The Death Knell

Hermes is a clever man. After all, as the messenger of the gods, he cannot do his job well without any brains.

Because the so-called letters in Olympus are not written documents, but messages from the gods. On the Asgard side, Odin used ravens and rainbow bridges to convey messages; and here, Just by the legs and mouth of Hermes.

Oral messages mean that they need to be conveyed face to face. It may be said that it is for confidentiality or that it cannot keep up with the times, but it is enough to regard him as a confidential correspondent.

If you are not smart enough and don't know how to speak, you can easily offend people.

Ah, talking about the messenger of the gods, Su Ming remembered a certain squirrel. He didn't know whether she was doing well recently or how the business in Alfheim was.

Closer to home, this errand boy was originally heading towards the teleportation point, but he saw a bolt of lightning coming towards him. He didn't understand what it was, but his instinct told him to turn around and run away.

While running, he looked back. Because the relative speed difference narrowed, he could see clearly that it was Wally. When he saw the Flash appearing here, the alarm bells went off in his head, and he ran even harder.

As a close confidant of Zeus, he naturally knew what his god-king had done, and he was standing opposite the Justice League. So if he was caught, how could he be left alone?

Yes, he is not afraid of Wally. After all, the Earth God knows that the Flash does not kill.

But look who The Flash is carrying on his shoulders now? Donna Troyin, she was staring at him murderously, the noose in her hand swinging like a propeller above her head.

As a well-informed messenger, Hermes knew the details of Donna.

Although she holds the title of Olympus Goddess of Destiny, she does not have the relevant divine rights, let alone the relevant abilities, so just like Diana's God of War, it is purely a false name, a title given to appease people's hearts.

This woman is essentially a weapon made by the Titans, a tool specifically designed to kill the God of Olympus. Although she did not act as the Titans thought due to various reasons, her position is not in Olympus either. aside.

She is on the side of humanity.

Donna was not a god in the first place, but was a tool made out of mud by Gaia, the Earth Mother. Since she learned about her origin, she has developed a dislike for almost all gods.

Therefore, she would rather side with humans and become a human being.

On the endless grassland, the two sides were running like horse racing. With the rising grass clippings and the smell of earth, both sides entered super-light speed.

This is no longer an ordinary race, but a contest of time.

Hermes is more experienced, has more frequency of direction changes and more combat experience, while Wally wins because he is faster and preserves his physical strength better along the way.

What Donna needs to do is actually very simple, just like riding a horse and roping a bull. She just needs to wait until the mount is close enough to the target, and then throw out the lasso in her hand.

"Flash, faster!"

With long hair flying, she sat on Wally's shoulders, spinning the lasso with one hand, and playing with the Flash's head like a steering wheel with the other hand, and the golden electricity spread across the two of them.

"It can't go any faster. Now I'm at the critical point of entering the Speed ​​Force. If I speed up any more, we will enter another level!"

Wally answered her while running wildly. The Speed ​​Force is actually quite idealistic. The critical point does not even have a specific value, but depends on feeling. When you feel it, it is reached.

Looking at Hermes running like a gazelle in front of her, Donna frowned. Now the distance between the two sides has almost stabilized. The messenger is about fifty meters in front. Even if he changes direction frequently, Unable to escape the pursuit of The Flash.

However, because of the first-mover advantage, latecomers want to catch up with him, but there is no hope in a short time.

The most critical issue is that Hermes relies on divine power to run, which is almost costless. He is like a kite blown by the wind.

And Wally is not Barry.

Barry is a generator, while Wally is just a battery. The Speed ​​Force reserves in his body are limited, and his connection with the Speed ​​Force plane is not as stable as the former.

At the same time, he will also be limited by physical strength.

Even if Barry has stronger willpower and the longest record of continuous running is 17 hours, Wally may sprint faster, but his endurance is only about three-quarters of his brother.

When people think of speedsters, they always think of Barry Allen first. Even Reverse-Flash loves to play with Barry, not Wally West. This is why, who is the strongest on earth? Speedster?

So, Donna knew she had to do something.

In many fairy tales, there are always descriptions of great heroes chasing their prey for days and nights without sleep, but the magical girl knew that she did not have so much time to waste, and the death knell was still waiting for her.

"Throw me over." She leaned down and whispered in Wally's ear, and she thought of a way.

It is currently known that the relative speed between Wally and the opponent is almost zero, and the two can be regarded as relatively stationary.

So as long as Wally throws himself forward with force, and then uses this force to jump forward, he who originally had the same speed will gain another forward acceleration, thus achieving the same operation as jumping on a train.

To put it simply, it's like in an old Western movie, where cowboys jump from one car, over the link, and into the other car in front.

"What? Are you crazy? Our speed is super-light now. Once you leave the speed field, the reaction time is probably only one millionth of a millisecond."

Wally, who was acting as a mount, disagreed. He shook his head wildly and refused in a stern tone:

"I'm not a carriage or a train. I can jump out of the car without any harm. If you land at this speed and suddenly slow down, you will definitely fall and be seriously injured. I can't explain it to Diana."

He didn't know how many westerns Donna had been watching lately, or if she was influenced by Deathstroke, but this plan was a little crazy.

"As long as you throw it accurately enough, as long as I catch Hermes, the situation you mentioned won't happen. It's like a cowboy jumping between two running horses. It's not difficult."

Donna, who was determined, had already thought about it. As long as she could jump onto the messenger, there would be no problem of slowing down:

"And I don't need to explain my affairs to my sister. She is her and I am me. I have lived in her shadow for enough times. Don't force me to be tough. Mr. Luosuo, you know me."

Hearing what Donna said, Wally suddenly shuddered.

As a former teammate of the Titans, he knew Donna's methods very well. How can I put it, compared to Diana who likes order and abides by the rules of human society, Donna sometimes seems less rigid.

If she didn't listen to her, she might go to Raven afterwards and prepare a horrible prank for herself, such as opening the bed at night and finding that it wasn't her wife on the bed, but a large group of bleeding tentacles.

"Then get ready, step on my shoulder, you only have one chance." Wally compromised. Since he had told Donna all the risks, she still insisted, so she would give it a try.

Not to mention, being so risk-taking really brought back some of the feelings he had when fighting side by side with the Titans.

"I understand, stop talking nonsense. You know that in the eyes of Amazons, a man like you who is forward-thinking has no charm at all." Tanna held down Wally's head, put her feet on his shoulders, and took a deep breath. Tone: "Right now, lean in!"
