Chapter 251 I appoint you as a Horcrux destruction expert
As the silhouette of the great owl dissipated, it fired an Avada Kedavra curse at the soul of the reincarnated bat.
The green light went straight for the floating soul and hit the target.
However, the imagined soul-shattering did not occur. The shadow, under the power of the killing curse, did not slow down at all and disappeared in front of the big owl in the blink of an eye.
"I see……"
This incident made the big owl realize the problem.
But there was nothing he could do now. The next second, the big owl disappeared completely, leaving two figures in its place, Katum and Bruce.
"see it?"
As soon as they separated, Bruce couldn't wait to mention what had just happened.
A soul that even the Avatar cannot kill is no longer an ordinary soul.
Bruce and Katum knew exactly what was going on.
"It's all your fault, kid!"
Bruce flew over, wanting to grab Katum's neck, and even better, he could slap the dead owl twice.
But Katum was as agile as ever. After dodging Bruce, he was able to come up with a few excuses for himself.
"No one wants this to happen!"
The owl said, "Besides, if I hadn't implanted Voldemort's personality into the reincarnated bat's brain before, you would have been killed when we met, okay?"
That's right, the problem lies in Voldemort's personality.
The fact that the soul of the reincarnated bat is immortal has irrefutably proved one thing—
This little zombie has created a Horcrux!
Unless all Horcruxes are destroyed, he will never be completely destroyed!
Now, although the reincarnated bat has been temporarily eliminated, there is no doubt that he will definitely make a comeback.
Bruce was upset for a while because he couldn't catch the owl, but after a while, he turned his attention back to the business.
"We have to destroy the Horcruxes."
Bruce said, "Not a single one can be left. They must all be destroyed!"
"Okay! That's the right way to think!"
Katum seemed to have forgotten his mistake in an instant, and flew back to Bruce's shoulder, patted Batboy's head, and said righteously.
"Bruce, I order you to be an expert in destroying Horcruxes. Try to destroy all Horcruxes of the reincarnated bat within half a month!"
"go away!"
Bruce shooed Katoom away like a fly and began to think about what the Horcrux created by the reincarnated bat would be.
First of all, there is no doubt that Voldemort's personality will definitely affect the reincarnated bats, and their ideas will inevitably converge in the process of choosing Horcruxes.
What are Voldemort's criteria for choosing Horcruxes?
Those are items that have important symbolic meanings.
Voldemort has an almost paranoid fanaticism, believing that the status of the former owner of the Horcrux must be worthy of his own identity.
According to this line of thinking, the reincarnated bat would probably make the same choice.
So what are the symbolic objects in the Marvel world and the MCU universe?
Bruce immediately thought of two people.
Tony Stark and Steve Rogers!
"Jarvis!"
Bruce called out Tony's artificial intelligence butler again, and the orange holographic matrix appeared again.
He had obviously been waiting for a long time. As soon as he appeared, he couldn't wait to say, "Sir, have the enemies been repelled? Can we go and rescue Mr. Stark?"
This series of questions hit the nail on the head for Bruce.
Now is a great time to rescue Stark.
He opened his mouth to answer when a voice suddenly came to his ear.
"Bruce?"
When I turned around, I saw Wanda stumbling towards me.
In the previous battle, Wanda almost overdrew herself and used all her strength to drive chaos magic. At this moment, she looked particularly embarrassed and dirty.
She had obviously just walked over and hadn't heard what Jarvis said, and she was still asking, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Bruce looked at Wanda's current appearance, was silent for a moment, and said, "I'm fine."
He then untied the cloak from behind him and draped it over Wanda's shoulders.
This is a gift from Dumbledore to him, woven from the hair of the Thestrals. Although it has no function of curing illnesses or injuries, it can bring a sense of security psychologically after putting it on.
"I'm going to find Tony Stark now to avenge you."
Bruce said, "Do you want to come along?"
"Mr. Bruce..."
When Jarvis heard this, he immediately panicked. He wanted to ask Bruce what he meant, but was directly silenced by Bruce.
"Revenge?!" Wanda didn't expect that Bruce still remembered this matter. She finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. After all, helping Bruce before was not a wrong choice.
"I'm going!"
She expressed her opinion, then looked back at New York City which had returned to "normal".
Obviously, everything that just happened still had an impact on reality. At least the frozen experience caused countless citizens to fall into great panic.
The federal government's stability maintenance forces are arriving one after another, and many . agents are also among them.
Bruce also saw Pietro, who was unable to adjust his mentality and was squatting on the side of the road, feeling autistic.
"Let's go quickly."
Wanda decided to leave Pietro alone for a while.
She didn't know how to explain to Pietro. After all, she became a magical girl, but Pietro was still an ordinary person.
For the twins, this unfairness is hard to accept.
"it is good."
Bruce nodded, then turned on the private communication permissions of the battle suit, and Jarvis' voice sounded in his ears.
"Mr. Bruce! Are you kidding me?"
Jarvis said in a panic, "What did Mr. Stark do to you that you want to take revenge on him?"
"Don't panic, Jarvis." Bruce said, "I have no problem with Stark. He just needs to face up to what he has done. The first thing to do now is to rescue him."
After that, Bruce grabbed Wanda's hand, released Apparition, and the two disappeared from where they were.
"I haven't gotten in the car yet!" Katum shouted beside him. Bruce only took Wanda away and forgot to take him away.
What a jerk.
"Forget it, I'll go by myself."
Just as Katoom was about to Apparate, he saw a stream of light drawing an arc, flying from the horizon, and finally hovering in front of Katoom.
Captain Marvel Carol, covered in photon energy, greeted Katoom with a smile.
"Hello, little owl."
"I'm not good."
Katum didn't care whether Carol could understand what he was saying or not. After mumbling something, he disappeared from the spot.
Carol's smile froze instantly.
I was probably quite polite just now, right? Why did the owl run away when it saw me?
……
Inside Stark Manor.
Bruce and Wanda appeared in Tony's studio. As expected, Tony was lying on the ground in a blood-edged battle suit. "Is this Tony Stark?" Wanda asked hesitantly.
Bruce didn't rush to answer, but let Jarvis take over the authority of the Blood Edge Suit first.
Since Dr. Zola had disappeared without a trace, the process went extremely smoothly. Jarvis transformed the blood-edged suit into nanoparticles again, and Tony's pale face appeared in front of everyone.
His eyes were closed and he was unconscious. If he had not been breathing faintly, he would have been immediately identified as a corpse.
"Mr. Stark!"
When Jarvis saw Tony's miserable state, he was devastated and immediately connected to the manor's emergency system and started rescuing Tony.
Wanda stood aside, feeling unspeakable.
She rushed over in a hurry to seek revenge, but Tony Stark was already in a dying state.
Always felt……
What a disappointment!
bang——
After a noise, Katoom appeared beside Bruce.
"Is Stark dead?" the owl asked. "If he's not dead, let him get up and answer a few questions."
"You'll probably have to wait a while then."
Bruce said calmly.
He had just tried to separate Tony's soul and then talk to it, but found that Tony's body was empty and his soul was nowhere to be found.
In other words, the Tony in front of us now is just an empty shell, a vegetable.
This is obviously a very serious situation, but it does not prevent Bruce from achieving his goal of destroying the Horcruxes.
Because the first Horcrux has been found.
"Jarvis, does Stark have a spare arc reactor?" Bruce asked.
"Yes," Jarvis replied, "Mr. Stark made a lot of them just to prevent what happened to Obadiah from happening again."
"Then change it for him." Bruce said softly, "I want to take this thing on his chest now."
That's right.
The first Horcrux Bruce found was the Ark Reactor in Tony's chest.
I don’t know what the reincarnated bat did. Bruce has actually seen this Ark Reactor more than once before, but he never realized that it was a Horcrux.
But now that Bruce is determined to look for him, this disguise won't last long.
"Okay, okay." Jarvis didn't understand why, but finally chose to do as he was told.
Bruce took the Ark Reactor from Tony's chest, and a sentence written on it with a marker was particularly eye-catching.
"Tony Stark has a warm heart."
Needless to say, this is the first Ark reactor that Tony built in the Middle East.
Katoom stood on Bruce's shoulder and sighed, "I see, no wonder Tony Stark was able to see reincarnated bats in the desert."
He didn't see it with his eyes, but was affected by the Horcrux.
Bruce felt a little uncomfortable. At this moment, Bruce thought of what the reincarnated bat said when he first met him.
"...I have always been looking forward to a meeting like this, instead of having a thick barrier between us like before."
Is this what is meant by a thick barrier?
Bruce understood that the reincarnated bat had always been by Tony's side.
In his countless previous contacts with Tony, the reincarnated bat hid in this Ark reactor, secretly watching everything in the outside world.
He was there when he and Tony were discussing the battle suit deal; he was there when he and Tony were fighting Obadiah, and he was even more there when he took Tony to the world of the dead.
Looking at it this way, it’s really a bit creepy.
Bruce remembered one more thing.
When Stark and Steve first met and started fighting, Steve raised his shield and hit Stark in the chest again and again.
With that kind of force, the Ark reactor should be damaged immediately.
But it didn't.
Not only that, the Ark reactor was not even damaged at all.
If Bruce had noticed this at the time, many things that happened later would not have happened.
pity.
Bruce moved his fingers and a fragment of the warhammer appeared in his hand. The shape of the fragment changed and turned into a bat dart.
The batarang flashed with arcs of electricity, carrying the divine power of Asgard and Olympus.
Bruce didn't hesitate and stabbed the dart directly into the Ark reactor.
The divine power instantly penetrated into it, completely destroying the internal structure. The light of the Ark's reactor was extinguished, and it instantly turned into a piece of scrap metal.
"hiss--"
Bruce raised his eyebrows, his facial features squeezed together in pain.
Whispers began to ring in his ears. He seemed to see the reincarnated bat right beside him, twisting and struggling, waving its arms, screaming, and then...
He disappeared.
Solved a...
Bruce had just thought this when his eyes suddenly blurred and a picture unfolded before his eyes.
In the picture, Tony Stark is communicating with two owls. One of the owls is wearing a suit and looks like he deserves a beating.
Bruce was not unfamiliar with this scene. This was the scene when he and Katum came together to fool Tony.
"I see."
Tony said in the video, "That must be an experiment related to quantum flow. In fact, I have been studying teleportation during this period. From a scientific point of view, if you want to achieve teleportation and reach other places, you can only convert matter into quantum state first, and then use quantum teleportation technology to achieve instant transmission."
Quantum state?
Bruce once again captured this key word. When Tony mentioned this, he was just thinking about the feasibility of realizing it in terms of technology.
But now it appears again, which means that this sentence is extremely special to the reincarnated bat. It even appears specifically in the picture when the Horcrux is destroyed.
Bruce realized that he had overlooked a lot of special details at the beginning.
But what does the quantum state mean to the reincarnated bat?
Bruce was unclear for a moment.
While he was thinking, the images and illusions disappeared, leaving only Bruce standing there, holding a broken Ark reactor in his hand.
"Katum..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard the owl say, "I saw it, too."
Since the souls are connected, the owl can naturally see this illusion that affects the soul.
"What do you think this means?" Bruce asked.
"Isn't it obvious?"
Katum said, "When humans become quantum, they become ghosts. Ghosts...are they not souls?"
It just so happens that Tony's soul has disappeared from his body and no one knows where it has gone.
"We have to go to Kamar-Taj."
Katoum said, "Let's see if my beloved friend Master Ancient One can perform a necromancy ceremony."
Let’s call back Stark’s soul first.
