Chapter 208: The Red Death!

Upon hearing those words, Barry finally panicked!

He repeatedly begged Bruce to stop, but the Batmobile only accelerated faster and faster!

At that moment, Bruce’s eyes were filled with unwavering resolve!

He had once sworn to his parents that he would protect Gotham, but only now did he realize how narrow his vision had been!

Gotham was not the only place he should protect!

A world facing the apocalypse needed him even more!

And all he needed to accomplish that was the Speed Force!

In the next second, he slammed the accelerator to the floor and activated the nitrous system. The Batmobile immediately surged forward at terrifying speed!

As it accelerated, streaks of crimson lightning began erupting from Barry’s body, growing increasingly intense until they resembled a blazing storm of sparks!

Seeing this, fear appeared in Barry’s eyes as he shouted anxiously:

“No, Bruce!”

“You can’t force the Speed Force like this! It will tear both of us apart!”

Batman answered in a calm voice:

“I know.”

“That is precisely what I want.”

“Barry, I’m sorry.”

“But to save the world, I have no choice but to sacrifice you.”

In the next moment, amid the Batmobile’s roar and Barry’s desperate screams, the Speed Force fully erupted!

Countless golden rays tore both of them apart!

DCEU World!

Barry, who had still been considering Bruce’s warning, now revealed an expression of pure terror!

Watching another version of himself—identical in every way—have his skin gradually ripped apart, exposing flesh before being reduced to a skeleton and finally disintegrating into nothing was far too disturbing!

And the Bruce sitting beside him had only just finished calmly explaining weaknesses that Barry himself had never realized he possessed.

By Zeus!

He suddenly felt that he had given up far too quickly!

Thinking back on it now, the way that older woman had told him to “get lost” had sounded so gentle and pleasant!

His dignity was completely worthless!

Beneath a crimson sky lay a collapsing city.

Although the world had not yet been destroyed, with both Batman and the Flash gone, the police had no ability to stop the growing numbers of criminals and desperate madmen!

The entire world descended into chaos, and good people became prey!

The dejected Barry instantly recovered all his energy!

Hahaha!

He knew such an absurd method could not possibly steal the Speed Force!

Batman had been wrong!

There was no way Barry would die such a miserable death!

He immediately relaxed considerably.

Gotham, inside a remote alley.

A man and woman fled in desperation. They hoped that choosing a different route from everyone else would prevent the criminals from noticing them and allow them to survive.

But they were terribly mistaken!

An even more horrifying figure appeared before them!

Holding a bloodstained scythe, the Scarecrow leaped from the shadows, freely releasing his fear toxin and savoring their beautiful screams!

A dozen seconds later…

Just as the Scarecrow raised his scythe to harvest their lives, a streak of scarlet lightning passed directly through his body!

Splat!

Like an overripe fruit striking the ground, the Scarecrow’s body instantly exploded into a pool of bloody pulp that splattered throughout the alley!

The Boys World.

At that moment, Hughie seemed to see his girlfriend being torn into pieces before him once again, and his entire body began trembling uncontrollably!

DC Prime Universe!

Even the Reverse-Flash frowned upon witnessing the scene!

This could be considered one of the most cruel and gruesome methods by which a speedster could kill someone!

The attacker would clearly feel the instant their body smashed through the victim’s flesh, while being covered from head to toe in blood and gore!

Even Eobard would never do something like that!

On the beach!

Barry, whose complexion had already been poor, immediately vomited!

He had never imagined that speed could be used to kill someone like this!

It was utterly demonic!

What kind of twisted person could possibly commit such an act!?

And this was only the beginning!!

Almost within the same second, every criminal attempting to commit a crime in Gotham was reduced to a pool of blood and flesh!

Only then did the scarlet lightning finally stop!

Standing there was a man clad in vicious crimson armor, with a bat emblem on his chest that appeared to have been torn in half!

In the next second, he removed his helmet, revealing a familiar face!

Bruce Wayne!

He had truly succeeded and obtained the power he desired!

But at that moment, he was no longer Batman!

The man was drenched in blood, resembling a demon that had returned from hell!

He was…

The Red Death!

Marvel Universe!

At that moment, even Tony Stark—a fellow billionaire and superhero—revealed an expression of amazement!

He discovered that Bruce Wayne was truly a terrifying man!

As long as Bruce desired something, there seemed to be nothing he could not accomplish!

Even more frighteningly, every version of Bruce Wayne appeared to possess that same quality!

Defeating Superman with a mortal body.

Twisting the power of a Green Lantern ring.

Stealing the Speed Force!

However…

Resolve appeared in Tony’s eyes!

He would not admit defeat!

Nor would he ever become twisted and fall into darkness like Bruce!

Gotham experienced a brief period of peace, but this was only the beginning!

The power of speed made Bruce believe he could accomplish far more!

He intended to save the entire world!

And in his eyes, the only way to achieve that was through killing!

Before speed capable of nearly freezing time itself, no criminal could survive!

Even powerful metahumans were no exception!

At that moment, they were no different from ordinary humans. They could not even see the Red Death’s shadow, much less experience fear, before being smashed into bloody pulp!

DC Prime Universe!

Central City!

Whether they belonged to the Rogues or were metahuman criminals imprisoned inside Iron Heights, all of them revealed uncontrollable terror as their bodies began trembling!

They finally understood just how fortunate they had been all these years!

The Red Death was completely different from the Flash!

Batman’s method of using the Speed Force was simply too horrifying!

Forget attempting some ridiculous resistance!

Anyone slower than him would die.

There would not be even the slightest possibility of survival!

At that moment, every villain began praying frantically!

God protect them!

Barry Allen…

Please remain kind forever!
