Chapter 466 Magical Reform (Part 10)
Ultimately, Constantine chose to leave without a word. The pressure he had been under during this time was simply too great, and Rune could understand his actions.
Perhaps in the future Rune will give him a job that is more suitable for a good person. He never thought that his decision would lead Constantine to make such a decision.
In Rune's memory, if it were the Constantine from the main world, he would even take the initiative to help Rune get rid of some hardliners—perhaps the Constantine in this universe is better?
But this is probably the difference between different universes. Rune secretly kept this lesson in mind and vowed never to use the personalities of characters in the main world to judge their counterparts in another universe.
But he had no time to pay attention to Constantine's thoughts; during this time, Rune was also extremely busy.
In Earth-Three, he shared his idea of building a superhuman army with Deathstroke and explained in detail the enemies they would face in the future. The hero Deathstroke quickly accepted Rune's advice.
This wasn't because he trusted Rune so much, but because Deathstroke had long wanted to form a superhuman organization to stop the supervillains of Earth-3. Accepting Rune's proposal was simply going with the flow.
If Rune is lying, then this team can at least still be an important tool for maintaining world peace. But if Rune is right, then they will need to come to the aid of other universes.
Rune didn't know how to build a well-trained army, so he handed over all the authority to Deathstroke, who was smart enough to take on the task of building an army.
The world is much more peaceful in The Boys. Starlight and Queen Maeve have taken over the America that had been reduced to scorched earth, and the resources they obtained in exchange for Compound V and Runes are more than enough to support the reconstruction of the new world.
Rune had initially thought the Forsaken would launch a counterattack and re-invade the universe, but it turned out they only sent a few robots to scout ahead and did nothing else.
Perhaps the Forgotten Ones had already reverse-engineered and developed Compound 5, so they didn't care about this universe trial?
Or perhaps this universe has been destroyed, leaving nothing for beings of higher dimensions to notice, which is why there has been no counterattack?
Rune wasn't sure which reason it was. If it was the latter, he wanted to know why the universe hadn't been destroyed, and why Starlight, Queen Maeve, and the others hadn't become Forgotten Ones.
The Forsaken are generated endlessly, and even Rune can barely protect himself in their presence. However, if he can regain the "attention" of these Forsaken, even if it is only a portion of them, then that portion of the Forsaken will become his friends.
This is the real solution to the problem of the forgotten.
Unfortunately, Rune doesn't yet have a way to turn the Forgotten back into ordinary people, or even a clue, so the two sides can only kill each other.
Perhaps, solving this problem is the reason I came to this universe and obtained the system?
Rune was somewhat uncertain; perhaps his birth originated from something mysterious, such as the Forgotten Ones or the World Consciousness.
A few days later, Doctor Fate came to Rune, looking exhausted, and asked why Constantine had withdrawn from the magical reform. Rune told him the truth.
Kent sighed, "Perhaps I misjudged him. In this respect, in this insistence on justice, I am not as good as him."
"Oh? It sounds like you're also very unhappy with what I did?"
Kent shook his head. "No, even I wouldn't have a better solution in this situation. I just—"
. '
He sat down, pulled a glass of wine from thin air, and said, "If what you say is true, Constantine's actions might have cost many more lives. But if you're wrong, how will posterity record our history?"
"Magic magic?" Rune casually offered a hypothesis, "The alarm clock people might call me the Qin Shi Huang of the magic world."
"Hahaha, very interesting, Rune, very interesting." Kent feigned laughter, then paused for a moment. "They summoned Faust, I don't know if the Demon Lord will also join the battle—"
"Leave it to me, Kent. You can leave everything to me," Rune said softly.
The Demon Lord is an ancient being who manipulates dark magic and is the mortal enemy of Doctor Fate. He even killed the first Sandman.
Of course, this Sandman is not Morpheus, but Wesley Dodges, a lucky guy who accidentally absorbed a sliver of Morpheus's soul, which allowed him to enter a dream state and predict the future through dream interpretation.
He was a brilliant chemist and inventor who created a weapon capable of turning people into silicon-based life forms, but aside from that, Wesley had no superpowers, no extraordinary physical abilities, and no magical powers.
Even so, the Demon Lord is still a very powerful being.
"I just wanted to make sure you knew this, Rune." Kent stood up again, but looked exhausted, overwhelmed by what he had done to Zatanna about Rune and the recent reforms.
For the sake of the entire wizarding world, and to atone for the crimes Naboo committed by manipulating his body, Kent is constantly pushing himself to the limit. He hasn't slept for three days, which is far too harsh for a wizard.
"The conservatives have set the final battle at the site of the Tower of Destiny, and the time is tomorrow. It seems they want to settle things with one decisive blow, but there must be a trap. I know Faust too well, so please be careful."
Yes, there's definitely a problem. No mage wants to fight at a magical node. While it may be filled with enough magic to enhance their spells, it's like smoking in a gas station—one wrong move and the whole place explodes.
This is clearly not normal, which is why Kent gave this warning.
As a master of dark magic, Faust has many ways to gain great power, but all of this requires a sufficiently powerful energy source.
"I've got it, but that's none of your concern. Just tell all the reformers—that's the name of our organization, right?" Rune continued after Kent nodded, "I'll face them alone tomorrow; they don't need to worry about me."
Before Kent could speak, Rune continued, "I need a crushing battle to completely destroy the confidence of those conservatives and strip them of their motivation to resist. Moreover, this will minimize the losses of mages as much as possible."
After glancing at Kent, Rune continued, "I know some people think I'm only doing this magical reform for myself, but I can tell you very clearly, and to all those who doubt me, that everything I've done is for the sake of world peace."
"This world needs enough spellcasters to deal with the catastrophe to come. I will not allow mages who should be protectors of the world to die in a meaningless civil war!"
