Chapter 188: An 80,000-Level Welder!
As soon as Lucas finished speaking, the avatar of the Speed Force suddenly surged. Inside the entire Time Bowl, black lightning rolled toward Lucas like a tsunami.
"Disperse!"
Lucas flicked his sleeve, and the Power of Infinity erupted, effortlessly freezing the thunder filling the sky.
The ancient god who ruled time and speed was frozen in place by Lucas, along with the Time Bowl below and even the other Universes that were about to collide.
This was the power of the Multiversal level!
Even the weakest Multiversal entity was not something a single Universe could compare to.
Let alone a flawed Universe.
Lucas arrived before the avatar of the Speed Force; what was before him was merely a shell, not the Speed Force itself.
The Speed Force itself might be vaster than Earth’s oceans, and its will could cover the entire Universe. No matter which Universe it was in, it was one of the fundamental forces.
"Reality warping, will erasure!"
A Flash of light gleamed in Lucas’s eyes, erasing the will of the Speed Force out of thin air.
Hum!!!
The self-awareness of the Speed Force completely vanished, and the entire ocean of the Speed Force lost its aggressiveness, turning into the purest primitive power.
If given enough time, the Speed Force would still give birth to a new will.
But Lucas clearly would not give the Speed Force that chance.
"I grant you a vaster space, and I grant you more power of time!"
Lucas took out the Calcified Speed Force.
With just a swipe over it, the original Calcified Speed Force was directly upgraded.
"Absorb!"
He raised the Calcified Speed Force, and the endless River of Time transformed into a blue dragon, swallowed whole by the calcified stone.
The massive origin of the Speed Force was entirely absorbed into the Calcified Speed Force in just over a dozen seconds, sealed within it completely.
Even if just a tiny bit leaked out,
it would be enough to create the ultimate Speedster.
Lucas planned to take out half and throw it into the CW Universe to replenish the Speed Force; after all, that Universe would sooner or later be his property.
As for the remaining half!
Creating a few Speedsters to act as muscle was also a good choice.
For example, Zoom Spider-Man, Zoom Wasp, Zoom Solova...
A Zoom army!
Lacking the maintenance of the Speed Force origin, the grand Time Bowl developed cracks.
At the center of the bowl’s bottom, two Barrys were still running tirelessly, with Speed Force energy weakly leaking out.
This was due to Barry’s uniqueness.
When other Speedsters ran, they would consume the Speed Force; only Barry Allen was different, as every step he ran would generate a trace amount of Speed Force.
Relying solely on these two Barrys whose legs were about to run off, they could at best hold up the Time Bowl and slow down its collapse, completely powerless to stop the changes outside.
"This is barely anything!"
Lucas floated toward the outer periphery of the Time Bowl, his right hand forming a blade. Relying solely on physical strength alone, he could slice through the spatial membrane of a single Universe, creating a multi-dimensional passage out of thin air and forcefully breaking into the Time Bowl.
Rip!
Accompanied by a soft sound, the two Barrys simultaneously froze in place, blankly turning their heads to look over here.
They saw a pair of large hands reaching out, forcefully tearing open cosmic space.
"Little bear, little bear, run! Here is Johnny!! "
Lucas poked his head out.
To create a terrifying atmosphere, his eyes lit up with scarlet, and his entire body exuded a terrifying ferocious aura.
"Not good!"
Cold sweat poured down Barry’s face.
Lucas completely stepped onto the Time Bowl, the residual power of time washing over his body, while he stood like a giant outside the River of Time, completely unaffected.
"As long as I don’t provoke the Dr. Manhattan Universe, he shouldn’t bother with me!"
Lucas seriously glanced around a few times.
Besides Dr. Manhattan, some Universes still had tricky fellows. For instance, the solar system of one Universe was welcoming an unprecedented great darkness because a Sun-Eater had descended and swallowed the Sun.
Outside the Source Wall of this Universe, Green Lantern Hal Jordan floated in the void.
The power inside him was violent to the extreme, probably at the top single Universe level, having stepped half a foot into the dimension-ascending level?
Forget it, better not provoke him.
Who knew what level of combat power Hal Jordan could reach once the power of Parallax inside him was fully released? Even if he was weaker than himself, he might still capsize.
After all, that fellow had nothing left and wandered around like a madman.
From time to time, he even went to hang around the Source Wall. If he got dragged onto the wall by him, he wouldn’t even have a place to cry!
Lucas spewed Omega Beams, breaking through the World barriers one by one. Those Supermen imprisoned in their respective times were directly pulled into the Time Bowl by Lucas.
For a time,
the entire space-time turned into a mess.
There wasn’t a single M in the sky, but there were a whole bunch of S’s.
Cage’s Superman had long black hair. Compared to many gentle-looking Supermen, his gaze was much more ferocious.
After all, on the pitch-black Earth, he had fought his way through swarms of Doomsday giant spiders up to now, and had not even absorbed the light of the Sun for a long time.
For such an existence, rating him at a weak single-Universe combat power was not excessive at all.
"Outsider, what is going on? My World... why is it collapsing?"
Lucas floated in front of Cage’s Superman, "That World of yours had already lost hope to begin with. Even if it collapses, does it make any difference to you?"
Cage’s Superman wore a blank expression.
"I... I don’t know..."
His reason for fighting was simply to survive; this was an instinct engraved deep in the genes of any living creature.
"I’ll give you a chance to go to another World and live a normal person’s life, but the only price is to become my subordinate from now on. In the days to come, I will launch a Great Crusade!"
"And you will be my vanguard!"
Cage’s Superman frowned deeply. "A Great Crusade?"
He glanced at the Time Bowl under his feet, then looked at the collapsing Universes one by one.
"Forget it! It’s still better than being in that flawed World. I agree!"
"Very good!"
Lucas patted his shoulder and said generously, "I’ll send you a yellow Sun, let you absorb to your heart’s content!"
Cage’s Superman breathed a sigh of relief.
"That would be even better. I haven’t absorbed the light of a yellow Sun for many years!"
Lucas looked at his enchanted expression.
He thought it was better not to give him one, just let him absorb a bit of sunlight.
Otherwise, if this fellow lay in the core of the Sun for fifty thousand years, wouldn’t he beat him up like a dog when he came out?
Superman truly was a double-edged sword.
Later, I’ll find the Anti-Life Equation and leave it as a backup measure!
He took out the Calcified Speed Force, extracted Cage from the timeline, and stuffed him in.
Lacking the support of Superman, that Universe filled entirely with Doomsday giant spiders directly collapsed.
"No! What are you doing? Stop!"
Barry shouted hysterically.
"Get aside!"
Lucas casually slapped him, directly putting the Flash to sleep.
"You cannot do this, outsider!"
Reeve’s version of the older Superman was full of a sense of justice, raising his iron fist and charging directly at Lucas.
"Don’t say that! I just want to stir up some trouble, so contribute your Worlds!"
Lucas sneered, and Omega Beams surged forth.
However, he did not attack Superman and Supergirl, but instead used the Omega Effect to forcefully weld multiple single Universes—such as Reeve’s Superman, Smallville’s Superman, and Wolf Superman—onto the Flash Universe.
An 80,000-level welder, kid!
