American comics start with Zha Kang’s apprentice

Wonder Woman Diana helps the rapidly aging Flash Barry approach the center of the dark engine room.

Here, heavy chains hang down from the darkness above, and countless extremely primitive rusty wheel discs are quietly waiting to be pushed again on the central axis.

More corpses and bones paved a grotesque road. Even though Wonder Woman was very disgusted, she had to step on these dead bones and walk towards the ancient heart-like engine in the center. The surface of the engine has countless spiraling lines, which look like a hanging black drill bit in the shadow. More chains surround the engine, and more gears and cylindrical containers connected to the chains are vaguely visible. They constitute a most complex and bizarre device.

"I have seen similar graphics in the Temple of Athena on Paradise Island." Wonder Woman said softly with a frown, as if she was afraid of waking up the large number of dead people around her.

"They were created by human ancestors transformed by the New Gods from ancient times. They used them to explore the mystery of time and the end of human civilization." Barry said weakly and old, "But they made a serious mistake. , that time engine did successfully reach the end of the world, but it also returned to the past with the last life of the end."

"Those beings are the Xitars, right? The owner of this spiral castle." Wonder Woman has taken Flash Barry to stand under the time engine that will not move at all. It has been destroyed and cannot move at all. Cannot be activated. But Joker said he fixed it and made it even better.

The Joker does not have such skills, not even Lex can do it. He is just a madman without any abilities. The reason why he can survive until now is just because he got a strange gadget.

Wonder Woman raised her left hand and looked at the bottle she was holding in her hand. The scarlet heart-like stone inside the bottle shone strangely.

It must be this thing that gives the Joker the courage to confront Wonder Woman.

But what exactly is it? The Philosopher's Stone is more like a mysterious item in legend. Who created it? And why can reality be rewritten?

How could something so powerful fall into the world so easily?

"The Xitars were supposed to destroy the ancestors of mankind, annihilate the great civilization of that ancient era, and then use the technology of the New God to build more spiral castles, more warriors, and more weapons to conquer one after another. Era..." Barry coughed. He was shaking all over, as if he might die on the spot at any time, or as if he might weather into a pile of withered bones at any time. But after a moment, he still struggled to reach an unnoticeable place under the time engine. In the circle, he continued to pant, "History has been changed, and time was once destroyed and eroded in the storm of the 'Wild Hunt'. The Dark Watcher Mandrake controlled all the stories, and he tried to suck them dry. Of all lives, the 'Wild Hunt' gave him the opportunity to break out of the prison, and also gave him the opportunity to penetrate into all historical processes... Ahem, the Xitars did not disappear, they just became those in Limbo. Hosts of things that do not exist, they have not destroyed the past, they have been hiding in the cracks of time.”

Wonder Woman was suddenly surprised by Barry's sudden strength. She watched Barry break free from her hand. He stood in the ring that seemed to be engraved with some kind of tree pattern and stretched his right hand upward, but Barry's eyes were looking at With Wonder Woman.

"Mandrake thought that the past history would also be destroyed under this comprehensive invasion, but he was wrong. He gave us a chance to breathe. His little mistake allowed the Speed ​​Force to be born as usual. He made me go smoothly. The birth of." Barry stretched out his hand to Wonder Woman, "The purpose of my being here is to send you to the designated orbit, Diana! We are all an indispensable part of a vast story! Will the 'Sage' Give me the Stone! It will power me and send you to the exact coordinates through the time engine! Only you can save Wally West! Only you can bring our weapons back and It goes where it’s supposed to go!”

Wonder Woman did not ask questions. She vaguely felt that she would witness all the history from the past to the future in the next journey, and she would find all the answers she wanted.

The most important thing is that Barry is running out of time. His body becomes transparent under the sudden extreme vibration, as if his existence itself is about to be erased.

"Time!" Barry took the "Philosopher's Stone" that Wonder Woman quickly handed over. He raised his head and said anxiously, "New changes have begun! Time begins to disappear again! We only have one chance left. !Diana, find Wally!”

The "Philosopher's Stone" in Barry's hand suddenly burst out with a more dazzling red light. In the red light, the surrounding space became distorted and blurred.

Wonder Woman noticed that Barry now looked more like an invisible red giant, with melted paint constantly flowing from his body. Barry didn't seem to move, but he seemed to be running at a very fast speed, because the surrounding space was almost filled with countless chaotic and elongated colors, and the road under the feet of Barry and Wonder Woman was more like an infinitely extending conveyor belt.

Just above Wonder Woman's head, the time engine was spinning, the surrounding chains were constantly moving up and down, and the gears were slowly biting each other around the container that began to emit green light.

The only constant is the Philosopher's Stone, which is now more like a translucent planet spreading out from the center, with Barry and Wonder Woman at the center of the Philosopher's Stone.

"The sonic blast channel is about to open!" Barry's voice seemed to come from the distant void.

Wonder Woman spreads her pure white wings and waits with the Flame Factory Sword in hand. Now, outside the Philosopher's Stone, all the colors have condensed into one color, that shiny green that seems to isolate reality.

Just in front of Barry's twisted figure, a pure white light became more intense, and deafening rolling thunder began to fill the entire weird space.

"Take this! It's hidden in the time engine!" Barry twisted his body, his vague hand waved, and Wonder Woman instinctively reached out to take it.

"Now, Diana!" Barry shouted as his body almost collapsed.

Wonder Woman tightened her grip on what Barry gave her, and she rushed out like an arrow against the almost ever-expanding sonic tunnel. When she left the range of the "Philosopher's Stone", a burst of red light exploded.

The "Philosopher's Stone" seemed to be completely destroyed, and Wonder Woman had entered the white light of the sonic tunnel amid endless thunder.

She should have been dismantled, but now she has gained a power greater than that of the gods. She still maintains her existence, and with a strong will, Wonder Woman's self has not dissipated.

Only then did Wonder Woman look back.

The way he came had completely disappeared, and Barry no longer existed.

Finally, Wonder Woman raised her hand curiously, and she looked at the thing hidden in the time engine that Barry finally gave her.

It turned out to be a dice.
