Chapter 161 The Fastest, Strongest, and Darkest Batman!
Cedric stood up with a smile on his face and symbolically wiped the blood off his hands.
After all, his hands were covered in blood and could not be wiped clean.
Fred's body lost all life and fell to the ground with a thud.
There was still a hint of a smile on his face.
That was a smile he forced out just now to comfort Hermione.
Cedric drew out his wand and looked at Professor Snape who was in a daze.
Then he waved his wand and a poisonous snake flew out of thin air, biting straight at Snape's throat.
There was a terrible scream, and Hermione saw the little color left in Snape's face disappear as the snake's fangs sank into his neck.
He fell sideways from the chair weakly, his face turned pale, and his dark eyes widened.
A second later, something in the depths of those black eyes seemed to disappear, and they became blank, dull and empty.
Snape didn't move.
"Isn't this considered breaking the rules?"
Cedric smiled at Ares, "After all, I have won."
"Of course not."
Ares looked at Cedric with a complicated look, “You finally made it this far, kid.
"I will give you what I promised you."
After saying that, Ares stretched out his wand and pulled out a bunch of silver threads from his temple.
Then the threads twisted in the air and drilled into Cedric's brain.
"Is this the knowledge of the God of War..."
Cedric sighed, "I never thought it would feel so good!"
Hermione watched Cedric kill Fred and Snape, and at that moment, her mind went blank.
"Ho, ho..."
Hermione wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, only a strange guttural sound came out.
She is speechless.
Then, in the next second, someone pressed down on her arm.
Turning around, I saw Neville, who looked pale.
The round-faced boy's face was soaked with tears, but his hands did not stop moving at all.
This was the first time Hermione discovered that Neville was actually quite strong.
She was pressed down on the table, and Malfoy drew his wand, as if he was going to torture Hermione.
"do not do that."
Cedric suddenly said, “I promised someone that I would kill him first and then Hermione.
“He should be here by now.
"That's right, I also want him to witness the moment of my coronation."
The words fell.
Bruce suddenly appeared in the hall. When he saw Hermione's current condition, he immediately drew out the Supreme Wand.
With a wave of the wand, Neville and Malfoy's bodies were knocked away, and Hermione regained her freedom.
"Are you okay? Hermione."
Bruce immediately came to Hermione's side and blocked her behind him.
"I'm fine, Bruce."
Hermione twisted her arms and asked in disbelief, "How did you get into the Great Hall?"
The party wasn't over yet.
"because……"
"Because I let him in."
Cedric had already walked to the guest of honor seat, and he looked down at Bruce and Hermione.
"At this critical moment, the only person I don't want to be absent is Bruce Wayne.
"Or rather—
"Batman of the main world!"
Cedric opened his arms, and a mysterious force suddenly enveloped the entire auditorium.
They gathered towards Cedric's body and became Cedric's strength.
“Amazing feeling!”
Cedric groaned, and the next second, his outfit suddenly changed.
It turned into a black battle robe with a bat logo engraved on the chest, Batman's battle robe!
"Celebrate, Bruce Wayne."
Cedric's eyes through the mask were extremely cold.
"You witnessed the birth of the fastest, strongest, darkest Batman ever!"
"I……"
Bruce opened his mouth and was about to speak, but the next second, Cedric appeared in front of him.
Then he punched Bruce in the stomach.
"vomit--"
Bruce vomited blood and felt as if his internal organs were being cut by a knife.
"I promised you that I would kill you first and then Hermione, and I kept my promise."
Cedric's eyes were filled with violence and madness.
“Bruce, I really envy you and I hate you.
"Why should you enjoy a bright future just because you were born in the main world? But I have to face eternal darkness!"
boom--
Another punch, and Bruce was sent flying toward the wall, then fell helplessly to the ground.
"But it's different now."
Cedric slowly approached Bruce and placed one foot on the back of his hand.
"From now on, I am the strongest being in this world!
“And you, a visitor from another world?
"You will disappear from my world forever!"
Bruce fell to the ground, still coughing up blood foam.
But he still held his head high.
"is it?"
He said, "Cedric, you really shouldn't have let me into the Great Hall.
"Otherwise, the time you have the crown would not be so short!"
Cedric's expression changed instantly.
"What do you mean?" he said.
"literal meaning."
Bruce suddenly broke into a huge smile.
"See you yesterday, Cedric."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bruce's body began to slowly disappear.
Cedric frowned suddenly?
Illusion spell?
He knew this, Bruce had the magic to create illusions.
But he had clearly been prepared for this move, especially after receiving the prize for victory, Bruce's hallucination had no effect on him anymore!
When did you get infected?
Could it be——
At this moment, Cedric suddenly realized.
……
Time returns to daytime.
Bruce finished his conversation with Cedric and left the Hufflepuff common room.
"Success."
Bruce came to his secret base and said to Katum, "His current state is a bit strange. Sometimes he is Cedric, and sometimes he is Batman. But this also gives me an opportunity."
"Well done, Ave!" the owl encouraged.
"Don't talk about me, how did you complete your mission?
Bruce asked back, "Did you see it clearly just now?"
He had already prepared the owl when he went to find Cedric.
This time, they have to find out the truth that makes things disappear for no reason.
By this time, Katum's appearance had changed greatly.
The Hell Batman armor was transformed into the appearance of an owl and then worn by Katum.
The reason for doing this is to expand Katum's senses in all directions.
His senses are already beyond those of ordinary people. When magnified like this, he can see things that are completely invisible under normal circumstances.
"Strictly speaking, it's not clear."
Katoom said, "At the exact moment your wand disappeared, I saw a glimmer of blue."
If you think further, you can't see anything clearly.
But that's enough.
This shows that there is indeed someone behind all these strange events, but the speed is too fast to see clearly. Too fast?
Bruce immediately thought of a dark Batman he had seen in person.
"I know what you're thinking."
Katoom said, “The Red Death, or the Flash, or any of the speedsters, right?
"But here's the thing, Bruce, there's one thing you need to understand.
“The prerequisite for becoming a speedster is to possess the Speed Force, but in the world of Harry Potter, there is no Speed Force.
"The Speed Force only exists in the DC world. In other words, any speedster who leaves DC will become an ordinary person."
Speaking of this, Owl also felt a little regretful.
If everything is explained by the Speed Force, a lot of things would make sense.
Why did Bruce appear at the end of the corridor in an instant when he wanted to enter the auditorium?
Why did Hermione disappear in front of Bruce?
Why did the Supreme Wand suddenly appear in Cedric's hands?
That's because the speedster's speed is too fast, so fast that it exceeds the limits of our senses.
The speedster might just come up to someone and take their stuff.
But for the person involved, it just means that the thing suddenly disappears.
In addition, there is an explanation for the disappearance of those powerful people.
Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Dumbledore, even Snape.
Why were they defeated silently and then disappeared forever?
Because they were thrown into the Speed Force space!
This was also confirmed by Snape's words, who said that he had been wandering in the deserted castle for more than a hundred years.
This is exactly the characteristic of the speed force space.
Although the Speed Force space is a different space, if someone enters it, it will simulate the environment that the other person is most familiar with.
This is what happened to Snape. He mistakenly thought he was still in Hogwarts Castle, but he didn't know that he had already been thrown into the Speed Force.
Moreover, in the speed force space, there is no concept of time. One second inside may be ten thousand years outside, and ten thousand years inside may be only one second outside.
This also corresponds to what Snape once said, that he wandered for a hundred years.
With the speed force, everything can be explained.
But the problem now is that there is no speed force.
That's why the owl felt pity.
But after listening to Katum's complaints, Bruce seemed extremely optimistic.
"Katum, I don't know if you've noticed that our problems have been greatly simplified."
Bruce said, "We had to consider so many issues before, but now, we only need to consider one issue -
"Is it possible for the Speed Force to appear in the Harry Potter world?"
After saying that, Bruce raised his hands, stretched out two fingers each, and pressed them on the owl's head.
"Think about it, Katoom, think about it!"
He encouraged with confidence, "You must be able to understand this point. Is it possible for the Speed Force to appear in this world?"
Bruce's fingers kept pressing, as if giving Katum a brain massage.
It also seemed like some mysterious ritual was being performed to enlighten the owl's wisdom.
"Oh oh oh oh!"
The owl uttered a series of strange calls.
Then, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I thought of it!"
Katoom shouted, "It's possible! It's possible that the Speed Force appears in the Harry Potter world!"
……
Go back a few minutes.
Bruce, carrying Hermione on his back, had already arrived outside Hogwarts Castle.
In front of me is a familiar scene, the water of the Black Lake and the stone bridge.
At this moment, Bruce had completely relaxed. He seemed to have done everything he should do, and slowly put Hermione down.
"I remember that in the divination class before, your tea leaves had two omens."
Bruce said to Hermione, "The wave shape represents the sign of water, and the ominous sign of not knowing whether it is a dog or a wolf."
He looked at the black lake in front of him.
"I think if I really hadn't prepared anything, my original fate would have been to sink into this lake with you."
"Bruce!"
Hermione had no idea why Bruce could be so relaxed.
Cedric is killing people!
Especially looking at his speed, they were completely powerless to stop him.
"Hermione, don't worry."
Bruce turned around and looked at Hogwarts in the night.
The lights have gone out, and the castle is like a beast crawling in the darkness. In its belly, countless teachers and students are sleeping peacefully.
Cedric claims to have been crowned, and he wants to kill everyone in the castle without even a second's delay.
"Fortunately, I bought him insurance."
Bruce suddenly laughed and said, "If he wants to kill the others in Hogwarts, he must kill Hermione first, but if he wants to kill Hermione, he must kill me first."
Killing him is absolutely impossible.
Bruce turned his head and looked Hermione in the eyes.
“Now, a lot of people have died, but I promise you, I will turn this around.
"This tragedy will not happen. This is my promise to you."
Hermione shook her head and said, "I don't understand what you are saying! Bruce, you--"
"I have to go now!"
Bruce ruffled Hermione's hair, and Miss Know-It-All's already messy hair became even messier.
"Cedric's going to wake up soon. I'm running out of time."
"Bruce..."
Hermione had just opened her mouth when she realized that Bruce and Katum had disappeared from her sight.
The next second, Cedric appeared in front of her.
"Where's Bruce?" His tone was extremely angry, as if he was about to start a killing spree in the next second.
"I do not know."
Hermione shook her head. This time, she really didn't know.
……
In the Tunnel of the Heavens, Bruce and Katoom floated quietly.
The surrounding space is bizarre and colorful. A man and a bird are gazing at the world of Harry Potter.
"So, the Speed Force really came into being?"
"Yes, I have."
Katum said softly, "Because of the pursuers this time, everything has changed."
Bruce nodded, then read out a name that was extremely unfamiliar to him.
"Savitar..."
The pursuer sent by Barbatos this time was Savitar, who called himself the God of Time.
Savitar's true identity is the time remnant of Barry Allen, the Flash.
That was the shade of blue that Katum had seen before.
"The Speed Force didn't exist in the Harry Potter world originally."
Owl said, "But in the DC world, there is no Speed Force."
The birth of the Speed Force was not naturally formed, but was created by the Flash Barry Allen.
The moment he created the speed force, the speed force appeared in all three dimensions of the past, present and future.
To explain it with a mysterious sentence in the comics:
“As Barry Allen runs, he will create a kinetic barrier between the present and the time barrier.
"The Speed Force is an electrical energy that exists in every dimension, in every universe, and in every age, connected to every part of reality.
"The Speed Force encompasses all possible knowledge of time and space. He is the Flash's all-encompassing encyclopedia."
In other words, Barry is the Speed Force, and the Speed Force is Barry!
"I think that when Savitar first came to this world, he also suddenly lost his speed force and became an ordinary person."
The owl said, "But then he figured out a way to create the Speed Force in Harry's world."
The moment the speed force appeared, the past, present and future of the Harry Potter world also possessed the speed force.
"So now Cedric is, as he said, the fastest, strongest, and darkest Batman."
He possesses the speed force of the God of Speed, the divine knowledge of the God of War, and Batman's own characteristics.
And a heart that has fallen into darkness and despair.
"But what does it matter?"
Katum grinned, "Bruce, now is the time, let's turn the situation around!"
