Black Book

Chapter 505: Feeding on Destiny

wow~
The broad dark wings stretched down, and the tall and elegant figure landed lightly on the balcony, throwing aside the well-mannered man in his hands, who was only in his shorts.

Robert Bruce Banner staggered for a while and finally stood firm. When he looked up, he saw a kind and elegant middle-aged white man looking at him with a smile.

The retro tuxedo, spotless white gloves, and humble and polite temperament perfectly fit the image of an ancient aristocratic butler that Banner imagined.

"Wilson, find him some clothes and prepare a room."

"Yes, my Lord."

The gorgeous and evil dark wings shrank and closed, turning into a cloak hanging down behind his back. Zhu Haomiao walked back to his previous seat, opened the magic book he had not finished reading, and picked up the coffee on the coffee table and took a sip.

Hmm...still warm...

On the other side, Banner quietly looked at the young man in black sitting in a high-back chair, wanting to say something but stopping himself, with thousands of questions in his mind.

But in the end he didn't dare to speak rashly. He imitated Wilson's actions, touched his chest and saluted, then obediently followed the guide and disappeared into the corridor.

Dozens of minutes later, after washing up and changing into clean clothes, Bruce Banner came back to Zhu Haomiao and found that he was meditating with his eyes closed.

Glancing at Wilson who was smiling but not saying anything, Bruce Banner was neither standing nor sitting. He could only stand awkwardly beside his strict mentor like a primary school student who had made a mistake, anxiously waiting for his gaze.

Not far from him, Zhu Haomiao was immersed in reviewing the game, with all kinds of information flooding his mind.

[Gluttony] Devour Essence

All attributes +60 (30×200%)

Absorbing Original Sin
[Anger]: LV.0→LV.4
After a long time, Zhu Haomiao slowly opened his eyes and nodded as if he understood something.

As an important villain in the long river of fate, hatred itself has gathered a huge amount of luck, which will be transformed into a strange supernatural power under the influence of special [factors].

This is also the underlying driving force that pushes Emil, who was originally an ordinary human being, step by step to the opposite side of the "protagonist".

In other words, it is the inevitable gift of all "protagonists" - [Destiny]!
But no one is the eternal "protagonist". When fate comes, the "protagonist" will become a "supporting role", becoming a stepping stone for another person to move forward, or completing his own mission and ending his own story on the grand and tragic stage...

Just like... that last snap of fingers...

With an epiphany in his mind, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but look at his hands subconsciously.

For a long time, I thought that what I was devouring was [power].

However, on a more fundamental level, he was feeding on [Destiny]!
This is also the reason why I instinctively feel greed and appetite for Tony!
The flesh and blood of a mortal being had no appeal to him, but the [Destiny] it carried made him salivate.

His mind was full of mixed thoughts. It was unknown how long it had passed before Zhu Haomiao came back to his senses and noticed Bruce Banner, who was nervous and uneasy beside him.

"Sorry, I was lost in thought. Please sit down."

Pointing to the single sofa not far away, Zhu Haomiao chuckled gently and politely.

Hearing this, Bruce Banner carefully sat down on the sofa, but for some reason he only dared to sit on half of his butt. He turned sideways awkwardly to face the young man in black, and spoke uneasily.

"Um... Hello, my name is Bruce Banner, thank you for saving Betty."

"You're welcome, it's just a deal."

"........."

Seeing Banner's complicated emotions, Zhu Haomiao chuckled and comforted him.

"My name is Zhu Haomiao. Don't be nervous. I won't use you for human experiments. I just need a little of your blood occasionally. In return, you can live here temporarily and avoid being caught outside."

Hearing this, Bruce Banner's tense muscles gradually relaxed and he nodded solemnly. "I will abide by the previous agreement."

"Well, besides, I see that you seem to be troubled about how to control the beast within you. I have some meditation methods here. Do you want to try them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Bruce Banner's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.

However, Zhu Haomiao on the side smiled and poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Don't expect too much. The power in your body is very special. Meditation cannot completely control it. At most, it can only play a supporting role."

"It doesn't matter, even if there is a little bit of effect!"

It can be seen that Bruce Banner really hates Hulk. In a previous loss of control, he almost killed his beloved girlfriend with his own hands.

Over the next period of time, the ancient and magnificent temple became more popular.

As a top scientist, Bruce Banner was exposed to the unprecedented world of mysticism for the first time. Like a curious child, he pestered Wilson with questions every day.

But Wilson, who was a 'newcomer', knew the facts but not the reasons, and most of the time he could only send him away perfunctorily.

At the same time, Zhu Haomiao was flipping through the vast collection of books in the temple, studying Bruce Banner, and taking time to practice [Portal].

Today, he can already open a hole with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, but it is not very stable...

On this day, Zhu Haomiao drew circles as usual, looking at the magnificent scene of snow-covered land behind the washbasin-sized "window", when suddenly a vague call came to his mind.

“Zhu…Zhu…”

With a move of his eyes, Zhu Haomiao stood up, and under Banner's curious gaze, he carefully put his fingers together and solemnly drew a circle in the air.

Following the calling beacon positioning, there are anchor points on both sides of the [portal], and the difficulty is instantly reduced a lot. The gorgeous fire circle with a diameter of more than two meters suddenly expands, revealing a fashionable living room opposite.

Under Tony Stark's astonished gaze, Zhu Haomiao passed through the ring of fire, and the [portal] quickly collapsed and dissipated behind him.

"Are you calling me?"

In response to Zhu Haomiao's question, Tony was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses and nodded quickly.

"Yes, what I promised you before."

As he spoke, he picked up the replacement crude Ark reactor and carefully handed it to Zhu Haomiao.

After taking the gift handed over by the other party, Zhu Haomiao vaguely sensed the strange fluctuations in the long river of fate, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

It seems that accepting it will cause the world line to deviate unpredictably...

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Haomiao shook his head and threw it back.

"never mind."

Taking the palm-sized Ark reactor steadily, Tony Stark looked at Zhu Haomiao strangely.

"Didn't you say you wanted it?"

When he agreed, Tony Stark thought he was coveting the technology of the Ark Reactor, but later he thought that he might just like to collect some commemorative things.

But now, the other party strangely doesn't want it anymore...

"It doesn't belong to me yet. I will take it away when it breaks off the cause and effect and completes its mission."
