Chapter 764 Is our history meaningless?

Bang.

Thomas Wayne of the Prime Universe is thrown to the floor.

After his failed escape, he was caught by Lantern No. 1 again. He had never felt that everything was out of his control as he did now.

He curled up as best he could and looked around the room.

A room of about 30 square meters, I don’t know where it is and there are no windows.

There is a chandelier above my head, with the kind of long light tubes you see in shopping malls.

Then there was nothing in the room.

As for where this room is?

do not know.

The speed at which the First Lantern moved with him was too fast, and unlike the Reverse Flash, he did not have the Speed ​​Force to cover both of them together -

The speed force will erase all physical rules, so anyone carried by the speedster will not be affected by rules such as friction. Of course this is the case, otherwise every time the Flash carries someone around, he will only turn the other person into a big fireball that rubs against the air.

So when Thomas was being carried by the Reverse-Flash and escaping, his thoughts and actions were also accelerated by the Speed ​​Force, just like the Flash could chat with his wife Iris while running in his arms.

This is also why when Thomas noticed that the Reverse-Flash abandoned Martha to the First Lantern, he was able to punch the Reverse-Flash in the backhand and then replace Martha with himself.

This is definitely due to the remaining speed force, otherwise with Thomas' mortal speed, he should not even be able to touch the hair of Reverse Flash.

In short, Thomas now knows that he has become a new prisoner, and this time it is not like before, where they were simply thrown into an unattended base.

"Oh, don't even think about it."

The first Lantern waved his hand, and the universal belt around Thomas Wayne's waist flew up and fell directly into the Lantern's hands.

"I'm not stupid enough to let you hold the Universal Belt in this crude cell."

Thomas Wayne's heart sank. He just curled up as much as possible just to make the other party ignore this.

But unfortunately, this didn't do anything.

"What do you need me to do?"

Thomas asked in a deep voice.

He needs to understand the other party's purpose. He is Batman, he is Thomas Wayne. As long as the other party opens his mouth, even if it is just a sentence, a word, or a little attitude, he can deconstruct a lot of information from it and then infer information that ordinary people cannot perceive.

But I won't give you that chance.

Lantern No. 1 originally wanted to say this, but in order to prevent the other party from being able to infer something strange from this sentence, he finally chose not to say a word.

Who knows? Batman can't think with normal human thinking.

Then he waved at Old Thomas again, and all the magical little props hidden under the other's boots, in the arm armor, behind the mask, in the cloak layer, in the reserve armor and in the armor layer of the limbs were summoned out.

Do you think that if you take away Batman's universal belt, the other party will have no props?

As we all know, Batman is Doraemon, who can take out something from his body at any time, even if you think it is impossible to put it in.

What are all these things? There are so many of them that even the First Lantern can’t understand their uses. Although the First Lantern has traveled to countless parallel universes and has a long lifespan, he is not omniscient and omnipotent after all.

Never mind, confiscate them all!

Thomas Wayne looked ashen.

His face was extremely ugly.

"You win." He said coldly.

Lantern No. 1 still didn't speak, then he waved again, and then Thomas Wayne vomited uncontrollably.

He vomited out some kind of tiny locator and distress communication device from his stomach pouch.

"You installed a tracker on your wife Martha, and that tracker can be reversely connected to the communicator in your hand. Do you think I didn't notice the little tricks you did secretly while being carried by Reverse Flash?"

Lantern No. 1 shook his head slightly: "You don't understand who I am at all."

In an instant, Thomas Wayne was suspended in the air in a big letter shape, and his whole body began to twitch wildly, like a game model with a bug.

The timeline began to reverse rapidly in his body. He quickly became younger, from middle-aged to middle-aged, then to young, teenager, and child...

Then, as Lantern No. 1 twisted his hand, everything changed back quickly like a videotape.

Lantern No. 1 fiddled with it repeatedly and gently, and soon found two spare communicators in Thomas's anus and rectum.

Thomas of one age has something more in his body than Thomas of another age, which is definitely a problem. A somewhat stupid but infallible screening method.

"You're amazing. I almost didn't find it."

Lantern No. 1 said.

The Lantern was still worried, so he turned the timeline back and forth and picked up old Thomas and shook him again and again.

After a lot of magical props were taken away with a clang, this time they were really gone.

Lantern No. 1 searched three more times carefully.

In the end he threw the clothes back to Thomas, and he only let Thomas keep the Batman uniform.

A Batman with no props except his uniform.

Rather than a piece of clothing to cover up one's shame, this is more like the Lantern's mockery of old Thomas.

Then he made several thick chains on the ground. Without his magical props, Batman only needed a few chains to trap him.

With a loud creaking sound, Lantern No. 1 soon left this place.

Before leaving, he hit old Thomas directly, and he soon fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, Thomas slowly woke up.

There was silence all around, with only a slight buzzing sound in the ears.

Thomas knew it was just tinnitus.

He felt dizzy and all the strength left his body.

He knew that he should find a way to leave here and escape from this cage, but his body was in too much pain.

And even if he was completely safe, he would not be able to break free from the heavy iron chains wrapped around his body.

Thomas tried to break his finger bones, or some other bone, to free himself from the chains, but to no avail.

He realized that the chain seemed to be controlled by some kind of emotional spectrum energy. When he shrank his body a little, the chain shrank with him, and when he opened his mouth to breathe and stretched his body to prevent himself from being strangled, the chain would also stretch with him.

There was really no way to escape now. To be honest, Thomas didn't even know who the other party was.

In just a few seconds, the world changed. Thomas can even clearly remember that he and Barry Allen reversed the history of the Flashpoint timeline. His Flashpoint timeline should have been completely erased, but why does he still exist now? Did Barry Allen fail?

But the question is, if the other party fails, what about these new memories generated in his mind?

Some history was changed, but the biggest change was the memory that suddenly appeared in his mind:

That tyrant who killed innocent people and levied heavy taxes actually called himself Superman? This is different from the Superman described by Barry.

What about the Superman who was imprisoned in the military and was as thin as a skeleton?

What's even more different is that he originally killed Reverse-Flash, but the other party did not die; so he is back now and took him away.

Thomas could still understand this, but he knew nothing about the Lantern in front of him. Even the name Lantern was inferred from the Green Lantern that Flash Barry Allen introduced to him.

He could feel that Lantern No. 1 must have captured him for some purpose. When he looked at him, it was not like he was looking at a casually captured prisoner, but rather like he was looking at some very useful prop.

He was familiar with that look.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is very bad, to be honest.

But now he can only wait, waiting for an unknown fate.

"listen to me."

Thomas's head shook slightly.

"Don't look up, you are the only one who can hear my voice now."

Thomas Wayne kept his head down, and he remained calm.

"If you want to answer me, you just need to think silently in your mind. Telepathic link. Have you felt it? It seems not."

But now Thomas felt it.

"who are you?"

"I'm Terry. Terry McInnes, Batman from the Future."

Old Thomas did not completely lose his mind because of the three words "Batman". He had used this method many times before.

When faced with a prisoner who needs to be pried open, leave first, then pretend to be his accomplice to secretly rescue him, and then extort information from him.

It was a very standard and common trick, but he was not a rookie who would be fooled by such tricks. Thomas was extremely alert, and at this time he did not forget to obtain intelligence and information from the opponent.

"what do you want to do?"

"Uh... do we have to have this conversation? But the truth is, I'm planning on getting you out."

"Then you do it now."

With a clang, the chains that Lantern No. 1 had made on Thomas Wayne disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if he had been teleported away by some kind of space teleportation device. Then he also disappeared from the spot.

Old Thomas himself was shocked, he did not expect the other party to act so quickly. Due to the battle between the First Lantern and the Reverse-Flash just now, he had already raised the height of the First Lantern infinitely in his mind, but now everything he had left behind was broken so quickly.

Before long, Thomas appeared in a spaceship. The other party didn't waste any time, and immediately rescued him without asking for any information. He saw a man sitting in the main seat of the spaceship, and when he turned around, Thomas saw a man with the same pointed head and uniform as him.

"Let me introduce myself again." Then he heard the other party say: "I am Terry, the future Batman, from the doomsday future timeline."

"And you, from Flashpoint."

The voice of the future Batman Terry. He was very young, and he was also wearing a pure black, fully enclosed uniform. Old Thomas couldn't tell his age for a moment. The future Batman Terry quickly answered the questions that Thomas wanted to know most:

Who was it that had taken me away? What did he want to do with me?

"The person who captured you is Lantern No. 1. He captured you, obviously wanting to use you to stabilize the Flashpoint timeline."

Thomas heard Terry's voice: "He tried to use you to fix the entire timeline. He wanted an anchor point to manipulate the timeline. The anchor point he originally chose was Reverse Flash, a very good anchor point with super speed. But now he can't catch the other party, so he chose you as a second choice."

"How do you know all this?"

Thomas Wayne asked, and then he heard the other party laugh twice in a low voice.

Thomas had a strange feeling.

Although the voice belonged to a young man, it gave him a sense of decadence.

He waited for a response, but was evaded.

"Because I'm Batman."

Terry said.

Thomas saw that Batman Terry had taken off his mask.

Under the mask, there was an old face, and the young voice just now was just the result of the mask changing the voice.

"I'm Terry, the future Batman from the Doomsday timeline, and I want to preserve our history."

“Think about it, and you realize it. In the grand narrative of the world, we are just the wrong characters in the wrong timeline.”

“We are like the wrong forks growing on a branch. Even though we extend far enough, we should still be cut down. No matter what we give, our lives of love, hate and sorrow are meaningless under the grand narrative.

Our history means nothing, Thomas, and physiologically, you are my grandfather and I can prove it to you, but none of this should have happened.”

(Note: Terry, the future Batman, is a clone with half of Batman's DNA created by Amanda Waller after she stole Batman's DNA. In other words, he is also Bruce's biological son. His parents were secretly taken away by Amanda Waller as surrogates.)

"We will be erased, and for us, being erased is no different from death. I tried my best to reverse Omack's plot to destroy the entire universe, and now I let my own timeline be destroyed, just like a piece of cement, knock it out and build a new one?

No, I can't accept it.

But here is an opportunity, my dear friends. We have an opportunity to turn our empty lives into something real.”

"We are all just puppets of mistakes. Our history and the world are mistakes. These tragedies are not caused by us, but we are trapped by them all our lives."

"So I spent a long, long time trying to change all that," said the elderly future Batman Terry.

"I represent the Doomsday Future timeline, Thomas, and you represent Flashpoint. I need your help so we can mirror our history onto the main universe timeline. Wouldn't you like to do that?"

But his proposal was rejected by Thomas Wayne in person.

"What? No!"
