Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 – The Speedster of a Thousand Faces: Godspeed

Central City – Present.

August Heart, Godspeed, looked to the skies. Blue lightning tore through the clouds like divine omens.

— He's back — he muttered.

In his secret base, Godspeed's primary clone activated panels, analyzing the signals.

— A new god is running. One who takes what's ours.

Godspeed called Barry.

— We need to talk.

At STAR Labs, the atmosphere was tense.

— You want to help me? — Barry asked, skeptical.

— I want to keep my power. And this so-called Savitar will take everything if he's not stopped.

Barry hesitated. Cisco stepped in:

— Maybe it's time for an unlikely alliance.

Godspeed smiled.

— I've run with Barry. Now… I want to run against what's coming.

Meanwhile, Lucas watched from afar.

— They're trying to unite — he whispered. — How naive.

Godspeed ran, leaving a white trail slicing through the streets. He found Lucas in an old railway tunnel.

— You're the one they call Savitar?

— And you're the copy of a thousand versions of yourself. So much arrogance.

Godspeed charged.

— I want your power.

Lucas laughed.

— You'll have death.

The clash was chaotic. Two of the fastest beings alive, battling in loops, shattering the laws of physics.

But Godspeed was unstable.

Lucas overloaded him with pure blue energy, exploding his multiple clone-bodies. The real one fell, gasping, wounded.

— You could've been useful — Lucas said. — But you chose to resist.

He didn't kill him. He left him alive.

— You will serve as a warning. A ghost without power.

And he vanished.
