Kapitel 557: Leaving

Edward had dozens of screens before him and countless papers and scrolls around him. Sometimes, he finds his mind more at peace or refreshing when writing on paper using a pen or pencil. Morgana suddenly appeared next to him.

"What was the result?"

"The same," replied Morgana. "The ship we sent was lost in another timeline and never reached the destination."

Edward groaned. They've tried thousands of tests by now, but the result is the same—the drone or ship sent was lost in the Multiverse.

"Did we at least get some useful data?"

"Yes, but nothing too big."

Edward looked at the data and began to analyze and process the result. He was so glad he first went to the Doctor Who Universe and learned about the Time Vortex and Higher Dimensional Physique. Otherwise, he doubted he would get anywhere with the new navigation system.

Despite his frustration at the situation and desire to leave this world as soon as possible, Edward slightly enjoyed himself because he found a challenge. Plus, the situation allowed him to process all the knowledge he acquired from the Time Lords completely and integrate them into his magic system.

While deep in thought and focusing on his work, he sensed someone flying over, and he knew who it was.

"You seem in a bad mood," said Edward without raising his head.

"It's my mother. She can be so insufferable and stubborn," complained Diana.

"What is it this time?"

"Your prediction was correct. A grand war is rapidly spreading in the world of men. Now that it's in its infancy, it's the perfect time to intervene and stop it. But she refuses to allow me to live, saying things like they were not prepared for my existence. What a bunch of nonsense."

"She's right," said Wang Wei casually.

"What! You're on her side."

"I'm not on anyone's side; I'm just telling you how things are," continued Edward. "The world outside is not yet developed technologically and socially to accept your existence, especially since you're the daughter of Zeus."

It would be fine if this world were the comics or a timeline where many heroes appeared as early as World War I since Diana's presence wouldn't catch so much attention. But now, she might cause more trouble than good.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you know the main cause of war in the outside world?"

"Not really."

"It's religion," answered Edward, multitasking with the screens before him. "Despite the current level of technology, human's desire for the divine has never stopped. So, what do you think will happen when Zeus's literal daughter shows up, displaying unimaginable powers?"

Diana did not answer, so Edward answered for her:

"First, people will be happy and celebrate; they've finally found concrete proof of the existence of God. So, they will search for proof from the other Pantheons, and with their current disappearance, no one will find anything. So, they will reject your existence, claiming you're a fraud and a liar."

"But I am not a liar."

"Yes, but that does not matter," explained Edward. "That's how human psychology operates."

Diana thought momentarily, "If what you said truly happens, I would not mind being labeled a liar if I could help the world achieve peace."

"Oh, no, things will only get worse from now on. I won't mention how most governments in the world will want to capture you to study your biology and try to replicate supersoldiers. So, let's focus on the religious aspect.

"Currently, roughly one-third of the human population identifies as Christian; in other words, they are the largest and most powerful of the bunch. Meanwhile, religions like Hellenic Paganism, which worships Zeus and other Olympian Gods, are considered cults or treated as such by much of the world.

"Now, imagine what these people would do knowing the only proof of the Divine in the world claimed she was the daughter of Zeus? They would use your name to rally more believers and spread their name; they would probably claim their Pantheon was the one and only true religion."

"Isn't it easy to just tell the truth?"

"The crux of the issue is it will be your words against many. You may tell the truth, but could the members of your delegation be willing to give up such an opportunity? They only need to secretly spread the news you're a kind individual who does not wish to cause more harm to the world, hence why you're saying this nonsense."

"I think you're being pessimistic," argued Diana. "I can hide my identity and origin."

"True, but humans do not take kindly to the unknown. They will want to know where you came from and how you got your powers," replied Edward. "You could lie and say you're an alien, but that would only bring up another issue: is the human race ready to confront the fact they are now alone in this vast and dangerous universe?

"You could say your power is from some magical power or artifact you accidentally acquired in some unknown place. However, such a lie won't hold much when people do not find such powers or do not find any information about them in any country.

"My point is your involvement with humanity at this time is far from a good idea."

"So, you want me to wait while the world suffers?"

"As cruel as this may sound, humanity must experience certain things before we grow and learn. The aid of any divine being is not a good thing in our early stages of development."

"When can I intervene?"

"In a few decades. By then, threats we were unprepared to deal with will appear, and they will need your help. We will also have evolved enough to accept the existence of the divine without allowing it to crumble our society.

"By then, there will also be many heroes with strength and power that will share a similar mission as you."

"I understand." Diana stayed with Edward for a while but was distracted the entire time. Finally, she flew home as she needed time to calm down and think. A few hours later, Edward received another visitor:

"Queen Hippolyta, what do I owe this visit?" asked Edward while still doing calculations.

"I came to thank you," said the queen. "It's sometimes hard to get through to her, so I'm glad you could make her understand."

"Your problem with communication is because you refuse to see her as nothing more than your little girl. I don't have any biological children, so I cannot comment on your unique relationship, but it's evident that if you could see and treat her as an adult, telling her even the harsh truths and reality, you wouldn't have many problems in your relationship."

The queen was quiet momentarily before saying, "Maybe you're right."

Time passed, and it was soon the year 1925. After more than a decade of trial and error, Edward finally created a Navigation System that used an artificial Time Network to navigate this turbulent Multiverse. Since the city was using its own Time Network, it was no longer affected by the chaotic space-time continuum of this world due to the convergence. He could find his destination even if these timelines constantly moved or changed.

"Can you not stay?" asked Diana.

"I'm afraid not."

The Amazonian Princess sighed, "Will I see you again?"

"I have a place to go, but I will come see you before I return to my dimension."

"Then it's a promise."

Edward smiled before a small wooden box appeared in his hand, "My departing gift."

"You shouldn't have," said Diana, but she still opened the box to see a bracelet. "What does it do?"

"It allows you to convert your pure divine power into elemental divine power, lightning to be precise. Plus, it's also indestructible."

Diana put the bracelet on, and with a thought, a bolt of lightning appeared in her, exactly like her father.

"So, you did figure out the secret of the Lasso."

"Yes, a unique material blessed by the Universe Will. As long as the Multiverse exists, the lasso won't break."

Diana did not understand much of what he said, but she did not focus on that. "So, you've successfully recreated it?"

"In a manner of speaking. I link the artifact to your Lasso. So, as long as nothing happens to the Lasso, nothing will happen to it."

"I love it," she said. "It's unfortunate I did not prepare one for you. How about this: I will return the gift when I see you again."

"Alright, I look forward to it."

Edward said his goodbyes before entering the city and preparing for departure.

"I thought you would try to trick her into going home with you," said Morgana with a look of derision.

"A few nights of romantic passion is more than enough for our romantic relationship." A woman like Diana would never allow herself to play second fiddle to anyone else, so there was no hope in the first place; anyway, he was satisfied with the few moments they shared together and made a great friend.

"Let's go."


Kapitel 558: The Speed Force

While in Invisible Mode, the floating city landed in its destination.

"Finally arrived," sighed Edward. "Quickly check what time period we are in?"

"According to my calculations and data, the Flash is in its fourth year or Season Four."

Edward grunted, "So we couldn't land in his early years?"

"We're lucky we could navigate such a troublesome Multiverse, so don't expect to be able to land at any point in time," said Morgana. "So, what's our plan? According to our simulations, Barry won't be as understanding or cooperating as the Doctor."

"That's why I wanted to land early. We could have easily infiltrated Team Flash by working at Star Lab and get what we wanted."

"We have to adapt, so what's the plan?"

"We don't know how much time before the Convergence ends. So, let's use a more forceful yet still peaceful method."

"What does that even mean?"

"Barry created an alternate reality in his third year when he traveled back in time and changed his mother's death. Although he left that reality, it should still exist. Our first visit should be there. Locate it."

"As you wish."

Morgana could monitor the entire planet and the surrounding realities and dimensions connected to it. And even if she could not, she could use a Cause and Effect Spell to find the reality connected to Barry.

"Found it," she declared, and the team did not hesitate to travel to that alternative reality. The process was not smooth despite the fact they were not navigating the multiverse.

"What did the scan find?" asked Edward.

"Barry Allen is not here, as we expected. However, oddly enough, I could not find Savatar as well."

"So, Barry was not the only one who escaped that reality," muttered Edward. "So, is only Kid Flash left?"

"Yes."

"Capture him."

The process took some time and effort, but it was done perfectly. Edward looked at the young Wally West in this particular prison he made for Speedster.

"Show me the scan and preliminary result."

The first thing they learned about Speedsters is that it was impossible to read their mind or control them, and that's because the Speed Force was protecting them.

Edward frowned at this result because he knew this was not an innate ability of any of the Flashes. Gorilla Grodd has controlled Barry's mind on many occasions.

After this preliminary result, he looked at Wally's Life Code, which was as the show revealed. Dark Matter altered his cells and DNA, allowing him to tap into a special force in the universe — the Speed Force. He did not care much for the Life Code alteration, as his focus was more on the Speed Force.

For his experiment, Edward used Dark Matter to alter a clone's Life Code to copy Kid Flash, creating his own Speedster. Then, he ran multiple tests on the subject.

"This can be considered a failure," commented Morgana.

"Indeed." Although they created a speedster, the latter's connection to the Speed Force was subpar, thus preventing them from learning its essence.

"What's more, it's the same for this subject— we cannot read or control their minds." Such an anomaly was worrying.

"So, what's next?" asked the purple-haired clone.

"Let's clone Wally West and see if there is a difference."

The result of the experiment's second round was different, even by leagues. The clone had a deeper connection to the Speed Force, thus not only making him faster but also could use different abilities.

However, when compared to the original, they were still not in the same league. Wally did not want to cooperate with this experiment despite the promise of his release; he did not even accept the threat to his family, which was out of character for Wally.

So, Edward had to make it look like the dungeon holding him had a faulty system and allow him to escape. While running, he gathered all the data he needed before recapturing.

"We can now conclude that connection to the Speed Force is not just related to the body but also the mind and maybe the soul," said Edward. "However, Wally's Soul Dimension and Flame were normal. So, where is the source of their gift?"

"Do you think the reason for our anomalies is because this is an alternative reality?" asked Morgana.

"This could explain some of the anomalies but not all of them."

"Do you have a better theory?"

"I do," replied Edward. "The Speed Force is also a living entity or has a consciousness, and it does not want foreigners like us to find its secrets."

He should have thought of that since the Speed Force appeared to Barry in the form of his mother in the show.

"That could explain it. But what's with all these time-related concepts suddenly acquiring consciousness?" complained Morgana.

"Suddenly? For all we know, it's always been like, but we accidentally uncovered two worlds with similar concepts."

"True, but let's watch out if the same thing happens in the next world."

The two continued their research and gathered more data. Edward traveled to Earth 3 after a great effort to observe Jay Garrick, another Speedster. In the comics, Jay Garrick was the original Speedster, but his power came from a mutation of his genes. It was later retconned that his power connected to the Speed Force.

Edward did not interact with Jay in any form and only secretly observed and recorded. The final result is that Jay's connection to the force was greater than any of his experiments but still to a lesser degree than Wally's, let alone Barry's.

[Sidenote: In the comics, Wally West is the Speedster with the deepest connection to the force, not Barry. Even in the show, it's hinted at as such, but since Barry was the main character, such a plot did not go far.]

"We have enough data to work with for now," commented Edward before making a device that would grant him access to the Speed Force. In the process, he was able to prove some of his theories.

A normal universe has four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetic force, and weak and strong nuclear force. However, there are other forces in this universe, including the Speed Force.

"You were right," said Morgana. "The Speed Force can affect the space-time continuum using speed and movement. Such an application should be unique enough for the Time Game."

"Indeed," replied Edward as he tested out the final product. "However, this is not enough." The speed force he could tap into was not enough to break the restraint of the space-time continuum, so they needed more data.

"It seems Barry is the key to our success," commented Morgana.

"Yes. In some ways, he's the child of the Speed Force."

The group's next destination was not Barry and his group but the major villain of that year—the Thinker. He was a man of unparalleled intelligence who had his brain mutated after exposure to Dark Matter.

The Thinker was shocked after seeing Edward suddenly appear and stuttered incomprehensible that he was an anomaly and should not have appeared.

"Do you think we should have dealt deeper into the effect of Dark Matter on the Life Code?" asked Edward after analyzing the Thinker's brain composition.

"Maybe, but you should consider how this world is different. The laws allow for people's Life Codes to be more malleable and changeable. In other places, dark matter will not have such a positive effect."

"True," nodded Edward. "Alright, let's go see our protagonist."

[AN: Apology if there are some inconsistencies or errors with this arc. It's been years since I watched The Flash, and I only saw the first four seasons. So, I'm doing my best through research, but it's not the same.]
