Cold

The Speed Force on Lu Mingyu's body was affecting Reverse-Flash and the Time Wraith. Because this was a different world, the Speed Force had changed as well. The Time Wraith did not understand this world's time or its laws, so it failed to notice Reverse-Flash standing before it for the moment.

Yes, because of the difference between worlds, Reverse-Flash had gone unnoticed by the Time Wraith.

Tony looked at the Time Wraith that had just passed through his body and nearly broke down. Why had so many things happened these past few days? First Quicksilver's resurrection, then Quicksilver's corruption, followed by a sudden surge of speedsters—and now there was even something like a ghost!

Tony could hardly take it. At least, he could not accept so many things happening in such a short time.

Doctor Strange watched the Time Wraith, not knowing what it was. Seeing Lu Mingyu's plea for help, he could only stand by helplessly, because he knew this was not something from the world of magic. It might even devour magic. Doctor Strange did not know why he thought that, but at this moment, he did not dare use magic. He feared the Time Wraith would use magic to strengthen itself.

The weapon systems on Tony's suit activated, and lasers struck the Time Wraith. Then something strange happened: the lasers passed straight through the Time Wraith's body. It was as if they could not touch it at all.

The Time Wraith sensed the lasers. It looked at Tony, let out a howl, and charged toward him.

That's not scientific! Both Reverse-Flash and Lu Mingyu had the same thought. Without another word, Lu Mingyu entered his speed state. The Speed Force coursed through his entire body, and blue lightning erupted around him. He quickly caught up to the Time Wraith, his hand protected by blue lightning as he fiercely grabbed it!

Yes, Lu Mingyu could grab this Time Wraith. Taking advantage of that opening, he called to Reverse-Flash. He could not deal with this terrifying Time Wraith alone. Red lightning suddenly appeared, but it did not belong to Reverse-Flash. It came from the Time Wraith.

A blur of incredible speed flashed past Lu Mingyu's eyes. He was stunned, not knowing how to deal with it.

"Freeze it. Cold is their weakness." Reverse-Flash's red lightning followed shortly afterward, though it was clearly not as fast as the Time Wraith. Evidently, the Time Wraith was simply a speedster's nightmare. The Speed Force was constantly being absorbed by the Time Wraith—at least, Lu Mingyu could feel it.

The Speed Force on his body was being absorbed, then transferred onto the Time Wraith. The Time Wraith's power continued to grow, and its red lightning seemed almost solid.

Lu Mingyu knew the Speed Force on his body was special, but why could the Time Wraith before him absorb it? His Speed Force and the Time Wraith's were not even the same kind—or perhaps they were not even from the same world!

Lu Mingyu was stunned. That power was not something the Time Wraith could simply absorb whenever it wanted.

Reverse-Flash rushed out from behind Lu Mingyu. At the same time, the lightning in his hand transformed into a blade and flew directly at the Time Wraith.

Reverse-Flash knew this attack would be useless. After all, the Time Wraith could absorb this kind of lightning too.

Lu Mingyu ran to Tony's suit. He did not know whether it had a freezing device, but he still wanted to give it a try. Then the Eye of Agamotto on Doctor Strange's body bloomed with green light. The power of time appeared around Doctor Strange, or rather, he could help Lu Mingyu for a short while.

He looked at Lu Mingyu and said, "Wow, are you really that fast?"

"More or less. I know this isn't our fastest speed. But can you create magic like ice or cold air?" Lu Mingyu asked, but Doctor Strange shook his head. Clearly, he could not do that.

However, Doctor Strange quickly thought of a way. He said, "I can open a portal and send this ghost to Mount Everest or any other snowy mountain. Would that work?"

"Of course. Better make it quick. This monster fears the cold. That's the only way to deal with it." Lu Mingyu looked at Doctor Strange, hoping he would open a portal immediately.

The moment Reverse-Flash struck the Time Wraith with lightning, it began chasing him down. He knew he had to leave quickly, so he tried to open a point in time, but no matter what he did, he could not accomplish it in this world.

His speed could not reach the level needed to open a point in time, so Reverse-Flash was temporarily unable to escape.

Lu Mingyu shouted Reverse-Flash's name, telling him to come over quickly. "Reverse-Flash, come here!"

He wanted Reverse-Flash to lure the Time Wraith into the portal.

Doctor Strange opened a portal in the space before them and instantly set its destination to Mount Everest. For some reason, Doctor Strange wanted to send the Time Wraith to Mount Everest. It was not because the mountain had any special significance; he simply wanted to send it there.

"Quick, lure it into the portal!"

Reverse-Flash saw Lu Mingyu's gesture. Then his whole body vibrated violently as he split into different afterimages. Those afterimages continuously disrupted the Time Wraith's vision, though they also slowed Reverse-Flash down considerably.

Reverse-Flash's afterimages completely blocked the Time Wraith's sight, and it did not notice the portal created by the magic before it.

Reverse-Flash instantly rushed into the portal, and the Time Wraith charged in after him.

Doctor Strange did not close the portal. Instead, he followed them through. Green light covered his entire body as magic continuously manifested around him. He cleared away the ground and snow beneath the Time Wraith's feet, turning it into a massive pit. The Time Wraith did not use its super speed to escape the pit. Instead, it grew slower and slower.

Reverse-Flash was startled when he saw the massive pit suddenly appear behind him. Then he looked at Doctor Strange and said, "A speedster?"

"You could say I can control time, but it isn't my own ability." Doctor Strange shook his head. He watched the Time Wraith struggle inside the pit as the Speed Force slowly disappeared from its body. Gradually, it turned into an ice sculpture and was shattered by the extreme cold.

That Time Wraith disappeared just like that, and Reverse-Flash let out a long breath. He looked at Doctor Strange and said, "Your ability is truly strange. I'm very interested."

"We can discuss it when we have the chance, but not now."

Lu Mingyu ran over from the other side of the portal. Looking at the chunks of ice at the bottom of the pit, he said, "It froze into ice?"

Doctor Strange nodded.

"Then why did it shatter?"

"Who knows?" Reverse-Flash replied.

Reverse-Flash wiped the sweat beside his eyes. Cold sweat had long since run down from beneath his cowl into his eyes. He had nearly died. Although this Time Wraith had disappeared, Reverse-Flash knew more Time Wraiths would continue coming to this world to hunt him down.

What he needed to do now was return to his own world. Only then would he have a way to evade the Time Wraiths' pursuit.

He looked at Lu Mingyu and said, "Would you be willing to help me return to my world?"

Doctor Strange looked at Lu Mingyu and Reverse-Flash with a strange expression. He said nothing, only restored time to normal.
