The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1429

Everything that happened today shattered the boy's understanding of life. His friends died one by one before his eyes, but he could do nothing about it.

For the sake of the fate of the entire planet, he had to suppress all his extraneous emotions and press that damn button as fast as he could.

However, even though Kidd thought he had used his fastest speed, he still couldn't get rid of that damned red ray.

According to Flash Boy's speculation, if he had chosen to ignore the red ray and press the button in the first place, he would have been killed in that small room before he could even accelerate.

Therefore, he had to run a long lap first to shake off the red rays before going back to press the button. However, the result of the early morning session is that he has already circled the earth several times and still has no way to get rid of or exhaust those damn rays.

This defies the laws of physics. Flash Kid even deliberately added irregular, non-linear running patterns to his run, but no matter what he did, he just couldn't do it.

Kid Flash had been running at his top speed for three minutes. He knew Robin must be dead. Now, besides himself, the only other member of the Young Justice League was Zatanna, who was stationed at the base.

It's not that I look down on Zatanna, but what almost the entire team couldn't do, Zatanna alone certainly couldn't do. When the Justice League finally returns in triumph, what awaits them isn't flowers and champagne, but a death trap.

'If only I could be faster.'

Every speedster might have this thought: they are always greedily demanding more. However, the desire for more is never for their own sake. Rather, it is more accurate to say that speedsters are burning themselves out while running.

'It's over.' Lightning Boy was devastated, but he quickly regained his fighting spirit.

Since defeat is inevitable, let's fight it out before we die.

Lightning Boy had already realized that the red ray following him was determined to achieve its goal, leaving him with only one path: death.

However, Kid Flash wasn't going to die so meaninglessly; he wanted to walk a little further down the road to death.

'My vibrating hand knife can cut through anything.'

When your speed reaches a certain level, you can unlock the fastest assassination skill, Vibrating Hand Chop.

This "knife" is different from those magical weapons that people know. It is not sharp, but even Superman has to avoid its edge.

Because the vibrating hand knife vibrates at high speed from the molecular level, once it reaches a certain level, there is no substance that cannot be cut by this "knife". Everything is as soft as a piece of tofu in front of the vibrating hand knife.

A few months ago, Flash Boy had already learned to use this skill, but he wasn't very proficient at it. However, after these months of practice, he has now mastered the skill perfectly.

Kidd was confident that once he got close enough, he could pierce Darkseid's chest and tear his heart apart.

Of course, since it was unclear whether the opponent's body structure was the same as that of a human, the Kid of Lightning prepared to use both hands simultaneously, one aimed at the human's heart and the other at the brain.

Just as Kidd was getting ready to go toe-to-toe with Darkseid, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Lightning Boy, are you still conscious?"

The voice was all too familiar to Lightning Boy; it was Yang Le, the guardian of their Junior Justice League. Hearing that familiar voice, Lightning Boy, who hadn't even cried after witnessing the death of his comrade, suddenly felt a lump in his throat and his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Yes, Mr. Yang, I am still alive."

Kid Flash, overjoyed and with a hint of grievance in his mind, replied, "But Robin, Superboy... everyone is dead, only Zatanna and I are still alive."

Yang Le, who had just returned to Earth, was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't expected that the situation on Earth would be so dire, with the Young Justice League practically wiped out.

“I’m about to die too. Darkseid released a red ray that I can’t shake off. I guess it won’t be long before it catches up with me.”

"Please, you must kill that guy and avenge us!"

The emotional fluctuations caused by Lightning Boy's subsequent words were significant, and Yang Le, who had established a mental connection with him, directly sensed the other's anger and sadness.

To be honest, Yang Le felt the same way. He had been living with these kids for years and had long regarded them as his students, or even his children.

It's fair to say that Yang Le is furious right now. The last time he was this angry was when he was ambushed by that naked, bald blue-haired guy.

However, he had to restrain his anger for the time being, because he really had no way to deal with the Omega Ray right now.

"Listen, Lightning Boy, I need you to run faster now."

"Run faster?"

Lightning Boy was a little confused, but he still answered honestly, "But I've already accelerated to the maximum speed, and I can't go any faster."

Wally West in Young Justice has consistently underperformed, always overshadowed by Barry Allen and Bart Allen, and has even faced embarrassing situations where he couldn't keep up and couldn't understand what they were saying.

However, this does not mean Wally is weak. His potential is limitless, and he even held the title of the fastest in the DC Universe for a long time until he was later defeated by Bart, who was connected to the Speed ​​Force.

To reiterate, Yang Le doesn't think Wally is slow enough; if the latter wanted to, he could definitely become the fastest.

“Listen, this isn’t your limit, kid.” Yang Le stood beside a wheat field. “You may not remember the kid, but it was your breakthrough last time that saved my life.”

Kid Flash was disappointed to hear this, as he didn't have any related memories. This was normal, since Yang Le had used the power of X-Men to modify everyone's memories, erasing all memories related to the blue bald guy.

“I’m right next to my wheat field right now. You have to come here.” Yang Le glanced at the gold card in his hand, which shone even brighter in the twilight sunlight.

"Listen, Wally, I have a way to save Robin and the others, but you need to run faster and make sure you pass right where I am right now while you're speeding up."

"Believe me, you can do it."

After saying that, Yang Le stopped talking and instead took a picture of the Omnitrix, which turned into a flashing star. Only in this way could he keep up with Wally's speed as he ran at full speed.
