Chapter 368: Golden Glider and the DominatorsFrightened Away by Su Sheng
"I'm in a good mood today, and in a while, I'll get to see an interesting competition, so feel free to tell me what wishes you have, and I'll grant them!" Su Shengchuckled and squeezed Lisa, listening to her low hum. He said with a smile: "What do you wish for? Do you want to become stronger?"
"Yes!" Lisa said without hesitation.
"Good, no problem." Su Sheng chuckled and once again used the Anti-Life Equation's ability to change reality and bestow powers upon Lisa. "Get up and see."
Lisa curiously got up, and with a thought, in an instant, her body transformed, directly becoming a golden, transparent-like entity. "From now on, you can be called Golden Glider. Your ability allows you to fly and pass through objects. From now on, the world is your oyster, wherever you glide."
"That's amazing!" Lisa excitedly tried it out. Indeed, she could fly freely. The ceiling and walls seemed to not exist for her as she moved through them at will.
Excited, she returned to Su Sheng's side, deactivated her power, and passionately embraced Su Sheng, giving him a deep kiss.
After a long while, Lisa finally released him, panting, and lay in Su Sheng's arms.
"What about you all?" Su Sheng looked at Laura, Qiong Mu'en, Tracy Thirteen, and Bombshell Betty.
Creating something out of nothing, instantly bestowing superpowers upon ordinary people—this god-like ability astonished them all. Bombshell Betty was the first to speak, hoping to freely use her abilities. Following her was Laura. Laura's wish was simple: she wanted to go back to her own era to see her mother. Tracy Thirteen's wish was simple: she wanted to learn more powerful magic.
As for Qiong Mu'en, she had no wishes.
Su Sheng granted Betty's request and told Trajectory to take Laura back in time to see her mother, who was Silk Spectre I, a member of the Minutemen, the predecessor of the Watchmen. As for Tracy Thirteen wanting to learn more and stronger magic, Su Sheng also agreed, but not now.
Under the night sky.
The war outside continued, and in the villa's bedroom, Su Sheng, in a good mood, called Lisa, Betty, and Trajectory into the room together.
"Come, line up and lie down." Su Sheng had the three line up and lie down, then instantly activated the Speed Force.
In an instant.
The Speed Force lightning glowed, but it wasn't azure blue.
It was black?
Black Speed Force lightning?
Su Sheng was somewhat surprised and stunned. Was it because he had allowed Trajectory to fully possess the Speed Force and become a time messenger, so the Speed Force had upgraded in some way, and thus its color had changed?
After his surprise, Su Sheng curved his lips and moved instantly.
Almost in an instant, Bombshell Betty, Golden GliderLisa, and Trajectory seemed to simultaneously feel Su Sheng's invasion, followed by an indescribable, unimaginable act of speeding. The Speed Force that Su Sheng unleashed alternated between the three of them. Even Trajectory, who had become a time messenger and was faster, couldn't keep up with Su Sheng's speed.
To them, it didn't seem like one against three, but rather one against one, with three matches happening simultaneously.
The main thing was that it was fast, too fast!
Perhaps in a single breath, a single blink, Su Sheng had already alternated between the three. This speed and time meant they couldn't even feel him leaving or the difference.
It was sunny, and the streets were a mess.
The Dominators, who had been causing destruction everywhere, seemed to have vanished overnight, and even their bodies were gone. Flash, who woke up in the morning, heard Laura say that before dawn, many traction and teleportation rays seemed to appear in the sky, transporting these Dominator bodies away one by one.
"It looks like the Dominators have been dealt with. I wonder what method was used." Su Sheng casually opened his wristband while drinking coffee to retrieve some information. He quickly understood what happened last night and why the Dominators retreated.
After the Legend Team was teleported to the Dominators' lair, they found the captured Flash. After rescuing Flash, they had a slight disagreement. Some felt they should return to Earth first and then figure something out, while others felt they should seize this opportunity to resolve the Dominators, as this was their stronghold, and many knew the principle of catching the ringleader first.
But just as they hadn't reached a conclusion, Batmanfinally pinpointed the location of the Dominators' lair battleship through satellites and technology from the Dominator warship. Then, Superman, Green Lantern, and Red Lantern Mera were directly teleported onto the battleship.
This also stunned Flash and the Legend Team.
With Superman's show of force and the identity intimidation from Green Lantern and Red Lantern, the Dominators finally decided to retreat from Earth. Leaving aside Superman's intimidation, as a relatively brutal race in the universe, they had naturally heard of Green Lantern, the cosmic police, and Red Lantern, the corps of rage. The most important thing was the 'Sheng' emblem on Red Lantern's uniform.
This 'Sheng' emblem is now very famous in the universe.
The Rainbow Corps!
Although it hadn't been specifically publicized, and only Blue Lantern of the Rainbow Corps was active in the universe, the Lantern Beasts of the Seven Lantern Corps being stolen, many leaders being killed, especially half of the Green Lantern Corps' headquarters on Oa being destroyed, and the Guardians of the Universe almost all dying, along with the news of the original Green Lantern Sinestro wearing both green and yellow rings to try and regain prestige, had all spread.
Perhaps Su Sheng's name and appearance are relatively unfamiliar to most people in the universe.
But the 'Sheng' emblem still has high recognition.
This is why the Dominators initially didn't understand the situation in Central City and hadn't had time to gather more intelligence from Flash. Otherwise, the Dominators would never have attacked Laura and the others at the Central City villa, and might have even retreated directly much earlier. No matter how fierce the Dominators are, they can't be fiercer than the Seven Lantern Corps! So the Dominators retreated, not only teleporting all the Dominators on Earth back but also teleporting other people back to Earth.
After understanding the situation, Su Sheng was at a loss for words. So, after all that fuss, he didn't even show up or make a move, and merely Mera's 'Sheng' emblem forced the Dominators to retreat?
What kind of situation is this!
They call themselves Dominators, yet after all that, they were scared away by his 'Sheng' emblem.
While Su Sheng was complaining about the Dominators' cowardice, the Justice League and Legend Team members were shocked by Su Sheng's power!
Just a symbol could scare away the brutal Dominatorsin the universe. This… this is too exaggerated, isn't it?
Chapter 369: Is the philosopher's stone stolen?
Disciple, prison area.
Vixen, who had been locked up for a night, quickly got up when she saw Su Sheng enter.
"What have you decided?" Su Sheng had just finished taking pictures of Bomb Girl, Golden Glider, and Trajectory and hung them in the collection room.
"Do I have a choice?" Vixen said bitterly.
"So you agree?" Su Sheng smiled and waved his hand, opening the cell. After Vixen walked out, Su Shengraised his hand and put a wristband on her. "A communication device. Notify me if you find other totems. Also… you don't need to wear the totem now to use its abilities. I've helped you with this, after all, external objects like totems can easily be taken away!"
Vixen was stunned and subconsciously thought about it. In an instant, the power of the totem manifested behind her.
"This, how did you do it?" Using the totem's power without the totem itself? As a successor of the totem, Vixen had never heard of such a thing.
Su Sheng shrugged noncommittally. "Remember, when I gather all the totems, that's when I'll help you save your homeland from disaster. So, you'd better act fast!"
Saying that, Su Sheng pinched Vixen's chin, making her tilt her head slightly, and kissed her. The unexpected action stunned Vixen. When she reacted, Su Sheng had already let go of her. "Let's go, the person picking you up has arrived."
Vixen had to give up what she wanted to say and followed Su Sheng out.
Outside the villa.
The Legend Team returned in the Waverider. Seeing Su Sheng return with Vixen, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Steel Citizen immediately asked Vixen with concern, "Are you alright? He, he didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Vixen shook her head.
"We're leaving first." White Canary Sara nodded to Su Sheng, preparing to take her people away.
Su Sheng nodded but suddenly said to Vixen, "That kiss felt good. I'll come find you when I have time."
Kiss?
Who kissed whom?
The Legend Team members subconsciously looked at Vixen. Vixen subconsciously wanted to explain, but seeing Su Sheng's half-smile, she couldn't get the words out. Seeing this, everyone said nothing, turned, and boarded the Waverider to leave. Steel Citizen, however, looked a bit disappointed. Indeed, Steel Citizen had originally wanted to take advantage of proximity, but now it seemed Vixen had caught Su Sheng's eye.
His chances were slim!
Su Sheng chuckled and then activated the Speed Force, going directly to S.T.A.R. Labs.
The black Speed Force lightning looked quite special, and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived at S.T.A.R. Labs.
Inside the lab, Caitlin and Cisco were examining Flash, while Iris and Joe nervously waited for the results. Fortunately, Flash's body was fine and there were no problems.
"You don't have the philosopher's stone? Since you didn't use it, then return it to me." Su Sheng said directly.
"That…" Iris hesitated.
The expressions of the others were also a bit strange.
Seeing this, Su Sheng couldn't help but chuckle. "Let me guess, with your reaction… did you dispose of the philosopher's stone yourselves?"
The philosopher's stone was the key to releasing Savitar. Last time Savitar came out, he tormented Flashbadly, so for safety, and even for Iris's safety, it was understandable that they wanted to dispose of the philosopher's stone themselves. And unlike in the TV series where they didn't know the true purpose of the philosopher's stone and thus didn't dare to destroy it, throwing it into the Speed Force instead, it was highly likely they would have destroyed the philosopher's stone. (Note: The user provided a glossary that includes "philosopher's stone" for both Philosopher's Stone and Philosopher's Stone. I have used "philosopher's stone" for both as per the instruction.)
"I wish we had disposed of it." Iris muttered bitterly, then Flash spoke up, "The philosopher's stone is gone."
"Gone?" Su Sheng was genuinely surprised. How could they lose something as important as the philosopher's stone?
Releasing his psychic ability, Su Sheng checked their memories to see if it was truly lost or if they were trying to fool him. The result showed it was indeed lost. Originally, the philosopher's stone was kept in S.T.A.R. Labs. When the Dominators appeared, Flash went out to fight, and everyone was busy dealing with the Dominators. However, after the Dominator incident, they discovered that the philosopher's stone was gone, along with its box. (Note: The user provided a glossary that includes "philosopher's stone" for both Philosopher's Stone and Philosopher's Stone. I have used "philosopher's stone" for both as per the instruction.)
They had originally planned to take out the philosopher's stone and destroy it, but after the stone went missing, they checked the surveillance but found no clues. However, they discovered another thing: the Black Lantern Ring from the previous Blackest Nightwas also gone. They didn't know if it disappeared at the same time, or… if it had been lost much earlier.
"It really is gone." Su Sheng didn't care if the philosopher's stone was lost or not. Even if Savitarreally escaped, he wouldn't be able to cause much trouble. (Note: The user provided a glossary that includes "philosopher's stone" for both Philosopher's Stone and Philosopher's Stone. I have used "philosopher's stone" for both as per the instruction.)
He was curious: who stole the philosopher's stone? (Note: The user provided a glossary that includes "philosopher's stone" for both Philosopher's Stone and Philosopher's Stone. I have used "philosopher's stone" for both as per the instruction.)
Savitar should only have one subordinate, Alchemist. Although Alchemist had a few supporters, they were just ordinary people and had no ability to steal the philosopher's stone stealthily. Or was it those few people whose memories and abilities were slightly returned before? After all, Su Sheng had also looked for a few villains from the TV series who gained powers before.
But these people had no chance to contact Savitar, nor could they know about the philosopher's stone. (Note: The user provided a glossary that includes "philosopher's stone" for both Philosopher's Stone and Philosopher's Stone. I have used "philosopher's stone" for both as per the instruction.)
That's interesting then.
Who else could know about the philosopher's stoneand be able to steal it? (Note: The user provided a glossary that includes "philosopher's stone" for both Philosopher's Stone and Philosopher's Stone. I have used "philosopher's stone" for both as per the instruction.)
The Black Lantern Ring was stolen by Talia before, but the philosopher's stone should have nothing to do with Talia. She was busy setting up the Black Lantern Corpsin Gotham and couldn't possibly know about the philosopher's stone. (Note: The user provided a glossary that includes "philosopher's stone" for both Philosopher's Stone and Philosopher's Stone. I have used "philosopher's stone" for both as per the instruction.)
The black Speed Force light glowed, and under the astonished gazes of Flash and the others, Su Shengbegan to travel through time.
He directly traveled back to the previous night, when the philosopher's stone was lost. (Note: The user provided a glossary that includes "philosopher's stone" for both Philosopher's Stone and Philosopher's Stone. I have used "philosopher's stone" for both as per the instruction.)
At this time, the Dominators were still rampant outside, and everyone else was busy researching how to deal with them. Su Sheng, invisible, came to where the philosopher's stone was stored and waited quietly, wanting to see who exactly stole the philosopher's stone.
Time passed minute by minute, with no abnormalities around. The philosopher's stone lay perfectly in its box, and the box was securely placed in a locked cabinet.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Sheng suddenly heard a faint sound.
It sounded like something loosening. Su Sheng looked up at the sound and saw that the ceiling vent had been removed and moved aside. Then, a nimble, tall figure jumped down. Dressed in a black, tight-fitting suit and wearing a mask, their appearance was unclear, but from their figure, it was clearly a curvaceous woman!
Chapter 370: The Blacksmith: Amunet
As soon as the woman landed, she went straight for the locked cabinet. She opened it easily and quietly, took out the box containing the philosopher's stone, and without opening it, returned the way she came. Impressive.
The entire process was smooth and flowing, taking no more than five minutes.
She left no trace, as if no one had ever appeared. Su Sheng specifically noted that there were no surveillance cameras in the room, which was why they hadn't found any clues.
"A bit interesting," Su Sheng chuckled softly as he traveled back in time.
Seeing Su Sheng return, Caitlin asked curiously.
"To see how the philosopher's stone was lost," Su Sheng said casually.
"Are there any clues?" Iris asked next.
Su Sheng shook his head without speaking, which instantly disappointed them.
Of course, Su Sheng had clues. Although the woman had covered her face, it was useless to him. Knowing what the woman looked like made it much easier to investigate her identity. However, Su Sheng didn't want to tip her off. The fact that she could sneak in so easily and go directly for the philosopher's stone clearly showed she had a certain understanding of S.T.A.R. Labs!
After leaving S.T.A.R. Labs, Su Sheng searched the internet based on the woman's appearance. Soon, he knew her identity.
Amunet Black.
Codename: Blacksmith.
A very powerful criminal in Central City. Although Central City has Flash, Amunet lived very comfortably under his nose. She ran a very famous underground black market, providing drugs, weapons, and information to various criminals, while also selling drugs herself, among other things.
"This woman called Blacksmith seems to be a character who only appeared in Flash Season 4, right? Caitlinworked for her after leaving Flash Team, hoping to curb Killer Frost, but unfortunately, she still failed in the end," Su Sheng recalled. She could control a metal called 'Aleco alloy' as a weapon, and she was quite vicious.
However.
Why did she steal the philosopher's stone? It shouldn't be for herself or simply to sell for money, right? The reason she lived so comfortably was because she was mostly low-key and wouldn't easily provoke Flash.
Either someone offered a price for the philosopher's stone, or someone hired her to steal it.
At the villa.
Su Sheng summoned Golden Glider, Lisa.
"Do you know Amunet?" Su Sheng asked.
Lisa said, "The Blacksmith? Central City's biggest black market boss. What about her?"
"Do you know where to find her?" Su Sheng asked again.
Lisa thought for a moment: "Her location is erratic, no one knows where she'll be, but I know a place where you might be able to contact her."
"Where?"
"That place is best visited at night," Lisa said with a charming smile.
"Okay, then take me tonight."
Time flew, and soon night fell.
"Golden Gate Joy?" Su Sheng looked up at the flickering neon sign, then turned to Lisa. "A bar?"
"Something like that," Lisa nodded with a smile.
The two entered. Inside, the lights were dim, and there were quite a few men and women. Coming down the stairs, they saw a T-stage where women in sequined bikinis were dancing sensuously. A man carrying a box walked over, seemingly to collect phones to prevent photos, indicating good secrecy.
"We're looking for your boss," Lisa said directly.
The man shook his head: "The boss isn't here."
"My name is Lisa, your boss should have heard of me," Lisa said again.
The man hesitated for a moment but still shook his head: "Our boss is indeed not here, but if you need anything, you can tell me, and I can relay it to our boss."
"Oh, really? But... my boss can't wait that long. If she's not here, tell her to come quickly!" Lisa snorted, and her body instantly transformed. The next moment, she began to wreak havoc in the bar. A moment later, screams erupted in the bar, customers fled in panic, and the dancers ran backstage. The bar's staff immediately opened fire, trying to deal with Lisa, but how could Lisa, with superpowers, be dealt with by these small fry? Before long, all the bar staff were lying on the ground. Lisa transformed back, poured Su Sheng a drink, and said with a smile, "I believe their boss will be back very soon."
"Mm!"
Su Sheng walked to the side and sat down, looking at the pole on the T-stage and thinking of Harley Quinn.
"Can you dance?" Su Sheng asked Lisa.
Lisa didn't speak. Although she couldn't dance, she certainly couldn't say she couldn't now. She strode onto the T-stage, and Lisa began to dance. She hadn't eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run, right? No need to be overly revealing, just a hint of seduction was enough. Soon, footsteps were heard at the entrance, not many, sounding like only two people.
A man and a woman walked over.
The woman wore a leather trench coat, her curves prominent, and her tied-up hair and features looked sharp. The man was slightly behind her, one eye seemed to be fake, and his expression was somewhat fierce.
Amunet first glanced at Lisa dancing on the stage, recognized her, and then looked at Su Sheng, who was sitting and drinking.
Amunet narrowed her eyes, walked to Su Sheng's opposite side, and sat down.
"I never thought it would be you who wanted to see me. This truly makes me feel honored."
"Where is it?" Su Sheng took a sip of wine and asked casually.
Amunet was stunned. "What thing?"
"You took something that doesn't belong to you. Don't you know yourself?" Su Sheng said lightly, looking at the man behind Amunet, and gently raised his palm.
In an instant.
The man slowly floated up as if someone had choked him.
Amunet's expression changed. "Su Sheng, what is the meaning of this?"
"You were calling me 'Sir' just now, and now you're calling me by my name directly?" Su Sheng pouted, and as he turned his palm, there was a 'crack' sound, and the man's neck broke directly, followed by a 'thud' as he fell to the ground. "His name is Snake Eyes? One eye is fake, and tentacles can extend from it? Don't you find such a subordinate disgusting to have around?"
"Let me give you a hint: S.T.A.R. Labs!"
...
P.S.: The Blacksmith, Amunet, is a character who appeared in Flash Season 4, Episode 5.
Chapter 371: The Birth of Kid Flash and Savitar's Escape
I knew that thing wasn't simple. I thought the Flashwould come looking for it, but it was you instead!" Amunet suddenly understood. So it was for this item. She paused, then said sincerely, "I did steal the item, but it's no longer in my possession. Someone offered a large sum for it, and I just delivered it before coming here."
"I don't know who the other party is. When I delivered it, he just told me to leave it on the bus. For that, I even took a bus that I hadn't ridden in a long time. But I didn't see anyone at all. I even specifically sent someone to track the bus, but they didn't see any suspicious individuals, yet the item was gone. The payment he gave me was directly placed in my temporary residence. I really want to know who he is now!" Amunet said.
Her psychic abilities were released, and what she said was indeed true.
It seems this mastermind is very well hidden.
"Let's go." Su Sheng pouted, stood up, and turned around. Lisa jumped down from the stage, glanced at Amunet, who was still a bit bewildered but getting up, and her left hand suddenly transformed. Before Amunet could react, it directly pierced her chest.
"Uh…" Amunet slowly collapsed, twitching in pain.
Lisa caught up with Su Sheng.
"I had a bit of a grudge with her before," Lisa explained.
Su Sheng acknowledged, not caring at all. He was thinking about who would want the philosopher's stone. This time, he didn't travel through time to check. Firstly, there was no need to waste time on this matter. Secondly, Amunet must have investigated, and since she found nothing, there was no need for him to investigate either. The other party must be very well hidden, so it was better to just wait.
No matter who took the philosopher's stone, they would eventually expose themselves!
And that was indeed the case.
On the third day after the Dominators left Central Cityand order was restored, another person from the Flashpoint World timeline regained their memories and abilities. It was none other than Iris's brother, Joe's son, Kid Flash Wally West. For some unknown reason, perhaps due to Flashpoint or something else, although the Flash had told everyone that Wally was Kid Flash in the Flashpoint World, Wally actually didn't know that the Flash's true identity was Barry Allen. However, after gaining his memories and abilities, Wally naturally found out, as these were not secrets in the Flashpoint World. But he did not plan to reveal to Iris and the Flashthat he had gained abilities, mainly because he didn't know about the philosopher's stone or the existence of Savitar.
He wanted to quietly improve his strength. After all, he had died in the Flashpoint World, and he knew that the Flash was faster than him. Being young and impetuous, he wanted to wait until his speed surpassed Barry's before revealing this matter. Moreover, the person who returned his abilities and memories often appeared, using a very scientific and perfect method to help him increase his speed.
Under such training, Kid Flash's speed progressed rapidly, and soon he had caught up with the Flash's speed and was on track to surpass him.
Unbeknownst to them, a month had passed just like that.
Whoosh!
The Speed Force light flickered, and Kid Flash, wearing his uniform, appeared in a deserted alley. He looked around and quickly saw a figure emerge from the shadows.
A woman in a long white trench coat, with a box tucked under her arm.
It was the box containing the philosopher's stone.
"Are you ready? Today is the day to prove whether you can surpass the Flash. Your speed is already faster than his, but… you still can't open a time breach, you can't travel through time. I hope you can do it!" The woman slowly spoke.
Kid Flash was not unfamiliar with her. Although he didn't know her true identity, she was the one who restored his abilities and memories, and she had also been helping him improve during this time. "I will succeed!" Kid Flash said, then began to run in fast circles.
Round and round.
The Speed Force lightning grew brighter and brighter, and a swirling time breach gradually appeared not far away.
"I succeeded!" Kid Flash stopped, excitedly.
"Yes, you succeeded!" The woman chuckled softly and suddenly threw the box in her hand into the breach.
"What is that?" Kid Flash asked subconsciously…
"You'll know very soon." The woman chuckled and actually turned and left.
Kid Flash was stunned and about to chase after her to ask, when a powerful suction suddenly generated from the breach, instantly pulling him in. He tried to struggle but couldn't break free, instead getting closer and closer.
"Ah…" Kid Flash exclaimed, and his entire body was directly pulled into the breach.
Not long after, a figure slowly emerged from the breach. Black and blue armor appeared, and Savitar leaped out from inside.
The breach closed instantly.
Savitar knelt on the ground, shouting to the sky. "I'm finally out, finally out!"
Clap!
A soft clapping sound abruptly rang out, instantly interrupting Savitar's celebration. Savitar turned his head and saw that someone had appeared not far from him at some unknown point.
"It's you!"
Savitar's voice held both worry and anger.
Because this person was none other than Su Sheng.
"Surprised? Although I don't know how you got someone to steal the philosopher's stone and release you, as soon as you came out, I naturally had a way of knowing." Su Sheng had copied the abilities of the philosopher's stone, so when the Speed Force Prisonopened, he could naturally feel it.
"You want the Speed Force, you can have it!"
"Kid Flash has been trapped inside, you can take the Speed Force from him," Savitar said in a deep voice. "Don't stop me!"
"You mean, you want me to not just focus on you?" Su Sheng asked with a smile.
"My grievances with the Flash have nothing to do with you. I can guarantee that Caitlin won't be implicated. That idiot Kid Flash is easier to manipulate, isn't he?" Savitar said.
"It does sound like it has no impact, so… your existence is unnecessary!" Su Sheng's lips curled up, and Savitarinstantly had an uneasy premonition. Without thinking, the brilliant blue Speed Force lightning instantly lit up.
He just ran away.
"Run, can you get away?" Su Sheng chuckled and directly chased after him!
Chapter 372: The Tragic Savitar and the Self-Destructing Time Wraith
Su Sheng had originally planned to absorb the Speed Force origin through Savitar and also have him be his Time Wraith to do some dirty and tiring work, but absorbing the Speed Force origin was just an untested idea and certainly not that easy, let alone that Savitarwas not the only suitable candidate. As for the Time Wraith, Trajectory was enough now, so Savitar didn't necessarily have to exist!
Moreover, if Savitar was just allowed to escape and cause trouble, wouldn't that make him look bad?
The blue lightning flashed rapidly, and in a moment, a black lightning bolt caught up in the blink of an eye. Su Sheng lightly patted Savitar's shoulder, and Savitar was suddenly startled.
So, so fast!
Even faster than before?
The surprised Savitar hastily changed direction, trying to dodge, but his armor felt as heavy as a thousand pounds at that moment, making him unable to move and causing him to fall directly to the ground, caught off guard.
Sizzle, sizzle!
A long mark was etched on the ground, and electric light flickered faintly.
"My armor…" Savitar was horrified to find that he couldn't move his armor at all. In his panic, he could only quickly vibrate and phase out of the armor.
As soon as he came out, he wanted to leave, but Su Sheng blocked his path, looking at him with a smile.
That face was identical to Barry Allen's, except half of his face was completely covered in scars, making him look somewhat ugly and frightening.
"Why, why won't you let me go!" Savitar shouted at Su Sheng.
Su Sheng shrugged. "No reason."
"You…"
Don't get so excited. Reason? If reasoning was truly effective, this world would have been harmonious long ago, and there would be no criminals at all. Many things are beyond reason, so you might as well just die peacefully." Black Speed Force lightning flared, and Su Sheng appeared before Savitar, directly grabbing his neck and lifting him up. His other hand rapidly vibrated into a high-speed hand blade.
Boom!
A time rift instantly opened, and a monster like a Time Wraith flew out from within.
It was a Time Wraith of the Speed Force.
Su Sheng glanced at it, a smile playing on his lips. "It seems there might be an unexpected gain today."
Pfft!
The high-speed hand blade directly pierced Savitar's heart. Savitar twitched in pain, his body beginning to dissolve into light, gradually dissipating, until with a whoosh, he drilled into Su Sheng's body.
Boom!
The time rift reappeared. The Time Wraith that had been rushing over seemed to know Savitar was dead and intended to leave. But would Su Sheng let it go? This was his first time seeing a Time Wraith. In the blink of an eye, he blocked the Time Wraith and reached out to grab it.
What is a Time Wraith?
They are the envoys of the Speed Force; any speedster they touch will instantly wither, their life force rapidly draining away until they become like zombies. Even powerful figures like Reverse-Flash or Savitar would want to run far away and not approach, but Su Shengactively touched it. The moment Su Sheng grabbed the Time Wraith, the Time Wraith's hand also grabbed Su Sheng's wrist.
In that instant, Su Sheng felt the Time Wraith absorbing his life force.
At the same time, Copy.
Su Sheng showed no change; his life force did not drain, nor did his body become sunken or shriveled.
Death?
He had copied Black Death Emperor's ability; to some extent, he represented Death. Even Black Death Emperor and the Anti-Life Equation couldn't kill him, so a mere Time Wraith naturally couldn't. On the contrary, when Su Sheng began to use the Time Wraith's ability and counterattacked, the situation became somewhat different. Speed Force, Speed Force Origin Force rapidly surged from the Time Wraith.
It was very strong, very substantial.
Time Wraiths represent the Speed Force, hunting down disobedient speedsters and converting them into Speed Force energy. This means Time Wraiths are interconnected with the Speed Force. This discovery instantly delighted Su Sheng, as he felt that what he was absorbing was the Speed Force Origin Force, not just pure Speed Force. Although he didn't know if continued absorption would lead to a give-and-take, his Speed Force energy definitely increased.
"Bang!"
Before Su Sheng could get too excited, the Time Wraithsuddenly exploded in place, dissipating into thin air in an instant.
"How stingy!" Su Sheng pouted. Clearly, the Speed Force had detected his absorption and simply sacrificed the Time Wraith.
While the Speed Force is the source of speed for speedsters, a special power, it also possesses self-awareness. In the TV series, the Speed Force often appeared in the form of Barry Allen's mother. "Forget it, there will be other opportunities in the future." Su Sheng mumbled, preparing to leave, when a yellow lightning bolt suddenly appeared before him.
It was Flash, Barry Allen.
"Why are you here?" Su Sheng asked casually.
"Wally, did Wally regain his Flashpoint timeline memories and abilities and get, get caught by Savitar in the Speed Force?" Barry asked eagerly as soon as he appeared.
"How did you know?" Su Sheng asked casually.
"The lab's computer was hacked. Someone showed us a video of Wally being sucked into the Speed Force, with Savitar and you appearing in it. Was Wally really caught in the Speed Force? And, that armor, that's Savitar's, right? Where is he?" Barry said quickly.
"Someone actively provided you with a video? It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes has some plan." Su Sheng ignored Barry's urgency and first mumbled to himself, then said, "Savitar has already been killed by me. As for Kid Flash, he was indeed caught in the Speed Force, imprisoned in the Speed Force Prison in place of Savitar!"
Barry Allen took off his cowl and clutched his hair, looking annoyed. "How could this happen!"
"Who told you not to properly guard the philosopher's stone? Now that the philosopher's stone has been thrown into the Speed Force, if you want to save Wally, you can only go into the Speed Force. And… don't say I didn't warn you, the Speed Force Prison must contain a speedster, otherwise the Speed Force will collapse, and at that time, the entire world will be finished." Su Shengsaid, patting Barry Allen's shoulder, a thought suddenly flashing through his mind.
The mastermind behind this series of events, could it be him?

PS: I recommend my completed old novel "Marvel: King's Landing," which is a multi-world mashup. "marvel: immortal throne" features two worlds, Marveland DC. "marvel: door-door fruit" is purely a Marvel World novel. "my date with a vampire: the strongest death god" is set in the world of "My Date with a Vampire," integrated with other horror and supernatural films. If you find searching for books troublesome, you can directly search my pen name: Marvel King. All my books use this one pen name!
Chapter 373: Is the Thinker the Mastermind?
Ignoring the annoyed Barry Allen, Su Sheng released the Speed Force and returned directly to the villa.
As soon as the Speed Force was activated, Su Shengsuddenly noticed that the color of his Speed Force had changed again, turning white. He didn't know if it was because he had absorbed Savitar or the Speed ForceOrigin Force, but either way, it wasn't a bad thing.
"Whoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, Su Sheng was back in the villa.
In the villa, Tracy Thirteen was cultivating magic in her room, Trajectory had taken Laura back in time to see Laura's mother, Golden Glider Lisa was already asleep, leaving only Qiong Mu'en still awake, sitting in the living room in a long nightgown, waiting for Su Shengto return. After Laura left, Qiong Mu'en basically took charge of some of the household affairs, as she was the only one among them without special abilities.
At least for now.
Su Sheng lay on the sofa, his legs resting on Qiong Mu'en's lap, deep in thought. Seeing this, Qiong Mu'endid not disturb him, merely sitting quietly.
"Flash has many enemies, but if we consider one big boss per season, Season One was Reverse-Flash, Season Two was Zoom, Season Three was Savitar, and Season Four finally features a non-speedster, even a Thinker who struggles with movement! Although this guy has no speed, his mind and thoughts are faster than speed, and he managed to leave Flash helpless even after his identity was exposed, forcing Flash's identity to be revealed!"
"His calculation ability far exceeds any computer or artificial intelligence. He can deduce countless possibilities, countless outcomes. I remember in the TV series, after Barry Allen was imprisoned in the Speed Force Prison in place of others, it was the Thinker who forced the Flash Team to find a way to rescue Flash, using the dark matter generated at the moment Flashemerged to create a bus full of twelve metahumans. Then, he meticulously planned, step by step, to claim the abilities of these twelve metahumans for himself, and ultimately almost destroyed the world."
The person Su Sheng had suddenly thought of was the Thinker.
The Thinker, whose real name is Clifford DeVoe, was a mild-mannered professor who dreamed of expanding people's minds. His wife, Marlize, used her engineering skills to help him create the Thinking Cap, which could enhance his thinking abilities. But this required powerful, unknown energy, so he set his sights on the particle accelerator. Thus, they attended the particle accelerator's activation press conference. When the particle accelerator exploded, DeVoe put on the Thinking Cap and was struck by lightning, simultaneously affected by the dark matter energy from the particle accelerator's explosion. When he woke up, he possessed super-high intelligence, but it wasn't long before he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which simply meant he lost his mobility and his condition accelerated. His wife developed a hovering chair to alleviate his suffering, and eventually, DeVoe evolved into a Cyborg with a god complex.
He meticulously planned to threaten Central City with Japanese samurai robots, forcing the Flash Team to rescue Flash, who was imprisoned in the Speed Force. When Flash appeared, it also created twelve bus passengers who became metahumans, and then he began to steal their abilities.
Su Sheng thought of the Thinker for several reasons: First, the Thinker was not an effect of Flashpoint. His high intelligence was sufficient to understand the function of the philosopher's stone and some details of Flashpoint without anyone knowing, because he might have been targeting Barry Allen for a long time. Of course, it's also possible that Savitar knew of the Thinker's existence, so he might have established contact or cooperation with the Thinker during the Alchemist period. Although Savitar also came out of the Speed Force Prison, unlike Flash, Savitar couldn't bring out dark matter, so the Thinker had a reason to help Savitar escape, calculating to trap Barry Allen in the Speed Force. Second, the bus. The Blacksmith said she put the philosopher's stone on a bus, and the Thinker, DeVoe, also used a bus to create metahumans. The two might not be directly related, but it's easy to connect them.
"If it really is the Thinker, he must have calculated Barry Allen's personality, knowing he would sacrifice himself to get Kid Flash out. Then he would force them to rescue Flash, and in that case, twelve metahumans would quickly be born. I remember there were quite a few interesting ability users among them, such as Elongated Man, Trajectory, and so on!" Su Sheng's lips curled slightly. Elongated Man is a veteran hero in the DC World, a member of the Justice League. His ability is very interesting, with two reference points.
Mister Fantastic from the Fantastic Four, and Luffy from One Piece.
Their abilities are identical.
It seems quite interesting to bring him over and CopyLuffy's skills? But what truly made Su Sheng feel interesting was Trajectory. This woman is definitely exceptional, not in terms of appearance or figure, but in terms of her luck. Her first half of life was almost never lucky, as if cursed, she couldn't find anyone more unlucky than her, but she gained an ability similar to changing luck.
As long as she gained good luck, those around her would suffer bad luck. Flash tried to catch her twice; once he fell due to a glass sphere, and another time he tried to use metahuman-restraining handcuffs to catch someone but ended up handcuffing himself first. Eventually, this magnetic field of luck almost affected the entire Central City, causing many coincidental disasters.
This ability reminded Su Sheng of Final Destination, where a series of unpredictable coincidences change the course of events, ultimately leading to Death.
Su Sheng really wanted this ability.
Although using reality-altering methods could achieve the same effect, or even directly bestowing abilities on others, it wouldn't be as interesting, would it? And he can alter reality, but others can too, and the Origin Wallwould also interfere, how boring. What if he accidentally provoked God or something, Su Shengwasn't sure if he could easily Copy them.
As the strongest deity in the DC World, although Su Sheng would meet and Copy his abilities sooner or later, it wasn't now.
How powerful was Disciple in Marvel Comics? How great was the potential of that ability? Yet he was too arrogant and reckless, and was countered before he even became strong enough.
…
PS: The Thinker is the main villain of Flash Season 4.
Chapter 374: High IQ Is Useless Too!
Indigo's power was unleashed, stacking up.
Su Sheng began searching for the Thinker on the internet. Knowing his identity and name, it wasn't difficult to find him.
Looking up at the quiet Qiong Mu'en, Su Sheng got up and took her back to the room. Before long, Qiong Mu'en was already moaning with effort, followed by waves of seductive sounds.
The night quietly passed, and two guests arrived at the villa around noon the next day.
Iris and Caitlin.
Their purpose was obvious: they wanted to ask Su Sheng if he had a way to rescue Kid Flash, because after a night of contemplation, Barry Allen felt that all of this was his responsibility due to Flashpoint, so he planned to go into the Speed Force Prison and replace Kid Flash. Tsk tsk, what a noble spirit! Sacrificing oneself to save others, this is a hero!
In the TV series, initially, Earth Three Flash temporarily replaced Kid Flash, but that was because they had met and formed a series of connections during the Zoomperiod. Because of Su Sheng, Barry didn't know Earth Three Flash, so naturally, he couldn't come to help. What's more, Kid Flash brought it upon himself; where in this world does pie fall from the sky? If someone helps you restore your abilities and even increases your speed, how could they have no ulterior motives? One must be wary of others; without any vigilance, he deserved to suffer.
"Currently, only Barry can replace Kid Flash," Su Shengsaid to Iris, pulling Caitlin into his arms.
Iris didn't speak, and Caitlin whispered, "Can't you create another speedster like Trajectory?"
Trajectory's birth owed much to Caitlin's efforts.
Su Sheng smiled, "I can, but my Speed Force is different from Barry's. Even if the replacement component temporarily tricks it using Barry's Speed Force, don't forget that the serum's effect is temporary. Once it wears off, the result will be the same. If you ask me, you should just let Barry go in; after all, he's the Speed Force's favorite son, and going in will only bring benefits, not harm. You can use this time to figure out how to rescue Barry."
"It's not that easy," Caitlin said bitterly.
"I never said it was an easy thing, did I? But it will succeed," Su Sheng said with a smile.
"Really?" When others say it will succeed, it might just be comfort, but Su Sheng is different; what he says might be true.
Su Sheng smiled noncommittally. First, he would get Flash into the Speed Force. If it really was the Thinker's doing, he would definitely find a way to get Flash out, and then there would be fun.
Caitlin and Iris didn't stay long before leaving, presumably to go back and brainstorm.
Su Sheng, on the other hand, was preparing to meet the Thinker, or more accurately, the Thinker's wife. As the Thinker's assistant and plan executor, Marlize's engineering skills were very high, especially in helping the Thinker transform into a Cyborg, which meant she also had a lot of research in neurology. Perhaps she could help him improve and upgrade his mecha. Secondly, the Thinker's plan needed Marlize to execute it, so she must understand all the dynamics of the Thinker's plan.
The sound of trickling water echoed as Marlize was showering in the bathroom.
Su Sheng was also surprised when he appeared invisibly; who would have thought Marlize would be showering in the middle of the day? However, Su Shengadmired the Thinker a bit; he was so old, his body was ruined, but his wife was relatively young and had a good figure. Releasing his psychic ability, Marlize's movements instantly stopped. Water flowed down her body, and she stood motionless in the bathtub.
Extracting memories.
Su Sheng's lips curled slightly; the philosopher's stonereally was the Thinker's doing. Simply put, the Thinkerhad been monitoring Flash, understanding his movements, including Flashpoint, the Alchemist, and even the matters of the philosopher's stone and Savitar. He knew all about them, and he was much smarter than Flash. With only a few clues, he deduced Savitar's identity. It must be said that his intelligence development was truly frightening. After learning this series of information, the Thinker naturally had an idea, and then came the theft of the philosopher's stone, returning Kid Flash's abilities to help him increase his speed, and having him replace Savitar. He even guessed that he would kill Savitar.
No, it should be considered a deduction.
The overall plan was the same as Su Sheng had imagined: let Flash enter the Speed Force, then the Flash Team would rescue him, and at the moment Flashcame out, twelve bus meta-humans would be created. Of course, Su Sheng could guess this because he already knew it, standing on the shoulders of giants, while the Thinker planned all of this himself; probably even an AI couldn't calculate it in such detail.
But to be honest, Su Sheng wasn't very interested in the Thinker's abilities. If every outcome and situation could be calculated, wouldn't it be boring? No surprises mean no freshness, and no freshness means no excitement!
Knowing that the Thinker was indeed the mastermind, Su Sheng was no longer in a hurry. Twelve bus meta-humans, all the miscellaneous things, let him arrange them; he could completely sit back and reap the benefits. Su Sheng smiled and reached out to pinch Marlize's airport. This woman was also deeply devoted; her husband had lost that ability, but she still stayed with him. What a pity, in the end, her husband compared himself to God, and even she couldn't stand it and betrayed him.
"The feel is really good!" Su Sheng chuckled lightly and then disappeared.
Marlize was stunned, seemingly returning to normal, continuing her shower without noticing any abnormality.
No matter how high the IQ, no matter how much calculation, it's useless if the strength difference is too great. The Thinker could play Flash like a fiddle and even calculate most people on Earth, but unfortunately, Su Sheng's strength had already surpassed Earth. White Lantern, Black Death Emperor, Anti-Life Equation, these abilities are no longer effective just with IQ. How to put it, it's like no matter how powerful the Thinker is in the TV series, if the TV series stops filming and the editor changes the plot, he's finished…
This is the difference in levels.
The day after leaving Marlize, Su Sheng learned that Flash had decided to enter the Speed Force Prison in place of Kid Flash.
Chapter 375: A Bacchanalian Feast in the Doomsday Wasteland
Su Sheng didn't go to observe, and there was nothing to observe; it was just one person coming out and another going in. With his previous statement, the Flash Teamwould definitely find a way to get Barry Allen out as soon as possible, so there was no talk of a sorrowful farewell, and the atmosphere wouldn't be too sad. Wasting that time would be better spent sleeping with a body pillow.
The breach opened.
Barry Allen bid farewell to everyone, and Cisco and the others promised to find a way to rescue Barry Allen as soon as possible. Then, not long after Barry Allenentered the Speed Force, Kid Flash came out. After Kid Flash came out, he was naturally met with a barrage of complaints from everyone, and the various details will not be described one by one. In short, after Barry Allenwent in, the Flash Team began to diligently research how to deceive the Speed Force and rescue Barry Allen, while the guilt-ridden Kid Flash worked hard to improve himself, wanting to temporarily protect Central City in Barry's place.
Not long after, the people of Central City discovered that Flash was gone and there was an additional Kid Flash.
Su Sheng estimated that it would take at least a few months for the Flash Team to figure out a way to rescue Barry Allen, so during this period, the Thinker probably wouldn't take any action. Therefore, Su Sheng simply packed up large and small bags of supplies, shrunk himself, and went to the Doomsday Wasteland World.
When he sent Magneto Woman before, Su Sheng didn't stay long, so he didn't pay much attention. This time, when he went, he found that the changes were significant.
First, the camp had fully developed, with an estimated population of over ten thousand people, and its scale was similar to a fortified village. Many areas even began to grow plants, a scene of flourishing vitality. It seemed that Magneto Woman had played a significant role after arriving, and many steel constructions should have been her handiwork.
Arriving above the camp.
As soon as Su Sheng appeared, he saw Qi Duo and the other five excitedly gather around him, shaking their heads and breasts, chattering, very lively. It must be said that although he only took Qi Duo on a vacation, this action clearly changed the feelings of the five people, who originally had no contact or emotion, towards Su Sheng. That sense of closeness could still be felt.
"Where are the others?" Su Sheng asked with a smile.
"They took people out; only Poison Ivy and Patty are home," Qi Duo explained.
"Out? What for?"
Harley Quinn, Liz Sherman, Blonde Female Nazi, Magneto Woman, and Furiosa had all gone out, and they had taken people with them. Was this formation planning to expand territory and conquer the world?
Qi Duo and the others explained, and Su Sheng then understood that it was indeed a war. The main reason was that this place had developed too well, and several surrounding tribes, such as Immortan Joe, and others like the Bullet Tribe, and Vulture Tribe, etc., these people had all modified their convoys and weapons using their limited equipment. Everyone was expanding and competing for resources, so war was inevitable.
There had been minor skirmishes before, and Harley Quinn had even gone to Immortan Joe's place and snatched Qi Duo and the other two. Initially, the surrounding forces were intimidated by Harley Quinn's miraculous abilities, but later, there was no choice; they couldn't keep tolerating it, so several tribes simply united to resist. And then… Harley Quinn and the others began to lead people to deal with them one by one, destroying their camps, taking in their survivors, and the scale of development grew larger and larger.
It must be said that when Harley Quinn and her group acted, it was like using a bomb to kill a mosquito; it was a complete Rolling.
Su Sheng wasn't worried at all, so he first took out the supplies he brought, settled them, and then went to see Poison Ivy for a chat before returning to the five women. And then… naturally, he pulled them back to the room for some fun. In fact, even if Su Sheng didn't do this, they would have done it, especially Qi Duo, who had been longing for Su Sheng after returning.
With five people together, Su Sheng was almost buried in a sea of people.
At dusk, Harley Quinn returned with her people.
She also brought back survivors from several camps, supplies, and even the heads of the leaders from Immortan Joe's and other camps!
Flattened in one fell swoop!
The gates were opened, various supplies were distributed, and the entire camp plunged into a celebratory carnival. After Harley Quinn said a few words, she and the others surrounded Su Sheng. It was a scene of a bacchanalian feast; no extra words were needed.
In the end.
Except for Su Sheng, almost everyone was drunk. A glance revealed bodies sprawled everywhere, nothing but white.
Immortan Joe was dead, and Max, the protagonist of the movie, had already received his lunchbox early on. Basically, the plot of Mad Max had long been completely unrecognizable, but it didn't matter. Anyway, for it to evolve into this, for the characters of Mad Max to evolve, was already an accident. Even if it was unrecognizable, it didn't matter, as long as Harley Quinnhad fun.
After staying there for about seven or eight days, Su Sheng took some antiques and gold jewelry that they had collected, things that were useless in this world, and left. He went to Gotham, found Talia, sold the items to her, and asked her to collect some special substances. Then he traveled around, running here and there, and then he went to Atlantis.
Atlantis, Royal Palace.
Mera, holding her trident, sat in the palace, seemingly in deep thought. Seeing Su Sheng appear, Mera was slightly startled, then stood up.
"Master."
Is the Atlantis matter settled?" Su Sheng asked directly.
"Sort of, it's just…" Mera hesitated, but Su Sheng said decisively, "That's fine, just make your arrangements and then come with me. We might not be back for a while."
"Where are we going?" Mera asked in surprise.
"You'll know when we get there." Counting the time, it had been almost two months since he last left the Pacific Rim World, so it was time to go back and check.
Just as he was leaving the Pacific Rim World, he estimated that the Flash Team should have rescued Barry Allen by then, which would be perfect for connecting!
Mera left to make arrangements and returned shortly. She temporarily entrusted her trident to Tula to handle affairs on her behalf. Following Su Sheng, she directly opened a Wave Transmission Wormhole in the Atlantispalace and took Mera straight to the Pacific Rim World.

Chapter 376: Re-entering the Pacific Rim World
Pacific Rim World.
Two months later, coming back here, there was hardly any change. Kaiju still appeared from time to time, and Jaeger Hunters were dispatched as usual. Mako's departure did not affect Gipsy Danger's selection of another pilot; the compatibility is still unclear, but several operations seemed smooth. Da Bardda's base with the Kryptonians in the polar region had been completed, and their training looked quite decent. In just two months, these Kryptonians had shed their original demeanor, appearing more aggressive and formidable.
Two thousand well-trained Supermen! Even if their power potential might not match Superman's, their numbers were quite astonishing.
Fiora, Dominator, and Da Bardda seemed to get along quite well.
Su Sheng asked them to briefly explain the situation of this world to Mera, especially about the Kaiju appearing in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.
"How is it?" Su Sheng asked after Mera understood.
"Kaiju? These Kaiju are very strong," Mera said.
"Wouldn't it be good if we brought them to Atlantis?" Su Sheng smiled.
Mera instantly looked up. "If these Kaiju could be commanded, then Atlantis would have no enemies."
"Dominator, you go with Mera to the depths of the Pacific Ocean to learn about these Kaiju," Su Shengdirectly ordered.
"Okay!"
Dominator nodded, took Mera, and flew out of the base.
"You all continue training. In a while, I will bring people to control Jaegers and have a fight with you," Su Shengsaid to Da Bardda, then went to find Mako and Shao Liwen.
In two months, with advanced technology and vast capital, Shao Liwen easily took over Shao Industriesand began large-scale investment in research. Breakthroughs were made in multiple aspects of Jaegers, and Shao Industries quickly became the top, largest Jaeger research conglomerate in the Federation. The Pacific Rim Defense Corps contacted Shao Liwenseveral times to purchase new Jaegers, but she refused them all.
She was still continuing her research.
As for Mako? Under the immense capital of Shao Industries, she had a dedicated team for training and sparring, and her progress in Jaeger control was rapid.
"Hoo!"
Mako, who had just finished training, walked into Shao Liwen's experimental office wearing her training suit. In the office, Shao Liwen, dressed in black trousers, a shirt, and a white women's suit, was calculating data.
"How is it?" Mako walked over and asked.
Shao Liwen shook her head: "The degree of improvement is limited. Give me more time, and I should be able to increase the Jaeger's size by one-third and reduce some of the mental burden on you. This will make it easier for you to pilot, and the Jaeger's power will also increase."
"We don't have much time," Mako paused. "Can I enter actual combat? I just heard that two Category 4 monsters appeared, and Crimson Typhoon and Striker Eureka have sacrificed themselves. Monsters are constantly appearing from the breach, and I'm afraid the Defense Corps will soon run out of Jaegers."
Shao Liwen frowned slightly. She didn't want Mako to enter actual combat at this time. Not to mention the danger, it would simply reduce her experiment time significantly. Three months! That person had said he would return in three months for a competition, and if they lost, they would die! Moreover, only by researching new Jaegers would they be able to defeat the Kaiju. Shao Liwen considered measures to persuade Mako, but then she found Mako looking up at her as if she had seen a ghost, no… she was looking behind her.
Shao Liwen subconsciously turned her head and saw Su Sheng floating in the air outside the office, amidst the blue sky and white clouds.
Su Sheng slowly drifted over, passing through the transparent glass window into the laboratory.
"It, it's not time yet!" Shao Liwen instinctively said.
Su Sheng smiled. "What? I can't come if it's not time yet?"
"Of course not." Shao Liwen quickly denied, she was just surprised.
Su Sheng came to her side, directly connected to the system, and checked her progress. He had to admit, she had indeed improved a lot. Su Sheng approvingly patted Shao Liwen's shoulder and said, "Well done. You still have a month, and I believe you still have room for improvement. As for Mako, I think her suggestion is feasible, and it's time for her to enter actual combat."
"Then, alright."
"I'll go contact the Pacific Rim Defense Corps right away to discuss terms and arrange for Mako to prepare for actual combat," Shao Liwen said.
Su Sheng nodded, and Shao Liwen turned and left.
Su Sheng sat in a chair and beckoned to Mako. After Mako walked over, she was directly pulled into his arms.
"I have high hopes for you. Kaiju are just a small problem. As long as you perform well in the competition a month from now, I will arrange more things for you in the future. Have you heard of Transformers?" Su Shengcasually pulled open Mako's combat uniform, took it off, and threw it aside, his hands freely playing with her.
"Tra, Transformers? Wha, what are those?" Mako asked, her body tense and her voice trembling.
"They are an alien intelligent life form called Cybertronians, a species similar to robots. They can transform by scanning machinery, for example, they can turn into large trucks, sports cars, and so on. This species is roughly divided into two factions: one is called Autobots, and the other is called Decepticons. They can freely transform into two forms, roughly similar to Jaegers. Once things here are settled, I will take you to see them."
Mako listened very attentively, but she couldn't withstand Su Sheng's mischief. Before long, she was like a waterfall plunging three thousand feet.
Slap!
Mako was picked up by Su Sheng and pressed onto the table. Mako, flustered, wanted to say "not here," but was directly defeated by Su Sheng's deep thrust.
What Kaiju, what Jaegers, what Transformers?
Mako felt her 4.3 brain go blank, as if she couldn't think at all, only able to shout loudly with the waves, drifting with the current.
Amidst the storm, she felt her small boat was about to fall apart, soon unable to withstand the pounding of the waves. At this moment, Mako, in the strong winds, saw a glimmer of hope. In the distance, she saw a ship, a perfectly intact ship, approaching.
"Uh… should I go out first?" Shao Liwen, who had opened the door and entered, stopped abruptly when she saw the scene, instinctively wanting to turn around and leave!
…

Chapter 377: Kaiju Larvae
The neat trousers were pulled down to the bottom, the suit jacket was thrown aside, and not a single button on the shirt was in its proper place.
Shao Liwen lay sprawled on the experimental office desk, her eyes meeting Mako's beside her, both filled with bewilderment.
Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
It was a rather similar feeling.
After a long, long time, the two powerless women couldn't control their bodies and slowly slumped down, then Su Sheng pulled them into his arms. After a while, when the aftermath was dealt with, the two leaned against the office desk, lost in thought. It wasn't surprising they were like this; Su Sheng's formidable strength was self-evident, but mainly, they were both enduring the storm simultaneously. Mako had initially thought that with Shao Liwen joining, she would be saved, but who would have thought this was the ocean?
What is the ocean?
The sea embraces all rivers, doesn't it? It doesn't matter if you're one ship or two ships, once you enter the sea, there's no distinction of who's first or last; everyone must endure the storms.
After the Speed Force was activated for 12 hours, the two of them had no chance to rest.
"I'll be here for a while, and when the time comes, I'll take you directly," Su Sheng said casually, sitting in a relaxed posture.
Shao Liwen suddenly felt a sense of despair.
If Mako was going to participate in actual combat, wouldn't that leave only herself?
Fortunately, Su Sheng had no intention of completely breaking her, so although each time was like dying and coming back to life, at least she could still bear it.
Mako piloted the Scarlet Mecha into battle, with Shao Liwen providing remote support.
In their first battle, they easily defeated a Level 4 kaiju, a crushing victory. The single-pilot giant mecha could fly and possessed super strong destructive power. The Scarlet Mecha's debut was almost a total sweep, perhaps because those kaiju were not accustomed to the new type of mecha's attack methods. Regardless, the Scarlet Mecha became famous, and Mako became famous. Despite only one battle, she immediately became the hottest star, and Shao Industries also became incredibly popular.
This was a cross-generational technological breakthrough.
From multi-person to single-person operation, it was more flexible and more powerful.
Although Su Sheng hadn't said anything about wanting Shao Liwen to make money or set up a manufacturing factory, Shao Liwen was, after all, a dominant female CEO in the original work. Her talent in this area was almost on par with her talent in mecha research. Seizing this opportunity, she not only made a huge profit but also invested heavily in building mecha manufacturing factories in multiple locations, starting production and selling Scarlet Mecha models.
Income leads to more funds for research; as long as they maintain technological leadership, there's nothing to worry about.
To be honest, if they continued to develop along this path, it wouldn't be long before Shao Industries could probably rule the Federation. Su Sheng felt that building manufacturing factories was feasible. Su Sheng mused that this world could be used as a Mecha Research Central City. Whether it was Iron Man Armor, large mechas, or even Transformer technology obtained in the future, it could all be upgraded and produced here. If they encountered a large-scale world later, they could completely throw in a batch of mechas to sweep through it.
"Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep…"
The wristband suddenly rang. Su Sheng glanced at Shao Liwen under the table, motioned for her to continue, and answered the wristband.
On the wristband.
Da Bardda's holographic projection appeared.
"What is it?" Su Sheng asked somewhat lazily.
"Mera and the Overlord have returned, and they brought back a few kaiju juveniles," Da Bardda reported.
"Uh…" Su Sheng shuddered and glared at the excited Shao Liwen, then continued, "I understand. Have Merasend one over. Be careful not to reveal your identity for now."
"Understood!" Da Bardda said and hung up the communication.
Putting down the wristband, Su Sheng said to Shao Liwen in a bad mood, "Still grinding your teeth?"
Shao Liwen lowered her head in shame and whispered, "I, I was just too excited. We've always known so little about kaiju. If we had kaiju juveniles, we might discover more. Master, can you let me research them?"
"No!" Su Sheng shook his head.
Shao Liwen instantly showed a disappointed expression.
"Who do you think you are? You dare to research anything. Just stick to researching your mechas. This kaiju juvenile will be sent to the Federation for them to research. Remember to ask for benefits!" Su Shenggrabbed Shao Liwen's hair and closed his eyes again. The kaiju juvenile seemed to pose little threat, but it was still a kaiju after all. If it was sent to the Federation, they would undoubtedly perform neural linking. At that time, Shao Liwen would still know about their research success, and it would avoid potential trouble.
You know, in the original work, of those two doctors, one was lucky and wasn't greatly affected, while the other was directly corrupted.
Of course, Su Sheng hoped for this to continue, as only then could he understand more about the kaiju world inside the breach. Su Sheng had no intention of eliminating these kaiju.
Although Shao Liwen was disappointed and reluctant, what could she do if Su Sheng disagreed?
She could only continue grinding her teeth!
It wasn't until Shao Liwen felt so tired she could barely open her mouth that Su Sheng was satisfied. Shao Liwen got up and went to the bathroom. Su Sheng had already seen Mera flying over invisibly with the kaiju juvenile. Su Sheng waved his hand, clearing a large section of the floor-to-ceiling window for Mera to bring the kaiju juvenile in. Then, he materialized a high-strength glass cage to contain the kaiju juvenile before asking for details.
After Mera and the Overlord entered the depths of the Pacific Ocean, they went directly to the breach. They didn't encounter any kaiju along the way, so they simply entered the other side of the breach, which was the kaiju world. Frankly, they were both bold due to their skills; one was a Kryptonian, and the other was a Red Lantern, so there was nothing to worry about even going to the kaiju world. As a result, although they didn't turn the other side upside down, they did take a tour, learned a lot, and incidentally captured a few kaiju juveniles to bring back.
"I've transmitted the data from the other side to you via the ring. Based on my estimate, the number of kaiju over there is at least in the tens of thousands, and there are many different types. If they were to emerge from the breach, this world probably wouldn't last three months before being completely destroyed," Mera said.
Su Sheng nodded. Monsters conquering worlds was no longer a strange thing, for example, Rise of the Planet of the Apes? Or King Kong, those were all monsters capable of destroying the world.
