Chapter 1706: S: The Apocalypse Event (Part 9)

~10 min read 1,956 words

"According to the normal timeline, I will eventually take away those dark powers, but not because I need them. It's just that the mysterious existence peeping into my brain knows the location of this power, and I can feel his greed."

"Before, I didn't have other powers, so I could only drag this matter out by firmly refusing to satisfy his wishes. But after I awakened the Speed Force, I thought the Speed Force could restrain this power, so I took it away to prevent that group of monsters from rushing in and detonating the energy."

"But I had just acquired the Speed Force at the time, and my control over the Speed Force wasn't stable. This power gradually merged with my Speed Force, but I didn't discover it, or rather, even if I did, I couldn't stop it. The erosive nature of this power is shockingly strong."

"Later, the dark energy completely turned into a part of the Speed Force that I could control. When I ran, my world was black. When I dragged any other person into the black lightning, they couldn't escape and would gradually be swallowed by darkness."

Schiller looked into his eyes, and he read from the young man's evasive gaze that he must have done so, but his conscience made him afraid to tell anyone.

"Are they enemies?"

"What?"

"Are the ones you swallowed enemies?"

"Of course!" Flash flushed as if he had been insulted, and said: "Who else could it be?!"

"Then I think you might not be very suitable for that psychological doctor. He might say you are stupid because you feel guilty for swallowing enemies, and then spend about six hours telling you about the necessity of lowering moral standards."

Flash was dumbfounded, and then he said in a panic: "I was actually just protecting myself at the time... forget it, this is not the point."

"You said you would lose control, under what circumstances?"

"When I have extreme emotions, my inner dark emotions will fuel the dark power. When it overwhelms the Speed Force, they will erupt together."

"And then?"

"Then I lose control."

"I'm asking what damage you caused after you lost control."

"Uh... someone will stop me, or rather, when I'm about to lose control, Jason will take this out." Flash reached behind his waist and touched, took out a freeze gun, shook it in his hand and said: "He will freeze me, and then I can't move—to be honest, this thing is quite useful."

"Usually when I'm frozen without activating the Speed Force, I can't enter the Speed Force. But there have been a few times when I was already in the Speed Force but lost control. I lost my direction, but in the end, they found me back."

Schiller nodded and said: "Okay, and then?"

"What else?" Flash asked somewhat puzzled, and said quite anxiously: "I just lost control a few days ago. I can't go on like this. This is a very dangerous thing!"

"Has anyone told you this?"

"Isn't this common sense?" Flash widened his eyes and said: "In case they didn't freeze me, I would have destroyed the world!"

"Another question, where do you live now?"

"Uh... Cat Getan."

"Okay, I believe that there are about three thousand disasters in Cat Getan every day that could destroy the world if not stopped. I guess you can rank in the top 1,500. Go find Batman and get a certificate."

"I..." Flash opened his mouth wide.

"Why don't you go find the Schiller on your timeline?"

"He hasn't been around lately, and I haven't finished my paper."

"Then why don't you..."

"I'm not here to write a paper," Flash said somewhat brokenly: "I'm very sad, so I'm thinking about whether to tell the little Barry who just awakened the Speed Force not to take that kind of dark energy. The Speed Force is enough!"

"And then the Barry on the other result timeline will replace you?"

"That would be fine. Anyway, it's all me. It's better if I disappear."

Schiller sighed somewhat helplessly. His body leaned back slightly against the back of the chair and said: "If your friends don't call this trouble, and have never suggested you improve, it proves that they actually don't care about these things at all."

"If your elders have never blamed your choice for this, and haven't called it a mistake, it proves that they think it might be a bit dangerous, but you can handle it yourself."

Schiller picked up the teacup and took a sip of water and said: "I guess you should have entered the age where you feel that the whole world is paying attention to your every move, but what I want to say is, you are not the center of the world. Humans stop about ten million dangers every day that could destroy the world if not stopped. Gothamites have been stopping this kind of danger or becoming this kind of danger since they were born, and you are not missing one."

Flash was about to say something, but Schiller interrupted him and said: "I think you should listen to your own opinion more. You can find the little Barry before making the choice, tell him all possible consequences, and ask him what choice to make."

"That's how things are," the Flash standing in the Speed Force said, looking into Barry's eyes: "If you use the Speed Force to leave here now, then I will disappear, and the Flash on the other result timeline will replace the current me. He will be a normal Flash, completely free from the trouble of dark power and loss of control, and you won't remember this."

Barry thought for a moment and said: "Have you helped others with this power?"

Flash was stunned, and then said: "Maybe. I can't say that I have been very useful in some things, but at least I tried my best."

Barry suddenly laughed and said: "I think it's like this, otherwise your friends... I mean, my future friends wouldn't be willing to help me solve troubles again and again."

Flash blinked. He seemed to be thinking about the meaning of this sentence. The young Barry didn't have such complex thoughts. He spread his hands and said: "It must be because your role is greater than the danger you produce that no one will blame you, and they will try their best to help you, isn't it?"

Flash was silent for a while and said: "But it's not that you have to use this dark power."

"When you took this power, were you just trying to prevent others from getting it?"

"Not entirely..." Flash took a deep breath. Facing his younger self, he seemed to open his heart and said words he hadn't said to any other friends: "I thought I could help Batman. I know he wants to save Cat Getan, and I also want to help Cat Getan. No matter what others say, I think they are still quite pitiful. I want to say that maybe if I bring this power back to him, he can study the secret of Cat Getan's darkness."

"I never thought about swallowing this power alone. When I found that it combined with the Speed Force, it was already too late. I didn't dare to tell the Batman of this universe because I thought he might think I was a thief. I might indeed be one, because it was only a matter of time before he discovered and obtained this power."

"Then did you study any results?"

"I... don't dare to study it deeply," Flash said after a little hesitation: "Someone indicated that it might have great utilization value, but I am really very worried that it will leak out and cause pollution or make me crazy. There are so many crazy people in Cat Getan, my worry is not unreasonable, right?"

"Then thank you for your reminder. Then I will remember to tell Batman about this later, and let him study mine."

"No, wait, I am the future you. If you tell Batman in advance, I might..."

The next second, the space composed of the Speed Force full of golden light shattered. Barry returned to the real world, and then he found that time hadn't flowed at all. The monster's claws were still less than three inches above his head, eyeing his skull and brain.

"Barry, I'm really not joking. If this goes on, you will die. Only this energy can save your life!" Doctor Strange's voice became serious.

Suddenly, Barry let go of his hand, took a deep breath, and endless darkness surged into his body. He opened his arms to accept this root dark power. Doctor Strange's satisfied voice was blocked by him before it could be issued.

Doctor Strange watched the dark energy infect every cell of this boy. He was clear that soon those negative emotions would be released, and this boy would become a prisoner of power, would be more extreme and violent than him. After tasting the taste of power, everyone wanted more.

But suddenly, in that endless darkness, a point of golden light appeared, and then spread in the dark power at a speed invisible to ordinary people, and then the two merged into one, indistinguishable from each other.

Barry floated up, endless energy storms coiled around him. The monsters were shocked by this magnificent landscape, looking up at Barry.

A drop of black water fell, and the crisp sound echoed in the empty room, and the surface of the liquid gave off a majestic golden luster.

When the water waves spread, the monsters were instantly wiped out.

"How did I hear movement over there?!" In the corridor of the maze on the other side, Spider-Man ran while looking back and shouted: "Turn right, I can feel that the right side is safe!"

"I can still eat, hiccup..." Helen's roar was choked in her throat by a hiccup. Spider-Man was holding Aisha in one hand and carrying Helen in the other. He rarely roared with an angry voice: "It was you who insisted that there was delicious food underground! Running here desperately is why we were trapped!"

"It was you who were trapped, I can eat them all!"

Although Helen roared like this, she didn't struggle too much, letting Spider-Man take her to run.

After all, her current form really couldn't open her mouth to face these monsters. If she wanted to restore the original appearance of Doomsday, the ceiling would definitely be topped open. The moment the ceiling was sealed, Helen knew that others must have some plans. Unless the situation was urgent, she wasn't willing to destroy the friendly forces' plans.

Spider-Man's speed suddenly slowed down. He looked at the empty corridor in front of him in a daze, walked forward carefully for a few steps, didn't find any traps, and his spider sense was very quiet.

He continued to walk forward holding the two little girls, and then saw the big door. At this time, there was nothing in the big door and within a certain range around it, and it was quiet inside.

When Spider-Man pushed open the door, he only saw a little boy floating in mid-air. His soft hair danced with the wind, and there was no white in his eyeballs, only surging black power with golden light.

"BARRY!!!!"

With a "swish", Barry fell from mid-air and fell on the floor of the empty room. Helen rushed up quickly, grabbed one of his arms and wanted to help him up.

And Aisha was faster than her. She rushed to Barry's side, twitched her nose hard, and then shouted:

"You smell like my dad!!!" ===== CHAPTER 1707 =====
