Chapter 349: Savitar, the God of Speed
Bang!
Julian fell to the ground and passed out.
Su Sheng walked to the side, casually placed the box containing the philosopher's stone on the table, pulled over a chair, and sat down, smiling at Savitar. "What should I call you? Savitar or Barry Allen? Although you're just a time remnant, you are Barry after all."
"Although I knew I might not be able to hide it from you, I'm still curious, how did you know?!" Savitar's voice was ethereal, perhaps because of the armor? It didn't sound like Barry Allen's voice at all.
"Does it matter? You know very well that no matter if you are Barry Allen or Savitar, whether present or future, you can't outplay me!" Su Sheng chuckled.
Savitar was silent for a moment. "So I made preparations. If one Tracy Thirteen isn't enough, I can find you more fun. Don't stop me from doing what I want!"
"So Tracy Thirteen was a sugar-coated bullet you sent to appease me? The purpose is to make me not stop your revenge? Although you are also Barry, you are ultimately just a time remnant, one of many time remnants, or rather, the only remaining time remnant. The real Savitar killed all the other time remnants, leaving only you. But a time remnant is not the original, so you are ostracized, neglected. Even though he is the same as you, he is 190. What he has done, you have also done. What he remembers, you also remember. But you are just a time remnant. So, in your pain, you want to become a god to end this suffering, to seek revenge."
So you traveled back in time to become Savitar to exact revenge, to carry out your plan to become a god."
"Honestly, I'm really curious, doesn't this create a time paradox? From beginning to end, Savitar was you, your battle with yourself!" Time is truly profound. The time remnant, originally created to deal with Savitar, ended up becoming Savitar himself.
Isn't that interesting?
"You were imprisoned in the Speed Force, right? Only when this box is opened, through the philosopher's stone, can you appear. Relying on the Alchemist to restore the abilities of people in the Flashpoint timeline, you implemented your plan step by step. Unfortunately… I have to tell you, in the end, you will still fail!"
"You know Barry Allen's future, but I know yours!" Su Sheng chuckled. "So, how about I help you?"
"You help me?" Savitar seemed surprised, but quickly said, "What do you want?"
"Why ask so many questions? You don't have the right to choose anyway." Su Sheng casually said, closing the box.
Savitar instantly vanished.
"Bring a living person." Su Sheng called out, sending the philosopher's stone and the box away with Wave Transmission. Outside, Joe West and Flash entered instantly.
Looking at Julian lying on the ground, Barry Allenimmediately went to check on him. After finding that he was only unconscious, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Joe.
"What happened?" Barry Allen asked, puzzled.
"What is this?" Joe, however, noticed the mask and robe on the ground.
"Competitor hasn't been caught yet, has he? Aren't you curious how Competitor appeared? Why does he still remember those things, and have abilities?" Su Shengpointed at Julian and said, "Because of him, the Alchemist. He can restore the abilities of people from Flashpoint. Although he doesn't remember it himself, if you ask him if he has any memory gaps, you'll know!"
After Su Sheng finished speaking, he leisurely got up and left.
Joe and Barry Allen exchanged glances, both somewhat astonished. In the end, they decided to first lock up Julian and then question him thoroughly when Competitor was caught. If Competitor really gained his abilities because of Julian, then now that Julian was caught, Barry Allen could rest assured! At least no other abilities should appear, right?
Barry Allen returned to S.T.A.R. Labs and, after discussing with everyone, quickly found a way to deal with Competitor. This time, they successfully caught him. When questioned after his capture, Competitorindeed remembered Flashpoint and also knew the Alchemist.
"Julian has been caught, no more transformed people will appear." Barry Allen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shouldn't you explain what Flashpoint is about?" Iris, vaguely guessing something, asked.
Barry Allen hesitated, then finally spoke about what happened in Flashpoint. Of course, he mentioned some things and omitted others, such as his relationship with Iris, which he didn't mention, mainly because he was embarrassed. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Irisalready knew. Flashpoint caused many effects, and everyone was naturally very displeased upon hearing about it.
You yourselves changed time, and as a result, it affected our lives, and we were completely unaware.
Anyone would be annoyed if that happened to them.
In the villa.
Su Sheng opened the alley and held the philosopher's stone, but Savitar did not appear.
Even though the future Flash had become Savitar, he was still very apprehensive of Su Sheng. Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to appear before Su Sheng. Anyway, he would know whatever the current Flash knew.
"Is this the philosopher's stone?" Tracy Thirteen came to Su Sheng's side and asked curiously.
Su Sheng smiled, raised his hand, and threw it over. "Use it to attack me."
"Ah?" Tracy Thirteen was stunned.
"Don't 'ah' me. This philosopher's stone still has a certain amount of offensive energy. Ordinary people can use it, so you, a magician, shouldn't be unable to, right? Just use this philosopher's stone to attack me!" Su Sheng said casually.
"Oh."
Tracy Thirteen still said "Oh," studied it for a moment, then took the philosopher's stone and casually waved it at Su Sheng. In an instant, a magic beam directly struck. In the TV series, as soon as the Alchemist appeared, he used this philosopher's stone to give Flash a lot of trouble. However, Su Sheng was not Flash. As soon as the magic beam came, Su Sheng instantly copied this ability, as well as Tracy Thirteen's magic ability, then gently blocked it with a wave of his hand.
Bang!
The magic beam hit Su Sheng's palm and instantly disappeared. Su Sheng clapped his hands and waved to Tracy Thirteen. Tracy Thirteen, somewhat bewildered, returned the philosopher's stone to Su Sheng, not knowing what had just happened.
Holding the philosopher's stone, Su Sheng casually threw it into the box and closed it.
The philosopher's stone can release magic beams, restore memories and abilities to people in the Flashworld, and most importantly, it has a significant connection to the Speed Force. If the philosopher's stone is destroyed, Savitar will not be able to emerge from the Speed Force. This thing is somewhat like a key to the Speed Force! Or rather, a key to the Speed Force Prison!
Chapter 350: Magneto Woman Calling Daddy
After copying the abilities of the philosopher's stone, Su Sheng leaned on the sofa, deep in thought.
Recalling the villains that appeared in Central City after Flashpoint, besides Competitor and the Alchemist, there was also Magneto Woman, who could control magnetism, similar to Magneto and Polaris in the Marvel World, though with slight differences in power. But this ability was quite interesting and should be copied. There was also one called Shadow, who could transform himself into a shadow state. It seemed there was also a pair of notorious thieves, Mirror Master and Spike. Spike's ability was temporarily ignored, but Mirror Master could move through mirrors, which was also somewhat interesting. Su Sheng's lips curled into a slight smile. Let's start with Magneto Woman first?
Using Indigo's ability to locate Magneto Woman, Su Sheng quietly arrived at a certain apartment after dark.
In the room, a middle-aged woman was busy, and a girl who looked sixteen or seventeen was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Suddenly, the door opened, and a scruffy middle-aged man entered. He glanced at the girl, then at the empty dining table, and instantly became enraged, yelling and cursing as he walked towards the still-working woman and began to punch and kick her.
The girl clenched her fists, silently turned off the TV, and went to her room. In the cramped room, she closed the door, leaned against it, and slumped down. Outside, shouts and pleas for mercy echoed.
Su Sheng was sitting on her bed in an invisible state. This girl was named Frances Kane, an orphan with multiple personalities who had been in several foster homes. In the Flashpoint timeline, her dark personality gained the upper hand and possessed the ability to control magnetic fields. In this timeline, her dark personality still existed, but it had not yet awakened.
The Alchemist probably hadn't had time to return her abilities and memories.
Looking at her, Su Sheng activated the power of the philosopher's stone. In an instant, the girl's expression became somewhat dazed, as if she heard something in her ears, and fragments appeared in her mind. All her memories were returned, and the girl's eyes suddenly turned red and lit up, and her dark personality emerged. She shot up, her expression ferocious, and intended to turn and go out.
Her hand had just reached out when she suddenly realized that the door in front of her was gone.
Instead, there was a somewhat dim factory. She looked around in confusion and soon saw a person standing in front.
"Who are you!" Magneto Woman asked in a deep voice.
"The one who returned your memories and abilities." Su Sheng slowly spoke. "From now on, I am your master!"
"By you?" Magneto Woman snorted coldly, her hands trembling slightly. In an instant, the Gangbeam above her head suddenly bent and crashed down towards Su Sheng.
Su Sheng looked up, glanced at it, and slowly raised a finger.
The heavy Gangbeam was caught by Su Sheng with a single finger. Su Sheng smiled slightly, and with a slight force from his fingertip, the Gangbeam instantly flew up. Magneto Woman was greatly startled and instinctively tried to control the Gangbeam to continue attacking, but then she suddenly found that the magnetic field on the Gangbeam seemed to have been controlled by someone else first, and she couldn't control it at all.
"You…" Magneto Woman looked at Su Sheng in surprise.
Su Sheng chuckled, and his finger rotated slightly. In an instant, the Gangbeam suddenly split into strips of rebar that flew directly towards Magneto Woman. Magneto Woman was greatly alarmed and hurriedly tried to dodge, but the rebar flew very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it wrapped around her neck, pulling her directly to the ground. Then, other rebar strips bound Magneto Woman's hands and feet, effectively handcuffing her to the ground.
Footsteps slowly sounded, and Su Sheng walked step by step to her side, looking down at her.
"How did you do that?" Magneto Woman looked at the rebar in disbelief. She could only control the overall magnetic field now and couldn't change its shape like the other party.
"Call me Daddy!"
Su Sheng said, narrowing his eyes.
Magneto Woman snorted indignantly, and the rebar around her neck sank deeper into the ground, instantly making her unable to breathe.
"Call me Daddy."
"Call me Daddy and I'll let you go. I can also let you follow me, give you a superior life, and let you enjoy life without restraint." Su Sheng said, narrowing his eyes.
Both are magnetic abilities.
Su Sheng really wanted to know if Magneto Womancould defeat Polaris, and as for calling him "Daddy"? Well, that was just a dark joke.
Since Polaris's father was Magneto, and he also had the same ability after Copying Magneto Woman's magnetic field ability, Magneto Woman and Polaris were considered opponents of the same generation, so he should at least be promoted to the previous generation!
Her breathing became more and more difficult; she could feel herself about to suffocate.
Looking at the man who mysteriously appeared and said he would return her abilities and memories, Magneto Woman struggled to say, brokenly, "Dad, Daddy…"
"That's right." Su Sheng smiled and waved his hand, and in an instant, the steel bars on Magneto Womanflew away.
The now-free Magneto Woman rubbed her neck and hurriedly got up, looking at Su Sheng with alert and fear.
Su Sheng beckoned, and Magneto Woman was still hesitant, but then she suddenly felt her body uncontrollably fly to Su Sheng's front.
Magnetic field.
He could even control the magnetic field of a person's body.
"Do you want to become stronger?" Su Sheng gently stroked her red hair. "Call me Daddy."
"Daddy." Magneto Woman's call was much smoother this time.
Su Sheng smiled: "Good girl, Daddy will train you well, but before that, you can go and deal with your adoptive father to vent your anger."
"Swish!"
Su Sheng grabbed her shoulder and brought her back home.
Outside the bedroom door, the sounds of beating and shouting had not stopped, and Su Sheng nodded slightly towards Magneto Woman.
Magneto Woman raised her hand, the door opened, and she walked out.
A moment later, terrified screams followed, and then it became quiet outside.
Su Sheng walked out and saw the man lying in a pool of blood; the middle-aged woman also seemed to have fainted.
As for Magneto Woman?
She was lying on the sofa and also seemed to have fainted.
It was probably because her abilities had just recovered, and the situation was not very stable, especially with multiple personalities, so she fainted due to an unstable mental state after venting her anger, right?
Su Sheng chuckled and then disappeared.
Soon after, police sirens sounded, and the police and Flash arrived at the scene almost simultaneously.
…
PS: The character Magneto Woman is from FlashSeason 3 Episode 3.
Chapter 351: Ice and Fire Double Heaven with Killer Frost
The man was dead.
According to Flash Barry Allen's on-site investigation, the man died from a sharp object piercing his heart, but what was illogical was that neither the angle nor the force seemed to be something an ordinary person could achieve.
Metahuman!
The most suspicious were, of course, the deceased's wife and adopted daughter, but the deceased's wife had been knocked out by the deceased earlier and knew nothing, and his adopted daughter had been in a state of shock since she woke up and did not look like the murderer.
The case temporarily had no progress, so they could only be allowed to go home first.
Flash returned to S.T.A.R. Labs to investigate, but unfortunately, the incident happened at home with no evidence or clues, so it could only be left unresolved.
This was the disadvantage of not having Julian.
In the TV series, Julian had a deep study and understanding of metahumans, especially those who regained their abilities in the Flashpoint timeline.
At that time, no one else suspected Magneto Woman, only he confirmed that she was a metahuman through the data in her DNA and forced Magneto Woman to admit her identity through words.
Since the matter was left unresolved, no one paid attention to Magneto Woman anymore, and they had no idea that Magneto Woman disappeared a few days after returning.
Su Sheng took her to the Doomsday Wasteland World.
There, she had more opportunities to exercise her abilities without restraint.
Harley Quinn, the Golden Army of Blonde Female Nazi, building camps, dealing with enemies, and many other places could use her abilities to make her stronger.
The only awkward thing was that once there, she had to abide by the rules there.
For example, being naked?
Well, it seems that calling him Daddy was just a joke; even if he really wanted to be a father, Su Sheng would probably become a ghost father.
He did not stay long in the Doomsday Wasteland World; even though Qi Duo and others' gazes were more fervent, Su Sheng just sent Magneto Woman over and then came back.
Magneto Woman's ability was Copied, as for Mirror Master, Su Sheng was not in a hurry to find him.
He did not acquire his abilities in the Flashpointtimeline; he was transformed by the particle accelerator like Flash, but he was sealed in a mirror, in the Mirror World, and only appeared a long time ago.
At that time, he had just fallen out with Captain Cold, so after coming out, he planned to seek revenge on Captain Cold, so if he appeared, the commotion would certainly not be small, and there was no need to pay special attention to him.
Su Sheng took advantage of this time to continue returning the memories and abilities of several people in the Flashpoint timeline.
In a blink of an eye, a week passed.
This morning.
Su Sheng's bedroom door was knocked on.
Su Sheng, in his sleep, frowned and slightly opened his eyes.
Qiong Mu'en in his arms hummed softly and snuggled closer to him, while Laura behind him slightly got up, seemingly intending to open the door.
Su Sheng waved for Laura to lie down, and with a thought, the door opened by itself.
Outside the door.
Caitlin Snow lowered her hand and looked awkwardly at the three people on the bed.
"Caitlin." Su Sheng glanced at her and casually greeted her.
"I, I need your help, Barry Allen is in trouble," Caitlinsaid.
"And then?" Su Sheng muttered, rolling over onto his back. "I'm not his father."
Qiong Mu'en, in her sleep, woke up and saw Caitlin at the door.
She and Laura exchanged glances, then slowly got up, found their clothes, put them on, and left, even greeting Caitlin on their way out.
Caitlin hesitated, then walked in, and the door closed with a bang.
"Barry Allen is trapped in the mirror and can't get out.
A Mirror Master has escaped from Central City and rescued a criminal, Spike, who is causing trouble everywhere.
Most importantly… they kidnapped Captain Cold's sister, Lisa," Caitlin explained, walking over.
Su Sheng hummed, half-awake, and reached out to pull Caitlin directly into his arms.
Caitlin gasped as she fell and was held by Su Sheng, quickly saying, "Stop, stop messing around for now.
Isn't Lisa your person?"
"I haven't slept with her," Su Sheng muttered, his hand naturally reaching into Caitlin's clothes and gripping.
"If you put it that way, you're also my person."
Caitlin trembled slightly, grabbing Su Sheng's hand to stop him from messing around, but she couldn't really stop him, only trembling: "Can you, can you stop messing around?
Everyone is trying to find a way, only you can save Barry Allen, only you can save Lisa… Mirror Master's ability is very special; he can teleport and disappear through any mirror surface, and Spike is cooperating; Spike can make people feel dizzy, he is very difficult to deal with."
Crack!
As soon as Caitlin finished speaking, she heard the sound of a button unfastening.
She couldn't help but turn her head to Su Sheng in surprise.
His hand clearly didn't unbutton it, so how, how did it open?
"How long have we known each other?" Su Shengslowly opened his eyes and looked at Caitlin.
Caitlin was stunned and recalled the bits and pieces of her resemblance to Su Sheng. "Several years, I suppose."
"Is that so? I always thought you were already my pillow.
So, I haven't slept with you for several years?"
"I…" Just as Caitlin was about to speak, the surrounding air began to drop sharply, her hair rapidly turned white, and her pupils also changed.
Killer Frost appeared.
Her hand grabbed Su Sheng's wrist, and in an instant, a cold aura was released.
"You only appear every time I lie with her," Su Shengsaid leisurely; her cold aura had no effect on him at all.
"She's so stupid!
As long as I can create absolute zero, I can freeze the molecular change speed of the mirror, and that guy Barry Allen will be able to get out of it, there's no need to come to you!" Killer Frost 3.0 snorted coldly.
"Then you go," Su Sheng chuckled. "And save Lisa by the way, then bring Mirror Master to me."
Why should I? I don't need to listen to your orders," Killer Frost snorted.
Su Sheng smiled, and his body suddenly changed.
With a boom, flames emanated from his body.
The Heat Wave instantly made Killer Frost recoil, and she subconsciously let go of his arm. But Su Shengflipped over, pinning her beneath him, held her hands, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Hot!
So hot!
Killer Frost had no choice but to release her cold to resist. One cold, one hot, one ice, one fire. The bedroom's temperature constantly changed, like a duality of ice and fire.
Chapter 352: Killer Frost? Caitlin? It doesn't matter, they're all the same anyway!
Killer Frost, unwilling to yield, continuously unleashed cold air. But no matter how low the temperature of her cold air was, it seemed to be melted by the opponent's high-temperature flames. Ice and fire canceled each other out, as if... they were a natural match!
Facing Su Sheng's aggressive invasion, Killer Frostgradually couldn't take it anymore. The cold air she was releasing externally slowly retreated back into her body, while her clothes were burned away by the Heat WaveSu Sheng emitted.
"Ah..."
Killer Frost suddenly raised her head, stretched her neck, and let out a loud cry, then remained motionless.
Cold air was instantly released. In that instant, the bed, the walls, and even the entire room were completely frozen, like a world of ice. The flames on Su Sheng's body gradually receded, and he withdrew from his Firestorm state, but instead, he gained Killer Frost's abilities. The exact same cold air, the exact same chill. Killer Frost realized it instantly.
"Let's see whose ice cave is more powerful, yours or my ice pop," Su Sheng whispered into Killer Frost's ear, and then the ice-on-ice collision began!
"It's so cold. Do you guys feel like the temperature has dropped a lot?"
In the living room, Tracy Thirteen rubbed her arms and asked Laura and Qiong Mu'en.
"It must be Killer Frost," Laura said casually.
"This, this is too cold," Tracy Thirteen said, suddenly sitting up and activating her magic. In an instant, her body slowly floated up, surrounded by purple magical energy.
She used this method to resist the cold.
Laura's method was also simple: she just put on her battle suit and adjusted the temperature. As for Qiong Mu'en, though she was also shivering from the cold, she looked at Tracy Thirteen with a somewhat dazed expression.
Outside, the sun was high in the sky.
But inside the villa, it was as cold as the Arctic.
After an unknown amount of time, the cold gradually dissipated, and the temperature returned to normal.
In the bedroom.
Su Sheng looked at the limp Killer Frost and chuckled. Her hair gradually returned to normal, indicating that Killer Frost had left.
"How could you do that!" Caitlin said, pouting at Su Sheng.
Su Sheng shrugged and chuckled, "Why not? I slept with Killer Frost, not you."
"Is there a difference? It's still my body, and... and I know everything," Caitlin mumbled, struggling to get up and checking the time. "Oh dear, it's been so long. Hurry, go save people!"
"Alright," Su Sheng smiled. "You rest here and wait for me. When I come back, you can also let Killer Frostexperience what you felt."
Caitlin's face flushed. "You, you just go."
Su Sheng got up, took a shower, got dressed, and then went to S.T.A.R. Labs.
As soon as he arrived, Su Sheng saw Joe, Iris, Cisco Ramon, and Harrison Wells, all staring at a mirror, looking worried.
"You're finally here. Where's Caitlin?" Cisco asked eagerly when he saw Su Sheng.
"She's resting," Su Sheng said casually, glancing at Harrison Wells.
"This is HR, Harrison Wells from Earth Nineteen. We used the equipment developed by Harrison Wells from Earth Two to bring him from Earth Nineteen to help us a while ago, but unfortunately..." Cisco shook his head in disappointment.
"He's a blockhead?" Su Sheng laughed.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not a blockhead, I..." HR wanted to argue, but Su Sheng had already walked directly to the mirror.
It was a large, square mirror. Standing in front of it, Su Sheng could see himself, and he could also see Flash, Barry Allen, inside the mirror.
Facing Su Sheng, Barry Allen seemed at a loss for words.
He had been quite overwhelmed lately.
"I..." Barry Allen was about to speak when he saw Su Sheng reach out and touch the mirror surface. Then, cold air quickly spread, freezing the entire mirror.
"Come out," Su Sheng said casually, stepping back.
Barry Allen, half-believing, vibrated rapidly with the Speed Force, and then his entire body passed directly through the mirror.
"It worked?"
Barry Allen looked at himself, then at the mirror.
"I get it! Absolute zero, freezing the mirror's molecular vibrations so Barry can pass through the mirror with his own molecular vibrations!" Cisco Ramon said, realizing.
"Where's Mirror Master?" Su Sheng asked casually.
"I'm on it!" Cisco Ramon said, then hurried to a nearby computer. Soon, he pinpointed a location. "Found him."
Su Sheng glanced at it and then vanished with a whoosh.
Flash was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.
In a factory with a 'DANGER, DO NOT ENTER' sign hanging on it.
Mirror Master and Spike were organizing the money they had stolen. There were many mirrors nearby, and in one of them, Lisa was trapped inside, shouting loudly, but no sound could be heard.
"Stop shouting. If your brother, Captain Cold, doesn't show up, you'll be trapped in the mirror forever," Mirror Master and Spike said to Lisa inside the mirror after counting the money.
Lisa quieted down.
Was she scared? Desperate?
Mirror Master 493 smugly curled his lips and turned to kiss Spike, but as soon as he turned, he saw that Spike's expression seemed off. A light flashed in his eyes, and Mirror Master felt a sudden dizziness, as if the whole world began to shake and distort. The feeling of weightlessness made him collapse onto the ground.
"You..."
He looked at Spike in disbelief, seemingly not expecting her to attack him. But then something even more surprising happened.
He saw Spike suddenly accelerate and run towards the nearby wall, moving very fast with no intention of stopping. Finally, with a bang, Spike directly crashed into the wall, then grunted and collapsed to the ground, passing out immediately.
"This..." Mirror Master was dumbfounded.
What exactly is going on?
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and sharply turned his head, looking behind him, where a person slowly walked up from behind him.
"Who are you?" Spike looked at Su Sheng blankly. "You did this, what did you do to Spike?"
Su Sheng ignored Mirror Master and instead walked towards the mirror that was holding Lisa, smiled at Lisain the mirror, and then turned to look at Mirror Master, who had recovered from his dizzy state and was getting up to rush towards a nearby mirror.
Chapter 353: Mirror Master's Ability!
Mirror Master had been very pleased with himself since gaining his freedom.
Although he hadn't yet found Captain Cold for revenge, he had easily rescued his girlfriend, Spike, from prison. Teaming up with Spike, they robbed banks, unstoppable. Even Flash, whom Spike feared, had been dealt with by him. He was like the new king of Central City! But now he was a bit flustered. First, Spikeinexplicably became possessed and attacked him, and then he himself was knocked out. This gave him a bad premonition.
His ability was not offensive, so he needed to enter the Mirror World first to ensure his safety before dealing with this mysterious person who had suddenly appeared.
The mirror was within reach.
Mirror Master leaped, wanting to jump in, but at that moment, a brilliant blue lightning flashed, and Su Sheng appeared, blocking the mirror. Mirror Master had already lunged forward and couldn't avoid it, colliding directly.
Bang!
A collision sound rang out. Mirror Master felt as if he had hit an iron plate, groaning in pain as he bounced back and fell to the ground.
Su Sheng was asking for trouble, but he did succeed.
"Whoosh!"
A yellow lightning glowed, and before Mirror Master, who had landed, could react, his hands were cuffed. Blue energy glowed on the handcuffs; he could feel his abilities being suppressed.
"You're too slow, aren't you?" Su Sheng said to Flash, then turned and used his shrinking beam on the mirror holding Lisa, picking up the shrunken mirror. "Alright, you handle the rest."
With that, Su Sheng disappeared.
Flash shook his head bitterly and took Mirror Masterand the unconscious Spike away.
In the villa, Su Sheng enlarged the mirror and placed it in the living room.
"Lisa."
Seeing Lisa in the mirror, Laura was very surprised. "How is she in the mirror?"
"Why don't you ask her yourself?" Su Sheng said, then directly reached out his hand, his arm entering the mirror, grabbing Lisa, and lifting her out.
"Oh my god, I'm going crazy, I'm finally out!" Lisaexclaimed with relief after coming out.
Laura quickly went over and started asking questions, while Su Sheng went to his bedroom.
In the room, Caitlin had clearly finished showering but was still resting on the bed. Seeing Su Sheng return so quickly, she asked a question, and upon learning that the matter was resolved, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Sheng took off his outer clothes, lay down beside Caitlin, and held her in his arms.
"Don't... I'm still sore all over right now," Caitlin said with some panic.
Su Sheng smiled and didn't speak or make any other moves. Seeing this, Caitlin quietly exhaled in relief and nestled safely in his arms.
...
...
At dinner, Lisa was telling Laura about her experiences during this period. After being rescued by Su Sheng, Lisa seemed to have no intention of leaving. Anyway, she had lived here before, and her room was still available. Su Sheng didn't care, so others naturally wouldn't mind. He helped Lisa introduce herself to the Dominators, and they got along quite well.
After dinner, they chatted for a while, then Su Shengpulled Caitlin Snow back to the room.
Although Caitlin was still a bit resistant, Su Shengultimately took the lead.
Under the dim light, Caitlin fell into a dream, but Su Sheng quietly left the bedroom and went to Iris's apartment.
Because of her strained relationship with Joe, Iris had rented a small apartment and moved out.
A small apartment with one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. Su Sheng appeared in the living room.
The living room lights were off, but the bedroom door was open, and a light was on. The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Su Sheng turned and walked directly towards the bathroom. In Phase State, his body passed through the bathroom door.
A wave of heat met him, and through the shower curtain, Iris's silhouette was faintly visible.
The power of the philosopher's stone activated.
Iris, who was showering, suddenly cried out and fell into the bathtub. The shower water sprayed over Iris, but she seemed not to notice.
Images flashed through her mind.
Scenes of her working at the newspaper, scenes of her and her brother, Kid Flash, fighting crime together, scenes of her meeting Su Sheng to negotiate terms for her to report from the war zone, and... scenes of her and Barry Allen doing that.
"Ah..."
In a daze, Iris suddenly woke up, feeling as if she had been startled awake from a nightmare. She scrambled to her feet and climbed out of the bathtub.
"How, how could this happen? How... how do I have Flashpoint memories?" Iris pushed her wet hair back, looking at herself in the mirror, her face incredibly panicked and pale. "Alchemist, wasn't Alchemistalready caught by Su Sheng? How, how do I still know these memories?"
"Alchemist!"
She called out the name somewhat hysterically. Suddenly, she noticed a figure gradually appearing in the mirror. Iris was startled and tried to turn sharply, but her body seemed to lose control and wouldn't obey, unable to move.
This abnormal situation filled her with immense fear. She stared intently at the figure in the mirror.
"Su, Su Sheng?"
When she clearly saw the figure's appearance, she was stunned. "How, how is it you?"
In the mirror, Su Sheng scrutinized Iris's figure. Iris was completely unable to move. "You, what did you do to me?"
"What would I do to you? Although you have a good figure, unfortunately, this face is too plain." Su Shengspoke from the mirror, and strangely, Iris heard him very clearly. "I just want to tell you one thing, a very important thing, something that might affect the world's safety. Do you want to hear it?"
"Wh-what is it?" Iris asked tremblingly.
"An alien race called the Dominators is about to invade Earth. Decades ago, they came to Earth but left. Now they are about to return, and Central City will be one of the battlefields. Barry alone cannot stop this invasion. You need more help, those people who had abilities in the Flashpoint World!" In the mirror, a glowing philosopher's stone appeared in Su Sheng's hand.
"This is the philosopher's stone. Alchemist used it to return memories and abilities from the Flashpointtimeline. I used it to restore your memories. Now I will give you this stone and a few names. You can have them restore their memories and abilities to save this disaster!" Su Sheng said, then slowly extended the philosopher's stone from the mirror, placing it in front of Iris.
Iris's body suddenly jolted, as if she had regained control. She abruptly looked up; Su Sheng in the mirror had disappeared. She turned around; Su Sheng was not behind her either.
"Where's the philosopher's stone?" She looked down at the spot where the philosopher's stone had just been; the philosopher's stone had also disappeared.
Everything had disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
Is this a dream?
Iris was bewildered.
… …
PS: Mirror Master is also a character from The FlashSeason 3, and the Dominators are from the Arrowverse crossover storyline.
Chapter 354: Su Sheng's Acting, Iris Falls for It
In the TV series, Savitar, in order to escape from the Speed Force Prison, had manipulated Kid Flash, and Caitlin. In the original future, he even killed Iris, though he eventually succeeded, it was HR impersonating Iriswho was killed.
This time, Su Sheng planned to change things up, directly having Iris help Savitar. This way, if the so-called future changes, would Savitar still dare to come out of the Speed Force Prison?
If he came out, and the future timeline changed, Savitarwould quickly be erased from the timeline. If he didn't come out, he could hide in the Speed Force Prison, and while he wouldn't be erased, he would lose his freedom forever. And Su Sheng had the key to enter and exit the Speed Force Prison, so he could cause trouble at any time.
Yes.
He did tell Savitar he would help him, but he was only doing it for fun.
If he had other fun, he naturally wouldn't need to bother with Savitar.
Evil Barry Allen was still very useful!
However, to prevent Savitar from causing trouble, Su Sheng still needed to do some extra things, which should be very interesting.
The moon set and the sun rose.
A new day began, and Iris woke up from her sleep still a bit disoriented, unable to determine if last night was a dream or something else. But the memories from Flashpoint were crystal clear and very real. If, if it was all true, then was it really true that aliens were going to invade Earth?
The more Iris thought about it, the more uneasy she became. After washing up, she rushed to the newspaper office.
She wanted to investigate if aliens had really visited Earth decades ago, referring to the Dominators, not Superman or similar beings.
It has to be said that reporters have their ways of investigating news. After digging deep, she really found some clues, but unfortunately, a lot of content had been erased, and those who could do this and would do this were obviously government departments.
What did this mean?
It meant it was very likely true!
Su Sheng!
She wanted to see Su Sheng to confirm if last night was real!
Su Sheng's residence was not really a secret, especially since people often came and went, making it easy for those with ulterior motives to find out, but even if they knew, no one dared to go there. Iris left the newspaper office and drove directly to Su Sheng's villa.
Squeak!
The car stopped, Iris got out and pressed the doorbell of the villa gate.
The door slowly opened, and after Iris walked in, she saw a tall woman approaching.
"Hello, my name is Iris, I am Flash's friend, I am here to see Su Sheng." Iris said hurriedly.
"My name is Laura, I know who you are." Laura smiled faintly. "Master should not be awake yet, he is with Caitlin, you can come in and wait for a while."
"Thank you!"
After entering, Iris saw Qiong Mu'en, Tracy Thirteen, Dominator, and Lisa, which surprised Iris. These women were all beautiful with good figures and high Appearance. Especially Laura's address for Su Shengmade Iris guess the relationship between these women and Su Sheng.
"Was he, was he at home all last night?" Iris asked Laura.
"He should have been. Master and Caitlin were in the room and shouldn't have gone out." Laura replied.
"Oh." Iris frowned and responded.
He didn't go out, so was it really a dream?
While she was lost in thought, Su Sheng and Caitlincame downstairs and seemed a little surprised to see Iris in the living room.
"Is, is something wrong?" Caitlin asked.
Iris shook her head: "No, nothing, I just have something to talk to Su Sheng about."
"Oh." Caitlin responded with a strange expression, obviously a bit misunderstanding.
"What kind of expression is that? I have no interest in her looks at all." Su Sheng pretended to be angry and patted Caitlin, then turned to Iris. "What do you want to see me about?"
"Last night, did you… did you come to my house?" Irisasked.
Su Sheng pouted. "You ask Caitlin."
Caitlin's face flushed slightly as she shook her head: "Yesterday, yesterday we were together."
"Have you heard of the philosopher's stone?" Iris looked at Su Sheng and asked again. She noticed that Su Sheng's expression was slightly surprised, as if he was surprised why she would know. What did this mean? It meant that last night might not have really been Su Sheng, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted like that.
So what exactly happened last night?
"Can I, can I talk to you alone?" Iris wanted to figure it out.
"Alright, come with me." Su Sheng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
He led Iris out and onto the Disciple.
Su Sheng asked, pretending to be knowledgeable. "I didn't take it out when I exposed the Alchemist, and Julian has no memory, so how do you know about the philosopher's stone?"
"There really is a philosopher's stone? Why, why didn't you take it out?" Iris asked in surprise.
"Because it's dangerous!" Su Sheng said solemnly. "The Alchemist used it to restore memories and abilities from Flashpoint, but in reality, the Alchemist is just a minion; he works for the God of Speed, Savitar."
God of Speed? Savitar?
Iris was even more confused.
"Savitar is Flash's future enemy. In the future, a few months from now, Savitar will kill you in front of Flash. After your death, Flash will finally find a way to deal with Savitar and imprison him in the Speed Force Prison. Perhaps because Flashpoint changed the timeline, Savitar had the opportunity to cause trouble using the philosopher's stone. The philosopher's stoneis considered the key to opening the Speed Force Prison."
"He can use the philosopher's stone to make people see illusions and manipulate you, which is why I took the philosopher's stone."
Iris stood there stunned, not speaking, and it took her a long time to process this series of messages. "It seems your method didn't work either. I saw him last night. He appeared in the mirror in your form and told me that an alien race called the Dominators would invade Earth. He also said to give me the stone to restore the memories and abilities of some people from Flashpoint so we could resolve this disaster together. So… this was all fake? But, but I investigated before I came, and it seems there might actually be Dominators."
"If he hadn't appeared in my image, would you have come? If you didn't come, how could you have gotten the philosopher's stone? Because the Dominators are real!" Su Sheng said casually, unconcerned.
Chapter 355: Sisters' Double Car and Tracking Da Bardda?
Iris was speechless.
If it had been in someone else's image, Iris definitely wouldn't have believed it, but Su Sheng was different? Although Su Sheng acted recklessly, like an unpredictable bomb, he probably wouldn't lie to her, because there was no need, and what he said was highly credible. If it had been another image, another person telling Iris about the possibility of Dominatorsinvading Earth, Iris wouldn't have believed it at all, and wouldn't have investigated.
"Can you deal with the Dominators?" Iris asked.
"Yes." Su Sheng said casually. "But why should I help? The Dominators are numerous and will land in different places. Although there will be some losses, they can ultimately be resolved. Savitar wants to use this to get you the philosopher's stone—that's impossible!"
"How much loss?" Iris couldn't help but ask.
I'm not sure, probably a lot of people will die, buildings will be destroyed, oh, and the President will die," Su Sheng said after thinking for a moment.
Iris's expression was very grim. So, even if the Dominators were defeated in the end, would it still cause so much loss? No, it would be one thing if she didn't know, but now that she knew, Iris couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Well, she was a good person, so she definitely had to have a compassionate heart.
She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "What if I promise not to be swayed by him? I just want to use the philosopher's stone to restore a few people's abilities to resist this crisis together. Can you temporarily give me the philosopher's stone?"
"No," Su Sheng flatly refused, shaking his head. "But I can introduce someone to you. She should know about the Dominators, so you can prepare early."
"Who?" Iris asked.
"You'll know when you meet her," Su Sheng said, directly opening a Shockwave Wormhole and taking Iristhrough it.
The next moment.
The two arrived at an apartment.
There were two women in the apartment, one of whom Iris recognized.
The famous reporter, Lois Lane.
"Miss me?" Su Sheng walked over with a smile, hugged Lois Lane and Lucy Lane, and kissed each of them.
The sisters instantly felt a bit awkward.
"Let me introduce you. This is Iris, a reporter from Central City, and Flash's friend. This is Lois Lane, and this is her younger sister, Lucy Lane," Su Sheng said to Iris, wrapping his arms around the two women.
Sister?
Biological sisters?
Oh my God!
With this introduction, everyone except Su Sheng felt awkward.
"She's here to learn about the Dominators. Your world's Super Investigation Department should have information about the Dominators, right?" Su Shengturned to Lucy Lane.
Lucy Lane's expression was somewhat serious. She knew about the Dominators, and she knew how terrifying they were!
"You tell her the details," Su Sheng said, then pulled Lois Lane aside to chat. Lucy Lane organized her thoughts and began speaking with Iris.
The Dominators were a relatively brutal and powerful race in the universe. A single individual might not be that strong, but they were numerous. What they often did was invade a planet en masse after understanding its situation, selling the native population and occupying the planet. After being told some intelligence about the Dominators, Iris's expression became even more solemn and grim.
"Done talking?"
After a while, seeing them stop, Su Sheng walked over and asked.
"Mm," Iris nodded.
"Then you should go back," Su Sheng could tell Iris had something more to say and was hesitant, but he didn't give her the chance.
Of course, the philosopher's stone had to be given to Iris, but definitely not now, and not in this manner.
Flash had to beg him to give the philosopher's stone to Iris; only then would Savitar break down, right? Savitarhad been imprisoned in the Speed Force for so long, and hatred had already changed him into a different person. If he wasn't thoroughly worn down, he wouldn't listen. With a casual Wave Transmission Wormhole, he sent Iris back to Central City. Su Sheng then started 'driving' with the Lucy sisters. Although the two clearly resisted, especially as their feelings deepened after spending time together and they recognized each other as sisters, their resistance grew even stronger.
Unfortunately, this resistance was useless in front of Su Sheng. He brought the sisters together precisely to make 'driving' convenient. If they resisted and he didn't 'drive', that wouldn't be Su Sheng's character.
With a mix of persuasion and coercion, the sisterly 'twin engines' began to roar.
At first, they were somewhat reserved, but as the speed increased and the roar grew louder, they gradually lost themselves in the moment.
The afternoon sun was scorching.
After showering with the sisters, Su Sheng went downstairs with them to find a restaurant for a bite. Afterward, they strolled around and bought some souvenirs for Lucy Lane to take back later. Before long, the two women were carrying many large and small bags. Su Sheng had originally planned to use Wave Transmission to send these items back, but the two didn't need him to. He guessed that carrying their spoils was probably part of the fun of shopping.
"You two continue shopping, I'll rest here," Su Shengsaid to the sisters as they passed a Park, then walked towards a nearby bench.
He wasn't tired, but shopping with women was very tedious.
Seeing this, the sisters simply went off to shop by themselves.
Su Sheng leaned back on the bench, squinting and basking in the sun. After a while, he felt as if the sky had darkened, and the sunlight was blocked.
He opened his eyes.
Su Sheng saw a tall figure standing in front of him. The sunlight was a bit dazzling, and he blinked a few times before recognizing her.
Da Bardda?
She had appeared during Steppenwolf's invasion and had stayed on Earth, not leaving. Why was she here?
"What do you want, following me!"
Before Su Sheng could speak, Da Bardda spoke coldly.
"Following you?" Su Sheng was stunned, then laughed in spite of himself. He pointed at her, then at himself. "Are you blind? I'm sitting here, and you came to find me, saying I'm following you?"
"I'm here, and you're sitting right here. You still say you're not following me? Your people have been following me all this time, do you think I don't know?" Da Bardda snorted. "I'm not your enemy. I just want to live on Earth for a while. But if you continue like this, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Did I ask you to be polite?" Su Sheng retorted with a sneer.
Chapter 356: Fierce Battle with Da Bardda and Superman's Get Lost
Who was Da Bardda?
A New God from Apokolips, and the former captain of the Revenge Goddess Squad.
Which member of the Revenge Goddess Squad wasn't short-tempered and ruthless in their actions? Da Barddawas indeed not an enemy of Earth, so after arriving on Earth, she had been very low-key, even working to make a living. The hardship of life, coupled with constant surveillance and tracking, truly angered Da Bardda. Now, Su Sheng appeared so blatantly in front of her with an arrogant attitude, finally making Da Barddaunable to hold back.
Looking at Su Sheng's arrogant, even provocative expression, Da Bardda snorted coldly and kicked out.
Bang!
The bench was shattered with one kick, and Su Shengdisappeared. Da Bardda snorted and turned her head, a punch wind arriving right on cue.
The fist directly made intimate contact with Da Bardda's face. With a loud bang, Da Bardda's body instantly flew out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several large trees in the Park were directly knocked down by Da Bardda, scaring the surrounding people who screamed and ran away. The originally peaceful apartment was thrown into chaos.
Bang!
Da Bardda crashed into a tree and slowly fell, then looked up, wiping her struck cheek, her fierce gaze fully exposed. With a powerful push of her feet, Da Barddainstantly appeared in front of Su Sheng. Although she was wearing ordinary Earth clothes, the blood of battle clearly flowed through her entire body, and even with different clothes, she wouldn't forget to carry her weapon. The moment she rushed over, her short staff weapon appeared in her hand and she directly smashed it down.
Bang!
Su Sheng raised his arm to block. This short staff weighed at least a million tons. Su Sheng's arm was fine, but the ground beneath his feet directly caved in, the sound so loud it was as if the ground had cracked. Outside the Park, police officers arrived with guns after hearing the commotion, but seeing the two fighting fiercely in the Park, they hesitated.
Superhuman battles were not something they could participate in!
A roar sounded, and a moment later, the tight-suited, red-caped Superman floated down.
"You, you two stop fighting for now." Seeing the destruction in the Park, Superman couldn't help but shout.
What a pity.
Su Sheng and Da Bardda completely ignored him, fighting exceptionally fiercely.
Da Bardda was giving her all, and Su Sheng was also enjoying the fight.
It had been a while since he'd encountered a decent opponent, not even one who could make him let loose a little. A fight was at least more interesting than the Lane sisters shopping, right?
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
The two exchanged blows, incredibly intense.
"If you don't stop, the Park will be destroyed! I'm sorry, but I have to stop you!" Seeing that the two had no intention of stopping, Superman instantly rushed over, seizing the opportunity to grab Su Sheng and Da Bardda's wrists.
"Scram!"
"Scram!"
Almost in unison, Su Sheng and Da Bardda turned and threw punches at Superman!
Bang!
The two strikes merged into one sound; Superman took both punches simultaneously and was instantly sent flying. His Steel Body flew out, directly smashing through several cars, carving a long trail on the ground. He struggled a few times but couldn't get up.
Oh my god!
The surrounding Metropolis police, seeing Superman beaten to such a state, dared not step forward and could only disperse the nearby civilians, keeping them at a distance.
Each withdrew their fists.
Su Sheng and Da Bardda engaged in combat again. The million-ton short staff was incredibly powerful, and Su Sheng took the opportunity to manifest a similar short staff using his rainbow-colored light construct.
As soon as they exchanged blows, Da Bardda's expression subtly changed.
She had a sense of déjà vu.
"This is… my technique. How did you learn it?" Da Bardda asked in surprise.
Su Sheng pouted, saying nothing, and continued his fierce assault, beginning to stack power. While the moves and techniques didn't change much, the overall power was completely different. Da Bardda clearly felt that his moves were identical to hers, yet he could achieve effects and power that she herself couldn't. Unbeknownst to her, Da Bardda began to feel overwhelmed, retreating step by step.
"Shatter for me!"
Su Sheng suddenly roared and instantly appeared behind Da Bardda. Da Bardda reacted quickly, turning and swinging her staff to block.
As the two short staffs collided, a cracking sound was heard.
Da Bardda's short staff broke, and while she retreated in surprise, she was still a bit slow.
Su Sheng's short staff followed through, smashing down. Another cracking sound echoed, and Da Barddafell to her knees with a thud, her left arm shattered, dangling limply.
She struggled to get up, unwilling to admit defeat, but Su Sheng's short staff was pressed directly against her head, keeping her from rising…
"How does it feel to be defeated by your own moves?" Su Sheng said, narrowing his eyes.
"I refuse to accept this!" Da Bardda snorted coldly. "Either you kill me, or… I will definitely kill you."
"Hmm."
Su Sheng casually responded, slowly raising his short staff as if to bring it down.
"Stop!"
Superman struggled to fly over and pleaded. "She, she has already lost. Hand her over to me; I will handle it."
Su Sheng narrowed his eyes and turned his head. "Who gave you the courage to demand someone from me?"
"Scram!"
Superman frowned, looking troubled. Although he had almost turned dark in the past, due to various subsequent events, Superman was still Superman. It was truly difficult for him to watch Su Sheng kill Da Bardda, especially since Superman also knew that what Da Bardda had done had not violated the rules of Earth or, rather, human rules. In such a situation, it was hard for him to ignore it.
"I said… scram!"
Seeing that Superman hadn't left, Su Sheng directly threw his psychic ability at him.
In an instant, Superman's expression suddenly changed, and he actually bent over and started rolling on the ground, like a ball, rolling farther and farther away.
"Psychic ability?" Da Bardda subconsciously said.
"I hate these self-righteous busybodies the most," Su Sheng said, pouting 2.0.
"So, you're not with them, you weren't tracking me, this… was just a coincidence?" Da Bardda suddenly realized.
"That's not important."
As Su Sheng's words fell, the short staff struck directly at Da Bardda's head.
Da Bardda, however, was tough and neither dodged nor blocked.
Bang!
With one strike of the short staff, Da Bardda grunted and collapsed to the ground.
Blood flowed from her head.
"That feels good now." Su Sheng chuckled, put away his short staff, and lifted Da Bardda, disappearing instantly.
After rolling for an unknown duration, Superman suddenly sobered up. Seeing the pointing civilians around him, Superman recalled what he had just done and, overcome with shame, flew away immediately.
Chapter 357: Your Life and Death Are Within My Thoughts
Although Metropolis is a bustling Metropolis, as the saying goes, where there is light, there is darkness; where there is prosperity, there is poverty. In the southern part of Metropolis, there is a place called Suicide Slum. Located in the southern part of Metropolis, it is economically backward, crime-ridden, rampant with firearms, and prone to violence. It can be said to be an area ruled by gangs, and the name of this gang is the 100 Gang.
The name sounds unique, but no one dares to underestimate it. Here, the 100 Gang is undoubtedly the ruler.
When Da Bardda came to Earth, she naturally wanted to hide and integrate into human society. After several twists and turns, she ended up living in Suicide Slum, in a very dilapidated apartment. Most of the people living there were either involved in prostitution or drug dealing, and the environment was quite harsh. However, no identification was required here, and the price was cheap, with rent only $500 a month.
But $500 was already a considerable amount for Da Bardda.
After extracting Da Bardda's memories, Su Shengbrought the dying Da Bardda to her apartment.
Small!
12
Very small.
It was almost like a single room in many motels, with the bedroom and living room combined, and not even a kitchen, though thankfully it had a private bathroom.
Su Sheng threw Da Bardda onto the bed and surveyed his surroundings; it was a bit messy but not dirty, looking no different from an apartment where an ordinary person would live.
"A dignified New God, the captain of the Revenge Goddess Squad, reduced to this state—that's quite something," Su Sheng muttered, activating his Anti-Life Equation's return ability to modify reality.
In the blink of an eye.
Da Bardda, who had been on the verge of death on the bed, instantly had her injuries vanish, and she, who had been unconscious, slowly woke up.
Opening her eyes to see the familiar room and Su Sheng, Da Bardda was momentarily stunned before flipping herself up.
"Huh?"
As soon as she got up, she noticed that her shoulder seemed to have recovered, and all her injuries were gone.
"You… didn't kill me?" Da Bardda asked, puzzled.
"I did kill you; if I hadn't saved you, you'd probably be dead in a few minutes," Su Sheng chuckled.
"Why?" Da Bardda couldn't understand; if he wanted to kill her, why save her?
"Why?" Su Sheng thought for a moment and smiled. "Perhaps I just wanted you to know that your life and death are entirely within my control?"
"You should thank me!"
"Just because you didn't kill me? If you want to kill me, just do it; if you want to humiliate me? Never!" Da Bardda snorted coldly.
Su Sheng shook his head: "Do you know why Darkseidhasn't caught you even after you've been hiding on Earth for so long? If nothing unexpected happened, he's probably facing a difficult opponent, Anti-Monitor. Do you know why Anti-Monitor went to trouble Darkseid? Because I resurrected him, on the condition that he capture Darkseid's daughter Grial and bring her to me. That's why you've had such a long period of leisure time, so… shouldn't you thank me?"
"You want to capture Grial? Why?" Da Bardda asked in surprise.
"What, Darkseid can send Steppenwolf to invade Earth, and I can't have someone capture Darkseid's daughter?" Su Sheng chuckled. "In my eyes, you New Gods are nothing special, just beings that can be crushed in minutes!"
"You…" Da Bardda hesitated, then finally nodded and said, "Thank you."
"I admit you are very strong, but you underestimate Darkseid too much. What you're doing will bring trouble to you, and to Earth."
"And it will bring trouble to you, right?" Su Shenginterrupted mockingly. "If you hadn't come to Earth, Darkseid might not have made a comeback so quickly after Steppenwolf's failure, but because of you, Darkseid will definitely come to Earth. If he wasn't held up by certain reasons, he would probably have been here by now."
"Just hide well. When I'm done playing with Darkseid, you might still be able to keep hiding on Earth," Su Sheng said indifferently, and his phone suddenly rang.
It was Lois Lane, asking about the intense fight in the Park just now.
Su Sheng briefly told her to go shopping and go home by herself, then hung up the phone and turned to leave.
Having had a fight to stretch his body, Su Sheng was feeling quite refreshed now.
"Next time I'm bored, I'll come find you again; fighting with you is quite enjoyable." Su Sheng waved his hand, turned, opened the door, and prepared to leave. This was his first time in the Suicide Slum, and it wouldn't be bad to look around!
He casually opened the door.
Outside, a girl happened to be raising her hand, seemingly intending to knock, and their eyes met, causing a slight stunned.
The girl said with some surprise, "Hello, I'm here to see Teacher Da Bardda."
"Teacher?" Su Sheng looked at Da Bardda in surprise.
Da Bardda said, "Is that Jennifer Pierce? Something came up today, so the lesson will be postponed."
"Oh." Jennifer Pierce responded and looked at Su Sheng. "Are you Teacher Da Bardda's boyfriend? Then I won't disturb you."
With that, the girl named Jennifer Pierce was about to turn and leave.
"Come back!" Su Sheng, interested, called out.
Jennifer Pierce instantly turned back and even closed the door.
"You controlled her, why? Our business has nothing to do with her," Da Bardda shouted somewhat anxiously.
Su Sheng walked to the bed and sat down, motioning for Jennifer Pierce to come over. Da Bardda wanted to stop her, but being controlled, she wouldn't listen.
"You're both Black, but you're prettier than Iris. You're not very old, but you're well-developed, and your leg muscles are very strong, indicating you've trained in long-distance running. Hmm, you also have an older sister, divorced parents, and your father is the principal of Garfield High School here, and he was once a decathlon athlete?" Su Sheng chuckled and looked at Da Bardda. "You teach her combat? Do you make a living by teaching people to fight? You're really down on your luck. But, do you know she's very special?"
"She's very special?" Da Bardda was stunned.
"You don't know?" Su Sheng chuckled and pointed. "That's right, her ability hasn't awakened yet, so it's hard to notice. I only became interested in her calling you teacher and looked at her memories, then discovered her identity."
"She's just an ordinary little girl," Da Bardda said. "But she is indeed the student with the best physical quality among those I've taught."
"She's not an ordinary little girl; in the future, she'll have her own codename, Lightning! Of course, even if she becomes a superhero, she'll only be a fringe character. As for her sister and father, they might be stronger than her, but in the Justice League, they're barely considered second or third-tier."
...
PS: DC American drama enthusiasts should be able to guess.
Chapter 358 Black Lightning Family and the Angry Savitar
Da Bardda didn't really understand Jennifer Pierce's family situation, but she could tell that Jennifer Piercemight awaken some ability, and her sister and father also seemed to be extraordinary?
Su Sheng smiled as he observed Jennifer Pierce. In the comics, this girl would become a hero codenamed Lightning, with the ability to manipulate lightning. In a certain version of the comic, she once fought against Superman, who had become a Black Lantern, alongside Star Girl and Power Girl, and later also fought against Green Lantern Alan Scott, and teamed up with female heroes like Star Girl, Supergirl, and Batgirl to help Wonder Woman fight aliens. Of course, that was the extent of it; in the DC World, she was a minor character outside the third tier. Her sister, Anissa Pierce, was codenamed Thunder, a lesbian whose lover was Grace Choi, an Amazon who had been living abroad. Thunder had joined the Outsiders. How to put it, they were all third-tier.
As for Thunder and Lightning's father, Black Lightning, also known as Black Flash.
He was barely a second-tier supporting character, naturally possessing the ability to release lightning. In the comics, he once rejected Green Arrow's invitation to join the American Justice League and later joined the Outsiders team organized by Batman. Interestingly, when Lex Luthor was elected president, he appointed Black Flash as the Secretary of National Education, and he even worked under Lex Luthor later. In the rebooted storyline, he appeared as one of the candidates for the Justice League's second team, but unfortunately, his partner Blue Devil wasn't selected, so he also gave up.
Such characters are similar to Tracy Thirteen; they might appear in specific situations, but they are basically supporting characters. Under normal circumstances, Su Sheng wouldn't pay attention to them. However, this family was lucky enough to have a live-action American drama, which is why Su Sheng knew a few things. For example, this younger daughter, Jennifer Pierce, studied at her father's school and was in love with a track and field team member and wanted to experience her first intimate encounter.
The result? Perhaps their family education was too open, as she actually told her parents about it during a family dinner.
She very directly said that she would be with someone on a certain day at a certain time!
Her sister had darker skin, and in Su Sheng's opinion, her looks were on par with Iris; she was a lesbian. The younger sister probably ran out of ink when she was born, as her skin tone was more acceptable, and her figure and looks were also superior to her sister's, and she was a surprisingly outspoken individual. All in all, this family was very interesting!
"You can go."
Su Sheng looked at her for a while and smiled. Jennifer Pierce nodded and turned to leave.
"Have you considered finding a new master?" Su Shengturned to Da Bardda.
"You?"
"Darkseid won't let you go, and the Highfather won't accept you for political reasons. Only I can shelter you!" Su Sheng chuckled. "Peace must be fought for. How about you follow me and do what Granny Goodness used to do?"
"Help you train warriors?"
"How do you rate Superman's strength?" Su Shengchanged the subject and asked.
Da Bardda thought for a moment. "Not bad, Kryptonians' strength is indeed quite good. If Kryptonhadn't exploded and been destroyed, it would indeed be a powerful force. Unfortunately…"
"There's nothing to be unfortunate about."
I have 30,000 Kryptonian slaves in my hands; I'll hand them over to you for training. It shouldn't be hard to cultivate a force no weaker than Darkseid's, right?" Su Sheng stood up and patted Da Bardda's shoulder.
"Think about it carefully. When you've made up your mind, you can call me. Here's the number."
Su Sheng pointed casually, and his number appeared on the wall.
The Shockwave Wormhole opened, and Su Shengstepped in, disappearing from view.
Sun rose and moon set, moon rose and sun set.
A new day began. Lucy Lane, having packed her belongings, bid farewell to Lois Lane and was sent back to Earth Thirty-Eight by Su Sheng. Before she left, Su Sheng gave them a communication bracelet, making future contact as convenient as making a phone call.
With Lucy Lane gone, Lois Lane felt a bit empty and unaccustomed to it, but Su Sheng didn't offer much comfort. It was already a rare opportunity for the sisters to meet and spend time together; how many people never get the chance to see those they wish to see again?
Su Sheng had originally planned to stay in Metropolisfor a few more days, to see if there was any news from Da Bardda and to tease Jennifer Pierce, but Caitlin and Flash called him one after another, so he could only return to Central City first.
Inside S.T.A.R. Labs.
Everyone was there.
Iris had already told Flash and the others about the Dominators and Savitar. Knowing the seriousness of the situation, they still discussed and decided to use the philosopher's stone to increase their chances of winning. Furthermore, if the philosopher's stone could give Savitar a chance to escape, keeping it in Su Sheng's hands would be somewhat unsettling. Of course, this thought naturally couldn't be spoken aloud.
"Still want the philosopher's stone?" Su Sheng asked with a light laugh.
Barry Allen nodded. "I know, I know it's dangerous, and maybe, maybe Savitar will find a way to get out, but I believe we can solve this problem. Even if Savitar gets out, we can handle him. But right now, we need more help to fight the Dominators!"
"Beg me!" Su Sheng said with a smile.
Barry Allen was stunned for a moment. "I'm begging you."
"This is you begging me to give the philosopher's stoneto Iris. Don't regret it!"
"No regrets!"
"Alright!"
Su Sheng chuckled and instantly disappeared. Not long after, he returned with the box containing the philosopher's stone!
"The stone is inside. Open it, and Savitar will come out."
Su Sheng said, directly opening the box. The philosopher's stone emitted a bright light, and everyone looked around in surprise.
There was nothing.
"He, where is he?" Iris asked tremblingly.
Su Sheng smiled without speaking, looking at the appearing Savitar.
Savitar was trapped in the Speed Force; only speedsters could see him.
"You betrayed me!" Savitar roared furiously at Su Sheng.
"Betrayal? Do you have the right? Besides, Flashbegged me for this." Su Sheng chuckled. Although his armor covered his face, that furious emotion was all too obvious.
Although Savitar's original plan also involved Flash and the others obtaining the philosopher's stone, it was definitely not under these circumstances or in this manner.
Infuriated, he turned and charged directly at Flash, who was staring at him in shock.
In an instant, a brilliant blue lightning glow illuminated Savitar's body.
...
PS: Black Lightning is from the new DC American drama "Black Lightning." The first season has concluded, and the second season has been renewed. Similar to Marvel's Luke Cage, it's considered a black-centric drama.
