The Boys: Viltrumite Bloodline Panel

The heaviest penalty for declining to rule is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.

~ Plato

Barry’s brow twitched. As an upright superhero upholding the law, he instinctively felt a bit repelled by such vigilantism, but he still couldn’t help asking:

"How many... people have you killed?"

"The criminals who died by my hands number in the hundreds, I suppose."

"However, according to statistics from lists we intercepted in secret, there are over three hundred child victims. As for the countless other adults, they are simply impossible to calculate."

"Believe me, Allen, if hell exists, it definitely won’t be any gentler than that place. Their actions would make even Satan weep upon seeing them!"

Hillel tossed and played with the empty Dr. Pepper cup in his hand, his tone indifferent.

"Zoom has killed many innocents, right? But the people where I’m from sometimes don’t kill. Instead, they torture. Imagine being locked away from youth onward and used like spare parts..."

The few people in the control room exchanged glances, the vigilance in their eyes dissipating quite a bit. The other party didn’t seem like an extremely evil person, but rather an extremist of justice.

Although his methods were as brutal as a supervillain’s, at least this man had an exceptionally clear bottom line.

Upholding justice.

As for whether he kills or not, Oliver in neighboring Star City (that is, Green Arrow) also used extremely brutal methods at times.

"Um... if it’s as you say, what kind of punishment would your native laws hand down?" Cisco asked inappropriately.

The others all cast their gazes.

Cisco immediately defended himself. "Why are you looking at me like that? I just wanted to understand..."

"Generally speaking, crimes like that would definitely result in the death penalty. However, because the perpetrators are all high-ranking politicians occupying lofty positions and closely connected to one another, even if it gets exposed, it basically has no impact."

Hillel said indifferently.

"This is a drawback of the merger of power and wealth in the bureaucratic system," Harrison nodded and said.

The others looked at him again.

Harrison defended himself. "On my Earth, I’ve also been threatened many times. Doing scientific research is sometimes more about worldly sophistication!"

Caitlin timely pulled the topic back. "Then why did you come to our world this time? And why did you save us inside the wormhole last time?"

Hillel couldn’t help taking a few extra glances at her.

Caitlin’s fate was quite tragic. After her fiancé Ronnie self-detonated, she spent a very long time walking out of it, and then prepared to start her next romance. As a result, Jay was killed, and it was finally proven that Jay was a time remnant created by Zoom.

A pure turncoat.

In short, Caitlin’s romances always ended in nothing.

Understood from his perspective, it was purely a curse of bringing misfortune to husbands.

It could rival a certain eldest young lady of the Redfield family. (Claire from Resident Evil)

Hillel said, "I need to use the spatial nodes of your world as a transit station to go to the next world."

"As for why I saved you last time..." Hillel shrugged. "It was purely out of whim. Don’t take it to heart. I know you want to ask why transit here, because some worlds have a Supreme Will..."

"The Flash should be able to understand. You have entered the Speed Force. They possess a will of their own. And what I’ve offended is a Supreme Existence terrifyingly several levels beyond the Speed Force here!"

Hillel swept his gaze around and felt something was slightly off.

Last time after he blasted open the wormhole, Ronnie shouldn’t have self-detonated yet, so Caitlin’s lonely-star fate should have changed.

How come Firestorm wasn’t seen?

"Caitlin, I remember when we blasted the wormhole last time, didn’t you guys have a combined Firestorm here? Call him out to Flash!"

Caitlin’s expression changed slightly, her eyes dimming a bit.

Barry sighed and said heavily, "Ronnie is dead... Mr Guardian."

"Dead?" Hillel was stunned. "That’s not right. Didn’t he not have time to self-detonate to eliminate the wormhole yet? How could he be dead?"

Barry explained, "Even though the wormhole shattered, the remaining spatial rifts still connected Earth-1 and Earth-2 together."

"Once when we went to Earth-2 to save Harrison’s daughter, Ronnie went over there as well. But during the retreat, he was killed by Zoom’s subordinate Echo!"

"I see." Hillel nodded with sudden realization. "Then where is his body?"

"There is no body." Caitlin took a deep breath, holding back her tears. "To prevent Zoom from getting Firestorm’s matrix data, Ronnie forcibly separated from Professor Stein at the last moment of his life, triggering a micro-nuclear explosion on Earth-2... In the end, only Professor Stein was brought back by Barry."

Hillel sat on the leather chair, touching his chin thoughtfully.

This plot deviated slightly from the original American TV show, but overall it was roughly the same. In this world, everyone seemed to have their own destiny.

Ronnie had to kick the bucket, making way for that whatchamacallit later on.

Tsk!

One can only say it matches the original work.

Mixing black and white has almost become a standard configuration for American TV shows, especially in the late seasons of The Flash, where you bump into one of those every three steps.

This is the so-called convergence of worldlines.

"I can tell that you guys really paid a considerable price to deal with that blue Pikachu rat." Hillel shoved the last bite of the hamburger into his mouth, clapped his hands, and stood up.

Barry stared closely at Hillel, complex light flashing in his eyes. "The Guardian, I have a question. When you were in the industrial area just now, you clearly already agreed to help us capture Zoom alive."

"Why did you suddenly change your mind at the very last moment? You clearly only needed to lift a finger to end all of this and save Henry!"

Hillel put his hands in his pockets, walked past Barry, and went to the S.T.A.R. Labs computer.

"Because Big Brother is watching me, Barry. You have your own destiny. People from foreign worlds cannot interfere, otherwise they will be expelled. When a traveler is crossing borders, this is the last thing they want to see!"

"Once subjected to expulsion, what I face is imprisonment lasting several years, or even decades!"

"Last time I ruled Westeros, that was still a low-dimensional world. If I commit offenses again this time, who knows if I’ll be moved to a high-dimensional world, and by then delaying for several hundreds of years is entirely possible!"

Cisco and Barry were stunned at the same time.

"Wait!"

Cisco interrupted, not even caring about being afraid anymore. "What continent did you just say you went to?"

"Is it that Westeros I understand?" Barry’s eyes lit up.

"Guys?" Caitlin spread her hands.

Pay attention to the focus points, will you? We were clearly probing the background of this stranger!

Facing Caitlin’s reminder, the two Game of Thrones fanatics clearly had no time to attend to the main plot.

"Caitlin, don’t speak for a moment, this is the most important part!" Cisco said with an excited face.

Barry nodded.

"Westeros, Essos, Dragonmother, three dragons, and the White Walkers beyond the Wall... That’s right, I went to the world penned by George Martin!"

Hillel nodded, completely not caring about the envy in the eyes of the two Game of Thrones fanatics.

"Then you... met Daenerys Targaryen?"

"Yeah, we have a kid!"

Barry: "..."

Cisco: "..."

Harrison directly interrupted, "You two, let’s talk about some serious business!"

He looked at Hillel. "Could the Supreme Will you mentioned be staring at the few of us, not allowing actions that change the future to happen?"

"This is hard to explain!" Hillel said. "Your future is not fixed to you, but from my perspective, everyone’s future has already reached its endgame. For example, you already know Dragonmother will die at Jon Snow’s hands..."

"Oh oh oh! Bro, no spoilers, the Game of Thrones in our world hasn’t updated to that installment yet!" Barry hurriedly interrupted.

But it was already too late.

Cisco’s heart turned to ashes instantly!

"You mean Dragonmother was killed by Jon Snow?"

"Yeah, that’s right. This fits the plot template of self-cannibalism within the Targaryen family."

Hillel nodded.

"Inside the Targaryen family, what? Jon Snow is Daenerys Targaryen’s relative? In that case, he isn’t Stark’s illegitimate son!" Barry also had a shocked expression.

Great! Spoiled again!

Wells and Caitlin exchanged glances and gave up communication on the spot.
