Chapter 235: Eclipse
"Stand back, I'll take care of this guy!"
Seeing Darkseid's appearance, Fantastic Captain Billy Batterson shouted without hesitation.
“ShAZAm!!”
A dazzling golden lightning bolt fell from the sky and hit Darkseid directly, far more powerful than the electricity that Black Adam had just released.
After the events of the Day of Vengeance, Billy inherited the duties of the wizard Shazam and must stay here forever to protect the Eternal Rock, but in contrast, he has more power than ever imagined in the Eternal Rock.
This is also the reason why Batman decisively decided to hide the pregnant Louise and Wonder Woman who was implanted with the anti-life equation to the Rock of Eternity.
It could be seen that the crack in Darkseid's skin was rapidly expanding after taking this attack, and his body seemed to have reached its limit.
But even so, Darkseid's face had a grim and cruel smile.
"You do have a good position here...... But kid, you're still a little more experienced in combat. ”
Airplanes!
I saw Darkseid's eyes emit a blood-red omega effect, and the red rays of destruction rushed directly towards Billy Batson.
"It's just this kind of attack—"
Captain Fantastic crossed his arms over his chest, ready to take the attack hard, but just as the attack was about to hit Billy, the omega ray turned directly at a right angle, bypassing Captain Fantastic and rushing towards Louise behind him.
"Oops!"
Billy hadn't fought Darkseid head-on before, and he had no way to communicate with the outside world in order to protect Eternity Rock and the two women after the eventual crisis, so he had no idea what Darkseid's signature abilities were.
Captain Fantastic immediately turned to chase the Omega Ray, but even Mercury seemed to be a step slower, seeing that the bright red ray of death was about to hit Louise.
Just then, a figure pushes Louise away, and instead of her, she is hit by an omega ray.
"Wonder Woman!"
"Diana!"
Billy and Louise exclaimed at the same time, only to see that Wonder Woman, who was supposed to be bound by the Lasso of Truth and was fighting against the Equation of Life, actually broke free of the Lasso of Truth and blocked the attack for Louise.
"Uhh
Fortunately, the Omega Effect Ray hit Diana's Guardian Silver Bracelet, which was forged from the fragments of Aegis Aegis, the king of the gods, and was endowed with divine power by the god of fire, Hephaestus, to bounce the Omega Effect away, but Diana also flew upside down at high speed and smashed into the cave wall.
"You bastard—"
Captain Fantastic seemed enraged by Darkseid's dastardly actions, and he was enveloped in dazzling golden lightning, and he rushed to Darkseid with almost teleportation speed, driven by the immensity of magical power.
"I'm not going to let you hurt anyone anymore!"
Bang.
The power given to Billy Batson by the wizard Shazam contains the divine power of Hercules, which is an absolute power comparable to Superman, and in the punch that Captain Fantastic throws hard, the cheek is smashed into the ground by the hit Darkseid, creating a huge crater, and at the same time, the entire Eternal Rock seems to be shaking violently.
"Maybe it's a good thing that you dared to come in here - otherwise, I wouldn't have had a chance to beat you up."
Because he is the soul of a teenager under the appearance of an adult, compared to other superheroes, Captain Fantastic can sometimes be reckless and immature, but he also has an extremely strong and pure sense of justice.
"Too ...... Light. ”
However, after being put on the ground, half of his face was smashed to pieces, and Darkseid, who looked very embarrassed, showed a twisted and ugly smile.
"If you just threw a punch with all your might with the belief of killing me...... Maybe there's a chance that my body will be destroyed. ”
Billy's expression froze, he really didn't fully release his power with this punch just now, of course, not only because he didn't want to kill, but mainly because he was worried that his full strength would bring damage to the Eternal Rock.
But in this level of battle, a single thought can lead to irreparable defeat.
Captain Fantastic raised his fist again, intending to give Darkseid one more punch, but just then, a gleaming lasso wrapped around his strong arm.
"How could it be...... Diana? ”
Using the Lasso of Truth to control him was none other than Diana Prince, who had just blocked a blow for Louise, and her expression was now cloudy, looking like she was fighting with the anti-life equation in her body for control of her body.
"Quick...... Dodge...... Kid - I'm almost ......"
Billy gritted his teeth, he knew he couldn't hesitate any longer, otherwise once Wonder Woman was completely controlled, the Lasso of Truth could forcibly order him to shout the magic word to disarm the transformation.
“ShAZAm!!”
Captain Fantastic decided to shout his spell first, and of course the lightning bolt did not slash at him, but bombarded Wonder Woman's body.
After a scream, Diana, who was covered in smoke, finally let go of the noose of the truth and fell to the ground weakly.
"I'm sorry, Wonder Woman, I'll definitely be -"
"That's it, kid, you're still so innocent."
Just then, a female voice rang out in the back of Billy's head, which made him instantly stand on top.
Because he remembered the voice, and it was because of the fight with her that Billy was forced to stay here to guard the Eternal Rock.
"Eclipse! You're resurrected?! ”
Captain Fantastic immediately turned around and threw a punch, but was easily caught by a woman's palm, and then Billy's neck was choked by slender fingers and he was forcefully pushed to the ground.
It was a short-haired woman with short purple hair, wearing a purple-black bodysuit, and striking was that her face had a purple pattern like a lunar eclipse, covering half of her face.
She is the Eclipse, the Eclipse that resides in Jane Rowling, the spirit of God's vengeance.
"To be precise, you never killed me. Honey, you don't think that you can kill me by throwing me next to the sun and letting me feel the torment of the scorching sun. ”
An evil and cruel smile appeared on Tianyi's face, and his fingers gradually strengthened.
"I know that if you can't utter magic words, you won't be able to cause Zeus to thunder...... Just die in suffocation, poor boy. ”
"You...... Did you know......"
Even so, Billy didn't look desperate, he focused, and the dazzling lightning swirled around his body.
"Now I ...... It's already one with the Eternal Rock......"
Bang!
A golden thunderbolt slammed into Eclipse's body, and the latter let out a scream before forcing Billy to let go of Billy's neck.
And Captain Fantastic seized the opportunity and greeted the eclipse face with a heavy punch without mercy, sending it straight away.
"Even if you don't use magic words, the Eternal Rock will automatically release energy to protect me."
Billy looked at the Eclipse in front of him, and quickly calmed down, he realized that the power of the Eclipse was not strong compared to before.
"Last time, it was because you controlled the ghosts that you almost defeated the heroes of the Shadow Pact...... But this time, you're no match for me, Eclipse! ”
However, to Billy's dismay, even so, Eclipse still has a confident smile on his face.
"You're a little stronger than before, and I'm glad to see you grow - that way, I'll have a more powerful puppet."
Eclipse's most powerful ability is mind control, even Superman and even a ghost have been manipulated by her.
"But your magic can't control me, Eclipse, you should know!"
"It's just that my words are really not easy to do......"
At this moment, Billy had an ominous premonition in his mind, and he immediately remembered that there was more than one enemy here.
Oops!
Billy turned around and found that Darkseid, whose body was already in tatters, had come to Wonder Woman who had just been electrocuted.
"It's time to get back into my hands, my power ......"
Darkseid's palm was held flat on Wonder Woman's head, and then countless black and gold lines began to pour out of Diana's body, converging towards Darkseid's palm.
"No...... Absolutely can't ......."
Diana struggled to get up, and although she hated the anti-life equation and the evil force that caused her to commit unforgivable sins, she instinctively felt that something worse would happen if Darkseid took back the anti-life equation.
The anti-life equation was being extracted at a slower rate, and Billy wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to rush over and interrupt Darkseid, but just then a female exclamation rang out from the side.
"Don't act rashly, child, otherwise, when Superman returns, he will only see the tragedy of his wife and child's two lives."
"Death knell?! You scumbag...... Let her go! ”
I saw that Death Knell had sneaked up to Louise's side for some time, and the sharp promethalium katana was resting on Louise's snow-white neck.
Billy hesitated when he saw this, he knew that if he sprinted at full speed, he might be able to subdue Deathstroke with Mercury's speed - but he didn't dare to bet, after all, Louise was only a mortal, and a pregnant woman who could not be stimulated in any way.
And just as he hesitated, Eclipse's arm grabbed his neck from behind.
"Take a good look, Captain Fantastic, the outcome will be decided when we enter the Eternal Rock."
On the other side, Diana seems to have succeeded in bringing the extraction of the anti-life equation to a halt with her willpower, but at this moment, Darkseid holds the half-spherical anti-life equation in one hand, and rudely grabs Diana's black hair with the other hand to lift her up.
"Are you sure you want to go against me? Diana, can you just bear to watch my body collapse at a rapid pace? ”
"You're talking ...... What the hell...... I can't wait for you bastard to be broken into pieces......"
"Why don't you take a closer look, who am I?"
Diana opened her eyes in pain, and when she saw Darkseid's current face up close, her expression froze.
"Steve? How could it be...... Yes!!!! ”
It was evident that at this moment, Wonder Woman's original determined will was shaken, and then the remaining anti-life equation was completely extracted from her body, and then condensed in Darkseid's palm.
"I had some trouble taking Batman's body...... But thanks to this, I needed to eat away at his memories a little bit, and I learned some interesting things because of this, so I chose a vulnerable mortal instead of a powerful hero in the choice of a new body. ”
Darkseid contentedly tossed the drained Wonder Woman and threw her to the ground like garbage.
"Although his body can't handle my new god soul well, and he has to take complex measures to maintain stability and slow down the collapse, there are some benefits. For example, he has a weak will, so I can quickly occupy this body completely; For example, I have cultivated the anti-life equation in your body, so I will also be influenced by you to produce a small amount of consciousness...... And using this body to reabsorb the anti-life equation will not produce too severe rejection. ”
As if confirming Darkseid's words, as he lowered the golden and black ball of light into the depression in his chest, the countless cracks in his body began to heal rapidly, and his tattered body was now not only restored, but also seemed to be slowly expanding and becoming stronger.
"After all, this man, Steve Trevor, has a lot to do with you. I have taken advantage of your vain love and trampled it on to complete the final completion of the anti-life equation! ”
The Anti-Life Equation is more than just a tool for manipulating the will, when it is integrated with Darkseid, all of his abilities will be greatly enhanced due to the perfect match of his attributes.
“ShAZAm!!!!”
After Billy saw this, Solomon's wisdom told him that he could no longer look ahead and backwards, and that he must defeat Darkseid before he and the anti-life equation were fully integrated, otherwise not only this planet, but the entire universe and the entire multiverse would be doomed!
The powerful divine thunder blasted towards Darkseid, but the latter raised his arm and crushed the magic lightning with one hand.
"Very well, it's up to you to test the effect of the anti-life equation that I reclaimed."
Shout!
Darkseid vanished from the spot at an almost teleportation speed, and the next moment he was in front of Captain Fantastic, and reached out and grabbed his forehead, who was held by the Eclipse and couldn't dodge for a moment.
"Anti-Life Equation = loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth÷ mockery÷ condemnation÷ misunderstanding x g uilt guilt x shame x failure x judgment, n=y, where, y=hope, and, n=folly, love=lies, life=death. ”
"Stop, I won't ...... Uhhh ”
Captain Fantastic tried desperately to resist Darkseid's brainwashing, but at that moment, Eclipse's lips almost pressed to his ear and whispered.
"I command you, give up resistance, free will is a mistake."
The Anti-Life Equation and the Eclipse Force, two of the most powerful mental manipulation methods in the DC Universe, act on Billy's body at the same time.
"self = dark side."
The last sentence was shouted by Billy and Darkseid at the same time.
