Chapter 197 The King's Treasure House

A glass of water is placed on the table, bubbles slowly rising.

Putting down his helmet without mercy, he picked up the sparkling water and drank it in one gulp.

"I was fooled."

He put down the cup and said to himself.

Just now, he felt the pulse of the Speed ​​Force again. In today's world, the only speedster is Bruce Wayne.

There is no doubt that Bruce has returned to this world, or that he has never left this world!

"Sure enough, you are worthy of being Bruce. When facing an invincible enemy, you will always come back."

But so what?

No matter how hard Bruce struggled, he could not defeat himself.

The Iron Fist has the power of the God of War, but that's not all!

In front of Wu Ming Iron Fist, a layer of golden ripples suddenly appeared in the space, and then more ripples appeared, and the entrance to a pocket space appeared in front of Wu Ming Iron Fist.

He took heavy steps, and there was a sound of collision between the armors, and he entered the pocket space with his iron fist.

In the space is a huge armory.

Countless mythical weapons are displayed among them, waiting for their ruthless iron fist to be used.

Moreover, there are countless illusory souls locked in this sacred armory.

Their expressions are numb and they have no reaction to changes in the outside world.

This is the truly terrifying power of the Iron Fist.

After he put on the helmet of the God of War and had all the power of Ares, the God of War, he mercilessly slaughtered the other gods in his world.

From then on, he occupied the realm of the gods, possessed the weapons of the gods, and even enslaved the souls of the gods.

This is how this sacred armory was built!

Under such overwhelming power, Wu Ming Iron Fist could not think of any possibility of his own failure.

"Bruce, just struggle slowly."

Wu Ming Iron Fist said softly, "I hope you can come to me soon. When I execute Diana or Owl, it will be boring if you are not there."

He took another look at the mythical weapons in his arsenal.

The lock of heaven that captured the "Bull of Heaven", the eternal sword of the angel, the magic sword from the Nibelungs, the scythe of destiny that cut off Medusa's head...

There are many, many more such weapons.

Even if Bruce possesses Thor's hammer, how far can he fight against it?

The final result is just to give Wu Ming Iron Fist one more piece to collect.

"It just so happens that there is a Thor's Hammer missing from my arsenal."

Wu Ming Iron Fist thought, let Bruce fill in for him!

…

Bruce was running in the Speed ​​Force, and red lightning circled the earth, round and round.

When the speed increases to this level, what follows is the distortion of time and the folding of space.

Bruce has no idea of ​​traveling through time. The painful lessons of the past have taught him that he will never play with the timeline again.

This time I ran to enter another space.

That is Olympus!

Bruce's body began to vibrate at a high frequency at this time, and the restrictions of the Olympus Domain had no effect on him.

In just a blink of an eye, he came to the residence of Vulcan again, the ever-exploding volcano in Olympus.

At this time, Vulcan had just finished knocking out a weapon and was sitting down to rest.

He was holding a wooden cup that was larger than a bucket. The liquid in the cup looked like boiling and rolling magma.

When he saw Bruce, he was stunned for a moment.

"Why are you here again?"

He said, "Where's Diana? Why didn't she come with you?"

"It's a long story."

Bruce didn't hesitate and told everything about what happened before.

Vulcan's expression became more and more serious as he listened, especially when he heard that Wu Merci had the power of the God of War and slaughtered the Olympus gods in another world, he could no longer sit still.

Bang--

He threw the cup in his hand to the ground, and the liquid inside splashed on the ground, making a sizzling sound.

"No matter which universe it is, Ares is always causing trouble!"

Vulcan always has the biggest opinion against Ares, because his wife Aphrodite once had a past with Ares that he couldn't let go of.

Bruce did not advise Vulcan to be strong. He had no intention of commenting on other people's family affairs, not even his uncle's.

"The most difficult thing now is not the power of the God of War with an iron fist."

Bruce said, "It's the dead souls he enslaved, and the countless mythical weapons."

Those mythical weapons were collected together to form a huge king's treasure house.

Bruce felt troubled when he thought of this.

As the owner of Thor's hammer, he knows better than anyone else what kind of qualitative changes a god's weapon can cause.

And there are countless such weapons in Wu Ming Iron Fist.

Vulcan also realized the seriousness of the problem, with a troubled look on his face.

"Bruce, sooner or later we are a family, so I won't hide it from you."

He pointed in the direction of his collection room, "If that ruthless iron fist really killed the entire universe as you said, then even if you empty my collection room, you still can't fight against his treasure house."

Since Wu Merci has killed so many gods with his iron fist, the trophies he possesses must be the most valuable weapons in the hands of the gods.

Although Hephaestus' artifact collection room has a wide range of categories, the overall quality is not up to this level.

"It mainly depends on the materials and the divine power contained in them."

Vulcan said, "The weapons I create either only have my power, or they are simply empty shells, waiting for their future owners to cultivate them.

"These are equivalent to the embryos of divine weapons, while the ones in Wu Ming's Iron Fist hands are all finished products, so they are still incomparable.

"Of course I can also build the most powerful weapon for you, but that will take at least a hundred years, and you shouldn't be able to wait."

Bruce understood this. He thought about it and put forward his own opinion.

"Then can we create a weapon that can restrain other mythical weapons?"

Bruce formed his hands into a circle and gestured to the Vulcan, "For example, make a bracelet or something that can take away all the weapons of the Unmerciful Iron Fist?"

"There is no such thing, I have never heard of it!"

Vulcan shook his head crazily, "Even if there is such a weapon, it won't be available in a short while."

But this is a good idea, Kagami thought, he can try it in the future.

After hearing clearly that Vulcan said it was impossible, Bruce was not discouraged. What he really wanted to get from Vulcan was news about something else.

"Brother Vulcan, I want to ask you something."

Bruce said, "Have you ever heard of a material called Metal X?"

X metal is the tenth metal in Katum’s mouth.

In fact, the top ten metals in the universe are not ranked in order of strength.

The combined extraordinary level of the first nine metals may not be even one-tenth of that of X metal.

Because that's the metal the Forgers of the Universe used to create the universe.

It is full of the purest possibility. It can arm others at will according to the user's changing mind, and it can also awaken people who are sinking in darkness.

If the tenth metal can be found, there will be no doubt about defeating Wu Ming Iron Fist.

After hearing Bruce's question, Vulcan was silent for a moment.

After a long time, he slowly said: "You really dare to think about it, you also dare to make up your mind about this thing."

"What's wrong?"

Bruce asked, "Is this an untouchable topic?"

"You'd better give up this idea!"

Vulcan shook his head and said, "I have never seen anything like X metal in my life, and you can't find it on earth."

As he finished speaking, Katum's voice suddenly sounded in Bruce's heart.

"nonsense!"

Owl retorted directly, "Vulcan has definitely seen the Tenth Metal, and it's on Earth!"

"real?"

Bruce asked in confusion, "But Vulcan has no reason to lie to me!"

The Merciless Iron Fist Group had destroyed the gods of Olympus. Faced with such a terrifying enemy, coupled with Diana's safety, it was impossible for Vulcan to hide anything from Bruce.

"Vulcan really didn't lie to you, because he didn't even realize that he had seen the Tenth Metal."

Katum's voice paused for a moment, and then said, "Ask Vulcan if you have ever seen something called a mother box."

Mother box, Bruce had heard of this term.

That was when he was still on Paradise Island. Bruce asked Owl if there were any powerful weapons on the island, and Katum mentioned this.

He didn't say much after that, he just advised Bruce that it was a completely uncontrollable force and it was best not to have any ideas.

Could it be that the mother box is made of the tenth metal?

Bruce immediately asked Vulcan about the Mother Box, and Vulcan's expression froze instantly.

yes……

He suddenly thought of the war that took place countless years ago. Countless races on the earth united together, and there were even reinforcements from the universe, to fight together against a terrible enemy.

"What's that guy's name?"

Vulcan tried to remember, "Daside? Seked? Or..."

"Darkseid," Bruce said.

"Yes, yes! Darkseid!"

Vulcan suddenly remembered, "That guy is really scary. I heard that he was still a child at that time, but he almost destroyed the earth!"

Both Zeus and Ares participated in that war personally, but Vulcan did not. He was a logistician and was responsible for forging weapons.

However, Vulcan had seen the spoils obtained after the war with his own eyes.

Three mother boxes.

"I just heard you say that those mother boxes are indeed a bit strange."

Vulcan said seriously, "I can't recognize their material, and based on the abilities they show, it's really possible that they are forged from the tenth metal!"

Even the old gods were amazed by the Mother Box's ability.

It can reorganize matter at will according to the needs of the user. This is almost a power that only a creator god can possess.

Vulcan has always wanted to understand what the mother box is made of, so that it has such magical abilities.

It's a pity that Zeus didn't give him this chance. After defeating Darkseid, the three mother boxes were separated and sealed.

Now if the Mother Boxes were forged from the Tenth Metal, then it all makes sense.

Bruce finally saw hope. Now that he has found the Tenth Metal, what are he waiting for?

Wouldn't it be enough to use it directly against Wu Ming's Iron Fist?

Batboy didn't realize how terrible his idea was. Fortunately, Katum kept listening to their conversation. If Bruce behaved slightly wrong, he immediately stopped him.

"Wait!"

Katum hurriedly said, "Are you thinking about using the Mother Box to deal with the Iron Fist?"

"Is there any problem?" Bruce asked naturally, "Isn't this a normal thought?"

normal?

Katum almost cursed.

"Bruce, I recommend a book to you."

Katum sighed and said, "It's an Eastern classical novel called The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Go read it and you'll find a soulmate in it."

In order to deal with Wu Ming's iron fist, we need to use the mother box?

What a joke!

When the Mother Box is used, it will send a signal to the universe, and this signal will attract Steppenwolf.

If Steppenwolf comes to Earth, he will discover the anti-life equation hidden on Earth. Then there is no doubt that Darkseid's army will descend on Earth.

In order to defeat the Iron Fist, he did not hesitate to attract Darkseid?

What is the difference between this and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in which Dong Zhuo was sent to Beijing in order to deal with the ten permanent servants?

But if you think about it carefully, this kind of thing is indeed something Batman can do.

Katum did not sell out and explained the stakes clearly to Bruce.

But obviously, this has no effect.

"I'm not trying to use a mother box."

Batboy said, "I'm going to destroy the Mother Box and only use its materials."

"Then you might as well just use the mother box."

Katum sighed, "Destroy the Mother Box. Do you know that the energy that explodes in that moment can destroy the entire solar system?"

this--

Bruce believed that Katum was not an alarmist and that such a terrible scene would really happen.

But if this continues, won't he have no choice but to give up the Mother Box?

Bruce felt a little reluctant.

There must be another way to use the Mother Box without being discovered by Steppenwolf——

etc!

Bruce's smart little head suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

Since using the Mother Box on Earth will attract Steppenwolf, does it matter if he doesn't use it on Earth?

Not even used in the DCEU universe!

He had done the same thing as Katum before, using the time turner in the tunnel of the heavens to reverse the time of the entire universe.

Now, it's just another try.

"Katum is not around, so I can't open the passage to the heavens, but that doesn't matter."

You can travel through space with the Speed ​​Force alone!

I just can’t leave the DC multiverse!

Bruce can definitely find a destroyed universe, such as Iron Fist's hometown, and use the Mother Box there...

Having said this, Batboy's train of thought suddenly stopped.

His mood suddenly entered an extremely complicated state, both exciting and heavy.

The Mother Box can restore something that has been destroyed to its original state.

So can it repair the destroyed universe?

Even if you can't repair the entire universe, it shouldn't be a problem to resurrect one or two people, right?

For example, the ruthless and iron-fisted lover, Diana from the dark universe...

"Katum."

Bruce hooted an owl and spoke his thoughts.

"Do you think this will work?"

Batboy doesn't know if resurrecting Diana is a good idea. Even though she has a kind heart, she was born in a dark universe after all.

Even if he is resurrected, he will only continue to experience endless pain.

Is it really okay to disturb her sleep?

"I can't answer that for you either."

After all, Katum is not a multiverse-level powerhouse, and it is impossible to see through the future involving the universe.

"I can only say that your idea is very creative, but if you want to implement it, you have to be mentally prepared."

Be prepared to take on this karma.

Bruce thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"I want to do it! Now!"

He said, "He took my Diana as a hostage without mercy, and I will also take his Diana as a hostage!"

This is called fairness!

Katum finally sighed and decided to support Bruce's idea.

"Then do it!" said the owl, "be careful and don't get caught by Barbatos."

Although the ruthless dark universe is Barbatos' territory, it has been destroyed after all.

Barbatos wouldn't pay much attention to a world in ruins.

and--

This guy still thinks that the Bruce people are eagerly waiting for the good news about Savitar in the Harry Potter world.

Relying on the Speed ​​Force, Bruce enters and exits the dark universe in just an instant.

Barbatos's attention may be minimal.

Now that the solution has been decided, all that's left is to get the mother box.

There are three Mother Boxes, kept separately by Atlanteans, Amazons, and humans.

Bruce defeated the Sea Queen and was engaged to Diana. Plus he was a human being. Logically speaking, it wouldn't be difficult for him to get any Mother Box he wanted.

"Let's take the human one."

Katum said, "Both Atlantis and Paradise Island have vowed to protect the Mother Box with their lives. If you want to take it by force, you will inevitably see some blood."

Especially Amazon.

The Queen of the Amazons was still hesitant about whether she recognized her son-in-law, so Bruce rushed over anxiously, fearing that he would be severely humiliated by the Amazon women.

The human mother box is different.

Unlike Atlantis and Amazon, which built a tower to house the Mother Box, humans directly dug a hole and buried the Mother Box.

It happened that Katum also knew the location where the mother box was buried.

"In Italy."

Katum said, "The place where humans buried the Mother Box is now a monastery in Italy."

At the end of World War II, it would be dug up by the Germans, intercepted by the Allies, and sent to the United States in 1944.

Now Bruce can just take it out for use in advance and return it later.

"You want to give it back?"

After hearing what Katum said, Bruce suddenly asked, "Are you really Katum? You're not pretending to be someone, right?"

In the style of an owl, there is no reason to give back anything that comes into his hands.

"That's right, I'm pretending to be someone else."

Katum sneered and said, "My real name is Thomas Wayne."

"Just wait for me!"

Bruce no longer doubted that only Katum could say such an animal-like speech.

"I asked you to return the Mother Box because it is very important to this universe."

Katum decided to explain.

Without the Mother Box, there would be no Cyborg in this universe, and there would be no way for Superman to be resurrected.

The Justice League would no longer exist.

"I still want to watch "Justice League 2"." Katum said, "Warner won't make it, so I'll go back in time and watch it myself!"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Although Bruce said this, he still accepted Katum's explanation.

Forget being engaged to Diana, it's not a big deal.

But if two superheroes are eliminated directly, and one of them is Superman, this will have a huge impact on the universe.

The DCEU universe may not be restarted directly!

…

After everything was settled, Bruce said goodbye to the Vulcan.

"I decided to try the mother box."

He said to Vulcan, "If it is really forged from the Tenth Metal, it will definitely help me defeat the Iron Fist."

"Can you find it?"

Vulcan asked with concern, "I heard that the mother boxes are hidden in very secret places and are guarded by very powerful forces."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Bruce did not reveal much, but said, "I am a wizard and believe in the magic of love. As long as I am determined enough to save Diana, a miracle will definitely happen."

"good!"

These words reached Vulcan's heart, and he gave a thumbs up, appreciating Bruce's intentions.

It seems that Diana has good taste and has found a reliable man.

Her eyesight is as good as her sister-in-law’s!

After saying goodbye, Bruce left Olympus.

Although he came and left empty-handed, his mood before and after was completely different.

A ruthless iron fist no longer represents despair!

…

A small town in Italy.

The sun shines through the narrow stone streets, lined with ancient buildings that have withstood centuries of wind and rain.

Bruce appeared on the streets of this small town, and the sound of carriage bells could be heard in the distance. The storm of war had not yet approached, and everything seemed calm.

In the center of this town stands an ancient monastery.

The outer walls of the monastery are made of dark gray stones, and the towering spiers point straight to the sky, like eternal devout believers.

Having met various gods, Bruce maintained respect for religion even though he was not religious.

Who knows one day God will suddenly jump out.

He concealed his figure and walked into the monastery. The first thing he saw was an open courtyard with an ancient well in the center.

According to Katum, the Mother Box is buried beneath this monastery.

It was buried, not preserved, so even the clergy of the monastery did not know the existence of the Mother Box.

"It's a pity that Katum was arrested and I can't use his private money. Otherwise, I would have bought the monastery directly."

The area of ​​the monastery is so large that we don’t know where the mother box is buried.

Bruce stretched out his hand and shouted softly: "The mother box is coming!"

No response.

Bruce shook his head. Sure enough, he was overthinking.

How can it be so simple? You still have to be down-to-earth.

Of course, Bruce could also search blindly. He was a wizard after all, and he could save a lot of time by using some means of divination to find objects.

Then, just as he was about to start, a strange voice suddenly came from the distance.

Someone is singing a nursery rhyme.

"Solomon Grandi, born on Monday, baptized on Tuesday..."

boom--

A huge figure suddenly landed in front of Bruce, stirring up bursts of dust.

"Ha ha!"

The huge figure said, "I thought I could find enemies here, and it turned out to be true!"
