Chapter 159 Don’t spoil it, bro!
Barry Allen’s brow twitched. As a superhero who upholds the law, he instinctively resisted this kind of vigilante justice, but he couldn’t help asking:
"How many... people have you killed?"
"Criminals who have died by my hand? Probably a few hundred."
"But according to a list we intercepted secretly, there are over three hundred child victims. As for the countless adults, they are impossible to count."
"Believe me, Barry Allen, if there is a hell, it definitely wouldn’t be any milder than that place. Even Satan would weep if he saw their actions!"
Lucas tossed the empty cola cup in his hand, his tone cold: "Zoom has killed many innocent people, right? But the people where I come from, sometimes they don’t just kill; they torture. Imagine being raised from childhood to be used as organ transplant donors..."
The few people in the S.T.A.R. Labs control room exchanged glances, the vigilance in their eyes dissipating significantly. The other party didn’t seem like an extremely evil person; on the contrary, he was an extremist of justice.
Although his methods were cruel, like a supervillain’s, at least this man had a very clear bottom line.
Upholding justice.
As for whether he killed or not, Oliver (also known as Green Arrow) in the neighboring Star City sometimes used extremely brutal methods as well.
"This... if it’s as you say, what kind of punishment would your local laws give?" Cisco Ramon asked inappropriately.
The others cast their gazes over.
Cisco Ramon immediately defended himself, "Why are you looking at me like that! I just wanted to understand..."
"Generally speaking, such crimes would definitely carry the death penalty. However, since the perpetrators are all high-ranking politicians and officials, and they are closely connected to one another, even if it were exposed, they would basically remain unaffected."
Lucas said nonchalantly.
"That is the drawback of a capitalist bureaucratic system." Harrison Wells nodded and said.
The others looked at him again.
Harrison Wells defended himself, "On my Earth, I have also been threatened many times. In scientific research, sometimes there is more human interaction to deal with!!"
Caitlin Snow brought the topic back in time, "Then why did you come to our world this time? And why did you save us in the wormhole last time?"
Lucas couldn’t help but look at her a few times.
Caitlin Snow’s fate was quite tragic. After her fiancé Ronnie blew himself up, it took her a long time to move on, and then she prepared to start a new relationship, only for Jay to be killed, and finally, it was confirmed that Jay was a time remnant created by Zoom.
A pure traitor.
In short, Caitlin Snow’s romances always ended in nothing.
From his perspective, it was simply a jinxed life.
Comparable to that young lady from the Redfield family. (Claire from Resident Evil)
Lucas said: "I need to use the spatial nodes of your world as a transit station to go to the next world."
"As for why I saved you last time..." Lucas shrugged, "Purely out of interest, don’t take it to heart. I know you want to ask why I need to transit here; it’s because some worlds have a Supreme Will..."
"The Flash should be able to understand. You have entered the Speed Force; they have their own will, and what I have offended is a Supreme Existence that is several levels more terrifying than the Speed Force here!"
Lucas scanned the room and felt something was off.
Last time he blew up the wormhole, Ronnie shouldn’t have blown himself up yet, so Caitlin Snow’s cursed fate should have changed.
Why didn’t he see Firestorm?
"Caitlin, I remember when we shot the wormhole last time, didn’t you guys have a combined fire man? Call him out to show off!"
Caitlin Snow’s expression changed slightly, her eyes dimmed a little.
Barry Allen sighed and said heavily, "Ronnie is dead... Guardian."
"Dead?" Lucas was stunned, "That’s not right. He hadn’t had the chance to blow himself up to destroy the wormhole yet, right? How could he be dead?"
Barry Allen explained: "Although the wormhole was shattered, the residual spatial rift still connected Earth-1 and Earth-2 together."
"We went to Earth-2 once to save Harrison Wells’ daughter, and Ronnie went with us, but during the retreat, he was killed by Zoom’s subordinate, Reverb!"
"I see." Lucas nodded in realization, "What about his body?"
"There is no body." Caitlin Snow took a deep breath, fighting back tears, "To prevent Zoom from getting the Firestorm matrix data, Ronnie forcibly separated from Professor Stein at the last moment of his life and triggered a micro-nuclear explosion on Earth-2... In the end, only Professor Stein was brought back by Barry Allen."
Lucas sat in the leather chair, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
This plot had deviated slightly from the original TV series, but generally, it was about the same. In this world, everyone seemed to have their own destiny.
Ronnie had to kick the bucket to make room for the one who came later.
Tsk!
It can only be said to be in line with the original work.
Mixing black and white has almost become a standard for American TV shows, especially in the later stages of The Flash, where you bump into one every three steps.
This is the so-called convergence of world lines.
"It’s clear that you paid a considerable price to deal with that blue speedster." Lucas stuffed the last bite of the burger into his mouth and stood up, clapping his hands.
Barry Allen stared fixedly at Lucas, complex light flashing in his eyes: "Guardian, I have a question. When you were in the industrial zone just now, you clearly agreed to help us capture Zoom alive."
"Why did you suddenly change your mind at the last moment? You could have ended all of this and saved Joe just by lifting a finger!"
Lucas put his hands in his pockets, passed Barry Allen, and walked to the S.T.A.R. Labs computer.
"Because Big Brother is watching me, Barry. You have your own destiny, and people from outside worlds cannot interfere, otherwise, they will be expelled. When a traveler is crossing borders, the last thing they want to see is this kind of thing!"
"Once I am expelled, I will face imprisonment for years, or even decades!"
"Last time I ruled Westeros, that was a low-dimensional world. If I commit an offense again this time, who knows if I’ll be moved to a high-dimensional world? By then, wasting a few hundred years is entirely possible!"
Cisco Ramon and Barry Allen were stunned at the same time.
"Wait!"
Cisco Ramon interrupted, not even caring about being afraid, "You just said, you went to what continent?"
"Is it the Westeros I’m thinking of?" Barry Allen’s eyes lit up.
"Guys?" Caitlin Snow spread her hands.
Pay attention to the focus, please! We are clearly probing the background of this stranger!
Facing Caitlin Snow’s reminder, the two Game of Thrones fanatics clearly had no time to worry about the main plot.
"Caitlin, don’t speak for a second, this is the most important part!" Cisco Ramon said with excitement.
Barry Allen nodded.
"Westeros, Essos, the Dragon Queen, three dragons, and the White Walkers beyond the Wall... That’s right, I went to the world written by George R.R. Martin!"
Lucas nodded, completely indifferent to the envy in the eyes of the two Game of Thrones fanatics.
"Then you... met Daenerys Targaryen?"
"Yeah, we have a kid!"
Barry Allen: "..."
Cisco Ramon: "..."
Harrison Wells interrupted directly, "Gentlemen, let’s talk about business!"
He looked at Lucas, "The Supreme Will you mentioned, is it still watching us few people, forbidding any behavior that changes the future?"
"This is hard to explain!" Lucas said, "Your future is not fixed for you, but from my perspective, everyone’s future is already a foregone conclusion. For example, you already know that the Dragon Queen will die at the hands of Jon Snow..."
"Oh, oh, oh! Bro, don’t spoil it. The Game of Thrones in our world hasn’t updated to that season yet!" Barry Allen interrupted hurriedly.
But it was too late.
Cisco Ramon was heartbroken!
"You mean, the Dragon Queen was killed by Jon Snow?"
"Yeah, that’s right. It fits the plot template of internal self-destruction in the Targaryen family."
Lucas nodded.
"The Targaryen family, what? Jon Snow is Daenerys Targaryen’s relative? Then that means he’s not Ned Stark’s bastard!" Barry Allen also looked shocked.
Forget it! Spoiled again!
Harrison Wells and Caitlin Snow looked at each other and gave up communicating on the spot.
