Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Kevin does have a way to save Barry's mother.

But it's just a conjecture. Whether it can succeed depends on Barry's operation.

Without betraying Barry, Kevin took him back to the DC world and then said to him:

"My method is actually only in a theoretical state. If I want to complete my theory, there is a crucial prerequisite, that is, you can take people through time and space."

"..."

"But obviously, you can't."

Kevin spread his hands and said helplessly.

Barry's speed force is very powerful, and when used to its extreme, he can travel through time and space.

But he only has speed and doesn't have any other abilities except speed.

Therefore, Barry may be able to save people at extreme speeds and run with them, but he cannot take people through time and space.

As for the method proposed by Kevin, the key to completing it lies in whether Barry can take people back and forth in time and space.

If you can't do it...

Although it's not impossible, the problem is that Barry's mother has been dead for too long. The longer the interval, the more changes there will be.

Well, actually the method proposed by Kevin comes from a certain anime about time travel.

It was mentioned in it that in order to save someone who must die on the timeline, one needs to deceive the timeline and the entire world.

To explain it in simpler terms, it is to let the person who is supposed to die deceive everyone by pretending to be dead, making everyone think that person is dead.

Kevin's idea was to use magic to create a substitute similar to Barry's mother Nora, and die in Barry's mother's place, so that people at that time had already confirmed the death of Barry's mother Nora.

Afterwards, Barry took Nora alive and returned to his future from the past to complete an act of deceiving the timeline.

After briefly explaining his thoughts to Barry, Kevin said:

"If you can't take people through time, it's useless even if I try to help you."

"…I…probably understand what you mean."

After listening to what Kevin said, Barry quickly understood the key:

"To complete your method, the key point is not whether I can take people through time, but that during the time when my mother originally died, no one can know that my mother is still alive!"

"Yes, but your mother, Nora, has been dead for too long. A year or two is okay. It is a span of nearly twenty years. No one can guarantee that no one will discover her."

"I will find a way to do this. Thank you Kevin. No matter whether I succeed or not, you will always be my benefactor."

Barry finally thanked Kevin seriously.

The method Kevin said is indeed not easy to succeed, but this is at least a direction, a direction that Barry has never thought of before.

With a goal, Barry at least knows what he should do. He doesn't have to face the difficult choice of 'creating a flash point' or 'seeing his mother die'.

Regardless of whether he succeeds in the future, at least he has tried hard.

Listening to Barry thanking him, Kevin's expression remained unchanged. At the end, he seriously asked Barry:

"You can only use my method once at most. It will be useless if it is used too many times, so you must succeed once, do you understand?"

"…I see."

"It's good to know, oh, by the way, one last thing, you haven't forgotten the reason why you came to this world, right?"

Kevin suddenly asked.

By 'this world' he means the world of Flashpoint.

Barry recalled: "When I was traveling through time and space, I was attacked by a person..."

"Then do you still remember what he looks like?"

"I don't remember much, I just remember... he seemed to be wearing blue... WTF!?"

Before Barry could finish speaking, he saw Kevin taking out a blue tight-fitting uniform from nowhere.

The uniform looks very similar to Barry's hero suit. The difference is that Barry's hero suit is gold and red, while the hero suit in front of him is silver and blue.

Of course, if it was just a uniform, Barry wouldn't be so surprised.

What really shocked Barry was that when he saw the uniform in front of him, he instantly recalled that the person who attacked him seemed to be wearing the uniform in front of him!

"Time is closed, you know."

Kevin smiled and handed the uniform to Barry.

Because of Kevin's participation in the Flashpoint world, Barry in the Flashpoint world did not become Dark Flashpoint, nor did he enter the Bowl of Time to punch Barry.

So basically, Barry shouldn't exist in the Flashpoint world.

But Barry is still there, and Kevin heard him say that he fell out of the bowl of time after being punched, and came from the original timeline to the Flashpoint timeline.

Without Dark Lightning, who else would punch Barry?

Kevin thought hard, and finally realized that maybe it was Barry himself who punched Barry.

Because in order to complete the closed loop of time and stabilize all this cycle, someone must 'send' Barry into this world.

Except in the Marvel Universe, Kevin cannot time travel in other worlds, so in order to complete the final time closure, he needs to rely on the speedster.

It seems that Barry doesn't want to meet his other self, so the final job of sending him to this universe can only rely on Barry himself.

After taking away the blue suit from Kevin, Barry remembered and asked:

"Then if that's the case, did I come to this world first and meet you, or did you let me complete the time loop first and then bring me to this world..."

"None of this is important. The moment the time closure is completed, the cycle has been completed, with no beginning and no end."

Like an ouroboros, the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning.

Barry nodded in understanding, and then made a starting gesture, preparing to go back to the past.

But before going back to the past, Barry still asked Kevin:

"Can we meet again in the future?"

"I don't know, but I think it will be, I just don't know when that day will come."

Kevin answered.

As long as Kevin continues to move up the skill tree, he will one day master the secret of traveling through time and space. At that time, Kevin will be able to choose what kind of world he wants to go to, and maybe he will be able to meet Barry again.

"If you go to my world in the future, I will introduce you to Bruce and the others."

"Sounds pretty exciting."

Kevin smiled and patted Barry on the back: "Okay, it's time for you to go."

"goodbye."

"goodbye."

Barry said goodbye to Kevin, put on a blue uniform, took a deep breath and started running to warm up.

No one knows whether he can successfully change the past when he goes back this time.

Even Barry himself knows nothing about the future he wants to change.

But unlike before, Barry now has hope, but no one knows whether this hope is good or bad.

Kevin can only wish him from the bottom of his heart that he can achieve his wish, that's all. Other than that, Kevin can't do anything else.

After all, until now, Kevin has not figured out the mystery of time and space.

Crackling.

A burst of golden-red electricity flashed, and Barry turned into a bolt of lightning in front of Kevin's eyes and rushed into the distance.

It wasn't until Barry's figure completely disappeared at the end of the road that Kevin retracted his gaze and raised his hand to look at the watch in his hand.

Barry went to save his mother Nora, and Kevin had to do his own thing.

The first thing that needs to be understood is the runes during time travel.

Before this, Kevin knew nothing about space and how the skill tree worked.

But after that, through the inspiration of the Ancient One Master, who personally came into contact with the chaotic space to create his own space skills, Kevin vaguely understood the principle of skill tree traversal.

The most important thing is indeed the magic pattern.

When Kevin was traveling through time, the vast expanse of white that appeared in front of his eyes was actually runes emitting light.

Because there are too many runes, and they are so dense that it is frightening, and the light emitted is too dazzling, it makes people think that it is a piece of white.

In fact, as long as Kevin has the ability to distinguish everything there, he can see the runes hidden in it.

If Kevin has space-based skills and an understanding of space-related magic patterns, he can even copy some space-related magic patterns.

Just like it is now.

"What a complicated magic pattern..."

Kevin turned over his watch and frowned as he looked at the magic lines on it that were less than a micron when placed together.

The function of the magic pattern he had attached to the watch before was to copy the magic pattern it came into contact with on it.

No one in this world except Kevin can use the magic pattern system, so this watch will not play its original role except when traveling through space.

And when Kevin travels through space to another world, the watch will start to automatically copy the magic patterns it comes into contact with, that is, everything that is white in Kevin's eyes.

Of course, there are too many magic patterns there, and it is certainly impossible to copy them all with just one watch.

But Kevin doesn’t need to copy everything, he just needs to copy a part to give him a research direction.

Now that the watch has completed the task of copying the magic patterns, Kevin can finally see the full picture of those white runes when traveling through time and space.

But for Kevin now, seeing these magic patterns is the same as not seeing them.

Because he couldn't figure out what those magic patterns on it were for.

He could only figure out a small part of it related to space. When the portal was made, several similar magic patterns seemed to have appeared.

But it's of no use.

By comparing similar magic patterns, anyone can know that these magic patterns are related to space, and Kevin can also create these magic patterns through copying.

But how to arrange and combine them into a space passage that can allow people to travel through the world, Kevin really has no idea.

But...Kevin can take his time on this issue. Compared with this, Kevin has more important things to deal with.

The problems in the black robe world must be solved as soon as possible.

………

Outside Mallory's villa.

Butcher stood outside the villa, looking at Rebecca and Ryan who were receiving psychological counseling in the villa, and suddenly sighed.

Mallory beside him handed him a cup of coffee and asked:

"Still thinking about Kevin?"

"I didn't understand what he was trying to do, then and now. I thought I could understand him."

Butcher said with a frown.

Through contact with Kevin, Butcher thought he could understand him. At least judging from the information he got from another Huey, Kevin was not the kind of person who would act recklessly.

After all, the other Huey regards Kevin as a hero and respects him so much that he is like a star-struck fan girl.

Butcher didn't know Kevin, at least he knew Huey.

If in another world, the relationship between Butcher's peers and Huey is still good, then what Butcher sees in Huey will not be too wrong.

Huey thinks this way and thinks Kevin is a hero, but the other self's failure to correct Huey's thoughts proves that the other self thinks the same way in his heart.

Kevin is a hero.

A real hero.

Perhaps Butcher had not thought so, but at least in his subconscious, he had similar thoughts.

Therefore, what Kevin is doing now makes it difficult for Butcher to understand Kevin.

It's not like something a hero would do.

"Looking on the bright side, at least we have a trump card against Walter."

"You mean Ryan?"

Mallory disagreed, and Butcher knew she wasn't talking about Rebecca, but Rebecca's son Ryan.

Mallory said softly:

"The Walter Group values ​​the child Ryan very seriously, otherwise it would not have spent manpower and material resources to build such a large 'retreat' for them."

"So? Are you going to let this child also come forward to testify against Walter? Testify that the motherland forced Rebecca?"

Butcher looked at Mallory coldly.

Rebecca is back, and his wife is back with him, which is a good thing for Butcher no matter what the process is.

His hatred was diluted a bit because of this. Compared with his motherland, Butcher did not want his wife Rebecca to be harmed.

Going to court to testify against the people of the motherland is equivalent to uncovering Rebecca's scars and exposing things they are unwilling to face.

so……

Butcher was reluctant to have Rebecca appear in court, including her son.

"With Wogelbaum not agreeing to appear in court, we have no other option."

Mallory sighed to Butcher.

It is not safe enough for the Lamplighter to appear in court alone to prove the illegal things done by the Watt Group.

For a group as big as Watt Group, their team of lawyers is also the best in the world. A single witness, a former hero who quit the Seven, cannot completely defeat Watt.

So in order to make this accusation more solid, Mallory went to Wagbaum, the former chief scientific officer of Vought Group.

As a senior executive of the Vought Group and the nominal adoptive father of the people of the motherland, Wagbaum knows more about the shady story of the Vought Group that others don't know.

If Wagbaum can appear in court, the Vought Group will really be defeated by them.

Unfortunately, Wagbaum declined Mallory's invitation.

Mallory had no choice but to settle for Rebecca and Ryan, who were brought back by Kevin.

Of course Mallory didn't know what Kevin's purpose was in bringing Rebecca and her son back, but it had to be said that his approach was advantageous to Mallory.

From this point of view, it seems that Mallory still wants to thank him.

"..."

Just after listening to Mallory's words, Butcher stood up and left without saying a word.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to have Wagbaum appear in court."

"We don't have time. The court will be held this afternoon."

"Don't worry, I'm very efficient. One morning is enough."

After Butcher finished speaking, he left the villa regardless of Mallory.

With Butcher's methods, if he can really get Wagbaum to help, it really doesn't take a day, or even a morning, he can do it in an hour, dozens of minutes, or ten minutes. all of these.

Mallory knew Butcher could do it because he was a gun she had raised.

No one knows how to use this gun better than she does.

Watching Butcher leave the villa, before Mallory could walk back to the villa, she saw a blue portal opening next to her.

Mallory stopped and looked at the other end of the portal.

In the dark cabin, Kevin's figure walked out.

"came back?"

Mallory put his hands into the pockets of his windbreaker and turned to look at Kevin, especially at the portal several times:

"Is this your new ability? I have never seen a superhuman with so many abilities like you. Are you really a superhuman?"

Mallory questioned.

She has seen a lot of superhumans. There are superhumans who go to heaven and earth, there are superhumans who can grow big and small, and there are also superhumans who can turn their bodies into metal or other things.

But Mallory has never seen several completely unrelated superhuman beings with superpowers that have no connection with each other in one person.

Even if he is a native of the motherland, most of his superpowers come from his body, unlike Kevin, who can control water and fog.

Now you can even teleport through space.

"Maybe I am the real god?"

Kevin, who came out of the portal, said to Mallory half-jokingly, but he smiled as soon as he finished speaking:

"Okay, just kidding, I just have more derivative abilities, and it's not important. The court is going to be held this afternoon, right?"

"Yes, if nothing else happens, Walter will definitely not be able to turn around this time."

"Really? Then I'll give you some more crucial evidence."

Kevin said, throwing a small video recorder to Mallory, along with some files contained in file bags.

Mallory took the video recorder and the file bag and asked:

"What is this?"

"You should be able to guess it. Take a look yourself. I'm going to take a break. Call me when the court starts."

Kevin said, and walked into the villa.

Mallory was left alone in the yard.

Looking at Kevin's back, Mallory first opened the file bag to look at the files on it, and then quickly opened the video recorder given by Kevin to look at the contents inside.

Then, Mallory smiled.

It was a very relieved smile, and a very happy smile.

If the evidence of the lamplighter and Vogelbaum could not really bring down the Water Group.

Then the things Kevin gave her now can be sure that the Water Group will definitely fall into the abyss!

And make them unable to turn over forever!
