Edward floated in the air, legs crossed, and blood dripped from all of the offices in his face. Despite his gory appearance, he looked calm as the space around him twisted. His Willpower was directly confronting the consciousness of the Speed Force while his mind and soul were navigating through it, gathering as much data as possible.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
With Barry and the other Speedster’s soul, the Speed Force was like his home, allowing him to navigate and understand its ends and out. The process was intoxicating as his mind ran at a speed unlike never before; he felt absolute freedom.
Blurhg!
Edward opened his mouth and vomited a large mouthful of blood. A potion appeared before him, and he drank it.
“How is it?” asked the little elf.
“Good, more than good,” he replied hoarsely.
“So, we got what we wanted?”
“Not only that, but my Willpower has finally reached 9.”
Chris’s meditation technique had previously improved his willpower, and this confrontation was what he needed to reach a new height. He could feel it as soon as he opened his eyes. The world was different, everything felt like it would be okay since he now strongly believed he could survive anything. Lastly, controlling his rules became way easier.
“That’s good.” Not only had her boss improved spiritually, but they could finally replicate this thing.
The Speed Force had applications beyond just surviving the Time Game. By creating a Speed Force Dimension as her core, her processing power can drastically be increased, finally breaching the previous barrier and becoming an entity on par with a Universe Will. By then, her calculations would be as if an infinite version of herself from a multiverse were doing the calculations.
“How is your injury?”
“My soul is injured, but nothing that a few months of rest won’t cure,” replied Edward.
“That’s good. So, what’s next? Do you want to start building your own Speed Force immediately?”
“No. The original one might intervene in our actions. Plus, it’s time to leave this world to prevent any possible trouble.”
“Fascinating, isn’t it,” commented Edward as he looked at the ring surrounded by a powerful shield.
“Yes, a type of magical weapon that weaponizes Willpower; this thing is perfect for you. If you were not such a terrible person, the thing would have probably directly chosen you.”
“Was that last part necessary?” Edward rolled his eyes, but Morgana ignored him. “The good news is this thing is a form of magic, so it should be easier to study and replicate.”
Morgan was partially correct. They quickly recreated the magic behind the rings, but it would fall apart after one use. In the end, they concluded they needed to travel to Oa —the habitats of the Guardians, creators of the rings and Green Lantern Corps.
After knowing the ring's potential, Edward did not want to confront the Lantern Corp — it was not worth it. So, he used the memories he stole from the dead Lantern he stole the ring from.
He released a weaponized Obscurius in some part of the galaxy, creating an artificial crisis. As expected, the Lantern Corp sent 90% of their members to contain the devastating power of the Obscurial. Edward took advantage of this opportunity to infiltrate their main headquarters and found the core secret of the rings.
After this escapade, it was only a matter of time before he recreated his version of the ring.
Green light enveloped Edward as he felt a rushed power. His Willpower experienced a transformation, allowing him to use it effortlessly and to greater heights.
“I can now destroy this universe with this ring,” he commented. The ring granted him Tier 10 power. Although his finding method was limited to creating weapons and energy blasts, it was still Tier 10 and one achieved without the floating city.
Of course, another downside is that he needed to charge it occasionally, but he was more than satisfied with a Tier 10 Weapon that was easily carried as he only needed to add one more ring to his fingers.
It took him a while to study and create the ring, and by the time he finished, his soul injury had headed. He had to acquire two more things: say goodbye to Diana before leaving this world.
{Announcement: According to my previous outline, the MCU arc should have been right after this world, and midway through, he would have gone to the Fate/Moon Universe. I’ve rearranged things so that this arc would be immediately after the DC/Flash Universe so that the MCU arc can flow smoothly.
[There might still be other worlds during the MCU arc, but I will reserve such a move if the arc becomes dull and needs excitement.
[Disclaimer: I have only watched Fate Zero and half of Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works. This arc will take place in Fate/ Stay Night, and I will take some liberty with the plot. I do not know anything about Fate's other timelines and do not intend to get into that mess.
[Additionally, it will be a mini-arc instead of a very short or brief arc. But it will also be very important and play a significant role in the Time Game.]
