"Be reasonable, Batman. I don't understand why you have such a bad face and send Reverse-Flash to help The Flash, and you take me with you."
Chen Tao and Killer Crocodile were sitting in a stealth plane, and they were traveling at supersonic speed through the blood-red and misty sky of All Living Beings.
The big crocodile said somewhat dullly:
"Don't we already know, that gorilla Groot—"
"It's Grodd." Chen Tao corrected him:
"That's an orangutan, and it's a super psionic being no less powerful than the bald Black who was turned into a zombie by Bane before, not the tree man next door."
"Yes, Grodd." Killer Croc said: "But I still don't understand. Whether it is Turtle Man or Grodd, we already know their existence. Oh, by the way, there is also the one who likes to wear Superman uniforms. , burying his face in the shadows and pretending to be the mastermind behind Scarface - all exposed!"
The big crocodile said: "What are you afraid of? What are you worried about? To be honest, although I have always been very confident in my IQ, I still admit that you are a little smarter than me."
He activated his ability with one hand and grabbed the instrument that could see the material plane in the red of all living things that was fixed on the console. The other arm covered with scales hooked on Chen Tao's seat and used his hand to Or the claws patted Batman's seat:
"Even I can think of several ways to make the gorilla and the turtle miserable. Do you have any ideas?"
He said: "Reverse Flash, The Flash, and you who can turn into a Kryptonian with red light shooting out of your eyes, plus me and the goons who can be called at any time."
"Nightwing is my Robin, not a thug."
Killer Croc in Robin's uniform gives the bull's eye.
"I'm your Robin! I'm going to get angry if you say that."
"..."
Chen Tao was speechless.
"All in all, I think there is no suspense in this battle at all. Are there any other key factors that can affect the outcome? A gang of rogues?"
Chen Tao sighed.
"Use your brain, Waylon." He pretended to teach Robin: "What has been overlooked?"
"What?"
The crocodile stared with big flashing eyes.
Chen Tao sighed again.
"Who brought us to Elsa's office?"
"Reverse Flash."
"Recall the situation, Waylon."
"Oh, okay." Killer Croc replied honestly: "He said he found the stronghold of the Marton family, and then we went directly from the Red of All Living Things. We originally wanted to save Barry's girlfriend Patty, Who would have known that she wasn’t locked up there at all, but accidentally discovered Gorilla Grodd and Turtle Man—”
"This is where the problem lies."
Chen Tao said: "It went very smoothly."
"?"
"The brave men sneaked into the Demon King's lair, and happened to hear the evil Demon King's plan clearly? No sooner or later, at this moment, at this very moment, and even the mastermind behind the scenes was discovered by me at once?"
Chen Tao said: "Everything is too deliberate. It's so cliché. It makes me want to laugh."
"But we have seen it with our own eyes..."
"What you saw is a fact, but not the truth, Waylon. All this must be the conspiracy of Reverse Flash. If I had any trust in him before, I no longer trust him at all."
Killer Croc opened his mouth, feeling a little hard to explain: "Just because Reverse Flash took us there? Why, you told me the origin of Reverse Flash last time. Didn't you already reach a cooperation with him and asked Barry to send him back? His own time? Didn’t you tell me that his purpose was to go home?”
"To be precise, Reverse Flash's purpose was to replace The Flash. When he found out that he couldn't do it, his purpose became to torture The Flash."
"I'm already a little dizzy," Killer Croc said.
"When he discovered again that this goal could not be achieved, he finally retreated to the next best thing and decided to leave the present and return to his own time."
Chen Tao paused and said:
"So you understand what this means?"
"What does it mean?"
"It means that Reverse-Flash will always act irrationally because of the hatred in his heart."
Chen Tao answered him.
"No one knows Reverse-Flash better than me. What he wants is for Barry to know that he is the murderer of his mother and hate him so much that he still has to send him back to the future. This makes him climax.
A safe plan to return home? Even if he convinces himself to accept it for a moment, the darkness and hatred in his heart will still drive him to involuntarily destroy the plan. "
"I have long thought that Swann is not such a stable person, but I didn't expect that he would not stop even for such a moment."
Chen Tao narrowed his eyes: "Reverse Lightning is a speedster. I have no idea what he did behind my back. There is nothing more dangerous than this.
Swann's deliberate attempt to expose Gorilla Grodd, Turtle Man, and the mastermind behind them all to our eyes must be a cover-up for his deeper purpose. I had to add another layer of insurance to my plan. "
"Ah, I think..."
Chen Tao no longer paid attention to Killer Crocodile. From the other party's perspective, his inference seemed to be completely paranoid and insane, but only Chen Tao knew that this was by no means groundless.
Reverse Flash's skills seem to be very confusing. If he hadn't read the comics, he might have been distracted at this moment and was happily formulating a plan to deal with the gorilla and turtle.
But unfortunately, he had seen it. This was an error that Reverse Flash had not expected, and it would naturally lead to completely different results. He knew very well who Reverse Flash was. People's behavior is driven by their character and they cannot go against their instincts.
"Here we are."
Chen Tao glanced at the instrument, then controlled the plane to land on the red desert.
He and Killer Croc jump out of the driver's seat and Killer Croc opens the portal.
"Where is this?"
he asked.
"Midtown Hospital."
Chen Tao answered him: "Another soul figure in the Rogue Gang, Captain Cold's sister, Mirror Master's girlfriend, Golden Glider, Lisa Snart."
Chen Tao said: "Her physical body is recovering here."
"Physical body?"
Chen Tao did not explain to Killer Croc, but continued: "No matter what conspiracy Reverse Flash has, what he wants to do to The Flash..."
He and Killer Croc stepped out of the portal and stood at the entrance of Midtown Hospital.
"As The Flash's number one fan, how can I not come to save their little red? Of course, I also have the bargaining chip that the Rogue Gang wants. You know..."
Chen Tao said.
"Captain Cold needs to eat too. And Golden Glider obviously does too."
He said meaningfully.
…
…
…
Let's turn the time back to shortly after the first meeting between Reverse Flash and Chen Tao. At this time, the Flash, Chen Tao and Killer Crocodile were in the Void Bar, looking for the whereabouts of the Weather Wizard from the magician's mouth.
And Reverse Flash is alone, doing...
run.
I'm Albert Swann, the Reverse-Flash.
No one knows The Flash better than me.
No one knows how hard I worked to become The Flash.
Ever since I traveled through time and was shocked to discover that the historical enemy of The Flash [Reverse-Flash] was me in a museum in the 21st century, I have never given up trying to replace him.
How I wished The Flash would disappear.
I once traveled back in time to the night when Barry Allen became The Flash, trying to stand in front of him and take his place in being struck by the lightning that gave him the Speed Force.
I failed.
When I tried to fill in for The Flash, I was nearly eliminated from objective existence.
The lightning passed through me as if I were just a phantom, an insignificant obstacle, mocking me and mocking my powerlessness.
I finally discovered a paradox.
The first thing I needed to become the Reverse-Flash: Barry had to be there first, he had to be the Flash...and then I would become the Reverse-Flash!
The person I hate most!
Someone I would pay anything to kill!
...must live or I will die.
I'm going crazy.
I want revenge on The Flash, I want to make him suffer.
Research tells us that childhood is an important time in life that determines character, and it is also the most vulnerable time. Many personality traits mature in adolescence and influence a person's life.
I'm going to ruin The Flash's life, and that's what I'm going to do.
I once erased Barry Allen's good friend "Dougie" from the timeline.
It's great, Barry existed and I still exist, but Barry Allen had a lonely childhood and I ruined his childhood and made him miserable.
This feeling is addictive to me.
So I murdered Barry's mother, just like the history in the museum. Anyway, like Dougie, it doesn't affect Barry becoming the Flash, I just want him to be miserable.
I was wrong, so wrong.
I wiped out The Flash, which almost wiped myself out.
First, my imperfect connection to the Speed Force nearly collapsed, and I found myself trapped in this primitive era.
Then, as the future was solidified like cement, I once again felt the sense of imminent death that was about to be erased from the objective reality.
This scares me.
What happens next? Ha ha ha ha! Once I had this thought in my head, "I have to train Barry and make him the Flash," the feeling of being wiped out stopped and the timeline stabilized again.
How ironic.
God knows how many times I looked at Barry and wanted to stab him in the heart! But countless times when I plan to take action like that, the feeling of being erased reminds me:
Once you really do it, you will die too!
How ironic, how ironic! ! !
I gave up in the most painful way. In the end, I couldn't change anything. I could never replace him and could only be forced to create him with my own hands.
I can only hold my nose once again, become a part of the legend of The Flash, and then return to the future where The Flash still exists.
I have to do it. if not? Should we continue to live in this primitive era? Every day I live here, every day I see The Flash being loved by everyone, is a great torture for me.
I almost resigned myself to my fate.
almost.
That's what I thought until Batman found me.
Reverse Flash Albert Swann held his head and slowly squatted on the ground.
Countless new memories kept pouring out in his mind. The future, present, and past were undergoing unprecedented drastic changes.
He saw the Flash wailing, his body wrapped with the Speed Force and Stasis Force disappearing into ashes in the air.
He saw "Albord Swann" wearing the Flash uniform, standing in front of a tombstone, with the inscription reading:
Dedicated to the Forever Flash who died fighting to protect the world from Darkseid. He is worthy of the title of The Flash, he is a true hero, and his name is immortal.
He saw a newspaper that read: Two weeks after The Flash died on the spot in front of the whole world, a new Flash appeared... Is he still the same Flash? Batman claims...
He saw himself in the 25th century looking at the statue of Batman with reverence...
An idea pops up in Reverse-Flash's mind. He knows that this behavior will definitely lead to the death of The Flash, but you know what's interesting?
"Hahaha, hahaha..." Reverse Lightning's eyes widened, veins popped up on his face, countless bloodshot eyes almost burst out, and violent ecstasy washed over his heart like a surging tsunami.
Because he was ecstatic to discover that the moment he came up with this idea and decided to put it into practice, he did not feel the familiar "sense of imminent erasure".
And this means...
Barry Allen must die! ! !
Reverse Flash laughed wildly:
And I, Albert Swann, will put on the suit of The Flash and continue his legend! ! !
…
…
…
Then... let's turn the time back to the present.
Reverse-Flash avoided Batman and Killer Croc and walked to a secluded area.
He opened the communication.
A man with half of his body made of machinery appeared on the other end of the communication. On his chest was painted the exclusive S logo of the Al family. This logo was so authentic, and the angle of the S deviation was so correct that even Superman came to look at it. It will also feel no different from the clothes he wears.
It's just...as if a real Al family member had drawn it for him.
He is the mechanical superman, Hank Henshaw.
After the destruction of the spaceship, a cosmic ray permanently changed him, turning him into some kind of immortal mechanical life.
Darkseid of Apokolips discovered him and gave him a body, making him a minion of Apokolips.
"I did as you asked."
Mechanical Superman's voice is as quiet as a real machine.
"I betrayed both Turtles and Grodd to you, remember your promise, kill the Flash, Reverse-Flash."
"Otherwise you know the consequences," he said.
"Of course, Sir." Reverse-Flash said, "But is it really normal for you to directly expose yourself to Batman's vision?"
He said: "I originally thought you would pretend to be Batman's friend and then attack Gore at a critical moment, instead of telling Batman directly that you are not a good person."
Reverse Lightning touched his chin. The other party's behavior was very strange, as if he was hiding something.
"This has nothing to do with you."
Reverse-Flash blinked. This really has nothing to do with him, he just needs to make sure the Flash...
So he simply gave up discussing the issue.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, Batman trusts me and everything is under control."
He said: "The civil war between the rogue gang will be the prelude to the death of The Flash!"
This is not the time.
Reverse Flash thought silently in his heart.
"Stupid guys."
