The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

The witch Cersei ultimately succumbed to Lee Jung's forceful coercion.

While they may be immortal, their eternally youthful bodies are not immune to pain.

"Exquisite Beast Transformation Technique - Reversal"

As the familiar torrent of magic surged through, Donna, who had transformed into a giant eagle, and Tura, who had transformed into a sea serpent, finally returned to their original forms.

It has to be said that the scene was somewhat terrifying. To ordinary people, the transformation from beast to human was obscured by the magical light effects, making the process unclear.

But now Li Zhen can even see the essence of magic activation, so those light effects that might be for aesthetic purposes are as good as non-existent to him.

The flesh swelled, scales and feathers burrowed under the skin and disappeared, and bones reassembled loudly within the flesh.

Especially the changes in the face.

Who could imagine that a bird's head and a snake's head would slowly transform into a human head through the transformation of muscles, bones, and flesh?

"Oh, that's a bit disgusting."

Li Zhen felt he might not be able to eat dinner tonight. To prevent the witch Cersei from causing trouble during the process, he personally witnessed the complete transformation of the two team members.

It was more gruesome than any of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood he had ever witnessed before, a scene that truly challenged human ethics and morality. While Tula and Donna were getting dressed under the care of the other female team members, Li Zhen was already fretting about what to do with the witch Cersei's whereabouts.

It's not that they're completely unkillable; witches just have a higher vitality compared to ordinary beings.

Li Zhen was also far beyond the ordinary.

But behind the witch Circe is Hecate, whose condition is unknown.

God knows what Hecate looks like in this universe right now, and whether the setting of the source of magic has taken effect.

If Hecate, who hates the Greek pantheon, truly exists, even if she only descends in the future, then the new god Yi Jung, who dares to kill her representative, will undoubtedly face certain death.

As for the option of handing it over to the Justice League for imprisonment.

The same question remains: after Hecate, the source of magic, descends, how powerful will the witch Cersei, who wasn't given much screen time in the original story, become? Will the Justice League be able to keep her in check? What if she escapes and causes trouble for Lee Jung the first thing she does?

Li Zhen suddenly felt like Sun Wukong embarking on the journey to the West in a classic novel from a previous life.

Once you reach a higher level, the people you encounter may have an extremely outrageous backer.

That's absurd. Now, whether someone commits murder depends on who's behind them.

There was no way around it; Hecate, the embodiment and source of magic in the entire positive multiverse, that title was no ordinary one. Pinching her brow, Li Zhen decided to try a different approach.

The world isn't all fighting and killing; there are always stronger opponents, and Witrum's solutions won't work in many places.

If the witch Cersei can communicate normally, perhaps we could consider cooperating with her.

Hecate, as the source of magic corresponding to the inverted people in the Dark Multiverse, is someone that Lee Jung has to consider bringing along to form a unified force.

"Before I send you to the Justice League, I have a question for you."

Li Zhen expressed her bewilderment at the witch Cersei's seemingly pointless and disruptive behavior.

The witch was also somewhat surprised and confused, unable to understand why the guy who had been exuding murderous intent just moments before could suddenly communicate normally again.

However, it's always better to communicate than to act without saying a word.

"I suspect I may be targeted by some entity; my promotion ceremony, which I've been preparing for for years, has been repeatedly disrupted for unknown reasons."

The witch Cersei twisted her shoulders. Her hands had been freed for a moment when she cast a spell to remove the beast transformation spell from Donna and Tura, but they had been put back on.

Under someone else's roof, after a brief hesitation, Cersei poured out her grievances and told him about her recent experiences.

It's no wonder she's gone mad. She'd spent a rare period in seclusion planning her advancement, only to be interrupted time and again. And with her magical power, she couldn't even figure out who was behind it all. "I tried to find the bastard behind it all, but no matter how I divined, the results always pointed to more than a dozen powerful magicians from different fields. This is clearly misleading. Those dozen or so mages don't even know each other, so why would they team up against me?"

ummm

Li Zhen's expression became subtle.

A dozen or so experts from different areas of the magical world joined forces.

Not to mention recently, even within the last hundred years, the only example of a large-scale magical alliance is the construction of the pan-magical defense network led by Li Zhen.

Li Zhen couldn't help but glance at Cecilia again.

This unlucky fellow's timing for promotions repeatedly coincided with changes to the transdimensional magic defense network, causing him to lose his mind after repeated failures.

In retrospect, it seems more like fate has pushed Hecate's representative to Lee Jung's side.

"You drew your power from the underworld, no wonder you failed."

Li Zhen, unusually patient once again, began to tell his story with the subtle and euphemistic style of a scholar.

I tried to minimize my role in the story and briefly told the witch Cersei about Nero's current sealing of Hell.

However, once the witch Circe calmed down, she wasn't so easily fooled. "Why would Nero target you? And something as significant as the sealing of Hell requires me to see it with my own eyes before I can believe it."

Seeing the witch start to act all high and mighty after a few more words, Lee Jung's gaze quickly turned cold.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think I need to lie to fool you?"

Seeing the guy who had been able to talk calmly just moments before now exuding murderous intent again, the witch suddenly felt that her brain, which had been around for thousands of years, was not quite up to par.

She watched nervously as Li Zhen took a step closer to her, and quickly moved away from the ground.

"What...what are you trying to do? What's wrong with you? If you're going to mess with me, why are you talking so much to me?"

Li Zhen stepped forward, bent down, and pressed her right index finger against the witch's forehead.

A ferocious gaze, a cold expression, and a force that could pierce a witch's skull like tofu at any moment.

"I coexist peacefully with those superheroes only because there are people in this world I can't fight. It took me a while to maintain a certain balance with them, but that doesn't mean I can be that patient with everyone!"

"Ultimately, you're just a criminal, a weakling who's already been caught. Even if I kill you here, they won't really hold me accountable. Like I said, I maintain a certain balance with this world!"

The witch Cersei gaped, and in a daze, she seemed to see something behind Li Zhen that she could not comprehend even with her thousands of years of experience.

Born around 1200 BC, the witch had seen many figures in her life who were worthy of being remembered in history, such as commanders, generals, and executioners. But at most, their most extravagant deeds were those that involved the slaughter of people in a few cities.

Behind Li Zhen.

It was a planet formed from the countless gruesome corpses of those who died tragically.

"Oh, you really are the strangest villain I've ever met... Okay, I believe you, but it's no use, because I'm about to be dragged to jail by the Justice League."

The witch Circe blinked, still in shock at the incomprehensible sight she had just witnessed.

"I demolished a lot of buildings and smashed a lot of cars. Originally, many more people were going to die, but they were rescued."

Lee Jung straightened up and looked at the witch who was attracted by the "weird villain" persona she had created.

Could this be considered a move to bring them into the camp?

"In America, there's nothing money can't buy, and the money that will save you from a regular prison sentence is exactly what I can afford."
