Chapter 446 DC is too dark!
Snapped!
"You idiot! Get out of here!" Zatanna wanted to curse, but she was well-mannered and couldn't bring herself to say something like "get out of here" in front of so many superheroes.
After a brief scuffle, when Zatanna turned around, Raven, Scarlet Witch, and Old Shazam were already gone.
"It's all your fault!" Zatanna was furious.
Constantine, however, maintained an innocent expression, pretending that none of this concerned him. He failed to notice that after he uttered the word "while it's hot," everyone around him immediately took a step back, clearing a space around him.
Wolverine turned his back, pretending he didn't recognize him.
But this is one of Constantine's unique persuasive techniques. Indeed, his sharp language and sarcastic tone are often misunderstood, but that's not his fault.
Constantine came from a working-class family. His mother died in childbirth, and his father resented him and often beat him. As he grew up, he frequented bars and even formed a band playing punk rock, which gave him a sharp tongue.
But hidden within those vulgar jokes is a clever man's self-deprecation. Ironically, Constantine's closest friend is not a sorcerer, nor a swamp monster, but a taxi driver named Chase Chandler.
Constantine envied this ordinary man; as an ordinary person, Chandler was Constantine's...
The last and most solid connection to the "normal world".
When he returned from that gloomy, terrifying hell, he would always order a drink and listen to Chandler complain to him about how terrible the weather was and how bad the traffic was.
This made Constantine realize that he had finally returned to the human world. Chandler, however, did not know that these trivial matters in life often helped him understand what he was fighting for.
This insignificant character would occasionally use his simple values to stir Constantine's already numb conscience.
Look, Constantine is such a rebellious guy. He's a sorcerer but unwilling to cast spells, a superhero but prefers to mingle with ordinary people.
This guy, who has never gotten out of his rebellious phase, would just laugh it off even when he sees the reactions of other superheroes.
They only saw their own filth, but failed to see that they had persuaded a white-robed sorcerer who wanted to show off her abilities, thus saving her life.
Constantine had seen many monsters: First Fallen Ones, Doctor of Fate, Lucifer—but the one that impressed him the most was Rune.
He initially thought Rune was a reincarnated white mage, but Rune defeated Doctor Fate before he even reached adulthood. After switching to black magic, his strength increased even more rapidly.
Even now, Doctor Fate cannot defeat the opponent's puppet.
Constantine knew the other person wasn't a bad person, but the dark magic always made him wary.
Yes, yes, Constantine certainly knew that Zatanna came from a distinguished family, was very knowledgeable, and even had a good relationship with Rune, but the girl was too young and her potential had not yet been realized. She was simply no match for Rune—not even for him when he was unconscious.
If Rune hasn't woken up yet, Zatanna might die inside.
As for why he didn't stop the raven and his group—that's simple.
Although Constantine didn't know the Scarlet Witch's origins, even Rune had warned him not to provoke that beauty, and Constantine himself could see the terrifying magic within her.
This woman seems capable of protecting herself.
Shazam was famous long ago and is a mage who has lived for thousands of years, so his strength is beyond question.
The only relatively weak one is Raven, but Raven is always with Rune, and they're only a few years away from getting married, so even if Rune doesn't come to his senses, he probably won't hurt her.
Don't think Constantine didn't see it. While the other heroes were fighting to the death with the puppets, what about Raven? Raven's opponent was an old man who wanted to share gummy bears with everyone!
If this old man were his match, Constantine was certain he'd beat the old man named Dumbledore to a pulp within three moves. And don't think he only bullies the elderly; Constantine is also adept at attacking children.
call--!
Constantine ignored Zatanna, who was glaring at him, and exhaled a smoke ring. Oh dear, another day of doing good deeds anonymously.
This pit, corroded by the power of runes, is almost bottomless, and the surrounding dark magic makes the environment unusually gloomy.
"It feels like going to hell." Looking at the terrifying scenery around her, the Scarlet Witch couldn't help but sigh.
As a former member of the Avengers and one of the few sorcerers in the entire Marvel universe, she has not only been to Mephisto's hell, but has also witnessed Hela's hell.
But the most oppressive place was the one that Rune had unintentionally created.
Old Shazam glanced at Scarlet Witch and said, "The nature of the magic within you is similar to that of runes."
"Teacher, have you ever been to hell?" Raven asked in confusion.
"Of course, it wasn't a pleasant experience," the Scarlet Witch nodded. "But I haven't been to the hell of this world yet, so I don't know if Satan is here."
"Of course he has, but he just stepped down recently and went back to being himself," Old Shazan added.
Then the three of them started talking about hell in a strange way. Old Shazam talked about hell in the DC universe, while Scarlet Witch introduced hell in her own universe. Raven was not afraid at all and listened with great interest.
Soon, they reached the bottom of the pit, where liquid lava still flowed, but there was no sign of anyone. Seeing this, Old Shazam's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Rune has been swallowed by the lava and his remains have vanished without a trace?
He then began using magic to search through the lava, poking and prodding here and there.
The Scarlet Witch and the Raven were also searching carefully, but after a period of searching, the three wizards found nothing.
"How could this happen?" Raven was so anxious he was about to cry, while Scarlet Witch began to use her chaotic magic to dig deep into the ground, trying to find Rune.
Upon seeing this, Shazam hesitated for a long time before asking, "Um, could it be that the rune has already sunk into the lava lake—and is dead?"
"That's impossible!" The Scarlet Witch reflexively denied it, believing she knew Rune's physical strength very well and that even if she died, Rune wouldn't die.
But then I thought of that towering pillar of light—
This doesn't seem right, does it? It looks like magic was released in an instant. Since a lot of magic was lost, can the mage himself still survive?
The Scarlet Witch's mood turned somber. She was unaware that Rune's physical strength was increasing day by day, especially after merging with the bloodline of Doomsday, where his abilities were rising steadily.
She didn't think Rune would be burned to death by these lava lakes, but it wasn't impossible for him to be reduced to ashes by the out-of-control magic. After all, that magic had only been withstood by the combined efforts of multiple powerful defensive arrays—
The raven cried out, "Impossible! Rune is powerful; he can't be dead!"
However, the other two mages exchanged glances and remained silent for a moment. Then, the Scarlet Witch, who was closer to the Raven, said, "Yes, let's go out first and then search the rest of the planet."
That being said, the Scarlet Witch knew that this was just an excuse.
This is where the magic erupted; Rune is most likely here. If they can't find the mage here, Rune is probably doomed.
But the Scarlet Witch couldn't bear to tell Raven directly that she and this girl had spent a long time together, and although they were master and apprentice, they were more like friends.
Unable to bear seeing her cry, Wanda could only find an excuse to take her upstairs first.
Shazam, standing to the side, sighed inwardly.
This is the fate of mages in this world.
