This guy actually looked suspicious and had no trust in Ian's "idealistic theory" whatsoever.
“Of course it can!” Ian began his earnest ploy, “The Speed Force is one of the strongest forces in the universe! As long as you believe in it enough, it will never let the speedster down!”
His words carried an inspiring tone.
The Flash was deeply moved by Ian's words.
My blood is boiling.
I could even feel the Speed Force surging within me.
“Then I’ll give it a try.” Barry Allen took a deep breath, assumed a starting position—then suddenly froze, his entire movement as if it had been paused.
"what happened?"
Ian tilted his head.
"Forehead……"
Barry's expression gradually became strange.
It was as if I had heard some incredible sound.
"I... am hallucinating again."
He hesitated for a moment before responding to Ian.
"Have you been contaminated again?" Ian asked, somewhat surprised. If it were anyone else who had been contaminated repeatedly, he would think that person was unlucky, but if it was The Flash, there was no need to be alarmed.
The fact that the Justice League members who are constantly getting banned is a testament to their high level of expertise.
“No, I haven’t been contaminated. I haven’t been invaded or contaminated by the outer universe.” Barry Allen didn’t want to be locked in the cage again, so he quickly denied it.
"It's the Speed Force... it's talking to me."
The Flash hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
His expression became even more complicated.
"what?"
This was somewhat unexpected by Ian.
"It said it couldn't do that kind of thing, and told me not to try it blindly, and not to be led astray by your influence..." The Flash looked at Ian with a look of shock.
In the hallucination he experienced after using the Speed Force, he clearly felt the Speed Force's fear of Ian. The youngest son of the Kent family even thought the Speed Force was a strange thing!
"You believe in the Speed Force but not me? The Speed Force is such a morbid concept! Uncle Barry is really not that close to me!" Ian sighed, feeling quite frustrated.
Barry was taken aback by what he said.
For a moment, I didn't know how to respond.
He is a speedster.
Of course we should believe in the Speed Force.
"Perhaps we can try another approach."
Seeing that Ian seemed unwilling to give up, Barry Allen, who had been scolded by the Speed Force, quickly looked into the distance. The dream detector that Batman had tried to use earlier gave him a sudden inspiration.
"Actually... Batman has already created a new dream-detecting machine. We can modify this machine slightly so that it can observe Bruce's dreams through Superman!"
This is the solution the Flash came up with after his Speed Force flowed through his brain.
"Can it be done?"
Ian had some doubts about the Flash's practical skills. He remembered the inventions that the Flash and his team had made, and how each first attempt was as effective as Iron Man's initial inventions.
It's almost impossible to succeed at all.
"Of course!"
Barry Allen, seemingly brimming with confidence, declared, "Now that we have Superman as a 'converter,' all we need to do is get the machine to capture Superman's sensory signals!"
“Bruce’s previous failure stemmed from his desire to observe directly, while we only need to observe indirectly, and we’re sure to succeed.” The Flash felt he had come up with a method that Batman hadn’t considered before.
"I actually have a solution too."
Ian thought the Flash's idea was indeed correct, but he really didn't want to sit in the lab watching the movie. He wanted to participate personally so that he wouldn't lose the MVP honor.
Extraterrestrial invasion is his story!
"Let's try out my method first."
The Flash was a little worried that Ian would pull some kind of trick this time.
As he spoke, he used Batman's communication device to dial Star Labs' number and began gathering his scientist friends to brainstorm ideas.
For the next ten minutes, Barry Allen entered a dual mode of "speedster + scientist." He sped through the laboratory, modifying the dream-device.
This was the very instrument he had helped Bruce recreate, so he certainly knew it well. For this reason, Barry Allen listened to Cisco's vibrational wave theory while adjusting the energy frequency according to Caitlin's advice, and even took the time to call Dr. Wells to inquire about the possibility of using the Speed Force as a "bridge."
Dr. Wells certainly knew, after all, he was Reverse-Flash disguised as the wheelchair-bound man, and he also possessed knowledge from the future, so his explanation made the Flash understand.
"So, Barry, what exactly happened on your end?" Dr. Wells asked casually, trying to get the specifics out of the Flash.
"There are some problems. Batman and Superman are..." Without any warning, the Flash, who trusted Dr. Wells a lot, was about to respond.
"boom!"
Suddenly, Ian snatched the communicator from the Flash's hand, and before Barry could react, the $3000 brand-new phone was casually stuffed into the Teen Evil God's mouth.
It wasn't eaten.
Instead, he moved to an extra dimension through his mouth, thus preventing Reverse-Flash from tracking him—he didn't expose Reverse-Flash mainly because he was afraid Reverse-Flash would escape.
It's most reassuring to have the enemy right under your nose. Ian hasn't forgotten his grudge against Reverse-Flash. The main reason he doesn't expose Reverse-Flash is that he wants to capture him to build a power plant.
Thor can generate electricity.
Reverse lightning, of course, can also do that.
"What are you doing?!"
The Flash stared in astonishment at his empty hands.
"I'm suddenly hungry again. I want to eat something and play on my phone." Ian smacked his lips and rubbed his stomach as he said this, which didn't make the Flash feel anything was wrong.
He actually thought Ian's behavior was quite normal.
This may be the reason for the boy's growing reputation.
"Luckily, I already have a general idea of what to do." So, in the following days, Barry, who had no doubts and just felt that Ian's insatiable appetite would be impossible to support without a side job, started getting busy. With each adjustment, he became more and more involved, and the expression on his face gradually became excited.
"I believe we will succeed this time!"
Barry Allen said excitedly as he tightened the screws.
Ian sat on the sofa, watching the countdown in his mind—[New Data Analysis of Additional Dimensions 99.9%]—while enjoying the Flash's busy performance.
"Uncle Barry is so full of energy..."
He sighed.
"Life is about challenges, and maybe I can do what even Bruce couldn't." The Flash harbors a secret ambition to be the undisputed star of the Justice League. Finally, after countless tweaks, tests, and more tweaks, the Flash excitedly announced that he had successfully created a new version of the Dream Detector.
"It's done! I'm done!"
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face beaming with a sense of accomplishment.
"Now, as long as we activate this machine, we can use Superman's senses to peer into Bruce's dreams!" The Flash took a deep breath and solemnly pressed the activation button.
"Om-"
The machine emitted a deep rumble, the screen lit up, and then...
"【Unauthorized Intrusion Detection】"
"[Explosion countdown: 10:00]"
The Flash: "???"
Before he could react...
0.01 seconds later.
"BOOM!!!!"
The entire laboratory was engulfed in a blinding white light. Fortunately, Ian reacted quickly, seizing the opportunity to rush forward and swallow the energy generated by the explosion, thus stopping the damage in time.

The smoke cleared.
Ian waited with practiced ease for his ruptured esophagus to repair itself before emptying his diaphragm, which was filled with billowing black smoke and radiation. Today, he was finally getting to eat something truly good.

……
Even after he had repaired himself, he could still continue to reap the benefits. Ian calmly extinguished the last flame with one hand, holding the fire extinguisher.
The Flash stood there, stunned.
He was not injured.
However, it was a major setback.
"As expected, Uncle Barry, you still don't understand Batman enough. Before he asked you to help him build the machine, you should have realized that even sending Batman's stuff to be recycled is considered an indiscriminate terrorist attack."
Ian sighed.
The words are serious and the heart is deep.
"..."
Barry slowly lowered his head.
Looking at the charred remains of the machine on the ground.
He looked up at Ian again.
