Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

"Superman, Barry is gone!"

There was not too long of silence for Luther's death. With Canary's reminder, everyone realized that a bigger trouble had arisen at this moment.

Barry Allen, who was attacked by the Martian Manhunter, was completely out of control at this time.

The self-healing ability brought by the Speed ​​Force comes from the performance of acceleration, which can speed up his own self-healing ability, but it is obvious that the self-healing ability of ordinary creatures cannot resist the control of the anti-life equation at all.

Barry resisted and wailed, but was ultimately controlled by the virus.

Transforming into yellow lightning, he left the Fortress of Solitude at the speed of light and ran towards the Gotham Forest.

Barry Allen, the gentle and kind Flash who was once the last conscience of the Justice League, is dead.

What appeared now was a demon that spread death at the speed of a billion light.

At the moment Canary spoke, Barry had already appeared in Gotham City and instantly infected all the survivors on an entire street.

The biggest disaster has happened.

"I'll stop him!"

Wally the Flash also has super speed in his body. He knows that there are not many people in this world who can catch up with Barry. Even Superman can only be on par with Barry at most. It is very difficult to catch up with and subdue him.

So Wally immediately planned to set out to stop Barry from spreading the virus.

But he had just started running when Superman arrived in front of him at a faster speed and stopped him.

"Wally, wait a minute. Barry has a better control over the speed force than you do. It's too dangerous for you to deal with him. We can't afford the loss of two speedsters being infected."

Hearing this, Wally also stopped, but the problem was still not solved.

"Then who can stop Barry? If there are no restrictions, he can infect all the remaining survivors in less than five minutes, even the Amazon warriors on Paradise Island!"

Wonder Woman did not refute this. She was confident that the Amazons were all powerful warriors, but with Barry's speed, being infected would only take a moment. After all, keeping up with the Speed ​​Force was something only a few people could achieve.

"Of course, I can stop Barry, but..."

Looking at the confusion on Superman's face, everyone knew what Superman was worried about.

Barry's speed is not something that Superman can catch up with easily, he must use all his strength.

But given Barry's physical condition, facing Superman at his full strength, it's obvious what the outcome would be. He would definitely die.

There was no way Superman would show mercy in that situation.

"Superman! It's time."

Diana suddenly said this, and Superman also understood the meaning of her words.

"Yeah, it's time."

Superman nodded. It was time for him to put away his kindness. He had to... kill his former comrade, Barry Allen, with his own hands.

"I'm going!"

With that, Superman flew out of the Fortress of Solitude. Instead of chasing Barry on the ground, he flew straight into space and used his super vision to lock onto the running Barry in space.

On the ground, Barry can use the Speed ​​Force technology to accelerate the objects he touches, so no matter how fast he runs, he will not encounter much air resistance. But it is different for Superman. He needs to use the Speed ​​Force to constantly fight against the air resistance, and even has to pay attention to eliminating the impact of the sonic boom.

Only when he enters the space environment can he truly fly at full speed.

Barry seemed to feel Superman's lock on him. Instead of continuing to infect the survivors, he ran at a faster speed and instantly ran around the earth several times.

He wants to escape from Superman's lock.

Superman did the same, constantly locking onto Barry's position in space, and also began to fly around the earth, also at an increasing speed.

In the end, Superman, who had no obstacles in space, finally surpassed Barry in speed, and seized the moment when Barry had to turn because of the tall building in front of him, and dived towards the ground.

It seems to be the distance from the ground to space, but for Superman, it is only one or two seconds, and the winner is decided between the two.

Superman was like a cannonball falling from the universe, hitting Barry directly and smashing him into pieces.

Barry Allen, the Flash, died, without a trace left.

Superman stopped and just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but the pain he felt suddenly pulled his heart into the abyss.

"how come..."

Looking down, Superman discovered that one of Barry's ribs had pierced a small part of his abdomen. The injury was very minor, but it also meant that Superman's body had been invaded by the virus.

"No, I want to tell everyone!"

Superman didn't hesitate and immediately flew towards the Fortress of Solitude. When he entered the Fortress of Solitude, the wound on his abdomen appeared in front of everyone.

No one yelled or screamed, no one showed disbelief, but everyone's heart sank to the bottom at this moment.

"I'm sorry, guys. I'm... infected."

Little Jonathan and Louise had the biggest reaction. They came up at the same time and hugged the father and husband in front of them.

"I'm sorry, I can't protect you anymore, so I'm leaving. Go with the Ark and don't come back."

After comforting his son and wife, Superman's face had become very bad, but he still told everyone that all the next matters would be left to Diana to decide, and then came to Clark.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I may not be the superman who can bring hope. Wait a moment."

With that, Superman rushed into the depths of the Fortress of Solitude, and reappeared the next moment with a brand new Superman suit in his hands.

"Follow Jonathan and the others and leave. This is a battle suit specially made for you using Kryptonian technology. I never had the chance to give it to you, but now, I finally get what I wanted."

Superman said, stroking Clark's head.

"You don't have to be a superman, just be yourself, you will definitely be better than me..."

Luthor, who understood him, and Superman, who saved him and whom he always admired. In a short period of time, these two important people were going to leave Clark. Clark was already in tears.

Superman knew that he had no time left, and finally gave everyone another hopeful smile.

"Everyone, I believe that you will win the final victory!"

After saying that, Superman turned around without any hesitation and left the Fortress of Solitude.

He soared into the sky, flying towards the depths of the universe without any destination.

When he left the earth, he did not feel pain because of the virus, but shed tears, but he did not hesitate.

"Joe...Louise...must live..."

With every thought, he flew across a galaxy. He tried to get as far away from the planet he loved as possible before his sanity disappeared.

But, it was all in vain. Along with the painful wails and roars in the universe, the Son of Krypton, who brought hope to people and saved the world from disaster, eventually became a slave to the Anti-Life Equation.

When the last bit of reluctance in his eyes disappeared, when he looked back towards the direction of the earth again, all that was left in his eyes was a desire to kill.
