Failure

Interstellar Laboratory.

The water and electricity in many places have been shut down and stopped. The passageway is silent, and in the dark, cold steel environment, spiders have begun to spin webs in the corners.

Caitlin and Cisco came and tried to persuade him, but after seeing the dejected Barry, they left disappointed again. Barry, as portrayed by Ba Di, was still an alcoholic, with a stubble beard, a haggard face, and long hair that covered his once handsome face.

Ba Di lay sprawled on the control panel, surrounded by a jumble of fast food containers and blue beer bottles. The strong smell of alcohol and the musty odor lingering in the containers filled the air.

He casually grabbed a bottle of beer, lay down on the control panel, a smile playing on his Barry, and tilted his head back to gulp down half the bottle.

"Barry, teleportation is activated. Contact Group to assemble Flash."

Ba Di's eyes flashed, and he sent a message in the Contact Group.

In recent times, he has been constantly seeking a way to revive Iris in the Contact Group, showing a painful and desperate mood, befriending a group of Flash, and at the same time, under their persuasion, pretending to be in pain and despair, yet still holding a sliver of hope to revive his wife, while he has been lurking in this group of Flash, investigating the mastermind behind it all.

He desperately wanted to know who was targeting him.

"Perhaps the higher powers have a way to resurrect your lover. Magic, Spirit of Existence, dimensional structures—all can resurrect your wife."

"Please don't give up, Flash."

"Thanks."

Ba Di threw the beer bottle in his hand, smashing it against the wall with a 'bang,' the beer and glass shattering and sliding down the cold steel wall. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, he straightened his back, and turned to look at the Flash suit hanging there.

After lying in wait for so long, we can finally see the person behind the scenes.

"This teleportation gathering is headed to the center of the multiverse, on Hero Star. It is said that it is to help a universe that is about to be Destruction to transfer life."

"This is the first time I've ever seen so many versions of myself!"

"I saw Reverse-Flash... I really want to punch him."

Have you come in?

"A money-powered individual, Bruce Flash is completely bathed in gold, so dazzling!! It's practically spitting blood!! Is his suit made of gold and diamonds?"

"Wow, so many Flash."

In the Flash Contact Group, many people applied to enter the depths of the multiverse, met their counterparts, and exclaimed in amazement.

With a raised eyebrow, Ba Di turned around, flashing yellow arcs of electricity, and swiftly donned the Flash.

He rubbed his stubble, thought for a moment, then transformed his hand into a high-frequency razor and shaved off all the stubble. As for his already disheveled chin and slightly messy hair, he ignored it, revealing his wretched appearance, perfectly reflecting the Flash's grief over the loss of his wife.

After preparing everything, he clicked the newly appeared "Request Time Travel Assistance" button in the Flash Contact Group.

[Your application has been approved. Thank you for your help to life in the universe.]

Ba Di chuckled softly.

Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared in front of him, like a vertical eye on his forehead. It opened abruptly, revealing complete darkness inside. He could neither see the other side nor sense the environment on the other side.

Without a doubt, Ba Di stepped into the Space-Time Rift.

The passage, which spanned countless rifts and overlapped across the universe, instantly brought Ba Di to his destination.

Suddenly, the blazing sunlight cast a halo of light.

When Ba Di regained his sight from the darkness, he discovered that he had lost contact with the Speed Force of his original universe. In that TV series universe, he became the God of Speed. After stepping into the Space-Time Rift, he could only use the Speed Force within his body, and had no source left.

"Hmm? This... doesn't seem like the place where the Flash gathers!"

Ba Di looked on in surprise, his eyes gazing into the distance.

The land was barren, sandstorms raged in the distance, and the blazing sun cast a halo of light, its rays piercing his exposed chin like needles.

Ba Di squinted his eyes, which were haloed by the blazing sun, and looked down at the vast expanse beneath his feet. There, he saw powerful magic arrays composed of various metals from the universe, and cold-colored magical artifacts gleaming. In some places, based on Ba Di's knowledge of magic throughout the universe, there were more than a hundred powerful spells that combined to seal away the soul and consciousness.

"It's over, Ba Miu Luo Di!"

A tremendous sound descended from the sky.

Four tall figures descended vertically in four directions, landing precisely at the activation point of the sealing magic array.

Ba Di chuckled and looked at Spectre. Spectre's dark green and gray misty figure easily matched Ba Di's memories, confirming that this was Spectre.

He then turned to look at the Golden Superman. The Golden Superman's yin-yang symbol on his chest and his entire body being gold made him very easy to recognize.

The Phantom Stranger, dressed in a dark blue British suit and wearing a bowler hat, was also recognized by Ba Di at a glance.

And Mandrakk, whose smooth blue-white armor was created using technology from the Monitor Race.

Within the Contact Group, the magic he had detected, the technology of the Monitor Race, and the technology of intertwining dimensional spacetime and the multiverse all seemed to be gathered together.

Ba Di's eyes flickered; he truly hadn't expected that his whereabouts had already been figured out.

Whether he replaces or becomes the Flash, there's no reason for anyone to track his whereabouts. It's just that Ba Di's power, based on the Only God, has increased too quickly, too abnormally, and too conspicuously, which is why it was noticed.

Ba Di's gaze swept over the four of them, and he said calmly, "It seems I've fallen into their trap. I didn't expect you to be able to find the people I've brought here."

The Spectre activated the magic circle, and a ghostly blue light rose from the ground like a circuit. The light seemed to have a consciousness, controlled by the Spectre, and like ghostly blue snakes, it surrounded Ba Di's body.

"It's over, Ba Miu Luo Di!"

The Spectre gray mist's illusory body was chaotic, and its eyes, burning like torches beneath its cloak and hood, stared at Ba Di.

"Sleep now. Next, I will send your body to the Source Wall, the prison of the Only God, and your final resting place."

Ba Di nodded. "So that's what you were thinking."

He sealed his consciousness and stuck his body to the Source Wall, completely sealing himself away.

"I understand. This Flash body is no match for you, so I won't resist."

Ba Di suddenly smiled, his hands outstretched as if by a saint, allowing all the magic to be cast upon his body without resistance.

A sense of foreboding suddenly flashed through the Spectre's mind.

In just a few seconds, the Flash's entire body had turned into particles of light and dissipated completely, disappearing from the spot.

Spectre, Golden Superman, Phantom Stranger all suddenly changed their expressions.

"He has no soul!"

"Consciousness still exists within his physical body."

"Quantum Batman is right, he is not the other Only God."

"We failed! And he found out."

"In that case, let's move on to the next plan."
