Chapter 68: Hot Blood Hard to Cool Down
Boom——
A loud thunder exploded in the sky.
The energy disorder caused by the star-devouring weapon changed the color of the sky and the earth.
The night sky was clear just now, but in the blink of an eye, dark clouds pushed over, and then the sky seemed to crack into countless holes, and heavy rain gathered into a waterfall, pouring down all at once.
In the rainstorm, the flames on Katum's body were extinguished and countless white smoke filled the air.
But he left the bird intact.
"Bruce, you only have one chance."
Katoom flew beside Bruce, and Deathstroke came out of the rain.
"Deathstroke now thinks that if I break your wand, you will have no power to resist. This is your chance!"
Create a non-existent weakness and deliberately expose a flaw to the opponent.
This was the chance Bruce created for himself to escape.
But there is only one chance, a sneak attack on Deathstroke, and only one chance!
"Think carefully about the combination of spells you're going to use next, and take out Deathstroke in one go!"
Bruce reminded Katum in his ear, "But there's no need to be too stressed. If you fail in the end, I can just take you away from this world."
Owls emphasize early on that they are meant to travel, not to be saviors.
This world is destined to be destroyed, and it has nothing to do with them.
Bruce did not comment on this point of view. He focused his attention on the first half of Katum's sentence.
Spell combination?
Bruce had heard Professor Flitwick talk about this when he was still at Hogwarts.
This is a combat technique used in wizard duels.
By linking different spells, you can always take the initiative in the duel.
Bruce quickly came up with a plan for casting the spell in his mind.
First, use the levitation spell to make the death knell float in the air, then use the freezing spell to freeze it in the rain, and finally add a spell to break it into pieces.
This is the most powerful spell combination he can use now.
Bruce clenched his fists. He only had one chance.
Deathstroke walked slowly over and drew out the two swords behind him, one of which was the Sword in the Stone he got from the Red Skull.
This divine weapon that had become scrap metal had actually regained some of its power in the hands of Deathstroke.
The rain poured down, but the moment it approached the sword blade, it seemed to be cut by an invisible force and naturally split into two halves.
It was as if nature itself was bowing to the majesty of the Sword in the Stone.
"I don't like targeting children, but the employers are offering too much."
Deathstroke stared at Bruce's slightly childish face with deep eyes.
He has extensive experience fighting Batman.
So we know that even if it is just a young Batman, there are infinite possibilities to turn defeat into victory.
Don't take it lightly until the last moment.
"He only asked me to bring you back, but he didn't say you had to be unharmed."
Deathstroke said, "Breaking your limbs and bringing them back will also be considered mission accomplished."
The words fell.
The death knell suddenly rushed towards Bruce. Due to its fast speed, the rain on the spot didn't even have time to react, leaving behind a human outline.
The two swords slashed and cut off the rain lines. Bruce only felt a flash before his eyes, and two silver lines passed in front of him. He instinctively made an evasive action.
However, Deathstroke's target was not him.
But it was Katum who was flying next to him.
Deathstroke could never rest in peace until this strange owl died.
When the sword blade hit Katum, the owl flapped its wings and its body twisted as if attracted by a point mass. He disappeared from where he was and then appeared several meters away.
"Teleportation, or the Speed Force?"
Deathstroke's attack missed. He didn't know about Apparition, but he had seen a similar power.
Just then, Bruce's voice rang in his ears.
Deathstroke instantly realized that he had chosen the wrong target, this owl was a bait!
"Leviosa!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Deathstroke had used up all his moves, Bruce used the levitation spell he had been waiting for for a long time.
It worked!
Seeing Deathstroke's feet leave the ground, Bruce immediately followed up with a combination of spells.
"Ice freeze!"
As the spell was chanted, cold air spread over Deathstroke and the rain began to freeze.
In just a blink of an eye, he turned into a human-shaped ice sculpture and fell heavily to the ground.
"Four and a half—"
Bruce was about to cast the cutting spell to turn the ice sculpture into pieces, but at this moment, Katoom interrupted him.
"That's enough."
The owl flew over and said in a heavy tone, "We can go now." "Why?"
Bruce was extremely puzzled. Now that he had the upper hand, he only needed one Cutting Curse to completely defeat Deathstroke.
Why should I stop myself?
The answer was soon revealed. Countless cracks began to spread on the ice sculpture of the death knell, and then with a sound like breaking glass, the ice sculpture turned into powder.
Deathstroke stood in the icy rain, his armor intact.
Bruce's pupils contracted as he realized the problem.
As Katoom had reminded him long ago, Deathstroke's armor was forged from promethium and was indestructible.
Bruce's current magic is simply unable to destroy it!
Even though the armor was destroyed with great difficulty, Deathstroke himself still has the ability to heal himself.
Coupled with the Sword in the Stone that was beginning to revive in his hand, Deathstroke could now even be said to be one of the strongest forces on this wasteland Earth.
From the beginning, this was a battle that could not be won!
……
On the other side, Hawkeye collapsed to the ground.
The Red Skull held Captain America's shield and hit him again and again.
Ever since he knew that the Galactus weapon was bound to the Red Skull's life, Hawkeye became timid and confused, and the battle was naturally one-sided.
"What's wrong Hawkeye? Didn't you want to kill me? Why are you silent now?"
The Red Skull laughed wildly, holding his favorite shield, enjoying the pleasure of killing.
Hawkeye's pupils have begun to dilate, and his life is entering its last moments.
As for Logan?
He could not be found in any corner of the battlefield.
Maybe he slipped away from the very beginning of the battle.
……
"We can't win, let's go!"
Katoom kept whispering in Bruce's ear that he would take him away from this world.
Bruce stood in the pouring rain, despair spreading in his heart.
Katum boosts others' morale and destroys his own prestige, just like a fugitive owl.
"Deathstroke has only one weakness, and that is the flaw in the super serum he once received.
"When he loses control of his emotions and falls into a rage, or when he is seriously injured and over-heals himself, his mind will be overwhelmed by madness and bestiality.
“Other than that, he’s just invincible.
"Bruce, you can't win, run away with me!"
Katum kept chattering, but Bruce became more and more annoyed.
What on earth did this owl do before? Didn't he say he was the demon king? Why was he thinking about running away with the bucket?
but--
Suddenly, a strange idea came into Bruce's mind.
Does Katum really want to take me away?
Bruce knew very well that the owl didn't need his consent to take him away from this world.
Just grab yourself, teleport to a safe place, then open the channel to the heavens and leave naturally.
But Katum didn't do that.
Not only that, he was even helping himself analyze Deathstroke's weaknesses.
Katum, what on earth are you thinking about?
"Let's go! If we don't leave now, we'll have no chance!"
The owl chirped as if the end of the world was approaching, but he still didn't make any move to leave, and just kept talking.
Bruce suddenly whispered, "Katum, you actually think I can win, right?"
He believed in his own judgment and Katum felt he could win.
But the question is how to win?
His magic was of no use at all, and Bruce couldn't see any possibility of winning.
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
The owl was still shaking his head. "In a world that is about to be destroyed, what's the point of winning or losing? Be careful!"
Bruce suddenly realized that Deathstroke had come to him again without him noticing, and the shadow enveloped Bruce.
Deathstroke raised both swords high, ready to strike down.
Deathstroke has always wanted to cut off Bruce's limbs and bring him to Barbatos, and he is about to succeed.
But at this moment, a huge roar came from behind Bruce.
A red convertible chariot with its high beams on roared towards us through the white rain.
"Bruce, get out of the way—"
The white-haired old man in the driver's seat shouted, his whole body was wet, and his eyes were burning with blood that would not cool down in fifty years.
