Chapter 430 Major Event: Pseudo-Multi-Dimensional Invasion (Part Two)
What fell from the dark clouds was not water at all, but liquid dark magic, and as soon as it landed, it rendered many superheroes unable to fight.
Rune had no idea how his magical surge would manifest, so he did not equip the heroes with magic-resistant gear that covered their entire bodies, resulting in a large number of non-combat casualties on the battlefield.
At first, some superheroes thought it was just rain, their eyes fixed on the undulating earth around them and in the distance.
But Constantine sensed something was wrong, or rather, all the spellcasters noticed the problem.
"Watch out for raindrops!"
"Doctor Fate!" the doctor shouted, while desperately casting spells to block the rain from the sky, but it was too late. Many heroes had already been struck by the rain.
"No, no, no, no, no!" a male superhero cried out in terror. "It's drilling into me! It hurts so much! Someone, please help me—"
The spellcasters had no time to deal with him; they had to build a strong enough defense first, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
So, to the astonishment of the others, countless tiny creatures seemed to wriggle beneath the skin of the male superhero's arm, and his muscular physique began to twitch and twist unnaturally.
The superhero's skin began to change color and thicken, his nails grew longer and curved, and in a very short time they turned into sharp claws that gleamed with a cold light.
"Kill me now, hurry!"
This superhero understood that he couldn't get any help, and he could only hope that other superheroes would kill him to avoid too many casualties.
But Professor X's words echoed in the minds of him and all the superheroes around him: "No, just knock them out. Don't forget the backup plan we made with Rune."
Rune had no idea how his magical outburst would manifest, so he made several contingency plans, including a solution for what would happen if the superheroes were affected by the transformation spell and turned into monsters.
The solution, of course, is to knock them unconscious. Once Rune wakes up, the superheroes who were turned into monsters will naturally be turned back to their original forms.
In the Harry Potter world, some transfiguration abilities are indeed permanent, such as the creation of the five-legged monster, but Rune's magic and knowledge clearly exceed the scope of the Harry Potter world.
So even if these superheroes really do turn into five-legged monsters, Rune is still confident he can turn them back into normal people.
The superheroes who were still conscious immediately found their leader and began to take action, knocking out the heroes around them who had been touched by the raindrops.
However, this behavior also forced them to ignore the undulations of the ground in the distance and focus on everything in front of them.
The heroes who were touched by the raindrops turned into all sorts of things.
They witnessed firsthand werewolves, bear-men, and even terrifying monsters that were half-bat and half-human—some of the victims even lost their minds quickly after being soaked by too much rain and ended up fighting with the other superheroes.
Fortunately, not too many superheroes lost their minds, and they also lost their original superpowers, so the superheroes were still able to barely subdue their colleagues who were soaked by the rain.
Even after these superheroes, now turned into monsters, were bound by colorful objects, they still managed to roar loudly.
After analyzing the brainwaves, Professor X sighed helplessly. Just a moment of carelessness had resulted in the loss of 30% of their fighting strength.
And unfortunately, several famous superheroes were among those on the list of casualties, including Black Bolt and Tetanus.
Black Bolt, in particular, is one of the superheroes' trump cards in dealing with this incident, thanks to his unique abilities.
"Oh my god, I really hope this is just a dream!" Dr. Banner said, half relieved and half helpless. If he had transformed into the Hulk earlier, he might already be corrupted by the liquid magic.
Tony sighed, watching the little monster leap off him, its claws outstretched. Even though he had overestimated Rune's strength as much as possible, but—
Even his armor, which is already covered with anti-magic modules, can be affected? This is too outrageous! Could it be that when I asked Rune to use his full strength, Rune gave me face?
After defeating the little monster with a casual strike, Tony's silver-white mech armor quickly covered his entire body, but it did not provide him with any sense of security.
The other superheroes, looking at their trapped comrades who had transformed into various monsters, felt a sense of relief. At least they hadn't turned into that form yet.
Soon, the spellcasters, braving the corrosive effects of the liquid magic, added a "big umbrella" to the other superheroes to prevent further non-combat casualties.
"I've never been this tired before," Doctor Fate said with a wry smile, and the other spellcasters nodded in agreement.
Unlike unclaimed magic that could be easily taken by other mages, this massive amount of liquid magic falling from the sky contained Rune's terrifying willpower, coupled with its inherent dark magical properties—
To put it another way, this liquid magic is like concentrated sulfuric acid. If the spellcasters dare to relax even slightly and fail to repair the umbrella, the magic rain will easily break through the protective shield created by all the spellcasters.
Therefore, the spellcasters are well aware of the situation, and some of them are tasked with protecting the protective umbrella above their heads.
Before anyone else could speak, Wang volunteered, "I'll take care of maintaining this shield, but I need three other powerful spellcasters to help me uphold the magical protection."
As a Kamar-Taj sorcerer, he was well aware of the magical knowledge needed to protect the Earth, and now, as the Sorcerer Supreme, the King conceived of using three powerful sorcerers as humanoid sanctuaries to resist the endless liquid magic.
Upon hearing this, Zatanna took the first step.
"I'm old and useless, but I can still serve as firewood—I think I'm barely qualified," the old wizard Shazam said, a smile on his face.
The last one to emerge was Ororo. Although she is best known as an Omega mutant, this woman is also a powerful white mage whose magic symbolizes life and purity.
Magik, Colossus's sister, escaped from the borders of Hell thanks to Ororo's magic, which is why Magik idolizes Ororo.
Wang nodded, gave Doctor Fate a deep look, and then began to command the other three powerful mages.
At this moment, the shaking of the ground not far away began to intensify.
thump thump————
A soft, muffled sound came from beneath the earth, like someone knocking on a door with their knuckles. Then the sand rippled slightly, so slightly that it was almost an illusion.
But the next moment, a small clump of sand slid away, revealing what lay beneath—a chitinous shell that emanated a smooth, dull, and ominous luster, as if soaked in oil.
