I want to have a date with Superman

All miracles have a price.

When Barry was first brought to the "Speed ​​Force Storage Laboratory", Harley sighed: she paid so little attention to Barry that she didn't even know that his Speed ​​Force characteristic was actually the "Lingbo Microstep" - Ignoring the conservation of energy while running, the speed force increases infinitely like a perpetual motion machine - so much so that countless billions of units of the speed force are missed.

Waiting for the "reverse cosmic treadmill" to start, waiting for the reverse lightning to run at high speed under the control of Fat Head, waiting for her to upgrade the speed force defense expertise from level 5 to level 7 and a half, waiting for the ghost of time to appear, Harley no longer regrets, she starts I'm glad I didn't discover Barry's bug in the early years, so I didn't push all the debts of the Speed ​​Force to my friends.

Well, in order to make Reverse Flash run honestly the way she wanted, she imitated the "Parallax Demon" mode, let the fat head get into Reverse Flash's body, forcibly occupied his body, and transformed into the "Ion Demon".

The combination of Parallax Monster and Yellow Lantern is called "Parallax Monster", and the combination of Ion Shark and Green Lantern is called "Ion Man".

Being a "demon" or a "hero" is not determined by the attributes of emotional energy.

Whether it is a hero or a demon depends on the performance of the host after the combination.

If the lamp beast's will overpowers the host, controls the body with the lamp beast's instinct, and behaves like a demon, then he is a demon.

If the lantern beast is peaceful, voluntarily lends its power to the host, and fully cooperates with the host's will, then he is. It is not necessarily a hero. If the host is a bastard, he abuses his power and behaves like a devil, he is still a devil. .

If the lantern beast is more "reserved" and requires the host to have emotional energy and talent, as well as set some restrictions on ideological and moral character, the fusion of the lantern and the lantern beast can be called a knight.

Such as the ion shark.

Even though Fat Tou became good friends with Harley, he was reluctant to merge with her.

First of all, she is unwilling to completely open her mind to it, and humans and beasts cannot be perfectly integrated; secondly, she is not a good person, and her fat head has a moral obsession.

Later, Fat Tou gradually integrated into the "Quinn family" and gradually lowered his requirements. He briefly merged with Ivy and Selena in the power bank mode many times - it was not a permanent merger, just to cope with the crisis, and they merged for a few days. Or a few hours.

Even if the host is not the brave and fearless hero it expected, Fat Head keeps to himself and never affects the host's thoughts.

Just because the fat head doesn't affect the host doesn't mean it can't distort the host's emotions.

The Parallax monster is just the incarnation of fear. When a strong man like Kyle Rayner has loopholes in his mind and has fear, it can completely suppress his will.

Fathead is the incarnation of will, and is theoretically easier to distort the host's thoughts than other lamp beasts.

The reason why Ion Man did not turn the lamp beasts around like Parallax Demon was because Fat Head was unwilling to control the host.

If it wants to control the host, at least the will of Kyle Rayner, the most glorious Green Lantern in history, cannot resist it - Kyle failed to break free from the control of the Parallax monster immediately, and the fat head's will far exceeds that of the Parallax monster. .

So can Reverse-Flash Swann's will be stronger than Kyle's?

If his will is stronger than Kyle's, it's not Kyle who was chosen by the Lantern Ring.

Therefore, when Fat Head learned to be a parallax monster and occupied Reverse Flash's body, Reverse Flash showed no resistance.

At first, Barry asked Harley to persuade Dr. Swann that if he gave up the Speed ​​Force, he could be released on bail as an ordinary person.

Harley rejected this hesitant and uncertain suggestion without hesitation.

After hearing that Reverse-Flash was resurrected, her first thought was "If God doesn't take it, I will regret it for the rest of my life", and her second thought was "Maybe I can let Fat Head control him."

In the cell of Iron Mountain Prison, she didn't even wake up the anesthetized Reverse Lightning and opened her mouth directly to him: the fat head crawled out of her throat and penetrated along his seven orifices.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the symbol of a green lamp furnace under his eyes, and his body was covered with a green lamp uniform. With a slight pull, the chain was disconnected with a "click".

"Harley, let me get familiar with his abilities first." "Ion Demon" said to her, and stood there "buzzing" and shaking out a series of yellow-green phantoms.

Barry was stunned.

At first he was stunned, then for a while he was afraid and thankful: if Harley used this trick on him, he would never be able to withstand it; fortunately, Harley was not a bad person. Well, although for people who have lost their magic power, she could not be worse, but she Don't do harm to your friends.

The subsequent process went smoothly. The ion demon fully cooperated with Harley and Barry. It ran on the treadmill, and the speed force continuously poured into Harley's body on the "electric chair" next to it. The treadmill extracted the speed force of the running ion demon. The Speed ​​Force is connected to the energy chair on the side through a conduit.

Harley sat on it, with clusters of yellow lightning jumping on her body, which was more comfortable than trying to kill a chicken.

This was the most comfortable upgrade process she had ever experienced in her life.

"Gudong, Gudong." The experience jar is overflowing, and she has reached level six.

"Gudong, Gudong." The experience jar is overflowing again, and her Speed ​​Force Defense Specialty is level 7!

"Gudong, Gudong." The experience jar continues to rise, and sudden changes occur, "Boom~~"

On the treadmill track, a gray-white space door suddenly opened.

"Aww~~~" The miserable wind roared out, the voltage in the laboratory began to become unstable, and the lights flickered.

"Bah——" The Ion Demon braked suddenly and stopped in front of the space door instead of rushing directly into the door.

Barry's treadmill is a 200-meter-diameter ring built in a tunnel with a metal structure, somewhat like a circular particle accelerator.

The Ion Demon was running on the circular track, and Harley was receiving the Speed ​​Force on the experimental bench next to it.

The gray-white space door suddenly appeared in the center of the runway.

"What is this?" Just as Ion Demon asked, a smoky black ghost came out from the other side.

"No, it's a time ghost." Barry's expression changed drastically, "Ion Demon, run quickly, don't let it catch you."

"Ouch~~~" The smoky ghost raised the scythe so fast that Harley almost failed to catch it when she activated the seventh-level Speed ​​Force defense feat.

"Swan, your time is over, come with me!"

It came to the Ion Demon almost instantly, and cut its neck with the scythe.

"Whoosh!" The Ion Demon's reaction was a bit slow, but he still narrowly avoided the sickle at the last moment.

"Run, run quickly, you can only get rid of it if you are faster than it." Barry shouted anxiously.

The Ion Demon began to run around the treadmill tunnel, followed closely by the Time Ghost, and the distance between the two parties was visibly shortened.

"Barry, take me over there." Harley jumped off the chair and spoke mentally.

"Where to go?"

"Go after the time ghost, I can deal with it." Harley said.

Barry took her arm, and Harley's eyes were dazzled as she was wrapped in a ball of golden and red lightning.

Within the Speed ​​Force, time seems to slow down infinitely.

Barry followed her behind the Time Ghost, but didn't get close.

"We can't get too close. The time ghost will take away all time when it touches any living person." He explained.

"Have you encountered this thing before?" Harley stared at the ghost in front of her, frowning slightly. It looked like a black smoke at first, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be the "Flash" as well.

Wearing a speedster's uniform, the uniform is tattered and the body is rotting.

"Speeds often touch the timeline when running at full strength, and then they may attract the attention of time ghosts. They seem to come from the self-protection mechanism of the law of time. They are completely impossible to kill and can only-"

A transparent air shield suddenly appeared between the ion demon and the time ghost.

It's Harley's defensive gold film.

At this time, their distance was close to 20 meters.

The force field of the Mother River of Time is opened together with the rest of the defensive specialties, covering the surface of the golden film.

"Bang~~~" The ghost of time was like a blackboard eraser covered in chalk dust, slamming against the transparent bulletproof glass wall. Smoke and dust filled the air, and the blackboard eraser fell to the ground.

The "chalk dust" dispersed by the Time Ghost explosion is all the power of time with the aura of the Speed ​​Force.

What fell to the ground was a mutilated corpse.

The corpse seemed unable to survive in the material world for a long time. After rolling on the ground twice, it disintegrated and disappeared.

Harley only used a defensive gold film to wrap a ball of gray-white weird magic source mixed with time and the speed force.

Although there is only one ball, it contains almost 3 points of energy!

Equivalent to the combined magic power of three demon dukes.

Harley calmly put away the golden film, digesting and absorbing the source inside. The speed force was used to improve defense expertise, and the remaining time magic was turned into part of the power of blood.

"Oh my God!" Barry recovered from the shock and said in disbelief: "You actually killed it so easily?!"

"It was unlucky. It hit the wall and fell to death." Harley said.

Barry swallowed, "Sisko and I have been studying for a long time, and we only invented a 'space-time shock bomb' that can temporarily paralyze its body.

When it is unable to move, take it into the river of time and throw it at a random point in time so that it loses its direction."

Harley smiled proudly in her heart. Her defensive force field was just perfect to restrain it. When it hit the 114-level defensive gold film at a speed ten times faster than the speed of light, it was equivalent to her beating it with a light-speed fist. Only if it didn't break into pieces. There is a ghost.

"Let's continue," she said.

"Do you want to continue?" Sisko came over and said excitedly: "It's not an accident that we encountered the time ghost. The reverse lightning extracted too much speed force from the wall of speed force, which interfered with the structure of time and space and also affected the wall of speed force. It is stable, so it activates the protection mechanism within the Speed ​​Force Wall.

The time ghost is not a real ghost, it is probably the manifestation of the law of time.

It is to the Wall of Speed ​​Force what white blood cells are to our body's immune system. "

"You saw it just now, I only used one move to easily solve it." Harley said.

“But the appearance of the Time Ghost is an omen and a warning, warning us that we cannot continue to extract the Speed ​​Force.

The wall of divine speed is Wan Tianyi's 'wall'.

If there is a problem with it, countless multiverses within the Wan Tian Yi may malfunction. Any malfunction may be related to the life or death of hundreds of millions of people. We cannot take risks. "Sisko said seriously.

"Barry, your running can create the Speed ​​Force, right?" Harley turned her head and looked at the track of the cosmic treadmill, "There happens to be two tracks here, one positive and one reverse. You run clockwise to create the Speed ​​Force for the multiverse. The Reverse-Flash runs in reverse, drawing the Speed ​​Force from the Wall of Speed ​​Force.

By entering and exiting in this way and achieving a balance, you can 100% ensure that the wall of the Speed ​​Force is as stable as a rock. "

"Uh, this" Barry and Cisco were stunned, "Isn't this unnecessary?"

Harley said: "You are worried that the wall of the speed force will collapse. Although it seems unnecessary to do this now, once the in and out of the speed force is balanced, the wall of the speed force will be safe and sound."

"Why not let Barry run? Just give you the speed force he ran out without disturbing the wall of speed force." Sisko said.

Harley hesitated for a moment and explained: "All miracles have a price. The time ghost point just now was looking for Reverse Flash. It means that after I got those batches of the Speed ​​Force, it was Reverse Flash who paid the price.

If I get the Speed ​​Force from Barry, Barry will pay the price.

Now Barry provides the Speed ​​Force for the Speed ​​Force Wall, with both merit and demerit.

The cost of my continued acquisition of the Speed ​​Force cannot be borne by him. "

"Barry created the Speed ​​Force himself, and he has to pay a price for giving it to you? Isn't the process of creating the Speed ​​Force himself the price?" Sisko asked doubtfully.

"Are you sure Barry created the Speed ​​Force out of thin air?" Harley asked.

"Is not it?"

Harley stared at Barry for a while and said: "If the Speed ​​Force was completely created by you, it means that the Speed ​​Force is a new 'wild magic' that had no owner before, and the current owner is you.

But I can be 100% sure that the Speed ​​Force is definitely not wild magic.

It is one of the fundamental forces of the universe. It has existed since the birth of the universe, not even before the birth of the universe.

It was brought into this universe as a seed by the Mother of Creation. "

Barry looked confused, "So, how did I create it?"

"I can think of three possibilities." Harley raised a finger, "Without even knowing it, you connected to an ancient ruins of the Speed ​​Force Wall.

Brick walls can be reduced to rubble in time, and so can walls of the Speed ​​Force.

After all, how many times has our multiverse been restarted?

Now, you are extracting the old Speed ​​Force from the ruins and transforming it into the new Speed ​​Force. "

She raised a second finger and said, "The second possibility is that you are the Speed ​​Force itself."

"Ah, I'm a living person, how can I be the Speed ​​Force?!" Barry shouted unbearably.

"The fat head is the willpower, and the spirit of existence is the light of life. If they are reincarnated, they still should not have the essence."

"But I feel that I am flesh and blood and a serious person. If I hadn't been struck by lightning, I would have always been an ordinary person." Barry said.

"There are not one trillion but hundreds of billions of people in the universe who have been struck by lightning, so you are the only one who became the Flash." Harley said disapprovingly.

Barry stopped talking.

Sisko asked: "What about the third possibility?"

"The multiverse has restarted, the universe's law system has evolved to version 2.0, the Speed ​​Force will also be updated accordingly, and Barry has received this destiny.

The old Speed ​​Force was transformed by his running and became the new Speed ​​Force that conforms to the 2.0 version of the laws of the universe. " Harley said.

Cisco said thoughtfully: "Barry, I think what Harley said makes sense, and the truth may lie in these three possibilities.

At least we can be sure that the Speed ​​Force you created is not a tree without roots or water without a source. "

"If Harley is right, doesn't it mean that Reverse Flash will bear the full price?" An unbearable look flashed across Barry's face, "How about I do it? Dr. Swann is guilty, but not that much."

Harley sighed inwardly, this was the reason for her hesitation just now.

If they don't tell them the reasons, they will first have doubts in their minds, and then the doubts will turn into grudges.

Once the reasons are stated, the superhero's thoughts will make them hesitant and pretentious.

"With my protection, you don't have to worry." She said confidently.

"But."

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, at least nothing will happen to him now. If you want to worry about him, you have to wait for real harm to come." Harley said impatiently.

——And the Paradise Loan has been obtained and entered into the account, and we have no way out.

She also said spiritually.

"Okay." Barry compromised.

Sisko is right, stealing the Speed ​​Force from the Speed ​​Force Wall will indeed trigger some kind of protective mechanism.

Next, while Harley was upgrading her defense expertise from level 7 to level 8, she encountered three more waves of time ghosts.

There was one ghost in the first wave, three in the second wave, five in the third wave, and a group of eighteen in the fourth wave.

The strong aura of the law of time exuded by the ghost group almost pulled the laboratory into the gap between the wall of the speed force and the mother river of time.

As early as Harley activated her fifth specialty - Defense of the Connection Power, her own timeline was rock-solid and could not be changed by external forces. Later, she even upgraded the Mother River Defense specialty to level 9, brought by the ghost of time. The distortion of time and space has no use to her.

Instead, after absorbing the origin of their laws, her bloodline power increased by more than eighty points.

This is equivalent to more than eighty demon dukes!

In just one or two hours, there was such a rich harvest, but Harley was not happy about it. The more and more time ghosts came, the more frequent they were, indicating that the Speed ​​Wall could no longer tolerate this kind of "magic" theft.

What will happen to her next?

How much time does she have left?

But her Speed ​​Force Defense Specialty is only at level 8. Level 8 to level 9 is the real mana-consuming powerhouse.

"Buzz~~" Whatever comes to mind, another space door opens on the runway of the cosmic treadmill, and billowing black smoke pours out from inside, filling most of the laboratory in an instant.

Within the scope enveloped by black smoke, even the metal instruments were dim and discolored, with mottled and decaying rust stains on their surfaces.

The bonsai flowers and plants placed on the counter and in the corners by the "Flash Logistics Team" withered into ashes in an instant.

“Uh ah ah ah~~~”

Sisko, Catherine and other researchers had visibly lost their skin and shriveled up their muscles, almost turning into corpses in an instant.

Harley hurriedly activated the defensive force field, opened her mouth, and a yellow light ribbon shot out from her throat, rolling up several people in the room and swallowing them into the stomach dimension.

"Swan, the balance of the Speed ​​Force you can use has long been exhausted. You have reached the end of your life. Come with me."

As a cruel and cold hoarse voice came, a black figure slowly walked out of the space door.

Its speed was so fast that even with Harley's level 8 Speed ​​Force defense expertise, she could only vaguely see a black phantom, unable to see its face clearly, and her body could not keep up with its movements at all.

But when the expertise reaches level eight, it is already at the single universe level.

Harley's physical body reacts slowly, but her soul's reaction speed increases with her dynamic vision, and she can at least "turn thoughts."

As soon as she thought, a defensive gold film shield blocked the black shadow.

The black shadow created a human-shaped dent on the surface of the gold film. It transformed from its original human shape into a liquid torrent, washing away the defensive gold film from every corner.

At this time, the gold film has formed an ellipsoid, wrapping it inside.

"Crashing~~~Gudong Gudong~~~" The black liquid in the gold film ellipsoid is impacting everywhere, but it is still difficult to break free. It begins to turn into black "water vapor" like boiling water, filling the entire space, and is still expanding violently. .

This process is very simple to describe, but in fact the internal mechanism is extremely complex.

It seems that the black shadow has turned into liquid, but in fact it is too fast, vibrating at high frequencies, and attacks from all angles, destroying the structure of time and space around it.

"Finely broken" space-time fragments like grains of sand sway together and look like a ball of liquid.

It later turned into "black water vapor" because the time and space within the defensive golden film was completely destroyed, leaving no space or time. In addition, the black shadow was extremely fast and attacked the golden film with extremely high frequency. Look, it's like a cloud of smoke.

"Gudong Gudong." Harry's forehead was sweating and she gritted her teeth and persisted. The level experience jar deep in her sea of ​​consciousness continued to bubble.

Level 114 10%, Level 114 11%, Level 114 12%

Just looking at the trend of increasing experience, although Harley didn't know what the shadow was, she was 100% sure that it was a "big guy"!

"BOOOM!"

With a muffled sound, the ellipsoidal gold film wrapping the black shadow exploded into several pieces like a balloon caught on fire.

The black shadow glanced at Harley with dead and rotten eyes, and continued to pounce on the ion demon, "Swan, follow me, your time is over."

"Harry, what kind of monster is this? It feels more terrifying than the Black Death Emperor. It has a creepy feeling."

Within a hundredth of a second of Harley using the golden film to trap the shadow, Ion Demon and Barry were already at her side.

"It's Black Lightning." Barry swallowed and said with difficulty: "I have encountered it several times, and every time it appears, it will definitely take away a speedster.

No exceptions, no mistakes.

I watched helplessly as it pulled several powerful speedsters into the Speed ​​Force space. They struggled, they screamed, they were helpless and miserable.

Today's Black Lightning is noticeably more powerful as I find I can't keep up with its speed.

Simply put, I can't outrun it. "

"Swan, follow me!"

Before he finished speaking, the black shadow had already arrived in front of the Ion Demon. His withered and black right hand was placed on the Ion Demon's shoulder, and the Ion Demon was like a wooden stake, without any resistance or in other words, completely unresponsive.

But Harley reacted in time, and a layer of defensive gold film protected herself and the ion demon.

"Useless struggle." The black shadow stretched out his hand and said, "Boo!"

The defensive golden film was instantly broken.

Of course, this moment is not short for the speedster.

Black lightning's high-frequency concussion attack could exceed the speed of light and hit the gold film hundreds of millions of times.

However, the black lightning is indeed more calm than before. When it attacked the golden film just now, it was mainly using speed force lightning, but now it is replaced by a purely physical impact.

Apparently it found a "flaw" in the gold film.

"Whoosh~~" The next moment, Black Lightning and the Ion Demon disappeared on the treadmill.

Barry blinked and looked around. Except for himself, there was no one else in the laboratory.

"Harley. She just grabbed Black Lightning's neck. Shit, Harley, are you crazy?!" He was stunned for a moment, cursed, and rushed into the wall of speed.
