Marvel: Spider-Man? No, I'm Superman!

Even if they were to tragically sacrifice themselves in the process, they would have no regrets.

However, he was equally saddened and grieved by their sacrifice.

They also understood the situation of the remaining people.

Aside from watching helplessly as Earth was swallowed up by that eerie dark energy, all they had to do was take a gamble and devise a plan at any cost to save their world.

"Alright, I now understand your situation and the whole plan."

The Flash stared intently at the giant cosmic treadmill, seemingly deep in thought.

"Barry, in order to complete our plan, we have no choice but to abduct you from another universe!"

"However, this does not mean we will force you to help us complete this project, the success of which is uncertain."

"We just want an opportunity."

"A chance to complete the plan and save this place!"

"In fact, we cannot deny that this approach is somewhat selfish and carries a connotation of moral blackmail!"

"And you, you don't need to worry about these things. Just follow your heart and decide whether or not to help us complete this plan!"

"If you refuse, you are free to return to your own universe and forget everything that happened before. We will not stop you from leaving."

Superman looked at the Flash, who was deep in thought, and spoke slowly with a firm expression.

Then, he even had Cyborg open a spatial portal leading to the universe where The Flash once lived.

The others did not stop it, because it was a decision they had made before they went to another universe.

They can abandon their moral bottom line and be selfish for the sake of their own universe.

However, you cannot force anyone to make a choice they do not want to make.

Moreover, it's uncertain whether the plan itself will succeed.

If they fail, the situation could become even worse, and they could all perish because of the failure of the plan.

Therefore, they decided to leave all the choices to The Flash himself.

If their universe is lucky enough, then The Flash will stay and help them complete their plan.

If they are unfortunate, then there is no need to continue.

……

Without a doubt, this is a pivotal moment that will determine the fate of all of them.

Everyone present stared intently at The Flash, awaiting his final decision.

Although they had expressionless faces, they didn't want to put too much pressure on The Flash.

However, their inner feelings were completely opposite to their calm expressions; they were extremely nervous.

After all, the Flash's choice determines the fate of them and the entire Earth.

Time passed second by second.

The Flash was still deep in thought and did not make a decision quickly.

For everyone, every second at this moment felt like an eternity.

The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

No one spoke, interrupting the Flash's thoughts and choices.

Only a portal, flashing with blue light, occasionally hummed, seemingly reminding The Flash that he could choose to return to his own universe at any time.

"I'm sorry, but I reject your plan!"

Suddenly, the silence was broken by a voice. As the Flash spoke, everyone tried their best to hide their disappointment.

"I'm sorry, Barry, we've caused you unnecessary trouble. You can now return to your universe..."

Superman remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about the Flash's refusal, and pointed to the portal ahead, apologizing to the Flash.

"You may have misunderstood. I only rejected the plan you had made!"

However, the Flash did not walk directly into the portal, but turned to look at everyone and said slowly.

"Actually, I think I have a better plan than yours!"

……

Chapter 215 The Darkness That Time Cannot Eradicate

"what?"

Originally, everyone thought they would be met with a regretful rejection.

Unexpectedly, the outcome seems to have taken a turn for the better at this moment.

"Your plan is too risky, and the consequences of failure are too severe."

The Flash stared at the enormous cosmic treadmill before him, his expression serious.

The Cosmic Treadmill project is practically a gamble with the entire world on whether this all-or-nothing plan can succeed.

If it really comes to the final moment of the universe's destruction, perhaps the Flash would choose such a plan.

Clearly, he may now have a better option.

"If time could be reversed, I believe it could rewrite everything!"

As the host of the Speed ​​Force, Barry was well aware of the price he would pay for using the Speed ​​Force to reverse time.

The world after the reversal will undergo unpredictable changes.

And in the world that followed, only he himself remembered everything that happened on the original timeline.

The timeline is like a calm lake; if a ripple is stirred in it, a host of effects will inevitably occur.

Besides the fact that some things will be rewritten and undergo unpredictable changes, you may even face a new crisis after you have resolved one.

However, even with so much uncertainty surrounding modifying the timeline.

But it's still much better than their current desperate plan.

Moreover, the Flash himself once reversed time to save his own universe.

Overall, I've gained some experience.

Now, the Flash has a scale in his heart, and he feels that the price to pay for reversing time is perhaps much better than a desperate, all-or-nothing plan.

"Is it really possible to use the power of time to make up for and correct everything that happened before?"

Upon hearing the Flash's idea, everyone fell into deep thought.

They had never personally experienced a plan to reverse time, so it was difficult for them to understand the difficulties involved.

However, time is one of the important dimensions that constitute the universe, and it is probably not so easy to modify.

"Reverse time, use the Speed ​​Force, and run at faster-than-light speed to reshape this world?"

Cyborg slowly explained the theory of reversing time using the Speed ​​Force.

"That's right. When I push the Speed ​​Force to its limit, until I surpass the speed of light, I will gather a unique Speed ​​Force energy field and then freely travel through the past and future of the universe."

The Flash looked at Cyborg with some surprise, wondering how he knew about the Speed ​​Force's theory of time manipulation.

"This is what Barry told me before our universe."

"However, Barry also once said that the timeline is sacred and inviolable. If you play with time at will, time will eventually play with you!"

It's clear that Cyborg doesn't entirely agree with the Flash's proposed change to the timeline.

He might sense that changing the time would come at some special cost.

"That's right, reversing time would indeed cause some unpredictable changes to the universe, but at least we would have one more chance, one more choice!"

"Even if the plan to reverse time fails, I can return here and continue to help you complete the plan to activate the Speed ​​Force Cannon with the cosmic treadmill!"

The Flash sensed the skeptical looks from the crowd, but he didn't back down and continued to explain his ideas.

Indeed, in the Flash's view, reversing time is like dancing on a tightrope; one wrong move could have unpredictable consequences.

However, if he is cautious enough, even if reversing time cannot truly resolve this crisis, he still has the opportunity to return here and try this desperate plan again.

And they will have another choice.

At this moment, the scene fell silent as everyone pondered the pros and cons of reversing time.

"Barry, are you really sure?"

Finally, Superman's magnetic voice broke the silence.

Judging from his attitude, he seems to have great faith in The Flash, even though the Flash was forcibly brought from another universe by kidnapping.

"I'm sorry, to be honest, I'm not very confident I'll succeed!"

Faced with the expectant gazes of Superman and the others, the Flash did not give them much hope.

Even for him, the experience of successfully reversing time was only once.

However, the time that has passed since then is still very short. Who knows if the last time-reversal plan, although it temporarily saved his universe, will bring new crises to the universe?

"In that case, Barry...I believe you!"

Faced with Barry's sincerity, Superman's solemn expression gradually relaxed, and he nodded firmly to the Flash.

"Clark..."

Cyborg next to him seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Superman's gaze.

In the end, he didn't say it.

Because Cyborg understood Superman's eyes, which meant that they had no choice in this matter.

The fact that The Flash stayed to help them resolve the crisis is already a huge blessing.

Why would they want more?

……

Soon after, a new treadmill was moved into the laboratory.

It is not as large as a cosmic treadmill, nor does it possess the special ability to gather the energy of the Speed ​​Force.

This new treadmill is just enough to make The Flash run at a sufficient speed.

Soon, The Flash had made all the necessary preparations to reverse time.

He ate a lot of high-calorie food to meet his physical needs for running fast.

I also checked my suit to make sure there wouldn't be any unexpected incidents along the way.

They even did warm-up exercises before starting to ensure they were in top condition.

In the very beginning, he communicated with the Speed ​​Force through meditation to ensure that the Speed ​​Force would not become an obstacle to reversing time.

Once everything was ready, Barry donned the specially made Flash suit.

He walked slowly onto the steel-framed treadmill, looking like a hero going against the flow of people.

"Barry, whatever the outcome, take care of yourself!"

Although he didn't know if reversing time would be dangerous, Cyborg still gave Barry his instructions.

“That’s right, Barry. If you find things are beyond saving, you are free to leave our universe and return to your original universe at any time!”

Before we began, Superman solemnly addressed the Flash.

Cyborg had already given him the coordinates of the Flash's original universe, ensuring that he could open a cosmic portal anytime and return to his own safe universe.

"Don't worry, although I can't guarantee that I will succeed, I will definitely do my best to accomplish this!"

The Flash has undoubtedly let go of the fact that he was forcibly kidnapped to this universe.

He chose the courage and fearlessness that a hero who protects the universe should possess.

Even if what he saved was not the universe he himself lived in.

For heroes, it's not important who they save; what matters is how they choose to act and what they do.

With a determined look in his eyes, the Flash slowly nodded to the expectant crowd.
