Chapter 697: You're Finished!!!
2022-10-19 Author: Great Demon Spirit
The Collective Consciousness of the Speed Force is a subtle will condensed from the entire Speed Force Wall. This consciousness is even less autonomous than the Gaia Consciousness, operating only according to pre-set, rigid programs.
The Speed Force Wall's greatest duty is to protect the Multiverse, preventing the Monsters from the Sphere of the Gods from freely entering and exiting the Multiverse Domain.
But this doesn't mean it only targets outsiders and not insiders. Even Multiversal natives, as long as they cause harm to the Multiverse, will be placed on the Speed Force Wall's Blacklist. When they cross the warning line, they will be fiercely attacked by the Speed Force Wall.
Such individuals are either banished to the Sphere of the Gods or locked away in the Speed Force Prison for life.
Even the Flash Avatars who created the Speed Force Wall don't know how many have been imprisoned. One can imagine how strict the Collective Consciousness of the Speed Force is towards those who commit Sin.
A powerful will descended. The Speed Force surged like a Tsunami, an Apocalypse-like sight. Looking out, endless Speed Force enveloped them from all directions, engulfing the boundless, vast world entirely, leaving only two Humanoid Forms at the very center.
"Tony!"
"The Spectre!"
"You have trespassed into the Speed Force Wall!"
A blurry figure slowly materialized from nothing. Similarly blurry figures emerged from swirling vortexes. Countless ethereal figures rapidly appeared and converged, eventually forming a physical Humanoid Form.
This was the Collective Consciousness of the Speed Force. It had no true physical structure or appearance, but it could manifest as any Life Form etched by time.
The Collective Consciousness of the Speed Force impassively watched Tony and The Spectre. It had no emotions, being merely a High-Level Intelligent Program acting according to pre-existing rules.
The Spectre's face was grim. He said in a low voice: "I mean no offense. On the contrary, I came to apprehend Sin..."
He pointed at Tony.
Tony sneered, completely ignoring the Collective Consciousness of the Speed Force. His eyes glinted menacingly as he fiercely lunged at The Spectre, who was still trying to explain. Rings of powerful Energy Waves spread out, impacting the vast, endless ocean of Speed Force.
Earth-shattering explosions occurred intermittently. Power aftershocks scattered during the Great War, frequently resulting from the collisions between the Power of the One-Above-All and The Spectre's Judgment.
Tony forced The Spectre into battle. Under the watchful gaze of the Collective Consciousness of the Speed Force, he tried to force The Spectre to act as much as possible.
Even a small amount of Power aftershocks casually unleashed, if released in the Outside World, could shatter many Life Planets and annihilate countless Universe races.
The Spectre fought Tony while cautiously watching the Collective Consciousness of the Speed Force – he didn't dare to use his full Power, merely fending off Tony's attacks.
"You villain!" The Spectre cursed.
Even with his astonishing background, he didn't want to cause trouble within the Speed Force Wall, right under the nose of the Collective Consciousness of the Speed Force.
If he were to be locked in Prison, it would be a huge problem and an even bigger joke that would shake the Sphere of the Gods – "The righteous Herald of God locked away by the Speed Force!"
Countless Villains would rejoice and spread the news, and his (The Spectre's) prestige would be utterly ruined.
Tony sneered repeatedly. He glared fiercely at the scum controlling Old Bartender's body. He shattered a conceptual Speed Force Energy mass with a punch, closing the distance with The Spectre.
Tony understood the operating rules of the Speed Force Wall better than anyone. This wall didn't judge whether someone should be imprisoned based on some boring concept of "Justice" or "evil."
As for Justice, there was none; there was no absolute Justice in this world. Even The Spectre, who Judges Sin, had killed countless criminals over long ages, indirectly leading to the Death of countless innocent Life Forms.
As for evil, there was none. Even a Monster like Ancient Doomsday slaughtered extensively for better learning and Evolution. From his birth, there was only destruction; he never considered destroying the weak to be evil.
The operating rules of the Speed Force Wall were extremely complex, far from being clearly defined by a mere one or a few concepts. Otherwise, those Flash Avatars who punished evil and promoted good wouldn't have been locked in Prison; when they were released, they had all become deranged fools.
The Speed Force Wall could even, due to the instability of the Speed Force Prison caused by the loss of a criminal within it, decisively capture a Flash Avatar to fill the vacant spot, commonly known as being a "scapegoat."
Therefore, The Spectre's set of standards was completely unreliable in the perception of the Collective Consciousness of the Speed Force.
This gave Tony an opportunity.
"The existence of the Speed Force is to maintain the Multiverse from being destroyed by external enemies."
Tony, wielding the Mother Box, wildly flung out streaks of white Electricity, which whistled and covered The Spectre. "And you, you are that external enemy!"
"You idiot, running around from Universe to Universe, wielding a Scythe, standing on the moral high ground, Judging Sin, taking what belongs to others and considering it your due..."
"If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be so much trouble!"
"If it weren't for you, you and I wouldn't be fighting so fiercely, nor would we have come to this cursed place!"
Tony said fiercely. He slapped The Spectre on the head, sending him flying with a resounding smack.
The Spectre shook his head. He was completely unharmed, his face merely grim. Tony's attacks meant nothing to him. Boring sensations like pain were meaningless to his non-physical Being.
The Collective Consciousness of the Speed Force was expressionless. It also had no emotions. Silently, a massive amount of Speed Force suddenly converged, enveloping Tony and The Spectre who were fighting, slowly closing in.
Invisible chains extended from swirling vortexes, locking onto other vortexes. These countless, densely packed vortexes were rapidly sealing together.
"Damn it!"
The Spectre was infuriated. He looked at Tony with flickering eyes.
Boom!
Several white Lightning Bolts shot out, tearing large swaths of emptiness in the viscous, dense Speed Force, and struck The Spectre.
The Spectre had a cold expression. He raised his hand and crushed the electrical light. Judgment Power surged forth, blasting towards Tony.
At this critical juncture, the two erupted into an even more intense Great War. Tony was instantly suppressed, only barely able to support himself with the Mother Box.
Bang!
With a punch, The Spectre sent Tony and the enlarged Mother Box flying. He rapidly retreated, gritting his teeth and charging towards the gap between one vortex and another.
He was The Spectre, the Avenging Emissary of God. He absolutely could not afford to be trapped here with a mere Tony.
"The Speed Force Prison will be your eternal home!" The Spectre roared, raising his hand and blasting several Energy Waves at Tony behind him, forcing him back.
Massive amounts of Speed Force surged violently, fiercely engulfing him. The Spectre also turned ruthless, erupting with his full Power, starting at Level Eight and rapidly escalating at an astonishing rate. Large swathes of Speed Force were shattered, utterly destroying everything in their path.
The cost was that the body he was using was rapidly collapsing.
Tony lingered behind him, his gaze growing even more sinister. He took out the long-prepared Plot Gem.
"You're finished!!! You'll spend the rest of your life in the Speed Force Prison!!"
