Chapter 226 Crisis on Infinite Earths?
"Who are you and why did you stop me?"
At this moment, Barry's expression became very solemn.
The universe that originally existed suddenly disappeared, reminding him not long ago that he had just learned about an upcoming crisis that could sweep the entire universe.
So at this moment, he must go to the universe he is familiar with as soon as possible to find powerful helpers to prevent this crisis.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is, do you know the real reason why this universe disappeared?"
Peter stood directly in front of the Flash, as if he couldn't leave him without explaining his problem.
"Damn, there's no time to explain too much. This universe has disappeared, which probably means that guy has started to destroy the universe according to the plan!"
Facing Peter's obstruction, Barry's face was full of nervousness. He should know something, but time was urgent at the moment, and he was in no mood to explain all this to Peter, a stranger.
"I have a lot of time. If you don't explain all this to me, then I'm sorry, but you may not be able to leave my presence..."
Peter looked indifferent, but he said such firm words on his calm face.
"I'm sorry, I have to leave now. I need to go to other universes to find partners to fight the crisis together!"
Seeing how determined Peter was, Barry's eager eyes gradually became serious.
Immediately, the whole person started running at an extremely fast speed, trying to use extremely fast speed to forcefully break through Peter's obstruction.
However, as Barry entered a rapid running state, trying to leave Peter's side.
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly stood in front of him, as if it had already seen his movement trajectory, and came to him faster than him.
"This is impossible!"
At this moment, several years have passed since Barry gained the Speed Force after being struck by lightning and transformed into the Flash to fight evil and criminals.
During this time, he defeated his old nemesis, the incarnation of Dr. Harrison Wells, and created the Reverse-Flash Albert Swann.
Later, he defeated Extreme Speed from another universe, who also had the Speed Force.
After that, he defeated Savitar, the self-proclaimed God of Speed, who was his future self.
Facing and resolving crises many times has already allowed The Flash to master the Speed Force to the point of perfection.
He can use the Speed Force almost at any time and open up a Speed Power channel to another universe in a rapid running state.
He can easily reverse time and modify the past and future.
Of course, this ability can no longer be used after he first went back in time to save his mother out of unwillingness, thus creating the Flashpoint universe.
In short, the Flash at this moment, whether it is the use of the Speed Force or the understanding and control of the Speed Force, far exceeds that of most Flashes in other universes.
Therefore, he also feels very confident in his speed.
Even Savitar, the former God of Speed, might not be able to run faster than him now.
However, now, he was stopped by a strange guy he had never seen before at a faster speed.
This naturally made him feel incredible.
In particular, he didn't feel any signs of the familiar energy fluctuations of the Speed Force in this figure just now.
"No, this guy didn't have any fluctuations in Speed Force energy just now. Why on earth does he have such a fast speed?"
Barry looked at the tall figure standing in front of him with a calm expression, his face full of disbelief.
The next moment, Barry, who was in disbelief, turned around and ran back as fast as he could, trying to escape from Peter's control.
However, before his body could run very far, he was shocked to find again that a familiar figure had instantly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
Its speed was so fast that he couldn't see the opponent's figure clearly. It was like teleporting, which made him feel extremely incredible.
"This is impossible. How could he be so fast? I can't even see clearly how he moved here!"
At this moment, Peter's feeling of oppression over Barry's speed has even surpassed the feeling he felt when he first faced Savitar, the God of Speed.
It seemed that no matter how fast he increased his speed, he could not escape from Peter's control.
"The universe needs me to save it, I can't waste time here!"
Barry's face was full of unwillingness, and he turned around again and ran with all his strength.
however……
Swish!
Even though he was concentrating on sensing his surroundings, he still didn't see clearly how that figure appeared in front of him and blocked his way!
"Damn it, I can't stop!"
Facing the figure that suddenly appeared again and blocked his way, Barry couldn't help but have a hint of madness on his face, and then his running speed did not slow down at all, and even showed signs of speeding up.
He didn't make any dodge movement at all, and directly slammed into Peter's body with his body, as if he wanted to use extremely fast speed and impact to directly knock Peter away and then leave.
"Damn it, he didn't dodge!"
However, Barry soon discovered that the other party was not frightened by his crazy behavior, and chose to get out of the way, still stopping in place, blocking his way.
However, Barry had no intention of stopping at this time. He rushed directly towards Peter, but after all, he was still a kind hero.
You cannot act to harm strangers.
As he approached Peter, he began to control his body and vibrate at an extremely fast frequency.
It is the signature skill of many speedsters, the skill of shaking oneself through solid matter.
However, he soon made a shocking discovery.
The skills that were once indispensable have lost their effect at this moment.
His whole body directly hit Peter's body hard.
It was as if he had hit a wall as hard as metal, and his whole body was ejected with a "dong" sound!
Although the Flash's physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people, he still suffered serious injuries after hitting a solid object like a metal wall at such a fast speed and being ejected.
At least from what Barry felt, many bones in his body had been broken.
Even with his extremely fast self-healing speed, it would probably take several hours to fully recover as before.
"Now, we should be able to have a good talk!"
And Peter, who didn't know when he came to Barry at this moment, spoke slowly and condescendingly.
……
"Who are you? Why are you obsessed with asking why this universe disappeared?"
At this moment, Barry finally accepted the reality that he would not be able to leave unless he told everything, and couldn't help asking Peter curiously.
"You can call me Peter Parker. As for the reason why I am obsessed with the disappearance of this universe, it is because I am looking for the culprit who made this universe disappear."
Peter smiled and slowly stretched out his hand to Barry who was lying on the ground.
<divclass="contentadv"> "What? Mr. Parker, you said you are also looking for the guy who made this universe disappear?"
Barry accepted the situation without much hesitation, reached out and grabbed the hand offered by Peter, and then stood up with force.
Of course, the main reason why Barry had the strength to stand up at this moment was because Peter secretly used a biological force field to protect his body.
If it were like normal, and Barry ran into him at his fastest speed, I'm afraid that even if he had the speed force to protect him, he would eventually be disabled for a long time.
It would even be like an ordinary person who was hit by a hero named Locomotive in an American TV series, and ended up with his flesh and blood flying all over the sky and all over the ground.
It is absolutely impossible to stand up so easily.
"That's right, that's why I need you to tell everything you know, including the whereabouts of the guy who caused this universe to disappear!"
After pulling Barry up, the two seemed to finally be able to talk harmoniously.
"Are you sure you really want to know all this? If so, you may also be forced to be involved in this huge crisis that can sweep the entire universe!"
The expression on Barry's face kept changing, as if he was hesitating, but he finally relaxed and confirmed to Peter for the last time.
If possible, he did not want to involve Peter, a stranger, into this crisis, even though he seemed to have great strength.
"A crisis sweeping the universe? Haha, I may have forgotten to tell you that I have actually solved many crises threatening the universe more than once, alone."
Hearing Barry's words, Peter's face showed an uncaring smile.
"And, maybe after you tell me all this, if I am in a good mood, I can help you..."
"Well, since you said so, I won't hide it anymore!"
"All of this starts from a dream I had a few days ago..."
……
"Just a few days ago, when I was fighting a super criminal and running at an extremely fast speed, I suddenly entered a very strange, dream-like space!"
"There, I met a very weird guy who called himself the Monitor!"
As the Flash slowly told about a special experience he had before, a name that seemed familiar to Peter appeared in the Flash's mouth.
"Wait, you mean the Watcher? Are you sure?"
Peter's expression became serious and he confirmed to Barry.
He naturally knew the name of the monitor.
Just like the Marvel Universe, there are observers who are paying attention to the development of the universe all the time.
In the DC universe, there is also a monitor who is paying attention to the operation of the entire universe.
Of course, there are still some essential differences between the two.
Although observers of the Marvel Universe may be "forced" to interfere with the natural development of the universe, most of the time they will not interfere with the natural development laws of a single universe.
The monitor of the DC universe is different. His birth was to maintain the balance of the universe.
Because in the universe, there is another existence that is exactly the opposite of the Monitor, called the Anti-Monitor.
The Anti-Monitor has one goal from beginning to end, which is to use huge anti-matter energy to completely engulf all positive matter universes!
By then, he will have more powerful power, completely defeat the Monitor, and become the master of the universe.
"Yes, he does call himself the monitor of the universe, and his duty is to manage and maintain the normal operation of the universe and monitor the crises in the universe that can destroy the universe."
"And that time, the reason why I suddenly saw him was because he sensed that a huge crisis that could destroy the entire universe was about to come. At that time, all existing universes would be destroyed by an irresistible huge force. Swallowed by antimatter energy waves!"
"And I still haven't found out the cause of this huge crisis."
"I just heard the monitor say that the other party is a very powerful being with a strength that is not weaker than him!"
"And he also told me that the only way to save the universe is to go to other universes and find a few powerful heroes to fight this crisis together."
"And this is the real reason why I appear here now and seize the time to go to other universes to find my companions!"
At this time, Barry did not hesitate too much and directly told Peter everything he knew about the situation without any concealment.
"So, you don't actually know everything, but the guy named the Monitor told you from a special dream that seemed like a prophecy."
"Even you yourself don't know whether everything that guy said is true?"
"Have you never doubted whether the cosmic crisis he mentioned would really happen?"
At this moment, Peter couldn't help asking Barry seriously.
"Of course, I did doubt the authenticity of this matter before this."
"But, in my opinion, it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist!"
"Before we can't be sure whether that crisis will happen, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to tell the other heroes of the universe that I know well!"
"If this crisis does occur, we are prepared and can better resolve the crisis."
"And the result is obvious. When I learned that the universe really disappeared completely, I realized that all of this should be true!"
When he said this, Barry couldn't help but show a solemn expression on his face.
In fact, when the Flash first learned about this incident, he had doubts in his heart whether what the so-called monitor said was true.
But he did not sit idly by and ignore this matter because of his doubts.
Instead, he prepared to inform the heroes he knew in other universes about the news in advance.
Unfortunately, even so, he still seems to be too late.
Because, just now, a universe that originally existed completely disappeared inexplicably.
And this situation also allowed Barry to completely confirm that the crisis sweeping the universe should be real.
"So, is that powerful dark energy the antimatter energy controlled by the Anti-Monitor?"
"And the sudden disappearance of this universe is also because it has been completely devoured by the Anti-Monitor to enhance its power against the positive matter universe?"
At this moment, Peter, who knew everything, couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
This situation gave him a somewhat familiar feeling.
If he guessed correctly, this multiverse crisis caused by the Anti-Monitor seems to be DC's famous event - Crisis on Infinite Earths!
"But why do I always have a feeling that something is not right!"
