Volume 4: The Last Day Chapter 84 I am the Flash, the fastest man in the world, but now I can’t run anymore…
"What's up with your ring?"
Ten minutes later, in the secret room of the Ark of Doom, Barry Allen, who had run around the world hundreds of times at full speed, returned the ring in his hand to Mason feeling uncomfortable all over.
Xiao Shan complained:
"When I run with it on, it feels like it's sucking my blood, and I can feel that part of my speed force is being absorbed by it.
This situation reminds me of the time when I was battling wits with Reverse Flash. Mason, you won't use it for bad things, will you? "
"It depends on how you define 'bad'."
Mason shrugged, took his speed force ring and looked at it in front of his eyes. The originally gray and irregular crystal now emitted a beautiful light as if it had been carved.
It doesn't emit a dazzling light, but there is indeed a faint yellow glow in the darkness, just like a tiny night pearl.
He wore the ring on the little finger of his left hand.
Before he could say anything, the Black Death Sword armor ring that was originally fixed on his ring finger moved its shape very "disdainfully" and attached itself to Mason's left wrist again, turning into a black bracelet like a tattoo.
It seemed to hate the aura of power emanating from this "new neighbor".
This also fully demonstrates that although the Speed Force has the word "God" in its name, it does not have divinity.
"Buzz"
Mason activated the ring briefly, and his hand immediately began to vibrate rapidly like Barry did when he activated the light speed hand knife, but it was forced to stop within a second.
It’s not that the ring can’t hold up.
But he himself could not hold on. The evil alchemist silently felt the severe pain coming from his wrist. The previous blow had shattered his hand bones.
Well, it seems that the reminder specially stated on the ring does make some sense. With his current weak physique that would cause diarrhea after drinking Superman potion, he is totally incapable of controlling the even more unreasonable speed force.
"Wait a moment."
Mason took out the Bone Spirit and took a sip of it. He grimaced in pain and almost cried. Barry felt a pain in his teeth seeing this, and felt that Mason did not make a speed force ring but a suicide device for himself.
"Take it easy."
Xiao Shan grumbled in a low voice:
"There are a group of people outside waiting for you to show your might. If you kill yourself here, they will probably rush in and hack me to death."
"It doesn't matter, there's always tomorrow."
Mason, looking pale, joked:
"Put this thing here for now. When I become powerful, you'll see me using the Speed Force to go to the toilet... Okay, no more jokes, I just found something in my collection.
You might be able to use it.”
He took out a small box and opened it. Inside was a stone spear of very rough and simple workmanship. Only the tip of the spear looked like a small toy made by children.
It was also stained with blood and looked very ominous.
This thing was the trophy that Mason got when he killed the great wizard Igor. It was a treasure that guy got from the Aesir from some unknown world.
At this moment, he picked up the stone spear and handed it to Xiao Shan. Light patterns appeared on it, and Mason saw the information label of this thing again:

hint:
When you come into contact with the orthodox divine inscription "Rune Rune", the talent of [Photographic Memory] is activated, and the collection of Rune Runes such as [Thunder], [Must Hit], [Piercing], and [Bleeding] is completed.
The epigraphic branch "Inscription of Divine Power" is opened.
"What is this?"
There was no information label for Little Flash to read, so he had no idea why Mason gave him this toy-like stone spearhead.
But when his fingers touched the unremarkable tip of the spear, a lightning bolt gathered from the speed force suddenly shot out from the tip of the spear, as if activating this divine object and making it float in front of Barry's eyes with a whoosh.
Now all Barry needs to do is set a target to summon the projection of the Spear of Judgment.
"Hey! Don't point it at people! It's dangerous!"
Mason, who was targeted by the spear, was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He grabbed the spear tip and stuffed it back into Barry's palm, and suppressed the Black Death Sword armor on his left wrist that was becoming restless because of the smell of divinity.
"You speedsters have very little skill in fighting each other."
Mason explained to Barry:
“You can throw lightning, but when you move at high speed, the speed of the lightning can’t keep up with the frequency of your dodges. This little cutie can perfectly solve this problem.
As long as you use it to lock and aim at Reverse Flash, he will never be able to escape in this world where time travel is impossible, but don't miss, because this thing can only be used once.
This last bullet can only be left to him or to you."
He patted Barry on the shoulder and gave him a warning. Little Flash was silent when he looked at the stone spear in his hand. His character was too kind that it was difficult for him to make up his mind to kill even when facing the enemy.
Batman once commented that the Flash’s biggest weakness is his kindness, but this is also Barry’s biggest advantage. Even the villains like to “play” with him.
After all, no matter how much trouble happens, there will be no danger to life.
Mason, who was standing at the door, seemed to sense Barry Allen's hesitation. He turned around and said to Little Flash:
"That thing doesn't necessarily have to pierce the heart. In fact, as long as you aim well, you can completely chop ...
But you know, he is destined not to leave this world peacefully."
"I did not mean that!"
Barry immediately retorted and explained:
"I'm not afraid of blood on my hands, I just..."
"You are not afraid, but I am."
Mason looked back at him with his hand on the lock and said:
"I don't want to see the Red Death being born before my eyes. I know exactly what you'll become once you cross that line, and I don't want to cause myself any more trouble.
I mean, Barry.
Being kind is not your fault, and it is not anyone else's fault! So when you know you have to do something but can't do it, you must learn to ask others for help.
That’s what friends are for.”
"Click"
The sealed door was opened, and the eyes of the people outside the door were all looking at Mason and the Flash in the shadow behind him. The old man glanced at Damian beside him and said in a hoarse voice:
"How about I go? Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it!"
"If I need to kill a god again, I'll ask you to do it for me, Thomas, but forget it this time."
Mason waved his hand, took something out of his pocket and put it in the old man's hand, then winked at Catwoman, and the two walked aside and whispered a few words.
The old man glanced at what he had in his hand.
It was a silver-gray data key that looked like a small metal bolt. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen Mason park a majestic power armor in the hangar of the Doomsday Ship for maintenance.
Now the old man knew what task he had to undertake.
He glanced at the Flash, who had a complicated expression on his face, and reached out to pat the young man on the shoulder. Although they had not spent much time together, an old hand like Thomas could already discern Barry Allen's character.
This child is the kind of young man who can make anyone feel at ease at any time, a true "good person".
"Get rid of that bad guy who's running fast, and you don't have to worry about what happens next."
The old man whispered:
"You can't do something like killing people."
The words that only two people could hear made Barry look up suddenly, and then he saw the old man showing a fleeting smile above his chin, which was almost exactly the same as Bruce's, under the bat mask.
He and Mason clearly didn't say anything, but the old man actually guessed it.
He is worthy of being the Batman of a parallel world.
None of them are easy to deal with.
"Hey, are we sure we want to bet our lives on these two people?"
The Death Shooter on the outskirts of the crowd was carrying his beloved Cat and Heavy Sniper, folding his arms and complaining to the Deathstroke beside him:
"One is the conscience of the Justice League, and the other has an unclear relationship with Batman. What is our bottom line as a villain? What is our persistence?
I think you have to rely on yourself to survive.”
"Go and kill yourself."
Deathstroke yawned, waved his hand and said:
"I don't want to come into conflict with Mason. I'm still waiting for him to offer me a new job. It's not a good habit to mess with the big boss before I even start working."
"Yo, you got connections, man."
Death Shooter perked up when he heard this.
He knocked the bell with his arm and whispered:
"Take me with you. I originally thought that Talia was a capable woman, but now that I've seen her being suppressed by that young Mason, I know that he's the capable one. If I follow him, I'll be able to make it big."
"Boss, please take me with you too."
The huge shark king was wearing his cool underwater helmet and chewing a bag of snacks that someone had stuffed into his hand, making a crunching sound.
This bastard imitated Deadshot's words and spoke to Deathstroke in a flattering manner, and even handed over the bag of snacks in his hand to try to bribe the mercenary leader.
"you?"
Deathstroke glanced at his two good brothers, rolled his eyes and said:
"Okay, come with me and do some hard work when you get back, and I'll put in a good word for you in front of Mason. We can't be partners of justice, but being the black gloves of justice shouldn't be a problem.
I guess even if it's absolute justice, there are things that are inconvenient for you to do."
While they were discussing, Talia also gathered with Lady Martha to whisper. The focus of their discussion was how to protect Damian's safety, but Damian was not interested in this at all.
The little madman just wants to continue killing!
"Open the door, Barry!"
Mason told Catwoman a few things, took off his Hell's Eye pin and handed it to Selina, then shouted to Flash who was making preparations.
Barry Allen took a deep breath, and his figure flashed to the end of the Ark. All the people around him stepped aside to make way for him.
And Lex Luthor is now setting up a special instrument with the help of Deathstroke to record what will happen next.
Regardless of whether Mason and Little Flash's actions succeed or fail, this will be the biggest event that will happen in this world before the end of the world and must be recorded.
"Shua"
The Flash started running in a standard posture and instantly broke through the speed of light.
In a tenth of a blink of an eye, he ran across the top of the several kilometers long Ark, and then burst out with super speed in front of Mason and crashed into the special space under time.
With a bang.
A crack covered with yellow lightning appeared in front of everyone, and the impact of its special energy blew Catwoman next to Mason away.
As the eldest sister swung out the black-painted Lasso of Truth to pull herself back to the deck, Mason also activated the pinky ring on his little finger. The light wrapped around his whole body and made Mason vibrate rapidly on the spot to the same frequency as Little Flash at this moment. Then he endured the great pain and jumped, and the whole person disappeared into the crack leading to the speed force space.
What comes into view is a rapidly rotating illusion, and the surroundings look like a winding passage filled with broken light, forming an extremely complex "time maze" in this unknown area .
The light screens on both sides reflect images of this world at various points in time that have happened before.
Lex Luthor was right. Just looking at the completely different backgrounds and the completely different disasters that are encountered in these scattered images, you can tell that this is definitely not a normal timeline flowing forward.
It's like a "Doomsday|Bad Movie Marathon", the whole world is heading towards the same doomsday in an ever-evolving disaster.
Mason climbed up in this time maze feeling pain all over his body, but he clearly saw Flash and Reverse-Flash chasing and fighting back and forth in front of him. In this area composed entirely of speed force, the speed between the two people seemed to be limited to a very fast but not so fast point, with red and yellow lights interlaced.
They were running and attacking each other, which looked very cool, but if you look closely, it's not hard to find that these two guys were just fighting with straight punches.
Sometimes they even push each other like they are fighting with other naughty kids.
no way.
Einstein said that the speed of light squared times the mass equals explosive energy, so the best way for a speedster to fight is to aim at the target and hit it hard.
After all, in the time it takes for Little Flash to finish a set of military boxing, Reverse Flash has enough time to stab him tens of thousands of times...
"The Reverse-Flash has destabilized this place, Mason! Look at those holes in the walls! This place is about to collapse, and this selfish bastard is trying to destroy this place as a way to get himself out."
Flash's angry shout echoed in the time maze, and he shouted to Mason:
"I'll hold him back! You go deep into the maze and follow the hole he made. We can't get close to it. The thing protected by the Speed Force is waiting for you!
You are its most distinguished guest!
quick!
Mason, run!
Run! "
Mason was startled and dodged to the side.
At the same time, the yellow figure smashed into Mason's speed clone left behind at the speed of light.
The missing light-speed hand knife stunned Reverse Flash for a moment , and then he was kicked into the air by Barry Allen who pounced on him, and was kicked hundreds of meters away, even breaking several walls of the time maze.
Mason was really amazed by the simple but brutal fighting style of these speedsters. While cursing the unskilled and rough work, he activated his speed force ring and rushed into the depths of the maze with a whoosh.
It is protected by a lightning matrix woven almost entirely from the Speed Force.
Whenever Reverse Flash or Barry tried to get close, they would be beaten back. But as Mason approached, this dangerous speed force matrix strangely opened a door to welcome Mason.
Mason was inexperienced as he was using the speed force for the first time to run. His brain wanted to stop, but his legs were moving too fast. His thoughts could not keep up with his actions, so he fell out in an instant.
With a bang, he hit the wall, which seemed not very solid at first, and then he lay down, rubbing his dizzy head in embarrassment.
Then, he saw what was before his eyes.
Barry Allen.
This world's Barry Allen, of course.
An old man with a white beard, who was so old that only skin and bones were left, and looked even more miserable than the Kryptonian Zod who was rescued from the laboratory by Mason before, was running continuously in the space above his head.
He ran with great effort every step.
His poor appearance meant that he must have not rested for a long time, and only the wrinkled red battle suit on his body indicated his identity.
With every step he took, a dazzling golden light would fly out to the outside world, just like the core of a running engine transmitting endless energy to various parts of a running instrument.
Although it is not clear where the super speed force generated by Barry in front of him has gone, seeing him running so hard and panting, it seems like he is carrying the whole world on his back.
This may indeed be the case.
Mason looked at Barry Allen above his head who might fall down at any time. He moved his lips and looked at the scene in front of him as if it were a miracle.
He said:
"Barry, this world...is actually dead, right?"
