Chapter 409 Becoming a Father Unexpectedly?
Cassie took a deep breath. As the second-in-command of the Teen Titans, she knew what to do at this moment.
"We need to buy Raven time, deplete his magic, and distract him—" Cassie assumed a stance reminiscent of ancient Greek martial arts. Clearly, she intended to fight Rune.
As the second-generation Wonder Girl, Cassie's origin story has changed less often. Initially, she was set as the daughter of Zeus, but later she became the granddaughter of Shen, which inexplicably lowered her generational status. However, her abilities have never diminished.
After receiving Zeus's blessing, Cassie gained a physique slightly weaker than Wonder Woman's and was equipped with several artifacts, such as the Atlas Bracers that could amplify strength tenfold and the Hermes Boots that granted the wearer the ability to fly.
Other Amazons also had similar bracers, but most of them did not have divine power, because these bracers were souvenirs worn by Amazons to commemorate their history of being enslaved by Hercules.
Cassie's words clearly ignited the fighting spirit of the other Titans.
Tim drew his long staff; he had almost exhausted his ranged throwing weapons, so now he had to fight hand-to-hand—even though he didn’t actually like it.
Garfield shook his head, trying to clear his head. "I really miss Kid Flash and Superboy."
Both of them he mentioned are current members of the Teen Titans. The former is a member of the Speed Force family, while the latter is the product of the fusion of Lex Luthor and Superman's bloodline, inheriting the Kryptonian physique while also possessing some kind of telepathic ability.
If both of them were still alive, Garfield wouldn't have had to act as a human shield.
Garfield didn't mention Bunker, who is a Mexican whose ability is to manipulate psychic bricks to build defensive walls or offensive structures, and can also transform the bricks into full-body armor.
But he was just an amateur hero and didn't have a close relationship with the other Teen Titans, so Garfield didn't think of him at the moment.
Zamsa and Queen Super exchanged a glance. They knew that they were now in the same boat as the members of the Teen Titans. If they didn't want to be defeated one by one by Rune, then it would be best to face them head-on with the Teen Titans.
Moreover, neither of them ever considered Rune a righteous superhero. What kind of superhero would burn two living people alive and then say they wanted to rule the world?
So in the minds of these two fools, Rune was a mad magician, and anyone who fell into his hands met a bad end.
"Count me in," Zamsa said. Super Queen didn't say much, but she winked at Tim and then walked to the front of the line.
Out of a certain wicked sense of humor, Rune didn't explicitly say that he wasn't the Triple Demon. He simply casually cast the form of Ekron.
With the blessing of magic, subtle fluctuations appeared in the space around Rune, and a black and red magic circle appeared around Rune.
As the magic circle rotated, the mage's figure began to blur, and then several rune clones appeared instantly.
The Form of Ekron is a powerful and complex magic. Its working principle is that the mage uses their own mental power as a blueprint to shape energy from the Ikonni dimension into a perfect replica of themselves.
The mage then infused his battle intentions and action commands into each of his clones through magical links, enabling them to perform independent and coordinated actions.
However, this creates a problem: mages often cannot make their clones too intelligent. Therefore, in movies, clones can only use a few relatively simple spells, and their movements are also rather monotonous.
Fortunately, Rune was able to improve his magic. He not only changed his energy source to himself, but also incorporated shapeshifting into the spell. Therefore, the Ekron form that Rune used was very different from that of other mages.
The clones released through the improved form of Ekron are made more resilient due to the infusion of greater magical power, and more intelligent due to the superior shapeshifting ability.
So, to everyone's astonishment, each rune clone found a separate superhero or supervillain.
"Next, your enemy is me."
Tim gripped the long stick in his hand tightly, then swallowed hard.
Um, why were they fighting Rune? It seems like it was to buy time for Raven, increase the opponent's mana consumption, and distract him—but as it stands now, it seems only increasing his mana consumption has been achieved.
Given the Justice League's current silence, Tim had a bad feeling.
Garfield almost burst into tears.
He was just beaten up by Zansha, and now he has to fight this mage. He's really having a bad day.
"Can I surrender?!" he cried, transforming back into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and charging toward one of Rune's clones.
Cassie pursed her lips. She wasn't good at handling magical events, and her concept of a mage was limited to the image of a strange, robed figure in a computer game who could unleash fireballs.
She grew up in human society and only received training under Artemis. Furthermore, the Justice League has very few mages, making it difficult for her to encounter a true mage.
Rune's clones made her realize one thing: they would all be entangled by Rune's clones, and Raven herself would be forced to face a powerful mage.
If a top-tier young mage like Zatanna knew her thoughts, she might comfort her, since even she had only ever seen such abilities in powerful figures like Doctor Fate.
But none of this could stop Cassie from blaming herself—her decisions might have killed everyone.
What came before the raven was Rune's true form.
As he approached, the beautiful girl in the black robe began to tremble violently, her fear causing her to lose the composure needed to cast her spell.
Rune gently removed her cloak and then ruffled her little head. This gesture excited the other teenage Titans.
"Don't touch her!" Garfield shouted, but his own clone sneered and yanked the red ribbon in his hand, causing the Beast Boy to howl in pain.
Even Beast Boy, who later transformed into alien or mythical beings, met the same fate when facing Rune's clone. If he truly intended to kill, Beast Boy would have been dead long ago.
Tim and Cassie didn't yell or scream; they were just trying to break free from their own rune clones and then go save Raven.
However, even if it were just a clone of Rune, these two Justice League reserves could not match him.
The Rune opposite Cassie is using the Ring of Raghadore and the Sacred Sword of Vishanti to fight her. The clone has inherited some of Rune's abilities and, relying on its beast senses, is actually fighting the Wonder Girl to a standstill.
Tim's personal clone kept lashing out at Tim with a black and red energy whip. With the help of the transformation spell, the trajectory and shape of the energy whip became even more unpredictable. Tim was not good at fighting to begin with, and now he was being beaten so badly that he could hardly bear it.
But he had nothing to complain about; the clones that Super Queen and Zamza faced were far more brutal than those faced by the Titans.
Gravity manipulation, Vatum's wind, Bosat's lightning—all sorts of terrifying spells acted directly on them, and the two who had previously been beating Tim and the others so badly were now screaming in agony.
"Look at your teammates, they're working so hard!"
Rune held the raven's little head and made her look at her teammates.
Since you want to acknowledge this father as your father, then I will be your good dad.
