American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 262 Rune: Let's do something big!

By utilizing the multiverse's ability to bless his subordinates, Rune can gain an almost unlimited amount of mana regeneration through the Devouring Spell. While Rune could be selfish and use this mana to become stronger, the price would be a crisis of trust for the network of connections he has built in this universe and the Doomsday Ticket project.

He certainly wouldn't do something stupid.

Rune took a deep breath, and with the help of magic, his clothes began to move without wind. Extremely terrifying magic power began to gather around him, and this violent fluctuation of magic power also affected reality. A tornado that could be seen with the naked eye began to form, and Rune's eyes, like burning stars, revealed a purplish-black light.

Before him lay a giant human Rubik's Cube. Due to the hasty fusion, some parts were still struggling. Some of them were once heroes of this universe, whose great deeds would even Batman admire. Others were villains of this universe, whose evil hearts would even move Darkseid.

But at this moment, they were twisted into a hexagonal cube, struggling, their muscles and fat churning, causing the profane object to appear to boil.

Hela and Mephisto had already retreated solemnly behind Rune. They sensed the extremely terrifying magical power emanating from him, and the magic he was about to unleash was destined to be utterly evil.

Digesting such a terrifying object was quite difficult, so Rune had to chant the incantation aloud and use special hand gestures to guide the enormous magical power, even though this devouring magic had been improved by Rune—in this universe, no one was more skilled than him in this more insidious incantation.

When Rune cast spells like a normal wizard, he even felt a pang of nostalgia—it had been a long time since he had needed any other means of assistance with casting spells.

The magic materialized before the other two's astonished eyes, enveloping the cube like countless octopus tentacles. In that instant, a one-sided battle began between Rune and the multi-horned avatar.

The Multihorned One sensed that countless favored beings were enduring extremely terrible pain, including his most valued Marville. Thus, a large amount of blasphemous magic was poured into this human cube, while Rune was also injecting dark magic into the human cube, doing his best to digest the blasphemous power.

If Rune had recklessly absorbed so much magic power from the Horned Ones from the beginning, he would have been assimilated into their ranks. But he wasn't trying to directly absorb their magic power; he was merely acting as a transit point.

Under Rune's will, magic flowed into the earth.

"Give me—" Rune shouted, "Get up!"

A deep, terrifying sound came from the depths of the earth's crust, as if something was awakening. The earth began to tremble, mountains collapsed with mournful cries, and seawater poured into the abyss formed by the cracks in the earth. Under the watchful eyes of Mephisto and Hela, Rune's magic, like billions of black roots, burrowed into every inch of soil and every rock of the cancerous earth, while his indestructible and unquestionable will was twisting, reshaping, and even giving life to the earth.

Then, the earth's crust rose, tectonic plates tore apart, and the twisted, fleshy forest was swallowed by the spewing lava. The other cancerous creatures, which Rune didn't even bother to pay attention to, were screaming loudly—they were personally experiencing the destruction of their world. However, the initiator was not having an easy time either.

Rune's body began to change—purple-black veins appeared beneath his skin, his pupils began to crystallize, and immense magical power flowed continuously within his body. The heroes and villains who had previously been twisted into human cubes finally found an outlet for their retaliation. They began to try to corrupt Rune, wanting him to submit to the Multihorned One and become the henchman of this god who devoured the entire universe.

Even the Three Palaces couldn't subdue me, so what about you guys?

Rune thought this through gritted teeth, then used his will and magic to begin defeating the wills of the other beings within the Cosmic Cube one by one. Meanwhile, in reality, the entire continent writhed, its rock layers matting like fibrous tissue. To the astonished eyes of the other two…

The head of a colossal creature is rising from the ocean—it is so large that it is almost impossible to see its entirety with the naked eye.

The giant began to shake his body, trying to break free from the cancerous universe Earth. His shaking triggered violent tsunamis and earthquakes, and his ascent stripped away almost a quarter of the soil and rock from the entire cancerous Earth. At this moment, the avatar of the multi-horned one offered up his true form.

The other party was also a huge creature. It seemed to have drained all the energy from the Earth's core. Like an octopus, it was coiled in an extremely twisted posture at the very center of the Earth, and the open mouth of the entire cancerous Earth was made up of its countless tentacles.

At that very moment, an ordinary person in another normal universe also saw that indescribable god.

What exactly was it? They couldn't even describe what they saw, let alone count the number of those indescribable vesicles, mouthparts, amputations, and tentacles, but they all agreed that they would never see anything more mad and bizarre in their lives.

Meanwhile, Doctor Strange, who was at the Sanctuary in New York, was completely bewildered.

Damn, how did it get so big?

Doctor Strange was frustrated, but he had no time to hesitate. He contacted the wizards of the other two Sanctums through magic and shouted, "Hold the line! Activate the shields!"

The New York Sanctuary was the first to respond. Wang had already led the other mages to activate defensive magic. A golden light screen instantly shot into the sky, and countless ancient characters intertwined in the sky to form a huge shield. The shield made a hissing sound the moment it appeared, but this was just mental pollution unintentionally released by the Multihorned One.

Subsequently, the London Sanctuary and the Hong Kong Sanctuary followed suit. With the activation of the protection of the three sanctuaries, the entire structure of Earth's reality was re-anchored and completely stabilized. The crystallization of the wisdom of countless ancestors completely protected the entire Earth. From the perspective of mortals, the Earth was wrapped in a golden cocoon.

But Doctor Strange had already seen through Rune's intentions, and he dared not stop giving orders. The enormous giant, made of a quarter of the cancerous earth, was about to awaken, and he would surely step on the Earth in the normal universe.

What a madman! He actually wants to mimic Atlas's feat in Greek mythology, holding up the entire Earth, or even the entire cancerous universe, single-handedly to buy time.

"Everyone, we can't let each other down!"

Doctor Strange raised his arms and shouted, and the other sorcerers joined in the shouting, but Wong cautiously asked, "How can we sustain a quarter of the Earth?"
