The roar of engines behind them rged into one, and the vehicles kicked up a dust storm of yellow sand, while in the quicksand black hole not far away, red electric light intermittently burst out, emitting a piercing scream.
Among the vehicles chasing them, a red Batmobile was at the forefront. Although it still had the Batmobile’s contours, it was covered with pieces of red flesh and veins, making it appear bloody.
A person wearing red armor sat inside the car, chasing them while letting out a bizarre laugh.
His armor looked as if it had been salvaged from a sea of blood, with red ceramic armor covering his entire body. On his chest was a white Bat emblem, crossed by a red lightning bolt, resembling a crack that split the Bat in half.
Su Ming couldn’t see his face, only those scarlet eyes staring ahead, with red Speed Force lightning pouring out from him.
He was the Red Death Demon, another mad Batman from the Dark Multiverse.
This was a story set in the Dark Multiverse Earth -52.
.............
"As usual, you’re already too late, it’s ti to give the Speed Force to soone else."
At that ti, the Earth -52 Batman was fully ard and pointing a Freezing Gun at the Earth -52 The Flash.
What happened on this Earth? We don’t know, but we do know that on this Earth, Batman’s family was slaughtered, the entire Bat Clan except for Batman... were all killed.
Batman attempted to seize The Flash’s Speed Force to fulfill his long-desired wish—to be fast enough to stop things before they happen...
In the battle with The Flash, even though he was fully ard, he was still knocked to the ground. But Bruce no longer cared about friendship; all he cared about was the Speed Force.
He took advantage of Barry’s sympathy, and as Barry reached out to help him, Batman inserted a super-low temperature potion made by Mr. Freeze into Barry’s leg, instantly encasing Barry’s leg in ice. He calculated that Barry would only need three seconds to use his Speed Force to remove the ice, but three seconds for Batman... was enough.
When Barry woke from unconsciousness, he found that Bruce had tied him to a Batmobile powered by a Cosmic Treadmill, intending to crash into the Speed Force to obtain the power.
In an instant, the scene shifted back to Gotham City, where cri was rampant. The Scarecrow attempted to kill soone, but at this mont, a red figure appeared out of nowhere and ripped out his heart.
"My na is Bruce Wayne, I am vengeance, I am justice, I am—the Bat Red Death Demon!"
This Batman did not fully gain the Speed Force; the Speed Force inexplicably fused him and Earth -52 Barry together. He controlled the power and body, while Barry was like a ghost, residing in the depths of his mind.
The Red Death Demon swiftly killed all the criminals who had plagued Batman for years, while Barry, fused with him, still tried to persuade Bruce not to sink deeper. But at the sa ti, the sky turned red, and this Earth was about to be destroyed...
Bruce still wasn’t fast enough to save everyone.... He failed again....
But then a voice ca, telling him he could find a new ho and gain new life.
It was the Laughing Bat using the power of Barbatos to travel through the Dark Multiverse. The commotion here was too large; Bruce’s abuse of the Speed Force had completely altered the tiline, and a crimson lightning feast destroyed his world.
The mont of world destruction was like fireworks lighting up the night sky, catching Barbatos’s interest.
The Barry in his mind urged Bruce not to listen to him, but Bruce was still drawn into the Dark Knight Order.
After arriving in the Main World Midtown, he triggered a Speed Force Storm in the city, causing many people to lose ti and age rapidly. The Main World Barry ca to fight him, drawing him out of the city for a battle in the outskirts.
Their speed was so fast that the grasslands were stamped over tens of thousands of tis per second, turning them into desert.
Barry was no match for him, losing the first fight and nearly dying, but Doctor Fate saved him.
After a Justice League eting at the Eternal Tavern, Barry took Superman to the Lonely Fortress to activate the Cosmic Tuning Fork, sending Superman to the Dark Faraway Universe to rescue the Main World Batman. Then he fought again with the approaching Dark Knight Order.
He couldn’t fight against many alone and had to retreat, but the Red Death Demon followed. They returned to the desert outskirts of Midtown, where the Red Death Demon triggered a Speed Force Storm, creating a massive black hole pulling everything underground, forming a large underground cavern.
With control of the Speed Force, the Red Death Demon no longer needed strategy or tactics. He brought his toys from the Dark Multiverse, countless Divine Speed Automatic Combat Vehicles equipped with Cosmic Treadmills, in pursuit of Barry.
Barry had no choice but to enter the Divine Speed Plane to outrun him but accidentally hit sothing and fell into Earth -11, which is where the previous story began.
.................
"Run! Keep running, little girl! I’ll catch you and rip out your liver!"
At this mont, the Red Death Demon behind them, driving a Batmobile erupting with red lightning, relentlessly chased them, while the black hole ford by the Speed Force Storm devoured everything, twisting the world.
Su Ming floored the accelerator, trying his best to drive toward the exit of the cave.
The Red Death Demon wasn’t in a hurry; even though his car could only trail behind theirs, he had countless toys around him, all vehicles filled with various killing tools.
Giant tools stained with blood.
There were super-large circular saws connected to automatic chanical arms, hamrs, chains, war axes, and so on, all without exception, shining with bright red light.
"I have to say, when you didn’t have the Lightning Vehicle before, escaping into the Divine Speed Plane was a good choice." Su Ming looked in the rearview mirror at the situation, as those modified automatic combat vehicles, being relatively light, gradually closed in from all directions.
"Thank you for the complint, but do you have any ideas now? My Speed Force can’t last much longer." Barry looked pale as he infused golden lightning into the engine, while sweat poured off his head.
In the comics, Barry still lost this battle, taken by the Red Death Demon back to Gotham and tied to the Dark Tower as a human battery, one could say Barry once again rely caoed in the major event.
However, the previous accident had altered the world, allowing Su Ming to ultimately arrive here.
The Dark Knight Order’s tactic was to split the Justice League, preventing them from gathering, and defeat them one by one in single combat.
Now the problem arose; the duel the Red Death Demon anticipated changed, with the addition of Su Ming, who happens to know his weaknesses.
"Avoidance won’t solve the problem, and we actually have a local advantage now. Let’s deal with him first." Su Ming pressed a few buttons, and the Batmobile emitted smoke, a simple trick taught to him by Briss before.
After offsetting the speed of the quicksand, the two cars appeared very slow, but in reality, the speed was now beyond the ter’s display. With the current infusion of the Speed Force, the speed per second was over a thousand kiloters.
The Red Death Demon’s car could go even faster, but he was now playing a cat-and-mouse ga.
Barry licked his dry lips and looked at Su Ming, "Tell Slade, I’m listening to you. If we die, let’s at least keep each other company on the Other Shore."
Su Ming glared at him, "First, if we really die, we won’t be on the sa path; you’ll go to Heaven, and I’ll go to Hell. Secondly, although humans will eventually die, it definitely won’t be today."
