Chapter 289 87. Run! Barry! Korrun!
"Things are a bit complicated, and I can't explain clearly in one or two sentences."
When Mason returned to the Atlantis mothership from the time maze, a crowd of people surrounded him. He knew what they wanted to ask, so he waved his hand and said to them:
"To sum it up, a group of outsiders with the same conscience as us have come here with equipment that can help the world completely shift before the doomsday collapses.
I know you may be tired, but you must act now.
Find a way to contact the local authorities, use their channels to make the whole world ready for docking, and send a collection message to the whole world. At that time, there will be special personnel in each region to guide them through the transfer gate to the new world. "
"But there is less than a day left before destruction!"
The old man said hoarsely:
"Is this in time?"
"This is the second good news I want to say."
Mason pointed to the gap in the time maze closing behind him, and said:
"Small Flash, who came with me, will take over from your Barry Allen to keep the system going. I don't know how long he can last, but winning a few more days should do it.
As for the work efficiency of my colleagues, you don’t need to worry at all, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing. "
"There will always be people who don't believe such a big thing."
Damian whispered:
"Things are too sudden, what should we do in the face of those diehards?"
"I don't know, but they have a way."
Mason shrugged and said:
"If they really don't want to leave, they can stay here, and I'm not begging them to live. In the face of such a doomsday situation, stupidity is an unforgivable sin.
Alright, let's do it.
I'm going to see the captive. "
He passed the crowd and walked forward, and instructed as if assigned a task:
"Selena and Thalia went to Paradise Island, Shark King took your 'loyal servants' to Atlantis, the people in these two places are 'strategic support', and they will be sent to our base world .
Zha Kang will contact you.
Their transfer work is at the end. I want them to see the scene of the world shattering with their own eyes so that they can follow us honestly. "
This arrangement made Thalia's eyes light up, and Mrs. Catwoman curled her lips.
When Mason walked into the cabin of the doomsday giant ship, he saw the Fenrir armor parked there at a glance.
This big treasure has obviously been used by the old man before, and its left arm freezing gun module still exudes a cold breath, which is the result of high-power operation.
In the shadow behind the dark and huge power armor, Far Zod wearing a black battle suit was standing there with his arms folded, like the cruelest jailer guarding the frozen prisoner.
A dirty yellow battle suit with a red lightning logo on the chest. The details are basically the exact opposite of Barry Allen, representing this guy's strong dissatisfaction and malice towards The Flash.
Reverse Lightning!
"Mr. K!"
Seeing Mason appearing from the darkness, he had just recovered from a sleep, and Harley Quinn, who also "guest-played" the security guard next to Superman Zod, suddenly called out in surprise.
She ran over dancing, carefully checking Mason's situation.
After confirming that Mr. K was not injured, the worry on his face dissipated. He took Mason's hand and hugged him in his arms, and followed him to the frozen Reverse Lightning.
This guy's Reverse Speed Force is as amazing as Barry's Speed Force.
Even though he was frozen, he was still recovering quickly, but the injury caused by Gungnir's projection on his left leg did not improve at all.
The weakness caused by divine power is affecting him. This kind of power higher than reality has always been difficult to deal with, especially for a runner who relies on speed for a living. Breaking a leg is basically equivalent to abolishing more than half of him. ability.
This unlucky ghost escaped the time maze in embarrassment after Barry hit his thigh with Gungnir's lightning, but bumped headfirst into the encirclement that Mason had arranged outside.
It can be said that his response is not bad.
Even though he was dragging a broken leg, he still avoided most of the ambushes by relying on the magic of the speed-defying force.
However, when he faced the Fenrir armor that had just been upgraded with the anti-Flash module and was driven by the vicious, delicate and deadly old man himself, his reaction was not perfect enough.
After a face-to-face encounter, he was slowed down, and was shot again by the dead shooter.
Then, when he was pulling with the venom black cat like a headless fly, he bumped into the hands of Far Zod who was waiting for a rabbit.
The Kryptonian who had just gained strength obviously couldn't keep up with the Speedster's speed, but facing a Reverse Lightning who had a broken leg and was heavily injured, he only needed to seize the opportunity and punch hard enough to solve most of the problems.
"This guy is dangerous, Mason."
The thin Zod, who folded his arms, glanced at the remaining scars on his chest, and said:
"Just now I was almost torn to pieces by his vicious attack. If you hadn't arranged it earlier, this enemy alone would be enough to kill us all."
"You just haven't gotten used to your power, Zod."
Mason shook his head and said:
"When you grow up a bit, reverse flashing won't be too much of a problem for you, even relying on the Kryptonian's instinctive reaction is enough to keep up with his super speed.
But you still have plenty of time to learn and grow, now I need you to help me watch, I need to talk to this guy.
Harry, stand back. "
"It's okay."
Halley hid beside Mason and squeezed her eyes and said to Mr. K:
"I dared to put a can of clown laughing gas on me. If this yellow guy dared to approach me, he would be sprayed in the face. Even if he killed me, he would still be infected.
This is what I learned from Mr. J. The principle is not complicated, and I have completed the modification. "
She patted her clothes on her chest, and opened the collar to let Mason see the "Die Together" system she had set up. This overly intimate action and the ball of white flowers made Zod next to him turn his head away.
This Kryptonian who spent the first half of his life in prison is surprisingly innocent.
Of course Mason is not a nasty person, he immediately stopped Harley's behavior, but he was not too worried that Harley's random combination of clown laughing gas would hurt her.
Although she looks crazy, Harley Quinn is also a top student with a Ph.D. She is very smart and often helps Mason, and she always has her own understanding of weird engineering items.
"Go, I will protect you!"
Halley leaned on a baseball bat, threw a bubble gum into her mouth, and took her big dog to guard Mason, showing a vigilant look with wide-eyed eyes.
Mason stepped forward and put his hand on the ice cube. The frozen ice cube melted while the magic fire was activated, and soon released the head of Reverse Lightning.
This kind of ice made by the upgraded freeze gun just looks simple.
Its internal structure is different from ordinary ice cubes. The weapons carefully produced by the Star Laboratory can suppress the speed force, making it difficult for speedy people to escape the cage through body resonance.
"Who sent you?"
Mason stared at the reverse lightning in front of him and asked:
"Which faction do you serve?"
"I serve myself, idiot! Not like you, a tool in the hands of others."
Reverse Lightning probably guessed that he would not be able to survive no matter what, so he was very single, neither begging for mercy nor talking nonsense, very stubbornly sneered at Mason in the cold air and said:
"You can never really kill a speedster, I can always return from time."
"Return from 'time'? Interesting."
Mason narrowed his eyes and said:
"I asked Barry, it is easy for you speedsters to travel through the timeline in the individual world, but it is basically impossible to complete the act of "resurrecting from the dead" in the super time flow system that coexists with the parallel world system.
After all, not every world has the Speed Force, but you are so confident that time will be your friend.
It seems that the person who sent you here has mastered some power of the super time flow.
Well, let me think about it, there are only so many individuals in the parallel world who can control time without involving the universe, and there are only a few behind-the-scenes black hands who can make Reverse Lightning willing to be a forward. Hazard's most famous one.
Are you serving Kang the Conqueror?
He is also a member of the Council of Hope? "
This inference caused Reverse Lightning's pupils to change slightly, and he refused to answer any questions at first, but this reaction had already confirmed that Mason was right.
Mason stroked the speed force tail ring on his little finger, he said:
"I am very interested in the anti-speed force you possess. This strange power that can cut off the link of the speed force may become a magic weapon for me to defeat some difficult enemies in the future.
So now I formally invite you to join my research project, and stay in the 'warm little box' I prepared for you as a research object for a long time. "
"You can't trap me!"
Reverse Lightning cursed:
"Everyone who has tried this has failed, and you are just the next **** that will die in my hands!"
"Well, then please allow me to introduce you to one of the super inventions of the black technology of the Isu civilization."
Mason snapped his fingers and said softly:
"That thing is called 'time stagnation capsule', you can tell what it is for just by the name, don't worry, my current skills are still completely incapable of making this level of unknown technological creations"
He took out the prototype of the modified freezing gun from his luggage, aimed at the reverse lightning and pulled the trigger, and the latter's head was quickly frozen again under the impact of the blue energy.
He looked at the crystal clear ice in front of him, and said softly:
"So before I make the time stagnation capsule, I have to wrong you to spend some time in the ice cube."
"Mason! Are you really going to do this?"
Zod, who was on the sidelines, frowned and said:
"It only takes one small mistake and he will run away, which is a big risk."
"I know, so I will send a powerful person to guard him."
Mason looked at Zod and said:
"I now officially appoint you as the 'dangerous object custodian' and 'jailer' of Team K, are you willing to accept my invitation and join us in the parallel world to find and help more people in need?
Mr. Farr Zod. "
Mason's extremely formal invitation made Zod hesitate.
He was suspended in the air and raised his head to look at the thick and dim hull structure above his head, as if he was looking at the stars through obstacles. After a few seconds, he rubbed his forehead and said:
"I can still hear the call from the stars, which existed when I was weak, and became clearer when I drew power from the sun.
My people await me among the stars, Mason.
I have remembered the mission I was sent to Earth.
I and other Kryptonian children were launched from the home planet to civilizations all over the universe. We were ordered to lurk and meet our invasion fleet at the right time to complete the conquest and colonization.
From this point of view, it seems that the earthlings imprisoned me not entirely out of malice.
I have my mission
And I'm hesitating whether I should finish it or not. "
Mason didn't answer but just looked at Zod. The latter turned his face, and finally showed a subtle smile on his thin face, which was not similar to Da Chao.
He relaxed his shoulders and said:
"However, I have learned the truth. This world was destroyed seventeen years ago. I am only living in the illusion of the past. This world is of no value to my people.
Including me who was launched into this world as a Sentinel, has also become a worthless member.
so.
Fuck missions and missions, I've had enough of this. "
He reached out to Mason and said:
"Kryptonian Far Zod applied to join the K team. I yearn for a free life that truly belongs to me. But Mason, I am not because I admire your ideals or agree with your ideas
You know.
My current knowledge is not enough to allow me to think about such complex and profound issues. I join you only because I believe in you. "
"That's enough! Maintain this trust and we will never let you down again."
Mason's hand and Zod's hand together.
Amidst the cheers of Halle taking out the camera and taking pictures, the most needed attacker of Team K was finally in place.
—
"Are you sure you're ready?"
While the outside world is busy and busy, in the core area of the speed force matrix deep in the time maze, the Barry Allen in the silhouette of time, who is like a faded photo, is walking back and forth at ten times the speed of sound. explain:
"Once you go up, you have to keep running, so as to maintain the continuous birth of the speed force to push the entire matrix, but if your speed is a little slower, you will be engulfed by the entire matrix.
You have to be faster than the matrix is already running!
This prevents the speed force from being drained from your body, which is already close to your speed limit. "
He said worriedly:
"You are too young, Barry, you haven't grown to the limit yet, your shoulders may be too immature to bear the burden of running around the world."
"I'm not as good as you."
Little Flash looked around, pouted and said:
"But you have no other choice, you can only make do with me. As for the risk of this matter, believe me, when I used the universe treadmill to travel through twelve parallel worlds in seven days and became extremely exhausted, I was already very tired. Know how dire the risk of burnout is."
This Barry, who is as optimistic as a young big child, raised his head and looked at the old, skinny but still running Barry Allen above his head.
There was a complicated look in his eyes, and after a few seconds, he said:
"And yet, it's a world, you know what I mean? Another Barry, something I've always wanted to do in my hometown but never had the chance to do.
Compared to my peers, I was always reckless and jerky, and I always felt that I didn't deserve to be part of the team of the world's greatest heroes.
And now, I finally have this opportunity.
After I go back, I can proudly declare to them that I can finally stand with them with confidence.
I alone saved seven billion people!
Please!
Is this super cool? "
He grinned and waved to the other Barry.
Then he came to the core area of the speed force matrix with a whoosh, and he felt the terrible pressure pressing on his young body little by little.
And he stretched out his hand, and put it on the arm of the old Barry who had no strength left to run.
Old Barry, who had abandoned everything in the Speed Force Matrix and ran for seventeen years, seemed to be awakened at this moment. The latter's face covered with wrinkles and age spots struggled to open his cloudy eyes, and looked at the young man behind him. .
That face surprised him.
Just like seeing myself many years ago, I am just as energetic and energetic.
"You're tired, Barry."
Little Flash said softly:
"It's time for you to rest, let me run instead. I promise everything will have a good ending, I promise!"
These words made the old Flash show his last smile with difficulty.
The moment he stopped running, the only remaining torso of him was like a streamer, sacrificing the last bit of his existence to the Speed Force in exchange for the system to continue moving forward.
Light spots danced around the young Barry, like a farewell to himself. In the golden light spots swirling in front of his eyes, Xiao Shan, who was holding an old battle suit, vaguely heard an old voice urging him to take a step forward.
"Run, Barry, run."
That tired voice said so.
So Xiao Shan took a deep breath, and stretched his legs in the terrifying pressure matrix. In the next moment, a more dynamic Speed Force burst from him, driving this old system to continue moving forward.
Golden lightning is flying, illuminating the entire area.
It's galloping.
It’s like a runner who never stops moving forward along the runway of racing against fate, just like the light that lit up in the rainy night that year, the lightning chose him, and he must give back with greatness.
Let’s start now.
