American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 270 The Raven's Little Thoughts

Mephisto noticed the abnormality in Rune's eyes. Despite the raging black magic within his body, the widening wound on his chest, and the agonizing pain contorting his expression, he still managed a ferocious grin, mocking, "Haha—you're committing suicide, Rune! If this continues, not only will your eyes turn to ashes, but your head will too!"

Rune didn't answer; he simply increased his output.

The brightness of the magical shockwave surged once more, Mephisto's chest began to crumble, and the form of the Hell Lord was ravaged by the magical shockwave.

Like a wax figure melting under intense heat, his screams turned into inhuman shrieks. The pain was unbearable. The dark magic within Mephisto continued to increase, like spider venom trying to digest him.

Just as Mephisto thought he could wear Rune down, a girl emerged from the shadows behind Rune. She looked at Rune with concern, who was concentrating intently and dared not relax for a moment, then glared at Mephisto, and a massive surge of dark magic erupted from her body.

This familiar magic infuriated Mephisto. The dark magic of the two was so similar, and the girl's magic was clearly quite abundant. The two were already at a stalemate, but now that someone with the same magic had suddenly appeared, the delicate balance between them was immediately broken.

Run! We have to run!

Then, countless dimensional rifts reeking of sulfur appeared around him, attempting to pull Mephisto back to Hell for refuge—but the girl suddenly appeared beside Mephisto, and countless dark tentacles emerged from Mephisto's shadow, trying to bind him. However, the girl clearly did not realize how cunning Mephisto was. In the next instant, he escaped the girl's grasp like a snake shedding its skin. Although this meant that the area he was hit on would expand from his chest, Mephisto still successfully hid in a dimensional rift and escaped back to Hell.

Before leaving, he roared, "I'll remember this! You two scoundrels will end up in my hell sooner or later, and then I'll..."

He didn't finish his sentence because of the impact of Rune's magic, and he had to close the dimensional rift.

The final burst of magical energy turned Rune's eyes into two burning charcoal lumps. The girl immediately ran to Rune's side.

They caught him.

"Raven?" Rune asked in surprise. Although he was blind, he could use magic to see the other's appearance.

But hadn't he already persuaded Raven to return to Earth? However, a thought quickly made him realize how Raven had managed to stay by his side all along. She must have been hiding in Rune's shadow.

Rune couldn't help but smile wryly. No wonder it went so smoothly when he persuaded the raven to return to Earth.

"It's me—" Raven's voice trembled slightly: "Your eyes—"

"It's alright." Rune used magic to remove all the charred ashes. He hadn't felt any burning sensation around his eyes before; instead, he felt a cool feeling. But now it hurt and itched terribly. This contradictory feeling made him want to gouge his own eyeballs out, but he resisted. He comforted Raven, saying, "My eyes will regenerate soon."

His regenerative abilities weren't as outrageous as Wolverine's, but regenerating organs like eyes was still a piece of cake. Raven, however, still felt a little sorry for him.

After a short while, the flesh around Rune's eye sockets grew back, but he still couldn't open his eyes—although his physical condition was comparable to that of a Kryptonian, his newly grown eyes were still very delicate and needed half a day to rest.

"I'm counting on you for the rest of the day," Rune said with a smile.

The raven nodded: "Mm."

She was somewhat happy; Rune could only rely on himself now. Feeling Rune's warm arms, Raven couldn't help but hope that her teacher could stay blind forever, so that he could only rely on himself. Rune, of course, was unaware of Raven's thoughts. He used his dark magic to open a portal, sending the huge stone giant into the space he had created. This almost completely depleted Rune's newly recovered magic, making Rune feel nauseous.

After a long while, Rune finally came to his senses and, under the raven's worried gaze, opened the portal.

"Let's go," Rune said, but Raven stopped him as he was about to leave. "What's wrong?"

"I'll put it on you." Raven tore a piece of cloth from her clothes and came to Rune, wrapping it around Rune's eyes. A faint, sweet fragrance emanated from the irregular strip of cloth, almost imperceptible. Rune sensed it, but he pursed his lips, offering no comment, only asking, "Is it done?"

"Alright." Raven tied the bow and looked at Rune with satisfaction. He was still very handsome, and because his eyes were covered, he looked even more mysterious.

Then, in a strange atmosphere, the two walked into the portal.

At this moment, Avengers Tower was brightly lit, with confetti and cheers creating a sea of ​​jubilation. The champagne tower shimmered with golden light under the dazzling lights, a beautiful contrast to the sun, which was already half-submerged below the horizon in the distance.

In the sky, the disappearance of the cancerous Earth brought a sigh of relief to everyone, heroes and villains alike. Whether it was the troubled Iron Man or the other heroes and villains who knew nothing about the future, at least for this moment, they were all completely immersed in joy.

"A salute to our heroes!" Iron Man declared as he stepped onto the stage. He looked at everyone present and absorbed them one by one, including Titania.

Wolverine, Storm - He never imagined he would have a day to celebrate with this group of people, but regardless of the threat of world destruction, whether heroes or villains, they all contributed to their world.

Moved by the moment, Tony continued loudly, "To everyone!"

After saying that, he downed his glass of champagne in one gulp, an act that ignited the atmosphere in the entire venue. The heroes went wild, and the villains, too, were affected by a mix of emotions, such as "I can actually coexist peacefully with these guys," "I can actually be recognized by a positive character like Iron Man," and "I can actually become a hero," and joined in the celebration.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

They cheered loudly.

Even the giant serpent smiled happily. It was an Asgardian tradition to hold a banquet after a victory, and the god of fear was no exception.

Spider-Man and Clark, who were summoned to the party, were also caught up in the atmosphere. Although they still harbored resentment about destroying another Earth, the terrifying creatures of another universe provided these two kind-hearted young men with an excuse to suppress their guilt. Clark, in particular, fell in love with his job after successfully maintaining peace in New York for the first time.

He remembered his mother's words: "You will bring the people of this earth an ideal of striving forward. They will follow behind you, and they will stumble and get hurt. But one day, they will accept you, my son. One day, you will help them find miracles."

Yes, Mom, I did it today!
