Chapter 74 - DÄMON!

"Where the fuck am I?" Barry questions as he looks around, standing between broken buildings.

The air smells like gunpowder, and a sense of dread is lingering around.

'I got distracted,' Barry thinks as he recalls running through the space-time vortex. Since it was his very first time experiencing it, the overwhelming feeling of power that just washed over him made him lose his focus.

So now he has ended up somewhere he has no idea about. But Barry isn't too worried about it. He can always find his way back. He just needs to tap into his origin and run back.

His powers give him limitless potential and options. Barry can leave everything behind and become a dimensional traveler if he wishes to.

"But let's first figure out where I am," Barry murmurs when he notices four people walk out of an alley holding guns, and as soon as they see Barry, they aim their guns at Barry, shout, and then started shooting without even bothering to question him.

Barry is surprised by the sudden aggression. The world around him slows down as he sees the bullets slowly making their way towards him. He can literally see the bullets breaking the sound barrier as they approach him.

But Barry isn't concerned. He instead focuses on the four men who just shot at him. They look like common soldiers as they are wearing field-grey color uniforms, one of them is wearing a steel helmet, while the other three are wearing field caps.

'You gotta be kidding me...' Barry thinks as he realizes who these soldiers really are.

The bullets finally reach Barry, so he begins grabbing them out of the air one by one. Since they are using submachine guns, Barry had to deal with a lot of bullets, but with his speed, it's child's play.

The German soldiers continued shooting at the man in the weird red suit, but the more they shot at him, the more horrified they became as they realized that none of their bullets were touching the man.

The soldiers ran out of ammo as they unloaded everyone at the man in the weird red suit. And now their guns are hot and smoking.

Barry has one of his hands straight before him as the soldiers watch him, dumbfounded. He then opens his palm, and the bullets that he snatched off midair start hitting the floor like pearls of a ripped necklace.

This scares the shit out of the german soldiers. They immediately try to reload their guns while keeping their eyes on the man in the weird red suit, who they think is the devil, when he suddenly disappears right before their eyes.

The soldier in the steel helmet suddenly sees three of his comrades immediately hit the floor, and the man in the weird red suit standing right before him.

His eyes widen with horror as his iris contracts. "DÄMON!" he shouts in fear while trying to retreat.

"Ya, not exactly. And sorry, but this is going to hurt a little," Barry says, grabbing the gun, pointing its muzzle to the side with his superior strength, and then punching the soldier as lightly as possible to knock him out.

Barry looks at the four unconscious German soldiers and wonders what he should do with them. Should he have directly killed them, as these soldiers could be as cruel as they were described in history books, but who can trust history books? These soldiers could be perfectly innocent men who were forced into this war, like most people.

But of course, they did open fire on him without bothering to question him, but he can also give them the benefit of the doubt, as he is wearing a red full-body suit that would make him look like the devil to these people.

"Let's tie them up for now and come back later," Barry thinks, and gets it done in a flash.

Suddenly, he hears more shots being fired and people screaming from afar.

"Well, since I am already involved, there is no point going back now," Barry thinks and runs towards the chaos. He is going to save as many lives as he possibly can.

Barry's surroundings instantly change as he moves from one place to another in an instant and finds himself in the middle of a fight.

Bullets are flying everywhere, men are shouting, while local civilians are trying to run back to the shelter of their homes.

In the midst of all this chaos, Barry's eyes fell on a woman who was the center of attention right now.

Long wavy black hair, beautiful blue eyes, a tall, lean, muscular physique, she has a tiara made of special metal around her forehead, long bracelets made out of the same metal around her forearms, a strong red bustier consisting of the same metal acting as breastplate armor around her breasts, and a loose blue leather skirt with the same unique metal that goes around her waist and on the sides to provide her a mix of mobility and defense.

She also has armored knee pads and metal reinforced boots to protect the rest of her legs.

With an armor in one hand and the sword in the other, she is plowing through the horde of men that are rushing towards her.

Barry immediately recognizes this woman, seeing her in her iconic outfit.

"Why do I feel like I always end up before a new character whenever I try to let loose?" Barry says with a sigh. Seeing Wonder Woman in action, Barry now knows where he is.

The current timeline is of World War two, and Barry has run himself right in the middle of a historic combat zone.
