The wizard has lived for thousands of years, and his decaying body can no longer carry Shazam's power, and he must find a successor to inherit his Shazam's power before the end of his body's lifespan, and continue to protect humanity.

"I was looking for someone with a pure heart at first."

He struggled to his feet with the support of his scepter.

"But all this time, I never found it.

I still had some time until someone broke into the Eternal Rock. ”

"Perhaps a person with a completely pure heart is an unrealistic fantasy.

Even children have times when their hearts are completely occupied by jealousy and anger. ”

The wizard looked lost and a little confused.

"Completely pure in heart?

That kind of saint, in this day and age, is more scarce than a bird with three wings. ”

David felt that the wizard had a psychological shadow after experiencing Black Adam and fell into a harsh extreme.

For fear of handing over the power to another Black Adam, he had to pick out a saint, but it took thousands of years to find it.

Once, the Eternal Council, where the wizard belonged, chose a man to inherit Shazam's power, that is, Black Adam, who was endowed with the power of the six gods of Egypt, but he did not use that power to protect humanity, but first used it to avenge the death of his wife and children at the hands of the dictator of Kandak.

Tempered with emotion, he caused his power to spiral out of control, razing the capital of Kandak to the ground, killing millions of people in it, and the Eternal Council regretting that it had given its power to the wrong man and sealed him away.

"Watching the news some time ago, Black Adam has been out of trouble and ruled Kandak."

"Perhaps."

Walking up to David, the wizard shook his head and smiled wryly.

In fact, think about it, is he a person with a pure heart who has guarded mankind for thousands of years?

He didn't dare to call himself either.

"I thought you would inherit my power, Beyonder."

There was a seriousness on his old face.

"I am looking for someone with a pure heart, I want to find someone who can shoulder the responsibility of protecting humanity and not be lost by the sudden power of a god.

And the people who protect humanity already have and have great power in themselves, and they have threatened the world many times, as evidenced by this. ”

Then it seems that there is no need to dwell on preconditions.

"Listening to your tone, it seems like giving up on the idea of giving me power."

David was keenly aware of the meaning of his words.

"But why have you changed your mind now?"

The wizard was silent, looked at the old man's badly injured body, and the answer was self-evident.

He didn't have time to pick and choose anyone else.

"I'm not the only one in the world who has saved the world."

David said again.

The wizard was a little surprised that David didn't seem to value his own strength very much, and the scepter slammed into the ground, thunder and lightning splashed, his expression was serious, and the voice of the old and divine echoed in the hall.

"You may not know how powerful the Shazam I am going to pass on to you is, but with this power you will have the power of the six gods, the wisdom of Solomon, and the ...... of Hercules."

David interrupted his chanting with a wave of his hand.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

Even for him now, if he can get it, he will usher in a wave of strength, but he doesn't need it so much.

There is a template system, as long as it continues, you can casually get a template that is more powerful than Shazam in the near future.

He wanted to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, and he didn't want forces with an unknown purpose.

"If you want to say that the heart is pure and the protection of mankind, there should be a person who is more in line than me, who flies around the city all day long, acting as a fire captain everywhere."

David was talking about Clark.

"In terms of purity of heart, Clark may not be called a selfless saint, but there are few people on earth who are more pure in heart than him, willing to be in danger and even sacrifice their lives to protect mankind and protect strange people."

"He's not human."

The wizard shook his head, uttering a simple, but unavoidable reason.

The so-called guardian of mankind is actually the guardian of earthlings, aliens are not among them, he will not hand over the power of Shazam to an alien to protect mankind, no matter how righteous and kind that alien seems, he can no longer take risks.

As for Clark, it is true that he is more enthusiastic than David in fighting crime and saving others, but wizards don't value this, and the Eternal Council has always only cared about crises that really threaten the fate of mankind, and only appears in absolute critical moments.

This is also in line with David's style.

David raised his eyebrows, not telling that the old wizard was still a racist.

"My body is running out of time, Beyonder."

He raised his hand to signal David not to say anything more, and took the scepter in his hand.

David's series of performances made the wizard more determined to pass on the power to him, and the powerful power was not moved in front of him, but recommended others, and for some reasons, the wizard was not worried that if he exposed his ambitions in the future, he would forever endanger the world with the power of the six gods.

"The world is in danger, if you doubt this power, you can find another person with an honest heart to pass it on in the future!"

Seeing his urgent urging and even a slight hint of request, David slowly put his hand on the scepter.

Seeing that the wizard was so eager and did not explain many things clearly, except for those who were blinded by greed and thirst for power, some of them might wonder if there was some ghost in this.

However, David knew that Shazam's power didn't have any back doors.

Just look at Black Adam, who has transformed from a slave into the world's most powerful mortal, the wizard who betrayed the Eternal Council and gave power with his own hands has no way to deprive him of his power, so he can only join forces with others to seal him, and the same is true for Billy Batson who gave Shazam's power later.

In the face of Billy Batson's sloppy and impolite behavior, there is no way but to rush to address the human threat.

"Shazam!"

As he recited the word under the anxious face of the wizard, a dazzling thunderbolt slashed.

David's body was covered by a layer of red battle clothes, a golden thick lightning-like symbol on his chest faintly radiated, a white cloak fluttered behind him, and his whole face matured a few points, a bit like what he would look like when he was twenty-six or seventeen years old, exuding an aura as powerful and majestic as a god.

A powerful force filled his body, and he raised his palm, as if the thunderbolt of divine power that could pierce everything scurried between his fingers.

The strength of his physical body has more than doubled, and when he looks at everything around him, the dust that time flies in the hall seems to have slowed down ten thousand times, and he has the ability to speed like lightning.

"Alright, now you have the power of Shazam."

The wizard fell back weakly and fell back to the stone throne.

"Compared to the last one I chosen, you are a little special in all ways.

While there's still time, I'm ...... I'm going to give you one last thing. ”

……

"We have the same blood in our bodies after all."

Whew!

An icy cold wind poured in through the shattered windows of the building's upper floors.

In the luxurious and soundproof conference room, corpses turned into ashes all over the floor.

Sivana's body hovered over the edge of the window, and he looked down, below which was a bloody corpse.

It was his own brother who inherited the family property, and just now he did what he had always wanted to do, prove that he was not crazy, and then threw his own brother from the forty-six-story building. ，

But compared to other others who were burned into ashes by the thunder and lightning he sent, he still had a little affection for the sake of blood connection.

"At least there's a corpse, isn't it?"

Sivana's eyes flashed with sneer, and he muttered softly.

Drip, drip!

The shrill sirens rang out from distant neighborhoods, and police cars sped down the streets toward the scene of the fatal attack.

Changing to the other criminals, they had turned and fled uneasily when they heard the siren, but Shivana was suspended in place, and a trace of resentment and madness seemed to have been pent up in his eyes.

Now what else can stop him.

He wanted to prove to those who had laughed at him all those years that he didn't have any mental problems, that he wasn't crazy.

Let them see the power they have gained over the years!

"Beyonder? Superman? ……”

In this world, the only one who has the potential to pose a threat to him, Sivana estimates that there are only two people left.

But these two superheroes, one usually only appears in the capital, and this is the city of Fawcett, and the other never appears except in major world crises.

And Superman is only possible, Sivana sensed the boundless power of the sea in his body, he shot a thunderbolt, across a few hundred meters, the police car coming from the distance exploded instantly, was blasted into the sky, steel shards were scattered, and the surrounding glass was shattered one after another.

Like a bomb attack, many people were injured and fell to the ground screaming.

"Oh my God, help!"

"What's that!

Attack, there is a terrorist attack! ”

"Something shot into my stomach, help, I'm bleeding!"

"I think I saw a bolt of lightning?"

"Even if it does, Superman may not be my opponent."

Ignoring the screaming crowd of people on the street, his eyes burned as he looked at the finger he had just unleashed a terrible attack.

Now he is as powerful as a god.

"It's just that I heard that Superman and Transcendent have a lot of relationship, and Transcendent has only a few shots other than saving the world, except for the one that is suspected of killing Luther, the rest are all when Superman is in danger!"

Ecstasy crossed Shivana's eyes.

In other words, as long as you don't run into the transcendent, no one in this world can stop you.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke came out of his shoulder, and several hideous demon heads floated out, their eyes flashing with a dangerous scarlet gaze.

"Just now, we sensed that the wizard had found his successor.

You'll have to deal with him before he's familiarized with the power he's just gained! "The jealousy of the seven original sins has pointy ears and horns, and its voice is sharp and hoarse.

"He may not have left the Eternal Rock yet, but if we rush back now, you can easily kill him, and even allow the wizard to witness it for himself.

Be quick, though! Greed had a bloody mouth, and his thick tongue licked his lips.

Several other demons couldn't suppress their killing intent and joy.

In front of the sorcerer who has imprisoned them for thousands of years, killing the successor on whom he has placed all his hopes on makes even the laziness of the Seven Original Sins agitate.

"It's funny.

How long has he been looking? A dozen years or decades? ”

Just when he was happy, bad news came, Shivana put on his sunglasses, and his tone was as cold as the cold wind blowing from the abyss.

"There has been no result, just a short time before he died, he found someone with a pure heart?

Let me see what kind of person he chooses in the end! ”

Will he be a person who is really more pure than he was when he was a child, or an addict who was forced to use magic on the subway before he died?

……

"First of all, the Seven Primordial Sins Demons and other powerful demons have escaped one after another, in case they endanger humanity, you have to either destroy them or capture them back to the Eternal Rock."

The wizard's voice was extremely weak, and life was like a candle in the wind,

After the Seven Primeval Sins Demons were sent away by him, the other demons he sealed saw that he was extremely weak and fled.

"I met a guy in Kandak.

He can transform into a demon, and rumors are also from the six Hell Demon Kings. ”

David looked at him, slightly curious.

"What does it matter to them? Which of the Seven Original Sins Demons combined is stronger than that person? ”

The Seven Original Sins and the Six Demons of Hell, all of which are angry and arrogant...... There is a lot of overlap between the demons, and what does it matter?

Could it be that one demon can lend two parts of power.

"Could it be that Acton's descendants have found the magic crown?"

Shazam, the wizard, had an ugly face, why everything was crowded together, and he answered David's questions.

"There is more than one demon king, just like Satan has been held by more than one demon, the Seven Original Sins were once the seven demon kings who came to the world to cause chaos and were defeated by us, and the descendants of Acton have contracted other demon kings of future generations with the magic crown."

"In other words, the Shivana possessed by the Seven Primal Sins Demon should be better than Shabak."

David reasoned according to common sense.

"And Black Adam, he was the last Guardian we picked when the Eternal Council was still alive, but he used the power he gained to his own selfish purposes, and he broke free from our seals, and he needs you to deal with it."

The dying wizard confessed again.

David, who had just received a powerful force, nodded his head to note it.

"Anyway...... You have obtained the power of the six gods, and the responsibility of protecting humanity has been entrusted to you, and I hope you will not live up to this power. ”

"Finally...... Your body may not be able to live in harmony with this power forever, and when your body rejects it, maybe ten years, maybe ten years, pass it on to other people. ”

After two breaths, the wizard's face was a little better, and his voice was no longer so weak, and David knew that he was returning to the light, but he didn't quite understand what he said.

"My body, what do you mean?"

"I don't know, you know.

You have the blood of a god in your veins, and you are a descendant of a god. ”

"Me? Descendants of the gods? ”

David was stunned at first.

Is this in the background of the story of father Jonathan and mother Martha?

But then he thought of something.

"Thanos."

The template is completely fused, and he has all the advantages of Thanos' physique.

"Thanos is a descendant of a god, and his grandfather is Kronos, the god of time, but didn't Kronos become a god after death?"
