American comics: Random transformations

"Eh! Yah, yah, yah..."

Dick Grayson twitched violently. The electrotherapy worked wonders, instantly restoring Dick's body to its peak condition. Except for the hair on his body, which stood on end due to static electricity, everything was fine.

"Phew! Are you trying to electrocute me to death!"

"You have the genes of a giant in you. With this little bit of electricity, at most you'll be seriously injured. It's not that easy to die!

Alright, stop playing dead. It's time for you to work!"

Dick Grayson got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and rubbed his frizzy hair.

"What work? Holy shrimp? Where did you dig out this train from?"

Looking over, the oval-shaped bullet train head was painted with a grinning shark face. The train body, wrapped in red lightning, made this train look quite different from a normal train.

"I built it. Come with me!"

The two entered the train. After all, this was built primarily for rescue purposes, so the interior of this train had no seats. Removing the seats allowed more people to stand inside the carriages.

There were a total of five carriages, plus the train head, making six in total.

There wasn't much to say about the carriages. Apart from the necessary metal pillars, there was nothing else.

Tian Xiaoban led Dick Grayson to the train head. Although the outside looked like an oval-shaped bullet head, the internal space was actually quite large.

Inside, a cosmic treadmill, modified by Gray Wolf Xiaoban, was fixed in place. As long as Reverse-Flash ran on this treadmill, all the Negative Speed Force generated by his running would be absorbed by the energy storage tank next to it.

The storage tank was removed from the large cosmic treadmill outside. Gray Wolf Xiaoban also reinforced and upgraded this storage tank to make it stronger and have a larger storage capacity for the Negative Speed Force!

The storage tank was also marked with an energy display bar to ensure real-time monitoring of the internal energy of the storage tank.

This way, Reverse-Flash could store energy in advance. When the energy was insufficient, he could be made to continue running and continue storing. Anyway, he had so many clones, it wouldn't matter if a few of them ran to death.

Tian Xiaoban pointed to another platform and said, "Insert your Dark Spark Lens!"

The other platform had a groove that perfectly matched the size of the Dark Spark Lens.

Dick Grayson didn't ask any further questions. Many things here were labeled. As long as you weren't stupid, you could tell what they were for by looking at the labels. Just do as you were told.

As the Dark Spark Lens was inserted, it was like a car key being inserted into the car's ignition.

Dick looked at the arrow operations on the upper side of the groove and twisted the cover plate of the Spark Lens.

This train was ignited and started!

......

At the same time that this train started, a faint blue light in the universe, about to be extinguished, seemed to have received a summons. It rushed towards the Earth without stopping.

......

"Wow! Cool! What is this?"

Dick Grayson was extremely excited as he watched the lights light up throughout the train!

Tian Xiaoban looked up at the ceiling of the train at a 45-degree angle, saying with a profound and unpredictable expression:

"A survival tool I made!

As long as you are responsible for controlling the direction and let Reverse-Flash provide the energy!

Then this time train, which can travel through the timeline! Can save everyone in this collapsing space-time!

For the sake of stability, to prevent accidents! The number of passengers that can be carried per trip is best around 2000, try not to exceed 2000. Because the remaining number of people needs to be made up by Reverse-Flash's clones.

I can guarantee that the transportation of fewer than 2000 people is absolutely safe, but exceeding 2000 people, it will depend on your luck.

Maybe you'll die on the way, or be swept away by the space-time turbulence."

Dick Grayson's fist clenched, then loosened, and he complained helplessly:

"Crap, can't you say something nice? You've created something that can save the world!

Not just this Gotham, you are also a hero of this world!"

Tian Xiaoban rolled his eyes at him. This guy was taking things too much for granted:

"Forget it! This space-time node itself is unstable. Do you still want to come to this broken place a few more times?

Although I believe that this thing is sturdy enough after being built by me. But if you are really unlucky and encounter an unsolvable thing like space-time collapse! Then this time train will definitely be torn into pieces by the chaotic space-time turbulence!"

"Is that so."

Dick Grayson didn't show much disappointment. From the actions they had taken before, he could guess that these people struggling in the apocalypse had already known what to expect.

"Save as many as you can. We were actually mentally prepared for this. By the way, when can we leave?"

He really didn't want to stay in this damn place for even a second longer!

Tian Xiaoban thought for a while: "Anytime is fine. When I removed the energy storage tank from the large cosmic treadmill, I already checked it. It's fully charged.

Although I upgraded it a bit and expanded the capacity, the energy inside should be enough to take these 998 people away from this damn place."

"Okay, I'll go get people! Let's leave here as soon as possible!"

Dick Grayson ran out, even forgetting to take the Dark Spark Lens with him.

Tian Xiaoban walked to the side of the storage tank and pressed a few times on the control buttons next to it. The Negative Speed Force stored in the storage tank began to charge the wheels of the train.

This was a starting device, so the train wouldn't need to run for a few kilometers before it could open the space-time channel.

......

At this time, the blue light transformed into a meteor was still on its way to Earth...

......

Half an hour later, the remaining people finally all boarded the train.

It's no wonder the survivors were suspicious. This suddenly appearing train was made by that werewolf, and it was full of suspicion and disbelief.

Moreover, even if it was made, so what? What couldn't he have built? He built a train!

There were obviously no tracks here. Whether it could move was still unknown, and he wanted to trick people into getting on the train?

Harley Quinn threatened with gestures, Poison Ivy threatened with man-eating plants, and even a few who disobeyed were tied into rice dumplings and thrown onto the train, simple and crude to the point of scaring people away.

This wasted a lot of time.

It was all thanks to the credibility of Dick Grayson, the second-generation Batman, that these people got on this black train.

Reverse-Flash had also come up. They were all driven to the first carriage. Their position on the train was like the coal that would be stored in half a carriage of an old-fashioned coal-burning train every time.

Whenever there was not enough energy, these people could be pulled over and used.

The Dark Spark Lens was still in the train head! Dick Grayson alone was enough to order them to work.

The train broadcast sounded:

[Train starting, please hold on to the handrails, next stop: Escape this damn place.]

The train's wheels flashed with red electric light, as the stored energy began to erupt!

The super-fast start caused everyone to lean backward, and the unlucky few against the wall were almost crushed.

Just as this black train was about to rush into the opened time tunnel,

a blue meteor caught up with them and quickly attached itself to the train, unknowingly carrying the blue light away from this doomsday world.

Chapter 169: Time Never Lets You Have Your Way (13)

In the radiant and dazzling time tunnel, a black train, like a loach, burrowed into this boundless passage.

Dark energy transformed into the train's tracks, allowing this time train to rapidly advance against the flow of time, heading towards the past!

Having never been here before, Dick Grayson curiously observed everything around him.

Although it was all the same dazzling scenery, he could occasionally see a few black shadows shuttling back and forth within the colors.

In the control room at the front of the train, there were only four people: Ben Tennyson, the second Batman Dick Grayson, Reverse-Flash, and his clone. Everyone else was in the carriages behind.

At this moment, Reverse-Flash's clone was sprinting on that small cosmic treadmill!

This was specially brought over by Ben Tennyson to be used as a mobile power source.

Because he never expected that the Negative Speed Force's energy would be consumed so quickly!

Originally, there was still 2/3 of the energy left, but just after entering the time tunnel and not having progressed far, it had already been depleted to 1/3.

To continue moving the train backward in time, relying on this energy to reach Ben Tennyson's timeline was impossible. The most likely scenario was that they would break out of the time tunnel and find a new point in time to rest and recharge the energy storage tanks.

......

To cope with possible dangers, they brought Reverse-Flash's main body to the control room at the front of the train.

After some fruitless persuasion and a non-violent, non-cooperative attitude, Reverse-Flash was pinned in the corner by Ben Tennyson and Dick Grayson.

Under severe interrogation.

Now, the most important thing was to ask which point in time would be the safest to appear in.

This required Reverse-Flash, a man from the future, to answer.

After all, even Ben Tennyson, who had possessed Reverse-Flash's clone, couldn't possibly know how to integrate these 998 people into a safe timeline.

......

Reverse-Flash felt very broken. In the beginning, he was very arrogant, acting like a know-it-all from the future, saying he wouldn't lie to them.

He was thinking about how to trick Dick and the others, and then steal the train. Anyway, the Dark Spark Prism that controlled him was stuck on the train's control panel; to control him, they would have to pull it out.

But Ben Tennyson was the one who created the time train, and he actually had a device that could restrict speedsters.

These were several leash-like collars; once they were fastened, the Negative Speed Force within him would be continuously extracted by the chain and transferred to the time train's energy storage tank.

This made Reverse-Flash lose his greatest reliance, and he didn't even have the means to resist.

Without the Negative Speed Force, this middle-aged man was no match for two strong young men.

Ben Tennyson took the opportunity to throw a few more punches, with electric shocks attached, ensuring that each blow made Reverse-Flash want to die, but he just couldn't die.

Dick Grayson had some reservations. He didn't have any strange energy either. He was afraid that if he hit too hard, he would kill the train's mobile power source, so he helped hold Reverse-Flash down but didn't attack.

"Ah, F*ck, stop hitting me! I'll talk!"

Finally, great strength creates miracles.

Reverse-Flash was ready to confess:

"All other timelines are safe! With that Flash guy watching, no speedsters dare to cause trouble in the normal timelines anymore!

That crazy Flash would kill any speedster who tried to modify the timeline, even if they came from other parallel universes. He would kill them all.

I specifically created an abnormal time node just to avoid his pursuit!"

Ben Tennyson nodded: "That's indeed the reason he's hiding there! I already understood this when I possessed his clone before.

But well…"

Ben Tennyson kicked Reverse-Flash against the wall with a liver shot: "This guy is very dishonest!"

"The time train's power source is the Negative Speed Force, an energy that can become stronger by absorbing Speed Force. This can increase the energy intensity of the Negative Speed Force, rather than increasing the energy storage capacity, so we still have to rely on Reverse-Flash and his clone to recharge the storage tanks.

Therefore, in this time tunnel created by the Speed Force, our actions are very safe. The Negative Speed Force energy shell gives our time train a natural advantage in the time tunnel…

So I dare say that there will definitely be no problems inside the train I built!"

After Ben Tennyson finished speaking, Reverse-Flash had recovered again, but his expression was very ugly, as if he had guessed what Ben Tennyson was going to say:

"But if we had previously transported those survivors according to Reverse-Flash's plan, then you wouldn't have been able to escape the pursuit of those Time Wraiths!"

Dick Grayson was dumbfounded: "Time Wraiths?" Just hearing the name made one guess how dangerous they were.

Reverse-Flash stared at Ben Tennyson, wishing he could kill him now, but he had originally planned to trick them into a new time node and then let the Time Wraiths solve them! That way, he, Reverse-Flash, could obtain a train that could travel through time without having to do it himself!

Now, it seemed like there was no chance.

Ben Tennyson continued to explain to Dick Grayson:

"Yes! They are the kind of beings who are black from head to toe, wearing a battle suit that is even blacker than Reverse-Flash's current one.

To be precise, they can't be considered living beings, just like their nickname—"Ghosts of Time," they are ghosts made from dead objects!

They are all dead speedsters who have been resurrected by the Speed Force space using the Speed Force, and they serve as the managers of time.

All speedsters who try to modify time will be targeted by the Time Wraiths, and they will never rest until they are dead!"
