Chapter 203 Five-Year Agreement Katum himself ran out faster than a dog. Bruce had just left the Batcave with Diana when this guy Apparated to him. Act like you're going on a trip. "How is it, have you missed me during this time?" Katum grinned and said, "Have you ever cried secretly where I can't see you?" "I heard you were hung up and beaten by the Merciless Iron Fist?" Bruce asked curiously, "Did it hurt?" "False news!" Katum flapped his wings. "It's obvious that Diana is outspoken. I even prepared a gift for her." After that, he took out a white lasso from the feathers. This was the Lasso of Lies that Merciless Iron Fist had used to tie up Katoom.
Now that Wumin Ironfist is dead, the noose naturally belongs to Owl. "Give it to you." Katum threw the Lasso of Lies to Diana, "It's useless to me, so I'd rather give it to you as a collection." When her daughter is born, she will have the Three Lassoes of Fate as toys. The Lasso of Truth from Mother, the Lasso of Secrets from Father, and the Lasso of Lies from Grandpa Owl. "Okay, that's enough pleasantries." After delivering the gift, Katoom urged Bruce to hurry to the Batcave. He had witnessed with his own eyes what monsters Merciless Iron Fist had created in the cave, Zombie Bruce and Zombie Katoom. "I don't mind any zombie blues." Katum said, "But that owl is too ugly. It infringes on my portrait rights and must not be allowed to exist!" The madness of the Merciless Iron Fist was beyond Owl's imagination. Originally, Katum thought that Merciless Iron Fist wanted to use the Mother Box to give life to the zombies, but he directly used stasis force to connect to the Wall of Origin. “That’s a little tricky.” Katoom thought, "If it is a force coming from the Wall of Origin, I wonder if Voldemort and Homelander can withstand it." I hope these two guys won't let him down. …… The two men and the bird soon arrived at the Merciless Iron Fist's bat cave. When they entered the cave, everything they saw was beyond their expectations. What caught my eye was the blood all over the ground.
The Batcave at this moment looked like a murder scene. But the strange thing is that although the scene was horrific, there were no victims, no bodies, nothing. Only in the middle of the pool of blood, there was a human outline on the ground. There was very little blood here, as if a person had been lying there. “This person is quite fat.” Katum gestured at the outline on the ground and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Professor Pig Face should have been killed once." Bruce understood what Katoom meant. The existence of the Adventers is very special. They can only be destroyed by another Adventer and then return to their original world. If the one who did it was not an Adventer, he would not die anyway. This should be the situation that Professor Pigface encountered. He was killed once, or multiple times, but he kept resurrecting. "Who did it?" Bruce looked around and the answer was actually self-evident. It's Zombie Bruce and Zombie Owl who have come to life. In the middle of the laboratory, the workbench originally used to make the body remained there. Bruce walked closer and saw a line of words engraved on it. "who am I?" The engraving marks are not deep, but the writing is extremely messy, which reveals the complicated mind of the engraver at the time. “It looks like it was carved with fingernails.” Katum flew over, saw the handwriting, and made a judgment. "An alien who gained life, fell into an identity crisis, kept killing, hoping to find himself. Why does this development seem so cliché?" Owl frowned, "If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid this guy will come looking for us again." God have pity on me, I didn’t do anything. "What do we do now?" Diana found it difficult to understand the current situation. What she was concerned about was whether they could still send Professor Pig-face away. "Don't be afraid!" Katum pulled out a diary from the feathers, "I have been prepared for this situation." This diary was once the carrier of the personalities of Voldemort and Homelander. Katum retained the connection between the two as a backup in case of emergency. I didn’t expect that I would actually use it now. He opened the diary, and the pages were all blank. Katum gritted his teeth and plucked a feather, which turned into a feather pen, and wrote a line in the diary.
"I'm Bruce Wayne." Bruce: ? "Why don't you write your own name?" Bruce asked, "How many times have you used my identity?" "You still have the nerve to be angry?" Katum curled his lips and said, "Have you never pretended to be me?" "Those are two different things." Bruce shook his head and decided to give Katum a break. As Katoom left his handwriting in the diary, a line of text emerged. "Help, help..." Looking at this notebook, it looks like Voldemort at the age of sixteen. "It seems that our dear Tom is in great trouble now." His personality was implanted into the brain of zombie Bruce, and with the intervention of the power of the Wall of Origin, this guy was at a loss. "The fact that something like this could happen shows that there is a stronger personality that is devouring his existence." Katoom had no sympathy for Voldemort. He was originally an incomplete personality in a Horcrux, so it was no pity for him to be devoured. But he is Owl's property after all, so even if he dies, his death must be meaningful. "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!" Katum painted a rosy picture for Voldemort, writing, "Where are you? I'll come right over!" "I have no idea……" Voldemort's handwriting became increasingly shaky, and it became difficult to maintain normal communication. "He wants to leave..." Voldemort said with difficulty, "He wants to leave this world, and he is almost there!" Leave the world? Bruce's first thought was how is it possible. Even if Zombie Bruce's power comes from the Wall of Origin, he can't cross it so easily, and the owl beside him is not Katum. But on second thought, he realized that he was overthinking. Traveling through the world does not necessarily mean traveling through the universe, it may just mean traveling through the world within DC. Bruce can do this himself now. "Do you know what he wants to do?"
Katum continued to ask on the paper, "Do you want to find helpers or do you want to find strength?" "I don't know..." This time, Voldemort didn't even finish writing a single line before he disappeared completely. Katum asked several more questions, but received no answer. Switching to the motherland, the situation is the same. "Bruce!" At this moment, a faint yellow light suddenly emerged from Diana's body, which was the manifestation of the mysterious yellow crystal's wish-making power. "All the Adventers have left!" Diana said, "I can feel that the world is now normal!" Her face was filled with joy; the mistake she had made before was finally corrected. But Bruce's expression was particularly heavy. Diana's behavior could only mean one thing: Professor Pigface had left this world. This means that zombie Bruce has also left. This is also the reason why Voldemort and Homelander cannot be contacted. "Even death without mercy and iron fist will not bring peace." Bruce sighed softly, "If that monster is still allowed to roam the DC universe, who knows what the consequences will be." "Don't worry about this for now." Katoum said suddenly, he picked up the diary and spread it out in front of Diana and Bruce. “See this thing?” The owl stretched out its wing and pointed, revealing a square piece of paper in the middle of the diary page. It was obvious that the piece of paper was torn from other pages of the diary. "What is this?" Bruce asked. "This is the countdown for Voldemort's soul!" Katoom said, “After all, this diary is a Horcrux, used to store fragments of the soul, and the two are inseparable. "I used magic to materialize Voldemort's soul. As long as that personality is not completely erased, this piece of paper will always exist." Katoom picked up the paper and placed it on his wing. Bruce watched as the piece of paper seemed to have a life of its own, moving without wind, but in a strange state, circling aimlessly. "Because Voldemort is not in this world now, this piece of paper cannot lock its location." Katoom said.
The inspiration for making this piece of paper comes from the life card in One Piece. It is actually very simple to do, as long as you can establish a connection with the owner's soul. Katum made one for himself and one for Bruce, but they were not used for the time being, so they were not taken out. The Life Card will always appear to be moving closer to its owner. It shrinks when its owner is weak, and returns to its original size when its owner recovers. If the life card slowly turns into ashes, it means that the owner is not far from death. "Look, Voldemort's life card is still healthy." Catum held the small piece of paper and said, "So just now Voldemort acted as if he was a dying candle in the wind, but in fact he was still far from death." "So what you're saying is that zombie Bruce doesn't really have self-awareness yet?" "correct." Katoom said, "When Voldemort's personality was gone, that's when he truly took control of his body." At least not now. "Take advantage of his illness to kill him!" Katum said, "Now is the best time. Even if he stole some power from the Wall of Origin, he can't use it now!" As soon as these words came out, Bruce knew what Katum meant. It's time to leave this world. "Then let's..." "Wait a moment!" Suddenly, Diana, who had been listening nearby, interrupted them. She certainly didn't have much life experience, but that didn't mean she couldn't understand the current situation. "Are you leaving?" she asked Bruce. "Just leaving for a while, I need to take care of some things." Bruce stretched out his hand as if nothing had happened, and the ring made of uru alloy flashed in his hand. "I'll be back when I'm done with this." Hearing Bruce admit this, Diana suddenly fell into a very strange state. If things had gone normally, she would only need to say one sentence. "Since you are leaving and the matter has been resolved, let's cancel the engagement." The engagement was originally a temporary solution, and there is no need to continue it now.
It is reasonable to cancel the engagement. But for some unknown reason, she didn't say this. "How long will you be gone?" Diana asked. "Can you come back within five years?" Bruce was stunned. Why say five years? "Or you're stupid." Katum said sarcastically, "You are thirteen years old now, and you will be an adult in five years." Bruce's age is actually a bit difficult to calculate now. He has traveled through many worlds and experienced time loops. Strictly speaking, he should be at least fourteen years old. But at the age of fourteen, there are still some things you can't do. "Five years at most!" Bruce nodded vigorously, "I will definitely come back within five years!" "it is good!" Diana nodded as well, looking at Bruce with an especially firm gaze. After all, she is not an indecisive little girl. She knows what is important and what is not, and some things cannot be delayed. "It's a shame you have to leave now." Diana said, "If only we could stay one night." "This is——" Bruce's eyes lit up and he immediately rolled up his sleeves, wanting to indicate that it was okay to stay one night. "Forget it!" Katum suddenly opened the Tunnel of Heavens and kicked Bruce in. "Children's task is to study hard. As for adult matters, we'll talk about them when you grow up!" Then he turned to look at Diana. "Don't worry Diana, in the other world, I will help you keep an eye on the little bat!" After all, we are good brothers who have been in jail together, so it’s no big deal for him to do such a small thing. "correct!" Katoom rummaged through the feathers and pulled out a stuffed owl. "I'll leave Katum III with you, so that you won't be too lonely in this world!" After saying that, he threw the owl doll to Diana without caring whether she agreed or not. With Katoom III around, Katoom can actually communicate with Diana across the heavens.
This is the ability he learned from the witch Muen. But it is possible. As to whether it will happen, Katum has not yet decided. "In the future, I will become Katum IV and give it to Alfred." This way Bruce wouldn't have to write letters that were doomed to go unanswered. After saying this, Katum turned around and entered the Tunnel of Heavens. Diana was left alone, standing there. She still exuded the light of mysterious yellow crystal, and the arrangements made by the God of War were still affecting her. "Goddess Diana, I make a wish to you." Diana held the owl doll in her hands and whispered to herself, "I hope Bruce will be safe and complete his journey goals successfully." She made a wish to herself, but it was not answered. But this blessing to Bruce came from the heart. She stared at the Tunnel of the Heavens silently and waited for a moment, then she suddenly realized a problem. "its not right?" Diana suddenly thought to herself, "Why don't I go with him?" In front of her, the Tunnel of Heavens had not yet been truly closed. Amazon women dare to love and hate. These words suddenly rang in her mind. Want to do it? Diana gritted her teeth, suddenly made up her mind, and rushed towards the Tunnel of the Heavens. (End of this chapter)
