Volume 4: The Last Day Chapter 83: Pass it on, Mason Cooper is a super fast guy!
"I have never come into contact with the Speed Force before, but from your explanation it seems to be a high-dimensional energy. And now you plan to use this medieval witch method to allow you to temporarily obtain this power?"
In the sophisticated laboratory of the Ark of the Ark, Lai Tu, who was chosen by Mason as his assistant, looked at the various bottles and jars that Mason took out with an incredible look.
This young wise man complained:
"Also, you just told me that you are an alchemist. Is this true? I feel like my rock-hard scientific values have been terribly challenged."
"bite"
Faced with this question, Mason took out a light golden potion and flicked it in his hand. He glanced at Lai Tu and said:
“This thing can turn me into a superhuman in an instant. In that form, if I wanted, I could destroy Paradise Island or Atlantis in a few hours.
Regardless of which world the scientific theories belong to, they all follow the doctrine of "agnosticism". No matter how outrageous the undiscovered truths sound, they should be considered possible.
If you think that alchemy cannot solve the mysteries of time and light, then I can only say that you are not a true scientist at all.
Where is your spirit of research and exploration?
Okay, we can discuss this later. Now, help me filter this blood with the Speed Force sample at least fourteen times ."
He took out the Hufflepuff cup and placed it on the table, then said to the busy Leibald:
"Then I put the extract in a gold cup to purify it. I need it to enhance the main ingredients of the product."
"You plan to extract Barry Allen's DNA module?"
Luther asked back:
"Do you think the unknown power of Speed Force is related to Barry's genes? Like a lock and key?"
"No, Barry Allen can obtain the speed force not because of his special DNA, but because his name is 'Barry Allen'. The speed force is a very idealistic energy.
It's not just copying genes that will get me recognized."
Mason picked up the high-purity alchemical solution that was previously used to prepare the Superman enhancer for secondary processing. While he was busy working at full speed, he explained his ideas to Luthor.
He said:
“I don’t expect to be granted the Speed Force, but fortunately, I don’t really need it under the current circumstances. We just need to enter that special space, so I need to make a special potion or, more figuratively, a container!
Its specifications required that it must be able to store a certain amount of Speed Force through Barry's cells, so that when the Flash opens a rift leading to the depths of time, I can be temporarily wrapped by the Speed Force through it and follow in without interference.
I don’t care whether it works after I go in.”
Mason shook the test tube in front of him and observed the gradual change in color of the liquid. He said:
"I guess I should be able to stay in that time-disordered area for a long time."
"So, you want to make a 'Speed Force Battery'?"
Luther immediately understood Mason's plan, but then questioned:
"It's just that you don't have any theoretical basis to support your overly optimistic conjecture. Why do you think you can stay in the realm that belongs only to speedsters for a long time?
It is hidden because it does not want to be disturbed, and you, Mason, are persona non grata in that area."
“Good question!”
Mason put the test tube down.
He took out a blood-red Philosopher's Stone with great distress. In order to make this super potion with the same difficulty as the Superman Enhancer, the Philosopher's Stone was indispensable as an alchemical medium.
This thing's ability to rewrite reality is central to successful potion-making.
He originally had six fragments in his hand. He had given one as a "reward" to lure the wizards and Doctor Fate's group to kill each other. Now he only had five fragments left.
Each piece can be used three times, and the piece in his hand only has one use left, which will dissipate after this use.
I still have to get the formula of the Philosopher's Stone as soon as possible. This time when I go back, I have to urge the two Elric brothers to work harder. I have completed so many orders for them. Even if I have no credit, I have contributed some hard work, right?
"Remember your notebook and your theory of time alternation, Luther?"
Mason placed the Philosopher's Stone fragment in the test tube in front of him and let it dissolve. As blood-red bubbles rose, he poured the solution into a golden cup to purify it and speed up the refining process.
He said to the doubtful Luther:
"Let me ask you, what were the results of the first twelve changes recorded in your notebook?"
"Destruction, without exception."
Lai Tu looked at the rapidly spinning centrifuge in front of him. He felt that he, a wise man with many doctoral degrees, was now being assigned to do the work of a research intern.
But he had no further complaints, saying:
"I don't know the specific content of those destructions, but I can guess that every evolution and change is a preview of the doomsday form, just like what we experienced this time, the world war and the explosion crisis...
Oh! I wonder what you want to say. "
Luther turned around suddenly and looked at Mason, who was shaking the golden cup in a mysterious manner behind him.
He said:
"This doomsday process has been stopped! You are the 'interferers' who entered here from outside the sandbox, and you are an unknown factor that should not appear in this alternation process.
Your appearance and actions have interrupted the continuation of the Doomsday. At least now, peace has come briefly, which has never happened in all the previous time changes. "
"Yes, this is where my confidence comes from."
Mason let out a long sigh and explained:
"When I first learned that the mastermind behind this was called 'Barry Allen', the Amazons and Atlantis suddenly went to war, just like a movie being fast-forwarded.
When that change happened I knew there was a pair of eyes observing the world, and it clearly wanted to see something 'different'.
So I gave it this change, taking the risk to stop the war.
And when the Atlantean doomsday weapon fell into our hands, the Flash sensed that the speed force network that enveloped the world was shaking.
The timing of these two events led me to a definite conclusion.
That tremor wasn't caused by Reverse-Flash.
It's a 'bonus'!
It's like the 'hidden level' that is rewarded to you by the system after you complete a difficult video game.
It's waiting for me, Luther.
Because I gave it a fairly satisfactory answer, it wanted to see me. When Barry opened the way to that space, as long as I could get in, I would not be thrown out easily.
The reason is simple. If you were a host in trouble, would you be so rude as to drive away the guest you always wanted to invite who could help you? "
"Mason! The World Gate has changed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Catwoman appeared at the door of the laboratory. The elder sister said to Mason in a serious tone:
"Its isolation from the outside world is disappearing. Perhaps in a few hours we will be able to leave this world through that door. Talia is gathering people. She plans to send Damian out of here in advance."
"Look, two choices."
Mason shrugged at Luther and said:
"That guy is quite polite and doesn't force me to do things according to his ideas. I can go to meet him, or I can just leave and leave you to fend for yourselves."
"What is your choice?"
Luther stared at Mason.
His hand grasped the pistol at his waist.
It is obvious that Lai Tu has his own ideas about this matter. Although he certainly cannot win, this behavior already represents his thoughts and ideas.
“My choice is of course to stay here.
I have done so much and I don't want to give up halfway. And this is a mission, I must return with the answer, otherwise wouldn't I satisfy those who are waiting to see me laugh?
If those useless people who have all the resources but are unwilling to do anything are happy, I will be miserable.”
Mason curled his lips and turned back to Catwoman and said:
"Tell Talia to stop! Wait there obediently, and no one is allowed to leave until I come back! You, the old man, and Zod stand guard at the door, and anyone who dares to approach that door will be killed!"
"I don't think Thalia will listen to you on this matter."
Selina whispered:
"She said she didn't care about Damian, but he was her son after all. She couldn't let Damian stay here and take risks. The same goes for Thomas and Martha."
"Is she the captain, or am I the captain? If she still doesn't understand her identity, let Deathstroke talk to her."
Mason rolled his eyes and said:
"I've said before that Talia is a qualified commander but totally unsuitable to be a leader. She doesn't have Lei Xiaogu's spirit of dedication to her ideals, nor does she have her father's foresight.
As for the old man...
He understands what we are doing and he will stand by us.
Besides, since this matter is related to Damian, shouldn't we ask for his opinion? You are his adoptive mother, you should teach him something.
Show some momentum, Selina."
Provoked by Mason, Catwoman straightened her back. The elder sister snorted, turned around and left in a heroic manner.
Luther took the separated serum sample and glanced at Mason. He said:
"The way you manage your squad is really interesting, you seem to be distinguishing between 'ideal players' and 'useless cannon fodder'.
If that Talia al Ghul doesn't learn her lesson, will you give her an accident?"
"No, I won't. I'm not that cruel."
Mason shook the serum twice, and after making sure it was completely filtered, he poured it into a golden cup that was already emitting high temperature, and then roasted it with a handful of magic fire.
As the liquid in the cup boiled, he whispered:
"If we are not on the same path, we can just part ways amicably. The Stars will be big enough to accommodate dissidents. She can choose a team she thinks has a future or start her own business.
I will never stand in the way.
But if something unfortunately happens to her, don't expect me to risk my life to save her. My energy is limited, no more, no less, just enough to share with my teammates.
Don't worry, Luther.
You won’t be part of the K-Team, so you won’t have those kinds of problems.”
He said to the young bald man beside him:
"I don't want to drag more people into the fire pit, and we don't have any plans to expand for the time being."
"Your medicine is going to get mushy."
Lai Tu breathed a sigh of relief and reminded him again, while Mason sighed, shook his head and said:
"I am far behind you in scientific literacy, but you are not as good as me in alchemy and cooking. This is a big fire to collect juice. If you want to store super speed, it is best to use solid crystals.
Because of what happened last time, I now have a shadow on potions."
A few minutes later, the liquid in the golden cup was completely evaporated, and in the mist, Mason used tweezers to pinch out an irregular yellow crystal.
There are still traces of the blood of the Philosopher's Stone in the translucent crystals.
It looks gray, like a rough stone that has not been finished.
"Successfully completed the epic quality, outstanding craftsmanship, alchemy/jewelry processing creation. Nick Mellor's alchemy stone took effect and upgraded the creation to legendary quality.
Successfully complete a fusion of legendary materials, the wisdom enlightenment effect takes effect, and the alchemy skill proficiency increases by X10X8X10X2=X1600.
The proficiency of jewelry processing skills increases by X1600 and is currently Lv3+1.

Unlock the Jewelry Processing Skills character trait: [Magic Jeweler: When making surreal jewelry, the quality of the finished product will not be lower than 'Excellent']"
"Is this going to raise my jewelry crafting skills by two levels at once?"
Mason looked at the exaggerated "1600 times" improvement in skill proficiency, and then was surprised to see his skill level suddenly increased from Lv1 to Lv3.
But then I looked at the specific information label of this thing and felt relieved. This kind of thing is definitely enough to upgrade this amount:
Unnamed Crystal Speed Force Container
Quality: Legendary Jewelry Processing/Alchemical Items·Ultimate Craftsmanship [The addition of the magic stone improves the quality and craftsmanship]
Item Features: Stability·Energy storage and release·Super reality
Item Utility:
1. Speed Force Gathering:
The crystal uses Barry Allen's genetic module as one of its materials, enabling it to absorb and store the speed force that escapes when Barry Allen runs.
The storage limit is the speed force redundancy generated by the Flash running at full speed for ten minutes.
hint!
This item can only be used to store the Speed Force sample belonging to Barry Allen. The conversion ratio of other Speed Force samples will be reduced to 10:1.
2. Speed release:
When the speed force in the crystal is released, the user will be in the state of [Super Speed·Speed Force].
The effect lasts for 1-60 seconds and can be released briefly multiple times before the energy is exhausted. In this state, the user will ignore all laws of physics and enter superluminal speed, and possess all the power characteristics of the Flash.
When the energy release is exhausted, the item will slowly recover by drawing energy from the Speed Force space. If undisturbed, it will take [12 hours] for the crystal to fully recover its energy.
hint!
The crystal's speed force link is effective in any world with Barry Allen and his time-space alter ego. When running with Barry Allen or his time-space alter ego, the duration of the speed force state will be extended.
warn!
The speed force state granted by this crystal cannot be used to enter the super-time stream.
warn!
Frequent use of this item may attract the attention of [Black Lightning].
3. Hazardous items:
Please note that the speed force effect granted by this crystal is an external force. If the physical fitness is unable to bear this high-dimensional force, it will cause serious or even irreversible damage to the user.
Ordinary people are strictly prohibited from using this item!
Producer: Mason Cooper
Item Description: According to relevant research, the high-speed movement of fingers in a superluminal state is equivalent to cutting with a sharp knife, so I warn you not to use this thing to do strange things to yourself or others, except for torture, of course.
"I'm really tired of this kind of instant understanding life."
Mason looked at the item description in front of him and was too helpless to complain about the bad taste of this mysterious guy who generated these words for him. What's wrong with this guy?
At least seven out of the ten sentences he spoke were about the lower three ways, and the remaining three were provocations... Hey, you must be a warrior whose provocation ability has been trained to the demigod level, right?
"Is that all?"
Lex Luthor looked at the special crystal on Mason's fingertips in surprise, and his instinct, which came from his super intelligence, made him realize that Mason had made something quite incredible in the laboratory.
In response to his question, Mason shook his head and took out a set of jewelry processing equipment. He picked up a previously made ring frame and deftly inlaid the gray crystal into a pinky ring to be worn on the little finger.
"That's it."
He put down his tools and admired the ugly ring. He shrugged and walked out of the laboratory. He handed it to Barry who was waiting there and said:
"Run, take it and run at full speed for ten minutes and then return it to me. Just consider it as a favor to me."
Mason said to The Flash:
"When you come back, we can go and see the true appearance of this strange world."
