Superman

Midtown, apartment.

According to legend, the magic treadmill that can take speed users through time and space, and even travel through various parallel universes, is actually no different from those common equipment in gyms.

At least Luke didn't see anything special.

Except that the running belt is made of special anti-friction materials, other components are commonplace.

Over the past few days, Barry has spent more energy on coordinate readings, time and space anchors and the like.

"You can use this to return to the time and space of the main universe?"

Luke looked suspiciously at the Flash who was warming up.

He didn't want it, Barry ran early or back.

In case of bad luck, directly fall into the future metal event and face Barbatos and the Laughing Bat.

Or later, appear in the Kingdom of Heaven, the Justice Society of America, etc.

That would be too bad!

"of course."

Barry nodded affirmatively. This is not the first time he has used a cosmic treadmill.

In terms of traveling through time and space, apart from Reverse Lightning, no one should be more professional than himself.

"Trust me, Luke, you will see another Clark soon."

Only him and the Kryptonian cousin were in the apartment. Batman Thomas Wayne did not show up. The other party just reminded them to remember the letter that was passed to Bruce properly.

Carl Al, who was thin, was distracted and happily stayed at the Flash's mother's house, waiting for dinner.

The truth behind this distorted time and space is too cruel.

After careful consideration, Luke and Barry chose to hide.

"Then let's start."

Luke touched his chest, where there was a photo of him and Diana.

This is the only trace that he has been in this world.

As long as the Flash breaks through the barrier of time again and returns to the time and space of the main universe.

Everything here will vanish, collapse and fall apart.

"We will see you again."

The corners of Luke's mouth raised, and he and the proud Amazon princess had already bid their final farewell.

Barry nodded and looked out the window with eyes full of nostalgia and dismay.

"Goodbye, mother."

Compared with the affectionate parting of Luke and Diana, the Flash's inner feelings are more complicated and the choices he faces are more cruel.

The Kryptonian cousin and Wonder Woman can still meet in the main time and space, but Barry's mother will never come back. Her fate is firmly fixed at the moment of being murdered by Reverse Lightning.

"Need to say goodbye again?"

Luke saw the sad expression on Barry's face and couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder.

"You can't think too much when you run, the more hesitate, the slower the speed."

The Flash shook his head. This was a mistake he made, and he should correct it.

"Thank you, Luke, but... this responsibility belongs to me."

After making a decision in his heart and abandoning excess feelings, Barry turned on the power of the cosmic treadmill, and then began to run hard.

The tiny electric lights seem to be connected to a certain illusory space, forming a substantial force field, covering the entire apartment.

Luke felt the strong surging of super power, like a surging wave, constantly releasing energy.

Soon, the rapidly expanding force field enveloped him, and together with the two figures in the apartment, he escaped from this wrong time and space that shouldn't exist.

boom!

"Ah! This is... I saw three timelines, why?!"

Barry broke through the barrier of time and opened a wormhole like a cloud.

However, three different time and space appeared in his eyes.

It's like a fork in the road!

"This is what once existed...reality."

Luke didn't fall into doubt, the three timelines, one is the flash point of twisting and collapse, the other is the former main space-time, and the other is the 52 new parallel universes in the future.

"Barry, don't hesitate to follow your heart! Just focus on yourself and you will return to the right time and space!"

A firm and powerful voice came clearly into Flash's ears.

In his heart, he must continue to accelerate, madly advancing along the parallel "channel" of past and future, history and reality!

Floating light and glimpsing shadows, flashing constantly, it is a fragment of various memories.

next moment!

Barry saw himself!

The self who opened the wormhole and prepared to change the established facts and save the mother!

The one who caused all these mistakes and caused countless tragedies!

"I understand how you feel, but you have to stop, you have to... stop!"

All the energy of the speed force burst out, supporting the Flash to accelerate again and break the limit.

He grabbed the "self" abruptly and threw it to the ground.

Flash point, just rewrite it!

Boom!

The invisible loud noise reverberated endlessly, as if the long river of time and space collapsed and collapsed, triggering an endless chain reaction.

Earth, multiverse, superheroes, justice league...

The trajectory of destiny is constantly changing, as if being moved by a pair of invisible hands.

"Barry..."

The swift force of energy hit Luke, and he and the galloping Flash separated and entered a completely different time stream.

...

...

"Barry, what's the matter with you?"

The Flash, whose consciousness fell into darkness, suddenly woke up and saw the dark face of his adoptive father Joe.

"Is it too tired recently? If you can't hold it, go home early and rest."

A kind and familiar voice rang in Barry's ear, and everything seemed so far away, so trance, like a dream.

"Please, we have spent eighteen hours on this case. Sometimes it's not a good thing to get too tight."

Joe comforted.

Barry looked down at the information at hand, and the words "Rogue Gang" and "Captain Cold" were vaguely displayed on it.

"Joe, do you know Superman?"

He asked hesitantly.

"Of course, the Metropolitan Superman, who wouldn't know! He also made the front page of the Daily Planet because he saved a crashed plane last month!"

Joe looked at Barry with a strange expression, completely not understanding why the other party asked this.

"Now all kinds of superheroes and super criminals are emerging in an endless stream. The world is changing so fast that our police are no longer useful."

Barry clenched his fists excitedly when he heard Joe's muttering.

He succeeded!

This is the correct time and space of the main universe!

"But Luke, where is he?"

As he calmed down, Barry frowned, as if thinking of something.

He touched the pocket of his shirt, where there was a letter spanning time and space.

The "present" that Dr. Wayne gave him is still there, but what about the big cousin of Krypton?

...

...

"This is the ten years you stole it?"

Luke failed to travel to the main universe time and space, or to be more precise, someone stopped him.

A naked man with blue skin and no clothes.

"You know... a lot."

The naked man sat cross-legged in the air, with indifferent eyes and no trace of emotion.

Behind him is a huge palace like a clock, with mechanical gears interlocking and rotating, full of absolute mathematical harmony and perfection.

"Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

The blue-skinned naked man stared at Luke calmly, no one could see his inner thoughts.

"Luke Cavill, Superman's big cousin... are you satisfied with this answer, Doctor Manhattan?"

Luke tried to restrain every slight mental fluctuation to prevent the other person from perceiving his mind and reading his thoughts.

"You are not a Kryptonian."

The man called "Doctor Manhattan" shook his head and said.

"You are someone who came to this universe from... other places, just like me."
