Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning fell from the clouds, attracted by the metal needle at the top of the Star Labs, and transformed into pure energy that was channeled downwards.

Shimizu felt that everything around him, except for himself and Barry beside him, seemed to have become unfamiliar.

Looking around, he saw dazzling halos of light, dreamlike and illusionary, making it hard to see clearly.

Beautiful, yet terrifying.

The terror stemmed from Shimizu's perception of the terrifying energy fluctuations around him.

This was simulating the environment at the beginning of the universe under extremely high energy conditions.

At the control panel, Caitlin reached out and pressed a red button beside her.

"Boom!"

"Huff..."

Shimizu took a deep breath, his right hand hidden in a corner Barry couldn't see, forming a hand seal with one hand, mobilizing the Wind Release chakra within his body, and his left hand in his pocket, pressing the stun gun against his thigh.

Until a certain moment arrived.

"Boom!"

Before Shimizu could realize what was happening, he was knocked to the ground by a shockwave.

He felt dizzy, his body hot, and it took him a while to stand up.

Along with it came trembling hands and feet, weakness all over his body, and an accelerated heartbeat.

Shimizu, who had chakra to strengthen his body, was already like this, and Barry, who had lost his superpowers and become an ordinary person, was even worse, falling into a coma.

No, it shouldn't be called worse.

Shimizu looked at Barry, thinking to himself.

At this moment, Barry's skin had a reddish glow from the inside out, clearly showing the texture of his skin and muscles, and some wounds had appeared.

But at the same time, red lightning bolts were wrapped around Barry's body, and those wounds were rapidly healing at a rate barely perceptible to the naked eye under the influence of the Speed Force.

"Barry, Barry!"

Voices rang out from outside the hallway, and Shimizu remembered that his Transformation Technique had failed because his main body had suffered a heavy blow, so he re-formed the hand seal and transformed back.

But he found that his control over chakra seemed to be much smoother than before.

Everyone rushed in.

Joe and Iris ran to Barry's side, looking worried.

"Are you okay?"

Caitlin asked Shimizu with concern.

"A little dizzy, some tinnitus, and my body is hot."

Shimizu stood up straight with Caitlin's support.

"Let's go to the medical bay, I'll check you and Barry out."

Joe carried Barry on his back, and Cisco and Caitlin helped Shimizu to the medical bay.

Star Labs had first-class medical equipment, and Caitlin was also a genuine biomedical Ph.D., so she quickly detected the condition of the two.

"No problem, Barry suffered some minor injuries, and his body is re-adapting to the Speed Force. Under the influence of the Speed Force, his recovery speed will become faster and faster, and he may wake up in the next second."

"Mr. Walter's condition is better than Barry's, but his body is being transformed by dark matter energy. He needs to replenish a lot of nutrients, mainly because he has digested too much energy stored in his body, and he has some hypoglycemia. Replenishing it will be fine."

Caitlin said, looking at the pictures and data displayed on the instrument.

Joe breathed a sigh of relief.

Shimizu crossed his arms and nodded slightly.

He secretly used medical ninjutsu to check, and the results were similar.

Judging from his physical condition, he was indeed affected by dark matter.

It's just that he can't accurately know what abilities he has gained.

"Want one? Caitlin made these high-sugar energy bars specifically for Barry. One bar can provide 10,000 calories of energy, as well as other trace elements needed by the human body."

Cisco took an energy bar from a box next to him and handed it to Shimizu.

"Thanks, man."

Shimizu took the energy bar and began to chew on it.

It tasted a bit like ginger candy, but it was sweeter, even a bit cloying.

But not long after eating it, Shimizu felt that the dizziness had improved a lot, so he ate two more.

The average adult male consumes between 2250 and 3000 calories a day. Without high-intensity combat, one high-sugar energy bar is enough to maintain Barry's usual energy consumption, but once a battle occurs, he has to eat it as a meal to be enough.

When Shimizu finished eating the third one, Barry opened his eyes.

Just as a red flash, barely perceptible to the naked eye, swept past, Barry emptied seven or eight high-sugar energy bars.

"Woohoo! That familiar feeling!"

Barry threw the plastic wrappers of the energy bars into the trash can and cheered.

"Congratulations!"

Cisco and Barry high-fived in celebration.

"I feel like I'm a lot faster than before now, maybe I can beat Zoom now."

Barry jumped up and down in place with a smile on his face, very excited.

"Zoom has absorbed your Speed Force, I'm afraid he's faster than before. I think you should try it on the treadmill?"

"OK."

As soon as the words fell, Barry instantly flashed to the super treadmill built by Cisco not far away and started running.

A blurry red figure flashed quickly on the treadmill, accompanied by brilliant red lightning, dazzlingly bright.

"Don't worry, Barry's body has been adapted to the Speed Force for a long time after all, and the time it takes for your body to complete the transformation is estimated to be pushed back for a while."

Caitlin looked at Barry, then at Shimizu, and said.

"I think... I probably already understand what my superpower is."

Shimizu felt the strong wind coming from the Flash's running and said.

At least it was part of his superpower.

The Wind Release chakra and Lightning Release chakra within his body were more active than ever before.

Especially his sense of the wind.

No matter how subtle the changes in the airflow, he could accurately capture and perceive them in the first time.

He could hear the voice of the wind.

And...

Shimizu stretched out his left hand.

In an instant, dust flew, and a whirlwind fluttered on the ground, then quickly shrank, turning into a small tornado, held in Shimizu's hand.

The corners of Shimizu's mouth curled up in a smile.

He had just done this without using chakra, relying entirely on instinct. Using chakra in coordination, this ability could be completely combined with Wind Release, strengthening each other.

Then what about lightning?

Shimizu stretched out his right hand, frowning slightly.

The sound of electricity crackled.

Unfortunately, this was not naturally generated lightning, but still relied on Shimizu's own Lightning Release chakra.

However, Shimizu could also clearly feel that his mastery of Lightning Release chakra had reached an extremely high level.

Without any training, Shimizu had completely mastered the form transformation of Lightning Release.
