345. Hamster sh.


    "No."


    Hearing ck Canary''s words, Jason rejected the idea without a second thought.


    "We can''t leave you here alone. It''s too dangerous."


    Although Jason was eager to confront Batman—a moment he''d anticipated for years—he couldn''t bring himself to leave ck Canary alone to face these cybeic monsters.


    ck Canary swung her hand, deflecting Wonder Woman''s sword. In the next moment, her hammer erupted with massive arcs of lightning, sending Wonder Woman flying backward.


    Wonder Woman''s heels left visible marks on the ground as she tried to resist the lightning; her body was wrapped in writhing electric currents, snaking through her mechanical circuitry.


    While unleashing continuous lightning bolts, ck Canary turned her head and said, "Jason, you''re right to be concerned. If we give Batman time to prepare, all our ns will be ruined. Now, go!"


    "But…" Jason wanted to say more.


    "No ''buts.'' I was your instructor back when you were Robin, so now, follow orders!" ck Canarymanded firmly, giving him a slight smile. "And don''t underestimate me!"


    Wonder Woman might indeed be a demigod of Olympus, but ck Canary had inherited the power of the Norse gods. With Odin''s blessing, the power of Thor coursed through her blood, and at this moment, Diana was not ck Canary''s equal in pure divine strength.


    "There''s no time to hesitate, Jason!" Dick said, knowing that Jason, despite his brash exterior, had a soft and conflicted heart. He made the decision for him. Meanwhile, rk and Damian disengaged from their fights and regrouped with Dick on the edge of the battlefield.


    As Martian Manhunter and Mera prepared to pursue, ck Canary leaped high into the air, summoning a st of lightning that forced them all back.


    "Now, go!"


    "Got it. Be careful. We''ll disable the central control console and free them as soon as possible."


    With a heavy sigh, Jason turned and followed Dick and the others, heading toward the central tower.


    As Darkseid''s stronghold, Apokolips was treacherous, with deadly traps at every turn. Even though most of the parademon forces were gone and Darkseid himself was absent, rk remained vignt, fully focused on his surroundings to avoid any potential ambush.


    The group soon arrived at arge, ominous building. Dick nced at the disy on his wrist and said, "It''s just ahead. ording to the map structure Lex provided, this should be Apokolips'' main power station. If we can destroy it, we can cut off the energy supply to the entire."


    "There might be an ambush inside," Jason reminded them.


    "No, there''s nobody… wait, something''s wrong." As rk used his X-ray vision to scan the building''s interior, he froze in shock.


    "What''s going on in there?" Jason asked, noticing rk''s expression.


    rk didn''t answer. Instead, he surged forward, punching open the door to the building and rocketing into the Apokolips power station.


    As the main energy supply for the entire, this station should have been filled with immense power sources. But as Superman entered, he found himself in a vast, empty hall.


    Without looking away, rk''s gaze remained fixed on the center of the hall.


    In the empty energy hall, a massive energy collector made up of fourrge metal rings was continuously rotating. Countless chaotic lightning bolts shed, emitting blinding light, but before they could leave the area, they were absorbed back into the machinery on the rings.


    At the center of the rings, a cosmic treadmill floated in midair. Even from afar, rk could see a red figure running on it, releasing immense energy.


    "Oh, my God…"


    Jason and the others, who had just caught up with rk, stood frozen. "This is Apokolips'' power station? He''s using sh to power the entire!"


    rk couldn''t hold back any longer. In an instant, he vanished from his spot and dashed toward the rings, tearing off the mind-control device attached to sh''s head and freeing him.


    He gentlyid sh on the ground. Barry Allen looked nothing like his former heroic self—his face was pale and gaunt, his body had shrunk significantly, and even his suit was now loose on him.


    Seeing sh''s weakened state, rk turned around and unleashed a st of heat vision, obliterating the cosmic treadmill into pieces. The loud explosion jolted the weakened sh awake, and he opened his eyes slowly, body twitching.


    "...rk?"


    "It''s me, Barry. How are you? Are you okay?" rk held Barry, helping him to lie down morefortably.


    "You… came to save me…" Barry barely had the energy toplete a sentence.


    "Barry, how did this happen to you?" rk clenched his fists in anger.


    "...In ourst battle… Apokolips'' central reactor was destroyed… Darkseid turned me into its recement," Barry said, his body twitching uncontrobly, the spasms intensifying.


    "Please… you have to stop me… please…"


    Long-term mind control and muscle memory had left Barry unable to control himself. Although he was free from the treadmill, his body continued to move mechanically.


    rk sighed, closing his eyes in pain. He desperately wanted to help Barry, but he had no solution. If only Alex were here, maybe he''d know what to do.


    At that moment, Jason quietly walked over. With a swift "thud," rk opened his eyes to find Barry had been knocked out cold by a blow from Jason''s staff.


    "What are you…"


    "I''m helping him ''stop.''"


    Jason replied casually, and, as if to prove his point, Barry''s twitching subsided noticeably. Though he still trembled slightly, the movement had reduced significantly.


    "Barry needs rest. We can''t leave him here alone," rk said.


    "Oh, so you''re nning to carry him into battle?" Jason crossed his arms.


    "Someone needs to stay and watch over Barry. If something were to happen to him while he''s unconscious, it''d be disastrous," rk said, concerned.


    "Forget it," Jason shook his head. "There''s no one here. As long as weplete the n, sh''s safety will be guaranteed."


    "But…"


    rk wanted to argue, but Jason had already turned and headed deeper into the facility.


    Damian and Dick exchanged a look, then followed Jason in silence, their actions clearly expressing their stance. Seeing this, rk could only sigh. He ced Barry in a rtively safe spot, then turned and ran after Jason.
