Batman's Owl Godfather - Chapter 304
etc.
Bruce felt there was something wrong with Katum’s words.
With this guy’s courage, a group of monsters can scare him?
Obviously impossible.
What he saw in the fog was definitely not just a few monsters, but maybe something more troublesome.
Moreover, the expression Bruce observed on Katum’s face at this time revealed a hint of… faint expectation.
Well, maybe this guy dug another hole for himself.
Bruce didn’t expose this. No matter what Gotham became now, he would always go in.
“Let’s go.”
After saying this, Bruce dragged the owl and walked into the churning city of fog.
…
“According to what Martian Manhunter said, the most critical thing now is to find the nodes of the giant psychic network.”
Bruce walked in the fog, thinking about the information he had received earlier.
Since he is a special being among Martians, even if he loses his mind, he should be different from other Martians and can be judged at a glance.
“Katum, when you were wandering around Gotham before, did you see any strange Martians?”
Bruce chooses to get information from Katum.
The owl is very active on this issue.
“City Hall!”
He said, “Go to the city hall, I guarantee you will get a surprise!”
surprise?
Just don’t be frightened.
The suggestion to go to the city hall was very reasonable. Bruce thought that if he were a Martian and wanted to invade Gotham, he would definitely start with the government departments.
For example, if you replace the mayor first, it will be much easier to perform other tasks later.
but–
Bruce thought to himself, I wonder who the mayor of Gotham is in this world, is it still Don Mitchell?
That scumbag who is in cahoots with the Falcone family.
“Okay, let’s go to the city hall and have a look.”
…
A dark night shrouded Gotham City, and the city hall looked extremely strange under the fog.
Bruce sneaked into the city hall quietly like a silent shadow.
His black cloak fluttered gently in the dim light, and his bat boots made no sound when he stepped on the ground.
“It’s so quiet.”
Bruce looked around and saw nothing that could be related to surprise.
Not only are there none, there are not even zombie-like Martians to be seen.
“Katum, are you sure you’re not mistaken…”
Bruce talked to Katum telepathically.
But before he finished speaking, as he approached the huge statue in the center of the hall, a slight movement aroused his alertness.
It was a strange sound, like the sound of some kind of bird flapping its wings, mixed with a weird mechanical sound.
Suddenly, a figure slowly descended from the dome of the hall.
“Quack quack…”
The man descended from the shadows, his short and deformed body wearing a funny yet weird black and white dress, with a circle of white fluff around the collar, and his iconic black umbrella swaying gently in his hand.
This is!
Bruce immediately knew who this guy was. According to Katum, he was one of Batman’s opponents.
Penguin!
“Are you surprised?”
Katum laughed and said, “The current mayor of Gotham City is the Penguin!”
Cobot the Penguin sits on a throne-like thing transformed from a mechanical device, surrounded by a group of well-trained penguins.
The penguins’ eyes were shining with strange light, and they were equipped with some small attack weapons.
The Penguin’s face looked particularly ferocious in the dim light. The skin on his face had begun to fester. His long and pointed nose was like a beak, and there was a smug sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth.
He slowly landed on the ground, and the penguins spread out in an orderly manner, surrounding Bruce in the middle.
“Quack quack…”
The Penguin let out his trademark weird laugh, which echoed in the empty city hall with a kind of creepy banter.
“Batman, you’re back!”
The Penguin stared at Bruce in the Batsuit, with a trace of desire and wantonness in his eyes.
“Good bat, during your absence, I have been thinking of you every day…”
Bruce looked at Penguin and suddenly felt helpless.
This is not Penguin.
Indeed not.
This is just a Penguin transformed by a Martian. His ulcerated skin is exactly the same as the Martian he has seen before.
But his personality at this time is clearly that of the Penguin.
Bruce understood.
After Batwoman released the chemical gas, the Martians’ sanity collapsed, their self-perception became skewed, and they began to think that they were really the people they pretended to be.
The Penguin in front of me is proof.
“Katum, is this the surprise you want me to see?” Bruce said through telepathy.
“Almost.”
Katum said, “I saw several Martians like this in Gotham. You can guess who they all turned into.”
Bruce didn’t bother to guess.
Anyway, we will encounter it later.
The top priority now is to get rid of the Penguin in front of him first.
In other words, a Martian who becomes a Penguin!
…
“Batman, you finally stopped me, didn’t you?”
The Penguin tilted his head and stared at Bruce with his cunning little eyes, which flashed with fanaticism.
He missed this feeling so much.
Since Batman disappeared, Batwoman has been completely insignificant and no one can stop the Penguin’s evil plan.
He easily became the mayor, took control of the entire Gotham, became one of the city’s top figures, and accomplished his long-awaited goal.
However, the joy he imagined did not come, and all Penguin felt was an inexplicable emptiness.
There is no sense of achievement at all.
And now, seeing Batman again, Penguin’s long-quiet heart finally started beating violently again.
ah–
He got it!
The reason why he feels empty is because he has not truly succeeded yet.
Batman never really wins until he defeats him!
“Quack quack——”
Penguin laughed wildly, “Batman, in that case, give it a try and see what you can still stop now!”
Bruce stood still, his muscles tense.
He has no time to play house games with the Martians. His only goal now is to completely eliminate them!
Penguin laughed wildly: “Tonight, this is your burial place, Batman!”
After that, he suddenly opened his umbrella, a cold light flashed, and a hidden weapon was shot towards Bruce.
Bruce turned sideways easily, and the hidden weapon flew past his cloak, hitting the stone pillar behind him and causing a splash of sparks.
“You’re still so agile, Batman!”
The Penguin sneered. He waved his hand, and the penguins around him rushed towards Bruce at the same time as if they had received the order.
They opened their mouths, revealing their sharp beaks, and their wings flapped rapidly.
Bruce didn’t panic, flicked his wrist, and the batarangs flew accurately towards the penguins.
Several penguins were hit and fell to the ground screaming in pain, but the remaining penguins still rushed towards Bruce desperately.
“This is the smell! This is the feeling!”
The Penguin yelled like crazy. It was obvious that he was the one who was deflated now, but he was not depressed at all.
Not only that, but judging from his expression, he was extremely high.
Bruce saw the right moment, jumped up, crossed the penguin group, and rushed towards the penguin.
Seeing this, the Penguin quickly turned the umbrella in his hand, and a black smoke suddenly spurted out from the top of the umbrella.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Bruce rushed into the smoke, only to find that the smoke had a pungent smell and obstructed his vision.
Just when Bruce was briefly disoriented, the Penguin stretched out his umbrella from the smoke and stabbed Bruce in the abdomen.
Bruce tightened his abdomen and bent over, and at the same time punched the handle of the umbrella.
The punch was so powerful that the Penguin and his umbrella were knocked away together.
“Okay, okay!”
Penguin rolled on the ground, trembling with excitement, “That’s it!”
Are you sick?
Bruce really couldn’t understand what the Penguin had gone through to become like this.
What kind of games does Batman in this world play with those villains?
“Batman, it’s been so long and you’re still the same as before, nothing has changed.”
Penguin got up from the ground.
Panting heavily, he took out a small box from his arms, pressed the button lightly, and a sharp chirping sound instantly sounded in the city hall.
I saw countless bats flying in from all directions.
The Penguin had already prepared. This small box was a device he used to attract bats. He wanted to use Batman’s special emotions towards bats to disturb his mind.
In addition, the bats in the sky are also equivalent to a welcome ceremony for Batman’s return.
Bruce looked at the chaotic group of bats around him. Although his heart fluctuated a little, he quickly calmed down.
“These guys are really interesting…”
Bruce snapped his fingers, and countless tiny red sparks flew out, hitting the bat and disrupting the effects of the special sound waves.
The bats were no longer controlled by the Penguin and began to slowly fly towards the top of the hall.
“Your little trick isn’t working, Penguin.”
Bruce said, approaching the Penguin step by step.
When he said this, he thought that he was really sick. He could just burn the other person to death, but in the end he still had to waste time with him to complete the trick.
Penguin saw that the situation was not good and began to retreat.
As he backed away, he took out a new weapon from under the Mechanical Throne behind him – an umbrella with spikes and electrical devices.
“Bruce, come and try this!”
He said as he rushed towards Bruce again, preparing for a final fight to the death.
Bruce shook his head and allowed the arc to hit him without suffering any harm.
“Is it over here?” He looked at Penguin and asked softly.
If you can’t come up with any other tricks, you have to do it yourself.
“Gah…gah…”
The Penguin was breathing heavily, and his breaths were sharp and unpleasant, like the screams of birds.
“How could it end here…”
He murmured, “You and I will continue to be entangled and it will never end…”
As he spoke, Penguin underwent a surprising change.
His body began to twist and deform, and his already weird appearance became even more terrifying.
His skin became rough, his fingers turned into sharp claws, and his eyes shone with a strange light.
“I am Penguin…I am Penguin…”
The Penguin kept saying this, as if trying to maintain his self-awareness.
However, such attempts have begun to fail.
The Penguin’s body continued to expand, his clothes were torn, and his head changed. His mouth became huge, revealing sharp teeth, as if he could easily tear his prey apart.
Finally, the transformation was over.
The Penguin no longer existed in this world, replaced by a festering Martian.
It roared, the sound was deafening, like a demon from hell, and a pungent smell emanated from its body, making people sick.
Bruce couldn’t help feeling a little sad when facing the Penguin who had turned into a monster.
The Penguin’s last words were still echoing in his ears.
“I will continue to entangle with you, and it will never end…”
“What a pity.”
Bruce said softly, “I am not the Batman you are waiting for. He will never come back.”
“Roar–“
‘Penguin’ waved his huge claws and pounced on Bruce.
Bruce quickly dodged sideways, and the huge claws of the “Penguin” scratched the wall, leaving a deep mark.
Bruce distanced himself as the gravel flew, his eyes fixed on this old enemy who had become a monster.
The “Penguin” roared and rushed over again, and every step made the ground tremble slightly.
“You will never get rid of me. No matter who you are, as long as you wear that clothes, you are my enemy.”
The “Penguin” spoke human words, but the sound was as harsh as sandpaper.
Bruce did not respond, and his eyes became more determined.
He took a deep breath, and all his strength accumulated in his fists, and the red lightning hummed.
Although he was not Bruce in this world, he was more or less Batman.
Using Batman’s fist to bury the “Penguin”, he should be able to rest in peace.
Although the real Penguin died the moment he was replaced by the Martian.
But Bruce no longer cared about these.
Just as the monster rushed towards him, Bruce’s fist had already been swung out.
The Penguin wanted to dodge, but its huge body seemed a little clumsy at the moment.
Bruce’s fist hit it easily, and a burst of red light burst out, accompanied by the painful howl of the Penguin.
The monster’s body began to tremble, and the red light gradually wrapped it up.
Soon, only a pile of rotten meat was left.
Bruce stood there tiredly, looking at the mess in front of him, with an indescribable emotion in his heart.
“Katum.”
He suddenly said, “How many Martians like this are there in Gotham?”
“There are about a dozen.” Katum said, “They are all familiar faces to Batman, and their current thoughts are similar to those of the Penguin…”
They are all waiting for Batman to return.
“Well.”
Bruce turned and slowly walked out of the city hall, “Then let them know that Batman is here to see them off for the last time.”
