American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 599 The Elimination and Birth of Hidden Dangers

After gaining the support of the Azerothian world-soul, Jaina immediately announced her intention to rebuild the human empire and restore the glory of the Arathor Empire. She also revealed the Heart of Azeroth in her hand to prove her legitimacy.

The Heart of Azeroth could convince the nobles and paladins who migrated with Jaina, but it could not convince the common people.

In the eyes of these common people, they thought they had followed a kind nobleman to a region far from the dead, where they could live in peace. However, before they could have a peaceful life for more than a few days, orcs, elves, demons, and even visitors from other worlds appeared.

Having finally defeated them, this kind-hearted nobleman declared his intention to return to the land ruled by the undead and rebuild an empire.

What was the point of their long journey? What about the fields being cultivated and the ports being developed? And what about Theramore, which they painstakingly rebuilt?

In the eyes of ordinary people, nothing is more important than having enough to eat. They don't think there is any glory in unifying all mankind; they just feel that they have been tricked by the leader they recognize.

Jaina herself hadn't yet grasped the public opinion. Before becoming a leader, she was still just a student, and moreover, a princess of Kul Tiras of noble birth. The fact that she didn't utter anything like "Why don't they eat meat porridge?" already showed that Dalaran, at least, had a very good educational philosophy from Antonidas.

However, a large number of people at the bottom of society have taken pleasure in criticizing her every day, and some extremists, incited by those with ulterior motives, even want to assassinate Jaina.

However, Steve becoming the chosen one of the Holy Light and triggering a miracle gave humanity some confidence. At least it showed that the Holy Light was also looking after Theramore, and some might even interpret it as the Holy Light acknowledging Jaina's decision.

Jaina had no idea that her crisis had been resolved in a daze by the man Rune brought back from another world. She simply ran outside, her face burning red.

Steve's looks need no introduction, and his physique, enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum, is absolutely perfect. Jaina, of course, can't resist it; she's now—

"Your mind is filled with images of his body?"

Jaina blurted out instinctively, "Yeah—wait, what are you doing here!"

Rune looked at her like she was an idiot. "Of course I had to come out. He needs to rest!"

Then, the atmosphere turned cold.

Rune wasn't in a good mood. The Holy Light probably took a liking to Steve not only because of his character, but also because he and Rune appeared at the same time.

Rune has already agreed to introduce the Dark Force and the Life Force into another universe, so do you think the other Forces will just sit idly by? It's impossible.

All forces have the instinct to expand themselves. The Light Force, representing the Light Force, fights Sargeras, representing the Chaos Force, and the Old Gods, representing the Dark Force. They also want to attack the stronghold of the Death Force.

The Titans, created by the Force of Order, spread their biological weapons everywhere, attempting to transform all planets into their ideal form.

Even the seemingly most harmless life force in Azeroth once spread wildly on Draenor, the homeland of the orcs, almost completely draining the planet's energy.

The others need no further explanation; expansion is an instinct that the six Forces cannot suppress. The struggle between these six Forces is probably because in World of Warcraft, all the lucrative places have been divided up by the Forces, leading them to covet each other's territories.

At this moment, Rune's appearance offered them a new option. The old cake had been divided up, but a newcomer still had a brand new cake in his hand! Instead of fighting over the cakes they each had, wouldn't it be better to go and eat the other cake?

So the Dark Force found Rune first, and the dark magic on Rune made him feel at home. Next was the Life Force, whose powerful life force from Kryptonians and Doomsday made him feel right at home.

These two Force users have already gained the upper hand, and the remaining four Force users will definitely be unable to hold back and will come to Rune to negotiate terms, which is within his expectations.

However, the Force of Light set its sights on Rune's friend, which was tantamount to coercion. It's important to understand that when a Force favors an individual and infuses its power into them, that individual's personality will tilt towards the Force itself.

This is what is meant by "when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

Rune himself possesses a high-dimensional soul, which is why he dared to directly accept the infusion of Dark Force and Life Force. But what about Steve?

He could only rely on his own willpower to resist, but Rune was unsure whether Steve was aware of the Force's influence on him, or even whether Steve would rebel after learning the truth.

Since being awakened by Rune, Steve, who has given up the title of Captain America, has once again experienced the destruction of the world. Will his self-destructive tendencies be transformed into a desire for sacrifice by the Force?

Rune didn't know, and that was the root cause of his unhappiness.

In contrast, Jaina's worries were simpler. She was mortified by seeing the man's body and wanted nothing more than to dig a hole, crawl inside, and never come out again, or—

"Your friend—" Jaina mustered her courage and looked at Rune, wanting to ask if his friend would stay in his world forever, or if he was a gossip. But all she saw was a annoyed expression on Rune's face.

"Can this powerful mage also be swayed by emotions?" Jaina wondered.

“Of course, especially when I didn’t want to give up my feelings as a mortal,” Rune replied, looking at Jaina’s flustered expression, he continued, “Although I do possess the ability to read minds, I didn’t use it—”

Jaina looked at Rune with suspicion.

"You've said everything that's on your mind." Facing Jaina, Rune sighed. He casually picked up a feather made of the Force of Light from the ground, and the feather instantly merged into his body. "I'm just—a little helpless."

"You know, the Child of Light who received the Holy Light inside was a true hero, at least I can't compare to him at all."

"But you also saved us, saved the Azerothian star-soul. In my heart, you are the hero—" Jaina immediately began to comfort Rune with her high emotional intelligence.

But Rune wasn't happy about this consolation. "What kind of hero am I? I saved the Azerothian world-soul to strengthen myself, I saved you to gain knowledge from you, but he—"

Rune pointed to the church behind him, "The man lying in there was truly willing to sacrifice himself to help others without asking for anything in return, but now that he has been blessed by the Holy Light—"

"Perhaps after a while, the Steve I see will disappear."
