I become light in American comics

In an instant, Barry felt that his entire life had been changed.

His life, everything he had experienced, his life so far, seemed to have suddenly become a joke.

Because of his mother's death, he desperately tried to prove his father's innocence, so he joined the Criminal Identification Division and appeared in the laboratory that was struck by lightning. It can be said that these indirectly prompted him to become The Flash.

And precisely because he became The Flash, his opposite will be derived in the future, this pathological enemy Reverse-Flash. And it was Reverse Flash who ran back in time and killed his mother, which led to the beginning of this time and space cycle.

"So I can't go back in time and kill you, or make your existence disappear, because that will also make my history cease to exist." Reverse Flash was still talking, "But I can hurt the people around you, I can Take away everything except your life."

He realized only one thing.

His mother's death may have been his fault.

It was his identity as the future Flash that brought about this disaster, and it was his enemies that caused the destruction of his family when he was young.

Over the years, he has felt nothing but sadness, pain, frustration and regret about that case. And now, perhaps for the first time ever, he felt... guilty.

It soon turned into anger.

"You son of a bitch!"

Red flames radiated from his body, burning like bloody flames. Barry's eyes were as red as blood, the red light of anger on the emotional spectrum.

It is part of Shen You's spectral power, and it resonates with Barry's emotions and becomes active.

However, in contrast, their speed seemed to have dropped.

The corners of Reverse Flash's lips traced a sinister smile that seemed to have succeeded.

Just as he expected.

As his anger and emotions spiral out of control, Barry's Speed ​​Force efficiency decreases. It seemed like it was getting harder and harder for him to try and keep up with Reverse-Flash.

But Shen You could feel that it was not Barry's body that couldn't keep up, but his spirit.

This coincidence seems a bit ironic. Barry Allen, synonymous with speed and the source of the Speed ​​Force, was born slow. The impression throughout his life was that he was always a step slower than others.

He never came to work on time and never left work on time.

Through the memories now shared, he could peer into Barry's mind and see fragments of memories flash through his mind.

He saw Barry and his mother, Nora, being pulled over as children years ago when their car broke down. The downpour fell on the mother and son. The mother was concentrating on repairing the car, while the little Barry stood helplessly on the side of the road, watching the vehicles passing by in a queue, splashing water as high as a person.

"It's unbelievable, Mom," Barry said in frustration. "No one stopped to help us."

"I guess everyone is too busy." Nora looked at him with a smile and said, "I guess if you meet someone who needs help, you will definitely stop, right, Barry?"

"Of course." Barry said without hesitation.

Noila smiled and touched his head: “What a good boy.”

"."

That's what he said, and that's what he always did. Barry keeps stopping all his life. He cannot ignore anyone around him who is a stranger to him, so he is always slower than others.

After his mother died, he even more isolated himself from the world, trying his best to prove his father's innocence and letting the world around him leave him.

Becoming the Flash was a turning point in his life, but it did not change the way his life was originally.

That's loneliness.

Speedsters are always alone. Because no one can keep up, it also means that you always have to live in loneliness.

"You connect the past and the future, Barry, you step on the singularity of time." Shen You said to him, "The weakness of the speedster is not kryptonite, but the fear of loneliness.

The secret to getting faster is to slow down. "

"Slow down?" Barry was surprised.

"Yes, slow down. We have broken through the time barrier and are moving along the high-purity speed force. Once we are swayed by emotions, it is easy to get lost."

Shen You said.

"Don't listen to what Reverse Flash is saying, focus on catching up with him. Let your mind slow down, calm down, try to think about Iris, and think about your lightning rod."

Barry closed his eyes gently and took a deep breath.

Think of Iris, think of

The red bow tie in my memory came to mind again.

Then there was their first date again, and Iris was wearing that beautiful black dress and smiling.

What is past is past. It's easy to get lost if you dwell on the past. Shen You is right, this is the kryptonite of the speedster, the curse of the speed force.

So he must always remember who and what he is running for now.

His speed is about building a better future, not chasing the past.

"I'm The Flash, the fastest man alive."

When Barry opened his eyes again, the golden electric current burst out with vitality again, and the operation of the Speed ​​Force once again reached its peak.

"As much as you keep twisting that fact, Reverse-Flash."

The distance between the two sides was shortened in an instant, and the electric light afterimage overtook him in a straight line in just a moment, crossing the reverse lightning and rushing in front of him.

".But I've always been faster than you."

"What!?"

He was easily overtaken in an instant, and the surprise on Reverse Flash's face was clear.

His Negative Speed ​​Force has never been stronger than it is today, not to mention that he also gained the power of death. Why is it still not fast enough even with this?

Is there anything else about the secret of The Flash's speed that I haven't discovered yet?

But then he discovered that there was an even more terrifying part.

That means he can no longer stop.

When Ultraman's body in the current rushed past him and rushed forward, the trajectory of time and space was rewritten. It was as if he was using the energy released by his body to guide the direction of the entire time and space. The speed of energy in the time and space they were in was like a rushing river.

Ultraman guides the direction of this river, and he is just a small boat in the rapids. His engine power was completely unable to resist the thrust, and he could only move forward with the current.

"Okay, we have taken the initiative, what should we do now?" Barry asked, "We tried to kill Black Lightning last time, but now it seems the effect is not very good."

"It doesn't matter, I have a plan." Shen You said.

Shen You sprinted at full speed without looking back, dragging Reverse Lightning with the tail flame of the Speed ​​Force and had to follow them all the way.

Shen You took them out of the 21st century and sprinted towards the future. Fragments from different eras flashed like blurry slides in this chaotic time and space.

Fifty million years later, Reverse Flash followed them into this time and space, and his figure was as small as a black dot.

Eight hundred million years later, Barry was surprised to find that their descendants were numerous enough to populate a solar system. They took one more distracted look, and Reverse-Flash caught up a little bit.

Sometime two billion years from now, the Earth is destroyed. The red star engulfs the aqua planet. The Milky Way has fallen, and the stars have turned cold.

They are still accelerating, still moving forward. Everything in the universe is constantly changing, and one step is a distance of hundreds of millions of years. After running for an unknown amount of time, they finally broke out of the force field and crossed the finish line - the boundary of the speed field covering the multiverse.

Because this is the end of time.

They ran to the farthest point where time spread, beyond time. There is no concept of time here, life has ended long ago, and the universe itself ceases to exist.

Even the concept of death has ceased to exist.

"I don't."

Reverse-Flash was finally able to stop running. He knelt down in the pure white void and held his head.

"Death. Death is gone. You. Impossible."

Shen You's figure appeared silently behind him.

"Black Lightning is the embodiment of the law of death and cannot be killed. The only thing that can destroy the rules is the rules. There is no death at the end of time, so the moment it enters this realm, it is obliterated."

Shen You said calmly.

"It seems that your research is not good enough, Dr. Swann."

But to be honest, this is actually not Shen You’s own idea, but that of Wally West, the third generation Flash in the comics. Black Lightning was nearly unstoppable and completely invincible when he first appeared in the comics. And Wally defeated him with this move.

Of course, this is based on an absolute speed that is enough to reach the end of time. Even if they knew how, no one except The Flash could do it.

"Accept the reality, Swann, your time has passed. Or has it not come yet? It doesn't matter."

Shen You stepped forward and came behind Reverse Lightning.

"I do not understand."

Reverse-Flash looked at him blankly.

"There is no death at the end of time, so there is no life. Black Lightning disappeared, why wouldn't you"

"Did you make something wrong? I am not the incarnation of life."

Shen You smiled softly, stretched out his hand and patted Reverse Lightning on the shoulder.

"I'm just a passing Ultraman."

The energy was released and eroded into Reverse Lightning's body. The latter still maintained the puzzled and unwilling expression, and his body disintegrated in the energy flow, turning into countless particles, and disappeared at the end of time.
