A blood-red downpour began, falling in dense, heavy rain.

The battlefield, which was just moments ago filled with deafening noise, is now reduced to the roar of the Yellow Lantern warriors battling Superman.

The light of fear was condensed into all sorts of weapons by the user's will, and was continuously hurled at the seemingly impenetrable steel body.

Clearly, they were acting on Sinestro's orders to temporarily distract Superman through an attack.

Although these Yellow Lantern warriors, each with their own grotesque appearance, harbored a savage desire in their eyes, they still limited the power of their battles to a pre-calculated range.

Superman, unable to escape the skies above Metropolis, dared not overextend himself and was repeatedly bogged down in the limited battlefield space by these yellow-light warriors.

At some point, Reverse Lightning had shed its lazy, detached, arm-crossed demeanor.

His gaze swept across the chaotic battlefield and landed on a slope not far away.

A tattered Flash helmet was rolling along the slope of the road, clanging and rattling.

The helmet finally stopped when it hit a raised paving stone, lying crookedly on the spot.

The tremors around Reverse Lightning gradually subsided. He turned around to confirm that the girl was still doing her best to suppress the magic power within her body, and then walked straight towards the tattered helmet.

Standing still, head bowed, Reverse Lightning suddenly let out a very faint sigh.

"So, the unknown person who was the first to be killed by the emperor was you."

After a moment of silence, he raised his head and looked at the Yellow Lantern warrior who had fallen still in the air.

In the sky, Li Zhen frowned slightly and subconsciously raised her left hand, which was wearing the yellow light ring.

He had never worn this ring for so long before.

Although the spectrum of fear continued to amplify his senses, at the same time, faint, hoarse whispers were constantly trying to penetrate his mind.

The mechanism of the fear spectrum is neither physical nor magical; those mind-eroding whispers can only be resisted through sheer willpower.

Fortunately, he has a pretty good willpower.

but.

A bold idea suddenly flashed through Li Zhen's mind.

If Superman in black still doesn't plan to show himself, and if I wear this ring for even a little longer—

Some time?

This thought, like a vine, instantly wrapped around his mind.

Seneca's lips curled into a smile. He had personally designed this weapon that spread fear. Those seemingly seductive whispers were merely a facade. In reality, anyone who wore this ring would be subtly influenced, no matter how strong their willpower was.

His face already showed a look of determination.

Just as Li Zhen was lost in thought, the aerial hurricane that had been created by the high-speed flight gradually subsided.

Seconds ago, at the moment the speedster who lost his mind due to some unknown factor was smashed, something exceptionally light, swept up by the hurricane, broke free from the airflow and slowly drifted down from the sky.

Li Zhen's wandering thoughts were interrupted by the falling object in front of her. Her gaze shifted downwards, and then she reached out her right hand, gently pinching and firmly grasping an envelope stained with blood.

Reverse Flash's eyes lit up slightly, then he casually turned his gaze to the Yellow Lanterns' battlefield.

The Yellow Lantern warriors were surrounded by a dense yellow light, and various weapons materializing fear in their hands were formed. They bombarded Superman with a dense barrage of attacks, and the dazzling yellow light completely obscured Superman's figure.

"Um?"

Seeing that the warriors who were supposed to be recruited into the Yellow Lantern Legion were suddenly diverted, Seneca finally couldn't help but speak up, intending to add fuel to the fire.

"What are you waiting for? You are such an exceptional warrior, you were born to spread fear..."

Reverse-Flash glanced at Sinestro, who was talking eloquently in the air, and scoffed with a hint of disdain, but his expression also became somewhat serious.

His arrival in this timeline was not actually for the otherworldly Flash, who was recorded as an unknown person in history.

What happened today will be clearly recorded in future history: the moment Seneca successfully recruited him was the moment he met his death.

Without his push, the boy would undoubtedly have had his heart pierced by the insane speedster.

Having personally experienced death and undergone a dramatic emotional shift, he called upon the Yellow Lantern Legion to descend in his dying moments…

He seized power on the spot and killed Sinestro, and before a mysterious powerful being arrived, he escaped into the antimatter universe with the help of Parallax, who also favored the boy.

It survived for fifteen years in the antimatter universe before reappearing, and has now perfectly merged with the Parallax monster.

Imperial Chastity.

For the next century, Earth's history was shrouded in a ruling order of extreme fear.

It wasn't that no one could defeat him during that time, but each time Emperor Jeanne would shrink into the antimatter universe, and when she reappeared, Earth would be in a state where no one could restrain her for a short period of time.

The Flash from Another World is right about one thing: Reverse-Flash does often manipulate fate at crucial moments, making the world what he wants it to be.

This time is no exception.

Jeanne d'Arc, the Empress, lived an incredibly long life. This time, she descended upon the era of Reverse-Flash and relentlessly suppressed superpowered individuals, much to Reverse-Flash's annoyance.

After that, he hid in the flow of time, constantly collecting analysis data on the personality of Emperor Jeanne d'Arc from various eras, and only came over when he felt he was absolutely certain.

That push, and that embellished letter that diverted attention at a crucial moment, were both Reverse Flash's doing.

Superman, who was being relentlessly pursued by a group of Yellow Lantern Warriors, heard Sinestro's seductive voice and struggled to break free from the encirclement of dozens of Yellow Lantern Warriors around him.

Superman then immediately looked in Lee Jung's direction.

When Superman saw Li Zhen covered in blood and surrounded by a faint yellow light, he showed a look of regret and pain.

"Don't agree to his request!"

Superman shouted at Li Zhen, his voice filled with urgency and heartache.

"Break free from the ring's control! The power of fear will lead you down an irreversible path of error!"

Hearing Superman's shout, Li Zhen carefully put the letter away, slowly turned around, and looked past the Yellow Lantern warriors fighting fiercely in mid-air to the blue figure that was once again obscured by a group of Yellow Lanterns.

Li Zhen's mouth opened slightly.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Reverse Flash's heart skipped a beat, and the Reverse Speed ​​Force within him continuously slowed down the time that belonged to him.

Li Zhen's indifferent voice slowly drifted out.

"I wasn't controlled by the yellow light ring, and that's not a mistake."

Superman had just shaken off several Yellow Lantern Legion soldiers again when he heard this, and stared blankly at Li Zhen.

The yellow-light warriors, however, charged forward once more, covering the expressionless Superman layer by layer. The yellow light flashed continuously, suppressing the temporarily demoralized god of man and forcing him to fall.

Reverse Flash gritted his teeth, quickly lowered his head, and exuded a strange sense of panic.

This time, it seems the string of fate hasn't been plucked; perhaps that guy was destined to become a certain kind of person in the future.

The red lightning bolts of Reverse Speed ​​kept exploding, and Reverse Flash crouched slightly.

No one pays attention to him now; he can simply move his legs and disappear into other timelines at any time.

Li Zhen suddenly shrugged and raised the yellow light ring under Seneca's expectant gaze.

The energy of fear burst forth, cleansing his body of blood and filth.

"A speedster who wants to kill me is too dangerous. I couldn't have held back in that situation. No matter what the reason was, I need to ensure my safety first. I don't like killing indiscriminately."

"As for this ring, it would be quite nice to use it for bathing."

After making the most of the item, Li Zhen reached out and pinched the yellow light ring, then took it off directly.

Reverse Speed ​​Force surged through his body, and Reverse Flash, who was about to take a step, suddenly felt something was wrong.

These following words seem to be completely different from the historical records in his memory.

Reverse-Flash swiftly raised his right hand, rolling up the cuff of his suit to reveal a futuristic technological artifact shaped like a watch.

As the fluorescent lights illuminate, a line of history originating from a relative future is slowly erased from what should have been a fixed record of reality.

New text began to appear.

Reverse Flash's fingers slid rapidly across the watch face, his eyes fixed on the text, until garbled characters began to appear, at which point he finally lowered his arm with a sigh of relief.

But he didn't notice that not far behind him, Rachel, who had been sitting cross-legged on the bench with her eyes closed, suppressing the magic power within her, had slowly opened her eyes at some point.

The red light in the girl's eyes had gradually faded, leaving only a gaze devoid of any emotion, fixed on Reverse Lightning's wrist hidden in the sleeve of his battle suit.

Seneca watched as Li Zhen removed the lamp ring, a dark look creeping into his eyes.

"Wait, if you never intended to join the Yellow Lantern Legion, why did you summon us here?"

"I've said it before, when my life is threatened, I will do everything in my power to ensure my safety."

Li Zhen slowly and methodically placed the energy-rich lamp ring into a specially made black box. After blatantly keeping another lamp ring for herself, she looked up, spread her hands, and made a somewhat perfunctory apology.

"Strictly speaking, it was the yellow light rings you scattered everywhere that actively chose me. You gave them to me yourself, so why can't I use them in a critical moment?"

Seneca's forehead veins bulged slightly.

"You think this is child's play?"

The yellow pupils were filled with coldness and suppressed rage.

"The authority of the yellow light cannot be violated; the people of this world will suffer unwarranted disaster because of your unreasonable behavior."

Li Zhen's eyes seemed to have undergone some subtle change.

"You mean you want to spread the fear you preach on this planet?"

Seneca revealed a dangerous glint in his eyes, the yellow light illuminating his indifferent face.

"Don't worry, I promised someone I wouldn't easily attack Earth, and I always keep my promises. This is just a small punishment."
