Chapter 218: Bruce Wayne, the Eternal Chosen of the Owl
Katum called out several times, but Bruce showed no signs of waking up.
"This guy……"
Owl was a little helpless. Bruce was indeed very tired during this period of time.
He goes to school during the day, participates in . training in the afternoon, and travels to different dimensions with Katoom at night.
There is no chance to breathe.
"Should I let him get some sleep?"
Although Katum could forcibly summon the sleeping Bruce, there was really no need to do so.
Even though he had always treated Bruce like a beast of burden, he was still a growing child after all.
"Forget it, I won't wake you up this time."
Katum left the ball of light and flew above the gray fog. The surrounding scenery at this time seemed familiar to him.
"It turns out that I read too many novels in my previous life."
Katum thought that even the totem scene he constructed after becoming a demon god was a scene he had seen in novels.
"If I could get a few more people in, I could set up some secret society using Tarot cards as a code name."
But given the tone of the Marvel world, if they want to form a secret society, it might just be formed in one second and a civil war might start in the next.
Forget it, let’s not waste time.
At this time, Katum hadn't spoken yet, but Tony spoke first.
"It's you, isn't it?"
He looked at Katum with an uncertain look. "Are you the owl I saw before? Where did you take me? What do you want to do?"
Katum tilted his head, feeling that Stark's words contained a lot of information.
Had he ever seen another owl as smart as himself?
It looks like it's a fake.
Katum was silent for a few seconds, then chuckled. His tone was calm and his voice was low but not deep, as if he was responding to a visitor's polite greeting:
“This is an attempt.”
When he said this, Katum felt inexplicably happy.
But when Tony heard these words, they turned into a series of owl hoots.
He had no ability to communicate with animals, so naturally he couldn't understand what Katum was saying.
"Do you have anything to say to me?" Stark asked, "Where is the little boy who was with you before?"
This sentence is equivalent to confirming Katum's conjecture.
Tony Stark had indeed seen a fake Birdman duo before.
This is important information. Katum brought Bruce to this world originally to get rid of these two guys who shouldn't exist.
"Looks like they found Stark."
Owl thought, "After that, we just need to keep an eye on Stark and wait for him to come."
Judging from Stark's current performance, it is obvious that he does not know more information, and further questioning will yield no results.
Besides, bringing Tony in was really just an attempt. Now that there's no way to communicate, let's just send him back.
So Katum flapped his wings, ready to send Stark out directly.
However, at this moment, Tony seemed to sense that he was about to be sent away, and he quickly said, "Wait a minute!"
After saying that, he skillfully took out a gold-stamped business card from his chest pocket.
"I know you guys have been helping me before."
He said, "I want to express my gratitude to you, but I can't find you. This is my special business card. Take this card to Stark Group and you can see me directly!"
After that, he stuffed the business card into the owl's wings without caring whether Katum agreed or not.
"I really have a lot to say to you."
Tony showed an unprecedented sentimental attitude, "I would be very happy if you could come and see me."
After he said this, he heard an owl hoot twice.
"Cuckoo."
Stark didn't know whether this was an agreement or a rejection. In the next moment, his eyes went dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back at Stark Manor.
Thinking of what he had just experienced, he couldn't help but check his body.
Nothing unusual.
"Unfathomable abilities."
Tony sighed and thought, "My understanding of this world is really too shallow."
At this moment, Tony Stark's natural curiosity occupied all his thoughts.
He had to do something to learn more about the world.
……
Katum stayed in the gray fog area and probably figured out the function of the totem.
"My current state is equivalent to a new demon totem, able to connect with various people with special talents."
Katum analyzed and said, "If someone asks me for strength, I can respond to them."
There are roughly two sources of power for superhumans in the Marvel world.
The poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology.
The so-called poor people rely on mutation, but behind this, it is actually the choice of countless demons.
For example, Spider-Man Peter Parker seemed to gain power after being bitten by a spider and his genes mutated, but the truth is that he was chosen by the spider totem.
Peter Parker is not alone, there are many such people.
Banner's ability to transform into the Hulk is seemingly a mutation caused by gamma rays, and is the choice below all evil.
It seems that Wanda’s ability to become the Scarlet Witch was guided by the Mind Gem, but it was actually the choice of the ancient god Yama Sithon.
Behind these people with super powers, there stands a demon or a demon-level figure.
"It seems we should follow the local customs."
Bruce's extraordinary abilities were acquired through learning, which is incompatible with the original Marvel world.
Now the Marvel world has fixed this bug, making Katoom the demon and Bruce the chosen one of the owls. At least on the surface, it conforms to the laws of the world.
Katoom couldn't help but think that in the current situation, he and Bruce were really no different from the natives of Marvel.
This will definitely bring about some unexpected changes, but he has not discovered it yet.
"Let's wait until Bruce wakes up and see if there are any changes in him."
……
When Bruce opened his eyes from his sleep, he had an extremely conflicting feeling.
On the one hand, all his previous fatigue was gone, and he was now full of energy.
On the other hand, he felt an extremely heavy feeling of pressure in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe, as if he was suffering from sleep paralysis.
"you're awake?"
The owl's face suddenly came close to him, and Bruce realized then that the strange feeling of oppression in his chest was entirely caused by Katoom standing on him.
"Hurry up, I have something important to tell you."
Katoom chattered on and on, but got no response from Bruce.
Not only that, Batboy's face became redder and redder, until it turned purple.
"what happened to you?"
Katum asked with concern, "Is there something wrong with your body? I knew you must have been affected!"
"you--"
Bruce almost couldn't catch his breath. He grabbed Katum and threw him around before he managed to sit up and breathe deeply.
Has Katoom gained weight?
It suddenly occurred to him that the owl had stood on his shoulders many times before, but never as heavy as it was today.
When they met in the previous few days, they were in soul state. Souls have no mass, so Bruce could not find anything unusual.
Thinking of this, Bruce's curiosity grew.
He had to find out if Katum was really fat.
On the other side, Katum was thrown aside by Bruce, but he didn't take it to heart. He jumped up and down, sat with Bruce, and said -
"You will never guess what happened last night!"
He did not hide anything and told Bruce about the demon totem.
"I called you for a long time, but you didn't wake up. It's a pity, otherwise we could have fooled Tony Stark together."
The owl said, pulling out a business card from its feathers, "This is something Stark left behind. Keep it for you."
Bruce took the gold-stamped business card.
Written on it is Tony Stark's name and his personal contact information. It is conceivable that Stark would never give out this business card easily.
"I can't imagine how we could possibly intersect with Stark."
Bruce said, "He's going to become Iron Man and start a new era. This has nothing to do with us."
As he said this, he extended his hand to Katum's back.
Bruce hugged Owl like a good friend, and then couldn't help but scratch it a few times.
really--
I don't know when the owl's hand became so round and fleshy.
Bruce wondered what kind of food Katum had been eating during this period to make him so fat?
"You're right, but the situation now is that our existence has become like Marvel natives."
Katoom said, "So I'm worried that we might be involved in some strange fate. Wait, what are you doing?"
He finally noticed Bruce's little move.
I scratched him a few times for no apparent reason. It was really itchy and I couldn't help but notice it.
"nothing!"
Bruce naturally took his hand back and asked, "Katum, didn't you feel tired when you were flying in the sky recently?"
“It seems to be a little bit.”
Katum thought for a moment and said, "This must be because I gained too much power and inadvertently enhanced my physical fitness."
"Your physical fitness has improved, shouldn't you be able to fly faster?"
Bruce asked, "Why would it be more difficult to fly?"
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Katum felt confused. He was discussing business with Bruce seriously, but Batboy was always talking about irrelevant things.
Does it matter whether he flies with difficulty or not?
"Can you be serious?"
The owl said, "What I am discussing with you now is a very important matter!"
The current situation is that a new demon totem has appeared in the Marvel world, corresponding to Katum.
Because of the existence of this totem, the fate of many people may be connected with it, and conversely, the owl will also be involved in the fate of these people.
"Don't think this has nothing to do with you!"
Katoom warned Bruce very seriously, "You and I are bound together. If anything happens to me, you can't escape."
"I know I know!"
Although Bruce wanted to concentrate on listening to Katoom, he couldn't help but be distracted when he saw the owl's current bulging appearance.
And Katoom himself didn't seem to notice that he had gained weight.
Batboy tried hard to think, and finally asked a serious question.
"What changes will occur when you become a demon god?"
"The most obvious thing is that you have become my eternal chosen one."
Katum said, "Not only that, there may be several Owl Chosen besides you."
It's possible for anyone.
After all, the owl has almost all the power of the demons.
