Chapter 141 The Return of the Bat
When Bruce's consciousness returned to his body, he found himself in the endless dark deep sea.
He was wearing armor and felt no discomfort. He had his hands on his countryman's neck, and the other party had briefly given up thinking.
Bruce continued to float up and finally returned to the surface of the sea.
Dragging the bodies of fellow countrymen, we walked to the shore step by step.
"vomit--"
As soon as he came into contact with air, Homelander immediately exhaled all the seawater accumulated in his lungs and regained consciousness.
This guy is really tenacious.
Bruce took off his helmet and looked at Homelander who was vomiting.
Strictly speaking, this is no longer the original native of our country, but that little A-Zu.
Just because of the transformation of N metal, Homelander also returned to his appearance when he was ten years old.
There is no sense of disobedience.
Little A-Zu shook his head, like a puppy shaking water off its body.
Then he saw Bruce's face.
"Brother Batman!"
He showed surprise, "We actually meet again so soon!"
"I told you I'd see you later. Why don't you believe me?"
Bruce said calmly, "I always keep my promises and never lie to anyone."
Little Zu nodded, thinking that Batman was indeed a true hero.
I have every reason to learn from him.
Bruce took a few glances at the armor on his body. It was the masterpiece of the Batman, and he was not very familiar with it.
I just feel that after putting on this set of armor, I have endless power.
Good, it's his now.
"Don't stand there like an idiot." Bruce said, "Let's go back to the city. There are some things that need us to take care of."
……
The crisis caused by the Homelander's rampage is over.
The city suffered great damage, and Water Company said it would do its best to help the city rebuild.
To the outside world, people’s perception is that their motherland is dead.
Bruce summoned the power of the devil to stop his rampage.
After the battle, Bruce was also backfired by the power and dragged into another world.
This publicity story made Bruce a saint in people's hearts, and countless people took to the streets to commemorate this hero.
"Bruce is not dead!" someone firmly believed, "He will definitely come back!"
For more people, there is unspeakable pain in their hearts.
A man who was born with misfortune but had an unshakable heroic dream, and who stood up to save people in their most critical moments.
Such stories will surely be passed down forever.
At this time, a branch of Water Company.
Since the headquarters building was on the verge of collapse during the battle between Batman and Homelander, the center of Vought Corporation can only be moved here.
The command hall of the seven-member group was naturally moved here.
The first post-war conference was underway.
Bruce sat at the top seat, with little A-Zu sitting on his left.
"The Seven will definitely still need to exist." Bruce said to the people below, "But the world of superheroes will usher in a brand new change."
The era when superheroes were unscrupulous and did whatever they wanted is gone forever.
"While I'm away, he will represent my will!"
Bruce patted little Zu's shoulder.
The other party was absent-minded, playing with his countryman's mobile phone, searching for comments about himself when he grew up.
Nowadays, the online comments about our countrymen are extremely negative.
Those who curse the motherland the most are not the people who have suffered harm, but the motherland’s former die-hard fans.
Little A-Zu still felt a little sad, because he turned out to be such a jerk when he grew up.
Then he was patted hard by Bruce, and he immediately straightened his chest and raised his head, showing that he had been listening carefully.
"You can't appear in public anymore." Bruce said to Zu, "Just supervise inside Vought Company."
"no problem!"
Little A-Zu saluted Bruce, "I promise to complete the mission!"
To this day, he still considers himself to be Robin.
Even if I become a superhero in the future, I will never give up this title.
This time, the Homelander is probably really dead.
Little A-Zu has already made up his mind. He will make a bat mask and wear it to supervise those illegal superheroes. He will be the spokesperson for Batman!
This meeting was actually Bruce's farewell ceremony.
He told others that he was going to go somewhere else and would not be seen again in the short term.
But will definitely be back.
Katum told him that there were still some places in the world worth exploring, and that he couldn't just throw away the little brother he had received with great difficulty.
Then when we counterattack DC, at least we can be cannon fodder.
The meeting ended and everyone had their own thoughts.
Little Azu was originally a blank slate, but now he has gained the trust of Batman and has been given an important mission, so he is full of motivation.
Anyone who dares to break the law will be targeted by him with Cyclops.
Little A-Zu felt happy when he thought about his glorious future.
But the one who was happier than him was the deep sea.
"Bruce used my powers to defeat Homelander."
Shenhai thought, "So to round it off, that means I beat Homelander!"
As expected of him!
The locomotive's idea is very simple, and he performs extremely well in the process of saving the city.
With such career achievements, he will definitely be included in the selection of superhero all-stars in the future.
He can even claim to be the cornerstone of the superhero spirit!
Bruce left the command hall and returned to his lounge.
Katum was still wearing the gangster mask, sitting in front of the computer, typing away on the keyboard with his wings.
"What are you checking?"
Bruce asked curiously.
"What a good thing!"
Katum motioned for him to come over and take a look. Bruce leaned his head closer to the computer and saw the screen full of chemical formulas.
"This is?"
"The complete synthetic formula of compound number five!"
Katum said, then reacted and explained to Bruce-
"I forgot to tell you, the superheroes in this world are actually all man-made, relying on this compound number five!" This explosive news did not cause any reaction from Bruce at all.
He just said "oh" and accepted the fact.
He was not surprised at all that what was more terrifying than superhumans was the human heart.
Katum didn't know how he got the highest authority in Water Company and found out such secrets.
The Imperius Curse, maybe?
Bruce wondered which company executive had been killed by Katum.
To have such authority, one must at least be a president or a director.
"Artificial superheroes?" Bruce collected his thoughts and said, "According to you, if we have this synthesis formula, can we also create superhumans ourselves?"
"In principle, yes, but we don't have the time."
Katum said, “Superhumans are cultivated from childhood, and some even receive Compound No. 5 in the womb. We don’t have time to wait for superhuman children to grow up.
“If an adult wants to use it, they have to use temporary compound No. 5, which can temporarily give them super powers.
"But this thing has a drawback. If you use it five times, you will die."
Although Katum said this, it was obvious that he was very satisfied with the harvest.
Bruce guessed this guy's intention. He might want to use alchemy to transform this compound.
I don’t know what kind of thing will be created in the end.
I just hope the Harry Potter world isn't ruined.
If that really comes to the point, Bruce will have no choice but to step forward and destroy the evil Owl King.
Owl was copying the synthesis formula of Compound No. 5 when the door to the lounge opened.
Bruce looked up and saw that it was Queen Maeve who came in.
"Queen Maeve, what's the matter?" Bruce asked confusedly.
He felt that Queen Maeve looked at him strangely, and subconsciously wanted to keep his distance.
"I really didn't misjudge you."
Queen Maeve came up to Bruce and chuckled, "You called me sister when you asked me for strength. Now that everything is over, just call me Queen Maeve?"
"Um……"
Bruce didn't know what to say for a moment.
Is it my own illusion?
I always feel that Queen Maeve is a little weird.
Maeve looked at Bruce deeply, then sighed: "Are you really going to travel around the world? Why did I feel like you were making arrangements for your funeral in the meeting just now?"
"Don't say such unlucky words." Bruce said, "I will definitely come back."
At least come back to see if little A-Zu has gone astray.
"I'll take it as the truth."
Maeve didn't dwell on it, and asked, "How many years do you want to travel? Will you be an adult when you come back?"
I don’t know about Bruce. You can never predict what will happen in the future.
"Okay, I won't ask you too much. Little boys with secrets are more fun."
Maeve blinked, "What I promised you before will still be valid after you come back!"
What promised?
Bruce wanted to ask more questions, but Maeve had already left with a chuckle.
He could only turn and look at Katum.
Owl immediately shook his head: "I don't know anything, don't ask me."
"You must know..."
Just as Bruce finished speaking, a man appeared at the door of the lounge.
"Can I come in?" Xingguang pointed at the door and said, "I see your door is not closed."
The weird feeling in Bruce's heart became stronger.
He observed Katum's expression again and found that the guy seemed to be holding back a laugh.
Bruce was furious.
He knows it!
It must be you, you damn owl!
……
After staying in Bruce's lounge for a while, Starlight also left.
She said much the same thing as Maeve, but made different decisions in the end.
"Is it really safe for you to run around the world alone?"
Starlight asked tentatively, "Would you like to find a travel companion, one that won't hold you back?"
Bruce pretended to hesitate for a moment, then decisively refused.
"I'm just walking around, there won't be any accidents." He said, "Besides, there isn't much danger in this world right now. Even if I encounter one, I can run away."
Starlight didn't understand why Bruce's words were so strange. Why did he emphasize this world?
But Bruce's decisive refusal made Starlight feel very disappointed.
"Okay then," she said, "I'll try to be a good hero and scare you when you come back."
Starlight walked out of Bruce's lounge dejectedly.
The next second, Bruce immediately grabbed Katum's neck.
"Tell me!" he demanded fiercely, "What happened?"
Katum stuck out his tongue and looked like he was about to die.
"It was Zu Bat!" He confessed the real murderer without hesitation, "He was the one who set the trap for you!"
"I knew it!"
Bruce let go of his hand, his face full of indignation.
"This guy is obviously my second personality, but he is so insidious. He deserves to be suppressed in the Palace of Thought."
"Let's not say a few words about him for now. He was very hard at fighting the Homelanders before."
Katum twisted his neck and said, "He was dragging his countryman into the deep sea, and I was watching."
"Just stood there?" Bruce asked. "Didn't you help him?"
"What's there to help? He's not dead."
Katum tapped the keyboard one last time, and the synthesis formula of compound No. 5 was copied.
"It's done, we can prepare to leave."
The harvest from the Black Robe World this time was pretty good. The Hell Batman Armor and the synthesis formula of Compound No. 5 are both worth further research.
There is also a dagger that can resist the Avada Kedavra curse.
It’s not a wasted trip at all.
At this time, Bruce suddenly expressed his objection.
"Wait a moment!"
Katum was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Let's go buy some presents," Bruce deadpanned, "I don't want to be embarrassed like last year."
