Chapter 228 I am writing apocrypha in Marvel
Fury's first attempt ended in failure.
Not only that, he also killed two generals.
a few days later.
"There is no such thing as ..."
Fury stood in front of the French window in his office, constantly savoring these words.
Clint and Natasha have recovered from their previous state of disorientation, but they have not fully recovered and still need time to recuperate.
Steve didn't use any heavy hands, he just let them see some extremely horrifying scenes.
With the help of a psychiatrist, Clint and Natasha told what they had seen.
"I saw Agent Hill shooting at me."
This is Clint's account -
"Not only that, the chief also shot me, and Natasha and I also fought."
"That's all an illusion, Clint." The psychiatrist comforted Hawkeye and said slowly, "It's not real."
“No, that’s the future!”
Clint was adamant about this, "I can't remember anything else, I just remember my teammates shooting at me!"
Faced with such an attitude, the psychologist could only let Clint calm down for a while.
Because on the other side, Natasha's condition was even more serious.
"Hawkeye threw me off a cliff!"
Natasha's expression was calm. As an excellent agent, she would not show her true emotions on her face.
"It's a very strange place, I don't know where it is."
She said, “I fell off a cliff and Hawkeye grabbed my hand, but after a while, he let go and let me fall!”
"That's not going to happen, Natasha." The psychiatrist tried to ease Natasha's pain.
But Natasha's attitude was even more resolute than Clint's.
"No, that's the future that's going to happen!"
……
At this time, Fury saw the report about Clint and Natasha and couldn't help but feel a headache.
"betray."
He murmured, "Everything they said was about betrayal."
Killing people and destroying their hearts, is this Steve's method?
If the idea that teammates will betray is implanted in the agent's mind, it will be difficult to carry out any mission in the future.
SHIELD would naturally no longer exist.
"Director——"
At this moment, Agent Hill knocked on the office door. With a serious expression, she said to Fury, "There is new information."
"Go ahead."
"There's news from Captain America," Agent Hill said. "He sent a letter saying he'll meet with you tonight."
"letter?"
Fury thought that this method of communication was really in line with Captain America's temperament.
He took the letter from Agent Hill. The content was very brief, and Fury read it at a glance.
——"Mr. Fury, we will meet in an unexpected way tonight and continue our unfinished topic."
Signed by Steve Rogers.
Apart from this, there is nothing else.
"Who sent the letter?" Fury asked. "Did you try to trace its origin?"
"That's exactly what I want to tell you, Chief."
Agent Hill smiled bitterly and said, "The person who sent this letter was not a person, but an owl. It dropped the letter downstairs and immediately disappeared."
Hearing this answer, Fury was silent for a long time.
owl.
After Captain America returned, he seemed to be full of owl elements.
"I see."
He sighed and said, "It seems that I have no choice but to go to the meeting alone."
In fact, Fury was also very curious about what the unexpected way of meeting that Steve mentioned was.
……
In the mirror world, Bruce raised his head and looked at the huge owl totem in the sky.
From his perspective, the totem extended a thread that was imperceptible to the naked eye and spread beyond the world.
The thread is connecting Steve Rogers.
Katum was beside him, a look of relief and helplessness on his face.
"Sure enough."
Owl said, "The appearance of this demon totem is a deal between the Marvel world and us."
In the original plan, Katum wanted to plunder the power of the demon and then run away.
The appearance of the Owl Demon Totem was completely unexpected.
Now it seems that this represents the will of the Marvel world.
The meaning behind it is also easy to understand.
No matter what, the dimensional demon is ultimately part of the Marvel Universe. If Katum takes away these forces, it will be an irreversible loss to the Marvel multiverse.
Then the demon totem corresponding to Katum appeared.
"You can cheat the dimensional demon of power, but you can't take it away so easily. You must leave a part of it behind, no matter what form it takes."
Katum commented, "This is very American. You can buy it for free, but you have to pay taxes."
As for how to leave power, Katum has already made the first attempt.
That's the most common way in the Marvel world, lending power to Marvel's natives.
"Lend power to others, and then take it back in the form of faith. This power of faith belongs entirely to us and can be used at will."
This method of transformation sounded familiar to Bruce.
“Isn’t this money laundering?” he said. “Isn’t this what Marvel does?”
"We are all a Ponzi scheme, so we have to do the whole job."
Katum said, "In short, this is the process from now on. We cheat the power from the demon god, and then lend it to the people of Earth. In return, we get the power that belongs to us completely in the form of faith."
"That sounds like a lot of trouble."
Bruce thought that they had to lend power to humans while also letting the demons continue to see double returns, and this balance was difficult to find.
It was previously said that this scam could last for ten years, but now it seems that the time may be significantly shortened.
“But I think it’s a good thing.”
Katoom grinned, jumped onto Bruce's shoulder, stretched out his wings and supported Bruce's head.
"The Marvel world is inherently unfair. The emergence of superpowers is too random, and too many tragedies have occurred as a result."
In short, it’s too much about appearance.
There are too many examples of this in the Marvel world.
In order to obtain powers similar to those of superheroes, villains conduct various experiments and eventually turn themselves into monsters.
But now that the Owl Demon has appeared, everything has changed.
In short, as long as you believe in the owl totem, you will have the opportunity to gain the power of the demon.
The more devout you are to the owl, the more likely you are to gain powerful superpowers.
"I've been wanting to say this for a long time."
Katum coughed lightly and said, "From now on, anyone who believes in the Demon God Katum, if he practices three points, I will respond to him seven points; if he practices ten points, I will be there to help him at any time!"
Cool!
After saying this, every pore in Katum's body relaxed.
He suddenly felt a little emotional.
The identity of the demon king that was made up to deceive little Bruce is now slowly becoming a reality. However, this demon king never harms people, but only pits demons of the same level.
He is the most benevolent and kind demon king.
Bruce saw that Katum was happier than ever before and didn't want to ruin his good mood.
"whatever."
He said, "But now we have to get our energy back. We have to meet Fury tonight."
Before, Steve summoned the gods, and Bruce took over and showed Clint and Natasha what fear was.
As agents, what they fear most is betrayal by people they trust.
Still a little immature.
"Those images are not hallucinations. They are carefully selected by me."
At this time, Katum said, "We didn't lie to them. This is what will happen in the future."
The scene where Clint sees Hill and Fury shooting at him and Natasha fighting him is from the movie The Avengers.
The real situation at that time was that Hawkeye was controlled by Loki with the Mind Gem, and the traitor was Hawkeye himself.
And Natasha saw Clint throwing him off the cliff, which is from "Avengers 4", but the truth is the opposite of what Natasha saw, and the two of them were sacrificing themselves voluntarily.
"But these things won't happen anymore, right?"
Bruce confirmed, "Has the future been changed by us?"
After all, Batboy has no psychological burden in scaring others with scary images.
But once these images come true, Bruce will feel that he is also involved in this tragedy.
"Who can tell what will happen in the future?"
Katum said, "But with the impact we have caused, those scenes are unlikely to happen."
That's pretty much it.
Bruce collected his thoughts and the most important thing at the moment was the meeting with Fury in the evening.
Fury will be a key part of the Owl Demon's promotion plan.
Steve will be at the meeting, as will Katoom.
In order to serve as a translator, Bruce naturally could not be absent.
He wasn't worried that Fury would recognize him.
Bruce is fully confident in his disguise skills!
……
In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.
Fury stood in his safe house, quietly looking at the moon outside the window.
Steve said they would meet in an unexpected way, and Fury wanted to see how unexpected it would be.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was counting the time silently in his heart.
It was already late at night, but there was no sign of the meeting Steve had agreed to start.
"Can't you find me?"
Fury thought, if Steve couldn't even find his whereabouts, then the power behind him couldn't be that great.
This year just flashed through his mind, and suddenly, a gray mist appeared around him.
"This is--"
Fury noticed the change immediately. Countless possibilities occurred to his mind, but before he could verify his ideas, the gray fog instantly enveloped him.
When he opened his eyes again, Fury was already in a completely unfamiliar environment.
The edges of the environment were pitch black, and it was impossible to tell how big the space was. In the middle of the space, there was a long table where Steve was already sitting.
"Good evening, Chief Fury."
Steve smiled and said, "I told you that the way we meet will be unexpected."
"I admit that."
Although Fury looked calm on the surface, he was actually on alert. His only remaining eye was constantly scanning around, memorizing everything he saw deeply in his mind.
He saw that there was another person sitting at the head of the long table.
His face couldn't be seen clearly as he was completely shrouded in the shadow of a huge chair back, and above the chair back stood an owl.
"No need to be so reserved, Mr. Fury."
Bruce spoke in a very low voice, and for a moment Fury couldn't even determine the other person's gender.
"Please take a seat."
Bruce pointed to an empty seat next to him and said, "We are sincere in today's communication. You don't need to feel any pressure."
Fury would not feel relaxed because of the other party's words, but he still had to do what he had to do.
After all, he is the director of SHIELD and cannot lose face for SHIELD in public.
Fury looked relaxed and sat down in his seat.
"I don't know what I should call you."
Fury smiled and said, "Since we are having this conversation out of sincerity, I think I should have the honor of knowing your name, right?"
"Katum."
Bruce said calmly, "This is my name."
Steve stood there in silence. Bruce's answer seemed perfectly normal to him.
"This isn't Bruce talking, he's just a translator."
Steve thought to himself, "The one who really spoke was Master Katoom on the back of the chair. It's a pity that Fury didn't know this. He couldn't recognize the real tall man, oh no, tall bird standing in front of him."
Thinking of this, Steve felt somewhat satisfied.
He could see at a glance that Master Katum was extraordinary.
"Mr. Katoom."
Fury greeted him solemnly, "I think we should start our communication today."
"of course can."
Bruce said, "You are our guest, so out of courtesy we can answer your questions first."
"it is good!"
Fury was not polite at all. He agreed immediately and then raised the issue that concerned him most.
"Who are you?"
He asked, "Are you from Earth?"
This question exposed Fury's deepest and most concerning fear.
Ever since he witnessed the power of aliens in the 1990s, he has been wondering how humans can protect themselves and resist the invasion if aliens invade the earth one day.
And now, the sudden appearance of the Owl School made Fury's heart tense.
"Let me answer your second question first."
Bruce smiled and said, "Of course I am from Earth, and I was born and raised on Earth, Mr. Fury. The problems you are worried about, at least here, will not happen!"
Fury doesn't have to worry about Bruce invading Earth.
"is it?"
Fury was skeptical. He couldn't trust Bruce completely just because of his words.
"Mr. Fury, I know you don't trust us. This is your professionalism. I don't blame you."
Bruce suddenly said, "But no matter what, at least you should trust Captain America. He was once your hero and his character is recognized by everyone."
Fury said nothing.
How does he know whether this Captain America is real or fake?
Bruce saw Fury's worry, he chuckled, suddenly stretched out his hand and made a move out of thin air.
Then, right before Fury's eyes, a few golden lines outlined, and an ancient book slowly appeared.
"This is the history of the School of Owls and our most important scripture."
Bruce picked up the ancient book and handed it to Fury.
"Now, we are making it public to you. We hope that after reading it, you will have some trust in us!"
