Chapter 499: Firestorm and Vibe's Abilities Obtained! (Second update, seeking subscriptions!)
In the pipe section of an abandoned building, Cisco held the equipment to lead the way, while Su Quan and Caitlin followed behind with flashlights to provide illumination.
"We are following the ionized particles; it should help us find him. The concentrated particulate matter is rising—"
Cisco walked toward a nearby corridor with a solemn expression, saying as he walked: "We should tell Dr. Wells and Barry."
"Let's confirm it first before we say anything." Luo Ni Lei Meng was their colleague; Caitlin hoped to be sure before telling everyone, to avoid a false hope.
Telling Cisco was because his help was needed to find Luo Ni Lei Meng, and at the same time, he was Cisco's best friend.
When the particle accelerator exploded, it was Cisco who locked Luo Ni Lei Meng in the underground pipes. Although this was something Luo Ni Lei Meng had agreed to with him from the start, and it was to save everyone in the lab, Cisco still felt very guilty and self-reproachful.
Caitlin hesitantly reminded Cisco: "Luo Ni might not be the way you remember him anymore."
Cisco looked at her: "What do you mean?"
"Don't be scared when you see him, okay?" Caitlin hesitated.
The equipment in Cisco's hand suddenly made a rapid sizzling sound, and then it went out.
"I really hope this is just out of power." Cisco took a deep breath and looked at the fork in the corridor ahead.
The flashlight shone over, and a homeless man with sloppy clothes and hair as messy as a chicken coop walked out of the fork.
"Luo Ni?"
"Luo Ni, it's us, I'm Caitlin, this is Cisco and Su Quan, we are here to help you, you went through an accident, remember?"
"I, I am not Luo Ni." The homeless man's face was very dirty, but this face was indeed Luo Ni's.
"You are! You are Luo Ni Lei Meng!" Caitlin continued to use a soft voice, trying to 'wake' him up.
However, this seemed to enrage him.
"I said, I am not Luo Ni, now stay away from me!"
Caitlin didn't want to give up: "We need to take you back to S. T. A. R. Labs, we will help you remember who you are!"
"Fire, Firestorm!"
Only a 'bang' was heard, and his hands and head instantly erupted with raging flames, as if out of control, angrily waving his hands and blasting flames at them.
"Watch out!"
Su Quan, who had been waiting for him to attack, forcefully pulled Caitlin behind him. Cisco, also reacting quickly, made a move to push Caitlin away and sacrifice himself to block the flames, but his action was a step slow, and he pushed at empty air.
Watching as Firestorm was about to hit Cisco, a pale green energy tide suddenly appeared, and a stasis field directly absorbed almost all the kinetic energy of the flames, and then, the stasis field disappeared.
The whole process was almost static, and no one noticed at all.
"Bang!"
The flames hit Cisco, and Cisco took a few steps back, checking his body with a look of astonishment.
"I, I'm fine? How, how could this be?" Cisco widened his eyes in disbelief; such a large ball of flames hit him, how could he be fine?
Why did this ball of flames seem to have no impact force? A paper tiger? Just scary to look at?
After being hit, Cisco didn't feel any impact force; even those few steps he took back were because he lost his balance and didn't stand steady, not because he was impacted by the flames, which left him completely baffled.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Atomic Manipulation (Firestorm)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Vibration Perception (Vibe)"
Su Quan was slightly stunned; he originally thought only Firestorm's ability would drop, but he didn't expect Cisco's ability to drop as well.
Then he thought about it, and it was also normal.
The particle accelerator explosion also endowed Cisco with superpowers, but his ability belonged to the latent type, and it wasn't until he was killed by the Reverse-Flash, and Barry Allen happened to travel back to the past to change the timeline, that the 'reborn' Cisco activated his ability and perceived what happened in the other timeline.
Cisco's situation was just like Clark Kent's in the Justice League universe when he was a child; although the ability hadn't manifested yet, it indeed existed.
Firestorm's ability was very strong, but for Su Quan, Cisco's Vibe ability was more useful and more versatile.
This ability could perceive the frequency of timelines and the multiverse through vibration, thereby perceiving people, things, and events in other timelines or other universes, and could even perceive the future through such vibrations!
Besides this, it could also form vibration waves to attack enemies or form Vibe wormholes for teleportation, even cross-universe level teleportation!
At first glance, it seemed to overlap with his dimensional teleportation, but in reality, it didn't. The greatest supplement this ability provided him was not in teleportation, but in perception!
In the past, when performing dimensional teleportation, he needed a clear understanding of the destination, for example, when teleporting from the Justice League universe to the Green Arrow multiverse, he had to know Earth-1 and explicitly intend to go to Earth-1!
If he wanted to go to other universes in the Green Arrow multiverse now, except for the few he had revealed and clearly knew, he couldn't accurately teleport to the others!
What if he didn't know but still wanted to go?
Rely on guessing, or rather, random chance; travel a few more times, and he would eventually arrive.
With the Vibe ability, it was different; regardless of whether he knew it or not, as long as he sensed the frequency of different universes through Vibe, he could teleport accurately!
Back to the main topic.
Firestorm seemed to have completely lost his sanity. Seeing Cisco unharmed, he seemed to be enraged, raising his hands to prepare for further attacks.
"Bang!"
A ball of energy hit Firestorm, making him stagger.
Su Quan stood in front of Caitlin and Cisco, the front part of his raised arm covered with a mechanical device!
Palm Cannon!
Su Quan's arm vibrated repeatedly, and several energy blasts hit Firestorm with 'bang bang bang' sounds, blasting him back repeatedly, and then, he actually turned and ran.
The current Firestorm hadn't mastered his ability at all, and his mind wasn't clear; it was normal for him to choose to run away after being attacked!
"Wow, cool!"
Cisco and Caitlin gathered around, curiously examining the Palm Cannon, especially Cisco; he was always full of interest in these technological gadgets, and Su Quan quietly taking out a Palm Cannon made his curiosity explode.
"This, where did you get this thing?" Caitlin asked curiously.
Su Quan said with a smile: "I have a technology medical company, and I am very rich, so—"
Caitlin and Cisco nodded, understanding. This was developed by your company. Uh, although it was a technology medical company, technology medical was also technology, and being able to develop such things was reasonable! ===== CHAPTER 501 =====
