The Death Knell

The term 'Speed ​​9' is a bit unfamiliar to many superheroes, let alone ordinary people. It is impossible to know this term.

But as one of the Big Three, Wonder Woman certainly knows this term, because its existence has always been like a Pandora's box.

When it comes to this kind of thing, we have to mention "Savage" Wanda Savage. Many people think that he just lived long enough and was an immortal. He is the old enemy of Hawkman and Hawkgirl, and an old enemy of the Justice League.

But in fact, many people ignore how Wanda travels through time.

A savage who lived to a certain point in the future invented a compound that allowed ordinary people to gain super speed and even run into the plane of the Speed ​​Force.

Anyone can do this if they take medication, whether it's a crawling baby or an old man on crutches.

But this drug also has very serious side effects. It can cause accelerated aging, easy fatigue, bloodshot eyes, daze, excessive salivation, and even sudden death.

It is a true sudden death, the kind that is turned into ashes in the lightning of the Speed ​​Force.

Savage sold this compound to some future villains, causing the future villains to come to the 21st century to play with Barry. He himself used the drug as fuel for his time machine.

So he could go back to any point in time through this device, which also gave him the reputation of having thousands of incarnations and causing trouble everywhere.

But he also paid a price. Although this compound named 'Speed ​​9' did not kill him, it also affected his intelligence. There are obvious differences between different savages at different times before and after a certain time period. IQ gap.

There is another Speed ​​9 with different side effects. That is the death knell of Earth 0 who robbed a savage individual and tortured out the chemical formula of Speed ​​9, and then found someone to make some improvements.

This 'New Speed ​​9' was changed into an injection, and the aftereffects are to make people crazy. The injected person will laugh uncontrollably, lose their rationality and IQ, and turn into a mentally retarded monster with the power of speed.

The villain named 'Inertia' was injected with this potion by Deathstroke, but he was just a victim. Deathstroke used him as a tool to play dark games with the Titan team.

This Inertia is a clone of Barry's future grandson Bart Allen. Injected with the new Speed ​​9, he defeated the Titans team, including Barry and Wally who were resting at home, because the two Flashes would not kill him.

But he was really out of his mind and went to Midtown to compete for the title of number one speedster.

The result is that this poor disposable toy is killed by the gang of scoundrels, because to them, Barry is irreplaceable. Only they can bully Flash, and others will die if they touch Barry.

In short, the thing is like this, no matter what kind of Speed ​​9 it is, it has serious side effects. Wonder Woman doesn't know how Batman got the preparation method for it, but obviously no one should use it.

"That's enough, Bruce, stop, it's not worth it." She put down the Erlenmeyer flask in her hand, and the liquid in it was still shaken into a small vortex: "We really need to leave this point in time, but it's definitely not with this Plant something and it will destroy you, even if you are Batman.”

"I thought you were going to ask me where it came from." Batman didn't listen to her, just like he had never listened to her opinions in the past, and continued to mix the powder in his hand: "You have changed, let me It was a bit of a surprise.”

In fact, Diana was about to ask him where the prescription came from, but she didn't have time yet... When Bat said this, she didn't know if she should ask.

Fortunately, in order to distract her and buy time for himself to make the medicine, Batman used stealing techniques to steal the Erlenmeyer flask on the table, and then took the initiative to tell how he got it.

First ask to arouse interest and a sense of involvement, what is underground in Gotham City?

Amber gold and Dionysian gold.

Either of these two things can make people immortal. Although the former requires freezing technology to turn people into cold-blooded animals, and the latter can make people crazy, for some people, they are undoubtedly good things.

Edmund's excavation work today was the same one where he discovered Dionysian gold. His drill bit went all the way down to the blood-red underground lake, and Jack, who was dueling with him, also fell to his death on the edge of the lake. .

Batman waited for Jack to fall to death and stuffed a Flash ring into his body. He knew that the body would be discovered about 130 years later, and everything on him would be sent to the Gotham City Museum. Go inside.

The Flash's ring is obviously something out of date. The existence of this thing may not necessarily attract Barry from Earth 16, but it will definitely attract Barry's crazy fan, that is, the Reverse Flash.

No matter what age the corpse is, as long as it has something to do with the Flash, Reverse Flash will be there to watch. This is due to his curiosity and his desire to defeat Barry.

What's more, the body holding the ring was found next to the Dionysus Pond? Does this mean Barry actually drank the water? Is Barry also immortal? Did he kill someone?

The dark Batman knows that these secrets are irresistible bait for Reverse Flash, so he entered the sewer project just to take advantage of this site.

As expected, the future Reverse-Flash came to investigate at this point in time, and fell right into the trap that Batman had prepared.

Through the capture of Captain Cold's cryogun and Mr. Freeze's freeze jet, the Bat has enough backup plans on how to deal with the speedster. Even Barry can defeat tactics that are naturally not a problem against Reverse Flash.

He captured Reverse Flash, who came to investigate at the time of the incident, and then made a deal with him.

He said that he had a very dark plan. Once used, Reverse Flash would lose all memories of Barry, and if he didn't want to lose it, he would have to listen to his arrangements.

He actually had no such plan, but he guessed Reverse-Flash wouldn't bet on whether he did.

Sure enough, even if it was a bluff, Reverse Flash was still scared.

There was no way, he was no match for Batman, so he could only go into the time stream and help him get the formula and materials for Speed ​​9 from a certain savage's other-time counterpart.

Because the Savage itself is an alternative existence in the time stream, no matter which one is robbed, there will be no butterfly effect. This is the safest way.

With the prescription and materials in hand, Reverse-Flash also got Batman's promise never to launch that plan, and the two parties separated. Next, the Dark Knight returned to the top of the cave, and happened to hear Deadpool making a joke about 'filling the loopholes' .......

"This is what happened before, and this is why I have the formula for Speed ​​9 in my hand." Batman said calmly, as condensation was completing in the test tube in front of him.

"Why not let Reverse Flash take us away directly? Or let Reverse Flash find Barry in this world..." Diana had been completely attracted by the story, and she didn't realize that during the story telling time, Batman's work on preparing the drug is almost complete.

The Dark Knight gave a non-standard answer. He put the test tube containing the finished potion into his pocket and turned around:

"I don't believe them because I can't understand the Speed ​​Force; but I can understand the chemical formula and judge that the formula is real."
