Chapter 248 Please give the order, Commander Bruce!
"What energy is particularly concentrated?"
Steve looked puzzled, he couldn't even understand the words, so where was he supposed to start looking?
"That kind of place should be very eye-catching!"
Carol reminded loudly, "You can see the problem at first glance."
First sight?
Steve looked up and could no longer see the sky. Energy was bursting everywhere above the city, just like the end of the world.
Some people who woke up from the freeze frame were screaming and running away. Some people who ran slowly were concentrated by the splashing energy and disappeared directly from the spot.
He had just dealt with a few people who were causing trouble with guns, but this was obviously not enough. Panic was spreading among all the citizens.
Aren’t these all problems in Steve’s eyes?
Where else do you need to look specifically?
When Steve told Carol this, she was silent for a while before saying -
"Here's what, Captain, can you find any cameras around here?"
"Camera?" Steve looked around and saw that all the shops on the street were empty, so it shouldn't be a problem to find one or two cameras.
The key is that he doesn't know how to use it very well.
"It's okay, I'll teach you."
Carol spoke softly, as if she was teaching an elderly family member how to use modern electronic products.
"You search first, and then I'll use a special signal to connect in, and then I'll teach you how to use it."
Speaking of which, Carol's impression of Earth's technology is still stuck in the 1990s, but compared to Steve, he is a pure modern person.
As Steve started looking for the camera, Carol took the phone away, pressed the microphone with her hand, and whispered to Fury:
"Where did you dig out such an antique?"
"Inside Agent Carter's bed," Fury said.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Steve finally found a camera.
"I left two hundred dollars at the counter. I don't know if it's enough. Peggy only allowed me to have this much money in my pocket," he said on the phone.
"It's okay, just do as I say next."
Carol patiently guided Steve step by step on how to operate the machine.
A moment later, the receiver in Fury's hand received a signal. He quickly took out a device from his arms, which unfolded into a screen in a few seconds.
Soon, a picture appeared on the screen, which was Steve's big face.
"Captain America!"
Finally, a child in the crowd of onlookers cried out in surprise.
They recognized this American legend who was often seen in comics.
"Good boy, be quiet." Fury whispered, and the child's mother immediately covered her son's mouth.
There are more and more people in Liberty State Park, and people are constantly being reported out from New York.
But with Carol here, her aura suppressed everyone. No one dared to make a loud noise and they could only watch quietly.
The perspective on the screen became increasingly strange, until all that could be seen was Steve's nostrils.
"Captain Rogers, please turn the view so that everyone can see the surrounding situation."
Carol taught Steve how to fix the perspective, but Steve seemed to have lost his mind and couldn't learn it no matter how she taught him.
Finally, Carol couldn't bear it anymore.
"Private Steve!" she yelled.
Hearing this, Steve stood at attention like a conditioned reflex and replied firmly: "Yes, sir!"
After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.
"To be precise, my rank is captain," Steve corrected in a low voice.
"Now is not the time to worry about these things!" Carol said angrily, "From this moment on, until the crisis is over, I will be your temporary superior. You must strictly follow what I teach you to do next. There can be no compromise!"
This was just right, and Steve instantly felt like he was back in the most familiar environment.
It was as if he had finally gotten the hang of it; all operations became smooth, and he could manipulate the angle of view as if the camera was attached to his face.
Carol finally saw what New York City was like now.
"Oh my God..." She muttered softly. The development of this matter was completely beyond her imagination.
With such a crisis happening in New York, she had to reassess the extent of the danger the Earth faced.
Those flowing energies not only contain the shadow of ancient magic, but also technology that surpasses the Earth's civilization.
Steve carefully changed the perspective, trying to let Carol see the entire city.
Finally, when the screen swept over Stark Tower, Carol shouted stop.
"right here!"
She said, "Captain Rogers, please go to that building immediately!"
Steve felt like a war correspondent. He had never done such a job, but the danger was obvious.
Just right for him!
Steve didn't hesitate, he raised the camera and ran towards the Stark Tower. His hands were steady and the camera didn't shake even during his rapid run.
The scene in the distance began to be revealed to everyone little by little.
……
Bruce looked up at Wanda floating in the air and wanted to intervene, but there was nothing he could do.
"I really didn't expect Wanda to be able to do this."
Katum frowned and said, "At first glance, I thought it was Sisos himself."
Sisos, the god of black magic, is the source of Wanda's chaos magic.
In Wanda's current state, her body is wrapped in crimson magic and her eyes are rolled back. It is hard to believe that she is controlling this power herself.
The first thing Katoum wanted to ask was what exactly did Sisos see in Wanda.
This kind of empowering treatment is no different from being a biological daughter.
But compared to this, what is even more incredible is that under such an attack, the reincarnated bat can actually fight against it and not lose the upper hand.
"Learn from others, Bruce."
Katum muttered quietly, "It's been less than half a year since the reincarnation bat was created, and it's already so powerful."
"Maybe it's because his owl is more educational."
Bruce retorted casually, then returned to the point, "Shut up, Katum, it's our turn to work."
We can't let Wanda carry it all the time.
"What are you going to do?" Katum asked.
This time, the strategy of the battle was no longer controlled by Owl, but was entirely handed over to Bruce.
Since he was wearing the crown of wisdom and had calculated so much about the future, he must have figured out what to do when he took off the crown.
It's not about possibility or not, it's about trust.
The trust between Katoom and Bruce.
At this juncture, since Batboy said he could solve it, Owl would believe him unconditionally.
"The reincarnated bat said something before, if we can become one, then he can too."
Bruce said, "But he was wrong about one thing. The so-called fusion is two-way. Not only can you possess me, but sometimes I can also possess you!"
This is why he transformed himself into a soul state from the very beginning.
The moment the reincarnated bat roughly took the zombie owl into its body, there was no chance of turning back.
As Bruce finished his words, he slowly floated up.
He approached Katum, his figure gradually becoming illusory, and in the connection of the soul contract, Bruce and Katum became one again.
Only this time, it was no longer Batman who stayed at the scene, but an owl. This experience was also new to Katum, and he could hear Bruce talking in his heart.
"vomit--"
Bruce retched and said, "How can your spiritual world be so dirty!"
"It's none of your business!" Katum cursed, "Whatever you want to do, do it quickly and stop prying into my privacy!"
“You call this privacy?”
Bruce was really helpless standing in Katum's inner world.
Katum's spiritual palace was surprisingly simple. Apart from a heavily locked gate that connected the sky and the earth, there was only a brightly lit town.
There were countless owls partying inside, and the ground was a mess.
Bruce even saw a small group of owls soaking in the hot springs, with dinner plates floating in front of them, topped with small mountains of food.
"Your mind is always thinking about eating. No wonder you're so fat and don't even realize it." Bruce whispered.
"What did you say?" Katum's voice sounded above the Palace of the Soul, echoing continuously.
"nothing."
Bruce retracted his thoughts and waved his finger -
"Call the gods to protect you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless silver shadows flew out of his body and quickly occupied Katum's mind palace.
"I'll lend you these little owls."
Bruce said, and a silver shadow flew into the body of each owl.
These owls represent Katoom's different emotions and personalities.
Some represent greed, some represent laziness, some represent insidiousness, and some represent lies...
From this perspective, the dead owl is truly an unforgivable evil.
After Bruce's patronus occupied Katum's spiritual palace, the surroundings suddenly became bright.
In reality, Katum's temperament began to change.
He had a compassionate expression and silver light circulated around his body. He no longer looked like the sneaky, bad owl before, but a good guardian angel who saved people from suffering.
"It's time to fly!" Bruce shouted.
Katoom flapped its wings and flew high, staring at the pressure of crimson magic and green data, flying straight towards Wanda.
He was like a guardian angel transformed by a spell. Even when he came to Wanda's side, he did not stop at all. Instead, he continued to accelerate and crashed directly into Wanda's body.
At this moment, the crimson magic controlled by Wanda suddenly began to become restless, as if it was overloaded, and its power increased by more than a little.
The reincarnated bat was caught off guard and was pushed back dozens of meters.
"How can it be……"
He raised his head and looked above Wanda's head.
There, the crimson magic power turned into strands of silk, intertwining with each other, slowly weaving out a huge totem.
There is no doubt that it looks like an owl.
……
Steve ran with the camera above his head, and the scenes happening in front of Stark Tower were shown to everyone without reservation.
Those who were teleported out of New York witnessed the entire process.
A huge owl shadow spread its wings and cried loudly, its wings almost covering the entire New York.
"how so……"
Carol was well-informed, and her first thought when she saw this scene was that demons were invading the world.
This was beyond what she could handle, as it involved the power of magic.
If she remembered correctly, there should be a group of hidden magical masters on Earth. Why haven't they appeared now?
What surprised Carol even more was that when Fury saw the owl, his originally tense expression visibly relaxed.
"Do you know this totem?" Carol couldn't help asking.
"We have some acquaintance."
Fury said vaguely, "If that group of people come out, I think they can be trusted."
Although he answered evasively, he actually hoped that Carol would continue asking.
Fury really had a lot to say, and no one knew more about magic and the School of Owl than he did.
He had read about Hogwarts, Harry Potter, and Voldemort countless times through magic books.
If I really want to talk to Carol, Fury's own analysis of the plot alone could take three days and three nights.
"Are you sure you can trust me?" Carol was hesitant. "That's not something you would say."
"Of course you can trust me."
Fury asked in return, "Do we have any other choice now except to trust them?"
……
Wanda closed her eyes and felt herself falling.
This experience was not unfamiliar to her. When her parents died, it was as if a hole had been dug out in her heart, and her whole body sank into it.
It kept sinking and sinking, and it hasn't stopped until now.
So she's used to it.
“I wonder how long it will sink this time.” Wanda thought to herself.
But soon the answer was revealed to her, and she didn't need to sink any further.
A pair of hands caught her, and a familiar voice came to her ears.
"Okay, Wanda is in place too?"
Bruce?
Wanda recognized the entire voice, and she opened her eyes belatedly and saw Bruce's face.
To be honest, from her perspective, she could only see Bruce's chin.
"Maybe Bruce will have an apple chin in the future?" Wanda suddenly had this strange idea.
The so-called apple chin means that there is an extra groove in the middle of the chin compared to normal people, dividing it into two halves, and the more obvious one will become an "ω" shape.
Bruce has already shown some signs, but it shouldn't be that exaggerated.
"Oh! I forgot to put you down."
Bruce quickly put Wanda on the ground. Wanda was too light, and he didn't feel any effort in holding her.
Wanda's attention was still on Bruce's chin.
"Huh? Aren't you surprised?"
Bruce pulled Wanda out of her own thoughts, and only then did Wanda realize that there were owls flying all around her.
In addition, there was a group of owls forming a square formation and standing in front of them.
The leading owl straightened his chest and raised his head, saluted, and said loudly: "Private First Class Katum is reporting in, temporary commander Bruce, please give the order!"
"it is good!"
Bruce was also very excited. "The plan to rebuild the world starts!"
What is the plan to rebuild the world?
Wanda was still a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.
But the next second, she saw the crimson power flying out of her body, uncontrollably, and merging with the silver magic summoned by Bruce.
