Chapter 272 - TDP Chapter 271: Just Playing

Becoming a bad guy was a novel experience for Flash.

Of course, Flash knew that his 'bad guy' persona was actually just a good guy in bad guy's clothing; he was still a Superhero at heart.

But at least in other people's eyes, he was a bad guy.

What does a bad guy do?

Flash didn't know, but he was sure that saving people was definitely not something a bad guy should do.

"No, or maybe I could say saving a companion? Oh, God, I really don't want to do bad things while wearing this suit."

Wearing Flash's suit but doing things only a villain would do, Flash felt a little sorry for the uniform he was wearing.

And also sorry to Bruce, who funded the creation of this uniform for him.

Not Flashpoint World's Bruce, but Flash's own world's Bruce.

But on second thought, they weren't in this world anyway, so Flash could seemingly do whatever he wanted without having to worry about them…

That didn't seem right; Flash wouldn't dare guarantee that he could keep his mouth shut under Wonder Woman Diana's Lasso of Truth if he encountered her.

"I must have lost my mind to agree to play the villain for Kevin…"

Recalling Diana, Flash finally realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

Even if no one knew about his actions in this world, once he returned to his own world, being subjected to Diana's Lasso of Truth would still make him reveal the things he least wanted to face.

Flash, of course, believed his companions wouldn't think he had truly become a villain, but this incident would definitely become a laughing matter among them.

He could even guess how Aquaman Arthur would tease him.

Just thinking about the scene made Flash's face flush.

"How about I save them and then just leave?"

Having lost his initial excitement, Flash began to backpedal, contemplating leaving after saving the people.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw a pitch-black figure.

In that instant, Flash even thought he saw Batman.

!!

Flash, who nearly cried out, clutched his mouth, and only after looking closely did he see that the person wasn't Batman, but Black Noir from The Seven.

This usually silent member of The Seven stood directly in Flash's path, watching him silently.

Flash, who was already feeling a little guilty for doing bad things, felt even more at a loss when he saw Black Noir standing before him.

Should he go around him and ignore him? Or should he knock him out first?

Since he was a bad guy now, he should choose the latter; the fewer witnesses to his actions, the easier his operation would be.

But… taking the initiative to attack someone, and a Superhero at that, Flash couldn't quite get past that hurdle in his mind.

Flash was still hesitating, but Black Noir wasn't; he looked at Flash's red Superhero suit, then at Flash, and then assumed a running stance, charging towards Flash.

"You want to fight, huh? Although I'm sorry, I don't want to be arrested as a bad guy."

Confirming that Black Noir had no intention of communicating, and seeing Black Noir charging at him, golden lightning surged around Flash.

Then, with a crackling sound of electricity, Black Noir was sent flying backward, his body crashing heavily against the wall, unable to get up.

Facing a Speedster from the DC Universe, the Supe of the The Boys world seemed to have no power to fight back at all.

Not to mention that Black Noir, apart from excellent self-healing abilities and the steel-like bones that most Supes possess, had no other skills.

As for combat techniques, gunmanship, and such, they were useless in front of Flash.

Flash only needed to enter his Speedster state, and then with a gentle push, he could send the opponent flying.

Just like he did to those Parademons during Steppenwolf's invasion.

Black Noir was sent flying by Flash in this manner; because Flash was certain of Black Noir's sturdy body, he used a bit of force, resulting in Black Noir being instantly defeated and completely knocked unconscious.

"Sorry, I don't think I used too much force…"

"You killed him?"

"I didn't… Ahhhhhh!!!"

A sudden crisp sound rang in Flash's ear.

Flash subconsciously responded and turned his head to look, only to see a blue head emerging from the ground.

Blue, transparent, ethereal…

Just seeing this figure, Flash immediately thought of a ghost, and all the words he was about to say turned into terrified screams.

The transparent ghost emerged from the ground, and seeing Flash's frightened expression, she rolled her eyes:

"Stop making noise, do you want to call all of Vought's security personnel over?"

!

Hearing the Female Ghost say this, Flash immediately covered his mouth with both hands, and after a short while, he removed his hands and asked in a very low voice:

"You… you you you… are you… a Supe or…"

"I'm a ghost, you know."

The ghost, whose body had fully emerged from the ground, smiled and introduced herself.

Flash blinked when he saw her body, then quickly turned away, not looking at her:

"Do ghosts not wear clothes?!"

The girl, who called herself a ghost, wore nothing, her female body appearing stark naked before Flash's eyes.

Flash, still a virgin, couldn't handle this sight; even though the girl was entirely blue and didn't look human at all, Flash instinctively turned his head away.

The ghost, who had only intended to scare Flash, was instead stunned by his reaction.

To be fair, in this country where the concept of 'sex' was extremely open and chaotic, Flash's pure reaction was as rare as an ice cube in the desert.

The ghost also found it difficult to continue scaring Flash, mainly because she heard the footsteps of Vought security approaching.

"My ability is this; I can't carry clothes, so I can only appear before others in this way."

"So you're a Supe?"

"Of course, otherwise, do you think there are really ghosts in this world?"

…That's hard to say.

Flash muttered.

The DC Universe even has gods, so it wouldn't be strange to have ghosts and reapers and such.

The ghost showed a very speechless expression; not knowing Flash's identity, she just felt that this guy might have some problems in his head.

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, the ghost simply said:

"Alright, stop discussing such pointless questions. You're also here to cause trouble for Vought, right? You run very fast, don't you? What do you want to do? I can help you."

"I… I want to go save Starlight…"

"Oh, what a coincidence."

The ghost blinked, her body sinking back into the ground, then she emerged her head and one hand from the wall in front of Flash, pointing to the distant stairs:

"See that fire escape over there? That's a private staircase, only special cards can open it. Go up that staircase to the 42nd floor, and you'll find Starlight."

"Is… is that so? Thank you, wait… did you just say you also came for Starlight?"

"Of course, alright, don't ask so many questions. I'll go up and wait for you first, no, you run very fast, maybe you'll wait for me… anyway, we'll see then."

The ghost said, her head also sinking into the wall, leaving only one hand waving at Flash, before she completely disappeared.

And it was in the very next second after she disappeared that the private staircase, pointed to by the ghost in the distance, was kicked open with brute force.

A group of Vought security personnel appeared at the stairwell, armed with guns.

They aimed their guns at Flash, and some even took out strange devices that emitted irritating ultrasonic waves.

However, this seemed to have no effect on Flash.

And the moment he saw these people, golden electric arcs flashed around Flash's body, and in less than a blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from where he stood.

At the same time, the security personnel surrounding the stairwell all fell to the ground in a chaotic heap.

These security personnel who came to support Black Noir couldn't even last a second before Flash dealt with all of them.

Even during this time, Flash didn't forget Kevin's instructions, taking Black Noir's notebook, writing a message on it saying 'God of Mist's companion The Reverse Flash says hello to you all', and throwing it on the security personnel's bodies.

Perfectly completing the task Kevin had assigned.

Promoting the God of Mist and the existence of a new villain alliance.

Although Flash was muttering to himself that he didn't want Diana and the others to know about this.

But his movements were not slow at all, and he was very obedient, doing whatever Kevin asked.

From this point of view, he was a qualified tool man.

Bringing Rebecca and her son back took Kevin no time at all.

As soon as the mist rose, using the mist to drag their legs, flying away from the air, it would only take ten-odd minutes to get from the hidden place where Vought was 'protecting' them back to Mallory's villa.

And during this time, Kevin also created a new skill through the mist.

Cloud Riding!

Shaping the mist and water droplets beneath his feet, dragging his body into the air to fly; from an outsider's perspective, this was the mythical Cloud Riding!

To be honest, it was only at this moment that Kevin remembered this skill, which was somewhat incredible.

But Kevin had been in America since he transmigrated, only encountering Supes, aliens, Norse gods…

They didn't have the Cloud Riding skill, so it wasn't too hard to understand why Kevin hadn't thought of creating this skill.

Anyway, the skill was created, usable, and could fly, that was enough!

Perhaps in the future, if he had the chance to go to a fantasy world, Kevin could also cosplay as an immortal.

Bringing people back with this Eastern-inspired ethereal skill, Kevin also happened to meet Butcher, who had just returned.

Seeing Kevin bring back his wife and the little burden, Ryan, Butcher, who had originally intended to ask Kevin something, froze on the spot. He stared blankly at his wife, Rebecca, then looked up at Kevin in astonishment, unable to speak for a long time.

Kevin flashed to the side, revealing Rebecca's figure, and smiled at Butcher:

"Aren't you going to hug your wife?"

Butcher's expression was stiff; he tried to pull his lips upwards but couldn't.

After quietly looking at his wife for a long time, Butcher finally followed Kevin's suggestion and went forward to hug Rebecca, but after only a few seconds of hugging, Butcher let go of Rebecca and looked at Kevin:

"I think we should talk."

"It's rare to see your wife, but you want to talk to me first. Aren't you afraid your wife will misunderstand?"

…Don't make me swear in front of my wife, Kevin."

"Alright, I thought our relationship was good enough for jokes… Oh, I remember now, the one I have a good relationship with isn't you, it's another Butcher."

Kevin, who was in a rather good mood, joked with Butcher.

But seeing that Butcher had no intention of smiling, he shrugged boredly:

"OKOK, let's talk."

Walking to a slightly further place with Kevin, Butcher looked back at his wife in front of the villa, and after a moment of silence, he asked Kevin:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Everything! Neuman, God of Mist, and now Rebecca! What… what is your purpose in coming to this world? Do you really want to bring down Vought?"

Butcher asked the crucial questions.

He couldn't understand what Kevin wanted to do now, or why he was doing it, and this lack of knowledge made Butcher feel that things were gradually getting out of control.

This feeling was not pleasant.

Butcher stared at Kevin, hoping to find answers from him.

He was also prepared for a verbal battle with Kevin.

But what Butcher didn't expect was that Kevin actually gave a straightforward answer.

However, the answer the other party gave was a bit difficult for Butcher to accept.

Kevin spread his hands and said with a smile:

"I never said I wanted to bring down Vought. I didn't come to this world with any special purpose. I just want to go home, but you guys are making all sorts of demands that prevent me from going back, so… I can only find ways to have fun myself."

…So you're playing around?

"Yes, I'm playing, and I'm having a lot of fun right now."

Kevin grinned.

Doing things aimlessly, doing whatever he wanted, treating everything as a game—this feeling was really great.

At this moment, Kevin somewhat understood Homelander's feelings
