Following Alex's advice, Little Barry Allen took the timepad and dashed out, starting to run at superluminal speeds around the entire Wayne Manor.
The enormous energy erupted instantly, causing a huge ring of lightning visible even to the naked eye, catching the attention of Old Batman and Big Barry Allen. Even Kara on the rooftop glanced over with curiosity.
However, they only took a quick glance before returning to their tasks. Though they didn't know what this little troublemaker was up to, since it was Alex's suggestion, there must be a good reason for it. Besides, time was of the essence, and getting Big Barry Allen back to full speed was crucial.
Fortunately, Wayne Manor was secluded, and the surrounding area was mostly Wayne family private property, so the commotion caused by Little Flash didn't attract other people's attention.
After about five or six minutes, Little Barry Allen returned to Alex, but he was in a bad state. He looked pale, covered in sweat, and basically collapsed into a chair, panting heavily. He looked like he had just finished running a marathon. Alex was surprised that simply charging the device had exhausted Little Flash to this extent.
"Are you okay?" Alex was taken aback by Little Barry's condition and didn't immediately take back the timepad.
"I'm okay, I am just really tired," Little Barry gasped for air, looking at Alex with a mix of exhaustion and curiosity. "What is this thing for, anyway? When I was running, it felt like everything around me was being sucked in by this thing. It even seemed to absorb my stamina. Running with this thing is like carrying a terrifying burden."
After catching his breath, Little Barry couldn't help but complain about the peculiarities of the device and tossed it back to Alex. From his expression, it seemed he never wanted to touch the thing again. Catching the timepad, Alex tapped on the screen, and a fingerprint unlocking mechanism appeared for the first time on the device, aside from Time Mistress' interface.
Licking his lips, Alex placed his thumb on the screen. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his thumb, as if it had been caught in a door and electrified at the same time. It was a tearing sensation mixed with a tingling numbness, causing Alex to instinctively retract his finger.
In the next moment, Alex felt a chill throughout his body as the surroundings underwent a drastic change.
Alex found himself in a starry sky, feeling like he was standing on something solid yet not feeling the ground beneath his feet. He was suspended in this cosmic realm. Alex stared in astonishment at the scene before him, completely dumbfounded.
In his field of vision, the starry sky was split by an enormous and incomprehensible rift, dividing the universe into two parts. Alex found himself in a normal universe where stars twinkled peacefully, but on the other side, a perpetual night covered countless worlds.
The dark, torn rift emitted a terrifying aura that was unbearable to look at directly. It seemed to cut off all life force; any world it touched was torn apart and plunged into oblivion. The terror of the energy here was beyond Alex's imagination. No known energy source could compare.
The worlds covered by the dark canopy had turned into dead stars, although far away, Alex could sense the rotting toxins and the black-green magma, crackling with fissures. The land was barren, devoid of any life, only offering an atmosphere of suffocation.
Amidst the shattered worlds, a gigantic "creature" lay between darkness and light, although strictly speaking, it was not something that could be called a living being.
More than an object, it resembled a celestial body formed by the convergence of countless stars, a giant with humanoid contours. Its features were so distorted that they were impossible to discern. Inside its body, infinite starlight flowed, giving an eerie sensation.
However, its surface was covered with wriggling shadows, like shadowy maggots. They continuously twisted and devoured the starlight giant's body, trying to penetrate its core and corrupt it.
Alex stared blankly at everything before him. Though the scene made him dizzy and nauseous, he couldn't tear his eyes away from this unimaginable spectacle.
"Don't look anymore, we don't have the ability to help it."
As Alex was staring at the distant lights and shadows, a voice suddenly rang in his ear. Startled, Alex turned to look, his expression changing rapidly.
As his gaze shifted, an orange-yellow clock appeared in Alex's field of view, with human features on its surface, including limbs.
Alex immediately recognized the device as the Time Mistress, created by the Time Variance Authority. However, this time she wasn't on the time controller; she had manifested in the "real world."
"What do you mean we don't have the ability to help it? Do you know that starlight giant?" Alex opened his mouth, full of questions.
"Data loss. System file error."
The Time Mistress quickly responded, but her words only deepened Alex's frown.
"What's going on? Did something happen to the Time Variance Authority? What's happening here?" Alex asked urgently, but the Time Mistress's response remained cold and emotionless.
"Data loss. System file error."
