Chapter 74: The World of Speed ​​Force

Reverse Flash, Albert Swan. A scientist from the 25th century, in which superheroes have disappeared and become part of history.

Swann admired the 21st century superhero Flash very much. In order to unravel the mystery of the source of his power, Speed ​​Force, he worked tirelessly to study it. With his in-depth research on the history of Flash and Speed ​​Force, Swann was given the title of "Professor Speed" in that era.

Unfortunately, although Swan became an authority on speed force research in the 25th century, he still could not touch the essence of speed force.

Until later, a time capsule from the 20th century crashed in Midtown in the 25th century, containing a Flash uniform. With the remaining speed energy on the uniform, Swan successfully copied and enhanced it.

After putting on the uniform, Swan possessed super speed. He dyed the uniform the opposite color of the Flash's uniform, but he did not become the Flash of the new era, but became a super criminal.

The reason why he became a super criminal was not because of a tragic childhood or ruined happiness. The reason why he became a villain was simply because Swan himself was a natural villain with an antisocial personality.

Whether it's DC or Marvel, anyone who can become a villain, except for natural-born demons like Thanos and Darkseid, is either a professor or an expert. In a word, the ability can be weak, but the IQ cannot be low, and the academic qualifications cannot be a hindrance.

All I can say is that there is discrimination based on educational background also among villain characters.

After taking a look at Barry, Swan showed a hideous and cruel smile on his face.

"Give up, Barry! You are an incompetent coward! The only way to solve the problem is to run, and run faster! But no matter how fast you run, what can you do? You still can't save the person you cherish most!"

After hearing Swan's words, Barry's eyes showed a hint of anger, but after coming to this world and knowing why the world has become what it is now, in the next moment, Barry's eyes were filled with determination.

"Don't try to shake me, Swan! The world is at stake, and I won't allow you to do whatever you want!"

As he spoke, Barry had already launched a swift attack towards Swan. The speed, which was already so fast that it was difficult for ordinary people to catch, increased again in an instant, and Swan also grinned at this moment. For a moment, the golden and red light and the black and yellow light kept colliding and rubbing against each other. In the sight of Ron and others, the surrounding space was filled with afterimages of different colors in the blink of an eye.

But let alone joining the battle, the crowd couldn't even capture the figures of the two clearly.

"So, the battle between speedsters is really despairing. There is nothing we can do except watch."

Shaking their heads and complaining, Ron and the others stood where they were, feeling a little bored watching the two men fighting thousands of times per second.

The Flash's agility is maxed out, because this incredible speed is likely to cause widespread damage if not restricted, so he must control his power output in battle.

The same is true for Swan—without the protection of the Speed ​​Force, relying on the air burst brought by the rapid speed, the atmospheric friction can indeed allow him to launch a more powerful attack. But as a price, his flesh and blood will also face the atmospheric friction and reaction force.

This also resulted in the two's attack frequency being outrageously high, but the damage caused was very limited.

And more importantly, the Speed ​​Force can speed up a person's metabolism to an outrageous level. Even if all the bones in the body are broken, as long as the person is not dead, the Speed ​​Force can restore them to their original state within a few minutes.

Super high speed and super high frequency continuous attack, metabolism beyond human limit, self-recovery. With such abilities at the same time, the battle between Barry and Swan is almost inevitably deadlocked.

Unlike the many dimensional energies of Marvel, the power of the DC world comes from seven fundamental forces. This power also creates a hexagonal warrior for almost every member of the Seven Leaders.

Now, feeling the fighting style of the two, Ron also moved his hands twice and said, "Thomas, can I borrow something?"

"Ah."

There were no extra words, but Thomas obviously knew what Ron needed. He didn't waste any words, but stretched out his hand and placed it on Ron's palm, and then a ring inlaid with lightning fell into Ron's hand.

Speed ​​Force Ring. When Barry came to this world, he found that the Flash in this world had not been born, so he stored the speed force in the ring and gave it to Thomas, who he thought was Bruce, and told Thomas the corresponding information to see if Thomas could find the key to breaking the deadlock.

Almost the moment he put on the ring, Ron felt an invisible consciousness enveloping him, as if it was examining him to see if he was qualified to harness the speed force.

Meanwhile, Swann, who was in a state of rapid movement, could not help but sneer when he saw this scene. While engaging in high-speed attack and defense with the Flash Barry tens of thousands of times per second, he sneered:

"Is this your teammate? You want to master the speed force to join the battle? Don't dream! Without sufficient preparation, the speed force is not a power that can be mastered casually!"

"You're right, but these friends of mine are much more capable than you think!"

With a cold snort, Barry looked at Ron with some concern, even though he was speaking for him. Just as Swan said, as one of the seven fundamental powers, the Speed ​​Force is not something that anyone can use.

As a force based on speed and movement that drives the space and time of the universe forward, unqualified people will be lost in the fantasy world that is stretched into a colorful world from the perspective of the speedster even if they are blessed with the speed force.

But the next moment, Barry's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Correspondingly, Swan's eyes showed a hint of disbelief.

After putting on the ring, in just a moment, under the gaze of the two, Ron's body was surrounded by a layer of Speed ​​Force. This surrounding stance is the key to every speedster's ability to run. It surrounds every speedster, absorbing the kinetic energy brought by running like a cushion, protecting them and any people and objects they carry from friction, air particle impact, gravity, etc. during high-speed movement. Similarly, it is precisely because of the Speed ​​Force surrounding stance that the fragile Barry can withstand the powerful kinetic energy that is enough to smash ordinary people. In addition to offsetting kinetic energy and strengthening defense, depending on the user's proficiency, the Speed ​​Force surrounding stance also allows speedsters to avoid being hurt by the reaction force when attacking, and strengthens the attack like a boxing glove.

It is no exaggeration to say that although the Speed ​​Force Surround Stance is an essential entry-level skill for every speedster, if you do not master the Speed ​​Force Surround Stance, you will never be considered a speedster.

Imagine running and fighting at dozens of times the normal speed of sound. Even if all other skills have been mastered, as long as the speed force surround field is not up to standard, it will only take a moment of less than a second for the speedster to be shattered into a cloud of blood mist by the friction of the air and the collision of the air particles, as the surround field appears with gaps.

A bird hitting an airplane can cause a tragic air crash, let alone a human.

And now, what the hell? He had just come into contact with it, but he had already mastered the use of the speed force... No, it wasn't even a mastery, but the speed force itself took the initiative to build a stable speed force surrounding Ron.

Barry is fine, as he is the chosen Flash. Not long after he felt the Speed ​​Force, he mastered how to use it and developed many unique abilities of his own. But Swan is not like that.

Although he was a top scientist from the 25th century and was even called Professor Speed, it was a pity that there was no carrier of the Speed ​​Force in that era. Until he got the time capsule from the th century, Swan had never really felt what the real Speed ​​Force was.

After getting the time capsule, taking out the Flash's suit from it, and feeling the speed force on it, Swan conducted a long experiment, research, and familiarity. Only then did he master the use of the speed force with great difficulty.

If Barry Allen's encounter with the Speed ​​Force was love at first sight, then Swann was a dog who begged for mercy. He accidentally picked up a corpse at the door of the bar, but after waking up, the goddess was still unwilling. After half-heartedly licking her for a long time, the goddess reluctantly gave Swann a chance to take over.

And now.

Damn! The goddess pounced on him and took him in her mouth!
After moving his body a few times, Ron looked around in amazement: "So that's how it is. Is this the world in the eyes of a speedster..."

Whether time really exists is controversial in both the scientific and philosophical fields. Some people believe that time did not exist before matter existed. Some people believe that time is just a concept defined by humans and does not exist in itself. Some people believe that time is an extension of space and is part of space and time. Some people believe that according to the theory of the multidimensional universe, the existence of time is inevitable.

Some people also believe that time is closely related to the movement of matter. Therefore, time is a relative concept. The scale of time is different for different lives. For example, for photons, time does not exist. Because it has arrived the moment it is emitted, for humans, this speed has reached a level of relative stillness.

Now, under the senses of a speedster, Ron could feel that the world he could see had begun to change constantly. Although he seemed to be standing still and looking around, in Ron's sight, as the scale of space was constantly stretched under the impetus of the speed force, the movement of things around him began to become slower and slower, and as his attention was focused, the boundaries of time and space began to disintegrate actively, revealing the purest state between the worlds...

"No!! This is impossible!!"

Seeing that Ron was mastering the power of the speed force at an extremely astonishing speed, even with the ability to travel through time, Swan still inevitably felt his defenses broken at this moment.

How many days and nights had I studied hard to master the Speed ​​Force? In order to be able to control the Speed ​​Force, I risked my life countless times to build a Speed ​​Force surround. What was the purpose? Wasn't it to be able to control this power and fulfill the dream in my heart? !
But now?
Look, the goddess that I have been pursuing so hard, the goddess that I risked my life to make her smile, just pounced on her and sucked her. I will just assume that I recognized the wrong person because I was not wearing glasses.

But now? They are too lazy to even stand up and push, but you just move on your own!

shameless!

In addition to anger, Swan also felt a strong sense of fear.

Barry didn't know, but Swan, who had been in this world for a long time, didn't know? This world was surrounded by despair, and even the speedsters couldn't escape from this world. In this situation, a guy who had never been heard of in the multiverse suddenly appeared here.

It would be fine if it was any other time, but now, it was obviously an enemy. Swan couldn't imagine what level of speed the other party could achieve if he delayed a little longer!
Previously, I was able to fight the Flash with my speed, and I could use my speed to prevent others from joining the battle. But now, two against one? No matter what, I must first eliminate this inexplicable guy!

Even if I am seriously injured afterwards, as long as I leave here, I will be able to recover as before in two or three days at most through my super speed!

As soon as he thought of this, black lightning burst out from Swan's eyes. The speed force was fully activated, and in just an instant it turned into an exciting torrent. Bathed in it, without the slightest pause, Swan immediately charged towards Ron at the risk of his life.

Although the process seems long, even in the perception of a speedster it is just a matter of a moment.

Looking at Swan who was rushing towards Ron, Barry's eyes showed a hint of fear - he could feel that this time Swan really exploded with all his strength!

He started chasing immediately, but the first-mover advantage meant that Barry could never truly bridge the distance between him and Swan.

But at the moment when Swan was about to hit Ron, Ron disappeared from Swan's sight.

When Swan came to his senses, Ron had already appeared beside Swan.

Out of the corner of his eye, Swan saw Ron's cold eyes.

“We live at different speeds.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Swan felt a cold arc of light passing through his body.
