Chapter 397 You should be glad you don't look like Gal Gadot
Although Rune was moving at full speed, when he arrived at the Hall of Sin, the Crime Syndicate was rushing to enter the portal.
Fortunately, because of their competition, the gate to the other world remained open. Rune had a chance to try his luck; he used shapeshifting magic to transform the table in the center of the Hall of Sin into a spear, and then hurled it with all his might.
Although the spear had pierced the blue-white passage and the outcome was nowhere in sight, Rune had not forgotten his fundamental purpose: to enter the new world.
So, using shapeshifting, he detached his arm at the last moment before the door closed and threw it into the portal.
This move is risky because Rune has no idea whether he can control his arm across dimensions. Rune's healing factor comes entirely from Wolverine; while Logan has an extremely strong healing factor, he cannot regenerate severed limbs.
Therefore, once contact is lost, Rune's arm cannot heal itself; he can only restore it through magical means. This is estimated to take at least a week.
During this period, Rune's combat power will inevitably decrease.
Rune somewhat regretted why he hadn't used Deadpool's blood for bloodline fusion back then, but it only lasted for a moment, really only for a moment.
Deadpool's healing factor is similar to Wolverine's, but perhaps due to a combination of the healing factor and cancer, Deadpool's healing factor far surpasses Wolverine's.
The problem is that this ability comes at the cost of leaving scars on every inch of the body, similar to acid corrosion or burns.
Rune speculated that it was because the healing factor was keeping Deadpool in his original form and constantly killing the cancer cells that were trying to grow. If the healing factor really only had the function of healing, then Wolverine and other healing ability users would have become mountains of flesh long ago.
Furthermore, Deadpool's greatest power—his conceptual-level immortality—comes from Thanos's curse. This is not a power that can be obtained through bloodline fusion.
Moreover, Rune wasn't sure if his face would turn into a rotten avocado after receiving Deadpool's blood, so he only felt regret for a few seconds before realizing that his initial decision was absolutely correct.
There are plenty of people with healing abilities; at worst, they can undergo more bloodline fusions. Why would anyone want to become as ugly as Deadpool just for the ability to regenerate limbs?
Fortunately, even after traversing worlds, Rune still retained control over his limbs, so he continued to manipulate his arms to cast spells.
Although puzzled as to why there was resistance, and as the resistance intensified over time, Rune still managed to complete the spell.
When traveling between dimensions, one can see all sorts of wondrous sights. From the mage's perspective, multicolored black and multicolored white can coexist, and all sorts of twisted and strange creatures will look at them curiously—if they have eyes, for example.
In the DC universe, there exists a protective mechanism called the Origin Wall, which is responsible for separating all universes within DC.
Anything in the universe that comes into contact with it will be stuck to the wall and fall into a vegetative state.
Rune believes this is why he could only travel through the universe using his consciousness before he gained the Phantom Cat ability.
If this reason is indeed true, then it at least suggests that the entity behind this system is not much stronger than Peppertua. This is because the true purpose of the Wall of Origin is to seal Peppertua, the creator of the multiverse.
In a short time, Rune crossed the barrier between worlds and arrived in another universe. He saw the Justice League, the Dark Justice League, and the remnants of the Crime Syndicate.
However, the latter is now left with only an outsider.
"Hello." Rune greeted the others with a smile, trying to demonstrate his friendliness. He didn't yet know whether this universe was the main universe or some strange universe, but it was always good to show goodwill first.
Perhaps it was because he had met the real Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman that Rune was in a good mood. As for the Dark Justice League—
Zha Kang's existence made him subconsciously ignore this organization.
Rune was indeed quite happy, but that didn't mean the other superheroes were in a good mood. Before this, most of them had already been prejudiced by outsiders' words and regarded Rune as a dangerous wizard.
At this moment, the Justice League members were watching him warily.
The monks were relatively calm; they all understood that they couldn't be swayed by one-sided opinions, because any monk who dared to do such a thing was dead.
But superheroes are different, especially Green Lantern Hal and Aquaman. These two love getting fired up and are always ready to take on any challenge. Even if they can't win, there's always the invincible Superman and his external brain, Batman!
Fortunately, Wonder Woman, who was closer to the sorcerer, wasn't a fool. She spoke first, "Listen, outsider sorcerer, put down your weapons and don't move!"
After all, she was a woman blessed by Athena, and her intelligence was among the best in the Justice League.
"Alright, alright," Rune replied with a smile, "but I don't have any weapons on me."
Wonder Woman blushed, realizing she'd been exposed. "But your hands can cast spells, so raise them up so we can all see them!"
Rune did as instructed.
"You should be glad you don't look like Gal Gadot," the monk said.
Batman, who had been lurking in the shadows for some time, twitched his ears and made his signature move: he narrowed his eyes and casually rubbed his chin, which resembled his buttocks.
I need to go back and find out who this so-called Gal Gadot is.
Rune's cooperation relieved Wonder Woman. Although she didn't know who the name he was referring to was, at least the sorcerer didn't resist.
The outsider's heart clenched. He didn't have the superpowers of the other crime syndicate members; he was just an ordinary person and couldn't leave the scene quickly. Moreover, the other crime syndicate members showed no intention of taking him with them.
He had also seen the video of Rune executing Johnny Quick and Atom Girl. This mage not only tortured the couple with magic, but also killed them and destroyed their spirits. Outsiders would rather die than fall into Rune's hands.
But once Rune answers their questions, the Justice League will realize that he and the other members of the Crime Syndicate are the real evil ones, and he will eventually be handed over to this cruel sorcerer.
Outsiders are mistaken. He's most likely to be imprisoned in Gotham's Blackgate prison by Batman, after all, he's Alfred from another world. And if Batman really did that, Rune would only show respect.
Outsider is a complete idiot. Given Blackgate's escape rate, he'll be released by some Gotham freak in a few days and then face mentally ill people like the Joker or Two-Face.
Guess what kind of treatment other mentally ill people would receive if they knew that the Outsider was Alfred from another world? Anyway, if Rune knew, he would definitely die much slower than if he fell into his hands.
But the outsider had no idea about any of this; he just wanted to get away from there as quickly as possible.
At this critical moment of life and death, the outsider's mind began to race. Then, a brilliant idea struck him: if he could simply muddy the waters and get both sides fighting, he could escape.
But how do you get Rune to fight alongside the superheroes of this universe?
His eyes lit up, and an idea came to him.
"Oh no!" he suddenly shouted, then pretended to be dazed and turned to crash into a tree trunk.
