I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 194 In the Speed ​​Force
who am I?
Where am I?

What am I going to do?
When Jacques opened his eyes, he found that the surroundings were dazzling red, and countless golden lightning flashed across the space.

He feels as if he is a part of this space, the concept of "self" is slowly being lost, memory, life and death seem to be unimportant
"Wake up! Wake up Jacques!"

Suddenly, someone patted Jacques on the shoulder vigorously, and as if an electric current had passed through his whole body, Jacques woke up with a jolt, and memories flooded into his mind in an instant.

"I rushed into the Speed ​​Force with the Red Death just now—what happened after that"

Jacques felt a tingling pain in his brain, as if countless messy things were stuffed into his mind, but he couldn't think of anything for a while.

"Don't force yourself to remember, just let it forget itself - the Speed ​​Force has the knowledge to connect all multiverses, if you use the human body to observe it, it will collapse, even in the Speed ​​Force, you can keep yourself from being assimilated to the speed force Part of it takes a lot of willpower."

Hearing this sentence, Jacques gave up and continued to recall, took a deep breath and turned around.

"Then it looks good, I didn't expect my willpower to be quite good."

"Although I don't want to hurt you, I still regret to tell you that if I hadn't helped you stabilize your consciousness in your body, you would have already merged with the Speed ​​Force."

Behind Jacques stood a blond young man with a hearty smile on his handsome sunny face.

Although it is quite different from the previous appearance, Jacques still recognized him at a glance from his energetic and cheerful temperament.

"Thank you, Barry Allen—to be honest, it's kind of weird that I'm talking face to face with the person I just killed here."

Barry shook his head lightly. He was wearing a complete set of tight red battle suit, and he looked completely uninjured, but for some reason, Jacques always felt that his figure was not real.

"You didn't kill me, but redeemed me, Jacques. Originally, I, a nightmare product in the dark multiverse, had no other ending except turning into nothingness. But you sent me into the speed force, Only by allowing me to return to the Speed ​​Force can I become complete and welcome the final destination of every speeder."

And because of Barry's words, Jacques suddenly remembered that he and Barry were not the only ones who came in together.

"Becoming complete? Then the Red Death is also"

"Don't worry, look, he's here."

Following Barry's finger, Jacques looked at the other end of the speed force space, and saw countless metal parts and glass shards floating in that position, and in the center of these shards, there seemed to be a painful and mournful sound. The beast howled.

"I'm going to change everything. I'm going to reverse everything. Speed ​​force the past"

This is a hideous appearance. There is hardly an inch of skin on his body, revealing white bones and damaged muscles and internal organs. Countless black bats appear from his back, like two huge bat wings.

And now the monster was ramming aimlessly, but as if there was some kind of invisible barrier, no matter which direction he came from, he was bounced back.But every time he was hit, his head was bleeding, and even the wound with half of his head sunken could heal quickly.

"The Speed ​​Force represents the power to move forward. It's just that people who can't get rid of the past will not be recognized by the Speed ​​Force. Therefore, he was doomed from the beginning that it would be impossible to realize his idea of ​​changing the past. Even if he is allowed to continue running, There is no possibility of success other than causing the black hole to collapse and destroy the earth."

Barry Allen looked at the Red Death who had completely transformed into an alien with pity and regret, and then sighed softly.

"But even so, he still hasn't been assimilated by the Speed ​​Force, which means—"

"Yes, his obsession is not so easy to resolve. Even though most of his consciousness has been swallowed by the Speed ​​Force, he still has this ugly appearance. There is no difference between me and him."

Jacques was startled, because it wasn't Barry Allen who was beside him who answered his words just now, but another deep and deep voice that made him feel very familiar.

Beside the Red Death, a burly figure in a tight black uniform was slowly walking in the direction of Jacques and Barry.

"Batman?"

Jacques looked at the man in front of him in disbelief. He would not be mistaken. No matter in terms of appearance or temperament, this man was undoubtedly Bruce Wayne himself.

"In a way I was Batman. But I'm not that Earth-52 monster over there, or Batman in that world—in fact, I'm no longer entitled to that title."

Jacques' pupils shrank, and he immediately understood the identity of the other party through these few words.

"You are a killing machine. No, it should be said that Bruce Wayne was assimilated and transformed by the Alfred agreement?"

Although Killing Machine is a ruthless, cruel and violent lunatic.But in fact, he was just a normal Batman before being transformed by Alfred's agreement. He just couldn't let go of Alfred's death.

And what was running in the particle accelerator just now was actually not just the Red Death, but also the killing machine that fused with him, just like Barry's body became complete for some reason after entering the Speed ​​Force, it seems that the killing machine that cuts off emotions Also restored to normal Bruce Wayne personality.

Bruce shook his head slightly to prove Jacques' guess. He turned his head to look at the Red Death who was still making fruitless efforts, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

"I know his actions are absolutely wrong, but I can understand his pain. Unable to let go of the doomed past, and thus cut off the path to the future, this is the tragedy of all our members of the Dark Knights— — By the way, except for the Laughing Bat."

Having said that, Bruce took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at Jacques, with a softer look in his eyes.

"But I'm lucky, thanks to you, you brought me into the Speed ​​Force by the way, and you kind of freed me from that cursed metal body—"

"Bruce, let's talk about these words later. We are running out of time. Even if he has a real body as an anchor, if he stays here for too long, he may never go back."

After the conversation was interrupted by Barry, Bruce nodded slightly, and his face became serious.

"Jacques Chow, when I traveled through the Speed ​​Force, I saw many important things in the endless timeline, so you have to listen carefully to the next thing, remember as much as you can remember-our world has already There's no cure, but at least you can save your world!"
