Aaron thought of another matter.
The Kara of Flash's world was very good, but a certain naive Kara was also good.
This little Kara still needed to be raised, so why not get the naive one first?
Aaron was wondering if he could categorize the two Karas as different individuals. Otherwise, wouldn't another Kara be doomed after Kara becomes a singularity?
He vaguely felt that he seemed to possess this ability.
Just like Gwen and Gwenpool.
He just needed to alter their existence trace, and then everything would be fine.
However, this required the use of his fundamental power, the Primordial Furnace. It needed to operate from the true fourth wall level.
This meant that across the Multiverse, not even the Presence or OAA could accomplish this.
Only he could!
As Aaron pondered—
September 25, 2013.
The time came for Zod's arrival.
Wayne Manor.
Bruce Wayne, gray-haired and aged, observed the time, then promptly turned on the television and radio.
"My name is General Zod. I come from a world far from yours."
"..."
Hearing this familiar announcement, Bruce sighed deeply.
"He was right, Zod is here."
Even though more than twenty years had passed, Bruce could never forget that day, a day in 1989. On that day, his destiny took a different path.
He spent countless nights tossing and turning, and woke up from nightmares countless times.
He repeatedly dreamt of scenes of world destruction and timeline collapse. The wails of countless people, blood splattering the sky.
Mother Earth cried out in sorrow and the firmament mercilessly tore apart.
Bruce wished that everything he experienced that day was false.
But...
Bruce fiddled with the Joker's laughing bag, squeezing it, and the Joker's maniacal laughter echoed from within, as if in mockery.
Mocking him, that even if he spent his entire life, he could never truly change the world's future.
The Joker was one of the most troublesome enemies he had encountered, leaving a deep impression on him.
His name was Jack Napier, and he always laughed. Even in his last moments before death, he left with a smile.
However, to maximize the time for his plans, Bruce was extremely decisive when dealing with these annoying villains.
Kill, kill, kill!
He had no time to play house with the gangs who tried to overthrow Gotham. Anyone who committed heinous crimes and fell into his hands would surely die.
Whether it was the Joker or the Penguin, anyone who dared to obstruct his plans had to die.
He invested heavily in aviation, energy, and military industries, secretly developing many high technologies.
The Wayne Corporation was even greater than in another Flash universe. The name Bruce Wayne became a super legend.
Bruce reviewed his life, he had become a different person, even giving up most entertainment, including women, dedicating almost all his energy to this great cause.
His butler Alfred was quite puzzled by this and eventually died with regret.
No one could understand him.
Perhaps only that man, who had left back then, could understand him.
Aaron's figure flashed through his mind, and Bruce murmured to himself, "It's time. Earth will ultimately be defended by Earthlings."
For this day, even after he retired as Batman, he never stopped training for a moment. He wanted to face the most terrifying enemy in his peak state.
He glanced at the time.
Bruce rose and went to a room, opened a mechanism, and entered the Batcave.
Unlike in Flash's world, this Batcave was as good as new. All the equipment was the latest model, generally at least twenty years ahead of what was available on the market or even in laboratories.
In a wardrobe, a series of multifunctional Bat-suits were encased and hung.
Bruce changed into his suit, and a sharp light flickered in his weathered eyes. His whole demeanor changed and though he was clearly old and frail, he exuded a fighting spirit of do or die.
Bruce then looked at the monitor.
A young man's figure appeared outside the manor.
It's him!
That damned fool!
Bruce had been monitoring Barry Allen's room for decades, starting his surveillance layout years ago. His computer stored all surveillance footage of Barry Allen's family.
He had studied it many times, knowing his life experiences better than Barry himself.
Especially that crucial night at the important time node.
He saw Barry, who had traveled through time and altered major events.
He had wanted to activate the bomb then, sending Barry sky-high.
He swore, if doing so could solve the problem, he would have pressed the button.
But he held back in the end.
That wouldn't kill Barry nor would it change the future.
In a corner of the manor.
Aaron and Pamela, holding Kara, witnessed all of this.
The three were in an invisible state. Aaron's invisibility means were sufficient to block all current technology. No means could detect his presence.
Even if Bruce had deciphered part of Kryptonian technology, he didn't notice anything.
Pamela couldn't help but ask, "Will Bruce kill Barry? Or will he imprison him?"
Aaron shook his head and said, "No, he won't. Even if he hates Barry intensely, he won't do that."
"He won't give up any power he can use. Barry is definitely a part of his many plans."
Aaron had no doubt that among Bruce's anticipated multiple plans, sacrificing Barry was definitely one of them.
—
At this moment, Barry had pushed open the villa door and walked in.
When he came to a narrow room, he saw that Bruce was sitting at the front, his scrutinizing gaze like a police officer looking at a criminal, making Barry feel uncomfortable all over.
"You... Hello, Batman, I didn't mean to break in..."
"Sit." Bruce said indifferently.
Barry was a bit bewildered. This was completely different from what he had expected.
In the room, besides Bruce's seat, there was only the chair opposite him, directly facing the other party.
Barry pondered for a moment and chose to obey and sit down.
"Name."
"Barry Allen."
"Gender."
"Male."
"Place of origin."
"America..."
"Age."
"Huh?"
"Age!"
Barry felt uneasy all over. Their current situation was... a bit like an interrogation?
Why did he feel like a criminal?
Thinking about it, he realized the room really did look like an interrogation room, with monitors in all four corners, and Bruce was even wearing his Bat-suit, truly like a police officer.
"Batman, I know you're Bruce Wayne. Actually, I don't have much time, I need your help."
"This is a matter concerning the world's safety."
"Shut your mouth, you idiot!"
Bruce slammed the table heavily, the wooden table legs creaking under the strain.
Barry immediately shut up. Why was this world's Batman so irritable?
He was like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.
"Uh... I'm not a criminal, and I'm not your enemy."
"You're not a criminal?"
Bruce felt like laughing when he heard that.
Destroying multiple universes and not a criminal? Is he some kind of hero?
Aaron and Pamela watched the whole thing. They saw Bruce interrogate Barry, and then the two broke into a fierce argument.
Bruce's roar echoed throughout the villa.
Originally, Barry had a self-righteous look, but the more they argued, the more astonished, terrified, and scared he became.
He finally realized what a foolish thing he had done.
No wonder Bruce always called him an idiot. It wasn't that the other party had a bad temper, but that he really was an idiot.
"You stand here, I'm going over."
Aaron instructed Pamela, not lifting his magical invisibility, and teleported into the interrogation room.
Neither Bruce nor Barry noticed that a third person had appeared in the room.
Aaron came to Barry's side and acquired his abilities.
[Speed Force: You have gained the Speed Force, capable of generating or utilizing the Speed Force for rapid movement.]
The moment Aaron gained the Speed Force, he vaguely connected with something. A power called the Speed Force also appeared within him.
What surprised Aaron even more was that, he seemed to be able to accelerate infinitely.
The Speed Force is one of the fundamental constituents of DC, the source of power for most speedsters.
Flash's power fundamentally comes from the Speed Force, which grants him unimaginable speed. And as he continues to develop the Speed Force, he will become faster and faster, increasing from the initial speed of sound to the speed of light, superluminal speed, and even time reversal.
However, the Speed Force is consumable. Speedsters gain their speed by consuming the Speed Force. Only Barry Allen of the main Universe is an exception.
Barry Allen, by himself, supports the consumption of Speed Force by all Speedsters in the Multiverse.
However, this theory was only a memory Aaron had before his transmigration, and he is not clear about it. But at this stage, this point is not important.
What's important is that, theoretically, the more Speed Force a Speedster possesses, the faster they can be.
Even just running, they can rival or even surpass the instantaneous teleportation of space-type abilities.
Aaron can continuously create the Speed Force through the Primordial Furnace. This means he can continuously create the Speed Force to empower himself, and even move quickly without the need for a Speed Force Wall.
If it were other Speedsters, once they left a universe within the DC worldview, they would eventually lose their speed.
But Aaron won't.
He can infinitely produce the Speed Force himself, with no upper limit to his speed, allowing him to freely travel through all realms and worlds.
Not only that, he can also autonomously transmit the Speed Force to others, which means granting others speed, and they too can move at super speed until their Speed Force is depleted.
In addition to this, Aaron's reaction ability has also increased again.
After gaining quantum power, he had already reached quantum reaction speed. This is at least tens of thousands of times the speed of light.
However, after repeatedly replicating the Speed Force, Aaron's thoughts reached millions of times the speed of light. This thought reaction speed can still be improved, to the point where, in a single thought, he can scan everything in a universe.
Similarly, his speed in the material universe has also reached over millions of times the speed of light.
The changes brought by the Speed Force are not limited to this.
This ability not only allows one to achieve extreme running and thought speed, but also grants extreme recovery, accelerating everything.
Aaron's Super Healing ability was already incredibly abnormal.
Now, with the Speed Force accelerating it by millions of times, Aaron doesn't even know how he can be killed.
Perhaps, it's already impossible to die, right?
Anyway, Aaron wouldn't want to face an enemy like himself.
Similarly, because the Speed Force can protect the physical body, Aaron can use super-high-speed running to unleash even greater power.
Just imagine, after being empowered by abilities like Limit Breakthrough, Binary Mode, Solar Power, War Power, Internal Universe's Energy, and then amplified by millions or even trillions of times the speed of light...
An infinitely massive punch!
Who can stop it? Who dares to stop it?
I have one punch that can obliterate everything.
Aaron mentally simulated the power he could now unleash.
No matter how many times he simulated it, the result was always the same.
The moment he fully unleashes his power, the Multiverse will instantly tear into black holes, all matter will be annihilated, and all living beings will be shattered and extinguished.
During the simulation, Aaron's brain cells continuously exploded. In a millionth of a second, tens of thousands of cellular universes were drained and destroyed. But very quickly, these brain cells were restored by the Super Healing enhanced by the Speed Force.
To simulate these processes, Aaron's brain was actually running in overload, almost smoking.
The energy loss was countless!
At least equivalent to ten Infinite Ultrons + Dormammu.
Aaron quickly stopped the frantic simulation and replenished all his cells, his state instantly returning to peak.
'I've gained another recoverable regular trump card. I reckon even if an omnipotent deity came, they'd have to leave lying down.'
Aaron felt that once he fully unleashed his power, it would be enough to erase the infinite Multiverse. This level of power is comparable to an omnipotent deity.
Moreover, the Speed Force, once consumed, can be restored again. It's not a one-time ability.
It can be said that Aaron is not omnipotent, but he is better than omnipotent.
