Simultaneous travel: Starting from returning to the main god space.

Chapter 498 Run, Barry...run! (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking further subscriptions!)

Mrs. Joker... ugh! Of course, Mrs. Wayne didn't want her precious son to see her in this ugly state, so she obediently listened and actively accepted Dr. Wu's meticulous treatment, allowing him to use his double-handed techniques to deeply modify her will, attempting to gradually restore her to the state she was in before becoming the Joker.

But clearly, this is not easy.

As mentioned earlier, the "Joker" is a virus in the DC universe, and to some extent, it can even rise to the level of a meme. If placed in the world of Infinite Terror, it would be comparable to a primordial spiritual treasure, and even a primordial saint would not be able to completely erase it.

Not to mention Wu Xian now, who could easily get himself into trouble if he was not careful. So for now, he can only use the Four Symbols, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams seal to suppress the crazy thoughts growing in Madam Wayne's heart to the greatest extent possible.

Of course, Mrs. Wayne's own reasons may also play a role.

While clowns are certainly terrifying, maternal love is no less so. You can never imagine what a truly great mother would do for her child...

Rumble————! ! !
Blue-white lightning bolts struck down from the perpetually dark clouds over Gotham City, instantly shattering the glass jar containing the chemicals. Flammable substances splattered onto Barry, setting his clothes ablaze.

At the same time, blinding electric light followed the lightning rod and enveloped his entire body, and his skeleton could be vaguely seen flashing, making him look extremely terrifying.

It's unclear how much time passed, but the lightning dissipated, and Barry Allen's figure had vanished.

Just when Thomas Wayne thought he had been reduced to ashes, a golden bolt of lightning flashed in the air, and then Barry Allen appeared before everyone's eyes, completely unharmed.

"Wow, that's fast! Is this the Speed ​​Force?"

Kara, who witnessed the entire process with her super vision, was slightly taken aback. Although she was now very fast and could easily break through Mach 10 times, there was still an absolute gap between her and Barry, who had regained control of the Speed ​​Force.

For example, when the other party moved just now, she could only see a few afterimages, which gave her more confidence and enthusiasm for its ability to travel through time and space.

“You are right, Wu Xian. The future of this world is collapsing. I must stop the other me from this timeline and prevent the birth of the Flashpoint universe from the very beginning.”

Because of the restoration of his Speed ​​Force, Barry finally glimpsed the trajectory of this world's history. He witnessed the tragedy that occurred in Crime Alley, heard the cries of countless wounded in Metropolis, and learned about the tragic experience of Supergirl being used as a guinea pig.

The more this happened, the more guilty he felt, believing it was all his fault and that he had to solve it himself.

"It's good to have this intention, but we also need to pay attention to the methods and approaches. Listen to my arrangements, and perhaps everyone can have a satisfactory ending."

As Wu Xian spoke, he patted Barry on the shoulder in a very serious tone.

"Well, it's all up to you."

Barry nodded emphatically, looking obedient and saying whatever he wanted, which made Wu Xian chuckle.

This is what superheroes are like, especially honest people like Barry. Because of their high moral standards, they feel guilty about their mistakes. When faced with "victims" like them, they are almost always obedient and willing to be tools, as long as the demands are not excessive.

……

An hour later, Barry made a trip to Central City to visit his "resurrected" mother, enjoying the maternal love and family bliss he hadn't felt in years. Then he returned to Gotham City to begin preparing for action according to the plan Wu Xian had specified.

"Uh, Pym particles? Is it like the technology in Atom that allows people to shrink in size?"

Looking at the red liquid in the fingertip-sized glass bottle, the Flash asked curiously—he had never heard of such a thing in the timeline he remembered, so he couldn't help but ask. "Hmm, this is a product of the future world, quite different from Atom's technology."

Wu Xian could spout nonsense without batting an eye.

The Flash was unaware of the existence of Pym Particles. These were samples developed by Wu Xian through research data obtained from Chu Xuan via a mysterious space over the past few years.

Furthermore, because these Pym particles originate from the main god, they are highly applicable. Experiments have shown that they can be used even in the DC universe.

With that, Wu Xian handed Barry a palm-sized crystal box and instructed him:
"Remember, your goal is the time when Bruce was murdered in Crime Alley. After rescuing Bruce, replace him with this fake corpse. Don't linger there. Then take Bruce back to the present time."

That's right, this was Wu Xian's plan: to deceive time and fate through a clever scheme.

Since someone had to die in the Crime Alley that year, he created an identical corpse as a substitute, and then used the Flash and Pym Particles to bring the real Bruce back. This satisfied the plot requirements of the Crime Alley that night without altering the timeline, achieving two goals at once.

Of course, this is also a very dangerous thing. If you are not careful, it could lead to the collapse of the timeline and create a second flash paradox.

But out of guilt, The Flash eventually agreed and decided to cooperate with the plan.

After success, the same method will be used to rescue Kara's cousin, who is the baby Superman, as well as Kara's parents. Finally, the Flash's mother will be rescued, and the timeline will be restored to its original trajectory.

Thinking of this, Barry Allen gripped the small crystal coffin in his hand, feeling immense pressure. He took a deep breath, golden arcs of electricity flickered on his body, and time around him seemed to slow down.

Seeing this, Wu Xian's lips curled up slightly, and then, as if to encourage him, he said in a solemn tone.

"Run, Barry...run!"

Crackling——!
With a flash of electricity, Barry Allen disappeared from their sight—the Speed ​​Force's time travel is different from a time machine; it's based on running at near-light speed, so a running start is necessary.

For The Flash, this is his second time traveling through time.

Just like last time, when he accelerated to his limit and had a strong desire to reach a certain point in time, a bizarre circular tunnel appeared before his eyes.

The next moment, he disappeared from the current point in time and truly entered the realm of the Speed ​​Force.

In this time tunnel where countless lights and shadows, both strange and familiar, flash by, Barry Allen runs with all his might.

His mind began to replay the video of the Wayne family's murder in the crime alley years ago. The strange, irregular light and shadow that had appeared at first slowly became clearer.

Time had lost its meaning here. After an unknown amount of time, Barry Allen finally saw the tunnel exit. The image on the other side of the exit showed a thug firing a gun, about to hit Bruce.
