American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 220 Oh no! Clark's identity has been exposed!

Rune wasn't afraid at all; at worst, he'd just end up living in the Marvel universe next door. Don't be fooled by how simple it seemed, just because he opened a dimensional portal.

However, in reality, very few people can open portals that can cross multiple dimensions like him. This is a conclusion he reached after communicating with Doctor Strange.

He was about to say something when Hecate interrupted him.

"Don't worry, even if you slapped me before, I won't hurt you," Hecate laughed, seemingly unperturbed by Rune. She reached out and stroked Rune's face, whispering, "What a beautiful face. You're much prettier than Hades."

Then, she stepped directly into the portal. Rune did not close it, but listened quietly to the pleas for mercy and roars on the other side. Hecate, who had been betrayed before, was now betrayed again. Her anger was unimaginable. If Cersei could still escape the threat of death with sweet words before, Hecate, who had now listened to Rune's advice, would never let Cersei live.

It is known that Hecate granted Cersei magic and immortality, but now that Hecate has taken back her blessing, Cersei can only watch helplessly as her body deteriorates. Her delicate skin quickly transforms into an ominous creature covered with wrinkles of aging. Under Hecate's gaze, Cersei transforms from a beauty into dust flying in the wind within seconds, further illustrating the meaning of the term "pink skull."

Hecarim has returned, and a glowing symbol now adorns her head, seemingly containing countless magical mysteries.

The whole thing was finally over, and Rune breathed a sigh of relief.

No, no, no, it's not over at all.

"Why do you want to stay here?" Rune looked helplessly at the goddess of magic, while Hecate looked around Rune's workshop with the curiosity of a child.

Hecate, on the contrary, retorted confidently, "Of course it's because I have nowhere to stay! In that case, why can't you take me in?"

Is this even human language?

Looking at Raven, who was hiding behind him in a huff, Rune felt a little helpless. To be honest, it's certainly pleasing to the eye to have a beautiful girl and a mature woman in the house, but what if the two have some conflicts? Now Raven doesn't want to go to Scarlet Witch's class anymore.

Rune could only rub the raven's head, a gesture that usually made the raven obedient, but this time it was unusually ineffective. And what was even more terrifying was that Clark walked in at this moment.

"Runn, it's almost time to go train with Steve. When are we leaving?" Clark pushed open the door, skipping along as he walked, clearly in a very good mood until he saw the woman in front of him.

"This is..." He squinted, asking suspiciously, "This is your newly made puppet?"

Frankly speaking, this could be taken as a compliment. Rune's puppets are all stunningly beautiful, so Clark's words could be interpreted as him saying Hecate is beautiful.

But Hecate knew nothing of this, so she simply glared at Clark and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

You unreasonable Kryptonian!

When Hecate uttered those words, Rune's heart skipped a beat. Clark looked at the woman with confusion, then pointed to himself: "What kryptonite? I'm sorry, it was my mistake to mistake you for magic, but could you please say again who I am?"

Hecate was taken aback; she hadn't expected someone to be so polite. Currently, her perception of other creatures was that they were shameless...

"A lowly and rude creature." After a moment, Hecate calmly said, "You are a Kryptonian, without a doubt."

Kryptonians may have come into contact with supernatural forces like magic, especially for a space colony that once waged wars across the universe. Unless they were exposed to the light of a star containing magic, Superman did absorb the energy of a magical sun in DC Comics. As a result, he lost his super strength, super intelligence, and other superpowers, but gained the ability to summon swords and teleport.

Therefore, Hecate knew that it wouldn't be difficult for Kryptonians to even recognize them at a glance.

"Kryptonians? Is that the name of some ethnic group? Like—um, Native Americans?" Clark blinked and asked calmly. His gaze toward Rune was filled with a strange emotion, which made Rune feel a little guilty—he hadn't done anything to wrong Clark except for using Clark's blood to perform a magical beast bloodline fusion.

"No, you're an alien." Hecate shrugged, then looked at Rune. "Didn't you tell him? I mean, you humans seem to value this quite a bit, right?"

Rune didn't reply. He watched Clark leave quietly and instinctively sensed that something was wrong, so he could only chase after him and grab Clark's clothes.

"What do you want, Clark?"

"I want to go ask my parents." Clark didn't turn around; he took several deep breaths before finally finishing the sentence.

"No need, Clark, no need." Rune loosened his clothes and grabbed Clark's arm instead. He could feel a tremendous force coming from Clark, who was walking forward with determination. Rune had to use all his strength to stop him.

"Calm down!" Rune said loudly and helplessly, "Listen to me first—"

Clark turned and shouted, "Me, calm down? What am I calming down about? You know, right? You've always known I'm an alien—that's why Mom and Dad are so lenient with you. They never hit you, never scold you, and they don't even care if you go to class today! Rune, it's all because you're an Earthling!"

Clark was in tears, clearly unable to remain calm. The sudden realization that he was an alien and definitely not his parents' biological child caused him immense pain, but his words still angered Rune.

Snapped!

Rune slapped Clark hard across the face, the second time he had hit someone that day, while Hecate, who had come to watch the show, silently made a celebratory gesture.

Oh no! That's it, let him taste the flavor of Rune's slap too!

"Clark, if you really think that way, then I'll be very disappointed!" Rune glared angrily at Clark, grabbed his collar, and shouted, "You really think they love me more?"

Clark violently flung Rune's hands away, his anger blazing, tears still glistening in his eyes, yet his gaze was now a blinding red: "Isn't that right? You should have known about my past all along, shouldn't you?"

The superpower of super intelligence began to operate continuously. Clark, who had previously relied on Rune's wisdom, finally started to use his brain. He thought of Rune's expression when Hecate said that she was not a Kryptonian: Rune had known all along that he was not from Earth. He had known all along.

"Mom and Dad would rather tell you than tell me directly." Clark glared angrily at Rune, as if venting all his resentment: "You still dare to say that Mom and Dad love me more?"
