Chapter 293 General Darkseid Captures Reverse Lightning
The crimson omega rays, bent in a way that seemed unlike anything in reality, were more like strange zigzags drawn by someone with a red ballpoint pen in a two-dimensional world, leaving a deep, striking mark of fear on the pale red shallows of the world.
This crimson energy burst has repeatedly slaughtered countless creatures that rose up in rebellion against the ravages of the Apokolips Parademons, but it has repeatedly failed on Earth.
The rapidly running yellow figure suddenly split into three. In an instant, two of them were roasted into skeletons by the Omega Ray, while the remaining one continued to flee into the distance until it was blocked again by the Flash, who pounced on it and grabbed its leg, along with another Omega Ray.
"Impressive," Chen Tao said.
He stood beside the original, hands behind his back, head held high, chest puffed out, as if trying to appear profound, and said:
"No one has ever been able to escape my Omega rays."
Darkseid: "..."
Your Omega rays?
Despite their unresemblance, Batman's current posture is exactly like a smaller version of Darkseid.
The Lord of Apocalypse didn't intend to waste any more words with the lunatic. He lowered his hands, which had been behind his back, letting them hang naturally at his sides, and then a red light appeared in his eyes again.
Beep—beep be ...
The Omega rays erupted in multiple bursts once again, and pairs of energy rays, like snakes, shot toward Reverse-Flash, who was relentlessly beating the Flash, Barry, not far away, at speeds beyond human reaction limits.
"If it were that Kryptonian or the Amazonian woman, they would never use such a method. They usually..."
Chen Tao continued speaking, but then he couldn't continue making things up:
"Well, if Superman's body is fine, taking an Omega ray will only knock him unconscious at most. Superman the Supreme just takes it head-on with his iron head."
"While Wonder Woman's physical body is not strong enough to withstand the rays, her protective bracelets are one of the artifacts forged by the Olympian gods. When unleashed at full power, they can also deflect the attacks of Omega rays."
"It seems like the rays aren't working... God, you're so useless. Shoot there, shoot there."
"If you had shot to the left, he would be dead now."
"Okay, just cut right in the middle of his heart... no, you're wrong, this is still time residual."
"Sigh. That's not how you hit it."
"..."
Darkseid turned his head and looked at Chen Tao indifferently. Just when Chen Tao thought he was about to unleash an Omega Ray on him as well, Darkseid turned his head again:
"Shut up, Batman."
Darkseid's words were concise and to the point, and Chen Tao, seizing the opportunity, immediately shut up. He wouldn't be so foolish as to want to see what it would be like to anger the Lord of Apokolips.
He was spouting this nonsense to distract Darkseid and conceal his true purpose, not to enrage Darkseid. His purpose should always be clear.
Moreover, despite Chen Tao's trash talk and his denigration of Darkseid's Omega Rays, he never underestimated his opponent.
The Omega Effect is a special kind of entropic force, the destructive opposite of the creative force of origin. Strictly speaking, although omega rays sometimes appear to be a kind of heat vision that can bend, that is not actually the case at all.
It is far more powerful than heat vision, and even carries some connotations of instant death. When used at full power, Darkseid can instantly obliterate his enemies unless they are powerful enough to withstand it, or protected by the Source Wall, like Superman.
Therefore, when faced with Darkseid's Omega Ray attack, Reverse-Flash was forced to continuously use Time Remnants to actively create time paradoxes to replicate his own moves, sacrificing those Time Remnant clones to destroy the Omega Effect and thus preserve his main body.
This response was absolutely correct. Although the opponent was constantly surrounded by the Flash and Omega Rays, which reduced their space for maneuvering, they were still holding their own against Darkseid and the Flash's combined attack.
While Darkseid and his new teammate The Flash aren't quite on good terms yet, he'll eventually find a gap in their teamwork. Whether he escapes to another timeline or hides himself in another way, he'll find a way.
Although Batman used the authority of All Red to stop Reverse-Flash from opening a portal to All Red to return to Earth through the magic cast on him by the Mite, Batman was unable to stop him within the entire range of All Red.
As long as Reverse-Flash escapes Darkseid and The Flash's pursuit, the Red Hole is so vast that he can easily find his way back to any nook or cranny Batman wouldn't notice.
If Batman could stop me from this distance, then he wouldn't be just a lowly agent of the Red of All Beings, but rather the Queen of Life, Michaelson (Animal Man's daughter).
As for what will happen after we go back?
Reverse Lightning had a cold expression on his face.
He hasn't decided yet.
The situation was terrible. Batman's sudden agreement with Darkseid caught him off guard; it was something he had never anticipated.
In order to make it logical for the Flash to die in battle against Darkseid, just like in the future he had seen before, he had considered most of the possible scenarios.
He had even previously theorized that Batman could "recharge" himself through the Turtle Man and the Gorilla Grodd, allowing him to unleash his bizarre abilities—suddenly possessing the Speed Force and Doomsday-like physique—for an unlimited period of time, while Darkseid's abilities were weaker than expected, making it unnecessary for the Flash to sacrifice himself.
Everything had been going smoothly until now. Darkseid was strong enough that the Justice League suffered a crushing defeat. Next, Batman would return, and no matter what he did, he couldn't get past Darkseid. The Flash would be threatened with his family and become a sacrifice, just like Groudon and Turtle Man...
Everything was planned perfectly, but suddenly it seemed that the situation spiraled out of control at some point.
"Let's get real, Darkseid. There's no point in continuing this stalemate."
Even at top speed, due to the Speed Force and the Reverse Speed Force, Reverse Flash could still clearly hear Batman's words to Darkseid:
"But remember, I want to capture them alive. Capture them alive. They can't be dead, and they can't have broken legs."
ridiculous.
Now that they are enemies, even with an alliance with Darkseid, the Lord of Apokolips, is Batman still clinging to the ridiculous no-kill rule?
absurd.
Why would Batman speak to Darkseid like that? What is he relying on? Is the Lord of Apokolips really that easy to talk to?
Reverse Lightning squinted.
However, since the incident has already occurred, there is no point in thinking about the reasons, and the enemy's stupidity is our opportunity.
He had found a weakness in Darkseid's cooperation with the Flash. The Flash had already had a significant amount of Speed Force absorbed by him, making him far slower than him, yet he was still able to hold his own, entirely due to his coordination with the Omega Rays that were relentlessly pursuing him.
However, as long as he manages to successfully bypass their interceptions from different directions and then starts running at full speed, the Flash and Ray will be left in the dust behind him.
And that move...
He himself dared to teach the Flash how to use the Speed Force to exile enemies into unstable parallel universes, and of course, he was equally proficient in using it himself.
Although he knew that such a tactic alone would not be enough to trap Darkseid, it would be enough to delay him until he could escape.
Yes, an opportunity...
Within 1/10000 of a second, Reverse-Flash found a flaw in their coordination. From an outsider's perspective, the yellow lightning bolt, which had been trapped by a sky full of red zigzag lines and crimson shadows, seemed to pause for a moment before breaking through the encirclement and speeding away into the distance, leaving only the Flash and the Omega Rays, who continued to pursue him, eating dust in his wake.
Darkseid finally got serious. Contrary to his usual behavior, he transformed into a gray shadow and rushed towards Reverse-Flash at a speed only slightly slower than the Flash.
Despite his massive size, the Dark Lord was exceptionally agile. Before he even got close to Reverse-Flash, seven or eight Omega Rays shot out from his eyes again. This time, it wasn't just him working with Flash, but with both of them.
The Flash, who had just fought Reverse-Flash, also managed to unleash his speed again. With his face bruised and swollen, he swung his hand with a high-frequency trembling motion and lunged at Reverse-Flash once more.
Fighting is always the best teacher. After being beaten up by Reverse-Flash just once, The Flash looked like he could use the Supersonic Chop with ease.
In an instant, three attacks came from three different directions toward Reverse Lightning.
Even in this suddenly critical situation, Reverse-Flash remained completely at ease. He skillfully created another Time Remnant clone and sent it to the Omega Rays that were shooting towards him. This time, he even used only one Time Remnant clone to collide with all the rays, consuming them all at once.
Then, amidst a violent explosion, Reverse-Flash shattered the remains of his own timeline clone, which had been burned to a skeleton by the Omega Effect, scattering his own ashes from another timeline onto the Flash's face. Then, using his speed advantage far exceeding that of his opponent, he stomped on the Flash's already bruised and swollen face, using the momentum to leap over.
Without the help of Ray and Flash, Darkseid's speed was slightly inferior to his. He easily dodged Darkseid's swinging punch and passed right through his crotch.
He seemed to be trying to escape, but in a split second, Reverse Flash paused for a moment, less than 1/10th of a second, which completely ruined his chance to escape, and he was caught red-handed by the three people.
"What exactly is going on...?"
Reverse Flash stared in disbelief at the countless mechanical components that had sprung up from his body. These things seemed to have appeared out of thin air, growing out of his flesh and blood, both bizarre and disgusting.
He shuddered, and in an instant, these things passed through the molecules on Reverse-Flash's body and fell to the ground. Reverse-Flash almost broke free from Darkseid's grasp, but then he was grabbed again by the Flash, who was also vibrating at a high frequency, and could no longer escape.
"What on earth is going on? Batman, what did you do to me?"
At this moment, Reverse-Flash was embraced from behind by The Flash in his standard hugging posture, while the Dark Lord picked them both up and threw them together in front of Batman.
Reverse-Flash was completely baffled: "That's impossible. You did leave a lot of nanobots in my body, but I only trembled the molecules in my body and passed through matter once. These nanobots should have all been forced to leave my body."
Reverse-Flash said, "They're just some nanobots. Your nanotechnology isn't even as advanced as the civilian version of nanobots in my future."
He said, "None of this is possible. It's not scientific."
He muttered to himself, as if he had not yet recovered from the huge blow, but the next second he cried out in pain, and more metal components continued to sprout from his body like mushrooms after rain, abruptly interrupting his attempt to change the frequency of his body trembling and try to escape again.
"The reason is simple: it's not science, it's magic."
Chen Tao looked at his opponent with great satisfaction. Although he had left some tricks on Reverse-Flash before, as long as the opponent was far enough away and kept using his ability to travel through molecules, these tricks would be useless against him. However, if he were to face Darkseid and The Flash at the same time, these small interferences would become the key to his defeat, and he wouldn't even have time to use the move to exile Darkseid to other parallel universes.
The key point is...
Chen Tao, full of anticipation, reached out his evil hand towards Reverse Lightning.
See? Villains always manage to surprise him. After letting him go, Reverse-Flash, having leveled up again, is undeniably ridiculously strong. In this universe, villains seem to be blessed by the heavens; even Darkseid almost couldn't capture him.
Silver particles swirled around his body, transforming one of his hands into the shape of the Crimson Death Demon. He then began to slowly rub the other's body, and soon he successfully found a wisp of the Reverse Speed Force from Reverse Lightning. He was overjoyed and began to carefully study it.
"You're very good... very good."
His eyes gleamed with a light that Reverse Lightning couldn't comprehend.
Very good...very good. Now the puzzle is complete...at least part of it.
Then he stood up, adopted a dignified posture, and said to Darkseid as if ordering a subordinate, "Come here, Darkseid. Tie him up and take him away."
Darkseid: ...
