During Crisis on Infinite Earths, Barry split into three time clones.
But during Crisis on Infinite Earths, only two Barrys came to warn them of what was happening in the antimatter universe.
At that time, Barry lost a lot of time and became old. Luther Jr. also considered finding a third time clone and transferring his time to Barry.
Because the three clones appeared before Barry aged, why didn't she think that Barry No. 3 was not age-matched before?
Crisis on Infinite Earths was seven years ago, so it will be eight years ago.
In the past seven or eight years, Barry Allen has definitely matured. From a young man in his early twenties to a man in his late thirties, the changes are still huge.
Barry No. 3 came from seven years ago, but his age and appearance are the same as the current Barry.
Could it be that when Barry split into his third clone, he had already lost about seven or eight years?
Barry was 23 years old at the time. As he ran around in circles, constantly pulling the Speed Force to disrupt time and space, his age kept "+1". When he was 30 years old, he split into a third clone, which is what she meets now.
of.
"What's wrong?"
Barry watched her expression change several times. He was shocked at first, then gradually became enlightened, and couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart.
"By the way, Harley, you seem to be a little different."
"What's the difference?" Harley asked.
Her appearance has not changed with age.
The second sister's blessing is on the one hand, and the other reason is the time mother river defense expertise.
Not long after the Crisis on Infinite Earths ended, her mother river defense had reached level nine. No matter how hard time passed, it would leave traces on her face.
"The temperament is gentler and more inviting." Barry scratched the back of his head, his cheeks slightly red.
Even more fascinating.
Time has not left any traces on her face, but the years have changed her temperament and look.
Harley frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Barry, I have to save someone in the Speed Force space. Time is urgent. The sooner the better. I need you to take me there. I will tell you the truth after I save the person."
"What truth?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, so you should take me to save people first. After saving people, it doesn't matter even if you collapse." Harley said.
Barry's expression was twisted. Just now, he thought you had gentle eyes, charming temperament, and made people want to get close to you. Why did you turn around and say such callous words?
It doesn't matter if you collapse. Is this what people say?
"Hey, let's go. I'll explain it to you when we get there, and you'll understand naturally."
Harley took his arm, connected to his consciousness with mental power, and directly showed him where she wanted to go through sensory transmission.
Although Barry had 10,000 doubts, 1,000 dissatisfactions and 100 worries in his heart, he still obeyed the instructions of the "golden nuclear bomb" and led her to run with great difficulty.
"You seem to have no energy?" Harley asked doubtfully.
This No. 3 Barry is not only slow, but also extremely weak.
"I am very tired and hungry. I have been detained for more than two months without food or water," Barry said tiredly.
"Wait a minute, sharpen the knife before cutting firewood, and fill your belly first." Harley stopped him, opened her mouth, and with a flash of yellow light, spit out a fragrant earthen jar.
Dozens of brown bacon strips were neatly stacked inside.
"What is this? Why do you have strips of meat?" Barry was a little confused.
"The meat of dragons and beasts from another world makes me the most hungry. I get hungry very quickly on weekdays, so I carry some snacks with me.
Eat quickly, I know you can eat with the speed force and eat a hundred big burgers in an instant." Harley said.
Barry moved his hands so fast that he could only see the afterimage. In two blinks, the jar was empty.
"Hiccup, I'm so full." Barry wiped his mouth, his face full of gluttony.
Harley suddenly remembered something and asked, "You just said that there was a black lightning chasing you. Where has it gone now?"
"I don't know, it has almost caught me. Look -" Barry pointed to his shoulders and the uniform behind him, "My clothes are all torn. If I hadn't been fast, I would have been shot through my chest by it."
Harry glanced sideways at his back. Although the clothes were torn, they were not injured. The skin——
Hey, there is a gray spot on the skin where the clothes are torn, and there is a faint smell of death.
"Why do you call it 'Black Lightning'? By the way, this seems to be the Speed Force space. How did you get in?" Barry asked confused.
"Are you feeling any pain?"
"It doesn't hurt, why do you ask?"
"Where did the Black Lightning go?" Harley asked again.
"Disappeared suddenly." Barry said.
"Did you leave, or something happened?"
"Instead of leaving, it was running and suddenly fell to the ground and turned into nothingness." Barry said.
——Is it because she solved "Black Barry"? But how to calculate this time? Barry's timeline should still be during the Crisis on Infinite Earths
Harley frowned in thought.
"You haven't answered my question yet." Barry said with dissatisfaction.
"I heard you, but now is not the time to answer."
Harley thought for a moment, handed him the Flash ring in her hand, and said, "Try this."
"Hey, what an exquisite design." Barry just got the ring, and it was like meeting an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. He easily touched the switch, and a red suit floated out and was automatically put on him.
The ironing post is extremely smooth, as if it was specially designed for him.
Harley took the jar from his hand, stuffed it back into her throat, and said, "You're full, run away."
"Where did this uniform come from? Why does the ring have my Flash logo on it?" Barry asked confused.
"We'll talk about it later."
"Still waiting? What are you waiting for?" Barry couldn't hide his dissatisfaction.
"Listen to me." Harley said seriously.
Replace Barry with Hal Jordan, who had a bad temper before Zero Hour Crisis, and he will definitely explode now.
But Barry is an honest man. Even if he is angry, he will hold it in his heart and resolutely obey orders.
After running for a while, Harley asked doubtfully: "Aren't you full? Why are you still so slow? Hey, your face is pale, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm probably too tired." Barry said while running and shaking his head.
Harley stared at his back for a while and said, "Don't struggle, let me use the 'thick skin power' to wash your body."
"What to wash?"
"There seems to be an aura of death lingering in your body. It may be that it is eroding your vitality and making you feel exhausted." Harley said.
"I don't understand very well." Barry hesitated for a moment, then slowed down and said, "But I believe you, go ahead."
Harry was very satisfied with his answer and immediately activated all the defensive force fields and pressed his right hand on his shoulder. The divine power flowed to all parts of his body along the meridians and blood vessels, focusing on taking care of the gray spot on his back.
"Well, it's warm and very comfortable." Barry's eyes lit up and his face seemed a little rosier.
However, Harley's expression became particularly solemn. It was not an illusion. There really was a ray of death speed force in his body, and that breath was like a seed, which seemed to be annihilating Barry's vitality and turning life into death.
Is this how Black Lightning came about?
The moment Harley annihilated all the death aura in the gray spots, a sudden change occurred.
"Buzz buzz" Barry couldn't help but stop, his body began to vibrate at a high frequency, his figure gradually blurred in her eyes, and would disappear completely in the next moment.
"Ah, Harley, I, I seem to be squeezed out of this Speed Force space."
Harley was still confused, but Barry shouted with understanding.
"Shit!" Harley exclaimed, and hurriedly stuffed the "Seven Years Truth Information Package" she had prepared into his mind in the form of mental communication.
"This is the truth, you'd better not reply-"
——Don’t go back to the “present”, and don’t go to the “past” when he disappeared. Just find a timeline universe of “nothingness” in the river of time, and end the rest of your life.
But before she finished her warning, Barry suddenly disappeared.
Harley stood there, her face changing several times, and finally gritted her teeth and continued to shout "Barry" while running towards the location detected.
Before clone No. 3 Barry suddenly went offline, they had walked hand in hand and completed 90% of the distance, and she was very close to that location.
At the same time, in the antimatter universe, inside the planet Kovad.
Scarlet antimatter energy gathers from all directions in the universe, forming a sea of antimatter energy with extremely high energy density.
At its core stands a tall red to black shadow.
The anti-monitoring king once again entered a state of resurrection.
"Who dares to distort my timeline?!" He suddenly roared: "Do you think I can't even protect my 'past' after losing my body?"
"Boom~~~" Along with his roar, the black-red antimatter energy sea shook violently.
The huge energy fluctuations caused the nearby space and time to begin to bend and break.
The silvery mother river of time is vast and vast, spanning the place where time begins and ends.
In the autumn of 2020, at this moment, a ray of scarlet flows into the silver mother river of time. The scarlet is like a swimming snake, going upstream until the scarlet pauses for a moment in the winter of 2013. This is the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Further ahead is the river section of the "previous era".
In the timeline of the single universe, there is a "dashed line" that has not actually happened and a "solid line" that has actually been experienced.
But every section on the mother river of time is the true history of the multiverse.
Even though the time mother river of version 0 started at the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths (when Harley restarted the multiverse), the previous river sections still recorded the true history of the multiverse of version 0.
Scarlet crossed the "epoch change point" and came to the timeline before the Crisis on Infinite Earths. It continued to spread for a short period, and finally caught the ant that dared to distort his life.
"Flash? Die!"
The black and red shadow flew towards Barry who was running wildly.
"Omag, it's the Anti-Monitor. I touched the timeline of the Anti-Monitor? But isn't he dead now? He was made into a lamp furnace by the Black Death Emperor." Barry looked back, horrified.
And doubtful.
He was forcibly expelled from the Speed Force space and fell into the mother river of time.
If he is in a normal state, even if he falls into the mother river of time, he can go down the river to the future; or he can go upstream and go back to the past; or he can follow the mother river of time and enter the timeline of the main universe and return to the current time.
Dot's main universe.
But Harley stuffed too much information into his head when she left.
He was dizzy for a moment and could only float in the mother river of time to digest the information.
Harley explained her guess about his status, but she wasn't sure.
She also roughly recounted the major and minor events that occurred in the past seven years.
When he woke up, he realized that he had returned to 2013 - which should theoretically be his "present" time.
At this point in time, it was the most intense moment of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, and countless heroes and people died tragically at the hands of the Shadow Demon.
As soon as Barry had the idea of what to do, a terrifying sense of crisis hit his heart, and then a huge black and red shadow rushed towards him.
He had a premonition that if he was caught by it, he would die.
Barry didn't want to die, so he had no choice but to run.
As the black and red shadow gradually approached, he also felt the familiar antimatter breath.
He figured out the identity of his pursuer.
"But isn't the Anti-Monitor dead?"
What is chasing behind him is the existence that wants his life. He can only survive if he runs faster than "death".
His speed once again exceeded time, but the black and red demonic shadow did not disappear, it was still approaching.
Before being caught by Shadow Demon, Barry broke through the time and space barrier and saw Bruce who seemed to be dozing.
In an instant, he thought of a lot.
He shouted: "Bruce, listen to me, Harley is right, she is always right"
Barry has already had a premonition of his ending - being completely wiped out of existence by the black and red demon.
From the moment he returned to 2013 and returned to the time when Anti-Monitor was destined, no matter what he did, it was tantamount to distorting the facts that had happened. He interfered with the Anti-Monitor's timeline, which was intolerable to Anti-Monitor.
He could not escape this time, but before he died, he met his old friend Bruce Barry. He was unable to change his own fate and could only try his best to change his friend's tragic fate.
Harley has told him everything about her identity crisis and Omac's crisis.
He sincerely hoped Bruce could avoid those tragedies.
As long as Bruce listens to Harley's advice and doesn't mess with "brainwave gene technology", the Omac incident will not happen, millions of innocent people will not die tragically because of him, and Bruce will not be trapped in a trap that he cannot escape because of the deaths of millions of people.
abyss of regret.
"Harry is always right. I have been to the future and I know everything. If you don't believe it, you can verify it for yourself - tomorrow afternoon you will be arranged by Harley to ride on a pony. Remember, don't do this. Don't do it.
Beyond my capabilities—ahhh—"
Through a barrier of time and space, Bruce could hardly hear what he was shouting.
He wanted to reach out and pull him, but he only pulled back an empty Flash uniform.
"Harry is always right? Don't say anything tomorrow?"
In 2013, Bruce looked at the Flash uniform in his hand, feeling confused and disapproving.
"The saying 'Harley is always right' is wrong in itself. No one can avoid making mistakes. But this uniform." He decided to ask Barry to find out tomorrow.
Don't blame Bruce for only half-listening to his words.
Barry has the Speed Force. He habitually uses the Speed Force to think about problems. His thoughts can rotate hundreds of millions of times faster than ordinary people. He can also use the Speed Force to eat, go to the toilet, and speak.
As he said before, in his anxiety and desperation, he used some speed powers to speed up his thinking and shouting.
If Harley were here, she would definitely be able to hear it clearly.
It's not easy for Bruce to hear the key sentence "Harry is always right."
If he listened to Barry honestly, he would really change his life.
But even Barry, who wanted to help him change his destiny, was just a small wave temporarily splashing into the air in the river of destiny.
"Holyshit!"
Looking at the high wall in front of her, Harry was stunned and stunned.
The Speed Force is not a specific speed, it is the sum of all speeds.
Just like the fear of the yellow light, Sinestro uses the energy of the yellow light to stir up the universe, and the gangsters on a certain street on the earth use intimidation to snatch the lollipops from children. They are essentially the same, they are all using the power of fear.
Barry's Speed Force only makes him faster. The Speed Force is not a necessary condition for moving in the Speed Force space. As long as Harley has "speed", she can also run in the Speed Force space.
After Barry, who was suspected of being the time clone of No. 3, left, Harley continued to move towards the target. She ran one foot deep and one foot shallow for a while, and gradually got some tips. Her movements became more and more flexible, and she even started to trigger quantum displacement. Her speed was faster than the last time.
It increased hundreds of times in the beginning.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she bumped into a strange space that was transparent and elastic, like jelly, with a surface as tough as rubber and an interior as thick as glue.
Only the ninth-level speed force field was activated, but she still couldn't break into it. She squeezed half of her body into it, which was very difficult.
Later, with the addition of the ninth-level death defense specialty, it became smooth again.
After passing through the thick, transparent wall, Harley was stunned.
In front of her is a huge curtain that cannot be seen from the top, cannot be seen from the bottom, and has no limits on the left and right sides.
The reason why it is a curtain rather than a wall is because it is like a curtain in the wind, with waves rippling on its surface.
Like a piece of cloth, not a solid and stable wall.
And on the black curtain, there are also gems in gold, silver, red and other colors.
What shocked her was not the size of the curtain, but the fact that all of those "jewels" were speedsters!
They were like the suffering Jesus, with their hands stretched out, feet together, and their heads drooped. They were sewn on the curtain like gems, and their bodies flashed with electric arcs that were the color of their speed force during life.
There is also a vortex on the black curtain behind them, which seems to suck them tightly to the curtain, and also seems to absorb the tiny arcs of electricity jumping on them.
"Barry, Jay, Swann you guys"
Within Harley's field of vision, she was shocked to see one, two, or three hundreds of Barry Allens, dozens or hundreds of Reverse Flashes, and more than a dozen old Flash Jays.
Barry's body flashes with golden and red electric arcs, reverse lightning is dark red, and Jay prefers gold.
These arcs are their divine speed force, but at this time they are like the flickering brilliance of "jewels", becoming the embellishment of the huge curtain.
Even though they are all Barry Allen, Harley can clearly tell the difference between most of the "Barries".
There are differences in age, temperament, some scars on Barry's face and body, and differences in uniforms and sense of time. Not only do they come from different time points, but 80% of them come from different parallel universes.
In addition to three acquaintances, there were even more unfamiliar speedsters.
Not only speedsters, Harley even saw several Iris, some black and some white.
"Farke, is this the real Wall of Speed Force?!"
Harley had seen many big scenes and should have been calm about them, but the countless scenes of Barry hanging the curtains were beyond her imagination.
"Harry, help!"
In the midst of shock, her sea of consciousness suddenly received a weak cry for help.
The voice is very familiar.
Harley was shocked and quickly responded: "Fat Head? Where are you?"
