[Superman] Chapter 170: Piercing the Universe with Lightning
🕑 Added 2024-07-22 03:19:48 +0000 UTCThe Speed Force circulated rapidly within the energy apparatus.
Dazzling light shone in everyone’s eyes, filling them with excitement and anticipation.
“Don’t let your guard down; the upcoming steps are still crucial for the experiment’s success!”
A voice quickly interrupted those captivated by the Speed Force’s energy, snapping them back to focus on the critical ongoing procedures.
At this moment, the Speed Force energy had fully merged with the energy source powering the multiverse shuttle.
The multiverse shuttle also underwent some special changes.
As Reed decisively activated the multiverse shuttle,
the lights in the conference room dimmed instantly.
A familiar cosmic starfield scene slowly emerged before everyone.
As the perspective shifted, it felt as if they were traversing the endless starry sky together,
crossing unimaginable distances and piercing through the solid barriers of the universe.
In an instant, they found themselves in the void outside the universe.
In the void, countless universes emitted either bright or dim light.
Suspended in the cosmic void like dark red stars, they appeared mysterious and uniquely beautiful.
“Is this what the infinite multiverse truly looks like?”
Apart from Peter and Reed, who had already seen such a magnificent scene,
the others had only understood the multiverse theoretically until now. It was their first time witnessing the infinite universes before their eyes.
They were witnessing this wondrous sight that represented eternity and all life!
“The multiverse is so splendid, like a dazzling night sky… no, even more beautiful than the starry sky!”
Looking at the countless brilliant universes seemingly floating in front of them, they couldn’t help but be mesmerized by this beautiful scene.
“Everyone, prepare to witness the true unknown!”
At this moment, Reed did not input detailed coordinates for exploring the universe into the multiverse shuttle as he usually did.
Instead, he immediately infused the Speed Force energy, which had just merged with the power source, into the multiverse shuttle.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
As soon as the Speed Force energy was activated,
the entire multiverse shuttle began to vibrate violently.
The screen on the multiverse shuttle started to flicker rapidly,
like a television from half a century ago losing its signal.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
But it didn’t end there.
With more Speed Force energy injected into the multiverse shuttle,
the vibrations became even more intense.
It seemed as though the entire conference room was shaking just as violently.
“Is such a strong reaction normal?”
Peter’s body did not sway despite the intense vibrations.
However, he looked somewhat serious as he asked Reed beside him.
“We anticipated such a reaction, but we didn’t expect it to be this strong!”
Before the experiment began, they knew from system simulations that using Speed Force energy would cause significant reactions.
However, they never imagined the reaction would be this intense.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Speed Force energy, like a violent sprite, continued to pour into the multiverse shuttle, causing even more violent shaking.
Since the multiverse shuttle was connected to the entire laboratory, the whole laboratory shook violently as well.
“Hurry and find a solution, or the lab won’t be able to withstand such intense vibrations!”
Peter’s face remained calm, but feeling the increasing intensity of the vibrations, he couldn’t help but loudly remind Reed.
“Sir, I’m trying to stabilize everything…”
The intense vibrations made Reed feel extremely uncomfortable. He struggled to endure the violent discomfort while continuously operating the multiverse shuttle, attempting to reduce the shaking.
“Damn it, if this continues, the lab won’t have any issues, but our internal organs might get shattered!”
...
Unlike Peter and Reed, their bodies were quite unique and hardly affected by the intense vibrations.
However, the others were struggling to hold on, feeling as if the violent shaking might tear their bodies apart.
Sensing their condition, Peter immediately released a powerful bio-field, enveloping everyone present.
"Hmm? What's happening? I suddenly feel much better!"
Those who were on the verge of vomiting from the shaking suddenly felt the dizziness vanish, unable to hide their astonishment.
“Damn it, let’s solve the current problem first!”
They quickly snapped back to reality, rushing back to their stations to control the situation.
However, shortly after, the vibrations did not subside despite their efforts. Instead, they seemed to intensify.
“Shit, we can’t stop these unusual vibrations…”
Suddenly, a voice filled with frustration interrupted their efforts.
“The Speed Force has given the energy a unique active force, and it’s this force that’s causing such intense vibrations!”
They had made some progress, understanding the cause of the violent shaking.
In simple terms, the mysterious Speed Force contained an unknown active force. Initially, it was too small to fully manifest.
But as the Speed Force energy merged completely with the larger energy source, it altered its nature, making it extremely active, almost violent.
“So, there is a way to resolve this situation…”
“If we disconnect the energy from the multiverse shuttle, the intense vibrations will naturally subside!”
Future Reed calmly suggested a solution, plunging everyone into silence.
They had all considered this method but couldn’t accept the idea of their efforts going to waste.
“Is there no other way?”
Peter’s face remained calm, but he still hoped for another solution.
“There might be, but in such an urgent situation, there’s no time to implement it…”
“If we don’t stop the Speed Force energy, the entire lab might collapse from the intense shaking!”
Reed looked troubled; if there was another option, they wouldn’t consider failure.
The room fell into silence, with Peter contemplating whether to stop the energy transfer, while others were trying to think of a better solution.
“Then…”
“I’ve got it!”
Just as Peter was about to speak, Zombie Reed suddenly exclaimed, a hint of excitement on his face.
“What did you say?”
Everyone turned their attention to him, puzzled.
“Do you remember the special ability we discovered when exploring the Speed Force?”
“When the Speed Force vibrates molecules rapidly and matches the vibration frequency of certain solid materials, it can pass through them as if they were not there!”
Zombie Reed explained a special conclusion they had reached during their previous studies of the Speed Force.
“You mean…”
The others quickly connected the dots.
“Yes, perhaps the Speed Force energy is not destroying the lab, but trying to open a portal to an unknown universe!”
At that moment, they all seemed to understand.
The Speed Force could bring the entire lab into a unique vibration state, leading them to break through the barriers of the omniverse.
Connecting to another universe with the same vibration frequency!
“But even knowing this, it leads us to a dead end.”
“No one can withstand such rapid vibration, even this vibranium-made lab would eventually disintegrate under the accelerating frequency.”
Even knowing the Speed Force’s method to open another universe, they faced another problem.
Their bodies clearly couldn’t endure such vibrations.
“It seems we are doomed to fail…”
“No… we can endure it!”
Peter’s voice suddenly rang out, capturing everyone’s attention.
Peter knew that The Flash could vibrate through walls due to the Speed Force's protection.
While they didn’t have the Speed Force, Peter had a special bio-field that could protect everyone and the lab.
“Sir, you…”
The others looked at Peter, their eyes filled with uncertainty.
“Reed, follow my instructions and increase the Speed Force energy output!”
Peter spoke firmly to Reed.
“Sir, I trust you!”
Reed, who trusted Peter completely, immediately adjusted the Speed Force energy output to the maximum.
Buzz!
A vibration, far stronger than before, echoed throughout the lab.
The entire lab seemed to enter a unique state.
“Damn, I wasn’t ready…”
“Hmm? Why don’t I feel anything?”
“Has the vibration stopped?”
The others, still hesitant, couldn’t stop the process.
But as more violent Speed Force energy poured in, they didn’t feel the expected intense shaking.
The lab, which had been shaking violently, seemed to suddenly calm down.
“No, the vibration frequency is so fast, it’s beyond our perception!”
...
At this moment, no one understood better than Peter.
With the Speed Force energy being fully channeled, the entire lab had entered an incredibly unique state of resonance.
Of course, if he hadn’t released a powerful bio-field to protect everything in the lab, everything would have collapsed into a molecular state due to the intense vibrations.
“Mr. Superman, the multiverse shuttle seems to be functioning normally again!”
Suddenly, Reed, who had resolutely followed Peter's instructions to release the Speed Force energy, exclaimed excitedly.
In the next instant, the previously dimmed virtual cosmic scene reappeared before everyone.
However, the once breathtakingly beautiful scene of the endless universe, akin to a brilliant starry sky, had become somewhat blurry, flickering rapidly.
Buzz!
Soon, the release speed of the Speed Force energy slowly reached one hundred percent.
In an instant, it felt as if the entire lab experienced a violent tremor.
A brilliant lightning bolt traversed the endless universe, rapidly leaping between the dim and blurry cosmos.
In the void of the universe, it left a refracting shadow of lightning.
Crack!
As the lightning continued to leap, time seemed to stand still.
In the stunned gazes of the onlookers, the once-clear image of the infinite universe shattered and vanished.
“Is this the unknown infinite multiverse?”
With the collapse of the Marvel infinite universe, the entire scene underwent a drastic transformation.
A unique multiverse, containing numerous individual universes, appeared before them.
The scene it presented was vastly different from the Marvel multiverse.
An endless wall of origin enveloped everything in the omniverse.
Within the infinite universe domain, several special dimensional realms were distinguished.
At the center of these special realms lay the true DC multiverse.
Numerous individual universes were scattered within the multiverse domain.
Each emitted different glows and maintained unique forms, as if every universe had its own special characteristics.
“Different scenes, different cosmic landscapes, but all containing endless life…”
Everyone was mesmerized by the beautiful scenes of different universes, as if they were wandering through the endless cosmos.
“So, sir, which universe are you planning to connect to?”
The endless universes floating in the void dazzled everyone.
At this moment, it was up to Peter to determine which universe to open a portal to.
Peter's gaze shifted among the numerous universes.
Although each universe emitted different glows and scenes, he found it difficult to identify which one was the universe they were seeking.
Suddenly, Peter’s eyes settled on a universe engulfed in endless flames.
The blazing fire made it appear like a massive burning star.
Within it, Peter seemed to sense a powerful presence.
