Let me show you a new way Chapter 086

“Today! Is a tragic day!” Lex Luthor stood on a high platform, addressing the public.

“Villains from other worlds have invaded our home! They tried to rule our world, tried to turn our world into their paradise of wanton slaughter and crime.” Behind Lex Luthor was a huge coffin, containing the remnants of the Machine Flash’s body.

Three days ago, the Robot Flash created a portal to another world through extreme vibration, pushing the impending Omega Effect into the alternate dimension.

This extreme speed of vibration, beyond human imagination, caused great damage to Flash’s body, and the close contact with the Omega Effect further traumatized Flash’s core consciousness.

When he recovered from the high speed and voluntarily disengaged from the protection of the Speed Force, he was already dead. His core consciousness had completely disintegrated, and his internal energy had long been exhausted.

But when he stopped, as if by a miracle, he asked about the safety of the world.

“Did we… save the world?” The robot’s伪装 skin was completely damaged, turning into a golden stream of light under the erosion of the Omega Effect, slowly disappearing.

“Yes, yes… you did…” Upon hearing the answer, the robot seemed to show a relieved smile. It murmured, “That’s good, that’s good!”

Then the energy indicator lights on its body flickered for a moment, slowly dimming.

In the distance, Wally West, who had been brought by Beast Boy with a Red Lantern Ring, the powerless Kid Flash, stumbled over.

“No no no no no no no! Please… please…” Large tears dripped from his eyes, shattering into pieces on the ground.

“Not again…”

“Not again…”

Finally, the robot lost its last power, and its mechanical arms drooped weakly.

All the heroes gathered in a circle, their heads slightly bowed, seemingly in mourning. In the center, Wally West held the now-still robot, kneeling on the ground and sobbing.

————————

“Heroes are not gods, they are not indestructible, they are not irresistible, they also have weaknesses.” Lex Luthor explained to the public.

“I have spent my life trying to prove this, I tried to prove that heroes are just threats, that they make humanity lose the motivation to progress.”

“But I was wrong…” Lex Luthor lowered his head.

“It is precisely because of them that humanity has the possibility of progress. This world has too many crises, too many disasters. Before humanity progresses to a certain level, we do need heroes.”

“Perhaps one day, we will no longer need heroes, but that is not now. We are still just a group of children, stumbling and exploring this world, so we need the help of others.”

“But this is not a reason for us to be complacent, nor is it a reason to be reckless just because of the existence of heroes.”

“Do not fail to wear a seatbelt when driving just because of Superman’s existence, because we will eventually grow, and one day we will break free from the protection of heroes, just as a child grows and eventually leaves the embrace of their parents.”

“When we grow up, when we truly become strong, perhaps that is when heroes can rest.”

“We will eventually progress, we will surely grow!”

“Let us mourn for the guardians…”

————————

The sun hung high in the sky, radiating warm light.

Wally West sat alone on the roof of a house, gazing into the distance.

“Is something bothering you?” Lin Dong slowly floated to his side and asked.

“I lost my speed, I don’t know what to do…” Wally sat there, hugging his knees, looking very resistant to others.

“You never lost your speed, Wally!” Lin Dong said.

“This morning I went for a run in the park, and a girl about my age ran faster than me… and she wasn’t even trying to run faster than me.” Wally looked dejectedly at a golden ring on his finger.

Inside that ring, his uniform was hidden. Wally fiddled with it, and a half-gold, half-red uniform flew out.

“I’m not Kid Flash anymore…” Wally said, looking at the uniform in his hand.

“Wally, I hope you understand…” Lin Dong patiently stood up, looking at the dejected young man.

“You can’t lose speed, because speed is hidden in your heart, you just need to find it.” Lin Dong stretched out a finger, and the uniform in Wally’s hand slowly changed, its original half-gold, half-red colors becoming entirely red.

“When you find your speed, you will become…”

“The Flash…”

————————

“Are you leaving?” Nabu’s voice echoed in Lin Dong’s ear.

“Yes, I should indeed leave.” Lin Dong nodded and said, he was currently standing in a desolate wilderness. “This world has returned to order. Perhaps there will still be disasters, still be evil, but justice will ultimately prevail.”

Lin Dong placed his hands on his waist, took off his golden belt, and then it slowly transformed into a golden helmet in the air.

“Heroes are passed down from generation to generation, and humanity is progressing little by little.” Lin Dong looked at the sky, the sun selflessly casting warm light.

“In the pocket universe of Apokolips, the Batmen have guarded secrets for generations, passing them down, creating that communicator.”

“Bizarro, the Superman clone created by Lex Luthor, sacrificed his life for others twice.”

“The Flash and the Robot Flash, they are both heroes, they are both Barry Allen, and they both sacrificed themselves for the world.”

“And Wonder Woman, who is a robot, eventually earned the respect of the Amazons and obtained Wonder Woman’s equipment.”

“The seeds of heroism have been passed down. They have Green Lantern, Superman, The Flash, Batwoman, Cyborg.”

“They are the hope of this world, passed down from their predecessors, the hope of progress.”

“The hope of guardianship.”

Lin Dong looked at this world; it might have suffered repeated heavy blows, but it could ultimately stand up and bravely face challenges again and again, striving for progress.

“I am an outsider to this world, I cannot stay here forever.” Lin Dong said, looking at the helmet in his hand.

“Aren’t you going to say goodbye?” A muffled voice came from inside the helmet.

“Forget it! What’s there to say?” Lin Dong smiled, released the helmet, and the helmet floated in the air under the influence of some power.

“Go find others! I should leave!” Lin Dong said, the helmet in front of him swayed slightly, as if nodding, then turned into a golden light and soared into the sky, disappearing.

Lin Dong looked around, preparing to summon the Main God and leave this world. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, and abruptly looked up. The high sky suddenly became overcast, with rolling thunder.

“Are you serious?” Lin Dong looked at the sky speechlessly. A thunderous roar sounded, as if answering Lin Dong’s question.

“Alright, alright!” Lin Dong shrugged, raised an arm, as if waiting for something.

The next moment, a huge golden lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking Lin Dong’s arm fiercely. His entire body turned into dazzling light.

The lightning disappeared, and the light wrapped around Lin Dong’s body slowly dissipated. On his wrist, a peculiar golden lightning mark was extremely striking.

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Dong’s mouth, then he looked up at the sky.

“SHAZAM!!!” A loud roar.

“Boom—” Lightning struck, and golden lightning bolts surrounded Lin Dong’s body. On his chest, a distinct golden lightning symbol appeared, and what was most striking was his extremely fast-moving body.

“So… thanks?” Lin Dong said with a smile, then bent his knees slightly. The next moment, his body suddenly turned into an afterimage, running rapidly into the distance.

Golden Speed Force lightning surrounded him, and the Main God’s passage quickly opened in the distance. His body turned into an afterimage and entered the passage.

DC Universe Arc…

End.
