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

Without making any dodging movement, he directly rammed his body into Peter's body, seemingly wanting to use extremely fast speed and impact to send Peter flying and then leave.

"Damn it, he didn't dodge!"

However, Barry soon discovered that the other party was not intimidated by his crazy behavior and chose to move aside, remaining in place and blocking his way.

However, Barry had no intention of stopping at this moment. He rushed straight towards Peter, but in the end, he was still a kind-hearted hero.

They cannot bring themselves to harm strangers.

As he approached Peter, he began to control his body, causing it to vibrate at an extremely rapid frequency.

It is the signature skill of many speedsters, the ability to vibrate themselves and pass through solid objects.

However, he soon made a shocking discovery.

Skills that were once invincible suddenly became useless at this moment.

He crashed hard into Peter's body.

It was as if he had crashed into a wall as hard as metal; he was thrown back with a "thud"!

Although the Flash's physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, he still suffered very serious injuries after crashing into an object as solid as a metal wall at such a high speed and being thrown back.

At least according to Barry's perception, many bones in his body have been fractured.

Even with his extremely fast self-healing speed, it would probably take him several hours to fully recover.

"Now, we should be able to have a proper talk!"

Peter, who had appeared before Barry at some unknown time, looked down at him and spoke slowly.

……

"Who exactly are you? Why are you so fixated on asking why this universe disappeared?"

At this moment, Barry finally accepted the reality that he could not leave without telling everything, and couldn't help but ask Peter with some curiosity.

"You can call me Peter Parker. As for why I'm so obsessed with the disappearance of this universe, it's because I'm looking for the culprit that caused it to disappear."

Peter smiled and slowly reached out his hand to Barry, who was lying on the ground.

"What? Mr. Parker, you're saying you're also looking for the guy who can make this universe disappear?"

Barry, accepting the status quo, didn't hesitate for long. He reached out and grabbed the hand Peter offered, then stood up with force.

Of course, the reason Barry had the strength to stand up at this moment was largely due to Peter secretly protecting his body with a biofield.

If things really went as expected, and Barry crashed into him at top speed, even with the Speed ​​Force protecting him, he would likely end up with a long period of disability.

They might end up like an ordinary person in a certain American TV series, hit by a hero named A-Train, ending up with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

It's absolutely impossible to stand up so easily.

"That's right, that's why I need you to tell me everything you know, including the whereabouts of the guy who caused this universe to disappear!"

After helping Barry up, the two seemed finally able to have a harmonious conversation.

"Are you sure you really want to know all this? If so, you may be forced to get involved in this massive crisis that could engulf the entire universe!"

Barry's expression kept changing, as if he was hesitating, but he eventually relaxed and asked Peter for confirmation one last time.

If he could, he wouldn't want to drag Peter, a complete stranger, into this crisis, even though Peter seemed to possess considerable strength.

"A crisis that will sweep across the universe? Heh, I may have forgotten to tell you that I have actually solved many crises that threaten the universe all by myself more than once."

Upon hearing Barry's words, Peter gave a nonchalant smile.

"Besides, if you tell me all this, and I'm in a good mood, I might even lend a hand to help you..."

"Alright, since you put it that way, I won't hide it anymore!"

"It all started with a dream I had a few days ago..."

……

"Just a few days ago, while I was fighting a super-powered criminal and running at an extremely fast speed, I suddenly entered a very strange space, like a dream!"

"There, I met a very strange guy who called himself the Watcher!"

As the Flash slowly recounted a particular experience he had previously had, a name that Peter found familiar came out of the Flash's mouth.

"Wait, you mean the Watcher? Are you sure?"

Peter's expression turned serious as he confirmed with Barry.

He naturally knew the name "Watcher".

Just as the Marvel Universe has observers who are constantly watching the development of the universe.

Within the DC Universe, there is also a monitor watching over the entire universe's operation.

Of course, there are still some differences between the two in essence.

While observers in the Marvel Universe may sometimes be "forced" to intervene in the natural development of the universe, they mostly refrain from interfering with the natural laws governing the development of individual universes.

Unlike the Watchers of the DC Universe, whose very existence was to maintain the balance of the universe.

Because in the universe, there exists something that is exactly the opposite of the monitor, called the anti-monitor.

The Antimonitors have always had one goal: to completely engulf all matter universes with their massive antimatter energy!

At that time, he will possess even greater power, completely defeat the Monitors, and become the ruler of the universe.

"That's right, he does call himself the cosmic watcher, and his duty is to manage and maintain the normal operation of the universe and monitor for crises that could destroy it."

"The reason I suddenly saw him that time was because he sensed a massive crisis that was about to destroy the entire universe. At that time, all existing universes would be swallowed up by an irresistible wave of massive antimatter energy!"

"The cause of this huge crisis is still unclear to me."

"All I heard the monitor say was that the other party was an extremely powerful being, possessing strength no less than his own!"

"And he also told me that the only way to save the universe is to go to other universes, find some heroes with great power, and fight this crisis together."

"And that is precisely why I am here now, and why I am hurrying to other universes to find companions!"

At this moment, Barry did not hesitate for long and told Peter everything he knew without any concealment.

"So, you don't actually know everything. It all comes from a special dream that seems like a prophecy, and it was told to you by that guy called the Watcher."

"Even you yourself don't know if everything that guy said is true or not?"

"Didn't you ever doubt whether the cosmic crisis he spoke of could actually happen?"

At that moment, Peter couldn't help but ask Barry a serious question.

"Of course, before this, I did have doubts about the truth of the matter."

"However, in my opinion, it's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't!"

"Before we can be sure whether that crisis will occur, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to inform the other cosmic heroes I know of this news!"

"If this crisis does occur, we are prepared and will be better able to resolve it."

"And the result is obvious. When I learned just now that a universe has really disappeared completely, I understood that all of this must be true!"

As he said this, Barry couldn't help but show a serious expression.

In fact, when the Flash first learned about this, he did have some doubts about whether what the so-called Monitor said was true.

However, he did not sit idly by because of his suspicions.

Instead, he planned to inform the heroes he knew in other universes in advance.

Unfortunately, even so, it seemed he was still too late.

Because, just now, a universe that originally existed has inexplicably and completely disappeared.

This situation also confirmed to Barry that the crisis that swept the universe must have been real.

"So, could that powerful dark energy be the antimatter energy controlled by the Anti-Monitor?"

"And was the sudden disappearance of this universe also because it was completely devoured by the Anti-Monitor to enhance its power against the positive matter universe?"

At this moment, Peter, having learned everything, fell into deep thought.

This situation felt somewhat familiar to him.

If he's not mistaken, this multiverse crisis originating from the Anti-Monitor seems to be DC's famous major event—Crisis on Infinite Earths!

"However, why do I always have this feeling that something's not quite right?"

……

Chapter 227 Recruiting New Companions—Supergirl

In Peter's memory, this situation should be just before the crisis on Infinite Earths was about to begin.

Crisis on Infinite Earths is a massive catastrophe in the DC Comics universe that involves the entire multiverse.

Superheroes from all universes will unite to face an unprecedented and powerful enemy: the Anti-Monitor.

He possesses immense power to manipulate antimatter energy and intends to use this vast amount of antimatter energy to devour all infinite universes and reduce the entire universe to nothingness.

The appearance of the monitors and counter-monitors at this moment foreshadows the imminent catastrophe that will engulf the universe.

This seems to coincide with the vision Peter had previously seen of countless dark energies enveloping the endless universe.

But at this moment, Peter felt that things might not be so simple.

Because he knew that the crisis on Infinite Earths was enormous, even sweeping across the entire DC multiverse.

However, it shouldn't be so vast as to break through the barriers of the DC omnipotent universe and appear in another universe.

This is different from what Peter knew about the possibility of a universe invaded by darkness and then invaded the Marvel Universe.

"Could it be that the real-world crisis on Infinite Earths is even more terrifying and massive than what I remember in the comics? Is the Anti-Monitor's plan to not only devour the entire DC Universe, but also the Marvel Universe next door?"

However, this single point of doubt was not enough for Peter to overturn everything.

That wasn't enough for him to discover the truth of the problem.

"In short, a crisis on Infinite Earths is imminent. If we want to find out the truth about this matter, we may need to investigate it during this crisis!"

Peter's gaze was fixed on Barry's expression, but his powerful perception and observation failed to detect any unnatural fluctuations in Barry's expression.

Barry's gaze was also very sincere; everything he had said before should be true, at least within the limits of what he knew.

“Mr. Peter Parker, now that I have told you everything, can you let me leave?”

After listening to his introduction, Barry watched as Peter fell into deep thought. After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but interrupt Peter's thoughts and asked cautiously but expectantly.

Barry had no choice but to hurry, as he knew that a crisis sweeping across the entire universe could strike at any moment, and he couldn't afford to waste too much time here.

"Of course you can... but in your current state, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the Speed ​​Force portal in a short time!"

Peter had obtained the clues he needed, so there was no need for him to continue restricting Barry.

However, Barry was still seriously injured from the collision.

Several bones in his body were fractured. If it weren't for his strong physique and fast self-healing ability, he would probably have difficulty even standing up right now.

Even so, it would be almost impossible for him to run as fast as before within a few hours.

"Damn it, I don't have much time left to waste!"

Clearly, it was only after Peter's reminder that Barry realized his current physical condition was no longer able to support his rapid running and the Speed ​​Force channel.

"What should I do..."

At this moment, Barry's expression was filled with anxiety.

"Perhaps I can help you!"

Just as Barry was feeling extremely anxious and didn't know what to do, Peter suddenly spoke up and said to him in a friendly manner.

"You... there's absolutely no need for you to get involved in this crisis!"

The moment Peter spoke, Barry's eyes lit up, as if he sensed a glimmer of hope.

However, in just a moment, his expression changed. He looked at Peter with a serious expression and then warned him that it was best not to get involved in this huge crisis.

"Actually, you don't need to say that. After all, if what you said is true, then the entire multiverse will be plunged into crisis and completely fall. What difference does it make whether I get involved in this crisis or not?"

"At the start of this crisis, whether we were prepared or not, we were already caught up in it; this is an inescapable fact."

Peter spoke with a grave expression, indicating that whether or not he was drawn into this crisis was not something he could control.
