Batman's Owl Godfather

"Let's talk after we go out."

Hermione's expression was extremely ugly.

Although she acted calmly at the banquet, this was just a protective color disguised by her.

Hermione's heart was actually on the verge of collapse. The murder made her feel evil and darkness from the inside out.

Bruce didn't force himself, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go out first."

When leaving the auditorium, Hermione's steps were shaky, and she even had to be supported by Bruce to avoid falling.

"Ares is serious."

Hermione's face turned pale, "Others may not have taken this matter to heart yet, but I know he is not joking!"

Maybe the banquet happened too suddenly. Although everyone at the banquet heard that people were going to kill people, they were completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

After all, for the little wizards, killing is just a terrifying concept. They have never experienced how terrifying it is.

During the entire banquet, only Sirius and Snape were taking it seriously, because they were the only two who had actually experienced the war.

Of course Peter Pettigrew was one, but he didn't have a voice at the banquet.

Although Hermione was still a child, as a girl, she was already more precocious and had a very delicate mind. She had already smelled the vague murderous intention at the banquet.

Especially when Sirius revealed that he was the guardian of the Eagle, Hermione seemed to hear a dark laugh.

A dark chuckle from the werewolf.

"What is the specific situation?"

Bruce said seriously, "Hermione, I hope you will explain everything clearly from beginning to end!"

"Give me a moment to slow down."

Hermione sat on the steps of the stairs, covering her face and forcing herself to calm down.

After a long time, she finally raised her head. The helplessness and confusion she had felt earlier had been suppressed, and she looked much better.

"The Banquet of the God of War was organized by Professor Lu Ping."

She said, "But that person is not Professor Lupin, he calls himself Ares..."

Hermione told Bruce exactly what happened at the Ares' Banquet.

Occasionally, there would be some missing information or information that she didn't know at all, and Katum would also add it.

Bruce gradually understood the purpose of holding this feast of the God of War.

"Someone is bound to die!"

Hermione looked at her hands. Although she had tried her best to control them, they were still trembling.

"Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, in short, within this month..."

She said painfully, "Someone will definitely die. A friend I know will kill another friend I know!"

Hermione didn't want to doubt anyone. The other eight members of the party, except for Sirius and Peter, were all acquaintances she had known for more than two years.

Hermione could never imagine that they would kill each other.

"It's okay Hermione."

Bruce sat next to Hermione and lent her his shoulder to lean on.

"Although I don't know how to say it, I believe other people don't want to see that scene either."

"Really? But I'm really scared..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

Bruce tightened his grip on something in his hand.

As if talking to himself, he kept repeating: "There is nothing to be afraid of, yes, there is nothing to be afraid of."

…

After comforting Hermione, Bruce sent her back to Gryffindor's dormitory.

When he returned to his bed, he called Katum.

"Do you think anyone's going to die?"

Bruce asked, "Will everything develop next, like the dark multiverse you mentioned, inevitably heading in the most desperate direction?"

"I can't promise you that either."

Katum said, "But you know, we still have the chance to make a comeback."

"Yeah yeah."

Bruce thought, Katum was right, making a comeback from the Jedi, isn't this what Batman is best at?

But he didn't understand why he had to reach a desperate situation before using his strength?

Can't we take action from the beginning and nip the crisis at its inception?

"Bruce, I feel like you're overlooking something right now."

Katum stood next to Bruce's pillow, "You have been thinking about Ares's purpose, but I only ask you one thing -"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Is Ares important?"

"What?" Bruce felt confused.

How could Ares not be important?

"I haven't spoken much since the banquet. That's why."

Katum said, “Ares is not the most critical factor because he is just an accidental product.

"Bruce, I must remind you again, Ares is not Barbatos' pursuer!"

Indeed not.

If you want to recognize Ares in Lupine's body, he is Barbatos' pursuer.

We must also admit that Gordon in Sirius and Batman in Cedric are also Barbatos' pursuers.

Katum had a hard time convincing himself of this.

In this case, it can only mean that in addition to the Banquet of the God of War on the surface, there is another person who is hiding behind everything and causing trouble.

The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.

If you act rashly, you may just make wedding clothes for others.

Katum said: "We must at least know who the pursuer is this time and what kind of abilities he has, so that we know how to deal with him, right?"

The pursuers this time may be very strong.

I don’t know if Bruce realized this, but Katum noticed it anyway.

Due to the previous restrictions in the auditorium, Bruce just took one step and was immediately teleported to the end of the corridor.

This ability is like apparating, and it's also like the principle of a portkey.

But the problem is that Katum didn't feel any magic fluctuations in it. It was not the result of magic.

Ares's power now relies entirely on Lupine's own magic power, and he simply cannot do this.

It was caused by another person hiding behind the scenes!

But since he is so strong, why not just capture Bruce?

Katum thought a little irritably.

"But what if someone dies?"

At this time, Bruce asked, "At the Banquet of the God of War, it is obvious that three people are going to kill six other people first, and then kill everyone else in the school. Are we going to watch this happen?"

Katum was helpless: "Then how about we go directly to Ares now? I told you, he is not Barbatos' pursuer!

"Destroying Ares is easy, Bruce. It's only slightly more difficult than defeating a Lupin, which is equal to no difficulty.

“But we must first investigate clearly who the pursuer is and what his capabilities are.

“As for what you said, if tragedy of death occurs, even one after another.

"Bruce, I promise you—

"Even if everything reaches the most desperate stage, we can completely turn the situation around!

"Ares wants to create a super high school level despair, but you Bruce are a super high school level hope!

"Instead of thinking about what to do, you should first do the research you should do and find out the true identity of the pursuer.

"Believe me, I'm behind you!"

On the way to send Hermione back to the dormitory, Katum and Bruce had already discussed why Ares held this feast of the God of War.

Finally the two reached a consensus.

First we have to go back to Ares himself.

This God of War is now very weak and does not have any divine power. In addition to being good at brainwashing others, he can only rely on Lupine's own magic to cause trouble.

But to explore Ares’ purpose?

Shukatum said bluntly that this legendary God of War is more like a devilish believer who is inherently evil in human nature.

He firmly believes that humans are fragile, cruel and selfish, capable of doing the most horrific things.

Ares believes that the things created by his father Zeus are the most evil existences.

The only outcome for mankind is to destroy itself.

For this reason, he even declared that he was not the god of war, but the god of truth.

The reason why he started the war was to welcome the arrival of truth.

"I wonder what could be more evil in this world than locking a group of children together and letting them kill each other?"

Katum said, "This is the purpose of Ares holding the Banquet of the God of War, to select the most ruthless and capable one from Hogwarts, and then——"

"Let him kill everyone in Hogwarts as a testimonial!"

Bruce continued, "The Banquet of the God of War is a breeding ground, but it is not to cultivate the God of War, but to cultivate the destroyer of mankind, the real devil!"

"That's right." Katum nodded in agreement.

A man who can wield a knife against his classmates, teachers and friends without mercy is exactly what Ares needs.

As for werewolf killing?

It was just a carrier that Ares thought was suitable. After all, those who only knew how to kill people were called murderers, and there were a lot of them in Azkaban.

In addition to killing, people who can also bewitch, provoke, frame and plot can be called devils.

"Then when can I overturn this banquet?"

"You must at least be able to enter the auditorium first, right?"

Katum said naturally, "If you want to overturn the table, you must have the ability to overturn the table. If you can't even enter the auditorium, forget about the rest."

"I see."

Bruce said no more, he understood his current task.

"Katum, I probably know what you are talking about as a means of reversing the situation."

Bruce closed his eyes, "Since there is such a guarantee, even if the dead appear, it is not irreversible.

"Although some painful things will happen in the middle, I believe the ending will be good."

The owl nodded: "This is exactly what we are trying to achieve."

Tragedy may occur, pain may persist, and fear may spread.

But in the end, he and Bruce will reverse everything.

Family fun may be just a fairy tale, a beautiful imagination of human beings.

But there are always people who have to work hard to realize this beauty.

As Katum said, Bruce will always be the hope in despair.

"Katum."

Before Bruce finally fell asleep, something suddenly occurred to him.

He said in a daze: "Since Ares has extremely strong brainwashing ability, is it possible that he also brainwashed Barbatos' pursuers?"

"I wouldn't rule it out."

"But I still think it's not that simple," Katum said.
