There is a special connection between the Reverse-Speed Force and the Speed Force. If the Speed Force is compared to a river, the Reverse-Speed Force is like a ditch branched off from the river. Without doing anything, it can naturally obtain Speed Force energy.
However much is used, that much can be replenished.
Continuously.
The Reverse-Flash is like a creature in the ditch. He can freely use the Speed Force energy in the ditch, but he cannot transfer the Speed Force energy outside the ditch.
Samuel, however, was different.
Although he was also in the ditch and could freely use the Speed Force energy in the ditch, he had his own black hole, which could suck away the Speed Force energy in the ditch and transfer the sucked-away Speed Force energy outside the ditch.
As long as he kept sucking and sucking, he could completely drain the Speed Force energy in the ditch, dry up the creatures in the ditch, and even swallow the large with the small, draining the entire river.
Samuel being able to do this was unrelated to the Reverse-Speed Force ability, but mainly relied on his absorption ability.
His absorption ability was already stacked with Starlight, Black King Shaw, Zombie Wanda, the alien Jonah, Killer Frost, and over five hundred Kryptonians. The effect of his absorption was not far from breaking through the sky.
Moreover, he hadn't basked in the Sun for so many years for nothing. His cells could store a very large amount of Speed Force energy.
If it were someone else, absorbing too much would probably cause them to explode and die from the Speed Force energy!
His only disadvantage now was that the conversion speed was relatively slow. The absorption and conversion speeds were not proportional. When the energy volume was small, there was no impact, but when the volume was large, the difference became apparent.
If quantified, the effect for large volumes was roughly five to one.
Absorb five units of Speed Force energy, convert one unit!
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Weather Manipulation (Clyde Mardon)"
The sudden reward drop made Samuel stunned for a moment. His combat detection range had reached over seven thousand meters. Within this range, as long as combat occurred, rewards would drop.
It was basically combat among ordinary people, and the dropped rewards were points.
The more points dropped, the wider the combat detection range increased. The wider the range, the more points dropped, forming a perfect cycle.
True · Man Sits at Home, Rewards Come from the Sky!
To avoid constant dinging sounds in his head, Samuel had already turned off the sound for point-based reward drops.
"Clyde Mardon — Weather Manipulation —"
"This must be the Weather Wizard, right?"
Samuel remembered there were three Weather Wizards in total. It started with the Mardon brothers. They were originally bank robbers. On the night of the particle accelerator explosion, they escaped in a small plane, but were hit by the explosion's energy, thus gaining the ability to manipulate weather.
This ability was strong in a way, and also average in a way. Used well, it could destroy cities, but if they encountered an opponent whose abilities countered theirs, they would be defeated in minutes.
Samuel glanced at the system panel. This ability had already merged with the original [Create Any Form of Wind] ability to become [Weather Manipulation].
As Barry Allen's debut opponent when he became the Flash, the Weather Wizard's strength was just average. In the end, he seemed to have been shot and killed by Joe West!
Whether he died or not wasn't important at all. What was important was that his ability still had value for use!
Just like getting Barry Allen's Speed Force from the Justice League Universe, he could obtain his ability by making a wish.
Then —
It could be used to enhance his own ability, or it could be used to recruit subordinates.
As just mentioned, there were three Weather Wizards in total: Clyde Mardon and his brother Mark Mardon, and — Mark Mardon's daughter.
However, her relationship with her Father and uncle wasn't good. She was originally a meteorologist and later used a high-tech wand or staff to control the weather. After her plot to kill her Father failed, she planned to cause destruction in Central City and was eventually defeated by the Flash.
Samuel wasn't interested in the grudges and relationships between the Father and daughter, but he was quite taken with her looks and personality!
Anyway, Clyde Mardon was dead, and his ability was wasted. It was better to trade it over and get himself another usable girl. (It's not a typo, think about it, savor it!)
"Samuel, come quickly to the surface control room! You won't believe what happened to Barry!" Cisco's excited voice rang out on the broadcast.
When Samuel arrived at the surface control room, everyone else was already there. Barry Allen said he could suddenly run incredibly fast, like a bolt of lightning. Calling Samuel over was to prepare to do a test together to see how fast he could actually run.
A certain abandoned airport.
Cisco Ramon prepared equipment for Barry Allen to monitor his physical condition and to communicate clearly while moving at high speed.
After half an hour of busy preparations, everything was ready. Barry Allen put on a red bodysuit he particularly liked. After Cisco shouted "Start," he ran out with a boom.
A strong wind hit them head-on. Cisco and Caitlin were blown back repeatedly. Even Dr. Harrison Wells's electric wheelchair slid back quite far. However, his face wasn't as surprised as Cisco and Caitlin's. Instead, it held an expression of unclear meaning.
It seemed like reminiscence, like lament, and also like relief.
Indescribably complex.
Samuel wrapped Caitlin in his arms. After the strong wind disappeared, he patted her shoulder and said softly: "Okay, it's over."
Caitlin stood up and said fiercely: "It's not over."
???
Samuel had a look of surprise.
"If you don't swear this time and promise that you will absolutely never mess around outside again, I will absolutely not forgive you."
Samuel: ...
This was something from two chapters ago, and it's still not over?
Uh, also, can you change the lines for breaking up and getting back together each time? Last time, You said the same thing!
So, as they say, the home flower is still not as fragrant as the wild flower!
Cough cough—
Samuel coughed twice, feigning a cough, and pointed at the computer: "You monitor Barry's physical condition first."
After speaking, he leaned over and kissed her lightly, whispering, "I bought two tickets for the movie tonight, the one you said you wanted to see a few days ago."
Caitlin snorted and turned back to look at the computer seriously.
Samuel was familiar with this reaction; it would be more troublesome if she directly said yes or no.
This meant she wasn't over it yet and was still in 'business as usual' mode. Conversely, if she didn't respond at all, it meant she had tacitly agreed, and then he could use tactics to coax her.
Calling it coaxing was just giving her a way out.
Giving gifts, watching movies, short trips—Samuel had used all these methods, and basically succeeded every time, ending up back together with her in a muddled way.
Caitlin never said she forgave Samuel, and Samuel never promised it wouldn't happen again or begged for her forgiveness.
Anyway, the two of them just broke up and got back together in this muddled way. Let alone bystanders like Cisco, even they themselves were used to this way of interacting.
