According to the Spectre: “In the time of Superman’s absence, Keystone City has become a utopia—a protectorate relentlessly patrolled by a gale force once human. No one sees him... no one hears him. He runs a lonely race... but all who live here have felt his presence. He is everywhere at once... a guardian angel who rights even the most harmless of wrongs with lightning speed. He lives between the ticks of a second. He is the Flash.”
I'm not sure about Flash being everywhere in the universe or Earth at once. It was never stated that specifically. But even if he was, it wouldnt make any sense for the simple fact that not every hero of the Big 7 was M.I.A. like Superman.
Batman, Hawkman, Lantern, Wonder Woman, Aquaman were all still doing their hero duties in trying to keep the world safe. For Flash to come and step on everyones toes would make no use at all for the other heroes.
Keystone is under the protection of FLash just like Gothamn is protected by Batman and space by Lantern.

Narrative pun? Its the Spectre talking there. If he says Flash is everywhere at once, he is. You think hed say that just as an assumption?Flash was living speed force energy. He patrolled 24/7. He was moving faster than lght. Like is said before, hes the embodiment of speed in KC.
It's still a friggin pun. I thought that it was actually established. Was it?
"Embodiment of Speed." Explain.

Pretty much.

Flash was living speed force energy. He had no identity. He held all the spirits of the previous incarnations of the Flash. Literally everywhere at once. He lived lightspeed+.

If he was literally everywhere at once, wouldn't everything be covered by a red blur, rather than solitary red streaks?Perhaps we're taking the Spectre's words a bit too literally?
Not even a blur. No one was able to see nor hear him.
The streaks are used for us to see lol. Are you saying the Spectre was making that up?

Not that he's making it up. Just that he's slightly exaggerating. He could seem to be everywhere at once without actually being omnipresent.
The picture didn't even make it look like he was everywhere... He probably just patrols all parts of the city in a second or two. Which is some pretty disgusting speed, but far from being omnipresent. (like Flash Prime. 😆 ) Runner has a big power advantage, and I really don't know how big the speed difference would be. KC Flash is fast... But how fast? Even a path going through every nook and cranny of Keystone City wouldn't equal the length of an entire galaxy, which Runner has gone across in seconds. And something doesn't even have to be going lightspeed for it to be invisible to normal humans...
What would you need to see that would make you believe hes everywhere? He patrols the whole city 24/7. Plus Spectre said hes everywhere at once. Runner has gone across the galaxy in seconds, but Flash has run to the end of time and back in less than 2 minutes. Plus noone can seem to answer the fact that Flash would be able to steal Runners speed. Its been said that FLash would be overloaded, but no proof of that has been posted of Flash ever being overloaded with speed.

Everywhere means everywhere... To convince me, you'd have to show him in multiple places at exactly the same time. Even cosmic beings exaggerate. The picture clearly shows that he runs around the city in circuits. Meaning that he is not everywhere, just fast enough that he tours the entire city in a very very short amount of time. So that normal crime cannot happen, because Flash will be there before it can be finished. But the Runner is not some human. He's fast enough to at least rival Kingdom Come Flash, if he is not actually faster. And the blasting power difference is pretty huge.
Flash recently failed to drain Velocity... The power backing her was too much for Wally, so she kept running when he tried. Power Primordial is as close to an infinite amount of backing power as anyone is going to get. Runner stops for no one!
