253. Magic from Another World!
Batman, now engulfed in endless dark energy, had completely changed his appearance. If Batman was previously the perfect assassin, now he had beco a sinister bat sorcerer. Black and white, love and hate, life and death. It is said that a thin line divides them all, reminding of an old joke about insanity. But the key punchline lies in the fall!
Batman flew swiftly behind Red Skull, the mimic energy from the dark dinsion transford into his newly ford cloak, spreading behind him like a pair of demonic wings, carrying him as he swooped through the air.
"You should stay down!" Red Skull swung his sword, releasing terrifying energy that surged towards Batman, enveloping him entirely.
But the next mont, Batman's figure eerily appeared in front of Red Skull, tightly grabbing the arm holding the Ebony Blade, preventing him from moving an inch.
"And you," Batman growled hoarsely.
"Should fall!!"
With the will of vengeance, Batman's fist ferociously slamd into Red Skull's face, causing his mind to briefly go blank.
The rampant magical energy surrounding them paused montarily, giving Alex, who had been suppressed, a chance to catch his breath.
To be honest, controlling Batman wasn't an easy task. Even though this was a phantom extracted and copied from a mory, it was still very difficult to manage. However, once he found a suitable opponent for Batman, the power unleashed by him would shock everyone.
Batman was like a bug in the DC multiverse, an all-purpose material. Any substance or energy in his hands could be utilized to its fullest potential, whether it was a lantern ring, technology, or even magic, which was perfectly compatible with his body.
This also made it incredibly easy for Alex to control Batman's phantom. The dark dinsion's magical energy was more than enough to transform Batman into a true god of fear.
Just like the Gotham legend said, Bruce Wayne had died, and the only thing that erged from that alley was Batman, disguised as an eight-year-old boy!
Dispelling the Seraph Shield, Alex waved his hand, and the surrounding scorching heat instantly plumted. The mist in the air crystallized into glistening ice, falling gracefully—an astonishingly beautiful scene.
But this was clearly not the ti to appreciate the magnificent view. Alex changed his magical gesture, and blue magical energy filled his hands, quickly surrounding Red Skull, transforming into a frigid storm that instantly enveloped him.
"Is it over?" Barton's voice ca through Alex's earpiece. The blind old man had no idea how spectacular the battlefield was.
"Not that easy. The Icy Tendrils of Ikthalon is only ant to restrain him. Red Skull has accumulated too much energy; he's like an unstable elent about to explode. Any action taken now will only hasten the explosion," Alex replied calmly.
"What!? Explosion?" Barton turned toward Red Skull in shock.
"Yes, explosion."
Alex opened his eyes, observing Red Skull's condition from a distance through Superman's body. The muddled spirit and shattered shell could no longer be considered human.
"He's stored too much energy inside his body. Various chemical substances and magical energies are rging together, along with cosmic arcane forces and who knows what else. Red Skull is like a giant particle accelerator, but one fully powered by magic."
Alex thought of Barry Allen, who beca the Flash due to a particle accelerator explosion, but it was obvious Red Skull's explosion wouldn't be nearly as 'gentle.'
"Barton, do you rember the Baxter Building from the Fantastic Four? Can you guess why Hydra ruled the world but didn't retrieve anything from that building?"
Before Barton could answer, Alex provided the explanation himself.
"It's because the Baxter Building is in a volatile state. Any wrong move will cause a catastrophic explosion, tearing open a chaotic ti stream."
This was also the reason Star-Lord from a future tiline traveled back in 'Old man Quill comics'. But nothing involving ti streams is stable, and even if Hydra had ten tis their courage, they wouldn't dare ss with this kind of threat. And now, considering Red Skull's current condition, Alex explained.
"Red Skull is the sa. If we don't resolve the chaotic energy, the explosion he generates could rip open a rift in the reality dinsion. By then, not only Tis Square but the entire New Babylon would be blasted to the other side of reality."
"Does he have that much destructive power?"
Tearing a rift in reality was sothing that, in Old Barton's mory, was associated with the level of Thanos. Hearing this, Alex didn't respond; he rely shook his head in resignation.
The energy inside Red Skull was chaotic and disordered. In a sense, it was almost akin to primal chaotic magic. He might not be that powerful yet, but the reality barriers of this universe were not as solid as the public imagined.
Having lost the magical dinsion, with no Supre Mage to guard it and after the destruction of the Infinity Stones, the reality barriers of this tiline had been progressively weakened. Now, they could no longer withstand such imnse energy. To resolve this trouble, he needed more manpower.
"You've angered , wizard!"
After being struck down by a punch, Red Skull quickly recovered. Once encased in the ice crystals, he summoned dark flas to try and corrode and destroy the surrounding ice magic.
However, Red Skull's words went unanswered. At this mont, Alex was entirely focused on controlling the magic. The energy within Red Skull was highly volatile. Unable to attack fully, Alex could only control his movents.
"Is this all the power you have?! Wizard, I still—uh?"
Whoosh—!
The Lasso of Truth sliced through the air, binding Red Skull tightly with imnse divine power. Looking over, Alex saw Wonder Woman Diana had arrived before him, and her opponent, the Shadow Knight, was already impaled through the abdon by a sword.
Seeing the glowing rope wrapped around him, Red Skull keenly sensed the ntal magic it carried. He knew that everyone here, everyone he saw, was the work of the wizard hiding in the shadows!
"There is no Justice League, is there? Or are you the so-called 'Justice League'?"
Alex's gaze was deep and cold as he communicated with the seven stars before him. Green Lantern Hal and Cyborg soon arrived, surrounding Red Skull from different positions.
"This world no longer has magic. With your weak magic, you still think you can control ? I am a god!"
Red Skull continued to struggle, the energy surging from him constantly tearing apart the Green Lantern's light and the lasso's golden glow began to flicker unstably.
"You will never be a true 'god'."
Alex spoke, and as his words echoed, green flas erupted across the battlefield, enveloping everything around them. Even the Hydra soldiers trying to rescue Red Skull were unable to approach.
"Do you know? The phantoms here all co from another world. They are all extracted from Black Canary's mory. And in her mind, I also found other interesting things."
Hovering above Red Skull, Alex looked down on him, watching as he continuously tried to unleash more powerful energy to resist his control. Alex's lips curled into a slight smile.
"You're right. The magic of this world may be difficult to affect you in the short term, but Black Canary has a friend nad Zatanna—"
With that, Alex suddenly raised his hands high, and an extrely special energy surged forth. It was a miraculous energy with the sa origin as magic but from a different origin, a special energy that did not belong to this universe.
"Answer my call, connect to the center of the world, born from the dreams of all things, the sea of the origin of knowledge."
Golden magical energy took the form of ribbon-like lines, shimring brilliantly around Alex.
In the next mont, Alex pointed sharply at Red Skull and recited aloud.
"ygrene dna ydob rouy etarepes"
For readers unfamiliar with DC, Zatanna's spells in the comics are often chanted like this.
