The Death Knell

Jesse began to run wildly with his teammates on his back, and Deathstroke took the opportunity to teach them a lesson about some of the Speed ​​Force settings like the old calendar of the DC universe, and the changes in these settings after the N52 era.

To put it bluntly, the Speed ​​Force plane is a dimension full of energy, and it is also the source of all superpowers for speedsters.

Its essence has many different and wider implications and conceptual properties, it is reality in motion, the cosmic energy that drives space and time forward.

Speaking of which, this is a very abstract concept. It is difficult for most speedsters to explain clearly what the Speed ​​Force Plane is. They may think that it is a runway, a time and space tunnel, or the body of a living creature, and may even see it as Doing is the embodiment of the stream of consciousness after reaching a state of extreme speed.

These views may all be correct, but they are certainly not comprehensive. Everyone has only seen the tip of the iceberg of the Speed ​​Force plane.

But these have nothing to do with Su Ming. He has a more understandable understanding of the Speed ​​Force plane. He regards it as a huge dial.

If all universes in which the Speed ​​Force exists are considered as a whole, then it should be spherical. After all, whether it is a multiverse or a super universe, the simplified representation for human understanding is a matryoshka-like structure of big balls within small balls.

Then the speed force plane is a circle of dials set on the shell of this big ball. If you run clockwise, as long as you can reach a certain speed, you can go to a certain future; similarly, if you run counterclockwise, if you reach a certain speed, You can go back to a certain past.

By imagining some scales on this dial, you can better understand the information Jay provided this time.

There are four entrances to the Speed ​​Force plane that lead to the Heavenly Blood Layer. Of course, no one usually goes there. After all, without Superman's level of physical fitness, entering the Heavenly Blood Layer will result in being turned into fly ash, which is not a fun place.

Think of these four channels as the 1:30, 4:30, 7:30, and 10:30 positions that the hour hand points to on the clock. For positioning purposes, you will find four special speed force nodes at other positions. .

The first is the ‘Starting Line’ located at 12 o’clock. This is also a place that all speedsters know and are familiar with. Every speedster will appear here when they enter the Speed ​​Force plane.

Whether you start from a certain corner of space or from the bathtub of your own home, when you enter the Speed ​​Force plane, you will be dropped to the starting line. Everyone will start running from here, which represents the fairness of the Speed ​​Force.

Of course, except for Black Lightning, he can start running anywhere he wants, because he is a worker of the Speed ​​Force and the dark side. The janitor in the building always has an access card that can go to many places.

In addition, the starting line is both the starting point and the end point. Some speedsters will be trapped in the plane indefinitely because they can't tell where to run. Barry was lost here in the years when he disappeared.

Next, there is the 'wild world' located at 3 o'clock on the dial, at the first corner, where the speed of the speed force is not flowing very fast, causing a lot of garbage to be deposited here.

Everyone has seen what is going on here before, so there is nothing to say.

Then there is the ‘Big Ben’ located at 6 o’clock. This is a super-space fortress that is the embodiment of the barrier that the Speed ​​Force built for itself during the ‘War of Power’ hundreds of years ago.

At that time, its enemies were the 'Sage Power', 'Strength Power', and 'Stagnation Power'. To put it bluntly, it was a DC version of the dimensional war, except that there was no dimensional demon here, but the competition of the dimensional power itself.

This war has nothing to do with hatred or feelings, it is purely about the differences in strength and attributes, causing them to inevitably collide during expansion.

For humans, just think of it as a natural phenomenon.

The existence of Big Ben is very mysterious. Su Ming only knows that there is such a place. What exactly it is like and whether it is filled with all kinds of black lightning as soldiers are all unknown.

The last special place is the ‘theater’ located above the last corner at 9 o’clock on the dial.

It is a floating island floating above the runway of the Speed ​​Force plane. This space exists in the plane and is relatively independent.

Because of its special location, it overlooks all time and space connected by the Speed ​​Force, making it a very interesting place.

But according to Su Ming’s memories of his previous life, the last time someone mentioned the theater in a comic, it seemed that it was an old publication more than 90 years ago. After entering the rebirth era, the speedsters seemed to have forgotten that such a place existed. exist.

It's a bit difficult to get in there. First of all, you have to be a speedster, and secondly, you have to be able to fly, so it seems that only Wally Bai went in, and even Barry couldn't reach the land.

But now there is Jesse in Su Ming's team. Although she can't fly fast enough, she should be able to climb up if the cloak pushes her.

As long as he lands on the island, lets Bobo flip the contents around, and uses the power of the orc's thinking, he can probably see what Barry is doing.

This was the plan. After Su Ming finished telling the three people what needed to be said, he waited patiently for Jesse to take everyone there. Of course, he still couldn't overdo it and needed to concentrate. The opportunity was still fleeting.

If you don't want to go around in a big circle in the Speed ​​Force plane, it's best to succeed the first time.

............................

Passing by the entrance to the second Sky Blood Layer, even in the speed force plane, which is surrounded by a bright environment, the huge dark red vortex is still very conspicuous.

A flat, constantly rotating red wormhole. On the other side of the hole, you can see the frightening sky-blood substance, and hear the terrifying harsh noise coming from it.

"It's really terrible. Move closer to the side. Don't run on the inside track. You always feel like you will be sucked in by the vortex." Jesse was carrying the rabbit and the death knell, and Bobo was holding on her back, like a talking person. He shouted like a small schoolbag: "Girl, you can't run as fast as Barry, and your safety awareness is not as strong as his."

The girl surrounded by white electric light tilted her mouth, and her eyes turned into dead fish shapes:

"I have been running with all my strength. This is the first time I have run in the Speed ​​Force plane for so long and so far. You have to let me watch the road."

Although she said this, when passing through the Heavenly Blood Channel, she stayed away from the inside of the curve very honestly, obviously she was also afraid of falling into the Heavenly Blood Layer.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. You can use the sonic blast channel in the Sky Blood Layer. Even if we accidentally fall in, the adjutant can teleport us to a safe place as soon as possible." Deathstroke reassured everyone in a relaxed manner.

I have said everything that needs to be said before, now the process of rushing is leisure time.

The experience of being carried by a girl while running was quite new. Jesse smelled a little like milk, which was probably another proof that he was still childish.

"This environment is a bit hurtful to my eyes. There are so many flowers and colors around me. I'm a little... dizzy."

Captain Rabbit complained about this.

He looked around all the way out of curiosity, but it was like sitting in a fast car, staring at something passing by to see clearly. After tens of thousands of times, he got a little carsick.

But it doesn't matter, Deathstroke was already prepared. He took out an eye patch from his pocket and handed it to the captain with a puffy face:

"Come on, put on these Wilson VR glasses and enjoy the scenery video inside first. We'll be there soon."

Rabbit was not polite either. He was honest with everyone and naturally he would not play tricks. He reached out and put on his glasses, but after a few seconds he shook his head and asked:

"Is there a view of the carrot fields? I want to see that."

It turns out that he had been looking around while moving at high speed, looking for a time and space full of carrots...

The death knell who was asked took a breath from between his teeth and replied speechlessly:

"It's really not true. Humans generally don't film the process of growing rhizome foods. You have to watch the agriculture channel. In this case, you can press the film change button a few times and find a clip of a sea of ​​lavender flowers and make do with it."
