Chapter 121 Ape Invasion

Barry is still a novice, and his newly acquired superpowers haven't even warmed up yet. This is the first time he's encountered a situation like this, and he's completely dumbfounded.

A group of talking gorillas descended in a meteorite-like spaceship and suddenly began killing anyone in their path in the Midtown area.

What's going on? Is this Rise of the Planet of the Apes?

Barry had no experience with this situation, but Shen You immediately understood what was going on when he saw it.

This is an invasion from Gorilla City, corresponding to the "Gorilla Wars" event in the Flash series.

This isn't some kind of Rise of the Planet of the Apes story; it originates from an ancient ape city in the Flash series. It's said that there's a group of incredibly intelligent gorillas on Earth who are skilled in scientific research and have developed a remarkably advanced civilization.

For years, they carefully avoided the human world and had no contact with humans, until one day a problem arose in the city. An ape named Grood not only fantasized about seizing power and dominating the world, but also dreamed of one day leading the apes to raze the human city and transform the earth into a planet for apes.

Okay, that does sound like Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Grodd is also one of the Flash's main villains. He hates Barry to the core and has repeatedly invaded Midtown and plotted to kill Barry.

But the problem is, The Flash hasn't even debuted yet?

What reason could Barry, who was just an ordinary person until recently, have to attract the attention of these gorillas?

"God, those gorillas, they're... they're destroying everything." Barry looked down from the edge of the rooftop. "We have to do something. We have to..."

What the!?

When he turned around, he saw that Shen You behind him was already fully encased in red and silver armor. The last armor parts were being assembled, the helmet was fitting in, and the dim eyes were shining with golden light.

"You are...you are God!" Barry's eyes widened. "To be honest, I had a vague feeling that you weren't actually one of the Eyes, but I never expected you to be...you are..."

"It's just a fake identity. I came to Midtown to investigate some things," Shen You said as he walked to the edge of the rooftop and surveyed the city's intrusion.

"Of course, you need an identity to enter the crime scene. That wormhole! You were the one who deactivated that wormhole, otherwise we might all be dead."

I know I may have already said this, but I still want to say it again. That move you made back then, that energy shock that suppressed the wormhole? It was absolutely awesome!

"Thanks. But let's focus on the immediate problem first."

"Oh yeah, right," Barry took a deep breath and started giving himself a mental pep talk, "I have superpowers now, I have superpowers now. I can just rush in, kick those gorillas' asses, and then quickly get away. It should be easy, um, hopefully."

A bolt of lightning streaked down from the top of the rooftop and raced down the street.

Like a whirlwind, so fast it was invisible to the naked eye. The gorillas were completely unaware of the enemy's approach as the whirlwind and lightning swept through them, striking all of them almost simultaneously.

Even a light touch at high speed can cause a heavy blow, but when Barry throws a punch with all his might, the effect is completely different.

As lightning flashed, the apes were sent flying in all directions. Some were blown into the air and spun around, some crashed into shop windows along the street, and some slammed headfirst into cars parked on the side of the road, sending shards of glass and metal flying everywhere.

Barry made a graceful turn, stopping but still sliding a considerable distance on the ground before finally coming to a stop. An electric current surged through his body.

He wore his coat inside out, and as he passed by the shop windows along the street, he casually grabbed a towel and tied it to his face as a disguise. However, he looked more like a highway robber than a hero.

"Great!" Barry clenched his fist. "This will teach you to behave yourselves in the zoo."

This series of actions undoubtedly attracted the attention of the surrounding chimpanzees. All the chimpanzees turned their gazes towards Barry, squinting as they scrutinized him.

"It's him!" a gorilla shouted.

"It's this human!"

"As King Gerudo said, the one of lightning."

"He's the key!"

The gorillas hissed and roared, their eyes flashing with ferocity, and surrounded them from all directions, shouting as they approached.

Such a massive, imposing group of creatures pressed forward like a wall of flesh, and Barry, who was seeing this for the first time, felt a pang of panic. He quickly darted out of the encirclement and then charged at one of the outermost gorillas, trailing swirling lightning.

He raised his fist and charged through the ruins and overturned vehicles, each step unleashing lotuses of lightning. Flying debris froze in mid-air, every speck of dust in the air momentarily still.

A slowed-down spacetime, as if he were the sole ruler of the entire world.

However, Barry never expected that the moment he rushed in front of the gorilla...

That gorilla actually moved!

In the frozen space-time, the huge black body suddenly turned around, and its enormous hand swung towards Barry!

Although the movement was also like slow motion, it wasn't as fast as Barry's, but this caught him completely off guard. He instinctively cried out in surprise, but at that speed, it was too late to brake, so he could only quickly lie on his back and slide in with lightning speed.

The lightning flashed like flowing water as Barry narrowly slid across the gorilla's crotch, crashing into a roadside mailbox with a thud before he could stop.

The gorilla turned around and tried to pounce, but the red and silver afterimage suddenly appeared and, using the momentum of the sprint, kicked the gorilla far away.

"A faint Speed ​​Force response was detected in these gorillas," Pal said.

Shen You frowned slightly.

Even if the entire Speed ​​Force gorilla army only possesses a small amount of Speed ​​Force, the situation is serious enough.

Three more gorillas roared and charged forward. Shen You turned and fired a palm strike, sending the gorillas scattering in afterimages. But in that moment, Shen You had already rushed into the middle of their formation.

He took down one with a mid-air knee strike, then used an elbow strike followed by a spinning throw to send the second gorilla flying into the faces of two other gorillas that were attacking him. Finally, he delivered a point-blank palm strike to the chest, sending the third gorilla flying.

He landed in front of Bari and held out his hand: "Careless?"

"My God, these gorillas. They're so fast."

Barry pulled him up by the hand, still somewhat shaken.

"Yes, but not as fast as you," Shen You said. "Here's a little suggestion. Go and attack those gorillas that aren't watching you. Once they turn around and surround you, run for your life."

You run fast enough they can't catch you. Once you've shaken them off, go find those who aren't watching you to bully, understand?

"Yes, yes, that makes sense. How come I didn't think of that?"

"Just a little experience."

Shen You smiled.

"It's alright, it's a piece of cake for you, you won't even break a sweat. Trust me, it's easy, you'll get addicted once you get the hang of it. I'll leave the situation in the city to you for now."

"Okay, wait a minute, what about you?"

"I'm going to see where they all came from," Shen You said calmly.

Upon further scanning, he discovered that these apes all possessed the Speed ​​Force, and that all the energy fluctuations were directed in the same direction, converging towards the sky above the central city.

It was invisible to the naked eye, but the scanner did show that the Speed ​​Force energy was converging above Midtown, making the space appear slightly thinner.

It's as if it's connected to some other space.

This immediately caught Shen You's attention.

He figured that it was impossible for all these gorillas to be speedsters recognized by the Speed ​​Force, so they must have developed some kind of method to utilize the Speed ​​Force.

This immediately ignited Shen You's thirst for knowledge as a scientist.

If we can get through the weak points in this space, we might not only have a chance to take down the mastermind, but we might also be able to find out the methods and techniques the apes use to utilize the Speed ​​Force.

Shen You quickly ascended into the air, and when he reached a near-height level, the power of the Time-Space Bracelet was activated.

Successful.

He could feel that the barriers of space, like a thin film, were more fragile than elsewhere.

All he needed to do was exert a little effort and straighten up.

Go in.
