Chapter 255: Negative Speed Force
Reverse-Flash remained silent.
Although he was mentally prepared, having his identity exposed by Jack still caught him off guard.
He stopped vibrating and took off his mask, showing the handsome face of Harrison Wells.
"So? Who are you exactly? You know the Flash, and you know me, are you also from the future?"
This was the only possibility that Reverse-Flash thought was likely.
The other person could be from a long way in the future and know both the Flash's and his own identities.
"The future? Not exactly, but I am indeed not from this world. Coming here this time was just an accident."
Jack shrugged, and his tone was full of sadness.
If given a choice, he would rather be with Diana than playing Santa Claus here.
"You come from another world? The multiverse?"
Reverse-Flash's gaze turned cold.
The idea of the multiverse was not unknown to him. Speedsters could not only travel through time but also sometimes cross different universes.
But it was not easy.
If Jack came from another universe, then Reverse-Flash needed to be cautious because most people from that universe had ways to fight speedsters.
"I am indeed heading to another universe, but I just got the location wrong."
Jack sighed. He did not want to think about this any longer and instead asked,
"Alright, why did you come looking for me? Did I interfere with your plans?"
"..."
Reverse-Flash was quiet for a moment while he thought about the pros and cons.
Then he spoke up.
"Do not get in the way, Do not get in touch with Flash, If you can do these two things, we can live together in peace."
Originally, Reverse-Flash's mindset led him to think that the best way to deal with things he could not control that could stop him from going home was just to kill them.
However, Reverse-Flash decided against acting rashly in considering Jack's mysterious and strange powers as well as his high energy readings.
After all, he was not strong enough to fight in a battle with an unsure result with his current rate of recovery speed.
This time, when he came to negotiate with Jack, if the negotiations succeeded, everything would be fine. If it didn't...
"Oh, about that..."
Jack shrugged and said,
"You might be disappointed. I just got in contact with Barry, made his wish come true, and got something in return."
"By the way, would you like to give it a try?"
He looked at Reverse-Flash, his interest piqued.
"You want to go home, and I can help you, but it might need you to pay the price."
To be honest, Jack was quite interested in Reverse-Flash's ability to negate the Speed Force around him, the power that could consume speed.
When hearing the word "price," Reverse-Flash frowned but quickly relaxed.
"Yes, As long as you can help me go home, I'm willing to give everything."
For Reverse-Flash, the resentment between him and the Flash was far less tempting than returning home.
"You've made a smart decision."
Jack nodded and couldn't help but laugh.
While Reverse-Flash was still wondering, he suddenly felt a void inside him.
Then, to his horror, he realized that his connection to the Negative Speed Force, which had been partly restored, had disappeared entirely instantly.
On the other side, Jack was surrounded by a surge of red energy. Slowly, the lightning got stronger until it surrounded him.
"This can't be possible!"
Reverse-Flash looked at this scene in disbelief. He was too familiar with this power—it was inside him just ten seconds ago.
"What an amazing power!"
In the middle of the red lightning, Jack closed his eyes and carefully sensed the additional Negative Speed Force inside him.
By using the power of the Dreamstone, he directly cut the connection of the NegativeSpeed Force from Reverse-Flash's body, which was different from energy absorption.
Energy absorption involves a process of transformation and fusion, but this method completely ignored that process.
The Reverse-Flash's Negative Speed Force connected directly with Jack's power, and his body began to generate Negative Speed Force continuously.
However, Jack felt that something was lacking.
What was it?
Jack thought of a possibility.
While Reverse-Flash was still in shock, the red lightning suddenly vanished, disappearing completely as if it had never appeared.
Jack dusted off his clothes and let out a breath.
"You..."
Reverse-Flash stared at him in shock,
"How did you do that?."
The emptiness he felt inside confirmed that it wasn't an illusion. The other person had, in fact taken away his speed.
"That's the price, understand?"
Jack said casually,
"If you want to go home, you have to pay a price. Your power belongs to me now. Thanks for your cooperation."
"Go home! Yes, go home!"
Reverse-Flash's eyes brightened, and he couldn't wait to ask,
"When will you send me back?"
Losing his speed didn't matter to him as long as the Flash was still around. He could regain his speed again.
"You can do it now, but I think you should wait two more days."
Jack waved his hand to show Reverse-Flash that he should not hurry.
"I still need one more thing. Once I have it, you might get some unexpected benefits."
"Benefits?"
Reverse-Flash furrowed his brow. He didn't care about any benefits; he wanted to go home right now.
But before he could speak, Jack suddenly pointed his finger at him, and a stream of red electricity struck him directly.
In the middle of the panic, Reverse-Flash realized that he didn't feel any discomfort.
On the opposite, his lost power had returned, and it was even more powerful than during his peak.
At this moment, he could be considered the fastest he had ever been!
He even felt like he could travel through time and return to the future at any moment.
Reverse-Flash was so excited that he disappeared in a flash of lightning, only to come back a few seconds later in the same place.
Just now, he had circled the city in an instant.
Feeling the reality of it all, Reverse-Flash realized that he wasn't dreaming.
His speed had returned.
And it was faster than ever before.
