"The first Flash, in universe number 645. The Justice League there gathered the combined power of Earth to defeat a wave of Darkseid clones and claim the mantle of Death. He became the God of Death. According to the calculations of the God Batman in that universe, there is a 25.324% probability that he is Barmulodi in disguise."

"The main point of suspicion is how quickly he gained control over the power of Death in that universe. Even if he became the Death Flash using super-speed mode, the rate of power acquisition and amplification was too extreme. He continues to study the power of Death relentlessly. This kind of ambition is consistent with Barmulodi's desire for absolute control."

"The second Flash, Wally West, reached the fastest speed ever recorded while escaping an atomic detonation in Chongjin City and simultaneously relocating over 500,000 civilians. Since then, he has remained trapped within the Speed Force, constantly evolving his mastery of it. He has developed numerous Speed Force techniques: speed transmission and absorption, casting, rapid healing, flight, shielding, duplication, spiritual energy transmutation, structural creation, molecular invisibility, and even birthed the Inverse Speed Force. Nearly every known and unknown Speed Force ability has manifested in him."

"He's abnormally exceptional, almost broken. I asked Barry Allen to test him. He raced against a universe-level god with teleportation, and Wally's speed surpassed even that instantaneous travel. He remains fervently engaged in understanding the true nature of the Speed Force."

"According to my analysis, there is a 34.452435% chance he is Barmulodi."

"The third Flash originally had a speed of only Mach 8. But after confronting his own evil time remnant and witnessing the death of his wife at its hands, he exploded with extraordinary speed, ultimately reaching over ten times the speed of light."

"In this case, my evaluation assigns him an 80% probability of being the consciousness of Barmulodi."

Quantum Batman spoke with no emotion on his face.

The Phantom Stranger frowned. He remembered this Mach 8 Flash because it had been the slowest Flash he'd ever encountered.

"Over ten times the speed of light... and that's enough to determine an 80% chance he's Barmulodi?"

"Isn't that level of speed rather average for a Flash?" the Phantom Stranger asked, puzzled. He had journeyed across countless universes and seen numerous Flashes exceed such speeds. Tens of times the speed of light was nothing unusual. He had encountered no fewer than hundreds of thousands who had achieved that.

Golden Superman, the Spectre, and Mandrakk also looked toward Quantum Batman with doubt.

"It's not about the speed itself. Over ten times the speed of light is the upper limit of that universe," Quantum Batman explained. "In other words, he touched the essence of the Speed Force within that universe. He became that universe's God of Speed."

The Phantom Stranger's expression shifted. He hadn't fully examined that universe before. But for a being to break through so easily and attain such understanding of Speed Force fundamentals—becoming a speed god—it was incomprehensible. A bug in the system. It defied all logic.

"According to calculations from my quantum universe, Barmulodi likely possessed a time remnant of that Flash. He was trapped within the Speed Force, cultivated power from within, broke free from the Speed Force prison, killed that universe's Flash, and replaced him."

Quantum Batman continued, calm as ever.

"In that case, there's no need to keep searching. It's almost certain he is the consciousness of Barmulodi. We only need to initiate the next step, activate the contact group's teleportation function, and prepare an excuse to summon the Flashes. Then we can isolate the target, send him to the sealed zone, and seal his consciousness," Mandrakk stated, the red electronic eyes in his smooth armor flickering with cold logic.

This time, the Phantom Stranger, Spectre, and Golden Superman did not object. After exchanging glances, they nodded in agreement.

As long as they could pinpoint the location of Barmulodi's consciousness and lure him in under the right circumstances, it would be enough to trap and contain his will.

Just as consensus was reached, Quantum Batman spoke again, his blue figure unmoving, voice emotionless.

"I do not object to your ambush strategy, but my plan requires a contingency."

The Spectre nodded. "And what is your contingency?"

"I must account for the possibility of failure—that is, your inability to seal Barmulodi's consciousness."

"Based on my calculations, none of you have a full understanding of the power possessed by the true One God, Barmulodi. You continue to measure him by the standards of past One Gods."

"Barmulodi is a One God with infinite evolution. That trait makes him nearly impossible to counter. No matter how dire the situation, he will adapt, develop resistance, and evolve a way to counteract your efforts."

"To prevent failure and avoid provoking his wrath upon the multiverse, I propose…"

Quantum Batman's voice lowered slightly. His gaze locked onto the Phantom Stranger. In the silence, all eyes turned to him.

"Send his wife, Raven—the object created by Trigon—to Trigon himself."

"Let Barmulodi take the initiative to leave the multiverse."

"Let him go reclaim his wife."

"Let Barmulodi fight Trigon."

Quantum Batman stated plainly. As a quantum construct, he had no emotional bias. His only purpose was to calculate the optimal outcome.

To prevent Barmulodi's fury from annihilating the multiverse, the only viable course was to divert his attention.

"You may think Barmulodi is a cruel tyrant. But… according to data I retrieved from the Stranger, he cares deeply for his family. He treasures what he has. That is why he strives relentlessly for power—to protect everything."

Quantum Batman's eyes remained fixed on the Phantom Stranger, face devoid of expression.

Golden Superman and the Spectre exchanged glances.

If Barmulodi left the multiverse, he would be unable to return through the Speed Force Wall. That made this not only a viable plan—but potentially the masterstroke.

Using his wife to bait him and handing Raven to Trigon could only be described as an extremely vicious tactic. A tiger forced to fight a wolf.

Especially since Trigon and Barmulodi already had a long-standing grudge.

The Phantom Stranger raised an eyebrow. Among them, only he was truly familiar with the multiverse and Barmulodi's universe. Only he could break into Barmulodi's world and take Raven.

And he had no objections.

"I agree."
