All the heavens, starting as the ruler of the universe

"Is he me too?" Barry asked, watching Reverse Flash leave.

"To be precise, it's you." Lin Yan looked at Barry, number two.

"Me?" Number Two, Barry, pointed to himself. "Will I look like this when I'm old?"

Number Two, Barry, was stunned.

He looked down at his hands; the blue lightning was still dancing on his fingertips, faint but warm.

He couldn't imagine that these hands would one day become withered, stained with the grime of time, and kill countless people.

"Is everything you're saying true?" His voice trembled slightly. "Would I really become like that?"

"That's just one possibility," Lin Yan finally spoke. "He comes from a timeline where you've lost everything. You lost this battle, your family is gone, your friends are gone, all you have left is to run, to keep running."

Number Two, Barry, remained silent.

He recalled Reverse Flash's scarlet eyes, which held no madness, only weariness—the weariness of running for too long, too long, until even hatred had been forgotten.

"I will not become like him," he said, his voice soft but firm.

Lin Yan stood aside, watching the two Flashes without saying a word.

His gaze fell on the direction where Reverse Flash had disappeared. There was nothing there anymore, but he knew that Reverse Flash, which had run countless times, could finally stop.

The reverse flash stopped at the place he had always wanted to go but hadn't been to all these years—his home.

The door to the room was open.

Inside, his father was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, and his mother was cooking in the kitchen.

Reverse Flash stood at the door, watching this scene, and his eyes suddenly reddened.

For decades, he has traveled through countless times, killed countless people, and destroyed countless worlds.

He thought that as long as he ran fast enough, he could go back to the past and change everything, but every time, he failed.

Each time, he is the monster hiding in the cracks of time.

But this time it's different; he doesn't need to run anymore.

Reverse Flash leaned against the door frame, looked at his parents who were safe and sound, and suddenly smiled.

"Dad, Mom," he said softly.

No one heard it.

His body began to fade, like a wisp of smoke, like a sigh.

The black grime peeled off his body, turned to ash, and dissipated in the sunlight.

The instant Reverse Flash disappeared, Barry Number Two seemed to sense something and looked towards the direction of his home.

"It's all over," Barry muttered to himself.

"It's only temporarily over." Batman didn't say much more. As a retired Batman who had already killed all the criminals in Arkham, he saw things more clearly.

"But for you, it is indeed over. You should go back to your own world. The longer you stay in this world, the more serious the consequences will be."

Barry looked at him, nodded, and extended his hand: "Take care."

"Wait a minute, Barry, interested in making a deal?" Lin Yan took out a rabbit talisman.

"This is a talisman that can enhance your speed in the Speed ​​Force state, allowing you to run even faster than you are now."

"So what's the price?" Barry's eyes were glued to the talisman; its allure was too great for him.

"Just give me a little of your Speed ​​Force." Lin Yan tossed the talisman to Barry.

Barry caught the talisman and examined it from all angles.

The rabbit talisman emitted a pale golden light in his palm; the carved rabbit was so lifelike that it seemed ready to jump out at any moment.

"This...can it really make me faster?" His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"You'll know once you try," Lin Yan said.

Barry gripped the talisman and closed his eyes.

Golden light seeped from between his fingers, flowing like water around his wrists, arms, and shoulders, finally disappearing into his body.

His breathing became rapid, his heart was racing, and every cell in his body seemed to be cheering. It felt like being struck by lightning for the first time, as if the whole world had slowed down before him.

He opened his eyes, and a flash of golden lightning streaked across his pupils.

"Oh my god..." He looked down at his hands; the golden currents were brighter and more vibrant than before. "This feeling... is amazing..."

He raised his head and looked at the distant horizon. The next second, he disappeared from the spot.

Golden lightning streaked across the battlefield in an arc, from east to west and from south to north, so fast that it left no afterimage.

He ran straight to Metropolis and the Pacific, saw the wreckage of the World Engine, circled back to the battlefield, stopped in front of everyone with his hair standing on end and a silly grin on his face.

"It's so fast! Much faster than before!" He exclaimed excitedly, like a child. "This talisman is amazing!"

Number Two, Barry, watched this scene and fell silent. He didn't even know when Barry had returned.

Barry ran back and stood in front of Lin Yan, his smile still lingering: "This talisman is amazing! How can I give you the Speed ​​Force? What do you need me to do?"

Lin Yan looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips. "It's simple. You run back the way you came. When you travel through time, you'll leave a trace. I just need to take something from that trace."

Barry was taken aback. "It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Barry nodded and took a deep breath.

He took one last look at Kara, then at Barry Number Two, and finally at the world he had spent several days in.

"Take care," he said.

"Take care." Kara said goodbye to Batman and Barry the Second.

Barry turned around, and the golden lightning on his body began to leap, growing brighter and faster. His body began to blur, like an arrow about to be shot.

"Wait a minute," Lin Yan suddenly said.

Barry stopped and turned to look at him.

Lin Yan reached out and tapped Barry's forehead with his fingertip. "Run faster. Let me see clearly."

Barry paused for a second, then laughed. "Don't worry, I run very fast."

He turned around, exerted force with his legs, and golden lightning exploded from his body, illuminating the entire battlefield.

He shot out like an arrow, faster and farther, until he became a golden light that tore through the sky.

A crack appeared in the sky, revealing a chaotic void, a distorted timeline, and the shadows of countless worlds within it.

Barry's figure grew smaller and smaller, farther and farther away, through the gap, like a star falling into the deep sea.

Lin Yan stood on the ground and raised his hand.

His fingers probed into the crevice and gently grasped. A wisp of golden lightning was drawn from the void, leaping and struggling in his palm like a snake that refused to submit.

Lin Yan looked down at the bolt of lightning, his consciousness sinking into it.

Then he saw countless worlds.

There's a world where Krypton hasn't been destroyed, a world where Kara and Clark save the Earth together, and a world where Superman is sent to a world without a sun.
