Chapter 79 Johnny Quick and the Flash

"Captain Ice, let's stall for a little longer. Batman is coming."

As Barry the Flash dodged Johnny Quick's punch, he shouted towards Captain Ice, who was not far away. His voice was broken and intermittent due to the high-speed movement.

"Hmph, the Rogues don't need superheroes' help." Captain Frost scoffed, aiming his ice gun at the shrinking Atom, white ice crystals condensing at the muzzle. "Trickster, illusion!"

Upon hearing the command, the trickster Jesse immediately waved his hand, and a screen of illusionary light exploded in front of Atomic Girl, the distorted light causing a brief delay in her shrinking movements. At the same instant, Captain Frost pulled the trigger, and a chilling blue beam shot towards Atomic Girl.

"Drink!" Tar Pit, who was working with the crime syndicate, suddenly plunged his hands into the asphalt. Black asphalt surged from his palms like a living thing, quickly forming a thick wall that blocked Captain Frost's freezing beam. A layer of white frost quickly condensed on the asphalt surface.

Like a red lightning bolt, The Flash weaved through the chaotic streets. He stalked Johnny Quick, passing ordinary criminals who were drawn to the scene, giving them a gentle push as they passed, causing them to fall to the ground with precise precision, their wrists and ankles bound by thin ropes.

At the same time, he pulled several civilians who had been caught up in the fighting out from under the collapsed houses and took them to a safe intersection.

"Flash, how dare you be distracted while fighting me!" Johnny Quick's yellow afterimage suddenly accelerated, instantly appearing in front of the Flash. His body was enveloped in the yellow Speed ​​Force, and he kicked Barry in the side.

Barry's red Speed ​​Force collided with Johnny's yellow Speed ​​Force in mid-air, sending sparks flying. The cancellation of the two forces caused Barry's speed to drop abruptly, and Johnny Quick's fist slammed into Barry's face.

Barry was kicked and sent flying, crashing to the ground and rolling several times before slamming into an abandoned car. The door dented, and the siren blared.

Johnny Quick ran up behind Barry, leaned close, and said cruelly, "Flash, this is what happens when you underestimate me. Die!"

His heel shot up and stomped hard on Barry's neck. With a snap, Barry's neck broke. Barry's body twitched, then went limp, limbs relaxed, and he was lifeless.

But Johnny Quick's pupils suddenly contracted. Barry's body began to dim and become transparent, a remnant of time. He had departed before fighting himself, leaving behind only the remnants of the future that Barry had summoned.

"Damn it!" Johnny Quick turned around abruptly.

Barry was at the other end of the chaotic street, skillfully using ropes to tie together a group of ordinary super-powered criminals, with several civilians he had rescued nearby, still in shock.

When Johnny's gaze swept over, Barry gave an awkward smile.

"You—" Johnny said very politely.

Barry slammed his legs into the ground, the golden-red Speed ​​Force pulsating across his body, transforming him into a swirling golden-red storm that hurtled around Johnny Quick. Round and round it went, faster and faster, the Speed ​​Force storm carrying rubble and dust, trapping Johnny Quick at its center.

Johnny Quick's expression changed. He knew that if he were trapped in this Speed ​​Force storm, he could be exiled to any point in time at any moment, and even if he could return later, Superman wouldn't let him off the hook after the mission failed.

He gritted his teeth and ran in the opposite direction. The yellow Speed ​​Force and the gold-red Speed ​​Force began to merge and clash, the two beams of light swirling together, tearing the surrounding air with a sharp whistling sound. Barry and Johnny Quick's bodies wrestled together in the storm, the Speed ​​Force enveloping them and pulling them into the rift in time.

They appeared on a Jurassic grassland. Their speed was so great that the flames from their feet ignited the dry grass, turning the lush grassland into a desert behind them, and obscuring the clear sky with a swirling sandstorm. Barry punched Johnny Quick in the chin, and the two were pulled into the next timeline.

Ice Age. The slippery ice surface caused both of them to slip and fall simultaneously, splattering ice fragments everywhere. Barry, using his arms to prop himself up, punched Johnny Quick in the face. The yellow and red Speed ​​Forces collided once more, and the two continued their journey.

When the gang of scoundrels finally managed to snap out of the melee and look at the Flash, they found Barry sprawled on the ground, panting heavily, holding a hot dog he'd snatched from a roadside vendor's cart, his mouth stuffed full.

"How did you beat Johnny Quick? He was obviously faster than you." Captain Ice dodged the tar shells thrown by the tar pit and rolled to Barry's side.

Barry gulped down the hot dog and mumbled, "Don't forget, this is our Earth. I asked the Justice League from the past timeline for help."

He paused, took another bite of his hot dog, and mumbled, "Batman froze Johnny Quick's legs, and Wonder Woman knocked him out..."

"Forget it, I don't care how you defeated him. Now, let's take down Atomic Girl. She's shrunk; we can't see her at all!"

Captain Frost glared angrily at the empty streets around him, veins bulging on his forehead. Atomic Girl's silent, stealthy attack sent chills down everyone's spines.

"No!" Master Sam cried out in terror.

His gaze was fixed on Heatwave's direction. No one saw how Atomic Girl approached; they only saw Heatwave's head suddenly tilt to one side.

Then—his skull exploded from the inside, and an enlarged crowbar, stained with red and white liquid, emerged from the cranial cavity. Mick's body stiffened for a second, then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The Mirror Master's movements as he created the mirror space froze, and the color drained from his face instantly. A stray bullet flew in, shrapnel embedding itself deeply in his abdomen. He groaned, clutching his wound, and collapsed to his knees.

Captain Frost unleashed the full power of his ice gun, the icy breath pouring out like white smog, forming a semi-circular ice wall around him and the remaining members of the Rogue Gang. The ice thickened visibly, freezing everything in its path and temporarily preventing Atomic Girl from approaching.

"Flash, think of something quick!" Captain Ice shouted as he turned around.

Batman's fighter jet appears on the horizon.

Let's go back one minute.

After recovering from the fatigue of time travel, The Flash, Barry, quickly took over the body he was in while eating a hot dog. The golden-red Speed ​​Force pulsed across his skin, and arcs of electricity danced in his hair. His hands swung rapidly, his legs moved swiftly, and he transformed into a streak of red lightning, instantly appearing behind Heatwave Mick.

He shoved aside the heatwave that was radiating flames, causing the tiny Atomic Girl, who was clutching the heatwave's hair, to miss her. Then he slapped her, sending her flying. The Atomic Girl's body tumbled several times in the night air, emitting a muffled "uh."

"How did you defeat Johnny Quick? Obviously... um?" Captain Ice turned his head and frowned when he saw the Flash suddenly appear behind Heatwave.

Then he realized something: if it weren't for the Flash's push, Heatwave might have died.

Captain Ice hesitated for a moment before speaking, "The Flash, thank you. Otherwise, the Rogue Gang would have lost a member."

Barry waved his hand. "You're welcome. Just make sure you guys don't rob banks so often. People outside are saying our fight was like child's play." He grumbled about the Rogue Gang's behavior.

"Buzzing—"

In the sky, a jet-black bat fighter tore through the clouds and swooped down. Arcs of electricity lit up the sonic cannon on the nose of the aircraft, and a ring of sound waves shot out from the muzzle, spreading out at a specific frequency.

That's Batman's Atomic Oscillator, a weapon specifically designed to counter Atomic Girl's abilities. It can fire sound waves at a special frequency to disrupt her control over atoms.

Atomic Girl had just returned to her normal size and was preparing to shrink again to infiltrate the Rogues' defenses. The moment the sonic wave hit her, her body froze.

She clutched her head, her face flushed, veins throbbing in her temples, and let out a painful scream: "Batman! When did you find out my weakness?"

The canopy of the Batplane opened, and Batman leaned out, his left eyebrow slightly raised, and said, "Just as you joined the Justice League."

"You and Night Owl are both lunatics, you both deserve to die!" Atomic Girl roared in anguish, clutching her head with both hands, trying to forcefully activate her power.

Batman's fingers tapped rapidly on the control panel. The Batplane's belly hatch opened, and four black metal boxes pierced the ground, landing around Atom. Slender antennas rose from the tops of the boxes, and invisible electromagnetic waves spread outwards from the antennas.

That was an electromagnetic pulse matrix that Batman specially prepared for Atom and Atom, which could distort the flow of molecules within a certain range, making it impossible for Atom to pass through or deform at will.

Atomic Girl's powers completely failed. She knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

With Atom removed from the threat, the Rogues and the Flash quickly subdued the remaining criminals who had escaped from prison.

Those who resisted were brutally killed by the gang. Batman stood on the wing of the fighter jet, looking down at the corpses of the criminals lying in pools of blood, and frowned. The Flash also showed a hint of disapproval, but neither of them said anything. This was wartime, not the time to turn against allies.

Suddenly, a telepathic message rang in Batman's mind. It was Martian Manhunter's voice, high-pitched and urgent: "Batman, the prisoner has appeared. At the same time, the Death Matrix has also been killed by the enemy. He can indeed absorb superpowers. Also, Su Mo killed the Power Ring at Happy Harbor, and Firestorm and Wonder Woman defeated the Death Matrix."

Batman's finger paused in mid-air. He turned back to the cockpit and switched the fighter jet's main screen to the Happy Harbor surveillance feed. The screen froze on the scene from a few seconds earlier:

Su Mo's right fist pierced through the chest of the Divine Power Ring, and green energy leaked wildly from the wound; on the other side, Firestorm and Wonder Woman worked together to turn the Death Matrix into a mess.
