"So, you're telling me that you're a future traveler from the 7th century?"
Saber rubbed his chin and looked at Barry Allen in front of him as if he was looking at a rare animal. Yes, the stronger one.
After removing his visor, this fellow was indeed more mature than the current Barry. His emotions were more straightforward and cheerful. However, judging from his sitting posture and the way he observed his surroundings, he was definitely a seasoned warrior. He was completely different from the current Barry Allen who was still a fledgling in the field.
Facing Saber's question, the future Barry shrugged.
"Yes, it's the real deal. The 27th century, the Interstellar Era. We've already stepped into the Centaurus Galaxy. I'm the chief security officer of the Third Galaxy's Central Cantilever Star. I'm a public servant. Contact the best employee in the past 21 years. Oh yeah!"
The future Barry lifted up his arm and revealed the cartoon black devil tattoo on his arm. He smiled and said, "I've told you before.
I'm actually a fan of the Devil Empire. Of course, we're enemies on the surface. However, the galaxy that you control is too far away from us so it's hard for me to see you. To be precise, I've only seen you three times in the past 21 years. I have to say, you were much more domineering and powerful at that time. "
The amount of information in this sentence was a little too much. Saber couldn't help but scratch his head. He let out a sigh of relief.
"Aren't you afraid of affecting the future world by saying so much? Can a time traveler change the direction of history so casually? Also, when do you plan to fix the big hole in the sky behind you? You have a way to fix it, right? "
The future Barry shrugged, "Trust me.
That's a small problem. The collapse of the world caused by the collapse of the timeline needs at least three hours to brew. We have enough time. Oh yeah, can you tell me, are you married now? "
"Huh?"
Saber was stunned, "What kind of question is that?"
Barry laughed out loud while holding his stomach. Then, he said in all seriousness, "In the rumors of the 27th century, Lord Overlord's love life has always been a big gossip that we're very concerned about. It's said that you've met too many beautiful women in the first half of your life but in the end, you chose to spend the rest of your life with one of them. However, until I came here, us fans didn't even know who your first wife was …"
"Alright, you guys are really free in the future …"
Saber was speechless as he picked up a cigar and threw one to Barry. The future Flash lit it up carelessly and moaned in satisfaction in the smoke:
"Phew, this is the pure taste of the ancient world's cigar. Oh my god, it's like being in heaven … Speaking of which, don't you have any questions for someone who knows the future?"
Faced with this question, Saber hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.
"If I knew the answer in advance, then this game would be meaningless. The unknown... the unknown is the most fascinating. But, if you must ask, what I want to say is, are you truly certain that I'll be able to live for seven centuries? You should know that I'm not a long-lived species … "
"It's just not now."
Barry looked at the calendar on the table and snapped his fingers. He looked at Saber with a mysterious gaze like a prophet, "You'll soon enter the most magnificent journey in the first half of your life. Before that, you're just a mortal hero, but after that, you'll become a truly great person. Although some people call you a butcher, but... everything you'll do in the future is really something that people yearn for."
"Are you sure you won't disturb the timeline by saying this?"
Saber pointed to the sky mysteriously, "I don't think a certain lady will think so."
"The Ancient One lady?"
A hint of sadness flashed in the eyes of the future Barry, but it was only a fleeting moment. He chuckled and pointed to his head,
"It doesn't matter because you'll forget everything I said today tomorrow... Time is a river. It's not as fragile as you think. The self-healing of time will remove all unstable factors. Otherwise, with the reckless actions of a bastard like Reverse Lightning, the parallel world's time network would have collapsed long ago."
"In fact, it was Barry Allen in 2024 who asked me for help when he was seriously injured, that's why I came here."
Saber nodded silently. After a while, he looked at Barry Allen in front of him and asked in a low voice,
"Then the last question I care about... Barry, how long can I trust you? Will we become enemies? "
Hearing this question, Barry Allen's expression also became serious. He stood up, pressed one hand on his chest, and solemnly said to Saber:
"You can trust me, but don't get too close to me. It's very dangerous to enter the life of a time traveler, Mr. Saber, especially now, when I'm not so mature yet."
"Okay."
Saber pulled out two bottles of wine from under the table and waved at Barry:
"Since I'll forget tomorrow, then why don't you tell me more about the big things I'll do in the future and make me happy. You know, it's very difficult for a person to have such an opportunity. I'm happy to share this joy with my future friends."
"Oh, of course!"
Barry rubbed his hands excitedly. He looked back at the collapsing time vortex in the sky that was getting bigger and bigger. He shrugged: "We still have 2 hours. This is great! It's great to be able to drink with the young Mr. Overlord! It's a supreme honor. "
"Speaking of which..."
Saber poured wine for Barry and asked: "Why do you keep calling me Overlord? It's a silly name. "
"Because you're Overlord..."
Barry took a sip of wine and said cheerfully, "Although this name sounds a little silly, it is a title given to you by your opponent. It is a kind of honor. Hmm … Let me think about it. You should not be too far away from getting it now, just …"
In short, all kinds of secrets and stories came out from Barry Allen's mouth. The whole conversation was filled with laughter. Unfortunately, this joy could only be shared by two people.
According to Barry, when a time traveler met his past or future self, he couldn't reveal too much information as it would cause a lot of trouble. However, it wouldn't be a problem if he told others. Among the people present, frankly speaking, only Saber Hawke could make a person from the 27th century look at him in a different light. The others weren't qualified to hear this kind of secret from the future.
However, no matter how beautiful the banquet was, it had to come to an end. When the last glass of wine was split into two, the drunk Saber Hawke picked up a cigar and took a light puff. His sleepy eyes suddenly brightened up. On the opposite side, Barry Allen shrugged and his eyes returned to normal.
"This is the last glass of wine. We won't have the chance to meet again."
Barry whispered: "I'll wait for you in the 27th century, the great Overlord. Before that, don't die..."
"So, is this the form of the blessing in your world?"
A smile appeared on Seber's face. "Or do you have something to tell me? Is it important? "
"Your life is legendary."
Barry stood up and tidied his clothes: "But no matter how legendary a person is, there will be low points that they don't want to remember. You will soon face the most difficult and the greatest choice in your life. I can't tell you the specifics of this choice because this matter is too important. I can't let any factors interfere with it. It's almost a turning point in the history of this planet..."
The Flash's face showed a hint of caution:
"Time is a river that will never stop. However, it will still change its course at some important moments. When you truly enter that event, you will be completely free. No one will know what choice you will make … This is the greatest gift that fate can give to a person."
He raised his glass and whispered:
"Overlord, I wish you can continue to be great! I wish you can continue to fight! And not... completely fall into the abyss. "
"I accept your blessings..."
Seiber raised his glass and drained it in one gulp. "Even though the name sounds terrible."
"Phew, it's time to get down to business."
Barry picked up his hood from the table and put it on his face:
"I'll take Reverse Lightning away. The Central Star of the 27th century has prepared a cage for him that he can never escape. By the way, among the things he left behind, there are some things that are very helpful to you. Don't forget to take them. Now, are you ready to forget all of this?"
Saber leaned back in his chair, raised his head, and blew out a smoke ring. He reached out and took out a box of high-end cigars from Coulson's cabinet and threw it to Barry. Then, he waved at him and slowly turned his chair to the back:
"Go, go back to your 27th century... The next time we meet, it's your treat!"
"Hahaha, the Overlord's Pact, I'm really honored!"
Barry's hearty laughter sounded over the entire villa. Coulson and the others saw a dark red lightning rush into the sky and run around the entire Central City. The speed was definitely faster than the speed of light, but they could still see it.
"Every Ultralisk has a different name for this move..."
The voice of the 27th century's Barry Allen sounded in the sky that was surrounded by purple-black lightning. The purple-black sky and red embellishments made this scene so beautiful and magical.
"I'm used to calling this move..."
"Yesterday... Reappear!"
"Hum!"
Saber, who had his eyes closed, felt a special light in front of him. He opened his eyes and saw the cigar that turned into light spots and disappeared in his fingers. He whispered:
"Oh... the future, the past... Time, you're really a wonderful thing..."
The next moment, he opened his eyes abruptly, and the first thing he saw was the living room of Coulson's house. Confused, Seber sat up from the sofa and looked at the orange sunset outside the window. He walked to the window and took out a cigar, but he didn't light it up. He fiddled with it in his hand.
He felt that he had a very strange dream... but the content was completely forgotten. Instinct told him that it was a very important thing, but he couldn't even leave a fragment of it behind.
The Central City outside the window was very quiet. It seemed that the city had fallen into dormancy, but in fact, that was not the case. Just this morning, the big boss of the Central City, Reverse Lightning, had a fight with the Devil Gang. If Saber hadn't found Quicksilver and The Flash hadn't rejoined them, they wouldn't have been able to defeat the Ultralisk.
You know, if the super-large particle accelerator had exploded at that time, the entire city may have been razed to the ground. That was not what Saber wanted to see.
"Ding Dong!"
Coulson, with a tired face, opened the door and came in. He sat on the table behind Saber, stretched his shoulders, and whispered:
"The Flash and Quicksilver are still fighting, but the matter of Reverse Lightning has been resolved. Speaking of which, the scene this morning was really terrifying. If The Flash and Quicksilver hadn't joined forces to kill Reverse Lightning, I'm afraid Central City would have been finished."
The former agent turned his head and glanced at the silent Saber. He whispered:
"Everyone has been assembled. When are we going to New York? Fury has just shared information about the Ten Rings Gang. He also said that he can provide the right of passage. I think we can launch a surprise attack. "
"Don't worry, the Ten Rings Gang is there. They won't run away, you know? Coulson, I suddenly thought of... "
Saber turned back and smiled at Coulson: "We haven't counted the spoils of war from Reverse Lightning yet. I have a faint hunch, a sudden hunch, that there are some things that are very useful to me. Yes, I'm sure of that!"
He rubbed his hands:
"To be honest, I can't wait... By the way, what do you think of the name Overlord?"
Coulson was stunned for a moment and shook his head:
"It sucks!"
Saber snorted. He turned his head and looked at the picturesque sunset outside the window. He looked at the red clouds covering the sky like blood and whispered: "Actually, I think this name is pretty good."
