Chapter 305 I am... the Flash who will be remembered for eternity!
"A...choice?"
Reverse Lightning raised its head.
"That's right, an option."
Reverse-Flash heard Batman's voice. He looked up and saw Batman, his body wrapped in black and red lightning, assembling countless Batmobiles in an instant. They sped around the now-controlled Superman Supreme at breakneck speed.
The invincible demon's clothes were torn, and a horrific wound stretched from his neck all the way to his abdomen.
Even so, it did not prevent the immense power accompanying his every move.
No matter what it is, just one punch is enough. No matter how fancy the attack is, it will be reduced to ashes in the face of this overwhelming and pure monstrous power.
Reverse-Flash watched as the newest Batmobile Batmobile created by Batman exploded, but the sturdy killing weapon was no match for Superman's powerful punch.
And Batman...
Well, Batman has developed a new way of fighting. He transforms himself into a Batmobile and blends in with the Batmobiles he created himself, stalling for time.
The ring in front of me is still making a sound:
"No one has ever given you a choice in your entire life, has they, Swann?"
"But I'm giving you a choice today. You can choose to be a good person."
Reverse-Flash watched as the Batmobile, transformed from Batman, dodged Superman Supreme's gorilla-like hands as it slammed into the ground in a pathetic manner.
He transformed into a dinosaur, his body enveloped in the Speed Force, performed an emergency speed change on the ground, and then, right in front of Superman, used a zigzag maneuver to circle behind him once again.
The voice coming from the ring, Batman's, grew increasingly urgent.
"Okay, maybe what I'm about to say will sound like something out of a Disney fairy tale, but I swear I've always genuinely felt that way:"
"I believe you have the potential to be a hero. I want to believe in the brighter, kinder side of people."
Even someone as universally acknowledged as a supervillain as you.
Reverse-Flash heard Batman say:
"That's why I'm willing to buy you time to make a choice."
"Barry Allen wasn't born to be the Flash, Dr. Swann. You're from the future, and you know very well that every great thing begins small."
"And today I'm going to give you a chance, a chance to become a hero."
Chen Tao rambled on for a long time, while Reverse Lightning remained expressionless, laughing and crying at the same time.
"How ridiculous, how pathetic."
Fate played a cruel joke on him. He muttered to himself, then lowered his head and slowly stroked the red Flash suit, his expression both somber and fervent.
Reverse Flash's rationality told him that these were just Batman's dirty tricks. The other party had wanted to sacrifice him to accomplish something from the beginning. The other party had been planning this for a long time. At this moment, what he should do was to secretly think about a way to escape.
He wasn't without resources: to ensure that the Flash would sacrifice himself on the battlefield against Darkseid in the same future he envisioned, he not only taught the Flash techniques for exiling enemies in parallel universes, but he also secretly infected him with the Speed Force.
With his current Speed Force and Reverse Speed Force far exceeding those of the Flash, he could remotely manipulate the Flash into doing things against his will by pulling the connection between the two.
He had originally planned to use this connection to manipulate the Flash, who was unwilling to die, into obediently dying, but now it all meant nothing:
Thanks to Batman's preparations, the opponent had almost completely drained the Flash's Speed Force and poured it all into himself, not only healing his injuries but also reducing Barry's current speed to that of a jeep.
This is certainly not a permanent stripping of the Speed Force, but by the time Barry Allen's speed gradually returns to normal, everything will have already been over!
"So make your choice, Reverse-Flash." Reverse-Flash heard Batman say to him.
"You've spent your whole life waiting for the day you become the Flash."
He kept talking, like the whisper of a demon: "You always think you're no different from the Flash, don't you? You should have been the one who would be remembered for all time. That's what you've been chasing your whole life."
"So, did you sacrifice yourself willingly or unwillingly?"
Reverse Lightning ignores the other party.
He was still laughing and crying, lamenting his life.
Despite Batman's nice words, Reverse-Flash knew very well that the other side was probably prepared to force him to sacrifice himself.
So what's the point of asking this question now?
But Chen Tao didn't have time to wait for Reverse Lightning's melancholy.
Seeing that Reverse Flash didn't reply, he immediately said:
"Then I'll ask Barry."
Reverse Lightning suddenly raised its head.
This was not what he had imagined.
He initially thought that Batman's so-called "voluntary" act was nothing more than a hypocritical attempt to promote his own morality.
After realizing that he is not responding, he will become furious and then use the control magic or other manipulation methods that Darkseid had placed on him after he was captured to force himself to sacrifice himself in order to save the life of The Flash, Barry Allen.
He should have already seen through Batman's thoughts, but... what's going on here?
"Batman! If you want to force someone to sacrifice, I will absolutely not tolerate it."
The voice of Barry Allen, the Flash, came from the other end of the communication line. Reverse-Flash knew that voice all too well.
The other person sounded exasperated: "The machine you gave me didn't speed me up at all! You lied to me! That thing drained all my speed!"
"I was wondering what you were up to. So you wanted to use my speed to force Reverse-Flash to sacrifice himself. I will never allow that to happen!"
"But now only Reverse Flash can change the course of the battle!"
In Reverse-Flash's presence, Batman retorted, "I need a speedster. Turtle Man uses stasis, and Groudon is too slow and his connection to the Speed Force is too weak. I only have Reverse-Flash to choose from!"
Reverse Flash clutched his head, feeling a splitting headache.
His survival instinct clashed violently with his ambition to become a hero, gradually reaching its peak amidst arguments between The Flash and Batman.
The Flash, who will be remembered for all time, expressed his indignation to Batman:
"...No matter what happens, we will never achieve victory at the expense of others!"
"So no matter how much you say, do you really intend to replace Reverse-Lightning yourself?"
Reverse-Flash heard Batman questioning him.
"...That's right."
Reverse-Flash heard The Flash say, "If anyone has to sacrifice, sacrifice me first, not someone else!"
Reverse Lightning felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his head.
He burst into wild laughter again, shouting incoherently.
"I lost again!"
He suddenly stood up and frantically shouted at those around him, "I've lost to the Flash again!"
Then he jumped up, banged his head, stomped his feet, and howled desperately, tormenting himself until tears streamed down his face.
Finally, he said:
"let me."
……
……
……
Darkseid was exerting all his strength to control Superman Supreme, who was as powerful as a bull. His struggle with the Omega Effect, which was mixed with the anti-life equation, never ceased.
Darkseid was forced to stand still, no longer joining Superman Supreme in the pursuit of Batman, and instead focused on suppressing Superman Supreme's backlash.
Red energy surged from Superman's cochlea, and Blood Bull helped Darkseid alleviate a significant portion of the pressure.
For this Red Lantern Legion's Lantern Beast, it doesn't matter who controls Superman or what Superman does; its only purpose is to happily devour the anger produced by Superman.
So now he doesn't care what state Superman is in or whether he has caused any harm to Batman. He just focuses on continuing to replicate the actions that Batman taught him before, constantly provoking Superman through various illusions to generate anger.
For him, the only situation that would be detrimental to him is if Superman Supreme were to detach himself from his body. Therefore, to prevent this from happening, the Lantern Beast would also naturally and constantly interfere with Superman Supreme's attacks.
Chen Tao once again sent a Batmobile infused with the Speed Force to Superman's fist, shattering it with a single punch. While distracted by controlling all the news media on Earth, including Editor White, he couldn't see Reverse-Flash's manic crying and laughing. Instead, he clearly saw the Flash trapped in the force field, unable to hear or see anything, but the other person's lips were communicating remotely.
And now the situation is basically in place.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Superman stopped moving, panting heavily as if a bellows were being pulled out of its way. Blood continued to rush from his throat into his lungs, making Superman increasingly weak.
This is exactly what Darkseid and Chen Tao are happy to see.
Chen Tao could easily imagine that if Darkseid really manipulated Superman Supreme to kill him, he would probably keep Superman Supreme injured as much as possible to prevent him from regaining his senses and breaking free of control to cause him trouble again after recovering...
Chen Tao also hoped that Supreme Superman's injury would be as severe as possible.
Meanwhile...
Chen Tao once again diverted some of his attention to check on the condition of the gorilla Grud and the turtle man, who were thousands of miles away.
From the moment he left until now, he has used countless powers of the Red Death Demon, and the man and the giant gorilla over there are almost completely drained.
By this time, the muscles that had been bulging all over Gruud's body had shriveled up, and his hair was as dry as if it had been exposed to the sun for more than 10 days.
It lay in the corner of the cage, whimpering, "I want to go back to Gorilla City... Let me go home..."
The turtle-man's hair and beard have all turned white, which not only has the effect of the reverse speed force, but also the backlash of the static force.
He lay on one side of the transparent cage like a skeleton. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, one would almost mistake him for a dead man.
Chen Tao shook his head.
If he continued using them, two of them would die. He turned his head and looked at Reverse Lightning, which had turned into a streak of light and started running.
"Whatever you want him to do, it's too late." Darkseid looked at Chen Tao.
His eyes blazed with red flames of the Omega effect, barely managing to focus his attention before an enhanced ray shot out, following closely behind the reverse lightning.
He had previously arranged for Kalibak and his team to capture The Flash, but he overlooked Reverse-Flash, which was a huge mistake.
But this is still harmless.
Without his help, Reverse-Flash would never have been able to merge with Black Runner again, and without the enhancement of the Death Materialization Avatar, Speedster posed far too little of a threat to monsters of his caliber and Superman Supreme.
He's at least not as good as Batman himself.
He had already fought Reverse-Flash, The Flash, and Batman in his current Speed Force form, so he had a certain expectation of the strength of these speedsters.
These Speed Force users are nothing special. Although they are incredibly fast, so fast that even the Lord of Apokolips or even Superman Supreme couldn't react immediately, their bodies are too fragile, and their attacks are weak and ineffective.
Even the most aggressive supersonic hand chop is unable to tear its own body apart, let alone Superman the Supreme.
They can hit themselves countless times, but Darkseid only needs to hit his opponent once...
boom!
Superman the Youngster shattered the dinosaur robot that Batman had transformed into with a single punch, but soon the robot's body shattered like a mirror.
Not only does the Red Death possess the Speed Force, but he has also stolen almost all the technology and tools from the entire Rogue Gang, making him adept at using the Mirror Master's mirror.
Darkseid didn't care.
But looking at Batman's composed expression, a shadow always flickered in his heart.
Why is Batman so fearless?
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."
But just then, he heard a burst of wild laughter.
Immense pain filled Reverse-Lightning's entire body.
Enormous lightning erupted from his body, connecting with the sky.
So at this very moment—
The villain who vowed to become the Flash's greatest enemy made a dazzling entrance in the spotlight, dressed in the Flash's uniform and bathed in the glow of lightning.
The world is watching him, fate is watching him, all of this...
All of these scenes are exactly the same as those that Reverse-Flash Alberd Swann has imagined countless times in his midnight dreams.
His voice resounded through the heavens, deafeningly loud:
"Hahaha, I'm the Flash—the Flash!!! The Flash, who will live on forever!"
