Puppet Name: White Knight
Overall Parameters:
Height: 2.02 meters
Weight: 139.28 kilograms
Material: Lightweight alloy, composite fiber, Graphene-Enhanced Elastomer…
Energy: None
Operation Method: Chakra Threads
Puppet Rating: A- (S)
Overall Evaluation: An armored combat Puppet, a semi-intelligent product that highly integrates modern engineering and Puppetry. It is an excellent Puppet with both speed and power, possessing immense close-combat strength and heavy firepower. When combined with its operator, its power will be further enhanced based on the operator's combat ability. With certain superpowers and additional components, it can achieve flight.
Note: When the Speed Force component within the Promethium dagger is activated, the White Knight's speed will be greatly increased, but its durability will rapidly decrease. This function will be unavailable once the Speed Force is depleted, until it is recharged.
"Cisco."
"Hm?"
"You're a goddamn genius!"
Inside the White Knight, Qingshui looked with fresh curiosity at the virtual image projected onto his retina.
In the upper left corner were two batteries. The top one was a regular battery, used to power the internal high-tech chips. The bottom one was a red battery icon with a lightning bolt symbol, showing the remaining Speed Force in the Promethium, currently at 100%.
In addition, there were functions like auxiliary aiming, position tracking, higher-precision thermal imaging, network communication, and subtitle display.
"Oh, of course. Everyone who's ever known me, since I was a kid, has told me that."
Cisco smugly ran a hand through his long hair.
"Perfect, it's almost twenty-four hours now."
Qingshui looked up at the clock on the wall.
During this interval, Qingshui took off the White Knight again and, pulling Cisco along, dismantled the previous Mechanical Samurai to study its technology.
"Jet propulsion? It uses internal chemical reactions to generate airflow for propulsion. A very ingenious design, but not much use to me."
"Shockwave emitter? So this thing generates shockwaves using electricity. That means this battery has a high energy density, right?"
"Carbon nanotube battery... It's a one-time experimental product?"
To be honest, the manufacturing level of this Mechanical Samurai was quite high. If the materials could be replaced with high-strength materials like titanium alloy, Qingshui estimated it would take more effort to deal with, but the cost would also be very high.
With Cisco, a world-class engineer, helping him, Qingshui gained a lot of useful knowledge from the Mechanical Samurai. He also speculated on the weak points of certain parts of the Mechanical Samurai's structure.
Not long after, Joe, Iris, and Wally returned to S.T.A.R. Labs with Barry.
There were only a few minutes left until the twenty-four-hour mark.
"How is Barry... doing now?"
Cisco watched Barry sitting in a chair, staring blankly at a photo of the Allen Family from his childhood.
"He's a bit better. He might be trying to piece together his past memories using these things. I plan to take him to Iron Heights Prison this afternoon to visit Dr. Henry Allen."
Joe looked at Barry's dazed figure, then turned to Cisco and the others.
"How about you two? Twenty-four hours is almost up. Are you ready?"
"Of course."
Cisco and Qingshui spoke in unison, looking simultaneously at the tall white metal warrior standing by the wall.
A few minutes later.
A dozen Mechanical Samurai rose precisely on schedule across the city, flying and wreaking havoc in Central City.
At S.T.A.R. Labs, after the alarm sounded, the White Knight quickly assembled onto Qingshui's body with the sound of mechanical whirring and clicking.
"Now..."
Cisco let out a heavy breath, looking at Qingshui.
"Run, Wort, run!"
Qingshui nodded slightly at Cisco, then released Lightning Release Chakra from his left hand, activating the Infrasonic Buzzer, which further activated the Speed Force contained within the Promethium dagger.
*Whoosh!*
A white flash of lightning streaked across everyone's vision, leaving behind countless papers stirred up by the swirling airflow.
"Woohoo!"
On the streets of Central City, Qingshui couldn't help but cheer.
Why do so many people love racing? Because speed makes you feel the most primal passion.
But Qingshui wasn't driving a car; he was in a Puppet Armor, enhanced by the Speed Force, countless times faster than any car!
This feeling was truly... exhilarating!
According to the projection, his real-time speed had reached Mach 1.3.
This speed, let alone compared to Barry, was much slower even than Wally, Kid Flash, who was still in his beginner phase.
But for Qingshui, this speed was just right. Any faster, and even with Cisco's algorithm for assisted control, Qingshui wouldn't be able to react, and the Speed Force stored in the Promethium dagger would quickly be depleted.
"Wally! I've sent the navigation coordinates to you, can you receive them?"
Cisco's voice sounded in the earpiece.
"Received."
Qingshui looked at the navigation projected onto his retina, controlled the White Knight to change direction, and at the same time, the High-Voltage Electric Sword on its right arm lit up, tearing through the air as it ran at high speed.
A few seconds later, Qingshui saw a Mechanical Samurai flying in mid-air. He stomped heavily on the ground, instantly leaped up, and used Airflow Manipulation combined with a glider to fly towards the Mechanical Samurai.
"Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash!"
A blue and white lightning bolt streaked across the sky, splitting the Mechanical Samurai in half.
Qingshui suddenly realized that for him, flying in the air seemed to better utilize the advantages of the Speed Force.
The reason speedsters like Barry run on the ground is that they can't get leverage in the air. Also, for a speedster, conventional flight can be achieved with just a big jump, but without the reactive force from the ground for acceleration, their speed would actually decrease.
But Qingshui was different.
He could use his aerodynamic devices and Airflow Manipulation abilities to generate thrust for himself.
The view was better in the air, there were fewer obstacles, and it was more conducive for someone whose body hadn't been modified by the Speed Force to move at high speeds.
Qingshui looked at the virtual display in front of him, which showed more than a dozen remaining locations. A smile played on his lips as he transformed into a white lightning bolt, streaking across the skies of Central City, leaving behind trails of light and falling Mechanical Samurai. After dealing with these guys, he shut off the Speed Force.
Current Speed Force remaining: 83%
Could he use the Speed Force like this four or five more times?
Qingshui watched as Wally, in his yellow lightning Avatar, collected the Mechanical Samurai wreckage below, then silently changed direction and flew back.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!
