Central City.

At night, in the dazzling Central City, a yellow lightning bolt streaked across the sky, leaving a long arc of light as it raced across First Avenue, overtaking the busy traffic lanes and whipping up a gust of wind that whipped hair, heading towards the Interstellar Laboratory.

A yellow Flashpoint appeared in the lobby of the Interstellar Laboratory in an instant. A sudden gust of wind blew the hair of everyone present, and the papers flew up with a whoosh.

"Everyone, the Alchemist has escaped. Luckily, I managed to steal his Magic Stone."

The Flash held up a stone box, which seemed to possess a unique allure, drawing the attention of everyone in the control room lobby.

"That's good. At least we can stop more Transformers from appearing in Midtown," said Barry's adoptive father, Joe.

"This is not good. The root of the problem hasn't been solved yet. Or does he have a second Magic Stone? Or does he have another method? So, I'll examine this myself." Cisco reached out, took the stone box, frowned slightly, and paused for a moment.

Faintly, a voice seemed to be swirling in his ears, as if his brother was calling him.

In the Flash TV series, at the end of the second season, after Barry ran out of Flashpoint and back into the world, he indirectly caused the death of Cisco, which Cisco has always held a grudge about.

"So far, things are looking up. We've managed to turn the tide in our battle against the Alchemist," Caitlin said.

"Not necessarily. The Alchemist has been summoning his master, and that's someone we need to be wary of," the Flash, pulling down his hood with a slightly worried expression.

"So? How should we defend ourselves?" Iris asked.

The group looked at each other, completely bewildered. They didn't even know what the being the Alchemist had been trying to summon was, and they had no good ideas on how to defend against it.

Instead of following the plot of the TV series and having Savitar appear, Ba Di moved forward, omitting many unnecessary scenes. Just before the story began, he controlled the Alchemist to awaken Flashpoint Metahuman in Midtown, attracting the Flash's attention. After much effort, they easily obtained the Magic Stone under Ba Di's arrangement.

Ultimately, the Magic Stone, or Calcified Speed Force, is needed as a key. Only by throwing it into the Speed Force can one release oneself.

In the original series, Wally threw him in, but now, it's Ba Di who arranges for the Flash to throw him in so he can get out.

If things were to follow the interpersonal relationships depicted in the TV series, Ba Di would undoubtedly be able to easily fulfill his last wish.

However.

'thump'

The sound of a cane striking the ground echoed throughout the Interstellar Laboratory. Everyone in the control room turned to look at the doorway. A man dressed in a blue suit, wearing a half-cloak, a bowler hat, and carrying a black classic cane, appeared in the doorway, arousing their surprise and suspicion.

"Who are you?"

"How did you get in? Fuck! I've reinforced the security system several times!"

"Why is the Interstellar Laboratory constantly being hacked!"

Instantly, everyone in the control room looked at Cisco and the Phantom Stranger with strange expressions.

Joe drew his pistol from his waist, pulled his daughter behind him with one hand, and stared at the Phantom Stranger with a stern expression.

Cisco and Caitlin looked on with bewilderment. The Interstellar Laboratory ' defense system seemed to be made of paper... It had been constantly hacked and had never been defended against!

The Phantom Stranger glanced at the Flash, Cisco, and Caitlin, then promptly removed his hat, startling everyone who thought he was about to attack.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I didn't expect that the Flash in this universe would team up with Vibe and Killer Frost." Phantom Stranger lowered his hat to his stomach, bowed, and said apologetically.

The Flash and Caitlin, along with Cisco, exchanged a strange look and asked doubtfully, "You... don't seem like the type to cause us trouble. Is there anything we can do to help you?"

The Phantom Stranger's outward appearance certainly didn't seem like he was there to cause trouble; he was also polite and well-mannered, making him very pleasant to be around.

Of course, apart from the fact that they were not informed and the Interstellar Laboratory was directly invaded, everything else was fine.

The Phantom Stranger nodded. "I do have something I need your help with."

The Flash and his crew exchanged bewildered glances.

You're really not being polite...

"This universe has not yet been invaded. I need your help. The multiverse needs your help. Let's gather all our power to fight against a newly born, Only God."

"This is about saving the multiverse, and it's about saving yourselves."

"This is a very important matter," said the Phantom Stranger, his voice calm and measured, conveying a sense of gravity.

The Interstellar Laboratory seemed to sense the extreme seriousness of the situation. The immense pressure brought by the Phantom Stranger was like a mountain, making them feel breathless.

However, in reality, the people in the Interstellar Laboratory did not have a very clear understanding of what the Phantom Stranger was saying.

Suddenly someone appears and asks you to save the universe. What does this have to do with anything?

The group immediately frowned, confused, and refused.

"I'm sorry, I don't know the truth of the matter. I'd be happy to help you if you're having any difficulties."

"We're also fighting the enemy here..."

The Flash didn't immediately offer to help the Phantom Stranger; he approached this sudden request for help with caution.

In the second season, he was deceived and his father died because he trusted outsiders from another world. Now, he has learned his lesson and can no longer easily trust others.

"I understand, then..."

The Phantom Stranger nodded, giving the Flash an unfathomable look. Then, he raised his cane and cast a spell, sending a finger-sized point of light straight into the Flash's forehead.

This sight terrified the Flash, who used his Speed Force, crackling with electricity as he tried to escape. However, the point of light was too fast, and in the next instant, it had already entered his head from his forehead.

"This is a multiverse communication room that will connect you with Flash from other multiverses. Here you can enhance your abilities, communicate with other Flash, and learn who your future enemies are."

The entire Flash Team in the control room was startled, staring in shock at the Phantom Stranger.

The Phantom Stranger smiled faintly, his eyes sweeping over the Flash and his companions before landing on the Magic Stone box, and said.

"Here's some advice for you. The key inside this Magic Stone box contains Calcified Speed Force. Unless you open the Speed Force channel, this key shouldn't be able to release the enemy you're talking about."

His figure gradually faded, became transparent, and disappeared into the Interstellar Laboratory.
