Chapter 179: 179: Holy crap! This thing is so useful!

When it’s your turn to be the hammer, hit hard because no one had mercy on you when you were the nail.

Cisco certainly couldn’t do it.

Characters capable of breaking the Source Wall were few and far between even in DC Comics.

But as long as there was hope, Cisco, acting like a good beast of burden, would naturally work twice as hard to earn medical expenses for his bro.

“Anything you need me to do, except for sticking my ass out, anything else is fine!”

Cisco glanced at Hillel’s biceps and took a few steps back in some fear.

“Get lost!”

Hillel cursed outright.

After dealing with Cisco’s matter, Hillel turned around and pulled Caitlin into an empty lounge.

As soon as the door closed, Caitlin threw herself into his arms.

“It’s not like we can’t do it here, but I need to take a shower first.”

Hillel offered his greatest sincerity.

First, take off the clothes.

Caitlin poked him with her elbow.

“There are cameras in this room, are you out of your mind?!”

“Isn’t that even better?”

Hillel’s eyes lit up.

He had three major hobbies in his life.

Dragging good women into the muddy water, persuading prostitutes to turn over a new leaf, and watching highly educated intellectuals fall into depravity…

Caitlin belonged to the last one.

“I haven’t seen you for three months, and you’re already exposing your true nature, huh!” Caitlin felt that the tender atmosphere had been completely ruined by Hillel.

However, she didn’t hate this feeling either.

“Fine, fine, how have you been these past three months?”

Unable to attack her physically, Hillel could only offer psychological comfort. Anyway, a nighttime battle was definitely inevitable, so he would humor her for now.

Caitlin leaned against Hillel’s chest, a hint of numbness in her tone.

“What else could it be? Doing experiments every day, comparing cells, pretending to be able to bury my feelings deep in my heart… I’ve gotten through it like this before, but… it’s good that you’re back!”

“Mn.”

Caitlin added, “Do you want to… have dinner together again tonight?”

Oh my!

If we’re going to screw, just screw, why talk about dinner!

“Then we must eat deliciously!”

Hillel agreed without hesitation.

Caitlin suddenly remembered something, bit her lower lip, and her eyes flickered slightly. “Hillel, that night… after you sent me home, did you encounter anything strange?”

“For example… the temperature in the room suddenly plummeted, or something like that?”

Hillel frowned and said, “Yes. That night, there was a white-haired snow princess, just like Elsa, who wanted to kill me the moment she came out. It was practically a modern version of Frozen!”

Caitlin’s heart clenched, and her whole body visibly tightened up.

“Auv! If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have remembered. That Snow Queen looked exactly like you, what a coincidence, right?”

Caitlin let out a dry laugh, her expression extremely awkward. “Is… is that so? It’s just a coincidence…”

“Caitlin, there’s no need to pretend in front of me. I didn’t expect you to have such a crazy side, it makes me so happy!” Hillel affectionately rubbed Caitlin’s earlobe.

Caitlin’s ears turned slightly red.

She had thought that Hillel would be afraid of Killer Frost or even dislike it, but she hadn’t expected the other party’s response to be so straightforward.

It made the heavy stone in her heart drop straight down.

“So you are a meta-human? But I don’t sense too strong life energy. You should be a power-user similar to Hulk, let me take a look!”

Hillel’s eyes lit up with red light.

His pair of eyes could inherently see other people’s growth timelines, and even directly erase people from the timeline, or even resurrect them.

Since the Speed Force gave the green light, he didn’t need to hide the Omega Effect either.

“Oh?”

Hillel’s eyes showed a strange look. “Your superpower wasn’t activated because of the particle accelerator explosion, but rather, right there in your gene fragments, there was naturally a secondary personality gene belonging to Killer Frost!”

“And this gene didn’t mutate through growth. It was artificially added later on!”

“The answer is in your father’s hands!”

Caitlin’s eyes revealed shock.

“Impossible! My father died long ago!”

“And you mean… I gained my abilities long before the particle accelerator explosion?”

“That’s absolutely impossible!”

Hillel had sorted out Caitlin’s experience of acquiring her abilities.

Caitlin had a gene for ALS since childhood, which would onset after adulthood.

To cure his daughter, her father tried every possible way to modify this gene of Caitlin’s. The final result was naturally successful, but it also created the cryogenic father-daughter duo.

“My Omega vision can see your entire growth experience. There’s no mistake!”

Hillel said, “Caitlin, perhaps you still have a chance for a father-daughter reunion. Your dad is not dead!”

Caitlin was struck by lightning.

Hillel briefly told Caitlin about the Flashpoint event. Caitlin supported herself against the wall and sat down, still digesting this massive amount of information.

Woo-woo-woo!!!

Before he could finish speaking, a harsh alarm sounded.

Joe’s emergency call cut into the main screen. “Barry! A strange speedster has broken into the Central City Police Department! They’re wreaking havoc!”

Swish!

Barry instantly rushed out.

In less than two minutes, a flash of lightning flickered in the lobby, and Barry dragged a speedster along, locking him into the prison cell.

In Flashpoint.

Barry had already dealt with the Rival, and this time he would be even less soft-hearted.

“Who is it?” Cisco leaned over and asked.

Barry pulled off his mask, his face extremely ugly. “It’s a speedster named the Rival, but he shouldn’t exist on this timeline!”

Harrison frowned. “What do you mean he shouldn’t exist?”

Barry guiltily glanced at Hillel. “The Rival is a villain I met in the Flashpoint spacetime. On this original orthodox timeline, he should just be an ordinary person without superpowers!”

The Rival had also come to the orthodox timeline, which meant that the Season 3 villain boss Savitar should also make his move!

Hillel said, “Obviously, the Flashpoint paradox you created is rippling outward like water, destroying the orthodox timeline. Someone has started using some method to forcibly activate the meta-humans of the Flashpoint world!”

Looking at the Rival on the ground, Hillel suddenly turned his head to look at Caitlin.

“That treadmill that Zoom used to take Barry’s speed before, do you guys still have it preserved?”

Caitlin suddenly raised her head. “It’s here… but Hillel, you aren’t thinking of forcibly taking away his speed, are you?”

“Yeah, as everyone knows, speedsters are the hardest meta-humans to deal with. Keeping his Speed Force is also a hazard, wouldn’t stripping it directly be a once-and-for-all solution? Besides, it won’t hurt his life!”

Hillel said it as a matter of course.

His approach was already very merciful!

If placed in The Boys universe, if you could run away for a second, consider Hillel senile!

Harrison rubbed his chin and abruptly chimed in. “Although the means are a bit crude, I agree with this new teammate’s idea. For potential threats, stripping away abilities is the most reasonable scientific method.”

“No!” Barry immediately stood up to refute, his mother-complex faintly shining.

“We cannot use such methods to forcibly strip anyone’s speed! This violates our principles!”

“I think you got one thing wrong, Barry!” Hillel pulled out the Calcified Speed Force stone. “You created the Flashpoint paradox, and the Speed Force is not so easy to talk to. Sooner or later, they will mete out punishment!”

“And I am going to clear out these bad factors first! The principles are with me!”

Hillel aimed the crystal at the Rival and slightly squeezed the stone.

Hum!!!

That crystal instantly erupted with strange lightning patterns, its effect generating a terrifying suction force that directly struck the Rival. Amidst his painful screams, it condensed all of the opponent’s Speed Force into wisps of electric light.

“Holy crap! This thing is so useful!”
