Chapter 549: The Court of Owls
Chapter 549
The birth of Bruce Wayne meant the beginning of a new era. Meanwhile, the streets of Gotham City. A teenager named Oswald Chesterfield Copot begins to run the streets in order to survive.
A young man named Gordon chose to enter the police academy to study. Most critically, at the same time. In the ghetto of Gotham, in a dilapidated apartment.
A woman holding a baby is putting the child to sleep. In the dim light, the corners of the baby's mouth outline a strange arc, like a smile. Separated by dozens of kilometers, but some fate lines have begun to be stubbornly entangled.
Diana finished her blessing, then stood up and said to Su Yuan.
"It's your turn."
"I don't need to, do I?" Su Yuan actually didn't like to have too deep entanglements with the master. After all, this person, although he was all kinds of hangings in the later period, was really notoriously stubborn. And Batman is a typical humanist supremacy, and Su Yuan is no longer within the scope of human beings. You're not all the way.
However, at this moment, Diana's pretty face suddenly changed, which made Su Yuan's heart tighten. For the sake of his own sexual well-being, Su Yuan unsurprisingly compromised.
"Well, you gave him will, courage, and faith. Then I gave him unparalleled resistance. From now on, your resistance to pain and illness will become the limit of human beings. Su Yuan used elven language and whispered a blessing. A faint white light flickered in his hand, slowly brushing over Bruce's body.
Young Bruce didn't know what was going on. But he could feel it all, and it was all comfortable for him. On the young face, he showed a happy smile at Su Yuan and Diana.
The two gods, to the future Bruce Wayne, made a blessing. This is an unprecedented honor for humanity. But at this time, Thomas Wayne and Martha didn't know what it meant.
Su Yuan is not afraid of changing anything. If he is just starting to cross, of course he will carefully follow the plot. Because that's his greatest strength. But now, the power has reached the level of a god, and he doesn't care about making changes to some of the plot.
It's like the Thomas Wayne couple in front of them, who would have died in that alley more than ten years later. Countless Batman movies, related TV series. They have been dead for an unknown number of times.
After thinking for a while, Su Yuan took out two crystal pendants.
"Diana's gift for you. You know, she's in the art business. I got this pair of accessories before. It is said to be a token of love between a certain king of ancient Greece and his beloved queen. ”
Diana glanced at Su Yuan a little strangely, but still gave him a round.
"The story is not necessarily true, but it is indeed an ornament that was circulated among the ancient Greek royal family."
"This one is too precious." Martha took a fancy to the pair of crystal pendants at a glance. Of course, her husband can afford to buy any accessories. But this kind of ancient royal artwork is not something that can be bought with money.
Thomas, of course, moved his wife's meaning and took the gift.
"Thank you so much. Mr. Grant. I have an offer. I wonder if you'd like to be Bruce's godfather and godmother? ”
Let me first explain that godfathers and godmothers in the Western world are actually quite complicated. Mainly different denominations have this statement. Nicene Godfathers, Greek Godfathers, Latin Godfathers; Apologetic fathers, philosophical fathers, etc., are divided into various terms according to theology, religion, and so on. Su Yuan actually couldn't figure out the Dao inside.
"I'm honored to be the godfather of Bruce. But our faith ...... Well, Diana believed in the Greek gods, and I was a believer in the Orient. These ......"
"It's okay." Thomas whispered suddenly. "I'll tell you one thing, our family is not really a devout believer. We believe that human hands are the direct force that changes the world. Whether it is God or the gods, for human beings, the impact is not great. However, most of the other families of Gotham have religious backgrounds. ”
The Wayne family is understandably not believers. Imagine the old man in the back, can you imagine the picture of Batman believing in a certain god and burning incense to worship the Buddha for blessings?
"I see what you mean. Actually, I'm not an orthodox Taoist. Diana was a true believer, but there was a similar story in their denomination. So, it's all the same, right? ”
"Look, I'll say they'll say yes." Martha said proudly on the side. It seems that this proposal was originally made by Martha.
In this way, Su Yuan and Diana became Bruce Wayne's godfather and godmother. Regarding the matter of becoming Batman's father, Su Yuan is completely able to accept it. There's even a little bit of pride.
At the banquet of the Bruce Wayne family, Su Yuan also met a well-known figure in Gotham, Falcone. At this time, the Falcone family was still the big man on the face of Gotham. Black and white, no one dares to plunder its edge. But Su Yuan knew that the Falcone family was actually also a pawn of the Owl Court.
The members of that group of ancient families all have paranoia of victimization. There are layers of various vests on his body. These guys hold the power of the city's supreme power. One by one, they are afraid of death. In all corners of the city, set up laboratories and find ways to live forever.
At this point, their experiments should not be complete. The later Talon Legion shows no signs of activity yet.
There are a number of different theories about the origin of the Talon Legion. The main thing is that the DC universe restarts at every turn, and various settings eat each other's books. Su Yuan didn't know which setting he would encounter.
In DC "Metal", the origin of the Talon Legion is derived from a special substance called the Dionysian factor. This substance, which is rooted in the earth's origins, gives the earth the ability to heal itself. If it can be transplanted to humans, it will make people immortal.
However, the extraction of the Dionysian factor is very difficult. It's almost impossible to get a pure version. So most of what was made were some soldiers of the living dead. In addition to DC's own son, Joker, who once got a pure version of the Bacchus factor, there may only be a pure version in the body of the future Batman.
Thinking of this, Su Yuan walked towards Falcone.
At this time, Falcone had not long taken over the family, but he had already shown amazing skill. In just a few years, most of the underground world has been unified. The Falcone family's prestige in the underworld has reached its peak.
"Mr. Falcone, can you do me a favor?"
