Chapter 445 Constantine: While it's hot, it's hot!
Rune and the Sandman didn't have much time to chat.
When conversing with beings of the Endless Family's caliber, Rune could speak freely except about the fact that he himself was a transmigrator. However, he could indeed mention his ability to travel to other universes.
He also used magic to reconstruct the world of The Boys from his memory and told them what happened in that world, while Sandman keenly sensed Rune's intentions.
"You mean—someone might become a traitor?"
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty."
It's human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm, so traitors are definitely one of them. Moreover, both superheroes and supervillains have their own principles. As long as they aren't deceived, some of them might even become members of the future resistance against the Forgotten.
Even if some of the supervillains betray or are manipulated, Rune still has a lot of targeted items.
For example, there's the knuckle duster that can be inlaid with kryptonite, or the Fiendish Curse.
The former counters Kryptonians, while the latter counters Speedsters and Martian Manhunters.
But Rune is afraid that some second- or third-tier heroes or villains will become his enemies. These heroes and villains are not very famous, and their will may not be very firm.
Most importantly, Rune might not even know them, let alone their abilities, making them easy targets for a first-time kill.
Take, for example, the Plastic Man. It sounds like a rather funny name, and many people might think it's just a DC version of Luffy, but in reality, it's a rather terrifying superhero.
The plastic man can control all the molecules in his body, so theoretically he can transform into anything. Even Batman hasn't found a perfect solution; the best he can think of is liquid nitrogen, which he would then hang on a toffee-making machine.
So Bruce finally concluded: Luckily, he's still on our side.
Not only DC, but Marvel also has similar entities, such as the Disciple, who can replicate all abilities and all realities, and thus once defeated the Living Tribunal.
In addition, there's Amorzo, who can also replicate other people's superpowers; Dorothy, who can make fantasies come true; and the Symbol, which symbolizes the destruction of the Marvel multiverse.
These people are clearly just second- or third-tier heroes or villains, but they possess terrifying power, and that's what's truly terrifying.
Therefore, Rune hopes that Morpheus will be able to monitor everyone in their dreams in the future, searching for clues. After all, dreams are a reflection of everyone's subconscious, and very few people can lie in their dreams.
And Morpheus happens to be the dream itself.
"Okay, but I'll only do it three years from now." Morpheus agreed, even though it seemed like an invasion of privacy, he knew the gravity of the matter.
The stability of the entire multiverse is more important than the privacy of some individuals.
Morpheus couldn't help but sigh, which puzzled Rune. "What's wrong?"
"I'm just—, it's still about your friend," Morpheus said. "Constantine—"
His dreams were sometimes so disgusting—”
Rune fell silent.
What kind of dreams does Constantine have? As someone who is indiscriminate in his sexuality and possibly the most knowledgeable about positions in the world, his dreams—uh—
"Thank you for your hard work." Rune patted Morpheus on the shoulder. Constantine could be proud to have such an emotional response from a mere concept. "By the way, could you put me back in the black hole?"
Morpheus blinked.
"Are you a masochist?"
"Where's Rune?" Iron Man asked. At his feet were the three puppets that had turned into mounds of earth. After blocking the towering pillar of light, the remaining puppets had completely vanished.
Tony and the others immediately went to check the place emitting the magic. They all agreed that Rune was at the core of the pillar of light, but when they came to check, they only saw a bottomless pit.
"I'll go down and take a look!"
Clark volunteered, but was stopped by Raven. At this time, Superman was wearing that black armor, which was sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. It was cool enough and had functions such as bulletproof and stretch resistance, but it had no magic resistance.
The amount of dark magic left in that deep pit was ridiculously large. Other mages or superpowered individuals could manage if they entered, but for someone like Clark with low magic resistance, going in would be suicide.
Even mages are unwilling to enter it, such as Constantine.
"I'll go down," Raven said softly.
She considered herself one of the people closest to Rune among all those present, and the intense dark magic made her feel like she was home, without the slightest discomfort.
Logically, after the puppets disintegrated, Rune's magical rampage should have ended, and this mage's "coming-of-age ceremony" has indeed refreshed most superheroes' understanding of mages.
However, none of the other mages present had experience dealing with magical outbursts.
Most sorcerers in the Marvel Universe possess very little magic power, and they have no chance to experience magical outbursts.
Scarlet Witch, on the other hand, has experienced this problem many times. The magic within her is related to Cynthon, but not very much. Her childhood was not happy, so she often experiences magical outbursts.
Her act of wiping out all mutants was essentially a magical rampage, but unfortunately, Scarlet Witch had no experience dealing with such situations.
In the DC Universe, sorcerers are either too young to experience magical outbursts, like Zatanna.
Either their power originates directly from other gods, making their magic extremely stable, like Shazam.
Upon hearing Raven's words, Old Shazam and Scarlet Witch came to Raven's side together.
"Let's go down together." Shazam looked at the soil beneath his feet with a solemn expression. He couldn't understand when such a figure had appeared in the magical world.
When he first met Rune, they only exchanged greetings and didn't have a deep conversation. Doctor Fate himself praised him as the mastermind behind the changes in the magical world, though he was a bit domineering in his actions.
However, Nab's assessment of Rune was somewhat strange. This God of Order praised Rune's generosity but also directly stated that he was ruthless, vindictive, and would inevitably become a destabilizing factor in the magical world in the future.
In any case, his words were a reminder to be careful of Rune, and he even hoped that he could deal with this young mage. However, he was about to die and had to find a kind person to inherit Shazam's power as soon as possible, so he did not listen to his words.
Now it seems Nabu has no good intentions towards me—since Nabu wants me dead, I shouldn't blame him for going to pledge his allegiance first.
The Scarlet Witch patted Raven on the shoulder. This witch's power also came from a dark god, so she was naturally not afraid of the interference of dark magic. Moreover, she was Raven's teacher, and it was impossible for her to watch Raven walk into this dangerous place alone.
Although somewhat puzzled as to why Shazam wanted to come along, Raven didn't refuse the mage's invitation.
Zatanna wanted to come along, but was stopped by a man in a yellow trench coat.
"Hey, if you want to die, just say so, don't crawl into a hole!" The man had a frivolous smile on his face and a cigarette dangling from his mouth. He looked nonchalant, and his next words made Zatanna furious.
"Why don't you just smear it on my neck? I can still do it while it's hot."
