Chapter 140 Bruce's Oath
The N metal left her hand, and Martha lost the power to resist magic.
Just then, Bruce chanted a spell.
"All petrified!"
The full-body binding spell hit Martha, and her arms and legs immediately stuck together, her whole body became stiff, and she fell to the ground like a board.
Bruce suddenly thought to himself, "I can't go back after casting this kind of spell on my mother."
He is no longer a filial son.
But this is not the point now. The point is to solve the personality of the people of our motherland.
As for how to solve it, it is impossible for a little A-Zu to do it alone.
Looking at the battlefield on the other side, little A-Zu had been pinned to the ground by his fellow countrymen and was being beaten so hard that he was crying for his parents.
But Bruce was already very satisfied with his performance, after all, he attracted a lot of firepower.
Isn't that what Robin used?
Bruce squatted down and, under Martha's disapproving gaze, found a diary from her.
I opened the diary and a line of words appeared.
That was the second magic left by Ravenclaw.
"Soul Drain!" Bruce shouted the spell.
The question of whether personality is considered a complete soul is somewhat controversial.
But what is certain is that it is at least a part of the soul.
There was a huge suction force coming from the diary, and the fellow countryman who was beating little A-Zu happily suddenly felt something was wrong.
He suddenly flew into the air, trying to escape from the area.
But it was too late, Bruce's spell had been cast, and Homelander's personality had nowhere to escape.
Here is his realm of thought, where can he escape to?
The Homelander kept flying forward, but his body was moving further and further backward. The diary was like a black hole, constantly pulling at his soul.
Finally, with a roar, Homelander was sucked into the diary.
The whole world returned to peace.
Little A-Zu grinned and got up from the ground.
"Did we win?"
He said, "Did we defeat the bad guys?"
"Yes, defeated."
Bruce looked at little Zu, "From today on, you are a new native of the motherland."
He tore off a page from the diary and handed it to little A-Zu.
"Here, this is my gift to you."
"Great!" Little A-Zu accepted the small piece of paper happily. "This is the first time someone has given me a gift! We are friends now, right?"
"Friends, no no no, we are family!"
Bruce smiled, "From today on, you are my brother, and we are a family."
Little A'Zu stood there in a daze. Bruce's words were completely beyond his expectations.
family……
For him, this was a word he dared not even think about.
"Thank you Bruce!"
He said in a crying voice, "No, thank you, Brother Bruce!"
"Okay, don't cry." Bruce hugged little Zu and said, "Don't throw away the page I gave you, okay?"
Little A-Zu nodded vigorously, indicating that he would definitely not lose it!
Bruce sighed in his heart, wondering if he was going too far.
The piece of paper he gave to little A-Zu was actually not that simple.
After the clown's personality of Homelander disappears, little A-Zu becomes the main personality, which means that after returning to reality, the original Homelander will have a drastic change in temperament.
Become his little brother.
but--
Bruce still said the same thing, an invincible super-powered person is ultimately difficult to control.
He believed that little A-Zu had a kind heart, but who could guarantee that he would not become a bad person in the future?
After all, the reckless native of our country also evolved from this little A-Zu.
In that case, it’s better to keep some backup plans.
"Robin, Robin, I hope you won't let me down."
Bruce thought, "Although I gave you a piece of paper, I haven't activated the third magic yet. If you behave yourself, it will always be just a piece of paper."
After all, he still didn't quite believe that Homelander could completely become a good person.
Only by leaving some restrictions can Bruce feel truly at ease.
Homelander didn't know what Bruce was thinking. He looked at the blank page and was very happy.
"I can fold it into a paper crane!"
He said, "When I see this paper crane next time, I will think of you."
"That's good!"
Bruce smiled and patted little Zu's shoulder, "Then let's meet in reality!"
……
Bruce carried the stiff Martha on his back and held the little owl turned into metal in his other hand and returned to his own palace of thought.
The throne of the temple remained vacant, and Zul'N'a had not returned.
Bruce tossed the little owl aside and gently put Martha down.
"I'm sorry, Mom."
Bruce used a universal breaking spell to free Martha from her restraints.
This is his temple of thought, and he controls everything.
Martha's movements returned to normal. She slowly stood up and looked at Bruce with complicated eyes.
"Bruce, I've never really hurt you," she said in disbelief, "and yet you use this kind of magic on me?"
"The owl taught me that. It has nothing to do with me!"
Bruce sat down next to Martha, snuggled in his mother's arms, trying to awaken the dormant maternal love.
"I have been battling wits and courage with that owl. Even if you catch me back, he will definitely chase you and hurt you."
"I'll listen to your nonsense."
Martha sat on the ground, feeling lost.
After only being petrified for a short while, Bruce was able to eliminate the Joker personality she had created with great difficulty.
Has my son grown up to this point?
"What have you learned in the two and a half years since you left Gotham?"
Martha was no longer as aggressive as before. This was no longer her home ground. Even if she wanted to do something, she couldn't.
"Didn't I show you everything?" Bruce said seriously, "I didn't hide anything."
"At least you didn't tell me that you learned to lie."
Martha lowered her head, trying to accept the current situation.
All her efforts were in vain.
The only chance to save Bruce no longer exists.
"Mom, do you still think you were right?"
Bruce suddenly said, "But it's not like that. Whether it's me, you or Dad, we are all bound by a predetermined fate.
"In the past few years, I have become increasingly aware that your death may not have been an accident.
"The reason I want to leave Gotham is so that I can come back one day and avenge you!"
Not an accident?
This sentence suddenly woke Martha up.
In the years since she lost Bruce, she's been acting crazy, kidnapping children and forcing their parents to make decisions.
I thought that by doing this, I could ease the pain in my heart.
But Thomas was completely different. He was obviously crazier than himself, but he made a completely opposite decision from himself.
He began to fight crime without stopping.
Could it be that……
What did he find?
Martha didn't notice that her originally crazy brain began to become organized.
She had been crazy about Bruce, but now that she was actually in contact with her lively son, that madness began to dissipate.
Martha stroked Bruce's hair in her arms without saying a word.
"As for Barbatos, you don't have to worry, mom."
Bruce thought about it and decided to convince her with a reason that the Joker could accept.
"Even if the five metals gather together and open the door to the dark universe, so what? I can escape with Owl at any time and go to another universe. Barbatos's efforts will naturally be in vain."
Bruce would not actually do such a thing. Escaping to another universe would be equivalent to watching the Hogwarts universe being dragged into darkness.
But this is all I can say to comfort Martha.
After all, what the mother cares most about is her son's safety.
Martha was obviously persuaded, but she was still reluctant.
"We finally have a chance to reunite..."
She said, "Can't you let someone else be Batman? For example, your alter ego, I think he also wants to be the real Batman."
"This is my mission!" Bruce answered firmly, "Mom, just trust me this time!"
This was obviously not the answer Martha wanted to hear.
She still wasn't convinced.
If we let Martha leave and her madness relapses, all our previous efforts will be wasted.
Dealing with a native is nothing, convincing Martha is the key!
Bruce noticed this, and after a little thought, he finally figured out what Martha wanted.
"Mom, I swear to you!"
Bruce suddenly raised three fingers and said, "When you return, I will definitely visit your world, not only to reunite with you, but also to let you know that I didn't let you down!"
These words really touched Martha's heart.
She asked as if to confirm: "Are you really coming?"
“I will definitely come!”
Bruce said, "Mom, I will exchange my true heart with you. Family members should not lie to each other!"
Finally, Martha was persuaded by Bruce.
"You must be careful of Barbatos. Pay attention in the next world. As long as the last metal is delivered, Barbatos' plan will be a success."
She warned, "He has a way of getting these five metals into your body."
"Don't worry about that, I've already figured out what to do!"
In fact, it was Katum's idea. Only an owl could come up with such a vicious trick.
Bruce is not afraid of the five metals gathering together. When that happens, he will let Barbatos see what the bat's strategy is!
"Bruce, you have really grown up."
Martha stroked Bruce's face and looked at him deeply, trying to engrave his appearance into her mind.
Thirteen-year-old Bruce had only appeared in her dreams before.
"correct."
Martha suddenly said, “I don’t care about other things, but before you come of age, you better pay attention to me!
"I don't want you to come to see me with a baby in your arms!"
……
Martha left.
She originally entered Homelander's mind through the diary, and now that the diary is in Bruce's hands, he can only send it out.
Bruce stood in the huge temple, looking at the six unconscious phantoms.
He wondered whether he should wait until one day to give these illusions some limited thinking ability.
Allow them to act independently without betraying themselves?
This idea can only be tried later.
Katum II has regained his freedom and is flying around in the sky.
"It feels so good to be alive!" he shouted. "I almost thought I was going to die!"
Bruce shook his head and ignored the little owl's chatter.
Isn't it the second personality? It looks like the same character as Katum's main personality.
He closed his eyes and disappeared from the temple in an instant, and then Zul'Ah was replaced.
Zuba still maintained the posture of strangling Homelander's neck, wanting to sink into the deep sea with him.
I suddenly returned to the palace of thinking and still felt a little uncomfortable.
"I'm back?"
He shook his head, trying to adjust to the ground.
Zu Bat subconsciously walked towards the throne of the temple, wanting to sit back in the seat that originally belonged to him.
At this moment, Katum II suddenly kicked him aside.
"Zu Bat, you don't understand at all!"
Katum II flapped his wings and flew to the throne.
"Don't covet the throne that doesn't belong to you!
"From now on, this Palace of Thought belongs to me, King Katum!"
