Chapter 398 The Reed Council Makes a Comeback
Beneath the dazzling fireworks were the reunited lovers. Zatanna and Wanda each held one of Connors's hands and looked up at the sky, the shapes of the fireworks shimmering in their pupils.
"He might not be able to concentrate on the ritual to exterminate 'Mr. Fantastic' right now, so let him finish expressing his longing to his lover first."
Connors, pulling Wanda and Zatanna along, headed in the opposite direction from Doctor Strange.
Not long ago on Earth-3, Zatanna's longing for Connors was almost overflowing, and Connors's mission with her this time was precisely to make up for the lack of companionship.
Furthermore, Wanda has been in the House of Mystery almost ever since she was taken away from the Zombie Universe, like a caged bird, and she also needs to go out more often.
"I appeared in this place with a little girl named Gwen from another world..."
The black-smoked warhorse trotted lightly across the ground, with Zatanna and Wanda sitting on either side of Connors on its back. He recounted his past stories to these two heroines, who were among the most outstanding in the magical realm.
Spider-Man turned into a zombie, the Punisher sworn to kill all zombies, the culprit Mr. Fantastic, and the sarcastic Deadpool.
These were things that Wanda and Zatanna didn't know, and through Connors's words, it was as if they had experienced them all again with him.
When Connors rode his black smoke warhorse around the Earth and returned to the starting point, Doctor Strange was already prepared:
"Watchers, it's time to take action."
Connors nodded, and the black smoke warhorse transformed back into a black smoke cloak floating behind him. He waved his hand towards the ground, and a string of red candles appeared out of thin air.
Scarlet Witch Wanda used her crimson chaos magic to pierce through the candles, causing them to rise and arrange themselves in a certain pattern.
Zatanna snapped her fingers, and with a shout of "Fireworks!", all the candles were lit.
Within the enormous magic circle that Wanda had created with candles, three magicians from different worlds sat on the ground.
"The Red Curtain Descends—"
"The Light of Agamotto reveals all—"
"Everything in reality is subject to Zatanna's will—(read backwards)"
Golden sparks and crimson fog emerged from the disintegrating air.
Every wisp of air transformed into a mirror, displaying different versions of "Mr. Fantastic" Reed.
The one wearing a full-body dark blue spacesuit-style battle suit, with completely white hair and a wrinkled face, wearing white gloves, stretched out his arm in front of the blackboard to write formulas, while the one in a gray-blue battle suit looked slightly immature.
A man with thick, snake-like hair, eyes that gleamed with grey light, an exceptionally tall, metallic-looking body, clad in rock armor, his eyes blindfolded, and wearing a white suit, raising a glass at the banquet.
At this moment, thousands of "Mr. Fantastic" Reeds from different worlds, different universes, and different identities all looked out of the mirror, their gazes fixed on the three wizards sitting on the ground.
Seemingly sensing the danger, these Reeds unleashed their various abilities to launch attacks beyond the mirror.
But as Zatanna made sarcastic hand gestures, the phantom god Morrigan emerged from Wanda's body, and the Infinity Stones on Strange's cloak shone, all of these counterattacks from "Mr. Fantastic" were thwarted.
Having located their location, the three magicians prepared to eliminate these Reeds.
Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, struck first. Her body floated up from the ground, and a scarlet crown appeared on her forehead in the flickering candlelight. She uttered only one sentence:
"Reed Richards no longer exists."
Whoosh!
A portion of the mirror surface in the air was instantly covered with cracks that rapidly expanded, eventually shattering and dissipating into the air with a crash.
This means that some of Reed has been eliminated, but there are still countless mirrors and countless "Mr. Fantastic" Reeds in the air.
"This must have cost a lot of money, right?" Deadpool casually picked up a fragment from the air and looked at Reed, who was emitting green poisonous mist inside.
Wolverine was chugging his drink, seemingly treating the plan to exterminate Reed as a snack with his alcohol.
Dr. Banner was uninterested in the scene and continued his efforts to save the world on his own.
Connors then split into eight clones, surrounding the magic circle on the ground from eight directions to ensure that the plan would not go wrong.
Hey—
Amidst the faint sounds, in one of the remaining mirrors, a Reed is struggling to squeeze through, attempting to enter this zombie world.
Those Reeds who survived the spells infused with chaos magic by Wanda must have been incredibly powerful.
As the first Reid attempted to emerge from the mirror, the others began to follow suit. Some tore the mirror apart with their bare hands, some opened portals, some chose to flee, and some curiously peered at the three magicians.
Soon, arms of various shapes reached out from the air and grabbed at the three people in the magic circle. At this moment, Doctor Strange spoke:
"Shadow of Kamar-Taj, devour my enemies!"
The candles within the magic array on the ground instantly swelled to the size of towering trees, their light flashing like hundreds of suns high in the sky.
The light shone down, casting Doctor Strange's shadow indistinctly.
Those Reeds who tried to reach into the world of the Lost Ones let out a roar or a scream, and the mirrors they belonged to began to crack and shatter.
"We need to unite."
At this point, fewer than two hundred mirror fragments remained in the air, and Reed within these fragments began to communicate with his counterparts in other worlds:
"I don't know what achievements you have made in your respective fields, but I have made considerable achievements in space travel technology. I will open the portal."
Reed then spoke up:
"I am Reed. Believe me, if you give me time, I can unleash magic powerful enough to destroy the world. You need to buy me some time."
"I am Reed too, everyone here is Reed," one of the fragments of Reed immediately retorted.
"My assembled antimatter cannon can also destroy them; you guys go and distract them."
"I'm going to gather the superheroes, you guys hold on!"
"If you're smart enough, you should choose to follow my orders."
"Perhaps after this incident we can form an alliance called the Reed Council."
"Who is that person? Why is he carrying a trident? And there's actually an Atlantean Reid among us?!"
"You're all pirates, I'm the real Reed, Captain America Reed."
The noise gave Zatanna a headache. She raised her hand and drew an infinity symbol "∞" in the air, then grabbed it and pressed it into her palm.
"Burn the shadows to ashes!" (Read backwards)
Centered on Zatanna, the flames from those towering, enormous candles cascaded down like waterfalls, pouring into all the remaining fragments of the mirror.
