I searched it up on google and got this:
F , U , F2 , D , B , U , R , F , L , D , R , U , L , U , B , D2 , R , F , U2 , D2
But I was wondering is it actually the hardest? Would it be harder if you repeated it on a cube?

There is no "hardest" scramble. There are hardER scrambles, and even then, it's circumstantial. Depending on the method used, a scramble could be easy for one person, and difficult for another.

I got 26.34, slightly faster than average. And I'm not warmed up. The worst scramble for Fridrich would be an obvious but long cross that leads into an obvious but long F2L that leads into the worst OLL/PLL combo.

Used your scramble, got 17.11, which is faster than average for me.

(I think you forgot the prime symbols)

Yeah, I think the prime symbols got left out...

Erm, from what you posted, try green cross. Lolpairs.

ZZ has some pretty bad ones if you have fixed orientations. 12 wrong edges is nasty.

Not really, I just intuitively do F B D R L' F2 U2 B every time (you do the last of the 4-4-4 on B so that you can have a clear look ahead for Line) and then do a Line which should be like a few fast flicks. Doing a set alg for the 12 bad case EO followed by an alg for Line that you prepared during the EO is way faster and more reliable than trying to figure out optimal EOLine for the 12 case.
Oh and using the OP's scramble, I got OCLL skip in ZZ lawl.

So you do a 8 moves EO plus the moves to do the line? Thats not a good solution at all..
