Grodd is cautious.
Although it seems that he has used mental shocks on The Flash many times, he has never dared to invade anyone's mind, lest he be accidentally contaminated.
The essence of this behavior is like throwing stones at the car outside the car. No matter what monsters are inside the car, it is impossible to hurt the person throwing the stones outside.
However, the increasing Speed Force in his body and the fact that The Flash seemed to actively absorb the Speed Force under his control made him gradually relax his vigilance.
The Flash originally had a close relationship with the Speed Force. Now he has absorbed the Speed Force collected by the lightning rod I made, and I am also absorbing it. It is equivalent to us drinking from the same Speed Force "water source". The Speed Force channels my psychic abilities, which greatly enhances my control over him.
At this time, I used this link to invade his brain. No matter whether I succeeded or failed, I could escape unscathed after being accelerated by the Speed Force, right?
There is no problem with the logic, and the thinking is very reasonable. He even grasps extremely accurately the psychology of the Flash who is eager to seize the Speed Force and may take the initiative to come to the "water source" to "dine".
The only problem is...you made the right choice to get into the car, but the wrong goal.
When Grodd tries to get into Batman's mind, it's like he's walking into a giant silver snap—
In fact, for Grodd, even though Reverse Flash told him a lot, the gorilla who had never tasted laughing gas actually had no clear understanding of what "Gotham's local flavor" was.
In his opinion, this is nothing more than another mental barrier, just like the exclusive defense measures against telepathy he had seen in Orangutan City, so this old experience also caused Grodd to suffer at that moment. There was a moment of misjudgment.
People always judge new situations through inherent experience, even orangutans do the same:
We originally thought that when we came in, we were going to have a real fight with live ammunition, and we were facing guards wearing body armor, so we prepared body armor and Thomson in advance.
When I came in, I saw that it was indeed a guard, but he was naked and had aphrodisiac in the air. He was mainly using the orangutan charm technique. He was not prepared for such an eye-catching scene at all. Even if you quit, your heart will be dirty, your eyes will be dirty, and you will have taken drugs——
This is Grodd's current state.
Well, that's the state of The Flash too.
Tick tock.
A drop of saliva dripped from the corner of his raised mouth, and Barry wiped it away.
"he he he he he!"
Barry remembers that he once wanted to be the most relatable superhero, huh? The smile he looks like now... seems like there's nothing wrong with him?
The Flash felt happy at the thought.
Great! I am a good neighbor in Midtown. I use my supersonic speed to bring smiles to others every day. I am the most friendly superhero!
"Hahaha, hehehehahaha!"
The logical chain was established, and the cause and effect were clear. He laughed in a low voice in a reasonable and legal manner, and then he was immediately frightened and stopped talking.
It’s scary, man.
This is the aftermath of Chen Tao sharing the Joker's crazy thoughts with them through nanobots. Barry knew that Batman had to do that, otherwise Grodd, whose mind was accelerated by the Speed Force, would make everyone his in just half a second. Golem, like the sluggish Captain Cold and Heatwave before him.
The two of them were blocking him below with the turtle man just now, but at this time they were also frozen due to the speed force drained out of the middle city. Only the turtle man who mastered the stagnation force was not affected and could still participate on the rooftop. battle, but Barry guessed that Grodd would not let go of the powerful fighting power of two rogue gang members. He would definitely...
Hey, thinking of the turtle man, where did the turtle man go?
Barry blinked. In fact, he had already felt a little strange. When he and the turtle man were fighting just now, he felt that the other party seemed to be a little absent-minded, and he was not interested in the speed force "water source" generated by the "lightning rod" of Orangutan City technology. "Lack of interest.
This is very strange and abnormal. Logically speaking, a villain like Turtle Man should have no less desire for the Speed Force than Gorilla Grodd, but from beginning to end, he seems to be in a state of mind.
When fighting him below, he didn't use his full strength. After the battlefield moved to the rooftop, he just broke through and intercepted him. At this time, he simply ran away without knowing where he was.
Barry thought seriously. He had not used his brain for a long time, which had been accelerated by the speed force.
What conspiracy does the turtle man have?
Does Batman know about this?
He should--
Click click click...
But Flash's thought process was interrupted by Captain Cold's cold blast.
These two gang members who had been deeply controlled by Grodd also appeared on the rooftop battlefield like the turtle men at some unknown time.
The Flash stared at the golden Speed Force wrapped around them, and secretly breathed out. He knew that Grodd would not give up these two fighting powers. He should have done something to the ice and fire combination long ago to make them unaffected by the Speed Force storm. measures.
"Hehe, bat..." When Barry turned around and wanted to speak, he laughed twice involuntarily, and then quickly covered his mouth:
"Are you important?"
He spoke very quickly: "I may have to be delayed by them for a while."
Barry's eyes flashed across Chen Tao. At this time, Reverse Lightning was grabbing Gorilla Grodd's head with both hands, and the Speed Force was constantly wrapped around his hands.
He is using a high-end speed force technique that Barry does not understand to help guide Gorilla Grodd, who has already been imbued with enough speed power, to guide these speed powers into his brain, thereby accelerating the elimination of his mind. "Laughter Pollution" in.
However, faced with this situation where "the enemy is injecting medicine to heal himself", Batman did not attack immediately. He stood there quietly, like a silent statue, as if he had been stunned in battle.
But Barry knows that things are not as he sees them, even though they have not been in contact for long, well, but Barry knows that Batman is a...
A treacherous good guy.
He is always planning something that he is not aware of. Barry guesses that he is definitely not idle at the moment, and must be doing something that neither he nor the enemy has discovered.
But there was one more thing he had to remind Batman.
"Never destroy the lightning rod directly!" Barry said loudly while fighting with his old friend Captain Cold: "Batman, maybe this is complicated to explain, but that machine must be shut down in a normal way."
"That machine is essentially like a giant vacuum cleaner, constantly blowing the wind, thereby draining the entire Speed Force of Midtown and creating a Speed Force storm, but it is also the limiter of the Speed Force storm."
"Sisko told me that this machine is like controlled nuclear fusion. It is as if there is a non-existent speedster running around the entire storm, using the Speed Force to limit it, and then stealing the Speed Force from the storm. Maintain the storm at a speed that continuously pumps out the entire Midtown, but at the same time, it can 'supply water' like a water source."
With a bang, the heat wave created a huge explosion next to Barry. Barry jumped up, and then created a hurricane with his hands, blowing away Captain Cold who followed the attack.
"But if the limiter is suddenly broken and the Speed Force storm loses its restraints, it will begin to expand recklessly, and the speed will soon be enough to cover Central City, and then Keystone City..."
"It's only a matter of time before the entire world is threatened."
Barry repeated: "Never, never destroy this machine, or—"
Otherwise, he will be like the Red Death of the Dark Multiverse, watching helplessly as an out-of-control Speed Force storm destroys his world. Chen Tao thought.
Then he answered the Flash:
"I see."
The next moment, he was a little distracted and was knocked upside down. It was the telekinesis of Gorilla Grodd.
As time goes by, Gorilla Grodd continues to absorb the Speed Force instilled in his body. Under the acceleration of the Speed Force, the brain's psychic abilities and telekinesis also increase.
"Thanks, Swan, that helped a lot."
The gorilla that lost the smile on his face regained his serious expression. Then, he avoided Chen Tao's hot sight with a reaction speed that exceeded the normal limit, and then once again used invisible telekinesis to bombard the suspended On Chen Tao's body in mid-air.
"thank you."
He thanked Reverse-Flash again.
"It's nothing, you just need to buy time."
Chen Tao heard Reverse Flash tell him: "Although Batman can temporarily control the power of Kryptonians through unknown means, this power is far inferior to that of real Kryptonians, and it is also time-limited. "
He did not shy away from the fact that Chen Tao was floating next to them at this moment.
"Reverse-Flash Swann will definitely betray you." Reverse-Flash heard Batman say: "Any cooperation with Reverse-Flash is to seek skin from a tiger."
Reverse Flash chuckled in his heart. He didn't care about this kind of evaluation, or in other words, this kind of evaluation was a compliment to him.
"Don't try to alienate me from my allies." Gorilla Grodd said angrily. His face seemed to be full of complete trust in the reverse lightning. Several energy guns that emitted kryptonite light were under his control. , rose from several corners of the rooftop, focused their fire on Chen Tao, who had synchronized the extremely fast bullets, and knocked the opponent upside down:
"Do you think my allies told me the key information that you can temporarily transform into a Kryptonian, but I won't respond accordingly?"
He yelled: "I was prepared!"
"Kryptonite energy gun produced by the military?" Chen Tao was rubbed by the kryptonite light and couldn't help complaining: "They can actually appear here. It's as easy as being bought from a convenience store."
"You were right, Reverse-Flash, this does have an effect on Batman."
As Grodd said this, he took one directly from a raised automatic aiming machine next to him and pointed it at Chen Tao.
"It's not that easy to hide from!"
He fired directly, then transformed into a black afterimage with the blessing of super speed, ran to another kryptonite energy gun, and also manually assisted aiming.
He could obviously mobilize telekinesis to accomplish such auxiliary aiming, but he was too excited and would rather use this more "speed force user" method to achieve the same purpose.
As more and more Speed Force is accumulated in his body, Gorilla Grodd's speed is getting faster and faster. Now his almost teleportation speed is almost the same as that of a real speedster.
Faster! Stronger! More agile! A speed that exceeds the limit of all biological reactions and a jump that breaks countless physical laws!
"The connection to the Speed Force belongs to me..."
Grodd roared in a low voice: "I will become the master of all the Speed Force!"
There are more and more golden lightnings, more and more, entwining around Gorilla Grodd's body, matching the crown on his head, and the look on his face as he returns to the original place after launching the attack, opens his arms, and looks up to the sky, roaring. It makes him look like a head...
Uh, a handsome orangutan?
Perhaps it is difficult for human aesthetics to appreciate how majestic Gorilla Grodd looks at this time.
At the same moment, Reverse Flash did the same thing as Gorilla Grodd.
Beep beep beep——
In an instant, countless green rays of light almost formed a net in the air. No matter how fast Batman was, he would not be able to dodge the volleys of so many energy guns.
But with a flash of silver particles, Bizarro Batman's gray, disfigured, ugly face appeared in front of Grodd and Reverse Flash.
Chen Tao opened his arms directly and let the green kryptonite energy gun hit his chest without even trying to dodge.
"..."
Gorilla Grodd suddenly felt that he looked a little stupid just now.
"Bizzaro loves (hates) kryptonite guns."
Chen Tao breathed flames, and with the power of Gorilla Grodd's telekinesis, he forcibly melted the kryptonite energy guns next to him into a pool of molten iron. The kryptonite energy shot out actually strengthened Bizarre in a short time. Luo, making it easier for him to break through Gorilla Grodd's shield.
Chen Tao said: "Grudd, you should always get close to (prevent) this guy next to you."
Frankly speaking, he didn't like Synchronic Bizarro. Being forced to speak ironically and having a negative buff that lowered his IQ by 50% seriously interfered with his brain.
Boom boom boom!
As several kryptonite energy guns were destroyed, Chen Tao also hurriedly switched back to the Broken Bat. He failed to destroy them all. If he wanted to destroy all the energy guns with Grodd, the battle would become a tug-of-war.
Because the more energy guns he destroys, the less there are left - it seems like nonsense, but for Grodd, the fewer energy guns means the fewer targets his telekinesis needs to protect, It also means that the telekinetic shield on the protected energy gun is thicker and more difficult to break.
The time that Chen Tao has to synchronize with Bizarro Batman is limited. Once things turn into a tug-of-war, who will suffer more?
It's obviously him.
Therefore, the kryptonite gun has never been the focus of the matter. As long as Chen Tao does not use the Kryptonian system, these weapons will not threaten him. Then why does he have to show his face and forcefully synchronize the high-speed bullets to hit him hard?
He could use other off-board means to destroy the kryptonite guns and then synchronize the extremely fast bullets. There was no need to try to forcibly destroy all the guns now and waste precious synchronization time in a tug-of-war.
and……
"Reverse Flash will definitely betray you." Chen Tao repeated to Grodd again: "Cooperating with him is like seeking skin from a tiger."
"Ha, what a joke!" Reverse Flash, who was next to Grodd, immediately said, "Albert Swann is not such a person."
"Ha! Joke!" Gorilla Grodd also said: "This kind of estrangement is really low-level, Bat. Reverse Flash, there is no reason to attack me. Reverse Flash and I cooperate happily, and our alliance is unbreakable - ah Ahhhhh!!!”
Before he finished speaking, his whole body trembled, and countless Speed Force currents were pulled away from his body and converged on the reverse lightning who stabbed him in the back.
Grodd fell to the ground.
"Five minutes after I met you, I wanted to do that," Reverse-Flash said.
A small scepter appeared in his hand, with a lightning symbol on it.
Even though Grodd fell to the ground, there was still more Speed Force flowing from his body to Reverse Flash.
Reverse Flash smiled and said, "You're a good judge of people, Batman."
"..."
Chen Tao was speechless and cursed in a low voice:
"I knew it."
I finally finished it. The night sky at 3 o'clock in the morning is so beautiful.
