Chapter 1734: S: The Major Apocalypse Event (Part 1) _1

"I mean, is this really going to work?" Constantine asked, sketching runes on a piece of paper while glancing at Robin and the others across the large table, busy sorting out documents.

"I think we can give it a shot," Red Robin replied, aligning a stack of documents on the table. "After all, it's a conclusion drawn by the geniuses of an entire Earth in another universe."

"But in terms of magic..."

"They also have magic there," Harley interrupted, adding, "And as far as I observed, their magic energy is much more abundant than ours. Even many children can call upon Demon Gods at will, with very generous conditions."

Constantine sighed lightly. Though he hadn't personally visited the other universe, he had managed to analyse their operations from Harley's fragmented descriptions. It appeared to be a bunch of crazy people crazier than the Cosmic Sorcerers, kidnapping the entire human race with a Magical Defense Network, and ironically making the Cosmic Sorcerers helpless.

Constantine believed this could work on Earth in this universe as well. The only problem is the magic community here is too weak, they can't even form an official organization. If forced to say, Zatanna, the Master of the Dark Night and his other close friends could be considered a group, but because of their slightly different stances, it would be hard for them to unite.

Constantine reluctantly admitted this ambiguity frustrated him. When there wasn't a solution, everyone could muddle along, but now there was a very specific reference plan, and they could just copy the other universe's homework verbatim. Even if they couldn't achieve the same result, there would certainly be great improvements. But due to various realities, they couldn't even take a single step forward.

He no longer had the energy to debate with Robin and the others. He simply said, "I've drawn the runes you wanted. If you plan to use Batman's machine to engrave them on metal, make sure it's done accurately. The Mystic ritual calls for the highest precision in occult science..."

When it comes to this, Robins were quite patient and attentive. Although the gloomy Constantine only gave a brief admonition, and them having full trust in the advanced machines of the Batcave, they didn't overthink and started executing the plan provided by the other universe.

In short, Nick assembled the world's smartest scientists and most experienced Grand Mages. Of course, it wasn't just about learning technology from the other universe, but also conducting experiments in tandem, to witness the effects of the Enchanted Metal.

As a result, scientists and magicians began tirelessly learning the arcane knowledge of the DC Universe from Constantine. Constantine himself was a master of arcane trivia, and while he didn't know the mainstream skills to coax gods, he was well-versed in all sorts of devious and deceptive methods.

This meant that he got along better with the Marvel magicians as both didn't regard gods highly, focusing more on the efficiency of humans utilizing magic energy.

Nick dispatched two enhanced agent squads to question Constantine relentlessly for three days and nights until they squeezed out all his knowledge. The geniuses of this universe then began in-depth research into this knowledge.

The scientists from the Marvel Universe were well-adjusted to such a research pace, as they had to convene every few months facing a complex problem. The last meeting was for conquering the challenges of enchanted metal, the one before that was to construct a Star Port far away on Pluto, and the one prior was about restructuring Earth's geology.

Such issues were inevitably integrated with offputting difficulty. Scholars from all disciplines had to cooperate fully and unreservedly to achieve even slight progress. So, irrespective of personality, stance, or nationality, they were already well-versed in collaborating with scholars from other fields.

This led to the research efficiency of scientists in the Marvel Universe to be extraordinary. A week after starting formal research on the DC occult structure, the experts came up with a feasible plan.

In simple terms, the plan was to focus on what the mysterious alloy from Gotham could do without worrying about the origin of its mysterious Solid Darkness.

Considering the scarcity of energy the magicians from the other universe possessed, starting from magic property wasn't a good choice. Putting Constantine to work wouldn't yield enough energy to power the construction of the many metals for Sky Fort anyway.

So they decided to start from physical properties but use magic methods, essentially using a special magic array to activate the anti-gravity property of Sky Fort, achieving the best result with minimal energy.

However, it wouldn't be practical for Constantine to fly around Sky Fort and cover such an enormous object with magic runes. Even if he could do it, it would be a waste of energy. So, he drew a small one on a piece of paper, and the Robins, with Batman's super machine, would draw runes over the whole Sky Fort.

The Sky Fort of the Robins was a fort but more like an airborne tower, tall and slender with few rooms. This is because the power they developed to make it fly was rather simple, almost primitive. The extremely capable Red Hood created an electric shock device under the guidance of Red Robin, constantly activating the anti-gravity property of the Gotham metal.
