Chapter 333 Never assume Batman is powerless to change the situation.
The Flash has arrived!
He was trembling violently, letting out painful cries, while Johnny Quick stood by, like a husband waiting for his wife to come out of the delivery room, anxiously awaiting the outcome.
His girlfriend, Atom, had previously invaded the Flash's body, which is why he had the upper hand in their fights. Whenever the Flash tries to expel Atom, Johnny Quick intervenes, and Atom wreaks havoc inside the Flash in return.
So strictly speaking, the Flash didn't lose to Johnny Quick, but rather to the combined power of this evil couple, which is entirely understandable.
Weird.
The Flash's strength shouldn't be this low. As one of the Seven Greats of the Justice League, his strength and decision-making abilities should far surpass those of other superheroes like Firestorm.
From the Rogues to Reverse-Flash, Steelbeam, Peak Man, and Tar Pit, the enemies the Flash faces are always numerous. Unlike the villains of other superheroes who usually work alone, the Flash's villains often team up, because for them, if they don't advance and retreat together and join forces, they can't even get close to the Flash.
And this speedster, who is terrifyingly powerful to the villains, is now performing so poorly. The only explanation is:
Instead of immediately rescuing Firestorm, who was also retied, the Flash Barry who had vomited up Atom Girl, flashed behind Batman.
He reached out and pressed on Batman's back, confirming that the old Batman in front of him was just a clone of nanobots and Clayface's body tissue, and his expression immediately changed.
He asked Chen Tao in a low voice, "What other backup plans do you have? I bet you do. Stop hiding it. How many seconds until your main body reaches the battlefield? How long can I hold out? What plans do you have that you need my cooperation to execute?"
Not far away, the Flash's action of blasting Atom into the air was far from gentle. At this moment, Atom Rhonda Panida was covered in blood, injuries caused by the Flash's rapidly vibrating atoms blasting her out.
She had returned to her normal size and was held in Johnny Quick's arms: "No, no, darling, how are you hurt? No!"
Judging from their demeanor, someone who didn't know better would think they were the righteous ones.
"I'm so sorry, darling, I'm so sorry. I never imagined you would be hurt like this. I thought..."
Atomic Girl was unharmed, but when Johnny Quick looked up, his eyes still blazed with deep-seated hatred.
"I shouldn't have listened to Superman and let you fight the Flash alone. We are one, fighting side by side."
Johnny Quick reached out and used his rapidly vibrating hand to penetrate Atom's body, reconnecting her blood vessels and treating her injuries. The Flash, who overheard him, had already figured out what he was going to do after treating Atom.
"Hey, Batman, what's your plan?"
Barry turned and said, "Get ready to make your move!"
"No, it's your move." However, the Flash was ruthlessly rejected by Chen Tao: "Barry, I can't help you. I'm saving Lex Luthor, who has no superpowers, and the situation is extremely critical. I'm currently overwhelmed. You'll have to figure out how to deal with Johnny Quick yourself."
"How much time do you have left to get here?"
"I can't get there in time. I'm currently in a standoff with Superpower. You'll have to figure it out yourself."
"Didn't you prepare a contingency plan for this situation?"
"Absolutely not, I mean it. I thought you could at least be on par with Johnny Express."
The Flash, Barry, gritted his teeth. He stopped talking to Chen Tao, who was still a clone, and turned to face Johnny Quick.
Strands of lightning began to gather in his eyes, and the leaping plasma looked to him like flames burning between his feet.
"That's right, that's exactly it. This is your opponent, Barry. I can only help you, but I can't take your place..."
"Johnny Quick, don't attack the Flash. I've already made a deal with Batman."
Johnny Quick raised a hand to his headset, and then Superpower's voice came through: "Abandon Firestorm, that's my order. Take the Professor back as fast as you can."
Chen Tao's heart skipped a beat. He turned to look at the Flash and saw the electric surge in the other man's eyes extinguishing.
"No need to fight anymore?" he said in a low voice, then turned to Batman: "Your plan succeeded, amazing! I knew you had a backup plan; you foresaw everything!"
The next second, the Flash was sent flying by Johnny Quick's punch. The fast-moving Quick caught up with him again, grabbed the Flash's ankle, and slammed him to the ground.
"Don't even think about it, Superb!" Johnny Quick said. "That bastard hurt Lonnie, I'll make him pay for Lonnie's death!"
The Flash tried to fight back, he always tries to fight back, but the effort he had expended to expel Atom from his body and the injuries he had sustained left him weak.
Fortunately, he didn't intend to ask Chen Tao for help again. He swung his fists and fought with Johnny Quick, but the other grabbed him by the back of the neck, pressed him to the ground and dragged him violently. If it weren't for the protection of the Speed Force, his face would probably be a bloody mess by now.
"Enough!" The Flash jumped up.
"Ahhhhh!"
He roared and swung high-frequency hand chop at Johnny Quick, who responded with the same move, but with even faster tremors.
The black and red Reverse Speed Force coiled around Johnny Quick's body, growing stronger with his rage, turning his skin pale and making his face look somewhat ferocious.
"Fake."
The two blurry figures stopped their continuous fighting. The Flash lay on the ground, while Johnny Quick slowly walked towards his already battered opponent.
"You, and your world..."
"Hey, I heard Superpower told you to stop." Johnny Quick turned around, a fierce expression on his face, and saw Batman looking...
Ok?
A deck chair and a parasol had appeared on the scene at some point. Batman, wearing sunglasses, lay naked on the deck chair, drinking a beverage.
For the clones composed of clayface and nanobots, creating anything is not difficult as long as the total number is sufficient.
Johnny Quick has no intention of fighting Batman.
Firstly, he had just overheard Batman and the Flash's conversation, and this was just a clone of Batman, so killing it would be pointless. Secondly, Batman had clearly reached some kind of agreement with Superman, and whatever it was, dealing with Batman would be a thankless and arduous task for him.
Even with the Speed Reversal Force interfering with his thinking, the fear of Superman was still etched in his mind. Ignoring Superman's orders and beating up the Flash was the most extreme move Johnny Quick could make, while attacking someone who had already made a deal with Superman?
Johnny Express wouldn't dare.
"Huffing and puffing, huffing and puffing..."
The Flash, panting heavily, struggled to his feet and saw Johnny Quick confronting Batman.
In any case, Batman's plan seems to have run into some problems, and now he has to rely on himself.
He sensed that Johnny Quick hadn't tried to kill him, and that the other party probably wouldn't dare to. This was Flash's chance.
As for Batman's clone... no matter how powerful Batman's original abilities are, the one before him is still just a clone without any power. Having spent so much time with Batman, he had seen Batman use that move more than once. The creation formed by the organic combination of the mud-faced body tissue and nanobots attached to him only retained the most basic communication ability; he couldn't count on it to save him.
"Come on, Barry, this is your fight. Batman must be on his way by now. You have to hold out until he arrives."
"Hey, you haven't killed the Flash yet."
The Flash froze, seeing Batman's clone slightly rise from the recliner and then pull down his sunglasses:
"So what if I hit your little girlfriend? You're angry?"
Batman is using his clones to provoke Johnny Quick, buying himself time. This was the right choice, and it relieved a lot of my stress.
As Barry thought this, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
His injuries were getting worse, but he believed that as long as Batman wasn't held up by anything else, he would come to his rescue immediately. However, for a speedster, this short time would be infinitely stretched by the Speed Force, which would probably be quite unpleasant.
"Ha! He's too scared to fight fairly, so he only manages to beat his opponent by getting his girlfriend's help. Then she gets defeated and starts crying and getting angry—it's so embarrassing, so ugly!"
"Trash~ Trash~"
Johnny Quick tried to ignore what Batman was saying and continued beating the Flash, but the Flash's words kept drilling into his ears:
"You really have no sense of being a lackey. Do you really think Superb will let you off the hook? In his eyes, you're nothing but his dog. You should be able to understand the consequences of a disobedient dog. Let me tell you a secret, I've already made a deal with him. He'll absorb enough kryptonite, and Superb will become even stronger in the future..."
Johnny Quick ignored the attack and focused solely on assaulting The Flash, while Barry calmly and collectedly countered. For a moment, the two were evenly matched, and although Barry was still taking punches, he was clearly able to retaliate in a small area.
However, his previous injuries still hampered him, and after the two of them turned into a blur, Barry was sent flying again.
This time, his injuries seemed to be quite severe. He tried to get up from the ground, but collapsed weakly to the ground.
Chen Tao sighed almost imperceptibly, then adjusted his sunglasses.
"Wow! Awesome! Beating up the wounded, that's amazing! Johnny Quick has defeated the injured!"
Johnny Quick could no longer tolerate Batman's constant chatter.
"Shut up!"
He knew Batman was deliberately provoking him, but he didn't understand why. So even though his brain was a little too aggressive under the stimulation of the Speed Force, he still didn't have any interaction with Batman. He tried his best not to step into any traps that Batman might be setting.
But at this moment, he could no longer ignore Batman's presence.
Batman flipped his hands, and a gun appeared in his palms. He then pointed the gun at Atom, who was resting not far away, and fired without saying a word.
boom!
"You dare!"
Johnny Express was furious. His girlfriend was the person he loved most, and he could not allow her to be hurt.
Whatever Batman's motives were in doing this, it was excessive and despicable.
What difference would it make if we destroyed Batman's clone?
Johnny Quick thought to himself. The interference of the Speed Force on his thinking, combined with his anger at his girlfriend's attack, led Johnny Quick to make a decision.
He first caught the bullet aimed at his girlfriend with ease. Then, he swung his hand knife and sliced directly at Batman's clone.
He wanted to destroy Batman's clone, then continue beating up the Flash, and then—
puff!
The high-frequency hand chops pierced the neck of Batman's clone, like slicing into a large dollop of cream puff. Johnny Quick felt his foot slip, and then he slid backward.
In 1% of a millisecond, Johnny Quick tried to get up and leave the area where Batman was attacking, but the sudden burst of cold air from Batman reduced his speed by 99%.
The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his arm, and a ring was placed on it.
"This is……"
"A frictionless coating makes nearby surfaces too smooth to generate friction. Although Speed Force can defy most laws of physics, it adjusts the amount of friction according to the user's habits. This coating will disrupt your habitual perception of friction, causing you to temporarily lose your balance."
Johnny Quick saw Batman stand up and then, in a bizarre way, press together the wound from the supersonic karate chop that had cut him from his shoulder down to his abdomen to heal it.
"The combined technology of Mr. Freeze and Captain Cold's freeze gun can instantly cover the area around me and slow you down."
"As for this in your hand? Be careful, it's already strapped to your hand. This is a bomb with an blast radius of three miles. If you try to defuse it, it will explode. If you do nothing for a minute, it will explode. Before you start running to avoid being blown up, I have one more thing to tell you."
"Once you start running, if you slow down..."
"It's going to explode," Johnny Quick said.
"Absolutely right," Chen Tao said. "Never think I'm powerless to change the situation, never, ever."
"Because I am Batman!"
