Chapter 205 I Told You that Reverse Flash Would Betray You
Grodd was very cautious.
Although it seemed that he had used mental shocks on the Flash many times, he never dared to invade anyone's mind, fearing that he would be accidentally contaminated.
The essence of this behavior is like throwing stones at a car from outside. No matter what demons and monsters are inside the car, they can't hurt the person throwing stones outside.
But the increasing speed force in his body and the fact that the Flash seemed to actively absorb the speed force under his control made him gradually relax his vigilance.
The Flash originally had a close relationship with the speed force. Now he absorbed the speed force collected by the lightning rod I made, and I was also absorbing it. It was equivalent to us drinking water from the same speed force "water source". Through the speed force, my mental ability was transmitted, which would greatly enhance my control over him.
At this time, I used this link to invade his brain. Whether I succeeded or failed, I could get away with it after being accelerated by the speed force, right?
The logic is fine, the thinking is also reasonable, and even the Flash's eagerness to seize the speed force and the psychology that he may take the initiative to come to the "water source" and "eat" are grasped very accurately.
The only problem is... the choice to enter the car is right, but the target is wrong.
When Grodd tried to enter Batman's mind, he was like breaking into a huge silver pop-
In fact, for Grodd, although the Reverse Flash told him a lot, the gorilla who had never tasted the laughing gas actually had no clear understanding of what "Gotham local flavor" was.
In his view, this is nothing more than another mental barrier, just like the exclusive defense measures against telepathy he had seen in the Gorilla City, so this old experience also led to Grodd's momentary misjudgment at that moment.
People always judge new situations through inherent experience, even gorillas are the same:
Originally thought that we came in to fight with real guns and real knives, facing guards wearing bulletproof vests, so we prepared bulletproof vests and Thompsons in advance.
As a result, when he came in, he found that he was indeed a guard, but he was naked, and there was a stimulant in the air. He mainly used a gorilla charm. The previous preparation was not for dealing with such an eye-catching scene. Even if he retreated, his heart was dirty, his eyes were dirty, and the drugs were absorbed--
This is Grodd's current state.
Okay, it's also the state of the Flash.
Tick-tock.
A drop of saliva dripped from the corner of his raised mouth, and Barry wiped it.
"Hehe, hehe!"
Barry remembered that he had thought about being the most friendly superhero, huh? Now this laughing look... seems to be okay?
When he thought of this, the Flash felt very happy.
Great! I am a good neighbor in Midtown. I use supersonic speed to bring smiles to others every day. I am the most friendly superhero!
"Hahaha, hehe, hahahaha!"
The logical chain was established, the cause and effect were clear, he laughed in a reasonable and legal way, and then immediately stopped talking because of his own fear.
Too scary, brother.
This is the sequelae of Chen Tao sharing the Joker's crazy thoughts with them through nanorobots. Barry knew that Batman had to do that, otherwise Grodd, whose thoughts were accelerated by the Speed Force, would only need half a second to make everyone his puppets, just like the sluggish Captain Cold and Heat Wave before.
The two of them had just blocked him with the Turtle Man below, but at this time they were also frozen by the Speed Force that was drained from Midtown. Only the Turtle Man who mastered the sluggish force was not affected and could still participate in the battle on the rooftop, but Barry guessed that Grodd would not leave the powerful fighting power of the two Rogues unused. He would definitely...
Hey, thinking of the Turtle Man, where did the Turtle Man go?
Barry blinked his eyes. In fact, he had felt a little strange a long time ago. When he was fighting with the Turtle Man just now, he felt that the other party seemed a little absent-minded, and lacked interest in the Speed Force "water source" generated by the "lightning rod" of the Ape City technology over there.
This is very strange and abnormal. Logically, a villain like the turtle should have no less desire for the speed force than the gorilla Grodd, but from beginning to end, he looked like he was in a trance.
He didn't use his full strength when fighting him below. After the battlefield was transferred to the rooftop, he was intercepted by him just now, and now he simply ran away to who knows where.
Barry thought seriously, and he moved his brain that had been accelerated by his speed force for a long time.
What conspiracy does the turtle have?
Does Batman know about this?
He should-
Crack...
But the Flash's thinking process was interrupted by the cold breath of Captain Cold.
These two members of the rogue gang who have been deeply controlled by Grodd, I don't know when, also appeared on the rooftop battlefield like the turtle.
The Flash looked at the golden speed force wrapped around them and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Grodd would not give up these two fighting forces. He should have taken measures to prevent the ice and fire combination from being affected by the speed force storm.
"Hehe, Bat..." Barry couldn't help laughing twice when he turned his head and wanted to speak, and then quickly covered his mouth:
"Are you okay?"
He said very quickly: "I may be delayed by them for a while."
Barry's eyes swept across Chen Tao. At this time, Reverse Flash was grabbing the head of Gorilla Grodd with both hands, and the speed force was constantly wrapped around his hands.
He was using a high-end speed force application technique that Barry didn't understand, so as to help guide Gorilla Grodd, who had already been infused with enough speed force, to guide these speed forces into his brain, so as to speed up the removal of the "laughing pollution" in his mind.
However, facing this situation where "the enemy is taking medicine to treat himself", Batman did not attack immediately. He stood there quietly, like a silent statue, as if he was stunned in the battle.
But Barry knew that things were not as he saw. Although they had not been in contact for a long time, well, Barry knew that Batman was a...
treacherous good man.
He is always planning something that he is not aware of. Barry guessed that he is definitely not idle at this moment, and must be doing something that neither he nor the enemy has discovered.
But there is one thing that he must remind Batman of.
"Never destroy the lightning rod directly!" Barry said loudly while fighting with his old friend Captain Cold: "Batman, this may be complicated to explain, but the machine must be shut down in a normal way."
"The machine is essentially like a huge vacuum cleaner, constantly blowing wind to drain the speed force of the entire Midtown and create a speed force storm, but at the same time it is also a limiter of the speed force storm."
"Cisco told me that this machine is like controlled nuclear fusion, as if there is an intangible speedster running around the entire storm, using the speed force to limit it, and then stealing the speed force from the storm, so as to maintain the storm at a speed that continuously drains the entire Midtown, but at the same time it can 'supply water' like a water source."
With a bang, the heat wave created a huge explosion next to Barry. Barry jumped up, and then created a hurricane with both hands, blowing away Captain Cold who followed the attack.
"But if the limiter is suddenly broken, the speed force storm will lose its restraint and begin to expand recklessly. The speed will soon be enough to cover Midtown, and then Keystone City..."
"It's only a matter of time before the whole world is threatened."
Barry repeated: "Absolutely don't destroy this machine, otherwise-"
Otherwise, he will be like the Red Death in the dark multiverse, watching the out-of-control speed force storm destroy his world. Chen Tao thought.
Then he replied to the Flash:
"I know."
The next moment, he was a little distracted and was hit and flew backwards. It was the telekinesis of Gorilla Grodd.
As time went on, Gorilla Grodd continued to absorb the speed force infused into his body. Under the acceleration of the speed force, his mental ability and telekinesis also rose with it.
"Thank you, Swan, you've helped me a lot."
The gorilla, who had lost his smile, regained his serious look. Then, he dodged Chen Tao's heat vision with a reaction speed beyond his normal limit, and then once again bombarded Chen Tao, who was suspended in the air, with invisible telekinesis.
"Thank you."
He thanked Reverse Flash again.
"Nothing, you just need to delay time."
Chen Tao heard Reverse Flash tell him: "Although Batman can temporarily control the power of Kryptonians by unknown means, this power is not as good as that of real Kryptonians, and it is also limited in time."
He did not hide the fact that Chen Tao was floating next to them at the moment.
"Reverse Flash Swan will definitely betray you." Reverse Flash heard Batman say: "Any cooperation with Reverse Flash is to seek the skin of the tiger."
Reverse Flash chuckled in his heart. He did not care about this evaluation, or rather, this evaluation was a compliment to him.
"Don't try to alienate Grodd from his allies." Gorilla Grodd said in a muffled voice, his face seemed to be full of complete trust in Reverse Flash. Under his control, several energy guns that fired kryptonite rays rose from several corners of the rooftop, focusing fire on Chen Tao who was synchronized with the high-speed bullet, and knocked him flying:
"Do you think that Grodd's allies told Grodd that you can temporarily transform into a Kryptonian, and Grodd would not respond accordingly?"
He roared: "Grudd was prepared!"
"Kryptonite energy guns produced by the military?" Chen Tao was hit by the kryptonite ray and couldn't help but complain: "They can actually appear here, it's as easy as just buying them from a convenience store."
"Your judgment is correct, Reverse Flash, this does work on Batman."
While speaking, Grodd took a gun directly from a rising automatic aiming machine next to him and aimed it at Chen Tao.
"It's not that easy to dodge!"
He fired a shot directly, and then transformed into a black afterimage with the blessing of super speed, ran to the side of another kryptonite energy gun, and also manually assisted aiming.
He could obviously mobilize telekinesis to complete such assisted aiming, but he was too excited and would rather use this more "speed force user" method to achieve the same goal.
As more and more speed force accumulated in his body, gorilla Grodd's speed became faster and faster. Now this almost teleporting movement speed is almost the same as that of a real speedster.
Faster! Stronger! More agile! The speed that exceeds the limit of all biological reactions and breaks countless physical laws!
"The connection of the speed force belongs to me..."
Grudd roared in a low voice: "Grudd will be the master of all speed forces!"
More and more golden lightnings, more and more, wrapped around gorilla Grodd's body, combined with the crown on his head, and the expression of returning to the original place after launching the attack, opening his arms and roaring to the sky, made him look like a...
Uh, a very handsome gorilla?
Perhaps it is difficult for humans to appreciate how majestic Gorilla Grodd is at this moment.
At the same time, Reverse Flash did the same thing as Gorilla Grodd.
Beep, beep, beep--
In an instant, countless green rays almost formed a net in the air. No matter how fast Batman was, he couldn't avoid so many energy gun volleys.
But with a flash of silver-white particles, Bizarro Batman's gray, disfigured face appeared in front of Grodd and Reverse Flash.
Chen Tao opened his arms directly and let the green kryptonite energy gun hit his chest without even dodging.
"..."
Gorilla Grodd suddenly felt that he looked a little stupid just now.
"Bizarro likes (hates) kryptonite guns."
Chen Tao blew out flames, and against the telekinesis of Gorilla Grodd, he forcibly melted the kryptonite energy guns next to him into a pool of molten iron. The kryptonite energy that shot out strengthened Bizarro in a short time, making it easier for him to break through Gorilla Grodd's protective shield.
Chen Tao said: "Grudd, you should always get close to (be on guard against) this guy next to you."
To be honest, he didn't like to synchronize with Bizarro. Being forced to speak ironically and having his IQ reduced by 50% seriously interfered with his brain.
Boom boom boom!
As several kryptonite energy guns were destroyed, Chen Tao hurriedly switched back to the Broken Bat. He failed to destroy all of them. If he wanted to destroy all the energy guns against Grodd, the battle would become a tug-of-war.
Because the more energy guns he destroyed, the fewer were left - it seemed like a nonsense, but for Grodd, fewer energy guns meant fewer targets for his telekinesis to protect, and it also meant that the telekinetic shield on the protected energy guns was thicker and harder to break.
And Chen Tao's time to synchronize with Batman was limited. Once things turned into a tug-of-war, who would suffer more?
Obviously, it was him.
Therefore, the kryptonite gun was never the focus of the matter. As long as Chen Tao did not use the Kryptonian system, these weapons would not threaten him, so why did he have to forcefully synchronize the high-speed bullets?
He could completely destroy the kryptonite guns with other off-board means, and then synchronize the high-speed bullets. There was no need to try to forcibly destroy all the guns now and waste precious synchronization time on a tug-of-war.
And...
"Reverse Flash will definitely betray you." Chen Tao repeated to Grodd again: "Cooperating with him is like seeking the skin of a tiger."
"Ha, what a joke!" Reverse Flash next to Grodd immediately said: "Alberd Swan is not such a person."
"Ha! What a joke!" Gorilla Grodd also said: "Such alienation is too low-level, Bat. Reverse Flash has no reason to attack Grodd. Grodd and Reverse Flash cooperate happily, and our alliance is unbreakable-Ahhhhh!!!!"
Before he finished speaking, his whole body trembled, and countless speed force currents were drawn from his body and gathered on Reverse Flash who stabbed him in the back.
Grodd fell to the ground.
"I wanted to do that after I met you for 5 minutes." Reverse Flash said.
A small scepter appeared in his hand with a lightning symbol on it.
Even though Grodd fell to the ground, there was still more speed force flowing from him to Reverse Flash.
Reverse Flash smiled and said, "You are really good at judging people, Batman."
"..."
Chen Tao was speechless. He cursed in a low voice:
"I knew it."
I finally finished writing. The night sky at 3 am is so beautiful.
