Chapter 434 The Strange Speedster
Earth.
At the end of the day, Batman entered the Watchtower Space Station through the teleportation device. Now there are only Cyborg in the end of the world and a person he doesn't know at all.
The stranger wore a uniform very similar to Firestorm's, but had a skull head, and the top of his head was also burning with flames.
"Batman?" Cyborg said in surprise.
The two Batmans are easy to identify. The Justice League Batman's armor has a very smooth industrial feel, while the Doomsday Batman's Batsuit is just a sophisticated body armor, and Cyborg will not mistake it.
"Cyborg, who is this?" Doomsday Batman frowned. This new guy doesn't look like a good guy!
Cyborg explained for him: "This one is the helper The Flash brought back from another world, Deathstorm, uh... He is very similar to Firestorm's Ability."
Deathstorm ignored them completely. In his mind, apart from scientific research, only Dane and Batman from the Justice League were worthy of his distraction.
The former is his Boss, and the latter is the financial backer. This time, he also came to this world at the invitation of Batman [he still doesn't know what the other party wants him to do yet.
However, Deathstorm still raised his head and took a closer look at the Batmans in this world. They were indeed, as others said, almost exactly the same.
At the end of the day, Batman's heart moved, "Did he come through the cosmic treadmill?"
Although The Flash can travel through time and space wearing a shuttle suit, the shuttle suit is originally a consumable item, and its durability is much inferior to that of a space treadmill.
Moreover, the cosmic treadmill originally has the function of locating the universe. It is usually difficult for The Flash to distinguish the differences at first glance in any universe or parallel world he has visited.
And The Flash needs a beacon to find a specific world, otherwise the world he runs into is completely random, with countless parallel universes. Once it becomes a random time travel, he is likely to lose his way during a certain run, and then be killed. Trapped in some parallel world that he doesn't even know he has.
But the cosmic treadmill can help The Flash record the world it is currently traveling through, and establish spatial coordinates and location files.
In this way, the worlds that have traveled through in the past are equivalent to being inserted into a position. The Flash does not need to search again. It can directly set the position on the cosmic treadmill and run directly back to the parallel world that it has recorded.
The reason why The Flash can travel back and forth between two different parallel worlds at will without running the wrong way depends on the recording function of the cosmic treadmill.
And this is also the goal of Batman in the end. If he destroys this treadmill, it will be difficult for the Justice League to leave this world in a short time.
This gives his master Darkseid enough time to slowly deal with these superheroes.
Cyborg was a little surprised by Batman's question, but he still nodded: "Yes, this thing is really convenient. I think instead of calling it a treadmill, it is more appropriate to call it a cosmic elevator. It can directly transport people point-to-point."
Cyborg was full of praise for the design idea of the cosmic treadmill. With this thing, Barry Allen's Speed Force becomes a fully controllable Ability, and can be used to build communication bridges between different worlds.
He is already beginning to imagine the possibility of establishing a multiverse alliance. He is not as paranoid as Batman, so he hopes to establish deeper communication with the Justice League. The cosmic treadmill is a very important tool in this communication.
"But is it safe? Cyborg, have you checked that machine."
"Definitely." Batman's paranoia did not arouse Cyborg's suspicion, "I checked that treadmill with another Batman to make sure it would be very safe in the watchtower.
That thing is in the watchtower!
Doomsday Batman got this very useful information, and all that was left was to find its specific location, which was not difficult for him.
So he nodded to Cyborg and entered the watchtower.
Cyborg felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell where the strangeness came from. Under the urging of the death storm, he could only temporarily put aside the little doubts in his heart and get back to work.
After Batman walked into the watchtower at the end of the world, he began to search for the whereabouts of the cosmic treadmill.
Unlike the other world, this watchtower space station was actually a product of Wayne Group in the beginning. Although it was later transformed by Apocalypse star technology, the basic layout has not actually changed.
Therefore, the original function cabins are basically still there. As long as you deduce what will be placed in each cabin based on its function, you can easily deduce the location of the cosmic treadmill.
At the end of the day, Batman discovered the cosmic treadmill in the energy room. In order not to be discovered by Cyborg, he also deliberately activated the electronic virus on Cyborg.
Cyborg thought that Atlantis had completely eliminated the virus that time, but he didn't know that Batman actually put more than one kind of bug on him, and some of them could be used in combination. He even didn't need to install some mother boxes just in case. scientific and technological achievements.
It is hard to say whether Cyborg can discover them, let alone remove them.
Since the cosmic treadmill is installed in an energy power room, the best way to destroy this machine is naturally to overload it and cause its internal circuits to be scrapped due to overload of electricity.
Although blowing it up is also a way, this is in space, and Batman is not stupid enough to do that.
He stepped forward to start the machine and activated the energy chamber to recharge the cosmic treadmill.
According to the function of the cosmic treadmill, this step can be omitted, because The Flash is originally the largest power source, and when he runs on the treadmill, he will generate the speed force. Only when the cosmic treadmill is connected to the speed force, it will Only in this way can we connect to other parallel universes and lead people above to other worlds.
This is how it should be.
Five minutes after Batman started the machine at the end of the world, he suddenly felt something was not right, and some lightning from the void began to appear around the cosmic treadmill.
Generally speaking, when this phenomenon occurs, it is only possible that The Flash is present, but Doomsday Batman clearly confirmed repeatedly before coming that the two The Flashs are currently busy on the earth, and there is no way they can appear here.
If not the two of them, then who would it be?
At the end of the day, Batman backed away slightly and secretly held three batarangs in his palm.
Under his gaze, the recharged cosmic treadmill not only did not fail due to overload, but began to operate normally, as if there was really The Flash running on the treadmill.
Although Batman's idea of doomsday is very good, it is obvious that he does not fully understand the working principle of the cosmic treadmill, otherwise he would not start it so hastily...
The role of the cosmic treadmill is destined to be a unique machine, which not only exists in the present, but also exists in the past and future.
On the same timeline, if other speedsters use this treadmill, it is possible to travel through time under the influence of the Speed Force.
So even if there is no one on the cosmic treadmill now, it does not mean that no one is using it. For example, if a speedster from the future finds out that no one is using the cosmic treadmill at the current time, but the treadmill is running, there will be Possibly taking this opportunity to occupy an empty spot on the treadmill, allowing him to enter the current time from his own point in time.
In order to prevent this from happening, Dane specifically warned everyone in the Alliance when he was building the cosmic treadmill that he was not allowed to run the machine when there was no speedster standing on the treadmill, so as not to create a gap in time that could be taken advantage of by others.
The doomsday Batman does not know this, and now, with the treadmill idling, speedsters at other points in time have discovered the emptiness of this time, so someone is preparing to use this emptiness to enter the current time.
At some point, a vague figure appeared on the originally empty treadmill. Doomsday Batman squinted his eyes and felt that this figure was somewhat similar to Barry Allen.
Is it another world or The Flash in another timeline? 1
But no matter which one came, Doomsday Batman couldn't expose himself. He took out the batarang from the tactical bag on his waist and threw it with a flick of his hand.
The Batarang flies into the cosmic treadmill. The closer it is to the figure in the center of the treadmill, the slower its speed becomes until it is very close to that figure. "The Batarang is as if it is stuck in the air.
"That's not friendly at all, Batman."
Batman was shocked at the end of the world. This voice definitely did not belong to Barry Allen!
The Cosmic Treadmill does not limit the user's identity. As long as he can use the Speed Force, anyone can use the Cosmic Treadmill. This means that the person who takes advantage of 5.4 and enters the current time may not be The Flash himself, but may also be someone else. Speedster.
But this also shows that in the future, the person using the cosmic treadmill may not necessarily be The Flash.
A yellow hand appeared from the cosmic treadmill, and he gently grabbed the batarang in his hand.
Then, a man wearing a yellow uniform with a lightning logo tattooed on his chest like The Flash's uniform walked out.
In his eyes, the flying darts thrown by Batman were as slow as standing still, but this man did not underestimate the Batman in front of him because of this. He knew that Batman was a dangerous figure in the Justice League.
"Who are you?" Doomsday Batman took a step back and stared at the person.
The uniform worn by this man is almost exactly the same as Barry Allen, but the color scheme is completely reversed. His whole body is yellow, but the lightning logo is red, which looks a bit evil.
"You don't know me yet?" The man pointed and played with the batarang, and then said to Batman calmly: "I have many names, some people call me Swan, some people call me 'Professor Speed', but I am more I like people to call me..."
"Reverse Flash!".
