American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 527 Martha: You're kidding, right?

Rune and many other mages attended the funeral of Doctor Fate. It was a bright, sunny day, and everyone was dressed in black as they watched the ceremony take place.

Today, we are burying not only Doctor Fate, but also the Kamar-Taj sorceress who died alongside him. They perished in a battle that was destined to remain unknown to ordinary people, but Wang and his companions have grown accustomed to such scenes and have taken the initiative to carry out the funeral arrangements.

Dr. Fate's wife, Inza Clem Nelson, stood at the front with red eyes, but her expression was very solemn.

Clearly, she had already cried at home.

"—Today we gather here not for the fall of a superhero, but for the completion of an immortal chapter by a wise man. As the bells of the Tower of Destiny fall silent—"

"True wisdom is not about knowing all the answers, but about knowing when to ask the right questions. In the long river of fate, he is always the navigator who firmly grasps the compass of humanity."

"—Now he hangs up the amulet and folds his cloak, but his legacy will not end. Whenever we face a choice and choose justice over convenience, whenever we believe in the light even in darkness, the spirit of Kent Nelson continues to be passed down among us—"

"The most painful thing is not the fall of heroes, but the countless nameless people like you, silently drifting away like autumn leaves. Your sacrifices will not be made into movies, will not be written into legends, but every peaceful sunrise, every full moon, is your wordless epitaph."

The king said in a trembling voice, "May you find the peace you deserve in the eternal light of Vishanti."

He had experienced many life-and-death separations, but Wang hoped he would never get used to such scenes.

Since the Scarlet Witch doesn't need the Kamar-Taj mages' help, the Kamar-Taj mages in the other two sanctuaries were divided equally according to their spellcasting abilities. For example, the King is in the Eternal Rock Sanctuary, while the Druid Doctor is in the Gotham Sanctuary.

Therefore, the magical power of Kamar-Taj has been reduced by almost half, which, in all fairness, is beneficial to the balance of the entire magical world.

Most of the spellcasters in the DC Universe were forced to change their spellcasting systems when they were weak, and on top of that, Rune killed many of the old guard.

However, the wizards of Kamar-Taj in the Marvel Universe did not need to change their allegiance, so their abilities remained the same, resulting in the Marvel Universe wizards overwhelming the wizards of the DC Universe.

In short, the wizards of Kamar-Taj hold sway over the entire magical world. Rune believes that even with this power, Kamar-Taj won't do anything bad, but a monopoly is certainly not a good thing.

Rune had intended to intervene when he had some free time, but he never expected the matter to be resolved in such a tragic way.

After the funeral, Rune received the Anubis amulet and the Cloak of Fate from Clark, and then went to Inza.

"This is Kent's keepsake." Rune held the precious artifact in both hands and handed it to her.

"Thank you—" Inza looked at the two artifacts. She was reluctant to expose her vulnerable side in front of outsiders, but when she saw her husband's belongings, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Inza was well aware of the price of becoming a wizard, especially given what her husband was doing. Even after Naboo's death, he continued to try to maintain order and peace throughout the wizarding world, incurring the wrath of many wizards in the process.

She had already given herself psychological counseling. No matter how her husband died, no matter what his body would eventually become, she would calmly accept the news of his death and live on with his legacy.

She never expected that Kent would not die at the hands of the mage he had offended, but instead be killed by a god with whom he had no prior grudge.

Rune waited quietly for Inza to finish venting his emotions before saying, "We—we still need a Doctor of Fate, this Earth still needs a Doctor of Fate, so—"

This was a really cold statement, but Rune had to say it.

Inza wiped his eyes, clutched the amulet and cloak to his chest, and said firmly, "No need to say more, I understand. I will become the new Mage of Fate and uphold order in the magical world."

As she said this, Inza pursed her lips. In her view, it would be very romantic if a husband and wife could focus on the same cause, even to the point of dying for it. Therefore, she resolutely took on this heavy burden.

Rune sighed. His passively triggered telepathic ability had detected Inza's self-destructive tendencies, but he was powerless to do anything about it. Perhaps he should have her find Professor X?

Rune believed that Professor X was fully capable of resolving Inza's inner conflict, and he didn't want Doctor Fate to change candidates arbitrarily like in the main universe, unless necessary.

There have been eight Doctor Fate in the DC universe, and the result is that every time a new Doctor Fate is appointed, the chosen one has to relearn magic.

However, the frequent changes in personnel directly resulted in Doctor Fate's abilities being greatly reduced without Naboo's guidance in his helmet.

Rune thought it was highly likely that Nab had done it on purpose, that he was doing this to perfectly control the possessed person. Given the dark nature of this God of Order, Nab was capable of such a thing.

"Don't worry, I'll avenge Kent." Rune patted Inza on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, keeping his word.

Inza glared angrily at Rune, but she didn't hate Rune.

"I want to go too! I want to avenge Kent myself!"

However, Rune declined Inza's offer.

Inza's strength is actually quite good, only slightly inferior to Kent Nelson himself. And Kent was her initial mentor in magic, so the bond between the couple is even stronger than love.

However, without Naboo, neither Inza nor Kent could match Apollo, the sun god. If it had been King or Scarlet Witch instead of Clark against Apollo, it would have been a fierce battle.

However, Clark's Kryptonian constitution was too much of a counter to Apollo, which persuaded the two self-important gods to retreat, and the protective shield was thus able to be deployed.

It can only be said that it's a matter of timing and fate; God doesn't stand by the side of those gods, angels, and demons.

After calming Inza down a bit and assuring him that he would torture Apollo in the most cruel way, Rune finally left.

But Inza was unaware of just how terrifying Rune's methods were, so after putting on Kent's relics, she went home to contemplate revenge.

Rune then took Barbara, Raven, and Clark home and explained to the Jonathans what he was going to do.

They had made an agreement.

When Jonathan and Martha heard that Rune was going to kill Ares and Apollo, they immediately burst into laughter. However, under the watchful eyes of Rune and the others, Jonathan and Martha finally realized something.

Then, Jonathan cautiously asked, "Um, the Apollo and Ares you're going to kill—they wouldn't happen to be those two Greek gods I'm imagining, would they?"

Rune nodded.

Martha's eyes rolled back immediately, and she fainted.
