Laughing American comics, I am becoming more and more like a clown

The screen gradually focused on Barry's hand, and as the frame rate continued to change, his quick movements as an object fell could be vaguely seen.

"Good news, we don't have to wait another four years... The Flash is born."

……

The Flash was born faster than all other heroes. After investigation, it was found that he was struck by lightning on the night when Lucian killed Zsasz, and then he gained super speed.

"I don't believe this is a coincidence." Lucian smiled. "The world is helping us."

Central City, Police Station, Crime Research Laboratory.

Barry is writing a case file. He is a forensic scientist, a job he continues to hold even after gaining unusual powers.

"Mr. Allen, someone is looking for you." The police officer knocked on the door.

Barry screwed the pen back into its cap, pushed the door and went to the reception room - he thought it was someone related to the case, a lawyer or something like that - so he straightened his clothes and made sure he looked serious and solemn.

But to his surprise, what he saw was a gentleman wearing a high-end suit, carrying a cane, looking old-fashioned like a medieval nobleman... and drinking black tea.

The door was closed and Barry sat down opposite. He just straightened his posture and looked up, and he looked straight into a pair of green eyes.

"Uh...uh, sir, my name is Barry Allen. What's your name?"

"Lucian."

Barry breathed a sigh of relief. He'd assumed someone dressed like that wouldn't answer his first two questions. But this gentleman seemed good-tempered enough, so he smiled. "Do you have any questions about the physical evidence or trace test results? What case is it? I'd be happy to answer them for you."

"I'm not interested in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and I'm not looking for you about any case or trace examination... Barry Allen, I mean, the lucky guy who got struck by lightning? The Speed ​​Force? The Speedster? The Flash?"

Barry's smile grew stiff.

"Don't be nervous." Lucian smiled. "I, too, have superpowers—I can irreversibly change my hair and eyes to green, use my laughter to lower the sanity of my allies and opponents, automatically capture souls after killing them and keep them alive in my mind, and I have a built-in isolation device to prevent any chemical reactions to my personality. And most importantly... I can predict the birth of heroes and the arrival of crises."

Barry: "Wow."

He had no expression.

"Okay, just kidding. My superpower is being super rich. You can call me the Rich Man."

Lucian was making a joke. In the movie, the Flash asked Ben the Bat about his superpowers, and Ben the Bat replied - he was super rich.

But obviously, the Flash doesn't have a sense of humor like the Joker, and he is still stuck in a state of panic because his identity has been exposed.

Lucien looked at him and felt that the conversation would not continue unless he confessed something, so he tapped the wall of the cup with his fingertips, making a crisp sound, and said, "Well, in return, I can tell you my other name - Bruce Wayne."

Coincidentally, there was a Gotham Gossip magazine on the decorative bookshelf in the living room, which was put there by someone unknown. Barry didn't even open it... and the cover was Bruce Wayne's face.

A man with black hair, blue eyes, and a smile on his face.

Barry looked up and locked eyes with the green-haired, green-eyed, and completely unrelated "Bruce Wayne" for a moment. He chuckled dryly, put down the magazine, and changed the subject: "Sir, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Bruce Wayne, who was watching the conversation and whose real identity was Bruce Wayne, said: "..."

"save the world."

Lucien always respected other people's wishes and answered the questions naturally.

“…What can I do?”

"It's simple. Leave this world."

Barry: ?

He said, "Huh?" "Does the destruction of the world have anything to do with me?"

"Of course not, the destruction of the world has something to do with me." Lucian smiled.

……

Sometimes Lucian really admires those heroes. They always give people the illusion that they will sell them out and still count the money.

After some discussion, the new generation Flash actually decided to cooperate.

"Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you?" he couldn't help but ask.

"If you want to do this, you shouldn't meet me in the conference room, you should meet me on my way home."

----

During the research on Claw Meat, and with the help of Victor Freese, who was not yet Mr. Freeze, the Batcave made a major breakthrough in cryogenic technology.

Specifically, it is manifested in...

"Is this... the Batcave?" The young Flash looked at the iconic items and the bat suit displayed inside, obviously having heard of the Gotham Knights.

"Like I said, my name is Bianfuxia." Lucian snapped his fingers and said, "Also, follow me."

After numerous verifications, they went to another room, which was filled with densely packed instruments, transparent tanks filled with green liquid, and two cabins.

Lucian took him over without hesitation.

After seeing what was inside the cabin, the Flash was horrified: "Bruce Wayne?!"

……

This is where Bruce's body is stored. The green liquid next to it is the Lazarus Pool, and the other compartment...

A strangely shaped gun was quietly pointed in the direction of the Flash - low-temperature bullets were fired.

……

"Superhero Lesson 1 - Don't trust others easily."

Lucian moved the large block of ice into another compartment and then killed him.

……

"Uh uh uh uh... You just killed me, didn't you?" A voice came from his mind, followed by another: "Why did you kill my counterpart too?!"

……

The Flash's speed force needs to be gradually deepened through training and interpretation, and then he can gain the power to travel through time and space.

The minimum training period is five years, and it may even be more than ten years.

"We can't wait that long... Five years, maybe we'll understand the emotional spectrum completely. Barbatos not coming will always be a hidden danger."

Lucien said to Batman: "My idea is..."

"Kill the Flash."

……

"Hush, listen to me, this isn't a question of whether to kill or not... The world is about to be destroyed, so killing is like offering sacrifice to the heavens. Whoever is killed is not killed."

"Now, let's put it this way...you two, what's the extent of your speed force? Is it permanent or a one-time thing?"

There was a pause, then Barry said, "One-time use." The Flash said, "One-time use too."

"Everything happens once, that's sex twice."

Lucian was not surprised by this result.

"Now, old Puff, you control your body and see what's going on in the universe around you. Little Puff, learn from it, and it will be your turn soon."

Chapter 98 Ending (Running Away~)

Peace……

What is manifested is peace.

In the Flash's exploration, the surrounding universe appears to be peaceful.

Lucian possesses some knowledge, and the highly similar universes cannot prevent him from understanding them.

"-1 Universe - Destroyer, Batman and Superman are the best partners."

"-11 Universe—Drowning Souls, Atlantis has not yet begun the war."

"-12 Universe - Merciless Iron Fist, Batman and Wonder Woman are in a passionate love relationship."

"-44 Universe - Killing Machine, Alfred is still alive."

"-52 Universe - Red Death, Batman in his prime, and a happy family."

even……

"-22 Universe - The Laughing Bat, the Joker is still alive."

……

Lucien finally figured out what was going on. Not only had they traveled across the universe, they had also traveled across time—back to the past.

The speedster stopped in the gap between time and space, and all the strange things were reflected in his green eyes.

"I see..." The words came out softly from his throat.

No wonder Barbatos didn't respond.

……

Lucian searched again, trying to find the Cruel Knight and the Dawn Lantern... but to no avail.

So he turned around and looked at the huge celestial body behind him, which was the space crack where he came from.

"-32 Universe - Dawnbreak, Batman didn't kill Joe Chell."

"Unnamed Universe - Cruel Knight, Batman didn't kill Joe Chell."

……

Something like fate enveloped him.

……

Return to Earth.

Bat cave.

Lucien placed his hands on Batman's coffin and looked at the frosted face above.

"You're not in the right mood. What are you thinking about?" Bruce walked out of his body.

"I'm thinking...how to revive you." Lucian looked at the jar filled with the Lazarus Pool. "You should be resurrected."
