American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 388 [The Short Husband] Logan and [The Womanizing Wife] Constantine

At this moment, Rune is in his own DC universe, visiting Wolverine.

"I thought this conman would target Li Qianhuan!" Wolverine said, his feet propped up on the table, looking extremely relaxed. Meanwhile, Constantine was wearing an apron and cooking in the kitchen.

In fact, Rune knew to some extent why Constantine was unwilling to harm Li Qianhuan.

If Batman's girlfriends died the most, then Constantine's girlfriends died the most tragically. They were truly killed so badly that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them. After all, Constantine dealt with angels or demons, and their methods—

Therefore, before Rune created companion dolls, Constantine preferred to go directly to the streets to find prostitutes, or simply have some fun with succubi from hell.

As for Li Qianhuan, who came looking for Wolverine, although she looked rebellious, Constantine could tell at a glance that she was a good girl, so he had no intention of harming her.

As for cooking—

Although Constantine was a wizard, he came from a working-class family in Liverpool, England, and his childhood was not affluent, so he had to take care of himself. In order to meet his own needs, he had to master some simple cooking skills.

But just like Constantine's personality, the dishes he made—

"His cooking is edible, but that's about it," Logan rolled his eyes.

Constantine, who was cooking in the kitchen, shouted, "Hey, I heard you, but I'll take it as a compliment."

Constantine said this because this assessment is actually a compliment for British cuisine.

According to Logan, after Rune gave him a large amount of gold bars, Constantine set his sights on the money and kept trying to swindle it from him using some low-level tricks.

At first, Logan was indeed fooled, but he quickly realized what was happening and, relying on his rapidly regenerating body and the last remaining conscience of this damned wizard, forced him to turn the money he had been cheated into debt.

As a result, Constantine had to work like a slave to Logan while he was out fighting demons and monsters, just like a wronged little wife.

"Yes, that's right!" Constantine complained irritably. "Rune, you're clearly so rich, why won't you give me more money?"

"I've already given it to you," Rune stated clearly. "For so many years, I haven't cared about your buying and selling in England. I even assumed you had a dealer's license. If I remember correctly, Madam Shangdu ordered her goods from you."

"But this isn't like giving me money directly—"

Rune was speechless. "Is this any different from giving you money directly? It's not like I told you to buy a ton of companion dolls."

Forced into this predicament, Constantine could only sigh. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been speechless by now, but this was Constantine.

"But I just want to experience what it feels like to get something for nothing—"

Rune, unusually, laughed in anger. "You're such a jerk!"

After some playful banter, Rune revealed his true purpose. While checking on Wolverine's well-being was part of his motivation, more importantly, Rune was officially eighteen years old.

Do you remember what happened when you turned eighteen?

That's right, a magical upheaval. A wizard's magic develops with age; the older the wizard, the stronger and more stable their magic becomes. However, underage wizards are in a period of unstable magical power.

If an underage wizard experiences intense psychological activity, a magical outburst will occur. This doesn't only happen on his birthday; it's just that Rune's mind is too stable, so his magic is constantly suppressed and accumulated, eventually erupting after it has fully matured on his eighteenth birthday.

Given Rune's current magical reserves and strength, he has no way of guaranteeing what kind of terrible disaster he might cause in the future.

"While it's already frightening to know that the magic power within you can increase naturally, I still have to say, this kind of thing is really difficult to manage," Constantine said with a helpless expression. "You defeated Doctor Fate a few years ago—"

Wolverine blinked and nudged Constantine's stomach with his elbow.

Seeing Logan's confusion, Rune simply said, "You can think of him as the Sorcerer Supreme, only more obsessive. On the surface, he's a guy who maintains order, but he only cares about the order he values."

Logan understood now, but—

What do you mean Rune defeated the Sorcerer Supreme a few years ago? Logan's eyes widened in disbelief, his pupils contracting to their limit. However, the thought that Rune had once led him to defeat the Proma Plus version of Onslaught, who possessed six Infinity Stones, made him relax considerably.

"Comparison is the thief of joy," Wolverine slumped on the sofa. A few days ago, he'd messed with some damned angel, whose magic had made him feel like his bones were about to give way. "But I'll definitely help."

As he spoke, Logan turned to look at Constantine and rolled his eyes.

This provocative act made Constantine click his tongue. "Hey, listen, I'm not some powerful mage—"

"I can tell."

Logan didn't even look at the Hellblazer, and his words left Constantine speechless for a long time.

"Ahem, anyway, I definitely can't help you. If, as you say, this burst of magic even causes your magic to perform exceptionally well—" Constantine blinked, "I suggest you go straight to Hell or Heaven."

Heaven and Hell are both God's domains. Anyone with even a sliver of God's power might be able to withstand Rune's magical outburst, but Rune isn't stupid.

Although God is now missing, he is not so sure that he would offend the strongest being in the pan-American comic book system.

Aside from Nietzsche, it seems only the Holy Killer in DC's "Preacher" killed God.

After being rejected by Rune, Constantine said helplessly, "Then I really can't help you—"

"No, you do." Rune looked at Constantine. "I know your strength, and—don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. Don't you know me?"

Constantine had long appreciated Rune's generosity; the evil god's flesh and blood within him had saved him countless times.

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll definitely go then," Constantine said helplessly. "But if there's any danger, I'll definitely retreat immediately. Don't count on me."

Rune nodded, and even Logan didn't object.

Hmph, retreating immediately? Logan knows Constantine all too well. He always says he can't beat them and will retreat immediately, but in reality, that scumbag will always come back to save people under the torment of his conscience.

However, Rune didn't have high hopes for this mage. Constantine's raw strength was still somewhat lacking, and even with the symbiote's enhancement, he still had obvious weaknesses. After all, what mage doesn't know how to use fire magic?

A giant fireball is the dream of most mages!

However, just as Rune was about to go to Doctor Fate, he received an urgent message from Deathstroke.
