"It was because of me that their homes were destroyed. I never intended to bring disaster to others. I... I... I can only do more in the future, do my best to make amends and protect them!"

The Flash shivered in the cold wind, his face still showing grief, his fists clenched so tightly that his fingertips dug into his palms, and blood trickled down his face.

Every time he saw people suffering because of him, he felt very uncomfortable and saddened.

He cannot ignore those who need help.

"Then why don't you kneel down!"

"Ba Di suddenly said."

He had already ordered him to submit and kneel down before he could crush the New Guinea Island.

But he didn't! If he were truly so kind and compassionate, why didn't he kneel down?

"Kneel down and submit, and millions of lives can be saved."

"You're not really that kind, Flash!"

"You are simply following your inner heroic Desire, following your inner desire to save others, and gaining that sense of pleasure from compassion for the suffering of the world."

"Saving lives can bring joy to your heart amidst bitterness."

Ba Di's tone was slow yet intensely provocative, much like Ba Di himself; he found pleasure and inner joy in the faith and Delirium gazes of others.

Enjoying all the faith from a high position, his Delirium eyes also pleased Ba Di.

The Flash, too, follows his heart's desire.

Ba Di's words pierced the Flash's heart, causing his body to tremble involuntarily, his pupils to dilate in fear, and his body, without legs, instinctively wanting to curl up into a ball, filled with fear and a desire to escape the outside world.

"No... I... I... just..."

"Don't tell me you just didn't expect me to be so cruel! You didn't expect I would actually dare to destroy tens of millions of lives!"

"No...!!!"

The Flash, curled up in Ba Di's arms, clutched his own body tightly. He was lost, filled with regret and remorse. Tears welled in his eyes and were blown away by the cold wind and torn apart by the air currents.

In the end, things came to a conclusion.

Nothing has changed.

If I had knelt down and surrendered back then, tens of millions of people would not have died, New Guinea Island would not have been destroyed by Ba Miu Luo Di, the tsunami would not have occurred, and Australia would not have been caught in the predicament of receiving more than 4 million refugees, leading to the demise of the country.

All of this could have been avoided with just one act of kneeling and submission.

However.

Ultimately, The Flash chose to continue fighting against Ba Di.

Such resistance is undoubtedly commendable, because once you succumb to evil and set a precedent, there will always be another succumb, an endless surrender to darkness.

Just as superheroes don't kill, The Flash doesn't kill, because killing would mean losing the principles he has always upheld.

The wind howled and the trench coat fluttered in the cold air.

Ba Di gripped the Flash's neck, his eyes fixed mercilessly on the back of his head. The Flash was curled up in pain in his hand.

"Actually, you don't need to condemn yourself for causing all these evil deeds."

"It's me."

Behind the Flash, Ba Di grinned. Sunlight streamed across his smile, which was unusually bright yet eerie. The eeriness lay in the fact that his eyes held no smile, only a cold, ruthless intensity.

At this moment, he was like a giant Devil God in the shadows, grinning and revealing his white teeth behind the Flash, concealing endless conspiracies and shrouding the Flash.

If it weren't to make the Flash feel even more guilty, Ba Di wouldn't have said so much nonsense.

Within Hera's database of records, there is a record of Ba Di constantly deducing and calculating the psychology of everyone around Hera, and continuously updating it based on the people he sees, including their behavioral and psychological patterns. He understands everyone to the extreme and uses it to the fullest extent.

When needed, it will naturally be used to its fullest potential.

Sure enough, the Flash did not feel relaxed because of Ba Di's words. Instead, his nails dug into the flesh of his arm, drawing painful blood. He gritted his teeth, his tense muscles trembling uncontrollably, filled with fear, apprehension, regret, and pain.

The smile on Ba Di's face almost reached his ears, forming a huge, sinister grin. A cold glint flickered in his eyes.

Time travel! He had no intention of using time travel to plan his conquest, because that would be meaningless and would only lead to more chaos and too many changes in time, and might even cause him to lose all his previous efforts.

The Flash's only usefulness lies with Ba Di; there are still people who deeply love him and are painfully waiting for him to save them.

It is about traveling through time to save that enormous, monstrous figure, swaying in agony amidst the flames of the night.

It was the figure that couldn't bear the immense pain and ultimately self-destructed.

He needs to redeem us!

Millions of people are no match for one person who deeply loves them! Ba Di chose the one who deeply loved him.

So... The Flash!

They must be put to my use! "I possess money, power, status, and am the uncrowned king of ten developed countries, the king of the ' Ba Miu Luo Di ' country."

"I have food, an army, and can save Australia, can save more than four million refugees, and can provide food, land, and aid to save all those around the Atlantic Ocean who have been harmed by the tsunami."

"I just... need you to accompany me through time, back to the past, and to save one person!"

"Ba Di said, his tone softening for the first time, no longer cold or aggressive," he said.

The Flash has ordinary people he wants to save, Ba Di also has people he wants to save.

If we don't cooperate.

Then watch tens of millions of people die!

I promise you.

Without hesitation, the Flash answered quickly, his fingers digging even deeper into the flesh of his arm, and a glimmer of light rose in his suddenly dark pupils.

Anyone will hold on tightly to even the slightest hope.

Not to mention that they were already deeply mired in self-blame and despair, and were being led into their hearts by Ba Di to condemn themselves.

"OK, thanks."

A smile appeared on Ba Di's lips. In his heart, he relaxed a little bit of the coldness and tension, and breathed a sigh of relief. This time, his smile was without any coldness or evil. It was purely radiant under the sunlight, making him feel extremely comfortable.

His expression softened as he looked at the ailing Flash.

"Subconsciously," he said.

Do you know the difference between you and me?

"When you arrest criminals, and you believe that you are not qualified to take a person's life, not to put them to death, and to leave them to the judgment of the law."

"And I... am the one who created laws to bring them to their deaths!"
