Chapter 216 Iron Man Escapes
Katoom and Bruce returned to Earth.
In their mirror world, countless balls of light were suspended, as if they had gathered into an ocean.
"The hardest step has been taken."
Owl looked at these demonic powers and spoke softly.
"After that, we just need to continue to operate on our own, repay double the power, and then borrow new power from those demon gods."
Don't worry that they won't lend you the money, because no demon will give up willingly.
Afterwards, Katum would tell those demons that the stronger the power lent, the longer it would take to get a double return.
In this way, the collapse of the scam will be significantly delayed.
Coupled with the huge number of dimensional demons, no one will notice the problem for at least ten years.
This also means that -
"In these ten years, the two of us will be the most respected people by the dimensional demons."
Katoom poked Bruce with his wing, "No one dares to offend someone who can give them double the power. We are heroes!"
Bruce didn't say anything, but he wasn't happy about this.
He stretched out his hand and took a ball of light in his hand.
If I remember correctly, this unique purple color represents the power of Dormammu.
"I'm somewhat unaccustomed to the power of these demon gods."
Bruce said this and separated a small part of the power of the light ball and absorbed it into his body.
In an instant, his entire being changed drastically.
A ball of fire with the smell of sulfur rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Bruce was wrapped in flames and his entire body seemed to melt in the fire.
His head slowly deformed until, in the end, it became a pumpkin head with a cruel smile, enveloped in an eternal flame.
"Kind of like Ghost Rider."
Katum said casually, stroking his chin with his wing.
Of course, there are still differences.
Ghost Rider is a skull and now Bruce is a pumpkin head.
"Stop making sarcastic remarks."
Bruce's transformation didn't last long. After all, he only used a little bit of strength. Soon, he turned back into his original form.
"Just now I heard countless souls wailing in my heart."
Bruce said, "I used just a little bit of strength and I almost got lost in it."
The power of the devil has a great impact on humans.
"Then don't be stupid and just use it."
Katum said, "Aren't you going to create a brand new Hell Bat armor? Isn't this just right? Make a Devil Bat."
"It's not that easy..."
Bruce had just said this when he suddenly remembered something.
"correct."
He said, "How long has Tony Stark been kidnapped to the Middle East? Why hasn't he escaped yet?"
"It should be soon, right?"
Katum thought, probably in these few days.
"I'll go take a look." He said, "I wanted to go before, but Gu Yi interrupted my schedule. You should go back and prepare."
Tony Stark escaped, and SHIELD would not remain silent.
As a new agent, Bruce might be busy.
In fact, Katum and Bruce didn't care much about Tony Stark.
But he is the origin of everything.
After Stark became Iron Man, the number of extraordinary cases in the MCU universe began to explode.
……
Bruce and Katum finished their mission for the day.
Batboy went back to his room to sleep, while Katum disappeared from the spot and Apparated towards the Middle East.
Once again halfway through the journey.
Suddenly, there was a bolt of lightning, and Katum's body fell out of the void.
"Ok?"
This familiar scene made the owl feel something was wrong.
His feathers had exploded at this time, and Thor's hammer flew out from it, hovering in the air, absorbing the lightning falling from the sky.
Katum looked up and saw that the sky in the area was covered with dark clouds.
Then, a beam of rainbow light fell from the sky, and when the light disappeared, a figure walked out from it.
He was tall and strong, but had white hair and a metal eyepatch covering one of his eyes.
The identity of the visitor is already very clear.
King of the Gods, Odin.
"Again?"
Katum wasn't really concerned about Odin's appearance, he now had a strange idea in his mind.
Why was it that every time he tried to get close to Tony Stark, something unexpected would happen and interrupt his journey?
Is this just a coincidence, or is there some hidden force at work?
The owl couldn't think of an answer for the time being, so he could only focus on Odin.
Ever since Odin appeared, he has been attracted by the hanging Thor's hammer.
Especially the cracks on the hammer made him very interested.
"It is interesting."
Odin smiled and said, "I can sense that this Thor's hammer is very close to you. If I'm not mistaken, you must have saved its world."
"It's easy."
Katum said, "You know, an owl like me has always been committed to saving the world."
Odin smiled and said nothing.
He slowly approached Thor's hammer, stretched out his hand, passed through the lightning raging around the hammer, and grasped the handle of the hammer.
Odin exerted force suddenly.
Then--
Thor's hammer remained motionless, showing no sign of submission to the appearance of the King of Gods.
"Sure enough."
Odin said with emotion, "It no longer belongs to Asgard alone. I feel a strange power in it. It must have been recast by other gods."
Even though Odin could feel the restrictions of the Asgard rune magic on Thor's hammer, even he could not break it.
Katum was almost confused by this old man.
The King of Gods suddenly appeared in front of him. Could it be that he wanted to talk about Thor's hammer?
Aren't they that familiar with each other yet?
After Odin's attempt failed, he withdrew his hand.
He looked harmless, like an old guy next door.
"Katum, can I call you that?"
He finally got to the point, "You've been a hot topic among the dimensional demons lately."
It turned out to be the case.
Katum thought, as expected, Odin also came because of the power of the demon.
“It’s just a small achievement.”
Katum remained calm and said, "I just want everyone to live a happy life."
"Stop pretending."
Odin smiled and shook his head. "Mephisto could see through all your tricks, so how could I not know? What you have done will eventually become the nightmare of all demon gods."
In ten years at most, after the Owl runs away, it will become the most hated object of the demons in all dimensions.
They would try every means to find Katoom, just to tear him to pieces to relieve their hatred. "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Katum said, "Are you here to persuade me to stop and find a way out for the other demons?"
"That's not true."
Odin's eyes were full of smiles when he looked at Katum, and in that smile, there was undisguised admiration.
"I have been looking for a way to suppress the arrogance of those dimensional demon gods, but unfortunately, I didn't find it... until you appeared."
Odin seemed to want to touch Katum's head and figure out how such a brilliant idea could come from this little head.
But when he stretched out his hand halfway, he realized that something was wrong and retracted it.
How can you touch an owl's head casually? It is very impolite.
"I'm not here to disrupt this plan, I'm here to join this plan."
Odin winked at Katum and said, “In fact, ever since you tricked Dormammu, I have started to deduce the feasibility of this plan.
"Later, I found that although your plan was good, it still had loopholes."
"What loophole?" Katum asked.
"You are too weak."
Odin said bluntly, "You can't defeat even the weakest demon easily. Katum, tell me, if several demons join forces to snatch the power in your hands, how will you deal with it?"
Even if it wasn't direct robbery but other means were used, Katum wouldn't be able to handle it.
Faced with Odin's question, Katum thought, that's it?
He didn't worry about this at all.
Not to mention that Owl has been trying to get powerful demons to endorse him. When the situation becomes too much to handle, he and Bruce will simply leave this world, and it will be impossible for anyone to catch up.
After all, not even Barbatos could do anything about their crossing.
"I have a backer."
Katum said, "Behind Bruce and I, there is a powerful being called Barbatos. Everything we are doing now is under his orders."
"It seems that Barbatos is your enemy."
After all, Odin is the king of gods. He has seen many conspiracies and intrigues, so he immediately saw through Katum's thoughts.
"But it's good this way. It can divert the trouble away. I just don't know if the one called Barbatos can withstand the wrath of countless demon gods."
Odin was indeed sincere and he simply ignored Katum's nonsense.
On the contrary, he stretched out his hand and a white ball of light flew out of his hand.
There were countless runes floating around this ball of light. Katum had seen these runes before in the games he had played in his previous life.
Rune.
Odin hung himself upside down on the World Tree for nine days and nine nights in order to seek the secrets of the universe.
The final response given by the World Tree was the Rune.
They fell from the World Tree, and after Odin picked them up, he possessed the power of the king of gods.
“This is my welcome gift.”
Odin said, "You and the little boy named Bruce can learn the rune magic from Asgard. This is not an investment, so I don't need a return."
Katum was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he directly collected Odin's ball of light.
Then he said, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"You can announce that even Odin has joined your game."
Odin smiled and said, "Mephisto is full of tricks and has a bad reputation outside. If you let him endorse it, it will only make people doubt whether this is Mephisto's conspiracy."
But it’s different when it comes to Odin.
As the leader of Asgard, Odin has always presented an extremely majestic king image to the outside world.
Only when such people join can the doubts of other demon gods be completely dispelled.
"I will continue to pay attention to you in the future."
Odin finally said, "If you encounter any problems, you can always come to me, and as expected, my son has recently-"
Having said this, he sighed and didn't continue.
Katum probably guessed what was going on.
Thor seemed to be showing signs of getting into trouble, and Odin was considering what to do with his son.
According to the development of the plot, Thor should be exiled to Earth soon.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say."
Odin raised his head and the rainbow beam of light appeared again, completely covering him.
"Come on, little owl."
He left these last words and then disappeared completely along with the rainbow beam of light.
Katum was the only one left standing there, feeling somewhat baffled.
The ball of light wrapped by runes is still in his hand, and the power of the rune magic contained in it is real.
"Why do I feel like I'm being used by Odin?"
Katum couldn't explain the reason, he just felt that Odin was taking advantage of the situation and using Katum's plan to carry out his own goals.
"Compared to this group of people, I am really too naive."
Owl sighed, he just wanted the power of the demons, but the others who joined later wanted their lives!
"Odin has joined, so Ancient One probably won't be far behind."
An idea suddenly occurred to Katum. He thought that compared to Odin, Ancient One might be more eager to join this plan.
After all, if she could get rid of all her creditors, she would never have to pay debts again.
"Scary guy."
Katum shuddered all over and was very worried. How could a simple owl like him survive in this treacherous world?
too frightening.
……
Middle East, desert, in a cave.
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the air, and a metal man with a silver glow all over his body walked out.
Outside the cave, countless terrorists from the Commandments looked at the huge metal creature with fear on their faces.
"It's my turn."
Tony Stark said inside the metal armor.
His voice was filled with anger and sadness, not only because of his hatred for this group of terrorists, but also because in the riot just now, his good friend Dr. Ethan used his life to buy him time.
Tony Stark raised his hands, and two streams of blazing flames shot out from the nozzles of his metal armor, sweeping towards the group of terrorists.
Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions almost razed the hideout to the ground.
Tony Stark leaped up, the armor spewing flames to provide power.
His whole body turned into an arc and left this nightmare place.
bang——
Tony fell heavily to the ground, his armor had disintegrated. After all, Mark I was developed in an extremely harsh environment, and its various indicators could not be considered excellent.
"Ha ha--"
Tony panted and peeled off the iron pieces still on his body piece by piece.
He struggled to stand up and looked around.
There was endless desert all around, and the scenery was exactly the same everywhere I looked. I had no idea where to leave.
But Tony didn't feel any despair.
He struggled to stand up, and suddenly put his hands to his mouth, shouting towards the empty sky -
"I did it! It's time for you to show up!"
The person who has been helping me in the dark will finally show up, right?
The next second, just as Tony Stark finished speaking, two figures appeared in the desert.
A little boy and an owl.
