Golden lightning bolts danced like thousands of tiny golden snakes in the sky above the sealed-off area.
A crack was slowly widening under the onslaught of countless lightning bolts, like a gaping maw ready to devour everything.
"Yes, I saw it."
Chapter 94 will be available tomorrow at noon!
It will be available tomorrow at noon!
First, as usual, the sob story begins. To be honest, this book has had really bad luck. The data was good, and its popularity wasn't low, but it ran into a version nerf. Even with the nerf, it would have been quite strong if released in the first half of the year against the meta, but then it hit the crazy summer release season. If fanfiction up to last year was easy mode, this year's fanfiction trying to get a summer release and achieve a clean sweep is like an Ogre graduating from elementary school in the Land of Light, only to have the tutorial tell him, "Congratulations, you've received your elementary school graduation certificate. Now try to defeat Gatanothor!"
To be honest, this book wouldn't have made it this far without the support of every single reader; it's been incredibly difficult.
Of course, as the saying goes, "Strong winds reveal the strength of the grass, and fierce fire refines true gold." Whether it takes off or crashes, we'll have to wait and see tomorrow's first-day subscription figures to know. Please! Let's get some first-day subscriptions! I'll try my best to update!
First, five chapters will be released in one go after the book goes on sale tomorrow at noon. Qidian's first-day subscription statistics are based on the number of subscriptions within 24 hours of the chapter going on sale. So, based on the number of subscriptions by noon on Saturday, we will continue to release more chapters as needed.
This book currently has nearly 50,000 favorites and 6,500 readers following its release. This means approximately 50,000 people have added the book to their bookshelves, and around 6,500 paying subscribers have read the latest chapter within 24 hours of its release. Therefore, readership is generally the most effective metric for measuring subscriptions before a book is released.
The initial subscription requirement isn't high; let's start with 3,000 subscriptions. For every 500 subscriptions above the target, we'll add one extra chapter. If we reach 6,500 readers, then we'll add seven extra chapters on Saturday, plus the two chapters already scheduled for that day, making it nine chapters a day!
But thinking about it, since I've already added nine chapters, I might as well round it up. If I really do manage to get a high enough subscription number, I'll have ten chapters on Saturday!
Of course, that's only a theoretical possibility; it's definitely extremely difficult, haha. But you should always have dreams, right? What if it happens?
That's all for now, I'm going to pull an all-nighter to prepare some drafts. Please subscribe tomorrow at noon! Thank you in advance!!!
Chapter 95 Let's turn ourselves in.
a few minutes ago.
Midtown, the laboratory of physicist Dr. Elias.
This is one of the most cutting-edge laboratories in Midtown. The walls are painted a pure white, making it appear clean and bright. The room is spacious and airy, filled with a high-tech atmosphere. The floor is covered with smooth marble, reflecting the light.
A complex network of pipes and colorful cables hung from the ceiling, connecting various experimental devices. Portable instruments and monitoring equipment filled mobile workbenches, and the room was filled with a faint electronic smell and the sound of machinery.
Dr. Elias and his assistant stood by the laboratory window.
"Finally, this moment has finally arrived!"
Dr. Elias wore an expectant expression.
"Finally, after so many years of research and so many years of searching, I have finally found a way to control this god-like energy!"
The assistant was equally excited: "It's unbelievable. You are certainly the first person in the world to figure out how time, the most common yet most mysterious thing for humankind, works."
Who would believe it? It's practically a miracle.
Several years ago, Dr. Elias first noticed the existence of that mysterious energy. Through his research, he gradually became convinced that this energy was the key to driving the entire spacetime of the world.
And now he is getting closer and closer. He is quite certain that he will be the first great scholar in human history to unlock the secrets of time.
The explosions that occurred in Central City before were all accidents, caused by his failure to obtain and open the energy field of spacetime energy.
Dr. Elias felt sorry for the few people who were caught up in the accidental disappearance, but who cares?
Scientific progress always comes with sacrifices. Throughout history, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Once they succeed and can harness this energy and unlock the secrets of time, no one will care about such small details.
Having learned from the previous two failures, all the instruments were calibrated and all the parameters were adjusted. This time would be the final one; he would personally open the portal to time and space and draw upon its miraculous energy.
Dr. Elias excitedly pointed out the window, towards the city center and the cloudless sky: "Look at that azure sky!"
"I see it!" The assistant exclaimed excitedly. "Yes, Doctor, I see a miracle, I see the future! I see people reciting your name, and you will have a place among all the great figures of history!"
Dr. Elias gave him a blank, expressionless look.
"I haven't even pressed the switch yet, there's clearly nothing there."
assistant:"."
"And now, the moment to truly witness a miracle has arrived!" Dr. Elias slammed the switch down.
All the equipment in the lab roared to life, the instrument readings jumping wildly. Massive amounts of data flashed across the large screen, the machines emitting a near-overload roar, radiating streaks of golden lightning.
The two eagerly approached the window, only to see golden lightning beginning to appear in mid-air!
This time, unlike the previous two failures, the powerful spacetime energy did not explode immediately after it appeared, but instead gradually tore cracks in space!
"We did it! We did it!" Dr. Elias exclaimed ecstatically. "Did you see that? We did it! The portal to time is opening, and behind it lies the secret of time!"
Yes, but...
The assistant looked at the instrument's readings with a hint of surprise and uncertainty.
"The portal is a bit... beyond our calculations," the assistant stammered. "It looks less like a portal and more like a wormhole! A very powerful wormhole!"
It's generating extremely strong gravity; if it continues to expand, it might suck everything nearby in.
"Yes, this is worth noting down." The doctor nodded.
The assistant hesitated for a moment, then said, "But that would... the entire street below could be sucked in, and there could be heavy casualties."
"So?" Dr. Elias asked.
The assistant choked for a moment: "So...so...maybe we should consider shutting it down?"
"Are you an idiot? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance to uncover the ultimate secrets of the universe! And you want to let this opportunity slip by because of a few insignificant lives?"
Dr. Elias rebuked him sternly.
"That's impossible. This sacrifice is perfectly acceptable for the progress of science. We'll increase our efforts!"
"Yes, Doctor."
The wormhole rapidly opened, flashing with golden lightning. A bottomless vortex ripped through the air's calm, its powerful gravity transforming into a nighttime hurricane that effortlessly warped everything in its path. Glass shattered, dust and debris swirled in the air. Roads collapsed, vehicles lifted off the ground, crushed into dust before being sucked into the massive vortex.
If it is allowed to continue to expand, it may turn into a disaster that engulfs an entire city.
But no one will ever know this "if".
Suddenly, a golden light shot into the sky, followed by a giant enveloped in golden light. Before the golden light had even dissipated, the red-silver giant's arms formed a cross, and a vast, azure wave of light surged towards the wormhole like a raging river!
Specium Rays!
Specium energy can do much more than just destroy. Just as Zeta in the TV series can forcibly restore shattered space with his ultimate move, the Zestimm Ray, injecting a sufficient amount of Specium energy can achieve the same effect.
And so everyone witnessed this astonishing and shocking scene.
The giant of light emerged right after the wormhole, unleashing a powerful beam of azure light that abruptly halted the rapidly expanding crack!
The immense gravity seemed to be severed instantly, and the unbridled gale was as if it had been forced back into the void by the light. The expanding wormhole was instantly filled with the azure light, trembled with difficulty for a moment, and then seemed to quickly exhaust its power, beginning to shrink unwillingly under the suppression of the blue light.
In the laboratory, Dr. Elias and his assistant stared wide-eyed out the window, then slowly turned their heads to look at each other.
Then they quickly realized that the other person's mouth was wide open, just like theirs, big enough to stuff a pineapple into each of them.
No, can someone explain to them what this is?
A giant appeared out of nowhere and casually conjured up a beam of light—anything at all—that directly blocked their spacetime portal.
That's a wormhole!
Can't you at least give it some basic respect?
After a Specium was unleashed, Shen You stopped firing, and the cracks in front of him stopped expanding and began to shrink little by little.
After observing the wormhole and the energy readings, he had a thought, and his whole body shone brightly again, transforming into a ball of light that rushed straight towards the shrinking spatial rift and plunged inside.
A few seconds after it went in, a pair of hands even reached out from inside, grabbing the edges of the contracting crack from the left and right, and exerting force from the inside to accelerate the contraction process.
He even closed the door behind him after he went inside.
The survivors on the street stared blankly at the sky, at the location where the wormhole appeared and the giant materialized. They were all speechless, finding it hard to believe what they were seeing.
Dr. Elias and his assistant fell into deep thought.
Just seconds before, he thought he was about to master the power of the gods and make a name for himself in history.
But when Elias saw the giant who had suddenly appeared casually close the wormhole, as easily as closing a window, he suddenly felt that it was rather boring.
The laboratory fell silent for a moment.
Until his assistant suddenly spoke up.
“Let’s turn ourselves in, Doctor. I suddenly feel it’s pointless to have harmed so many innocent people because of this stupid experiment.”
"okay."
Dr. Elias nodded in agreement.
"Let me go get a coat first."
Chapter 96 Speed Force
Shen You hovered in mid-air, slowly looking around.
Chaos was his first impression of the space he was in.
A scene of utter chaos, the sky filled with vibrant colors, the disordered landscape distorting reality, and upside-down pavilions standing in the air. Stone statues are misaligned, and buildings and mountains intertwine.
A rusty British Spitfire fighter plane was stuck in the middle of a towering mountain peak, while at its foot lay an overturned Tiger tank, its body riddled with scratches and bullet holes, the origins of which were impossible to ascertain, or how long it had been forgotten in this time and space.
Time and space intertwine here, with chaotic clouds drifting through the colorful sky. Upside-down pavilions float in the air, and stone statues are scattered haphazardly on the ground, their shapes distorted and deformed, as if telling a chaotic history.
The abnormal spatial energy reaction of the time-space bracelet has never been so intense.
Shen You vaguely realized that this was the legendary "Speed Field," the energy source that propels the entire multiverse forward, and the source of the speed of the fastest person in the world.
Machines from the war era, stone statues, mountains, and ancient buildings from an unknown period.
The Speed Force's settings have been rebooted again and again, but this scene quickly reminded Shen You of a description in the Flash magazine that matched the current situation.
The Speed Force is like a giant sphere of energy existing in an independent spacetime. It propels every spacetime within the multiverse forward, but as it moves, its energy rapidly expands and accumulates until it exceeds a critical value and urgently needs to be released.
When energy accumulates excessively, it becomes violent, like a pressure cooker that could explode at any moment. Therefore, the shadow of the Speed Force begins to appear in many different dimensions. Sometimes it manifests as a bolt of lightning, sometimes as a fleeting spatial rift, and sometimes as a spacetime explosion.
Many things in history have mysteriously disappeared because of this. For example, some of the ruins of the Mayan civilization, and the stone statues, airplanes, and tanks that Shen You see before him now, whose origins are unknown. There are also some unfortunate beings from different eras who were inexplicably swept into the space of the Speed Force and are forever trapped here.
Many inexplicable historical events are linked to the Speed Force. These include mysteriously disappeared planes and ships that have never been found, and even people who supposedly disappeared and reappeared decades later without having aged.
