The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 163 Updates the Seal

Just as Li Zhen was about to get closer to say hello, Zatana and Rachel grabbed Li Zhen's arms on either side and forcibly pulled her aside.

Dr. Mist and Zhou Zhanxie seemed not to recognize Li Zhen at all. Zhou Zhanxie even glanced in Li Zhen's direction but did not show any expression, as if he saw a complete stranger.

Zatana apologized to Zhou Zhanxie in a low voice, and the latter nodded slightly before continuing to complain to Dr. Mist about the account named Constantine.

"I forgot to tell you beforehand."

Once the three of them had secured a small spot where there were few other living beings nearby, Zatana told Li Zhen somewhat embarrassedly.

"After entering the magic tower through different life amulets, they will be in a state of mutual shielding. Different groups will see other groups as a dazzling golden light."

Li Zhen then understood why Dr. Misty and Zhou Zhanxie hadn't recognized her; they probably thought some clumsy person had accidentally intruded into their social space.

But he could see others very clearly; there was no golden light obscuring his vision at all.

It's likely that this so-called golden light shielding magic actually works on each individual using different life talismans, which is why it lost its effect on Li Zhen.

It seems that the magic immunity attribute that comes with my spirit-body fusion is quite interesting.

If Li Zhen were a seasoned archmage, she could use this phenomenon to deduce the true nature of Doctor Fate's shielding magic. If she were to become his enemy, she could even pull off a surprise attack at this gathering.

"However, wasn't the purpose of Doctor Fate's gathering to create an opportunity for friends in the magical community to exchange ideas and resources?"

Li Zhen found the existence of this shielding magic somewhat strange.

Zatana exhaled and drew a circle on her head with her finger.

"Dr. Fate is skilled in dimensional magic and frequently visits different dimensions. The breadth of his friendships is unmatched by ordinary magicians."

"But the friends that Doctor Fate made in different dimensions were just doing it for Doctor Fate's own sake."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if angels and demons, sworn enemies, met in the magic tower without the shielding magic?"

oh-

I see, that's quite thoughtful.

Since Doctor Fate's shielding magic had no effect on Li Zhen, he confidently looked around without worrying about offending anyone with his gaze.

As expected, just as Zatana had said, Li Zhen witnessed many interesting scenes.

Even those who have only read some fairy tales or other fantasy literature can distinguish between hostile races because of the existence of shielding magic, allowing them to communicate normally with each other.

For example, a paladin and a succubus are discussing how to trade their magical items using a mutually agreeable exchange of value.

There were also vampires and werewolves, with three or four groups on each side, the two oldest individuals of which were standing together laughing heartily.

The vampire chieftain also took out a bottle of aged blood wine and poured a glass for the werewolf leader, who drank it all in one gulp and praised the wine as delicious.

Clearly, Doctor Fate's shielding magic did not only block vision.

Werewolves cannot smell the scent of vampires, and vampires cannot sense the blood of their nemesis on werewolves.

The two races, who fought to the death in various literary works and legends, were now getting along like brothers who hadn't seen each other for many years.

and many more?

Blood wine, vampires.

Li Zhen's face turned somewhat dark.

If Doctor Fate was willing to befriend vampires, then why did he call him a "human monster" in the first place?

He just killed a lot of people, and most of them didn't even look human. Those damn vampires put humans on their menu!

Isn't this pure Wittrum discrimination?

Just as Li Zhen was cursing Doctor Fate for his unfair treatment, the real protagonist finally floated down the spiral stone staircase at the edge of the first-floor hall, wearing his gleaming, iconic helmet.

The scattered chatter in the hall gradually subsided, and everyone turned their attention to Doctor Fate.

The golden helmet gracefully raised its hand, just as it was about to say something polite, when the front of the helmet suddenly swept across the corner occupied by Zatana and her two companions.

Despite having no eyes, Doctor Fate clearly sensed Lee Jung's presence.

Li Zhen gave a forced smile and raised the corners of his mouth at the man in the golden helmet.

However, the latter did not attack as Li Zhen had expected. Instead, after a brief silence, he turned the front of his helmet away from Li Zhen's position.

"You are all companions with different levels of expertise and understanding of magic. Today, I have gathered you all here not only for the usual exchange of information, but also to ask you to help discuss a question."

"7

Dr. Fate spoke casually, and many people in the room immediately responded.

"There's actually a problem that even Doctor Fate is struggling with; we'd naturally like to see it for ourselves."

"That's right. If we brainstorm together, we might be able to find a solution, and we can also gain some knowledge and experience."

"Dr. Fate is a mutual friend of ours, and others will inevitably encounter difficulties in the future. Isn't that precisely the reason we've gathered here?"

Li Zhen was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that someone he disliked would have some fame and prestige among so many other-dimensional magicians.

This is a stark contrast to Constantine, who either spends his days mingling with all sorts of people or lives a solitary life.

What surprised Li Zhen even more was yet to come.

"I recently met a descendant of a demon lord, who is suffering greatly from the demon lord's corruption—"

As Dr. Fate began to speak, everyone listened attentively, and what Dr. Fate was describing was precisely the problem that had long troubled Rachel.

"—To keep this friend's identity a secret, and to prevent your dimension from being watched by that powerful demon lord after you learn his true name, I'm sorry I can't say more."

Doctor Fate spread his arms, and a complex golden magical pattern was drawn in the void.

"This is a breakdown of a part of that young friend's sealing magic. Today, I would like to use everyone's wisdom to see if there is anything that can be improved or optimized."

this----

Li Zhen looked at Zatana with some surprise, while the beautiful woman, who was always dressed as a magician, gave him a meaningful smile.

The other beings around them soon began to offer their own insights to Doctor Fate, and Doctor Fate patiently materialized the solutions offered by the respondents.

The disintegration patterns of the sealing magic were constantly being added with all sorts of strange structures, and even learned and studious individuals came forward to discuss with Doctor Fate the possible changes that might occur after certain structural alterations.

Even Zhou Zhanxie proposed some talisman ideas with a distinctly Eastern flavor.

Meanwhile, the patterns of that small portion of the sealing magic were constantly being updated and iterated, radiating an even more dazzling golden light.
