However, the catalyst for this destruction is not Wally, but instead the final form of Eobard Thawne.
The Arc Angels intend to kill time once and for all, preventing any form of chaos as everything slows to static.

As dangerous and powerful as Kryptonians are, there has never been one that threatened to destroy the very fabric of time.
It is true that Kryptonians have incredible destructive potential. They are capable of destroying entire continents and moving planets out of orbit with little effort. Their power is so great that Superboy-Prime once punched reality itself and caused a ripple effect that changed tons of things. But despite how impressive and terrifying the power is, it all pales in comparison to the power of a speedster, especially Eobard Thawne. Eobard has demonstrated the ability to travel back in time and manipulate events with perfect precision, and now he takes His powers to the ultimate extreme when he targets time itself.
Eobard Thawne is a living paradox. Their existence is fading time. If someone wanted to, they could go back in time and kill Eobard as a baby, and it would have no effect on him; His adult self would continue to exist with ease. This makes him an enemy to time itself, his mere presence is destructive, and this is ultimately weaponized as Eobard is transformed into a living bullet to destroy time. As dangerous and powerful as Kryptonians are, there has never been one that threatened to destroy the very fabric of time.
The Flash family is dealing with higher dimensional beings who have just used Reverse Flash as a living bullet to kill time.

Reality-ending threats
It’s hard to distinguish how dangerous both kryptonites and speedsters are on a grand scale, but there are differences. While Superman and the rest of the Justice League often deal with immediate worldly threats, it is The Flash family who often have to deal with things on a more cosmic level. The Justice League and everyone else are now doing their best to fight Amanda Waller and her forces as they take over the planet. Meanwhile, the Flash Family are dealing with higher dimensional beings who have just used Reverse flash Like a live bullet to kill time.
