Chapter 247 Danger Level D, The Birth of the Golden Death Demon
My name is Albord Swann.
You might be familiar with another name of mine...
Reverse lightning.
Okay, about the Speed Force.
I don't like people calling it a skill, because it's much more than that.
The way The Flash became a hero by using the Speed Force proves that it is a gift; the Speed Force is not just a power, it is a hope that comes true.
But in the multiverse, all good things come at a price, with accompanying burdens, their opposites, their negative effects, their adverse consequences...
that's it.
Reverse Lightning caressed it with a mesmerizing touch, the black and blood-red lightning leaping and surging in his palm.
"You are my creation... my baby, the Reverse Speed Force. That's the name I gave you, just as Barry Allen created the Speed Force."
"It can corrupt speedsters. Once any speedster comes into contact with it, the Reverse Speed Force will devour them like cancer. By connecting the Reverse Speed Force with the Speed Force, I can use the Reverse Speed Force to accelerate the Flash at crucial moments..."
I can twist his thoughts, interfere with his loves and hates, amplify his inner emotions… The Reverse Speed Force has bestowed upon me many gifts, one of which is the ability to speak at a hypnotic frequency, a whisper that, at a certain speed, can make people do things they've never done before. I can plant an idea in his mind, entering or leaving before anyone notices…”
"Using it... I can turn the future I see into reality!"
"I will be the hidden force behind history. I will be the one who creates history; when those ideas spring to mind, the direction in which the wheels of history turn will be the direction my finger points!"
……
……
……
"What do you want, Batman?"
"Replicate your accident."
Say it again.
"I want to copy your abilities."
"That's impossible, Batman."
Barry Allen said, "With all due respect, you don't seem to have much affinity for the Speed Force."
"Not High" is only relative. Chen Tao is well aware that Barry is using his own qualifications to assess others' affinity for the Speed Force. In reality, Chen Tao's connection with the Speed Force is already very close—but this is still not enough for him to become a Speed Force user.
And Barry knew this too.
So he said, "That's why I don't understand why you still want to make that attempt."
At this moment, they were in a giant indoor laboratory plaza that had been specially decorated to be as large as a football field.
The Flash turned his head and saw that the dozens of "electric torture chairs" that Batman had prepared in advance were arranged in rows and rows, occupying the middle of the entire square.
Behind the soundproof glass on a high platform not far away, the Weather Wizard was chatting with little Shazam Billy Batson, while Green Lantern Hal Jordan and another Green Lantern, Sinestro, stood beside him.
The Flash swallowed hard. The Weather Wizard and Shazam were arguably the two most skilled lightning-wielding heroes in the Justice League, while the Green Lantern rings wielded by the two Green Lanterns were arguably the most powerful defensive weapons in the universe.
Now that they are all here, it looks like a large-scale operation.
He turned to Chen Tao and said:
"Listen, Batman, I'm serious. This might be hurtful, but as a user of the Speed Force, I have to tell you the truth. No matter how many times you try, I don't believe the Speed Force will turn you into a speedster."
He said, "Although I know you're not afraid of being struck by lightning, to obtain the Speed Force..."
"It's basically impossible unless I force it," Chen Tao said.
The Flash's face turned green instantly.
Memories of being tied to the front of a car and screaming flashed through his mind in an instant, and he stammered:
"Batman, you already did that last time. You should know that you can't completely force the Speed Force; at most, you can only take a little bit using your methods..."
Barry began to ramble incoherently.
Morally, he felt awkward refusing Batman. Everyone had witnessed Batman's heroic deeds in protecting the world single-handedly for so long, and after their personal meeting, Batman's work ethic—even busier than him, the speedster—was truly admirable.
Therefore, Barry would not hesitate to ask Batman for anything, except for the Speed Force...
That kind of thing was far beyond his control.
He couldn't help Batman ignite a barrel of explosives that none of them could control.
Then he saw Batman pat him on the back.
"I understand what you mean, Barry. But I'm just conducting an experiment."
"What experiment?"
You'll see when you see it.
The Flash saw Batman clap his hands, and then two transparent cages rose from the ground, revealing Groud, a gorilla with a face as sour as a pile of shit, and Turtle Man, who was still seriously injured and had tubes inserted into his body.
"The Flash, I swear I'll crack your skull open and eat your brain alive. And Batman, you..."
Chen Tao snapped his fingers, and the soundproofing device on the cage instantly activated. Soon, all Flash could see was the gorilla Grodd's mouth opening and closing, constantly spewing profanities, just like a pantomime actor.
After realizing he had been tricked like a monkey, the gorilla Grodd became even angrier. Golden speed force wrapped around its body, making it a blurry golden afterimage inside the square transparent cage, but it was unable to break through the seemingly easily shattered glass.
"Grunt..." Inside the turtle-man's transparent cage was a hospital bed. The turtle-man groaned softly, "What are you going to do to me?"
Chen Tao pulled two wires from their cages and connected them to the chair he was going to sit in, so that he could use them to share the pressure of the Alfred Protocol transformation. Then he slowly began to explain his plan:
"I want you to use the pure Speed Force to cleanse my body, Barry, the pure Speed Force."
"I...I don't understand."
"You don't need to understand. Shazam and the Weather Wizard will use their ability to manipulate lightning to guide the direction in which you create lightning, while Sinestro and Hal will use the Green Lantern Ring to visualize the channel through which the lightning flows into me, ensuring that the Speed Force being guided won't miss its mark."
"Gorilla Grodd and Turtle Man will ensure that they share the stress during my transformation and prolong my transformation time."
"And you, The Flash, you'll run and create the Speed Force as a living lightning bolt."
"As for me... never mind, let me demonstrate for you first."
Chen Tao walked to a short distance away from the dozens of chairs, and then, under his control, the ceiling opened with a mechanical sound, revealing the not-so-strong morning sunlight.
Then he shouted, "Shazam!"
boom!
A bolt of lightning struck him, and then the Flash stared in shock as Batman's entire appearance changed: he now wore a magic cloak, and a lightning bolt symbol appeared on the Batman logo on his chest.
He lifted his foot, then suddenly flashed into a blur, running around the room like a Speed Force user for over a dozen laps before returning to his original spot.
This left The Flash speechless.
"You...you also possess the Speed Force?"
"Mercury's speed," Chen Tao said, tilting his head and gesturing with his chin towards Shazam and Billy Batson, who were still behind a sealed, soundproof window not far away.
"Shazam shared a portion of his divine power with me, the power of Zeus, the strength of Hercules, and so on. What he shared with me was Mercury's speed, not the wisdom of the great zombie Solomon Grendi."
"So do you understand now? When you team up with Green Lantern Hal and the Weather Wizard to throw the pure Speed Force at me, I will simultaneously shout Shazam to transform and synchronize with Red Death in the same instant."
The Flash tried his best to understand what the other person was saying.
"I need to test how the Red Death Demon reacts when it encounters a large amount of similar power."
Chen Tao said, "Before you got involved, I tried feeding the Red Death with the Speed Force from Gerudo, but he didn't react to it at all, perhaps because the amount was too small."
"Okay," the Flash agreed.
A few minutes later.
"Are you ready?"
"Um."
brush!
With each step the Flash takes, a tremendous Speed Force is generated with each stride.
Barry Allen had already become a blur, creating a golden Speed Force spectacle throughout the plaza.
"Ready!"
As the countdown began, Barry stopped in place, maintaining the throwing motion.
A lightning-fast burst of speed erupted from his fingertips, striking directly at Chen Tao.
The weather wizard, who was already prepared, stretched out his hands and, together with Shazam who was using magic, guided the lightning, trying his best to disperse the living Speed Force that had been completely condensed into a single point.
Sitting in front of Chen Tao, Sinestro and Hal had already used the Green Lantern Ring to construct a huge pipe, the end of which was connected to countless tiny green pipes on Chen Tao's body. This helped to further distribute the lightning that had been scattered by Shazam and the Weather Wizard's basics, injecting it evenly into Chen Tao's body, instead of concentrating it into a single point as it did at the beginning, causing a destructive attack.
Any material would shatter under the impact of the Speed Force; only the Green Lantern Ring's constructs, which are purely products of will, could withstand such an impact.
"Shazam!"
As Chen Tao roared, silvery-white particles condensed on his body almost simultaneously. The gorilla Grud and the turtle man let out wails, spitting blood from their mouths and noses.
While Chen Tao was working with the Red Death Demon, he also synchronized a portion of the Devas. Even with the combined strength of Gerudo and the Turtle Man, they still couldn't completely synchronize the Red Death Demon and the Devas at the same time. Chen Tao's body only grew some bone spurs and keratin layers that only Devas had, but he could still ensure that the experiment would not have any accidents thanks to his super-hard bio-field.
boom!!!!!
A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth. Golden lightning snakes of the Speed Force and the black and red Speed Force belonging to the Red Death Demon intertwined, and bats swirling around the black and red Speed Force screamed all over Chen Tao in an instant! They exploded and kissed each other, emitting hysterical howls!
"What... happened to me?"
Chen Tao lowered his head, and the keratin layer belonging to the ravager was actively dispersed by him, and the gorilla Grud and the turtle man's bodies also relaxed.
He saw his own palm.
One of them was crimson, wreathed in black and red bats. That was the power the Red Death Demon gained after forcing the Speed Force, which could accelerate the aging of others and possessed dark powers that the normal Speed Force could not achieve.
And the other hand...
It is pure gold.
It's golden, as if it's been coated with a layer of shiny gold paint, and just one hand makes you want to get close to it from the bottom of your heart.
"What...what have I become?"
brush!
Before Chen Tao could react, he had almost crashed into the wall while simultaneously balancing Mercury's speed and the two Speed Forces.
Originally, if it were just the Speed Force alone, it wouldn't have caused such a mistake, because the Speed Force accelerates the body and also accelerates the mind, making the whole world appear slower. However, due to the "Mercury Speed," one of Shazam's powers, the overall speed was increased, causing a certain discrepancy between the thought speed and the actual speed.
But Chen Tao quickly got used to this delay, and with a blur, a life-sized mirror appeared in his hand.
Chen Tao appeared in front of the mirror and saw himself wearing an orange and green vest, the same color scheme as the Mirror Master, holding toothpaste and a toothbrush...
Pshaw, isn't this just Mirror Master?!
"????"
Chen Tao roughly pulled the Mirror Master, who had just gotten up from his nap to brush his teeth and was still confused about what was happening, out of the mirror. Then, finally, he saw what he looked like now.
He still retained the appearance of the Red Death Demon, but one side of his body was gold and the other side was red. Pure gold Speed Force and red-black bat Speed Force were wrapped around each half of his body.
"Batman...hohoho..."
Barry Allen tried to help him up, but as soon as he touched Chen Tao's body, he started convulsing uncontrollably.
First, the pure Speed Force from King Deathmask's body merged with the Speed Force from The Flash's body, but in an instant, along with the pure Speed Force came the black and red bat-shaped Bat Speed Force. This force instantly wrapped around Barry's body, turning his eyes red.
"Hehehehehehe..." Barry let out an evil laugh unlike his usual self, exuding a gloomy aura, and then...
Chen Tao realized what was happening and hurriedly tried to withdraw the influence on Barry. In an instant, the red and black bat-like speed forces obediently and quickly faded from Barry's body, restoring Barry's eyes to their original foolish clarity.
Chen Tao looked at the other party's situation thoughtfully.
In other words, using those pure Speed Forces as a bond, could he share the Bat Speed Force with other Speed Force users?
Although Barry only received the treatment for a short time, even in those few seconds, it was clear that the Bat Speed Force would distort the Speed Force user's will, making them more prone to negative emotions...
hiss……
But what if we reversed things, using the Bat Speed Force as a link to transmit and share the pure Speed Force...?
As Chen Tao thought this, he tried to deactivate the Red Death Demon's transformation.
That's right, what follows is the specific content of the experiment he wants to conduct.
He has successfully used the Bat Speed Force to retain the pure Speed Force within himself.
If he were to deactivate his transformation at this moment, would the Speed Force abandon him and leave? Or would a portion of it remain within him?
Buzz! ? ?
As the silvery-white particles engulfed Chen Tao's body, they peeled away the Red Death's outer shell, revealing the true form of Batman inside.
The pure, golden Speed Force seemed a little confused.
Huh? Where am I, a grown man who is compatible with the Speed Force?
I went to great lengths to wash away and reverse the Bat Speed Force that had been tainted by the dark will within him!
I had already filled half of his body!
???
It felt like a seller's photo versus a buyer's photo, but the golden speed force hesitated for a long time before finally entering Chen Tao's body and then stubbornly remaining motionless.
"I succeeded! I finally obtained the Speed Force..." Chen Tao looked down and saw the golden Speed Force leaping and surging in his palm: "My idea was flawless."
He raised his leg, and then with a bang, he moved at high speed as if he were teleporting, crashing into the wall at the edge of the square.
He got up from the ground, clutching his head: "The Speed Force didn't speed up my thinking... or rather, it only accelerated it a little... I need to practice more."
But he was still very excited.
【warn!warn! 】
Just then, Chen Tao saw the long-lost silver-white characters begin to appear on his retina.
