Chapter 277 Superman's Speed Force Reverses Speed Force: Rebirth?
Chapter 277 Superman + Speed Force + Reverse Speed Force = ...Rebirth?
My name is Reverse-Lightning, Elberd Swann.
I hide behind the curtain of time, manipulating the course of history and guiding everything in the direction I want it to go...
In most people's imaginations, the most wicked villains are hiding in deep underground caves, plotting their evil schemes, surrounded by bottles and jars, and with ugly henchmen around them. However, this stereotype is actually...
Completely correct.
At this moment... right now.
Reverse Flash is standing in a huge, dark cave with many villains from the evil organization "Super Villain Secret Society" under the command of "Outsider".
On a slightly elevated stone platform in front of him, the Outsider sat with his back to them in front of several computer screens fixed to the rock wall.
He stared blankly at the computer screen, which displayed the Justice League heroes still out there fighting for justice: Green Lantern, Flash...
Standing beside him was Dr. Ivo.
This evil doctor, whose brain looks like it's been soaked in sulfuric acid, is the one who created the Chemical Waste Monster and the Hairy Man. He used to do evil on his own, but now he has long since submitted to outsiders and serves as the chief scientist of a secret supervillain company.
"It seems... everyone has arrived."
A hoarse, deep voice rang out as Reverse-Flash watched the Outsider slowly turn his swivel chair around until it faced them all.
At this moment, he was not wearing a top hat as he did outside, and the light above his head cast an uncertain glow on his already pale face.
"In short, let's start with our objective. We can't actually bring Darkseid to Earth."
An outsider remarked, "This is not in our interest."
"That's why the leader summoned you all here," Dr. Ivo, standing next to the outsider, interjected. "Our forces will be used to turn against us at a crucial moment."
Reverse Lightning remained expressionless.
The Outsider and his allies claimed to Mite and Cyborg that he was ready to summon Darkseid at any time and was willing to help them do so. Therefore, based on this premise, Mite and Cyborg devised a plan:
Batman's plan was to use three fully activated Mother Boxes to lure Steppenwolf into a trap, then have the entire Justice League gang up on him and capture him, right?
Very well, we'll play along and pretend to fall into their trap. But it's not just Steppenwolf who's fallen into the trap, but also a whole bunch of monsters released from Monster Land, the Outsider and his supervillain secret society, and Darkseid summoned with the "Father Box".
Add to that the betrayal by three spies lurking within the Justice League, and the roles of prey and hunter will be reversed in an instant.
however……
"Oh my god, are we going to help the Justice League, boss?"
Reverse Lightning glanced sideways and saw that the one raising the question was a brownish-yellow humanoid lizard standing not far from him. The creature had two bulging lumps on its chest, but the voice it made was that of a man.
He was Copperhead, or rather, she. Reverse-Flash knew her; this guy was a transgender monster slayer. Dangerous, but only to the average person.
"We're not here to help the Justice League," the Outsider said. "We're here to make the Justice League and our allies both suffer. We're a third party playing with fire, and it won't be good for us whether the Justice League or our allies win."
The outsider paused, then said, "If the Justice League falters, we'll help them. If our allies are losing, we'll help them. Is that clear enough?"
"Oh my god, am I going to go up against Wonder Woman?" A buzzing voice rang out, and it was another villain, Tar Pit, who spoke.
This guy is the Flash's villain; simply put, he's a Mudface without shapeshifting abilities. Mudface is a lump of mud, a huge blob of tar, and also a non-human creature.
Reverse Lightning was watching him from behind.
A troublesome fellow, at least more troublesome than the Copperhead Serpent.
Reverse Lightning's gaze swept over the remaining few people once more.
The villain, "Ice Pillar," is as the name suggests; his specialty is placing ice blocks.
The villain, Steelbeam, is the Flash's antagonist; he's made of iron.
Reverse Lightning touched his chin.
Do outsiders really think they can defeat the Justice League with just these few guys?
"Don't overestimate yourselves," the outsider said. "You're only here as supplementary fighting force."
He gestured to Dr. Ivo, who immediately replied:
"That's right, and the real fighting power—" Dr. Ivo's voice chuckled, "is my latest creation."
He said, "Believe me, this guy isn't some kind of defective product like a hairy man or a chemical waste monster."
Dr. Ivo, his face covered in terrifying blisters, strode out somewhat erratically, then bowed exaggeratedly to thin air:
"Welcome, everyone, to my finest invention: the Amozzo!"
A silence.
"I didn't see anything," said the villain Steelbeam.
A look of suspicion crossed his face, which was covered in rivets and rust, and his beard, which seemed to be made entirely of steel, rattled as he shook his head: "No, it's not true at all—"
But before he could finish speaking, he felt someone grab his neck from behind.
A muscular, burly man, completely naked, emerged from the air behind him and instantly executed a rear-naked choke.
"drink!"
He roared and immediately tilted his head back, intending to use his sharp, steel-made hair to stab the enemy who attacked him from behind. However, his hair only stuck into the same steel-made face with a loud thud.
Before Steelbeam could launch a further attack, his opponent released him.
Steel Beam turned his head and saw a face that was also made of metal.
"Amodro is a robot I invented that can replicate any superpower it sees. Although it's only an initial version, it's still dangerous enough," Dr. Ivo said. "It can even replicate Superman's abilities, let alone those of other ordinary people."
As Dr. Ivo spoke, the Amozzo robot opened its palm, and wisps of frost spread from its palm—the ability of the villain Ice Pillar. Next, it demonstrated the ability of Tar Pit to turn its body into scorching asphalt, and the ability to turn its hand into the claws of a copper-headed serpent.
Finally, the robot clenched its fist, and its body was even wrapped in the black and red lightning unique to the Speed Force.
"This is unbelievable..."
Seeing Reverse-Flash's somewhat surprised expression, Dr. Ivo's eyes narrowed to slits on his ugly face: "That's right, this is my invention, the invincible Amozzo robot, a masterpiece far surpassing the Hairy Man and the Chemical Scrap Monster. With this robot, even Darkseid would probably..."
"I see."
"Reverse Lightning said."
one second.
Reverse Lightning's supersonic hand chop, delivered without warning, sliced open the Copperhead's neck.
two seconds.
Before the frost in the icicle's palm could even react and condense, Reverse Lightning, wrapped in black and red lightning, had already appeared in front of him.
three seconds.
The icicle's head fell to the ground. Before the first drop of blood splattered, Reverse Lightning, which had been spinning at high speed for more than 300 times, punched Steelbeam, shattering half of his body.
Four seconds.
Dr. Ivo activated the Amozzo robot in a panic, and the Outsider was thrown to the ground by the wind pressure generated by the Reverse Lightning and this sudden change.
Before he could react, the tar pit was grabbed by the neck by Reverse Lightning and instantly carried to the Pacific Ocean. He was then thrown into the water with a splash, and the icy seawater instantly extinguished all the heat on his body, solidifying him into lumps of black, hard asphalt.
The tar pit immediately lost its ability to move and sank into the sea like a statue.
Five seconds.
Backflash returned to the Supervillain Secret Society's base, where the Amozzo robot, which had copied his Speed Force, greeted him. The flesh-colored and yellow figures clashed fiercely in the fairly spacious hall, the hurricane they created while running at high speed comparable to a small indoor typhoon.
"What happened? What happened—what exactly happened—"
Dr. Ivo screamed, clutching the remote to activate Amozzo, while Outsider huddled awkwardly behind an overturned chair: "Idiot, Reverse-Flash isn't as genuinely interested in recruiting us as Tar Crater Copperhead. This guy's goal is probably the Father Box. He's in cahoots with Mite and Cyborg Superman; they all want to summon Darkseid—"
call!
The hurricane that swept through the entire room stopped.
Dr. Ivo trembled as Reverse-Flash, his body crackling with red and black electricity, appeared before him. And the robot whose throat he was gripping… the robot covered in exposed electrical components, sliced from shoulder to buttock by a supersonic hand chop…
It was the weapon he had always pinned his hopes on, Amorozond!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle...
Reverse-Flash casually tossed the still convulsing robot to the ground with a thud, a sound that seemed to resonate both on the heavy ground and in Dr. Ivo's heart.
"No! My invention! My most perfect creation!" A tremendous sense of resentment instantly overwhelmed Dr. Ivo's heart, making him forget the fear brought by the reverse lightning before his eyes.
He lunged at the wrecked Amojo, trembling all over, tears welling in his eyes as he scrambled across the hideous face, which was covered in filthy blisters and clumps of skin.
"Why? Why!?"
He suddenly looked at Reverse Lightning and roared at the top of his lungs:
"I've spent most of my life studying science, standing on the shoulders of countless scientific giants and great predecessors. How can the technology that humanity has spent thousands of years developing be inferior to the superpowers you mutated in just a few tens of minutes?"
"Why! Why! Why are your superpowers so strong? Why can you so easily defeat my painstaking creation—this is not fair!"
Dr. Ivo looked at Reverse-Flash with a look of hatred that seemed to be a death wish:
"You could have killed me before I activated the Amodro, but you just wanted to test its power, didn't you? You treated my invention like a toy, fooling and testing its power like a dog. How dare you insult my invention!"
Before facing Amorozon, Reverse-Flash had no idea just how strong his opponent was.
Even though Reverse-Flash was uncertain, he still allowed Dr. Ivo to activate Amozzo. This attitude, which showed that he had not considered the possibility of losing to Amozzo, was undoubtedly a huge humiliation for Dr. Ivo.
He wanted to say something more, but it was too late.
The last thing he heard before he was knocked unconscious was:
"The robot you built is quite impressive. Even though it's limited by the times, it can't hide your talent. It's a pity you died here... Congratulations on surviving."
The outsider stood up from the ground and dusted off non-existent dust from his body.
He picked up the walking stick that had been knocked over earlier and placed next to the chair, and stood there like a true gentleman, waiting for the reverse lightning.
The next second, Reverse-Flash, who had just knocked Dr. Ivo unconscious, appeared in front of him as if by teleportation, nose to nose.
Outsiders could even feel the heat of the other person's breath, like the sulfurous breath of a dragon.
"If you want to manipulate the Father Box, you need me," the Outsider said. "Your goal, or rather, the goal of Mite and Cyborg, is simply to bring Darkseid to Earth. I can cooperate."
He said, "The Father Box is a scientific creation; magic has no effect on it. Otherwise, why do you think the Mite of Meditation didn't take it with him when it helped me bring it through the Vault of Eternity? Only I know how to activate it. Kill me, and you'll get nothing—ugh!"
But before the outsider could finish speaking, Reverse Lightning raised his hand and struck him with a bolt of red and black lightning.
Immediately afterwards, the outsider discovered that he had lost control of his own body.
He could only watch helplessly as his body, under Reverse-Flash's control, led him through the base's winding corridors, finally retrieving the Father Box from its heavy protection, holding it in his palm, and manipulating it at will for Reverse-Flash to see.
"How...how did you know where I hid the Father's Box...even the Meditation Mite couldn't invade my brain."
"That's impossible. Even if you can control my body, you shouldn't be able to read my thoughts..."
"Oh, old man. Nothing is ever impossible in this world." Reverse-Flash extended a finger, letting the black and red Anti-Speed Force leap and surge at his fingertip.
"The Speed Force is, in itself, the power to create miracles." He patted the other person on the shoulder. "And the Anti-Speed Force is the same."
"However..." he said, looking at the still-nagging outsider, "it's not right for you to always talk so much nonsense."
So he waved his hand again, and strands of black and red lightning began to entwine around the outsider's mind once more.
Before long, the other party's eyes glazed over, and his mouth and eyes became crooked, completely turning him into a tool for manipulating the father box.
"Very good. Very good." Reverse-Flash stroked his chin.
With the help of the Father Box, Darkseid's arrival on Earth is a foregone conclusion. And his goal with Reverse-Flash is to make the scene in his vision of the future, where the Flash sacrifices himself to fight Darkseid, a scene he envisions.
"Hehehe..." Reverse Lightning chuckled softly.
How to manipulate The Flash and force him to die?
It's very simple, his mother... his father and his girlfriend.
He will find them, kidnap them, and then make the Flash sacrifice himself voluntarily.
At that time, the entire Justice League will be completely tied down by Darkseid...
The Flash, who died before the dawn of Darkseid's defeat.

"I'm not a superstitious person," Chen Tao said.
He was sitting in Lucius's lab, with Superman Clark and his girlfriend Louise sitting together.
"I never believe in anything that is foolproof."
Chen Tao explained, "The Meditation Mite possesses magic and also has considerable divination abilities. Even the Red of All Beings is not necessarily an absolutely safe haven."
"So...?" Clark asked.
"So you will be my last line of defense in protecting the hostages."
Chen Tao said:
"Today I will personally infuse you with a portion of the controlled Reverse Speed Force, and..."
"And..." Lucius said, "and to conduct a hypothetical experiment that we've been planning for a long time."
He said in a deep voice, "If we use the Speed Force and the Anti-Speed Force together to accelerate your cells..."
"Can you restore your body of steel?"
