Chapter 204 Bruce Visits the Orphanage for the Fourth Time
"Oh, I suddenly realized I forgot something."
Katum poked his head out of the Tunnel of Heavens and saw a long leg kicking towards him.
At the critical moment, Katum was about to be kicked out like a ball.
But the owl twisted its body and dodged the kick from the side.
"Killing!"
Katum yelled, "What are you doing? Weren't we fine just now?"
"I--"
When Diana heard the owl's call, the energy she had just built up suddenly disappeared.
She hesitated and refused to say what she wanted to do.
At this time, Bruce also came out of the tunnel of heavens.
"Aren't you leaving?" Diana asked.
"No, I just suddenly thought of something."
Bruce looked at Diana with a smile, "We are still short of a souvenir for this trip."
Whether it's a ring or an owl doll, it's a little lacking.
Bruce once watched a movie called "Titanic".
It was undoubtedly a love tragedy, but a sentence said by the heroine decades later left a deep impression on Bruce.
“He saved me, mind, body, soul, every way.
“I don’t even have a picture of him.”
When Bruce was in the Tunnel of the Heavens, he thought of this sentence, and then thought of Diana who was left alone, and suddenly he felt mixed emotions.
"Let's take a photo together."
Bruce smiled and said, "No matter what, we have to leave something behind after going through so many twists and turns on this journey."
When Diana first left the island, she was determined to kill Ares and stop the war.
At the end of the journey, although Ares was still alive, a war that should not have happened was indeed prevented by them.
Miss Wonder Woman never took a picture, she just watched as the owl fiddled with the camera it had pulled out of its feathers, adjusting their stance.
She and Bruce stood together, both wearing black cloaks, looking extremely harmonious.
"All right!"
After setting the timer, the owl flapped its wings and flew back to Bruce's shoulder, stretching out its wings and making a "yeah" sign.
As the flash goes off, the picture freezes at this second.
"I will remember everything you said!"
Bruce used a copying spell to copy the film and gave the original to Diana.
"I will definitely come back within five years!"
"I'll trust you for once."
Diana said, putting the film away, "If you hadn't come back, I wouldn't have kept this photo. It makes me upset looking at it."
"I will never lie to you!"
Bruce's eyes were full of sincerity.
This time, they are really leaving.
Katum had already flown to the side of the tunnel. He looked back and saw that Bruce had not moved at all.
He understood what she meant and didn't want to be a spoiler parent, so he flew straight into the tunnel.
After waiting for a while, Bruce entered the tunnel.
Batboy looked a little dizzy and looked like he didn't want to leave.
"Is it over?" Owl asked, "How come you are so fast? Do you want to see a doctor?"
"What are you thinking about!"
Bruce cursed, "I was just saying goodbye to her normally! Nothing happened!"
"I believe you are a ghost."
Katum sneered and walked away with Bruce.
Bruce was caught in his claws and looked a little absent-minded.
"How does it feel?" Katum suddenly asked.
"very nice."
Bruce answered subconsciously, then suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly explained, "No, I mean..."
"No need to explain, I'm just asking. I don't really like hearing gossip."
Owl suddenly changed the subject, "Are you really going to come back in five years?"
"Of course I'll come back!"
Bruce said in confusion, "I promised Diana, why don't you come back?"
"If that's the case, you have to think about one thing."
Katoom said, "Your five years may not be equal to Diana's five years."
"What do you mean?" Bruce frowned, "Isn't the speed of time flowing in different worlds different?"
"I thought you'd already figured it out."
Katoom asked, "How long did you take the Mother Box to Earth-11?"
"Less than half a day..."
As soon as Bruce finished speaking, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
It only took him half a day to reach Earth-11, but when he came back, several days had passed in the DCEU world!
"No way!"
Bruce couldn't believe it. Could it be that the flow of time in the DCEU world was exceptionally fast?
"So you have to be mentally prepared."
Katum said softly, "If five years have passed in your own time, fifty or even a hundred years may have passed for Diana!"
Although for the 5,000-year-old Wonder Woman, these hundred years may just be a blink of an eye.
But there is no doubt that Bruce broke the agreement.
"Can't we come back in time with the DCEU?" Bruce asked anxiously.
Batman, at such a young age, is not used to being a scumbag.
"All I can say is try your best."
Katum also had his own concerns.
It is not so easy to return to the DC world. This time they took advantage of the time difference and bypassed Barbatos's sight. It is hard to say whether they will have such a good opportunity next time.
And on the other hand, Diana waited anxiously for Bruce to grow up, but five years later he returned as a child.
Isn't this also a kind of disappointment?
"You can't have it both ways anyway."
Katum said, "I can only try to help you. After all, I am on your side."
Or Bruce, as a child, can't do anything.
Or he could go back as a scumbag who broke his promise and wait for the crematorium of chasing his wife.
No matter what the choice is, Katum said he is looking forward to it.
They continued to travel through the tunnels of the heavens, passing by countless worlds around them, but they were all still within the scope of the DC multiverse.
"correct."
Katum suddenly asked, "Was it you who took the initiative just now or was it her?"
"Didn't you say you don't gossip?" Bruce asked back.
"Haha."
The owl laughed dryly twice, "I was just kidding you! I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore!"
……
The journey through the heavens continued. Bruce had seen the bizarre scenes in the tunnel many times.
"Finally we can solve the Paradox Bat."
Bruce thought that after the experience of fighting the Merciless Iron Fist, and with Diana's protective power, the Paradox Bat was no longer immortal.
The frozen world of Harry Potter can now resume operation.
"Hermione, wait for me!" he whispered.
"Is this Hermione?"
Katum asked, "Diana is a thing of the past so soon?"
You boy!
"Hermione and I don't have that kind of relationship!"
Bruce frowned and said, "You dead owl, what are you thinking about? I only have Diana in my heart now, and there is no room for other women!"
"You better remember this!" Katum said, his voice suddenly becoming very low, "But, to your disappointment, we probably can't go to the Harry Potter world now."
"Why?" Bruce was surprised. "Are you lost?"
"no!"
Katum said unhappily, "Because someone is following us!"
No one knew more about time travel than Katum, and he could quickly detect if there was anything new in the Tunnel of the Heavens.
Bruce doesn't have this ability, so Katoom can only show him.
"Let's stop for a moment."
The owl stopped moving forward and stayed where it was, using the Disillusionment Charm to eliminate both him and Bruce, then hid aside and observed.
Bruce held his breath and made no sound.
They didn't have to wait long. Just a moment later, a huge ship suddenly appeared in the tunnel.
It was a dilapidated three-masted sailing ship.
The hull was huge and old, covered with thick seaweed and shells, and the wooden deck was rotten, with a few twisted skeletons occasionally exposed.
The canvas fluttered in the night wind like a ghost, making a low whimpering sound.
The statue on the bow is a hideous Cyclops with deep-set eyes and a raised mouth, as if mocking every creature that approaches.
This ghost ship is like an orphan of time, belonging neither to the past nor to the future, just wandering eternally in the tunnel of the heavens.
"Najjirfa."
Katum said telepathically, "In Norse mythology, it is a large underworld ship from the land of the dead."
In mythology, the entire ship of Najirfa was built entirely from the fingernails of the dead.
It is prophesied that during the Ragnarok period, it will transport hordes of giants, monsters, and armies of the dead to the living world to start the final battle.
"Why is this ship here?"
Bruce was puzzled, "How can a ship from the Nordic God Realm pass through the barrier of the world and reach the Tunnel of the Heavens?"
“Because someone is guiding me.”
Katum whispered, "Keep reading!"
The ship of the underworld was sailing in the tunnel, and when it just passed by Bruce, it suddenly stopped.
It’s like I lost my goal for a moment and didn’t know where to go.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared at the bow, or it should be said to be a figure, but a person and an owl.
When Bruce saw the man's true face, his pupils suddenly contracted.
It was a face exactly like his, pale, with a cold expression, and obvious surgical lines on his face, making him look like an unreal person.
On his shoulder, an owl, also covered with surgical stitches, had its wings inserted in front of its chest, with its head held high, looking insolent.
“We can’t find their tracks.”
Zombie Bruce suddenly said, "Either they entered the world around here, or they hid."
"It doesn't matter."
The zombie owl sneered, "No one can hide from my eyes, we will always find them!"
"So what should we do now?" asked Zombie Bruce.
"That's it for now, let's eat first."
The zombie Katum said seriously, "I'm starving to death."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Zombie Bruce had no objection and entered the cabin with the owl.
After they left, Bruce asked Katum with a puzzled look on his face.
"They're tracking us, aren't they?"
Bruce said, "But where did this ship come from?"
"The ship was taken from the treasury of the King of Merciless Iron Fist, but it originally did not have the ability to travel through the heavens. It should be a mutation caused by the Wall of Origin."
Owl sighed, "In fact, when you just defeated Wuqing Iron Fist, I set my sights on his King's Treasury, but unfortunately I was too late and someone else robbed it first."
At this point, Katum was filled with indignation.
There was actually someone who acted faster than him!
Now it seems that it was the zombies who did it.
Now, Bruce probably understood why Katoom had said that they couldn't go directly to the Harry Potter world.
Zombie Bu, who possesses the King's Treasure, and Paradox Bat, who possesses the Trinity.
With these two guys joining forces, Bruce is in a very unfavorable situation.
They can’t go to Harry Potter World without getting rid of the zombie cloth and the zombie-headed owl.
"Which world are we going to now?"
Bruce said, "I can't fight in the Tunnel of the Heavens, but I'm not afraid of the King's Treasury. Let's find a place to deal with them quickly!"
After Thor's hammer was blessed by the Mother Box, each fragment could perfectly replicate the artifact in the King's Treasury.
The zombie cloth and zombie-headed eagle in front of him seemed insignificant to Bruce.
"We need to find a world with a higher intensity, at least one that can withstand a superhero-level battle."
Katum thought about it and felt that the answer was right in front of him.
"Just go to Marvel!"
He said, "The Marvel world is no weaker than DC. It has strong self-regulation capabilities and abundant resources. Isn't your Thor's hammer from there?"
Marvel World.
Bruce thought about it and felt that there was no problem.
It would be even better if we could see Logan and Hawkeye as well.
"Let's go then!"
After determining the target, the owl moved quickly. With a flap of its wings, it flew a great distance.
In the blink of an eye, the familiar Marvel world arrived.
"Since we just came out of the DCEU universe, why not go to the MCU this time."
Owl was a little depressed. "It's also a movie universe, but at least the MCU had its glory days."
The alliance that should be formed has been formed, and Thanos has been defeated.
Unlike the DCEU, where the first movie was about fighting Zod, and the last movie was about fighting Zod as well.
"I don't understand these things, you can arrange them however you want."
Bruce said, "Just don't throw me into an orphanage this time!"
"How many times have I told you! I didn't throw it!"
Katum was tired of explaining.
After entering the new world, Bruce arranged his own identity. The fact that he always appeared in the orphanage only showed that his orphan temperament was extraordinary and was recognized by the world.
"Okay, let's go in!"
The Owl clutches Bruce and dives straight into the MCU explanation.
……
There was a flash of light, and Bruce slowly returned to himself from the feeling of weightlessness.
The first thing he did was to see if he was at the door of the orphanage.
After a brief observation, the answer was revealed.
This time, he was indeed not at the door of the orphanage.
He came straight in.
At this time, Bruce was in a yard, surrounded by a group of children about his age, relaxing and playing.
"Um……"
Bruce pursed his lips, looked around, and felt something was wrong.
This may not be a normal orphanage.
After all, there is no normal orphan who can manipulate objects to fly at will with his fingertips.
This kind of extraordinary phenomenon is extremely common in this small courtyard.
"Bruce?"
Suddenly, a voice called him from behind.
Bruce turned his head and saw a child who looked younger than him, but with premature aging and his hair had turned white at an early age.
Or--
silver?
