I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 1419 The Price of Speed ​​Force

All miracles have a price.

When he was first brought to the "Speed ​​Force Storage Laboratory" by Barry, Harry still sighed: I paid too little attention to Barry, and I didn't even know that his Speed ​​Force characteristic was "Limbo Microstep"—— Running while ignoring the conservation of energy, infinitely increasing the speed force like a perpetual motion machine—so much so that the speed force of countless billions of units was missed.

Wait for the "Reverse Cosmic Treadmill to start", wait for Reverse Lightning to run at high speed under the control of the fat head, wait for her to upgrade the speed force defense expertise from level 5 to level 7 and a half, and wait for the ghost to appear. Harley no longer regrets, she starts Fortunately, I didn't discover Barry's bug in my early years, so I didn't push all the Speed ​​Force's debts to my friends.

Well, in order to let Reverse Lightning run honestly and in the way she wanted, she imitated the model of "Parallax Demon", let the fat head get into Reverse Lightning's body, forcibly occupied his body, and turned into "Ion Demon".

The fusion of Parallax Monster and Yellow Lantern is called "Parallax Demon", and the fusion of Ion Shark and Green Lantern is called "Ion Man".

A "demon" and a "man" are not determined by the attribute of emotional energy.

Whether it is a hero or a devil depends on the performance of the host after the fusion.

If the will of the lamp beast overwhelms the host, controls the body with the instinct of the lamp beast, and behaves like a demon, then he is a demon.

If the Lantern Beast behaves peacefully, voluntarily lends its power to the host, and fully cooperates with the host's will, then he is... not necessarily a hero. If the host is a jerk, he abuses his power, behaves like a demon, and is still a demon. .

If the Lantern Beast is more "reserved", in addition to the requirements for the host's emotional energy talent, and set some restrictions on ideology and morality, the combination of the Lantern Man and the Lantern Beast can be called a man.

Like ion sharks.

Even if the fat head became good friends with Harley, he was reluctant to fit in with her.

First of all, she is unwilling to open her mind completely to it, and humans and beasts cannot be perfectly integrated; second, she is not a good person, with a fat head and a moral cleanliness.

Later, the fat head gradually integrated into the "Quinn family", and the requirements were gradually lowered. He used the model of a power bank many times to briefly fit with Ivy and Selena—not a permanent fit, but a few days to cope with the crisis. Or hours.

Even if the host is not the brave and fearless hero it expects, the fat head keeps his own way and never affects the host's thinking.

Just because the fat head doesn't affect the host doesn't mean it can't distort the host's emotions.

The parallax monster is just the embodiment of fear. When a powerhouse of Kyle Renner's level has a loophole in his thinking and fear, it can completely suppress his will.

Fat head is the embodiment of will, theoretically it is easier to distort the host's thoughts than other lamp beasts.

The reason why Ion Man is not like Parallax Demon is that the Lantern Beast turns against the guest, just because the fat head is unwilling to control the host.

If it wants to control the host, at least the will of Kyle Rayner, the most glorious Green Lantern in history, can't resist - Kyle failed to break free from the control of the parallax monster in the first place, and the fat head's will far surpasses the parallax monster .

So can Reverse Lightning Swan's will be stronger than Kyle's?
If his will is stronger than Kyle's, it's not that Kyle was chosen by the Lantern Ring.

Therefore, when the fat head learns the parallax monster and occupies the body of the reverse lightning, the reverse lightning has no resistance.

At the beginning, Barry asked Harry to persuade Dr. Swan that if he gave his speed force, he could be released on bail as an ordinary person.

Harry didn't hesitate to reject the indecisive, uncertain proposal.

After hearing that Reverse Lightning was revived, her first thought was "God does not take, regret for life", and her second thought was "Maybe the fat head can control him".

In the cell of Iron Mountain Prison, she didn't even wake up Reverse Lightning who was under anesthesia, and opened her mouth to him directly: the fat head crawled out of her throat, and burrowed into his seven orifices.

When he opened his eyes, there was a symbol of a green lamp furnace under his eyes, and his body was covered with a green lamp uniform. With a light struggle, the "click click" chain was broken.

"Harry, let me get acquainted with his abilities first." "Ion Demon" said something to her, then stood in place and "buzzed" trembling with yellow-green phantoms.

Barry was dumbfounded at the time.

At first he was dazed, followed by a moment of fear and rejoicing: If Harley used this trick on him, he would definitely not be able to handle it; fortunately, Harley is not a bad person. Well, although for a person who has lost her magic power, she is as bad as she can be, but she Don't play tricks on your friends.

The subsequent process went smoothly. Ion Demon fully cooperated with Harry and Barry. It ran on the treadmill, and its speed force poured into Harry's body on the "electric chair" next to it. The treadmill extracted the speed force of Ion Demon while running, The Speed ​​Force is connected to the nearby energy chair through a conduit.

Harry sat on it, and clusters of yellow lightning jumped on her body, which was more comfortable than killing chickens.

This is the most comfortable upgrade process she has ever encountered in her life.

"Gudong Gudong." The experience jar was overflowing, and she was level six.

"Gudong Gudong." The experience jar was overflowing again, and she had level [-] speed force defense expertise!

"Gudong Gudong." The experience jar continued to rise, and sudden changes occurred, "Boom~~"

On the runway of the treadmill, a gray-white space door suddenly cracked open.

"Woo~~~" The miserable wind howled out, the voltage in the laboratory became unstable, and the electric lights flickered.

"呵——" The ion demon slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of the space door, instead of rushing directly into the door.

Barry's treadmill is a ring with a diameter of 200 meters, built in a metal tunnel, a bit like a ring particle accelerator.

The Ion Demon is running on the circular track, and Harley is receiving the Speed ​​Force on the nearby test bench.

The gray-white space door appeared abruptly in the middle of the runway.

"What is this?" Ion Demon just asked, and a smoky black ghost emerged from the other side.

"No, it's the ghost of time." Bari's expression changed drastically, "Run away, don't let the ion demon catch you."

"Woo~~~" The smoky ghost raised the scythe so fast that Harley activated the seventh-level speed force defense feat, but almost failed to catch it.

"Swann, your time is over, come with me!"

It came to the ion demon almost instantly, and the sickle cut its neck.

"Whoosh!" The ion demon was a little slow to react, but it managed to avoid the scythe at the last moment.

"Run, run, you can only get rid of it if you are faster than it." Barry cried anxiously.

The ion demon began to run wildly around the treadmill tunnel, followed by the time ghost, and the distance between the two sides was visibly shortened by the naked eye.

"Barry, take me there." Harry jumped off the chair and mentally transmitted the voice.

"Where?"

"Go after the ghost of time, I can deal with it." Harry said.

Barry took her arm, and Harry's vision blurred, and he was already surrounded by a ball of golden and red lightning.

Inside the Speed ​​Force, time seems to slow down infinitely.

Barry followed the Time Ghost with her, but didn't get close.

"We can't get too close, the time ghost will take away all the time of any living person when it touches it," he explained.

"Have you encountered this thing before?" Harry stared at the ghost in front of him, frowning slightly. It looked like a cloud of black smoke at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a "Flash".

In the uniform of the speedster, the uniform is tattered and the body is rotting
"The speedsters often touch the timeline when they are running at full speed, and then they may attract the attention of the ghosts of time. They seem to come from the self-defense mechanism of the law of time. They cannot be killed at all, and they can only—"

A transparent air shield suddenly appeared between the ion demon and the time ghost.

It's Harley's defensive gold film.

At this time, the distance between them was close to 20 meters.

The force field of the mother river of time, together with the rest of the defensive specialties, is covered on the surface of the golden film.

"Boom~~~" The ghost of time, like a blackboard eraser covered with chalk dust, slammed on the transparent bulletproof glass wall, filled with smoke and dust, and the blackboard eraser fell to the ground.

The "chalk dust" scattered by the ghost of time is all the power of time with the aura of speed force.

What fell to the ground was a mutilated corpse.

The corpse seemed unable to survive in the material world for a long time. After rolling twice on the ground, it disappeared.

Harley only used the defensive gold film to cover a gray-white strange source of magical power mixed with time and speed force.

Although there is only one dollop, there are almost 3 points of rich energy!
Equivalent to the sum of the magic power of the three demon dukes.

Harley put away the golden membrane calmly, and digested and absorbed the original source inside by the way. The speed force was used to improve the defense expertise, and the magic power of the rest of the time was turned into a part of the power of the blood.

"I buy it!" Barry recovered from the shock, and said in disbelief, "You killed it so easily?!"

"It was unlucky, it hit the wall and fell to its death." Harry said.

Barry swallowed, "Sisko and I have been researching for a long time, but we only invented a 'space-time shock bomb' that temporarily paralyzes its body.

When it can't move, take it into the river of time, throw it at any point in time, and let it lose its direction."

Harley smiled triumphantly in her heart. Her defensive force field just restrained it. When it hit the 114-level defensive gold membrane at a speed ten times faster than the speed of light, it was equivalent to punching it with a light-speed fist. There are ghosts.

"Let's go on," she said.

"Continue?" Sisko came over and said excitedly: "It is not an accident that we encountered the time ghost. Reverse Lightning extracted too much speed force from the wall of speed force, which interfered with the space-time structure and also affected the wall of speed force. Therefore, the protection mechanism in the speed force wall will be activated.

The ghost of time is not a real ghost, it is probably a manifestation of the law of time.

It is to the wall of speed force what white blood cells are to our immune system. "

"You also saw it just now, I just used one move to easily solve it." Harry said.

"But the appearance of the ghost of time is an omen and a warning, warning us that we can no longer draw the speed force.

The Speed ​​Force Wall is Wan Tianyi's 'enclosed wall'.

If there is a problem with it, the countless multiverses in Wantianyi may malfunction. Any failure may be related to the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people. We cannot take risks. Sisko said seriously.

"Barry, your running can create super speed force, right?" Harry turned his head and glanced at the runway of the universe treadmill, "It happens that there are two tracks, one positive and one reverse, and you run clockwise to create super speed force for the multiverse. Reverse Lightning ran backwards, drawing the Speed ​​Force from the Speed ​​Force Wall.

In this way, one in and one out, to achieve a balance, you can 100% ensure that the wall of speed and force is as stable as a rock. "

"Uh, this..." Barry and Sisko were both stunned, "Isn't this superfluous?"

Harry said: "You are worried that the wall of the speed force will collapse. Although it seems superfluous now, but the balance of the speed force's entry and exit is achieved, and the wall of the speed force will be safe and sound."

"Why not let Barry run? Just give you the speed force he ran out of, without disturbing the speed force wall." Sisko said.

Harry hesitated for a moment, then explained: "All miracles have a price. Just now, the ghosts of time were looking for Reverse Lightning. It means that after I got the batch of speed force, Reverse Lightning paid the price.

If I get the Speed ​​Force from Barry, Barry will pay the price instead.

Now Barry is providing the Speed ​​Force to the Speed ​​Force Wall, and it's for nothing.

The cost of my continued access to the Speed ​​Force was never on his shoulders. "

"Barry's Speed ​​Force was created by himself, and he has to pay for it to you? Isn't the process of his own creation of Speed ​​Force the price?" Sisko wondered.

"Are you sure the Speed ​​Force was created out of nothing by Barry?" Harry asked rhetorically.

"Is not it?"

Harry stared at Barry for a while, and said: "If the Speed ​​Force is completely created by you, it means that the Speed ​​Force is a new 'wild magic power' that has no master before, but you are the master now.

But I'm 100% sure that the Speed ​​Force is definitely not wild magic.

It is one of the basic forces of the universe, and it has existed since the birth of the universe, before the birth of the universe.

It was brought into this universe by the Mother of Creation as a seed. "

Barry looked confused, "So, how did I create it?"

"I think of three possibilities." Harry raised a finger, "Unbeknownst to you, you connected to the ruins of an ancient wall of speed and force.

A brick wall can crumble in time, and so can a wall of speed and force.

After all, how many times has our multiverse been restarted?
Now, you're pulling the old Speed ​​Force out of the ruins and turning it into a new Speed ​​Force. "

She raised a second finger, "The second possibility is that you are the Speed ​​Force itself."

"Ah, I'm a living person, how could I be the Speed ​​Force?!" Barry exclaimed unacceptably.

"The fat head is the willpower, and the spirit of existence is the light of life. If they are reincarnated, they still should not be the essence."

"But I feel that I have flesh and blood, and I am a serious person. If I am not struck by lightning, I will always be an ordinary person." Barry said.

"There are hundreds of billions of people struck by lightning in the universe, so you are the only one who becomes the Flash." Harry said disapprovingly.

Barry fell silent.

Sisko asked: "What about the third possibility?"

"The multiverse is restarted, the system of laws of the universe has evolved to version 2.0, and the Speed ​​Force will also be updated accordingly, and Barry has this destiny.

The old speed force was transformed by his running, and became a new speed force that conforms to the 2.0 version of the universe law. "Harry said.

Sisko said thoughtfully: "Barry, I think what Harry said makes sense, and the truth may lie in these three possibilities.

At least we can be sure that the Speed ​​Force you created is not a rootless tree or water without a source. "

"If Harley is right, doesn't it mean that Reverse Lightning will bear the full price?" Barry's face flashed unbearable, "Or I'll do it, Dr. Swan is guilty, but the crime doesn't end there."

Harry sighed inwardly, this was the reason for her hesitation just now.

If they don't tell the reason, they will have doubts in their hearts, and then the doubts will turn into grudges.

After explaining the reason, the superhero thinking will make them look forward and backward, and make a reputation for hypocrisy.

"With my protection, you don't have to worry." She said confidently.

"But."

"Don't be mother-in-law, at least he's fine now. If you want to worry about him, you have to wait for the real damage to come." Harry said impatiently.

——and the Paradise Loan has been taken, entered the account, and we have no way to get it back.

She also sent a spiritual voice transmission by the way.

"Okay." Barry agreed.

Sisko is right, stealing the Speed ​​Force from the Wall of Speed ​​Force will indeed trigger some kind of protective mechanism.

Next, in the process of upgrading the defense expertise from level 7 to level 8, Harry encountered three more waves of time ghosts.

There was one ghost in the first wave, three in the second wave, five in the third wave, and a group of eighteen in the fourth wave.

The strong breath of the law of time emitted by the ghost group almost pulled the laboratory into the gap between the wall of speed force and the mother river of time.

As early as Harley opened the fifth specialty - the defense of the power of connection, her own timeline was as stable as a rock and could not be changed by external forces. After that, she even upgraded the defense of the mother river to level 9, brought by the ghost of time. Time Warp does nothing for her.

On the contrary, after absorbing the source of their laws, her blood power increased by more than 80 points.

This is equivalent to more than 80 demon dukes!

In just one or two hours, there was such a rich harvest, but Harley was not happy about it. The more and more frequent ghosts of time came, it showed that the Wall of Speed ​​and Force could not bear this kind of "magic power" theft.

What will happen to her next?
How much time does she have left?
But her speed force defense specialty is only level 8, 9 to [-] is the real mana-consuming
"Om~~" Come here whatever you want, another space door opens on the runway of the cosmic treadmill, and billowing black smoke flows out from inside, filling most of the laboratory in an instant.

Within the range covered by the black smoke, even the metal instruments were dimmed, and the surface was branded with mottled and decayed rust spots.

The bonsai flowers and plants placed on the counter and the corner by the "Flash logistics team" withered into ashes in an instant.

"Ahhhhh~~~"

Sisko, Catherine and other researchers have lost their luster and shriveled muscles visible to the naked eye, almost turning into corpses in an instant.

Harry hurriedly activated the defensive force field, opened his mouth, and a yellow ribbon shot out from his throat, rolling up several people in the room and swallowing it into the dimension of their stomach pouch.

"Swan, the balance of the speed force you can use has long been exhausted, and you have run to the end of your life, come with me."

Following a cruel and indifferent hoarse voice, a black figure slowly walked out of the space door.

Its speed was too fast, even with Harley's eighth-level speed force defense expertise, he could only vaguely see a black phantom, unable to see its face clearly, and his body couldn't keep up with its movements at all.

But the specialization reaches the eighth level, which is already a single universe level.

Harley's physical body reacts slowly, but the soul's reaction speed improves along with the dynamic vision, at least he can "turn his mind".

As soon as she thought about it, she stood in front of the black shadow while defending the golden film shield.

The black shadow knocked out a human-shaped pit on the surface of the gold film, and it transformed from the original human form into a liquid torrent, washing away the defensive gold film from every corner.

At this time, the gold film has formed an ellipsoid, wrapping it inside.

"哗啦啦~~~咚咚咚咚~~~" The black liquid in the golden film ellipsoid hits everywhere, and it is still difficult to break free. It starts to be like boiling water, turning into black "water vapor", filling the entire space, and still expanding violently .

This process is very simple to describe, but in fact the inner mechanism is extremely complicated.

It seems that the black shadow has turned into liquid, but in fact it is too fast, vibrates at high frequency, and attacks from all angles, destroying the structure of time and space around it.

"Finely crushed" if the time-space fragments of sand grains gather together and shake, it looks like a mass of liquid.

Afterwards, it turned into "black water vapor", because the time and space inside the defensive gold membrane was completely destroyed, there was no space and time, and the black shadow was extremely fast, and the frequency of attacking the gold membrane was extremely high, and the people who penetrated through the gold membrane Look, it's like a cloud of smoke.

"Gudong Gudong." Harley's brow was sweating, she gritted her teeth, and the level experience jar in the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness kept bubbling.

114级10%，114级11%，114级12%
Just looking at the trend of increasing experience, although Harley doesn't know what Sombra is, she is 100% sure that it is a "big guy"!
"BOOOM!"

With a muffled sound, the ellipsoidal gold film covering the shadow, like a balloon that was scorched by fire, exploded into several pieces.

The black shadow glanced at Harley with dead and rotten eyes, and continued to pounce on the ion demon, "Swann, come with me, your time is over."

"Harry, what kind of monster is this? It feels scarier than the Black Death Emperor. It has a creepy feeling."

Within one-hundredth of a second when Harry trapped the shadow with the golden membrane, the Ion Demon and Barry had already come to her side.

"It's Black Lightning." Barry swallowed, and said with difficulty: "I have encountered it several times, and every time it appears, it will definitely take away a speedster.

Never an exception, never a miss.

I watched it pull several powerful speedsters into the speed force space, they struggled, they screamed, they were helpless, it was very miserable.

Today's Black Lightning is significantly more powerful, because I find that I can't keep up with its speed.

Simply put, I can't beat it. "

"Swan, come with me!"

Before he finished speaking, the black shadow had already come to the Ion Demon, with his withered and blackened right hand resting on the Ion Demon's shoulder, and the Ion Demon was like a wooden stake, without any resistance, or in other words, completely unresponsive.

But Harry reacted in time, and a defensive gold film protected himself and the ion demon.

"Useless struggle." Soi Ying stretched out his hand a little forward, "Boom!"

The defensive gold film was instantly broken.

Of course, this moment is not short for the speedster.

The black lightning's high-frequency vibration attack, at a speed exceeding the speed of light, has attacked the gold membrane hundreds of millions of times.

However, Black Lightning is indeed more calm than before. When it attacked the golden membrane, it still focused on speed and force lightning, but now it replaced it with a purely physical impact.

Apparently it found a "flaw" in the gold film.

"Whoosh~~~" The next moment, Black Lightning disappeared on the treadmill with the ion demon.

Barry blinked, looked left and right, there was no one in the lab except himself.

"Harry. She grabbed Black Lightning's neck just now, shit, Harry, are you crazy?!" He was stunned for a moment, cursed, and rushed into the wall of speed and force.
