American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

But Barry's eyes were firm: "It makes sense!"

Chapter 488 Speed Force and Quark Ball

Barry Allen's desire to save his mother was never for himself. His father Henry has been feeling guilty for not being able to save his wife Nora's life for many years, and the same is true for Barry.

And it's not just the death of his mother Nora, Barry also considers his father's wrongful imprisonment as his own responsibility.

If he had worked harder and been more capable, his father might have been able to clear his name earlier and avoid wasting more than a decade in prison.

The laws of the United States are sometimes very strange. In some cases, even though there is irrefutable evidence, the suspect can still be acquitted in court.

In some cases, there is clearly insufficient evidence, but the case is directly concluded.

When Nora was murdered, Henry was the only one at the scene. He was the primary suspect, and what was worse was that Henry did not witness the murderer.

This is of course, no matter what Reverse Flash does, it is impossible for an ordinary person to see him committing a crime.

At that time, Henry did not know how to protect the scene, and had no self-protection awareness. When he tried to rescue Nora, he accidentally touched the murder weapon and became the only fingerprint provider on this important evidence.

This is also the reason why he was eventually identified as the suspect. Even though Barry testified that he was innocent, his testimony was not accepted because he was not the first witness at the scene and was a relative of the perpetrator.

Iris seemed to understand: "So this is why you want to join the Evidence Technology Center?"

Barry nodded. He was determined to find evidence that could prove Henry's innocence, so he learned about this.

"I know it's stupid to do this, but..." Barry's eyes were red, "If I can give her a chance, if Nora can survive, what does it matter if she's not with me?

It is enough for me to know that among countless parallel worlds, she is living a happy life in one of them."

Iris grabbed his hand tightly. "No, it's not stupid, Barry. If this is what you want, I'll support you!"

She thought it was simple. Barry didn't want to change the past, he just wanted to make up for a regret.

This approach will not affect anyone, but it may help to resolve Barry's knot. She thinks from Barry's perspective and naturally hopes that her boyfriend can get what he wants.

What's more, Barry didn't want much, and even the ultimate beneficiary was not himself, but another lucky Barry.

Iris's support gave Barry some confidence, and he temporarily ignored Dane's reminders.

Looking at the cute and lovely Iris beside him, Barry's otaku heart began to stir.

Iris seemed to have noticed the change in atmosphere. She was not shy, but looked at Barry openly, with some anticipation in her eyes.

This actually made Barry, a novice, feel a little embarrassed, but their relationship had progressed to this point, so how could he refuse intimate contact just because of shyness?

So when Iris's old father William returned from outside, he found that the two young men were no longer in the living room.

William thought the two kids were out on a date. He had just opened a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and took a sip when he accidentally caught a glimpse of a square plastic bag on the ground. He immediately spat out a mouthful of beer!

"WTF?"

Old William hurried forward to check and found that it was indeed what he guessed. The old father was so angry that his hair stood on end and he felt that the blood in his body rushed to his head.

Without saying a word, he took out a Remington M870 shotgun from his room and rushed directly into Iris's room.

What followed was a commotion. Under the cover of Iris's angry voice and old William's roar, Barry used the speed force to put on his pants.

He ran out of Iris's house in a panic. Old William chased him to the door with a shotgun, and the muzzle of the gun seemed to be aiming at something.

But fortunately, William did not completely lose his mind. He was just holding the gun to scare people and did not actually shoot.

"You little bastard, if I see you again, I'll castrate you!"

After saying that, Old William still felt unsatisfied, and raised his gun angrily, as if he wanted to shoot something.

But in the end, he did not do so because of his professional identity.

Although he did not object to his daughter falling in love, and was well aware that he was powerless to stop his daughter from doing what she liked with the boy she liked, he could not see it with his own eyes.

This is the last stubbornness of an old father!

What Barry didn't know was that his conversation with Iris was secretly sent to Dane by Flash, but this artificial intelligence still knew its limits. It only sent Dane things related to business and did not expose Barry's privacy.

After receiving the news, Dane realized that time was running out and Barry would most likely try to modify the timeline in the near future.

Not only does Barry have only a vague understanding of the Speed Force, but in fact, the same is true for Dane's research on the Speed Force.

He always felt that "speed force" was a bug, and any attempt to analyze it using technological means would be futile.

The Speed Force can even distort the laws of physics, so how can we figure out its principles through general scientific research?

Fortunately, Dane himself does not rely on technology to achieve success. If this happened in the world of Super Seminary, the speed force might be mistaken for the power of the void.

But Dane can analyze the Speed Force from a magical perspective. In the DC worldview, the Speed Force is the origin of speed and one of the key forces to maintain the operation of the DC universe.

It is closely related to a basic property of matter. Speed is its appearance, and its true essence is the concept of "motion".

The universe originated from a Big Bang, which gave all matter its initial movement. The spatial scale was also created and expanded in the movement of matter, and particles also produced the concept of time because of movement.

If matter does not move, time is meaningless. It is precisely because matter is in motion at all times that time has a definite meaning.

This is why the Speed Force can affect or even directly interfere with time, because it represents the concept of "movement" of the operation of the universe, so it is closely connected with time.

Time and space are inseparable, so the Speed Force has almost omnipotent power in time and space, which is determined by its nature.

From this point of view, speed force is not an ability unique to the Speed Family, but a basic attribute possessed by all things. It's just that ordinary people have no way to use it directly.

But Barry Allen can.

Although there is such a setting in the DC world view that Barry is the creator of the Speed Force, because the various settings are messy, Dane cannot figure out why this is the case from those paper settings.

If we go by the setting, then the real body of the Speed Force is most likely Barry Allen. He is the Speed Force himself, but he has a human skin.

Just like the existence of Haruhi Suzumiya, she looks like an ordinary high school student on the surface, but in fact she is an almighty god, but the god himself does not know it.

In fact, the Speed Force has appeared in specific physical incarnations more than once in comics or other forms of works.

Dane therefore believes that the existence of the Speed Force is complex. It cannot be simply defined as energy, matter, or metaphysical concepts. Anything that is essentially related to the concept of "motion" may be part of the Speed Force.

It can be matter, energy, field, light, lightning, or even a person or something else.

The more Dane studied, the more he felt that he should not be overly obsessed with the essence of the Speed Force. This thing has a kind of evil nature. Like the Wall of Origin, the closer you are to the truth, the easier it is to get lost in the truth and be assimilated by the truth.

Dane estimated that he would have to wait until he reached the multiverse level and was able to create the world with his own power before he could explore the true nature of the Speed Force without any scruples.

Fortunately, what Dane is about to do does not require a deep dive into the nature of the Speed Force, just as humans can create high-tech products without understanding the nature of materials.

In the inspired dream, Dane opened up a huge laboratory. After spending three years in this dream laboratory, he finally completed something - the quark ball.

Quarks are a type of fundamental particle that participates in strong interactions and are one of the basic units of matter.

Quarks are microscopic particles smaller than hadrons.

At present, humans have no way to directly separate particles as small as this scale, and human research on quarks basically comes indirectly from the observation of hadrons.

This is mainly because in the real world, it is difficult to establish an experimental environment that can meet the stable existence of quarks.

But in the dream laboratory, this environmental problem was easily solved. But even so, it still took Dane three years to create a quark ball as big as a fist.

Fortunately, the passage of time between the dream world and the real world can be set freely, so from a realistic point of view, Dane only spent almost one night to create it.

The Quark Ball is an upgrade to the Energy Ball invented by Doomsday Batman. It has the ability to automatically absorb the Speed Force and allows the wearer to use the Speed Force.

More importantly, the quark ball can completely become the Flash's "stand-in". As long as Barry Allen's DNA is recorded in the core of the sphere, the Speed Force will regard the quark ball as the real Barry Allen.

There are infinite Barry Allens in the infinite parallel universes. Even the Speed Force does not have the intelligence to distinguish all the Barrys one by one.

Therefore, as long as the wearer wears this quark ball, he or she will not be affected by the time restart caused by the speed force.

But Dane, who created the quark ball, was in a dilemma at this time. There was only one quark ball, which meant it could only be worn by one person.

He had thought about creating multiple quark balls and distributing them to other people, especially Dane's girlfriends, but that didn't work.

Although the quark ball can deceive the Speed Force into thinking it is Barry, it cannot treat the Speed Force as a fool.

If there were a dozen or even dozens of Barry Allens in a single world, even a fool would know there was something wrong.

Chapter 489 The Next Generation

After much deliberation, Dane finally set his sights on Cortana.

Among all of Dane's female companions, Cortana is the real good wife, even more important than Diana, who has always stood by his side as his wife.

It was because she helped Dane maintain order in the dream world that Dane could devote himself to his career in the real world without any scruples.

But because of her constant presence in dreams, Cortana's real body has appeared less and less in the real world. The "Cortana" that still resides in the real world is just a sub-program, not an intelligent life, but just a strong intelligence.

"Cortana," Dane called softly.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared around, and countless glittering dust particles seemed to appear in the air. They condensed together to form Cortana's body.

Like Dane, Cortana, who has become the God of Dreams, no longer needs to rely on a physical body to exist, and her essence has been sublimated.

However, despite this, Cortana still cannot transcend time, so once the Flash rewrites history or restarts the timeline, Cortana will not be able to resist that power, and the same is true for Dane.

Even Darkseid and Lucifer are the same. If they are just splits from parallel worlds, they will not be able to resist the interference of the Speed Force on time.

After all, whether it is Dane or Darkseid and other gods, they still have to rely on real matter to exist, and as long as it is matter, it cannot escape the control of time and cannot resist the speed force.

During the Justice League's fight against Darkseid, the Flash used the Speed Force more than once to restart time and reverse the situation.

But to be honest, this approach cannot be considered a victory, it's more like cheating.

It is precisely because they cannot defeat the opponent under normal circumstances that the Justice League asked the Flash to restart the timeline. In terms of chess, the Flash chose to regret his move in this game, and he regretted it right at the beginning.

Seeing Cortana appear, Dane handed the quark ball in his hand to her.

"I'll leave this matter to you."

Seeing this, Cortana's eyes flashed with surprise, which was caught by Dane.

Cortana naturally had reason to be surprised. She thought Dane would give such an important thing to Diana, at least emotionally speaking.

Dane, who knew her thoughts, shook his head: "It would be better for me to use it myself than to give it to Diana..."

There were some things he couldn't say directly. In fact, Diana probably couldn't play a big role in this matter. The influence of time was almost unstoppable for matter. Therefore, as living beings in the material world, almost no one including Dane could be spared.

But Cortana is different. She has very little dependence on material things, especially after she became oneriel, her need for material things has become almost non-existent.

Moreover, dreams themselves have the ability to not be affected by the restart of the world. The most typical example is the Dream of a Thousand Cats by Morpheus, a nightmare demon. There is a world dominated by humans and a world dominated by cats. Both are worlds restarted under the ability of the Dream of a Thousand Cats, but they do not affect each other.

As the third concept in the Endless Family, the upper limit of "dream" is still very high. This is why Dane had to obtain the power related to "dream".

Upon hearing this, Cortana whispered, "If you take back my power..."

Cortana's status as the God of Dreams was achieved with the help of Dane, so in fact she was able to become a god because she divided Dane's power. Only when Dane and Cortana merged did they become the complete God of Dreams.

Therefore, Cortana's suggestion is to let Dane take back the power of "dreams" from her. In this way, Dane in his complete state does not have to care about the changes in the timeline at all.

He can directly hide in the dreams of other parallel worlds and watch the world's changes with a smile.

But Dane refused, and as a result, Cortana fell from a god to an artificial intelligence life form. Even if she had a quark ball, it would not actually help him much.

Moreover, Dane never thought about transcending the timeline. To advance to the multiverse level, he needed to take the initiative to participate in it.

Only if the current timeline changes will Dane have the possibility of splitting his own existence and becoming "infinite".

"Let's follow the plan. I've made up my mind."

Cortana could only nod at Dane. "Your will."

A few days passed like this, and no matter which world it was, there seemed to be no more waves.

Oh, no, it should be said that there have been no major events that would destroy the world. There are still many small disasters, but most of these small problems have been extinguished before they have become large-scale.

In Dane's world, the Justice League of America, led by Amanda, officially stepped onto the world stage. Although they had experienced the Atomic Girl incident, the organization was successfully established because it had official support.

Dane only found out later that Doctor Fate and Hawkman Hall had joined the organization, as well as some others like Firestorm, Green Arrow, Elongated Man, and even Big Barda, who had joined the alliance at some point.

This matter made Dane very puzzled, so he asked her the reason when they met in private.

Big Barda rolled her eyes at the time and said to him in a slightly harsh tone: "More than half of the women in the Justice League are related to you! I don't want to be one of them."

Besides, Wonder Woman and Queen Elizabeth II have similar tempers to her own. She is really afraid that one day the three of them will fight over schedules or other trivial matters.

Dane didn't look embarrassed at all about this matter. It was his ability that allowed him to do this, and he only felt proud.

But such things should be kept private among themselves. Westerners don’t really care much about personal privacy, nor do they want to interfere in other people’s emotional affairs.

But the bad thing is that Dane's affairs have become known to the public.

Recently, there have been rumors and unscrupulous media secretly making up stories about Dane's love affairs with other female heroes in the Justice League. There are even some fan comics and novels with relatively large scales appearing on the market.

Although there is no substantial evidence, it shows that someone already knows about Dane's affair with other women.
