章節 60: Chapter 60 Wonder Woman Is Alive, Breaches Everywhere
Zoom felt his vision darken. His figure dressed in that black speed suit seemed to be transported into a dark space.
"What the....."
Argh!
In that space, he held his head and screamed in pain. After meeting Amari's eyes, his body felt as heavy as if he were foundering in deep water.
In the darkness, two pair of glowing eyes appeared in the void.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Hunter Zolomon was frightened beyond reason.
He knew what was happening. His mind was being invaded.
But how?
As a speedster, his brain reacted much faster than humans could. Mind infiltration tactics usually didn't have much effect.
Trying to hijack the mind of a speedster was a difficult task to accomplish.
Was this guy a telepath, surpassing Grodd?
"Arghhhhh!" Zoom collapsed on the floor, groaning heavily.
"Earth -1. So that's where you come from". Raising himself from his squatting posture, Amari frowned lightly at the information being sorted in his head.
His eyes thrummed with a purple glow as numerous scenes appeared in his subconscious.
Within his mind, he saw a world.
Dead, desolate, a wasteland.
Deserts for miles on what used to be fertile soil. Destroyed buildings and remnants of cities.
The general populace that remained alive lived in a world dominated by superpowered individuals.
They hid in fear and lived in fear.
Died from robbery, hunger, accidents, provoking the wrong person...
The scenes flashed through his eyes so fast.
The people there were basically like the walking dead. There was no hope in their eyes, no light in their life. Deaths were normal, random, food had become a luxury for many.
Dozens of beautiful woman could be exchanged for a loaf of bread.
This .... This was worse than Gotham…
Seeing it in his eyes amazed him. Was this the injustice universe? Or was it a universe similar to Earth 3?
"Superman? .... Resistance... ". His frown deepened.
Zoom had appeared here while chasing the Flash of Earth -1, Wally West. As for the original Barry Allen...
Well, he was dead.
But that wasn't the problem. What made him curious was why they came here and how exactly did they manage to accomplish it.
To travel through universes relying solely on speed, neither of the two speedsters were fast enough to achieve it.
Unless they messed up the space-time continuum by attempting and failing to travel through time, it was impossible for them to open a breach in space through universes.
But from the memories he had searched through, Neither Flash nor Zoom created a singularity, causing a breach between two universes.
"So if they didn't do it, then where the hell did this portal come from?" Amari muttered under his breath as he turned his gaze to the breach that was slowly concealing itself again.
It happened then.
ZOOM!
Amari turned back again to see that the cave was missing a speedster.
Hunter Zolomon, the self-proclaimed fastest man alive, ran away. Not only did he leave, he didn't even carry Wally's unconscious body with him.
For Zoom's escape, Amari couldn't give a damn. He never planned to kill or capture him anyway.
Well.... Maybe he did for some research purposes, but that was later on.
His mind wandered through the many years of memories, skipping the unimportant and unrelated info, constantly searching for his answer.
And so, he came across a particular memory that gave him his answer.
A memory wherein, he was engaged in a fight with the Flash.
....
Almost a week ago.....
"Everyone retreat, I'll lead him away".
ZOOM!
And so, he ran.
"Finish the rest".
Looking at the running figure, zoomed said hoarsely to the superpowered subordinates behind him before turning into a lightning streak as well.
And so, the race began.
Two figures streaked past the desolate ruins of Central City. One orange, one blue.
From the streets to the alleys, in between buildings and to the rooftops.
The flashing colors were particularly conspicuous.
Both figures ran through an alley.
However, Zoom who was still behind immediately made a sudden move, turning sharply to his right and phasing through the wall.
After The Flash made his way through, a force field barrier suddenly appeared in the middle of the alley, specially made for speedsters to trap their movements.
If he had continued on his original path, the Black Flash would have been trapped.
"It didn't work, Wally". A slightly anxious voice appeared in the red speedster's intercom.
Wally gritted his teeth and continued to run forward
The chase moved on as both figures eventually entangled into high-speed combat. Wally West was fast, but compared to his uncle, he was far from capable.
A fist, moving at a speed too fast to react to, hit him squarely in the chest.
Wally was knocked to the floor, rolling away several meters.
Blue Lightning flashed and Zoom's figure appeared a distance away.
"Pathetic". One word.
Wally gritted his teeth and pulled himself from the floor.
"I grow tired of this farce. Tell me, where is Wells".
The Black Flash felt annoyed.
"I'm not telling you anything". Wally replied coldly, ignoring the pain from receiving numerous blows.
"Then I'll pry it out from you". Blue Lightning arcs appeared all over.
At that moment, something happened.
The sky above, them in a limited range suddenly changed. Both figures looked to the sky with vigilance written all over their faces.
BOOM!
A shockwave was emitted, shattering whatever glasses remained in this broken city.
A portal more than a dozen meters in size suddenly appeared over their heads, looking like a blue and black hole.
"What the..." Wally was stunned.
However, the next thing that happened stunned him even more.
A figure suddenly appeared from the portal and fell from the sky.
Rapidly descending, it wasn't until the last moment that the figure regained balance, flipped in the air and landing on the asphalt road.
Bang! The ground under her feet was cracked.
Seeing the person in front of them, both speedsters were slightly shocked.
Long dark hair, light armor fittings, pteruges, shin guards.....
Anyone who looked closely would see what looked like a lasso by the side of her waist, a sword, and shield on her back and bracelets on her wrists.
"Ugh..... Where.....". The feminine voice echoed with confusion as Diana tried to process the dizziness that assaulted her.
What just happened?
Where was she?
"You.....". Seeing the person in front of him, Hunter narrowed his eyes.
"Queen Of The Amazon's, this is not your territory".
....
"Still alive!" Amari, who was combing through memories, suddenly opened his eyes in surprise.
Before an expression of realization appeared on his face.
"That's it".
Then he chuckled with amusement
"Who would have thought this would happen? Interesting.... truly interesting.....".
Until today, six members of the Justice League had gone missing. The world's general populace remained in the dark on this news.
Honestly, Amari didn't bother to investigate whether they were still alive.
He meant it when he said that he didn't control the Spatial tear. Wherever they were transported to was their business.
However, things had now taken a rather unexpected turn.
Wonder Woman was alive.
Not only alive, but on a different earth.
Now he understood how these speedsters made it into their universe even when their speed wasn't up to the required level.
They didn't create a breach, the Justice League did when they were transported away.
Captain Atom, forcefully opening the rift, tore the fabric of space and caused breaches to appear.
And if there was this one, then...
Looking at the breach behind him, Amari looked thoughtful before turning his gaze to the unconscious Flash of another earth.
"Should I leave him here?" He asked himself internally while examining the miserable figure.
"Well.... Let's drop him off at Mount Justice. See what ensues from it". He finally came to a decision.
And so, the space around the injured Flash distorted, before his body was sucked into the Kamui space.
Whoosh!
Following which, Amari's figure surpassed the speed of sound, rocketing out of the cave, out of the grand canyons and into the Earth's upper atmosphere.
His figure accelerated and accelerated int a blur.
BOOM!
Eventually, his body finally slowed down. Amari turned his gaze to his surroundings, realizing that he had appeared above Earth's atmosphere.
The big blue planet in the darkness of outer space was within his vision in all of its glory and beauty.
Looking at Planet Earth, Amari's eyes glowed with purple intensity as his insight skyrocketed. Spreading towards every corner of the earth, enveloping it with his senses.
Major government agencies with satellite surveillance would soon discover a peculiar superhuman up in Earth's upper atmosphere.
Amari was sure that he would receive a lot of unwanted attention as soon as he returned to earth.
For someone like him, blatantly appearing in outer space was cause for concern.
Headlines such as [The mysterious Alien up in outer space] or [Is The Alien Deviant Planning An Invasion?] would definitely appear on the front pages tomorrow.
But he didn't care. With his insight boosted to the highest level he could currently go to, he combed throughout the entire earth.
Searching!
He was looking for something.
A few something's that would destroy the earth if no one did anything about it. Not for any reason, just to verify his conjecture.
"There's the second one..... Third
… Fourth…. Fifth....". The Bible says, [Seek and ye shall find].
And in less than a minute, he found more than he thought he would.
Seven, Fifteen, twenty-three, forty-six....
After confirming the last one somewhere in the South Pole, Amari was sure of his conjecture.
Fifty-two. Fifty-two different breaches all over the globe. Some remarkably close to each other and to human residences, and some thousands of miles apart.
There were Six in Gotham, Three in Central City, Two in Metropolis.
The rest, were scattered all over the world. Amari examined each one of these breaches with intense scrutiny.
Of all the Fifty two, only six had the same dimensional frequency as the one he saw in the cave. From his understanding, these seven breaches, all led to different places on Earth -1. The rest....
He had no clue.
Of course, these were the ones on Earth.
Amari turned his gaze away from the planet and looked deep into outer space. Light-years away from his current position, there the biggest breach was located.
Seeing this on, Amari had his eyes widen a bit in amazement.
This... This was huge.
Like those giant gateway portals used by interstellar civilizations to transport armies and invade other planets.
"Well... This development is... Unexpected…"
Without peeking into the future, Amari knew that the earth was about to enter into an era of multiversal madness.
The space around his figure twisted and distorted. In such a way, the figure of the man in outer space disappeared like it was never there.
Only, his actions didn't go unnoticed. Not just by the major government organizations but also almost everyone in the world.
The moment Amari used his eyes to the extreme, almost everyone in the whole world shuddered slightly and turned their heads to look behind them.
This feeling.... The feeling of someone watching them from afar was honestly creepy.
And back in Los Angeles, Superman, who was having a discussion with Amanda Waller through video chat, frowned and raised his head to look at the sky.
That feeling.... Perhaps he felt it more than anyone else in the world.
.....
Injured my wrist a while ago so couldn't type. Hope you enjoy the new chapter.
