Chapter 382: I am weak as a chicken at the age of seventeen, but I am invincible after seventeen
The next day, at Padrick Farm.

Bruce looked at Zatanna in surprise.

He didn't expect to see Zatanna here.

"Zazatanna, why are you here?"

In the living room, Bruce looked at Zatanna, who had grown into a graceful lady.

"Bruce? Are you Bruce Wayne?"

"Yes, I'm Bruce."

Bruce recognized his childhood playmate at once, though he still couldn't believe his eyes.

"Wait, you guys know each other?"

Seeing Bruce and Zatanna staring at each other, the vixen McBee asked them in confusion, "How did you two meet?"

"That's a long story."

Zatanna took a deep breath to calm herself down, and explained to McBee, "After witnessing his parents being killed, young Bruce became very introverted. Taking advantage of Bruce's birthday, his butler Alfred held a birthday party in the hope that he would be happy."

Then she turned her gaze to Bruce, "Do you remember? Bruce."

Bruce nodded with a complicated expression, "Yes, of course I remember."

"Afterwards, Bruce sat by the river alone in a daze. I took the initiative to look for him, but he didn't want to be disturbed, so he said to me: the party is over there, the subtext was 'stay away from me'."

Zatanna looked at Bruce's embarrassed face and continued to smile and said to McBee: "Then I performed a magic trick for him."

McBee nodded and asked curiously, "What happened next?"

"After that, his sullen face finally showed a hint of smile, and we became friends. I stayed in Wayne Manor for several days. I have to say, it was quite big there, and I almost got lost."

Listening to Zatanna telling stories about their youth, Bruce felt a little sad, "You never contacted me, Zatanna."

"You haven't contacted me, Bruce. My father said that you might be trapped in hatred forever. If you can't eliminate this hatred, then you can't be a normal person again. You haven't contacted me, which means, Bruce, you still haven't walked out of that alley, and you haven't returned to normal life."

Zatanna said with some discomfort in her heart.

"I"

Bruce's mood became heavy. "We will be trapped in chains throughout our lives. Even if the chains are broken physically, the heart will become heavier than before."

After a while, Bruce exhaled and said to Zatanna, who was also silent, "I investigated the whereabouts of Mr. John Zatara, but found nothing."

"Thank you for your concern, Bruce. I have already met my father."

Zatanna smiled at Bruce and said, "We have a farewell that is more than ten years late. Although it is a bit regrettable, it makes up for what I have always longed for."

Bruce was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked him uncertainly: "You mean, Mr. Zatara, he..."

"Yes, my father has died in a fire."

"I'm so sorry, Zach."

"It's nothing, it's all over."

Zatanna said to him in an "it's okay" tone: "We have to move on, don't we?"

Bruce nodded.

He was about to ask the other party how he knew Peter when he heard a voice coming from upstairs.

"Bruce?"

Peter looked at Bruce in surprise when he saw him appear on the farm.

"gentlemen."

Bruce came up to greet Peter, "and little Raven, good morning."

"Good morning, Brother Bruce."

Raven, who was held in Peter's arms, replied politely to Bruce.

"Brother Bruce, did you bring me a gift?"

As the richest man in Gotham, Raven looks forward to Bruce's every visit.

As the richest man, the gift he gives to himself must be the best.

"Uh sorry, I forgot, Raven, whatever gift you like, I'll just buy it for you."

Bruce said somewhat awkwardly.

"No, thank you for your generosity, Brother Bruce, but Dad said it's not polite to ask for gifts directly from people."

Riven shook her head and said seriously.

Bruce: "."

Isn't it a way of asking for a gift when you just asked what gift you gave?
Bruce was in a messy state, Peter coughed and handed Raven to McBee next to him.

"Raven, you watch the cartoon with Aunt Mary and Zatanna for a while. I'll talk to Bruce."

As he spoke, he rubbed the forehead of the somewhat reluctant Raven and handed it to McBee.

He knew that Bruce was looking for him because of something important.

Upstairs, in the study.

Peter poured Bruce a cup of coffee and asked him, "I guess you must have some questions for me, right?"

Bruce held the coffee cup, nodded and said, "Yes, sir, I don't know how to describe it, but I think what I said may be very important to you."

"Is it important to me?" Peter became interested after hearing the other party say that.

"Really? Then I'm very interested."

Bruce organized his words and told Peter about Mark and Omni-Man from another world that he had observed yesterday.

He also told Peter about his previous dream about Clark and Mark fighting.

Peter froze when he heard Bruce mention that the next baby might be Mark.

Mark Grayson?

A superhero born in the world of "Invincible Young Man", a hybrid born from the union of Omni-Man and a woman from Earth.

Not only is his ability not inferior to A-Zu's, but his values ​​are even as positive as the Flash's.

In order to protect the earth, he even turned against his father.

In a sense, he is indeed a father who worries about his father.

However, the invincible young man's superpowers will not awaken until he is seventeen years old.

That is to say, if the fifth baby is really the Invincible Knight, he will live as an ordinary person until he is seventeen years old.

"gentlemen."

Peter was lost in thought when Bruce's words interrupted him.

Peter looked up at him, and Bruce hesitated and said to him, "If that really happened, I mean, if the Invincible Boy really came to Earth, how would you deal with him?"

"What do you think should be done, Bruce?"

Peter asked him, his eyebrows twitching.

"I think that even though he was born as a baby, he is still a biological weapon of the Vitrum people. He cannot abandon his mission as a member of the Vitrum Empire. Just like the world he destroyed, if we don't restrict him, he may cause a war like he did on that Earth."

Although he felt that this was a bit cruel, Bruce still felt that he had to control the other party.

Unlike the Kryptonians, the Vitrum people's enthusiasm for aggression and war seems to be engraved in their genes.

By observing another world, Bruce thought he had a preliminary understanding of this race.

"How can you be sure that what you see is the real Mark, Bruce?"

Peter asked Bruce.

Bruce was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it, sir?"

"Don't be deceived by your own eyes, Bruce. Perhaps what you saw was just a collapsed universe among many parallel universes. Something must have happened to cause all the bad endings, just like Clark in the Injustice world would turn evil, but you and I both believe that Clark in our world would not turn evil. In the normal world, I believe that Mark would never collude with his father, Omni-Man."

"You saw him in your dream, and he stood up for me bravely, even though he had no power. I believe that a person full of courage will not become a villain without bottom line."

Peter had some knowledge of the world of "Wandering Tiger, Hitman" in his previous life.

He guessed that what Bruce saw was probably a parallel universe of some invincible young hero.

Mark from the main universe not only did not choose to follow his father, but he also refused to give in.

He insisted that being weak is not necessarily inferior, but rather has its own nobility.

To a greater or lesser extent, people have the seeds of kindness in their hearts and the desire to be good. Therefore, being chivalrous and punishing evil and promoting good are not the privileges of superheroes, nor are they reasons for superheroes to be superior to ordinary people. People have the right to be grateful to superheroes, but they are not obligated to accept their protection or be at their mercy.

Mark's remarks completely angered his father, and the two finally dueled in the city.

There's even a scene where Omni-Man grabs Mark's head and collides with a speeding subway train with his Vitrum's steel body, causing him to witness the death of everyone in the subway the moment he collides with him.

Hundreds of lives were wiped out in a minute. The only ones alive in the subway station were the blood-stained Mark and the contemptuous Almighty Man.

The Almighty thought that this would make Mark collapse, but he did not expect that after experiencing this tragic scene, Mark not only did not collapse, but instead strengthened his determination to fight his father to the end.

Peter doesn't believe that this "father-worried man" who can fight with his father until the last second for the sake of the earth will attack the people on Earth.

The problem is that this kid didn't have any superpowers before he was seventeen, so how to protect him from harm is a problem.

Bruce fell silent as he listened to Peter's words.

Although he didn't trust Mark, he felt that what Peter said made sense.

"I understand, sir."

Bruce nodded slightly to Peter and said nothing more.

At dinner time, Bruce stayed on the farm to eat.

Loki kept looking at Bruce, as if he wanted to say something.

"How was your tutoring with Miss Martha?"

Peter put down his knife and fork and asked the dishonest Loki.

"Very good, Dad. I mean, Teacher Martha teaches very well and I am making rapid progress."

Loki always felt a sense of familiarity and closeness towards Teacher Martha.

I always feel that the aura of the other person is somewhat similar to that of the World Tree.

Peter nodded and was about to continue asking questions when the farm phone suddenly rang.

"I'm Peter Padrick."

Peter stood up and answered the phone.

Jonathan's voice came, "It's me, Jonathan, Peter, something's wrong!"
