Chapter 173
Whether in comics or movies, the origin story of the Katana is largely the same: she was a married woman, and the Soul Taker Katana was originally her husband's collectible. After her husband's death, she used the Soul Taker Katana to avenge him, and therefore, her husband's soul was also in the Soul Taker Katana.
Not to mention in the comics, there's also a scene in the Suicide Squad movie where the Katana is talking to the Soul Taker Katana and her husband.
However, it seems that the soul sealed within the Katana Soul Taker not contain Katana's husband, otherwise her reaction would not be like this.
In other words, the 'story' about the Katana has changed.
The butterfly effect?
The only thing in this world that can cause a butterfly effect is oneself, but it seems that I have never done anything that could affect the Katana or the Soul Taker Katana!
Out of curiosity, Su Quan unleashed his Psychic Abilities.
"Buzz!"
With his Psychic Abilities flowing into the Katana's mind, Su Quan quickly reviewed her memories.
A moment later, he knew the reason.
This matter is indeed related to him!
Although it wasn't a direct relationship, I was still indirectly affected by it!
Simply put, the Soul Taker Katana in the Katana did not come from her husband.
She doesn't have a husband at all, let alone a husband, she's never even had a boyfriend!
This Soul Taker Katana belongs to Diana!
Yes, Diana!
To be honest, Su Quan really didn't expect Diana to be associated with the Katana. After all, the Katana is mainly associated with the Suicide Squad, the Birds of Prey, and the Outsiders, with Batman being the most likely addition.
But many things happen by chance, or rather, the butterfly effect is incredibly powerful.
Diana and Cheetah have been searching for Asteria, and during this time they reportedly bought quite a few things related to Asteria, including this Soul Taker Katana.
Of course, the Soul Taker's Katana has nothing to do with Asteria; I just didn't know that when I bought it.
They happened to encounter Katana in trouble at that time, so they lent her the Soul Taker Katana.
When the Katana to them, they had already left.
For Diana and Cheetah, the Katana was special, but that was all there was to it. As for its value, they weren't short of money, so they didn't care.
From then on, the Soul Taker's Katana remained in the Katana, and she thus earned the name of the Katana.
Su Quan gently patted the Soul Taker's Katana, returning the released souls to the blade, then looked at the Katana with a half-smile.
"This knife is not yours!"
The Katana's expression hardened. "You're trying to steal my sword?"
"Didn't I already take it?" Su Quan smiled. "The knife is in my hand, so it's mine! Now it's your turn to try and take my knife!"
"It's not yours!"
The Katana snorted coldly. Although she knew the chances were slim, she was determined to get the Katana back no matter what.
"You're saying this knife is mine?" Su Quan asked, patting the Enchantress June Moone beside him with a smile.
What could June Moone say?
She wanted to say no, but she didn't dare!
"Yes, right?" June Moone said softly.
Su Quan smiled nonchalantly, then looked at the Black Canary on the other side. "Tell me, is the knife mine?"
Black Canary shared the same thought as June Moone. Although she didn't know the cause and effect, it was clear that Su Quan was making excuses and trying to force her to keep the knife.
But does she dare to say it?
I wouldn't dare!
"Yes, it's yours!" the Black Canary whispered.
Su Quan chuckled and looked at the Katana: "See, they all said this katana is mine!"
I have never seen such a shameless person!
The Katana said in a deep voice, "What do you want in return for my Katana?"
Su Quan casually tossed the Soul Taker's Katana to the Katana.
He instinctively caught the Katana, completely stunned.
What's going on?
Weren't you trying to steal my knife?
Didn't you say it was yours?
Why did you suddenly give it back to me?
"Do you remember who lent you this knife?" Su Quan asked leisurely.
The Katana paused, then said, "What do you know?"
Su Quan waved his hand, instantly conjuring up the images of Diana and Cheetah.
Upon seeing the two of them, Katana was momentarily stunned, then excitedly asked, "You know them?"
"This is Diana, my woman, and also the Daughter of Zeus, the Amazons princess."
"This is Barbara Minerva, the Cheetah, and also a member of the Birds of Prey."
"They are my people, so their things are naturally mine too. This knife was lent to you by them back then. By the way, I paid for this Soul Taker Katana!"
"I said it's mine, is there a problem?"
If that's the case, then—it really is no problem!
June Moone, Black Canary, and everyone else present thought Su Quan intended to seize the property by force, never expecting such a backstory.
So the Katana wasn't actually the true owner of the Soul Taker Katana. It was bought by Diana and Cheetah, and then lent to the Katana, using Su Quan's money.
Therefore, in terms of ownership, the Soul Taker's Katana does indeed belong to Su Quan!
But it was the Katana that was the one who wanted to steal it!
Even the Katana itself was stunned. It thought it was in the right, but it turned out that the Joker was itself!
She didn't doubt that Su Quan was lying to her. After all, very few people knew about this matter, and it was unlikely that he was lying, since he could describe it so accurately and even describe the two of them.
Most importantly, although the Katana came to steal the sword, she herself did not think she could succeed!
Given Su Quan's strength and influence, it would be extremely difficult for him to get the knife back after he had taken it. There was no need for him to deliberately deceive himself.
If he doesn't give it to me, I can't take it away at all.
It doesn't matter who the knife originally belonged to, because it now belongs to him!
All these reasons combined made Katana believe that Su Quan couldn't possibly be lying to her.
This is really awkward.
After a few seconds of silence, the Katana reluctantly returned the Soul Taker's Katana with both hands. "I didn't know there was such a story behind it. This sword is indeed yours!"
Su Quan didn't take it, but instead smiled and asked, "Do you want it?"
The Katana excitedly looked up. "Yes!"
"Since we've got nothing to do, how about we play a little game?" Su Quan pointed to the Birds of Prey beside him and said with a chuckle, "Each of you will play a round!"
"If you win one match, this Soul Taker Katana is yours!"
"If you can win three matches, I have a Super-Soldier Serum here that can comprehensively improve physical fitness. It's yours!"
"If you can win all of them, I will reward you with the Dionysus Factor. The Dionysus Factor can heal itself and regenerate. Simply put, as long as you have the Dionysus Factor, you can't die!"
Dionysus Factor?
Poison Ivy, Killer Frost, and June Moone all turned to look at Harley Quinn.
Harley Quinn can't die, so—it's the Dionysus Factor?
Sensing their gazes, Su Quan smiled and said, "You are all my people, so naturally I won't favor one over the other. Everyone who wins will receive a reward!"
"Okay, I agree!" the Katana agreed.
Needless to say, the Birds of Prey was all eager to get started, looking at their Katana as if they were seeing a priceless treasure.
"I'll go first!"
The Killer Frost was the first to volunteer. She jumped through the Teleportation Portal and arrived in front of the Katana. Without saying a word, she immediately condensed an ice spike and threw it at the Katana.
Katana to parry, shattering each attack, and then strode forward, trying to close the distance.
The Killer Frost was equally decisive, quickly creating distance and continuing to attack from afar with Icicle, effectively kiting the enemy!
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Soul Taker's Katana (Katana)"
"Bite!"
