The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1093

"Let's use a simple analogy. Let's say we define the world you came from as A, and the world you want to return to as B."

As Yang Le spoke, he used the projection system in the Hall of Justice to draw a straight line and placed points A and B on opposite ends of the line.

“However, it seems the person who built the time machine made a mistake.” Yang Le scratched his head. “I don’t know whether to say he was too talented or just too lucky.”

"Simply put, this is not a simple time travel machine. It doesn't take you from point A to point B. Instead, it takes you into our universe."

As Yang Le spoke, he drew a branch on the line between points A and B, and marked point C at the end.

"Bart, you may not have noticed, but you have actually done a lot of things that can change the future, such as letting Barry know in advance that you will have a son and a daughter."

Yang Le tapped his chin lightly and said, "You may think this is nothing, but the famous butterfly effect is nothing more than the result of a butterfly flapping its wings."

"Let me break it down for you. If you hadn't come today, Robin and the others would have gone to training, and Flash would have been on patrol duty. According to Hawkman, who was filling in for you in Central City, he just arrested five bank robbers."

"Under your influence, so many people have had their lives altered. Don't you think that's a big deal?"

Yang Le's explanation left Bart in a state of shock, something that neither Flash nor Robin, who had previously reprimanded him, had managed to do.

"It seems that your desire to return from the future to the present is not just to see your younger grandfather."

Batman frowned. He realized that Bart Allen was hiding something, and that the matter was probably quite related to the Flash himself.

“Tell me the truth, Barry,” Barry said, putting his hand on his grandson’s shoulder to comfort him. “I can see you’re carrying a lot on your shoulders. Tell us and we can all help you.”

“Alright.” Bart remained silent for a moment before speaking again. “Actually, my grandfather died before my father and aunt were even born.”

The Flash awkwardly lowered his arm and said, "This is really not good news."

"According to historical records, a supervillain named Neutron released the nuclear energy within his body in Central City. Due to his misjudgment, The Flash tried to use the Speed ​​Force to move the about-to-explode Neutron to the desert, but he was killed by the nuclear explosion on the way."

"This explosion not only caused the death of The Flash himself, but also caused the direct or indirect deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in Central City. As a result, the reputation and status of the Justice League plummeted, and even the United Nations withdrew all the rights granted to the Justice League."

"While the superheroes were unable to carry out their activities smoothly, the Reach insectoids secretly carried out their plans and finally conquered the Earth a year later."

"At this time, the Justice League wanted to gather its strength to launch a counterattack, but its location was exposed by a spy planted by the Reach Zerg in the League, and it was almost wiped out."

"By the time of my birth, the names of superheroes had been almost forgotten on Earth, and all the humans had become slaves of the Reach."

“Batman is right. The reason I want to go back in time is to save my grandfather and change all of this, so that that future won’t happen.” Bart’s expression and tone conveyed a deep sense of helplessness; no one had expected this child to be carrying so much burden.

Just as the Flash was about to comfort this grandson from another universe, the alarm in the Hall of Justice went off.

The alarm had barely sounded a few times when Batman connected to the communication that came with the alarm, and everyone saw Hawkman's face.

"This is Hawkman. In front of the Flash Museum in Central City, the supervillain Neutron has gone out of control. He has already caused a small explosion, and we don't know when it will cause a second one."

The projected image shows that there is a sea of ​​fire behind Hawkman, and the situation is obviously not optimistic.

Bart's entire demeanor changed upon hearing this news, as he saw it as a pivotal moment that would shape the future.

"As I said before, Bart should have come from a parallel universe of our universe. The two universes are on the same track in many ways, including time points that can change the future."

"But whether it's because Bart isn't from the future of our universe, or because of the special nature of the Speed ​​Force, even though he spoiled the future, we weren't affected at all."

Yang Le looked at Barry and said, "To be honest, all that Bart said just now probably doesn't have as much impact on the future as the Golden Vanguard telling you that Bart is really your grandson."

After all, Golden Vanguard is a genuine native from the future. It's just that his situation is somewhat special, so staying in the present won't have any impact on the future. Moreover, few people know that Golden Vanguard has actually been doing his work alone all along.

There was nothing he could do; no one could help him. Even Yang Le could only get involved in Golden Vanguard's work when he became the Clock King. However, Yang Le was afraid of getting entangled with this frivolous guy, Golden Vanguard, so he hadn't bothered with him.

"But then again, since a neutron event has also occurred here, it means that if Bart hadn't come, the Flash would probably have really died."

"In other words, the things that Barth said would happen in the future will also happen in our universe. So, the future Barth in our universe may also have gone to the past that Barth really wanted to return to because of the shuttle's error."

Yang Le connected the points B and C that he had drawn. Although his words were a bit convoluted, everyone present could understand what he was saying.

"That means Bart over there is working hard, so we need to do something about it too."

“It’s very simple.” Bart said, pulling a blue marble the size of a fingernail from his belt. “This is a neutralizing agent that my comrades and I developed. Just inject it during the neutron explosion or during the recovery process after the explosion.”

"Then the energy inside the neutron will be forcibly stabilized, and it will no longer be able to launch an explosion."

"It sounds like a task that requires someone fast to do." The Flash was eager to try and was about to grab the bullet from Bart's hand when a faster hand beat him to it.
