Batman's Owl Godfather

When Bruce and Starlight arrived at the command hall, Xuanse's body was lying there quietly.

His armor was full of cracks, and there was a piercing wound on his chest, which was the cause of his death.

Homelander looked livid, looking at Xuanse's body silently.

The nature of this murder was completely different from the death of the invisible man last time.

Homelander regarded Xuanse as a friend.

A friend who would not betray, deceive, or deny.

"This is a provocation to me."

Homelander's voice was emotionless, "Everyone knows that Xuanse is my shadow."

Then, he turned his head and looked at the seven people around him——

"What are the results of your investigation during this period?"

No answer.

Everyone seemed to be working hard, but there was no actual progress.

They used to do this, but this time it was different.

Others had already provoked him to the face.

Along with Xuanse's body, a cardboard card was sent to the company.

There was a paragraph written on it.

"You will pay for what happened eight years ago! - Billy Butcher."

There was no need for investigation, the murderer directly reported his name.

"Without me, you can't do anything after all."

Homelander sneered, "I don't need you next time, this is my business now."

His tone revealed a creepy murderous intent.

Bruce suddenly raised his head when he heard this.

He felt that Homelander today was different from before.

Something that originally bound him had been opened.

The provocation from Butcher completely turned on a switch in Homelander.

"The one called Butcher is the butcher you mentioned, right?"

Bruce asked Katum, "You said he was just an ordinary person, but now he has the confidence to provoke Homelander."

Where does this confidence come from?

The only thing Bruce can think of is the N metal dagger.

He has a hunch that after seeing Xuanse's death, Homelander has reached the edge of losing control.

If someone adds fuel to the flames at this time, terrible things will really happen.

…

Ding-ling-ling——

Homelander came to Martha's bar again, and this time, his mood was completely different.

This situation was just like Superman in "Man of Steel". Before showing his existence to the world, he also explained his confusion to the priest.

Homelander, it's time to show the world his true existence.

"What's wrong?"

Martha was very observant and found that something was wrong with Homelander now.

Or, this was the development that Martha expected, but it was a little earlier than she thought.

"Martha, I'm confused now."

Homelander sat at the bar, lowered his head, like a wronged child.

"Can I help you?" Martha's voice was very gentle.

Homelander looked up and saw Martha looking down at him with a concerned expression on her face.

"I'm sorry, Martha, I don't know what to say."

He apologized first, not wanting Martha to think that he was just someone who would cause her trouble.

"I just... want to talk to someone, I think."

"If you're willing, I'd be happy to sit with you for a while."

The first time Martha walked out of the bar and sat next to the motherland, her tolerant attitude made the motherland feel a little sour.

"What are you thinking about?"

Martha said softly, "I can feel that you are feeling very wronged now."

Yes, wronged.

The motherland thought, as expected, only Martha cared about him the most, and saw the weakness in his heart at a glance.

As usual, Martha mixed a glass of wine for the motherland, and the motherland drank it all.

"Everyone is targeting me."

In a state of intoxication, the motherland began to speak his mind, "I have always been a good person, but others always force me. They killed my friends and provoked me in front of me."

Endless grievances emerged in the motherland.

Hasn't he done well enough?

Apart from his shortcomings, the motherland is full of advantages!

He brought hope to people, cracked down on so many crimes, and always encouraged the world with a smile.

But such a perfect self, there are still people who are not satisfied with it.

Homelander thought of the message, saying that he would pay the price for what happened eight years ago.

This person didn't speak clearly. Homelander had done so many things, how could he think of what the phrase eight years ago meant.

"I can understand your pain, child."

Martha comforted him, "The world is like this, always letting honest people suffer."

"It shouldn't be like this, Martha, I think I was wrong before."

Homelander poured out all the years of depression in his heart, "Madeline asked me to do this before, and I really enjoyed it.

"But since I found out that Madeline was using me, I have become tired of this disguise.

"I don't want to pretend anymore, I want to show my true self.

"But I feel that once I show my true self, the applause and admiration I have now will completely leave me, and I... can't bear it.

"Martha, what should I do?"

Homelander finally revealed his current confusion.

In fact, it is also very simple, that is, after experiencing Madeline's betrayal, Homelander finally ushered in a rebellious period that was 20 years late.

He no longer wanted to follow the path Madeline had once wanted him to take.

But I still miss the status and reputation I have now.

Butcher Butcher's provocation was the straw that broke the camel's back.

The people of the motherland are facing a fork in the road of destiny. The decision he makes next will not only change him, but even affect the direction of the entire world.

At this critical moment, he decided to listen to Martha's advice.

And Martha was acutely aware of this.

She smiled slightly and put her hand on the head of her motherland.

This contact made the motherland man's whole body feel as if an electric current had hit him. His body felt numb and numb, and he was about to collapse.

"You're a good boy."

Martha's voice was gentler than ever before, "You are God's most perfect creation, and there is nothing bad about you."

The people of the motherland nodded.

Is this the case, or Martha understands herself.

"However, I must point out that you still have a shortcoming."

Martha changed the subject, "Your shortcoming is that you care too much about other people's feelings."

The body of the motherland was shaken.

Martha is right! That's what he is!

If he wanted to, he could easily kill everyone in the world.

But he didn't do this and restrained his power.

Isn’t this just thinking about the whole world?

But some people don't value their own kindness at all, and instead dare to target themselves!

"People in this world seem to have regarded your kindness as normal, and even dare to provoke you."

Martha followed the instructions and said slowly, "It's time to make some changes, people of the motherland, be brave and do it.

"Show your power to people all over the world and let them understand deeply——

"They have no choice but to love you!"

These words completely touched the hearts of the people of the motherland, and he almost completely agreed with them.

Just still have a little doubt.

He looked at Martha and said hesitantly: "Those who worship me..."

"As long as you are strong enough, no one will question you."

Martha smiled slightly, "Those who question you, just send them away!

“People of the motherland, go create a world that you agree with!

"You can never be wrong!"

The eyes of the people of the motherland are getting brighter and brighter, and Martha's guidance makes him enlightened.

Yes, he is a native of the motherland!

The choices he makes are always correct.

He can't be wrong!

Maybe some people don't agree with him, but when the vast majority of people in the world are afraid of him, how can he be wrong?

Won't!

Even if it is wrong, in the end it will only be the fault of the world, the fault of fools, and the fault of the weak!

All people, who do not want to die or suffer, must love him, be loyal to him, respect him, and worship him!

Because he is a native of the motherland!

"I understand!"

The people of the motherland suddenly stood up and looked up to the sky and roared.

At this moment, he had an epiphany!

From beginning to end, Martha watched the performance of her motherland with a smile.

"Thank you Martha, I finally know what to do!"

The motherland man lowered his head, looked at Martha and asked, "I have an unkind request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

"Speak, child," Martha said softly, "I will listen."

"Can I give you a hug?"

"no."

…

On this day, people all over the United States witnessed a scene they had never dared to imagine.

Bizarre things happen on all electronic screens.

The TVs that were playing different programs, the computers that were browsing different web pages, and the screens in the square that were playing different advertisements all suddenly flashed with electronic snowflakes.

This kind of extremely strong electromagnetic interference can only be achieved by the huge Watt Company, which has control over satellites and media.

Everyone looked at the nearest screen, confused.

Then, a familiar voice came from the speaker.

"I am issuing an urgent notice to the world."

The electronic snowflakes disappeared and a face that all Americans recognized appeared on the screen.

People of the motherland.

But unlike in the past, the people of the motherland at this time have a gloomy look on their faces, completely missing the sunshine and cheerfulness of the past.

"At this time, there was a thug named Billy Butcher who was running around the United States.

"He killed the transparent man, the black man, and many superheroes, partners of justice!

"Now, I issue an ultimatum to Butcher—"

On the streets, busy pedestrians, shoppers and commuters were stunned.

They stared blankly at the big screen on the skyscraper, the clear sky in stark contrast to the terrifying announcement.

The faces of the motherland appear in every corner of this country.

"Billy Butcher, I know your evil intentions and your horrific plans.

"You want to divide the United States into countless small parts and destroy them one after another. For example, now, you want to destroy Queens!"

As the words of the motherland fell, the TV broadcast the scene from Queens.

From above the sky, beyond the clouds, two red laser rays suddenly descended.

The light cuts through Queens.

Streets caved in, houses collapsed, and people who belatedly began to flee desperately.

Among the ruins, the screen that has not been extinguished is still playing the news of the motherland.

"Unfortunately, by the time I learned about this disaster, it was already too late, and the evil Butcher might have succeeded.

"As far as I know, the next Butcher attack should be in Manhattan at nine o'clock tonight.

"Stop it, Butcher, stop all your horrible actions.

"I'll be waiting for you in Times Square at 8 o'clock tonight.

"Let's solve it one-on-one, don't hurt innocent people!"

Homelander finished shouting to everyone, and all the screens returned to normal.

Amid the noisy and panicked discussion, a man in black clothes and with a beard stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.

Homelander's shouting just now may sound like a declaration of justice to others.

But to this person, it means something completely different.

He is Billy Butcher.

The attack on Queens just now was not done by himself.

Damn Homelander, this is forcing me to come out.

His declaration is very clear. If he doesn't show up, then at 9 o'clock tonight, Homelander will directly attack Manhattan.

All the lives and losses will be attributed to Butcher.

"Asshole!"

Butcher clenched the dagger in his arms.

Want to fight one-on-one with me?

I couldn't ask for more!

…

The TV in the bar was just playing the Declaration of the Homelanders.

The tragedy in Queens was also shown through live broadcast.

Martha shook her glass and looked at her face reflected in the wine.

“Although it’s a little fast, Bruce should be able to handle it.”

Martha drank the wine in the glass.

“Bruce, you have to work hard!”

Martha smiled, feeling the slight intoxication coming from her head.

“I hope Barbatos can be of some use. Starting from the witch, I have been helping him plan for so long, just for now.”

Martha hummed a nursery rhyme, which was the song Bruce used to coax to sleep when he was a child.

“Don’t listen to the nonsense of the owl.”

“You just need to be a good child to your mother.”

There should be two updates today. The plot later needs to be polished. The missing one will be made up.
