American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 264 Stone Giant: Have you eaten? If not, take this punch!

The stone giant rose from the ground, tearing through the atmosphere of the cancerous cosmic Earth. Under Rune's command, he stared intently at the evil beings directly in front of him. Then, with a roar, he turned the cancerous creatures that had flown into space into dust. However, those pathetic beasts did not die completely; they continued to fly towards their destination—another Earth—and even increased their speed.

The multi-horned being emitted a non-human sound, indistinguishable between a scream and a roar, and extended its tentacles to tightly entangle the stone giant. This blasphemous being's tentacles were covered with mouthparts of all sizes, and after entangling the stone giant, it revealed sharp teeth and began to chew, not caring if it was just eating dirt and stones.

However, the stone giant under Rune's control did not sit idly by. Using the force of the tentacles pulling him around, he flew towards the multi-horned avatar and then threw a punch. Under Rune's will, the giant's fist began to grow.

Stone giant, proliferation—these two words seem unrelated, but it happened nonetheless. In reality, it was an illusion created by Rune transferring a portion of the granite from this quarter of the Earth onto the giant's fist. These mineral crystals, hundreds of kilometers long, pierced the stone giant's rocky skin and transformed into countless towering stone spikes.

The blasphemous deity was still attempting to evade by warping space, but Rune easily saw through the opponent's spatial distortion. Then,

This vicious punch landed directly on the body of the multi-horned being's avatar.

The sounds of gurgling and popping echoed, but were blocked by the vacuum of space. The diseased eyeballs and festering bodies on the multi-faceted body burst out one after another, and some tentacles were even smashed by spiked fists. Corrupted blood gushed into space like a tsunami.

The consequences of this punch went far beyond that. The shockwave quickly spread across the Multihorned Avatar and the Earth beneath him. The Multihorned Avatar's body appeared fragile, but in reality, his flesh and blood were remarkably resilient.

However, the cancerous Earth was not so lucky. As if it had been bombarded by countless missiles, violent tsunamis and earthquakes occurred all over the cancerous Earth, and even mountainous areas were submerged by water.

Meanwhile, the already massively depleted, cancerous Earth was struck again, losing countless amounts of surface material. The impact also triggered a chain reaction of volcanic eruptions, with dust almost completely engulfing the remaining cancerous Earth. Life still surviving on the surface of the cancerous Earth began to suffocate due to atmospheric escape and reduced air pressure, but they could not die; they could only endure the agony.

The attack was indeed effective, but the recoil also caused the giant's own arm shell to burst in a ring shape. The flying debris formed a continuously expanding star ring in space. Fortunately, the dissipated energy and flying rocks were blocked by the Sanctuary; otherwise, such an impact would have been almost fatal to another Earth.

The stone giant itself was being propelled toward another Earth by the recoil, but just as it was about to collide, a giant portal appeared, preventing the enormous creature from crashing onto Earth and triggering a catastrophe that would affect countless creatures.

Under Rune's manipulation, the stone giant finally stood up, while the multi-horned being on the other side spread out countless tentacles. This time, after being hurt, the opponent clearly wanted to go all out.

Not long ago, air raid sirens wailed across the entire Earth as those cancerous creatures landed on the planet. However, after passing through the atmosphere's defense mechanisms, these pitiful creatures lost almost all their fighting ability, and even the police were able to defeat these pathetic creations.

Aside from Doctor Strange, who went directly to the Sanctum Sanctorum in New York, the other heroes and villains who returned from the cancerous Earth were now gathered harmoniously in Avengers Tower. Here, they could observe the changes in the cancerous universe from a more comprehensive perspective. With the world on the brink of destruction, almost every living being was cheering for Rune.

With Steve Rogers absent, Iron Man occupies the central position in the hall, constantly operating instruments to ensure that the cameras on other satellites can perfectly observe the changes in another universe.

"Damn it, that boy doesn't seem reliable at all. We're doomed."

The speaker was none other than Namor, the Lord of the Seven Seas, who had previously betrayed the Avengers. This guy had also been persuaded by Doctor Doom.

He joined the attack on the cancerous Earth in the universe, and no one said anything at the time. But his words at this moment caused an uproar among some of the heroes.

"You traitor, you have no right to say Rune is unreliable." The speaker was Wolverine. He was straightforward, and unlike the Avengers, he didn't represent ordinary people. Logan didn't need to worry about affecting the relationship between ordinary people and Atlanteans. Besides, Namor was a mutant, so he had no qualms about cursing Namor.

Storm and Colossus also looked coldly at Namor. They needed to stay at Xavier's Academy of Geniuses, so they didn't participate in the war with Red Skull. But that didn't stop them from hearing the truth from Wolverine, Steve, and others at the victory celebration.

Not only the X-Men members, but Namor's nemesis, Hai Sha, also raised his hammer, glaring menacingly at the ruler of the seven seas. Don't misunderstand, Hai Sha wasn't bursting with righteous indignation and wanting to do justice; he simply wanted to kill Namor and become the ruler of Atlantis.

Magneto sneered. He did indeed share similar ideals with Namor; they both hoped to protect a certain race. However, their cooperation often broke down due to Namor's volatile temper, which made Magneto very unhappy with Namor.

Even S.H.I.E.L.D. listed Namor as a potential threat. However, as a "nuclear threat" to the entire planet, the Avengers could not freely express their opinions and could only coldly observe Namor.

At this moment, Namor glared angrily at the others: "I don't understand, I'm only doing this so that the Atlanteans can live safely, Red Skull, promise me—"

"He promised you, so you're willing to hurt ordinary people for the sake of the Atlanteans, right?" The Invisible Goddess's expression was cold. She had previously harbored a subtle fondness for Namor, but that fondness had vanished. "Have you forgotten that I am also one of those millions of ordinary people?"

This question left Namor speechless. He had to admit that if he were forced to choose between the Invisible Woman and Atlantis, he would almost certainly choose Atlantis. Namor's core position was as the King of Atlantis, and his feelings for the Invisible Woman were mixed with political factors. He hoped to win over the surface forces by marrying the Invisible Woman, rather than it being a pure love between Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman.

Therefore, Namor agreed to Red Ghoul's conditions—Red Ghoul would rule the surface, while Namor himself would rule the seabed. He would exchange the blood of the Avengers for peace for the people of Atlantis.

Namor's only regret was not foreseeing Red Skull's defeat, but since he had chosen a side, he had to bear the consequences of failure. For example, he became the target of everyone's criticism at this time. Not only was the Invisible Woman extremely disappointed in him, but other heroes were also eyeing him covetously.
