Chapter 454: Invincible under heaven.

Darian suddenly remembered that Max had already been sent by him to the Universe to expand territories for him.

However, Ares in the sky gave him no time to react at all.

He waved his hand abruptly, and the dazzling white lightning in his palm left his hand, transforming into a thick rumbling Spear of Longinus in the air.

The electric light tore through the entire firmament, carrying a terrifying aura as it slashed down towards Darian.

Darian wanted to dodge, but the speed of the rumbling Spear of Longinus was absurdly fast, rushing right before his eyes in a split second.

With no other choice, he had to invoke the power of fear and prepare to take it head-on.

In that The Flash of lightning, a yellow figure suddenly flashed past Darian’s side, carrying his entire person and instantly disappearing from the spot.

The next instant, the rumbling Spear of Longinus crashed down onto the spot where Darian had just been, blasting a startling deep pit in the ground.

The soil at the bottom of the pit was burned to a crisp, sizzling with white smoke and emitting a terrifyingly high temperature.

Dozens of meters away, the figure of Barry Allen stopped, holding Darian horizontally in his arms.

“Whew, good thing I made it in time.”

After Darian killed Thawne, all the Speed Force absorbed by Thawne was released back into nature and fully absorbed back by Barry Allen, directly returning his speed to its peak state.

Under the blessing of the Speed Force, Barry Allen’s self-healing ability was greatly enhanced.

The injury on his thigh recovered quickly, and he immediately rushed over to help.

Darian jumped down from Barry Allen’s arms with black lines on his face: “Can you change the posture next time? What if someone sees us and misunderstands?”

“The situation was too urgent just now, I didn’t care about that much.”

Barry Allen looked a bit embarrassed, raising his head to stare at Ares in the sky: “Who is this guy?”

Darian explained: “Ares, the God of War. He is the mastermind who instigated the war between the two nations of Amazon and Atlantis.”

Hearing this, Barry Allen was slightly stunned: “You mean, that undefeated but always defeated God in Greek mythology?”

Ares: “Are you polite?”

“Can you even speak properly?”

Ares looked down at Barry Allen with a disdainful gaze, his voice pressing down like rolling thunder: “Mere mortal, how dare you meddle in a war of gods. Since that’s the case, you will be crushed to pieces here together with him.”

As soon as his words fell, the dark clouds in the sky churned endlessly, and lightning darted wildly deep within the clouds.

Continuous rumbling muffled sounds echoed endlessly, and the entire firmament felt as if it could collapse at any moment, so oppressive that it made people breathless.

Seeing that Ares was about to unleash an ultimate move, Barry Allen subconsciously wanted to pick up Darian and run away again.

As a result, Darian reacted even faster than him this time.

With a push of his feet, his entire body sprang up, spreading his legs and directly straddling Barry Allen’s shoulders.

“Barry Allen, let’s go!”

Barry Allen: “???”

Darian urged: “Don’t just stand there, run!”

Almost simultaneously, Ares’s arm waved down fiercely, and several thick bolts of lightning split down from the clouds at the same time, charging straight towards the two of them.

Barry Allen shuddered in fright and didn’t care about the posture issue anymore, carrying Darian and running for his life.

Behind them, thunder exploded into a mess, and bolt after bolt of lightning smashed into the ground behind them.

Dirt and gravel were blasted flying all over the sky, closely chasing their moving trajectory with almost no breathing room.

However, sitting on Barry Allen’s shoulders, Darian not only didn’t panic, but instead looked around with great interest.

Since he was closely pressed against Barry Allen, he was also protected by the Speed Force, sparing him from the air friction caused by high-speed movement and the Shockwave brought by inertia.

At the same time, it also pulled his time perception to a level synchronized with Barry Allen, which was the so-called lightning time.

Lightning time was similar to bullet time.

But the difference was that bullet time would only make Darian’s dynamic vision faster, while whether his body could keep up was another story.

Lightning time elevated the speed of the entire person; by comparison, the entire world slowed down, as if it had stopped entirely.

Darian clicked his tongue in admiration: “As expected of an ability on par with the biological field, truly a BUG.”

Just as he was studying the Speed Force, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down ahead of time, blocking their path of travel right on cue.

“Oh no!”

Barry Allen’s expression changed abruptly.

But his speed was simply too fast, and he couldn’t brake at all, watching as he was about to crash headfirst into the lightning.

At this critical moment, Darian suddenly twisted his waist and exerted force, driving Barry Allen’s entire body to swerve to the side.

Barry Allen only felt that his movement trajectory was forcibly changed by a mysterious external force.

His whole body felt like a racing car drifting at high speed on the ground, his shoe soles scraping a string of sparks from the ground, and the two of them slid past almost hugging the edge of the lightning.

Darian was originally just holding a try-it-out mentality when using this skill, but he didn’t expect it to actually succeed.

So, can a speedster also count as a vehicle?

It seemed fine too; after all, those guys in the Justice League often used Barry Allen as a taxi.

Figuring this out, Darian instantly got energized.

While controlling Barry Allen to dodge the lightning, Darian spoke up: “Barry Allen, going on like this is not a solution, we must take the initiative to attack.”

Barry Allen said loudly: “But the problem is I can’t fly either, and I can’t reach that guy.”

“That’s easy enough.”

As Darian spoke, a ball of dark red Hellfire emerged from his palm, and then he slapped it onto Barry Allen’s head.

The Hellfire spread down from his palm, quickly enveloping Barry Allen’s entire body.

Under the coverage of the Hellfire, Barry Allen’s original red and yellow The Flash suit began to change, and in a The Flash, it was replaced by a heavy set of blood-colored armor.

The semi-obscured helmet turned into a full-coverage type, revealing only a pair of eyes glowing with red light.

His entire temperament changed abruptly, exuding a fierce and oppressive aura, making him look just like a blackened version of the The Flash.

Wherever Barry Allen passed, the ground left a string of footprints burning with dark red flames that lingered for a long time without extinguishing.

What shocked him even more was that the flames under his feet began to condense into semi-solid treads.

Every step he stepped on had a real sense of support, and he actually ran up into mid-air treading on the void, running higher and higher.

Barry Allen exclaimed: “What is this!?”

Darian said nonchalantly: “Just a little magic.”

In fact, he used Hellfire to strengthen Barry Allen’s The Flash suit, and then enchanted it to give Barry Allen the ability to walk on air.

Darian raised the Spear of Longinus, pointing the tip of the weapon at Ares: “Giddyup… ah no, Barry Allen, you’ve been buffed, charge for me!”

Barry Allen: “…..”

“You really treat me as a mount?”

However, there was no time to complain right now.

Barry Allen exerted force with both feet, and his whole body was like a flame-carrying lightning bolt, carrying Darian and charging at full speed towards Ares.

Seeing Darian actually charging over riding a person, Ares was dumbfounded instantly.

He had seen people fighting while riding horses a lot.

But fighting while a person rides another person, this was his first time seeing it.

Was he, an old god, failing to keep up with the times?

After a brief trance, Ares reacted immediately, shaking his arms.

The dark clouds above his head churned crazily, and countless bolts of lightning suddenly struck towards Darian and Barry Allen.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!

The sky was illuminated pale white, and the sound of thunder made the earth tremble.

However, under the blessing of the Soul of the Experienced Driver, Darian achieved the unity of man and horse with the Barry horse underneath him, controlling Barry Allen to weave left and right as if entering a realm without lightning.

In a The Flash, they easily passed through the saturated lightning bombardment and rushed right in front of Ares.

Darian’s eyes were sharp, infusing all his strength into the Spear of Longinus in his hand, stabbing fiercely towards Ares like an ancient famous general charging on horseback, with the thunder of the entire sky as the background, the scene could be called epic.

Of course, it would be even better if one ignored that what was beneath him was a living person.

Barry Allen’s speed was simply too fast.

Before Ares could recover from the feedback of the lightning strike, the tip of the spear had already pressed close to his chest.

Puchi!

In front of the Spear of Longinus, which possessed the property of piercing everything, Ares’s armor didn’t play any blocking role.

The spear tip penetrated the armor pieces and stabbed into his flesh, bursting out a spray of blood and piercing directly out from his back.

However, Ares did not fall down.

Instead, he grabbed the Spear of Longinus in his chest and laughed madly.

“New god, do you think you can finish me off like this?”

“Don’t forget, this is a battlefield, this is my home turf!”

While speaking, a large amount of blood qi emerged on the battlefield, surging towards Ares and melting into his body.

Ares’s body expanded rapidly in front of Darian’s eyes, and his bones made a dense crackling sound, instantly transforming into a small giant close to three meters tall.

His entire body was entangled by dense blood qi, and countless cracks burst out on his armor, with dazzling red light leaking through the gaps.

His eyes were red enough to devour people, and his whole person looked like he crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood on the battlefield.

The air was filled with a thick smell of blood, smelling so foul that it made people nauseous.

“I was born in war, and I die in war; as long as war does not cease, neither shall I die!”

Ares let out a sky-shaking roar, shaking Darian and Barry Allen so hard that their earwax was almost coming out.

With one hand, he raised that giant axe, the muscles on his arm bulging, carrying a heavy torrent of blood qi as he slashed towards Darian’s head.

After transforming, Ares’s strength was enhanced.

Darian didn’t pull out the Spear of Longinus for a moment, and quickly mobilized the power of fear, condensing a golden shield in his left hand.

Clang!!!

The sound of the collision was like the roar of thunder, resounding through the entire battlefield.

The terrifying shockwave diffused in all directions, instantly blowing away the surrounding clouds.

Darian’s left hand went numb, and his whole body, along with the Barry horse underneath him, flew sideways, rolling in the air and flying over a hundred meters away.

Before they could get rid of the inertia and steady their figures, Ares’s arm gave a fierce flick, and the double-edged giant axe carrying blood qi left his hand, spinning and tearing through the air, dragging a long dark red wake as it whistled and chased straight after the two of them.

Worried that Barry Allen’s small frame couldn’t handle the aftershock, Darian spread his single wing and flew out from Barry Allen’s shoulder.

The wing membrane flapped in the high-speed receding airflow, forcibly stopping the state of flying backward.

He gripped the Spear of Longinus tightly, mustered all his strength to sweep outward, and smashed the incoming giant axe flying directly away.

Halfway through its flight, the giant axe was suddenly caught by a large hand.

Ares had already rushed to the top of Darian, his three-meter-tall body stretching out, with blood qi surging all over his body.

The moment he caught the axe, he used the momentum of falling to slash down towards Darian, just like a guillotine.

Clang!!

Darian, located below, was at a disadvantage and was directly slashed down by the giant axe, plummeting towards the ground like a shooting star.

With a loud crash, the ground exploded instantly, countless gravel and soil were blasted into mid-air, and smoke and dust rolled upward.

Ares did not stop.

He raised his arm, and the dark clouds above his head churned up again.

Lightning frantically accumulated deep in the clouds, and then bolts of lightning crashed down, shrouding the area where Darian was located.

However, Darian was not fighting alone.

A red figure swept past at an extremely fast speed, scooped Darian up and carried him on his shoulder, instantly rushing out of the range covered by the lightning.

“That’s not right, why am I carrying Darian on my shoulder?”

Barry Allen suddenly reacted.

But before he could think about it carefully, Darian said seriously: “Barry Allen, those lightnings are too troublesome, I have no way to fight him properly, I need your help.”

He could immunize against Fire and Water, but he just couldn’t immunize against electricity.

Moreover, Ares’s lightning was even more powerful than Thor’s.

Even if Max were present, he would probably be directly blown up by the energy of this thunder.

Barry Allen could rely on his speed to dodge those lightnings, but unfortunately his body was too fragile and simply couldn’t handle the battle aftershocks between him and Ares.

Hearing Darian’s words, Barry Allen didn’t hesitate and immediately asked: “How can I help?”

“Very simple, just hold this and run around nearby.”

As Darian spoke, he took out a slender metal needle and handed it to Barry Allen.

This was nothing else; it was precisely the lightning rod he took back from Max’s hands.

Barry Allen asked in surprise: “What is this?”

Darian was just about to speak when he suddenly felt the air pressure above his head change abruptly.

He looked up and saw Ares raising both arms high, the dark clouds lit up once again, and more lightning was condensing, even denser than before.

“There’s no time to explain, I’ll block him, run, Barry Allen, run fast!”

Rumbling——!

Accompanied by deafening roars, countless bolts of lightning poured down from the dark clouds.

Without hesitation, Darian directly spread his single wing and charged towards the lightning, like a warrior charging against the thunderstorm.

Looking at his back, Barry Allen couldn’t help a wave of emotion rising in his heart.

Although Darian looked unreliable as a person and had extreme methods, even more villainous than villains, he could indeed be considered a hero—when things happened, he really dared to step up.

But this emotion lasted for less than an instant.

Those lightnings that were originally supposed to fall on Darian’s head, when they were still a distance away from Darian, suddenly changed direction all together, as if guided by some kind of force, drawing strange arcs in the air, and all smashed towards Barry Allen’s side.

Barry Allen: ∑(0—0;)

What the hell!

Barry Allen opened his eyes wide, scared so much that he quickly turned tail and ran.

Countless lightnings were just like they had installed a tracker, desperately chasing behind him.

Ares hovered mid-air, somewhat dumbfounded.

Strange, he was clearly aiming at Darian, how did all these lightnings run over to Barry Allen’s place?

Could it be that this guy is also some illegitimate son of Zeus, and because he is not favored by Zeus, he was cursed?

No wonder this guy is just like lightning; this completely makes sense now.
