Godslayer in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 61 Following in Father's Footsteps

Catwoman can take advantage of men's affection for her and manipulate them at will.

No matter how many high-ranking officials she had messed with, including Batman, they all had one thing in common—they were rule-abiding and gentlemanly.

Frankly, she was powerless against seemingly unruly killers like Bane or Kratos.

Upon hearing Kratos's voice, Catwoman was startled, and her mind raced.

She snapped, "Mr. Ang! Is this really the right thing to do?"

Ang remained completely unfazed when his real name was called out in one breath.

Catwoman was never stupid; the note on the expensive necklace he gave her had her real name on it, which revealed some information.

Ang was absolutely certain that she had no evidence.

A large, broad hand stroked Catwoman's neck from behind. Catwoman, who was dangling in the air in a spread-eagle position by spider silk, twisted her body slightly and then gave up resisting.

Her slight trembling betrayed her inner fear.

"You know what? That idiot Dagate once thought he could control Bane by spending money..." Ang said, and Catwoman's hair stood on end. He continued, "Guess what Bane said to Dagate?"

"I... I can't guess."

"Bain retorted, 'Just because you paid me, does that mean I have to listen to you?' Then, Mr. Dagate's neck twisted to the right and never returned to its original position for the rest of his life."

There's so much information!

Catwoman was once hired by Dagate to steal Bruce Wayne's fingerprints. Dagate took the goods but didn't pay her and didn't provide Catwoman with the procedure to clear her criminal record. Forced by Bane, she didn't dare to cause trouble for Dagate.

Now that Dagate has been killed by Bane, not to mention Kratos actually knows the whole process?

Based on this reasoning, Ang, this rich kid, is most likely just a pawn of Kratos.

So, wouldn't she, Dagate, Batman, Bane, Angle... everyone in this situation be under Kratos's control?

Ang spoke slowly, his voice low yet gentle. To Catwoman, it was unmistakably more terrifying than the fear Bane had instilled in her.

Kratos is no longer some brute, but a great demon king who controls everything!

As the rough palms caressed the skin on the back of her neck, Catwoman got goosebumps all over her body, and her trembling was impossible to hide.

Her brain was like an overclocked CPU, spinning so hard it was almost smoking.

Ultimately, she decided to bend over.

A perfect S-curve tells the story of her decision.

"No, don't kill me. I'll do anything to get me out of Gotham's dark world."

"Gotham's dark world? Hmph! Those guys are nothing." Ang casually tossed something onto the spider silk directly in front of Catwoman.

It was an ebony mask, radiating an unusual luster.

Catwoman swore she would never forget this thing for the rest of her life.

A look of shock and disbelief appeared on her face.

Her expression was priceless, as if she had witnessed the full spectrum of emotions—the waxing and waning of the moon—within mere seconds.

After the overwhelming shock, every line of her face softened as she relaxed, and she let out a series of silvery laughs.

This isn't a seductive laugh meant to seduce men!

It was pure, heartfelt joy, even with a hint of liberation.

"Hahahaha! So it was Kratos, Mr. Kratos, who killed 'Black Mask'? Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had brought this out earlier, there wouldn't have been so many misunderstandings." Her back, which had been arched from continuous laughter, bent down again, then she straightened up, gently turning her neck, her eyes gleaming with a strange light: "Perhaps Mr. Kratos, you've killed too many people and don't know what 'Black Mask' Sienness has done?"

"Um?"

"I once unintentionally sabotaged Black Mask's business. Black Mask didn't catch me, but they found out and arrested my sister and brother-in-law. That damned bastard first had someone break every bone in my brother-in-law's body with a baseball bat in front of my sister, beating him for three whole hours before he died. Then my sister ate her husband's corpse. My sister was driven insane..."

Catwoman's eyes shone with a fanatical and intense light, a mixture of deep-seated hatred for Black Mask and the relief of having avenged her great grudge.

"After Black Mask sent me the execution videotape, I only had the courage to watch it once..." She cried, recounting this tragic past in a rambling manner. After saying all this, she collapsed.

Ang put her down; there was no need to keep her tied up anymore.

[Fate] is indeed a strange thing. He rose to power by killing Black Mask, but who knew that he would gain something else after going around in circles?

Catwoman removed her mask, revealing a perfect face that was hard for any man to resist. She gently climbed onto Kratos's shoulder and tentatively nibbled at his pale tiger lips.

Ang did not refuse.

On the contrary, he had a vague premonition.

If we follow the historical and world-building rules, this filial son is now practically stealing a girl from his unfaithful father!

Almost the instant the lips touched those rose petal-like lips, a system notification appeared.

[Congratulations, host! You have completed the second stage of (Rebellion Against the Magnificent King). Your soul strength has increased to 25 points, officially activating the (Soul Stealing) ability.]

[Soul Stealing: The host can strengthen themselves by killing powerful individuals with similar attributes and plundering and devouring their souls. Note: Some high-level artifacts have strict requirements regarding soul attributes and strength.]

Ang suddenly remembered the red souls he had collected when he killed enemies. So these weren't just for enhancing strength, but also a stepping stone to mastering high-level artifacts?

What's even scarier is yet to come...

[(Rebellion against the magnificent King) Phase Three begins. Mission objective: The host becomes the leader of the (Justice League).]

There are such tasks?

The son forges his own path, leaving his father with nowhere to go?

I'm so sorry!

However, neither Angle nor Bruce Wayne can turn back in this life. Batman is bankrupt; where does his financial power come from? Without financial power, even with his brilliant mind, Batman can't create a whole bunch of high-tech weapons.

If they don't want the master to weaken, Ang has no choice but to take over the reins.

Indeed, everything is interconnected.

As Ang pondered, Catwoman launched her attack, and soon both of them realized that the other was distracted.

Ang smiled.

Cats love their homes, dogs love their people.

Cats often don't care who the owner of the house is.

The same applies to Catwoman. Ang helped her avenge her sister, which certainly sparked her feelings for him. But was it truly a sudden, passionate infatuation?

Yes! But how much? Perhaps even Catwoman doesn't know how much of her kisses were acting and how much were genuine.

Ang patted the cat's butt: "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. Let Bain jump around for a while, and once things have settled down, you can carefully examine your own heart and decide whether to follow me or not."

Meanwhile, after capturing Batman, Bane finally launched his grand plan to destroy Gotham City.
