Chapter 78: Is Your Ares from Northern Europe?
After confirming that the Speed ​​Force could not escape in this world, and could not even make contact with speedsters in other universes, Ron was not surprised. He just followed the Flash to the Metropolis Center Laboratory.

In the laboratory, Cyborg sat on the chair in the center, with a huge cable connected from the back of his head, and his body was filled with densely packed data cables. His skin and flesh fell away, and the appearance of bionic skin was removed, revealing a skeleton made entirely of alloy, an electronic skeleton with a very cyberpunk atmosphere.

"How is the antivirus process going? Is it effective?"

"Very bad."

Thomas, who was helping to deal with the situation, said in a deep voice: "The virus code has already invaded most of the electronic circuits of the steel skeleton. Although the impact can be reduced by physical stripping, no matter how much stripping is done, even if all the infected areas are dug out, it won't be long before other areas will be contaminated by electronics."

Thomas took a deep breath and said, "The only way right now is to transfer Cyborg's consciousness to other areas. Otherwise, along with the remaining mechanical bodies being infected, Cyborg's own consciousness will also disappear."

"No, that will only prolong death." Cyborg's cold electronic voice came from the speakers nearby:
"I have tried many methods. According to my speculation and certainty, these curse codes have anchored the core of my consciousness. As long as I occupy a new body, the curse codes will follow. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Ron asked.

"Unless I cut off all unnecessary emotions." Cyborg said:
"According to the information obtained from the military laboratory, the curse spreads by contaminating and distorting individual consciousness and common sense. Therefore, the curse will have a slower impact on people with strong wills and mental breakdowns. When all unnecessary emotions are cut off and the pure electronic soul is transferred, there is a 40% chance that I can get rid of the entanglement of the curse."

"Forty percent? Not low." Nodding, Ron said, "Have you considered the cost?"

"Well, even if I become an AI, I'm stronger than a living dead." Cyborg said, "If there are Cyborgs in other worlds, then I still have a chance to be resurrected in the true sense."

"Then get started preparing, we don't have much time."

Seeing that Cyborg had made up his mind, Ron did not try to dissuade him too much.

In fact, Cyborg's action was very risky even in Ron's opinion - Cyborg screamed in pain when his arm was torn off. This was because although Cyborg had become a robot, he did not lose his humanity and retained realistic electronic nerves for his steel body.

To outsiders, retaining this electronic nerve may be a foolish act, but Ron understands this behavior very well.

"Why...I feel like he's a bit similar to you?"

Ciri on the side stared at Cyborg for a while, then said in confusion: "It's not about ability, but... form?"

Hearing this, Ron nodded and said:
"Although Cyborg's cybernetics look completely different from me and Geralt, they are essentially a mutation of a life form, but the direction and route of the mutation are different."

If you really want to count, Cyborg is literally a poor man who relies on mutation. It's just that the mechanical style of transformation looks more special than the genetic mutation of Spider-Man.

Thinking about it, Ron also explained:

"As for promotions similar to mutations, one often needs to maintain one's humanity and leave enough anchor points to prevent oneself from losing oneself in the process of promotion and becoming a puppet of mutant instincts. Geralt's anchor points for humanity are Vesemir, Yennefer, and you. Cyborg's anchor points for humanity are the many emotions and perceptions of being a human being."

"Removing these human anchors can indeed greatly enhance one's own strength and maximize the potential of the mutant body. But at the same time, it will also be dominated by the instincts of the mutated monster, and from soul to body, it will become a pure monster, unable to advance to the next stage, and lose many possibilities for the future."

After hearing Ron's explanation, Ciri nodded thoughtfully, and then asked curiously: "What about your human anchor? Why do I feel like you don't seem to care about anything in particular?"

"You mean I don't look like a human? How rude." Ron said, "My human anchor point is quite special. If I must say, I always remember what I looked like at the beginning."

“…” Hearing this, there was silence, and then Ciri shook her head with a sigh.

Were you such a rude person from the beginning?

"I feel like you're thinking of something very disrespectful."

"I think this must be your illusion." Ciri shrugged awkwardly, determined not to admit it.

In response, Ron looked at Ciri suspiciously, but did not ask any further questions.

While Ron was talking to Ciri, Cyborg's consciousness was also transmitted to Thomas' armor. Cyborg completely cut off his emotions and formed an artificial intelligence program similar to AI.

"That's almost it."

At the side, Thomas, wearing a heavy bat armor, also said in his dull voice that made people feel bitter and resentful just by listening to it:
"Cyborg's consciousness has been uploaded and is in this armor."

"It seems that the electronic robot also needs a cyber coffin lid."

Thomas ignored Ron's complaints and asked, "What's the next plan? It will take some time to sort out the materials on the military's secret base. Conservatively speaking, it will take at least a week to sort out the general situation."

"Then pick out the most important ones to sort out." Ron said, "The red sun lamp in the room where Superman is imprisoned, the special radiation that will make Superman weak in the intelligence data, and Superman's various ability indicators, strengths and weaknesses in the military's human experiments. Sort these out first and make targeted weapons as soon as possible."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Thomas said that he gave it to him, but actually it should be given to the Cyborg in the armor. However, the Cyborg has now lost all consciousness and will not speak unless necessary or mentioned actively.

"As for Barry and I... let's contact Paradise Island first." Ron looked at the Flash beside him:
"Please go ahead and tell the people on Paradise Island. This will prevent unnecessary conflicts when Ciri and I land."

"OK, leave it to me, I'll contact you later."

As he spoke, Barry turned into a flash of lightning and ran off into the distance, crossing mountains and ridges along the way, and even treading on water when he got close to the sea.

Gotham was not very far from Metropolis, but it was quite far from Paradise Island. Because this world affected Barry's connection with the Speed ​​Force, Barry was slower this time. While controlling his speed so that it would not affect this already broken world, it took a full seven or eight minutes to go back and forth.

Patting his chest, Barry said, "I have already informed Diana... But then again, Diana's condition seems to be a little off. She is obviously the safest of all the remaining human gathering places, but everyone is on high alert for something."

"We'll know when the time comes."

As he spoke, Ron looked at Ciri. Seeing this, he glanced at the coordinates on the map and determined the longitude and latitude. Soon Ciri also felt a piece of resistance that seemed to be there and not there. This should be the magic circle of Paradise Island, right?

Ciri remembered what Ron had told her, that Paradise Island was a God-created island where only women lived. It was shrouded by a special magic circle, and ordinary wizards and technology could not locate the true location of Paradise Island.

With the concentration of mental strength, Ciri quickly completed the operation of the ancient blood and quickly opened the door to the world.

"Ciri and I will go there first."

After taking a look at Bruce and thinking that the communication in this world had been destroyed by the world virus, Ron took out a resonance bell and threw it to Thomas, saying:

"Whenever you need it, just ring the bell. The sound of this bell can travel through dimensions and will not be affected by the curse. But as a price, your spirit will be affected to a certain extent when using it, but the impact is not great. If you mind, you can find some criminals to ring the bell. I can sense it and will come back to support you as soon as possible."

"Ok."

After carefully putting the bell away, Thomas said, "I will inform you as soon as there is any result here."

As they were talking, Ron, Ciri, and Flash also passed through the World Gate and arrived directly at Paradise Island.

In fact, as soon as the World Gate opened, many Amazon female warriors gathered around. The woman in the lead, wearing a golden helmet and silver armor, clenched her sword tightly. After seeing Barry arrive, she gradually relaxed.

Looking back at everyone, Ron said as if nothing had happened: "Yes, it's just as I thought. Fortunately, I asked you to come here to explain the situation. Otherwise, we would have been turned into sieves by now."

Hearing this, Barry on the side expressed his understanding: "It seems that my existence is still necessary."

"I know Barry, but who are these two?"

Sheathing her sword, Diana walked over with a proud look on her face. There was a hint of coldness and warrior fortitude between her brows. Although Diana in other world lines was also a heroic female warrior who was as brave as a man, the Diana in front of him was more powerful in every way.

A tearing wound ran through Diana's entire cheek, but this did not destroy Diana's beauty. Instead, it added a touch of fierce and aggressive strength.

After taking a look at Diana, Ron stroked his chin and said, "I have to say, Mera's helmet looks pretty good on you."

Diana wears two helmets, one is the divine armor of Paradise Island, which is different from the golden armor in the second part of the personal movie. Diana here wears a silver armor. On her head is the golden headdress of Mera, the queen of the sea.

The headdress and the helmet are inlaid together. Although they are two completely different colors, their styles are similar. At first glance, there is no problem. The only difference is that they are not perfect at the energy level.

After hearing what Ron said, Diana sneered and said, "Mera, that coward, is extremely weak in both strength and spirit. Her weapons are pretty good, but that's all. They were obtained only because of her status. Now that they are in my hands, these weapons have shown their true value!"

As she spoke, Diana glanced at Ciri beside her, then raised her neck and said, "As for you, although the Flash Imp has informed us, for the Amazons, trespassing into Paradise Island without permission is an unforgivable crime."

"This is an emergency, there's nothing we can do."

Ron said, "Or are you simply dissatisfied with the fact that the divine position of Paradise Island could be easily penetrated, so you feel an unprecedented sense of crisis?"

"That's about right. When it comes to threats like this, Amazon has a tradition of killing them without sparing any effort."

The battle-wounded Diana sneered, but then said:
"But it's all unnecessary now. Just like the little Flash can't establish a complete connection with the Speed ​​Force, the power of the Realm of God is moving away from this world. It won't be long before the connection with the Realm of God is lost and the entire divine position of Paradise Island will collapse. Haha, the world is about to end. Let's see who can make it to the end!"

Looking at Diana, whose eyes were full of madness, Barry on the side also pursed his lips.

It is really hard to imagine that Wonder Woman, who is brave and wise in her own world, has become a war maniac in this world...

As for Diana's condition, Ron didn't care much. He just said, "Speaking of which, it seems like you guys are having some problems here?"

"..."

Hearing Ron's question, Diana glanced at Barry, then said indifferently: "Almost. I did encounter a small problem."

"what is the problem?"

"When the world curse spread, we wanted to try to establish a connection with the realm of God. In order to change everything, we decided to use Paradise Island as an anchor point and summon the arrival of the true God."

"So, who did you summon?"

"Who could it be? Of course it's Ares, the God of War!"

Ares, Diana's nemesis in the DC universe, is a bloodthirsty killer and conqueror of a fortified castle. He is a symbol of strength and power, bloodthirsty, bloody, and the embodiment of human disaster.

If it were any other universe, this would be hard to imagine, but in the Flashpoint universe... it's perfectly normal for Diana to believe in Ares.

“So, what’s the problem?”

"I don't know why, but Ares who came is a coward I have never seen before."

Diana said disdainfully: "You have anger and war in your blood, but you hate war. It's so boring."

"What are the characteristics?"

"Features? Does a body covered in white ashes, with red tattoos, and a Nordic axe on the back count?"

"……Um?"
