Many things had happened recently, causing Barry Eren to be mentally exhausted.
Before this, he had never realized that being a hero was such a difficult thing. Behind the heroes who could solve all the bad things with a wave of their hands, there were still so many details that needed to be paid attention to.
He was already the fastest person in the world, but unfortunately, no matter how fast his fingers danced, he couldn't untie the butterfly knots that were woven by the will of darkness.
Especially after witnessing the huge explosion that destroyed at least 4 streets and caused more than 300 people to die in a sea of fire, Barry was filled with helplessness and depression. Even if it was unintentional, he was still the direct instigator of the incident. If he didn't gather those people together, the death toll wouldn't have reached such a terrifying level.
Last night, after he handed the last survivor to The Devil Gang, he returned home and closed his eyes. His mind was filled with the screams of the dead, causing him to spend the entire night in self-blame and regret.
"Hu"
He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from his bed. Just a moment ago, another nightmare enveloped him. Blood, death, and flames were just like hell. Cruel tentacles stretched out and dragged him into the endless abyss. He ran with all his might, as fast as light, but he still couldn't stop the tentacles from chasing after him.
"I'm going crazy! Why does it have to be me! That damned lightning … Oh my god! "
Barry grabbed his hair and muttered to himself. 300 lives might not be worth mentioning to someone like Saber, it wouldn't even make him blink his eyes. But to the kind Barry, this would definitely make his soul uneasy.
Looking haggard, he got up from his bed and washed up. He decided to go to the church today and pray like those believers. Maybe this would make him feel better. On the table was the breakfast prepared by his adoptive father, Joe West. His childhood sweetheart, Miss Iris, had already gone to work. He was the only one left in the room.
He ate his breakfast silently and turned his head to look. The light shone through the window and onto the ground. It was so quiet that it was as if he was the only one left in the world.
He raised his head and saw a special card on the table. He picked it up. On it was a sentence left by his adoptive father.
"Come home tonight! I have something very important to show you! Don't tell anyone about this! "
Barry nodded. Ever since his father was locked up in the prison in Midtown, Joe had been playing the role of his father. In Barry's heart, Joe was no different from his real father. Other than the fact that they were not related by blood, they were already a real family.
Charle wasn't the kind of person who would speak without thinking. If he said that there was something important, then it must be very important.
15 minutes later, Barry walked out of his room in casual clothes. He didn't use his super speed. Instead, he walked on the street like an ordinary person. Because of the attack yesterday, there were very few people on the streets. Coupled with the burning smell coming from the sky, the city looked like a post-war ruin.
It was desolate and quiet, causing one's mood to be suppressed.
Barry walked into the small church in his neighborhood. Just like the streets, there was no one here. Even the priest who usually preached was nowhere to be seen. Yesterday's battle had opened up a small opening at the top of the church. A ray of sunlight shone into the dark interior through the small opening.
It was like a lamp. This scene fell into the eyes of Barry who was uncertain. He suddenly had a unique feeling. He couldn't help but walk into the light. He reached out his hand and felt the warmth of the sunlight on his hand. Not only did it shine on his skin, it even shone on his heart.
Flash raised his head and looked at the Christ statue in front of him. In this empty environment, he couldn't help but open his mouth and say a prayer from the Bible.
"Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name …"
The first sentence was heard, but it wasn't his voice that followed.
"Why do you have to come to the church to pray?"
A familiar voice sounded behind him. Barry immediately turned around and saw Oliver Quinn who was wearing a gray suit. The distance between Central City and Star City wasn't far. For Barry, it only took a few seconds. Oliver Quinn was an active hero in Star City. He was the first special person he met other than Saber. They could be considered as friends.
Oliver walked into the small church and looked at Barry. His brown eyes were shining with a cold light.
"The church is for secrets. Keeping secrets will destroy one's spirit. You need to share secrets to ensure your inner peace. However, sharing secrets with others is risky. So, we can only find an existence that will never leak the secret. God … tell him the secret. So, this is the secret between you and God."
"It's a very childish idea, isn't it?"
Oliver stood in front of Barry. He looked at the young man in front of him. He saw the confusion and helplessness in the young man's eyes. It was a pair of eyes that belonged to a boy.
"I heard about everything that happened in Central City. I thought you needed help, so I came."
Oliver patted Barry on the shoulder and turned his head to look at the Christ statue in his eyes. He whispered:
"Let's find a place to talk. God is not in the world, so he can't help you."
Barry nodded silently and followed Oliver out of the church. Soon, they arrived at the scene of yesterday's explosion. Because there were more than a dozen pilots from Ten Ring Gang mixed in, the explosion of the missile buried at least three of them. The super energy given by Extremis was mixed in the flames, and the result was that the power of this explosion was far beyond imagination.
A depression of more than five meters appeared on the ground, and it was full of all kinds of charred wreckage. It looked as terrifying as a hellish killing field.
"Why did you come here?"
Barry turned his head to look at Oliver. The latter looked through the car door at the scene of the explosion. He could simulate the scene at that time with his imagination. It was no wonder that Little Lightning's mind was crushed. Such a scene was indeed a bit too terrifying for a young man.
"If your opponent is fear, you have to learn to face it instead of running away from it."
Oliver got out of the car and walked towards the explosion pit. Barry followed behind him. The closer he got, the more he could feel the invisible sadness and despair, and even the power inside his body was a little unstable … Wait, this doesn't seem to be an illusion!
Barry raised his head sharply, and in front of his eyes, Oliver shrugged:
"I'm sorry, Barry, but I'm on their side!"
After saying that, two daggers jumped out of Oliver's hands and stabbed towards Barry. At the same time, a golden array line escaped from under the feet of the two men. A super-large golden array with a radius of nearly 100 meters, covering most of the explosion pit appeared under Barry and Oliver's feet.
Those array lines emitted a golden halo, and under its shroud, Barry could feel the energy in his body being absorbed little by little.
"Why!"
His figure turned into lightning and dodged Oliver's fatal blow. The latter was silent, but he accelerated the attack frequency in his hands. Barry didn't fight back and kept retreating. His eyes shone with an unbelievable light:
"What the hell! Oliver, are you crazy? "
His speed was extremely fast. For someone who could move at the speed of light, the attack of the Green Arrow in front of him was no different from a snail crawling. But he didn't want to hurt his friend, and he still believed that Oliver was forced to do this.
It wasn't until he retreated to the edge of the magic circle that a golden flash lit up behind him. Barry quickly turned his head around. What he saw was a beast-head long stick wrapped in a bright light. It accurately smashed his waist, breaking his rapid escape and forcing him back into the magic circle.
Saber, who walked out of the portal, stretched his fingers and looked at the wonderful attack of the fat sorcerer beside him. He asked in a low voice:
"King, I'm curious, how did you hit him just now? Look, his speed is just like light. "
The fat sorcerer King propped the beast-head long stick in his hand on the ground. Kamar-Taj's magic artifact shone with the light of magic. Three layers of complex magic seals covered the center of the long stick, making it look like a gorgeous staff.
Facing Saber's question, Kamar-Taj, a senior sorcerer with a fierce face but a very easy to get along with, shrugged and said softly:
"That's the power of magic."
"So sometimes I really envy you lunatics who can use magic."
Saber spread out his hands, and the demonized claws covered his palms. Behind him, the 7 sorcerers from the New York Sanctum appeared at the edge of the large Energy Drain Array. Under the leadership of the king, they cast at the same time, and a thick bowl-shaped barrier shrouded the array.
"The Energy Drain Array is a double barrier that continuously suppresses and weakens him. The longer he stays here, the weaker he will be. We will support the barrier and trap him in it, but if possible, I still hope you can finish the battle as soon as possible."
The king said to Saber:
"This kind of array that is only used when hunting super-large magic creatures is a double-edged sword. Its damage to the ground is permanent. If it stays here for too long, the ground under our feet will become a desert."
"Then you'd better hold on for a longer time."
Saber lowered his voice and looked at the Flash Barry who was trying to break through the barrier from various points. He whispered: "You and I both know that he's just bait. The real fish hasn't appeared yet."
"Oliver! Tell me what's going on! "
Barry crazily shouted. His figure was wrapped in dark red lightning, and he was running back and forth in this large scale enchantment at an extremely fast speed. In less than 2 seconds, he had attacked this enchantment no less than 2000 times. It was like a ball colliding at high speed inside the enchantment, causing the enchantment to show signs of instability.
"Increase the mana!"
The king ordered the other mages. In the next moment, the thick barrier became even stronger as more mana was poured into it. It was like an invisible wall.
Facing a group of veteran Kamar-Taj battle mages, even the fastest man in the world would not be able to break through the barrier easily. What's more, Barry did not have any experience fighting against this kind of magic opponent. He didn't even know how to fight back.
He could feel that the energy in his body was flowing away. Not only the energy in his body, but also the energy that made him run faster. Although it was very slow, the process of loss was real. He could feel that his speed was slowing down.
Even in the eyes of outsiders, he was still a swaying red light.
"Oliver Quinn! I won't be polite anymore! "
The negative emotions in his heart were triggered. Barry Allen clenched his teeth and turned into a beam of light, rushing towards Oliver who was still standing on the spot. This kind of super fast speed was impossible to dodge. The moment Oliver retreated, his body was hit by more than a dozen punches and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
However, just when Barry was about to follow up with another attack, a huge figure appeared in front of him. Purplish black claws were hanging by his side, and two flaming snakes were wrapped around his arms. As he swung his claws forward, a scorching wave of flames scattered in the sky, forcing the Flash to retreat.
Barry's figure appeared not far away. He raised his head and looked at Saber. The moment he appeared, Barry finally knew who was going to deal with him. So he shouted:
"Saber! I didn't collude with the military! I didn't want to kill your friends! I was wronged! "
"But The Devil Gang lost 146 people!"
Saber's angry roar resounded through the entire enchantment. His dark red eyes stared at Barry Allen. He raised his left claw and pointed at him with the sharp claw:
"Someone has to pay with their life! This time it's your turn, Barry! You're no longer my friend! I can guarantee that you'll die here today! "
The Flash's heart sank. He took a deep breath and turned into a bolt of lightning, dodging Seiber's flaming spear. He felt that his speed had slowed down again. He desperately needed help. While he was running, he put on the portable earpiece in his pocket and shouted at the person who could help him at this moment, "Brother Seiber, Brother Seiber, Brother Seiber!
"Dr. Harrison … I need help! I'm trapped by Saber! "
