Hazy clouds enveloped the city, and huge lead-gray clouds covered the sky. Gothic-style buildings rise from the ground, forming a continuous silhouette under the haze, as if shrouded in pitch-black magic, and the iron lock-like gray gas fills the entire city, as if slowly engulfing the tired and fallen soul.

This is Gotham, the city that is dark all day long, even during the day.

Shen You changed into a night outfit and followed the direction marked by the bracelet to a dark and dirty alley.

Sewage overflowed the streets, and the fragile windows were covered with a thick layer of dust, as if it had accumulated dust from the ages, and even the lights at the entrance of the alley looked dim and dim.

A dead end.

Shen You stopped in front of the alley and confirmed the coordinates again. The marked place is indeed here, and I am not looking for the wrong place.

"If I were you, I'd get out of there, kid."

An old voice sounded behind itself. Shen You turned around and saw an old man appear at the entrance of the alley behind him.

The thin body, the dirty coat, stood there as if it had blended into a shadow. His face was thin and old, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to silently tell of his weathered past, and his deep hooked nose was covered with traces of erosion by time.

On the surface, he looks like a vagabond, but he exudes an indescribable majesty.

"Get out of here, now."

The old man snapped, less like a request and more like an order.

"While you can still walk, kid. Otherwise......"

Before the words were finished, a strange laugh echoed in the shadows of the side.

"Oh hell," the old man frowned, "it's late. ”

I saw that the shadow at the mouth of the alley was surging like a fluid, and soon it rose up, forming a black strange shadow.

The thing had a human-like body, but carried a large black-green carapace covered in dense prickly hairs. Fluorite-like eyes flickered in the darkness, and the legs and feet were like hundreds of slender silver tentacles, which made people shudder.

"A demon, a lackey of the dark arts." The old man snorted disdainfully, "When did even an unfashionable minion like you dare to face me?" ”

"Just from the fact that you're too weak to sit on the throne of the Rock of Eternity, old thing."

The Demon Spirit Monster laughed twice.

"Nine thousand years, and every day you are getting older and weaker. Finally, now it's not so good to fight? Old stuff? ”

Good guy, nine thousand years old, actually older than me as Ultraman. Shen You said in his heart.

Eternal Rock, Sorcerer...... He seemed to vaguely guess.

This old man is probably the old wizard in the movie "Thunder Shazam" who gave Proportional Batson the ability of the seven gods, the original Thunder Shazam.

That old guy is really not small, the top wizard in the world. In both the original work and the movie, it was because he was too old, so he searched all over the world for an heir who met his conditions and "had the purest heart" to replace the divine power he had.

It's basically a beautiful manga magic version of the traditional Xianxia story of "the master is about to hang up, and he is in a hurry to find a disciple to give him nine thousand years of cultivation".

The wizard snorted in a deep voice, "I may be old, but I am still the guardian of the Eternal Rock, the ruler of all magic in the world, and the suppressor of ancient magical beasts!"

Who are you to dare to be my enemy? Quickly retreat! ”

With a loud shout, the wizard raised his right hand, and light and electricity suddenly appeared in his palm!

It's like grasping the actual thunder in your hand, throwing it like a javelin piercing. The golden lightning illuminated the entire alley in an instant, and all darkness was dispelled, like Zeus throwing lightning from the top of the Olympic Games, or Odin riding an eight-legged horse and throwing his eternal spear!

And then......

...... And then nothing happened.

The lightning struck the spirit, and it may have had the effect of "HP-1".

Even Shen You was silent when he looked at it.

It turns out that the special effects are so gorgeous, but in fact, the output is about the same as nothing......

The opposite side was unscathed, but the wizard's knees bent, and he reacted as if his waist had been hollowed out.

"I ...... It's too weak......" he gasped, "I've defeated ancient demon gods and suppressed countless calamities. I don't want to end up in such a field one day......"

"Hahahaha, I'll just say, your time is over, old man. The Rock of Eternity is already in our pocket, and all the magic of the world will be our master! ”

"Don't think!"

The old man stood up stubbornly, and his thin body revealed a tenacity that was different from that image, like a green bamboo unwilling to break in the wind.

He took a deep breath and stopped in front of Shen You with his body.

"You go quickly, young man, and get away from this place." He said with difficulty, "I may be old, but I still have a few hole cards, and it won't be so easy for the demons to take me down."

You take the opportunity to hurry..... Wow! ”

As he spoke, he vomited another mouthful of blood.

Shen You: "......"

No wonder the old man is so anxious to find an heir, and he is really about to hang up. But also, he is still a mortal, and because of the power of Thunder Shazam, he has extended his life to more than 9,000 years old, which is enough to defy the sky, and he should have died a long time ago.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said tenaciously: "I have guarded this world for nine thousand years, and even if my fortune is cut off, I will never regret it."

And even if you step on my corpse, you will find that this world will always have its guardians. Today, with the blood of Shazam the wizard, I will make you evil spirits understand......"

However, the old wizard could not finish his words.

Just as he was talking about this festival, the direction he protected with his body suddenly burst into a burst of bright light.

Shine on the canopy of heaven and tear through the darkness.

Spice Ray!

The demon spirit was also stunned for a while.

It didn't expect the blow to come, or even if it did, it couldn't do anything about it.

In that rushing beam...... There is a great terror in it!

It was nothing more than a subordinate demon, and it had almost never seen such an exaggerated battle in its entire life, and it could hardly imagine what level of magic could match such power.

MDs are all liars! The old wizard who said that he was still breathing, who could go up and step on two feet? Where did this monster come from?

A thought flashed through its mind at the last moment of its death.

The world is so scary, I want to go back to hell......

And then it was filled with light.

As soon as the cannon fell, the light of the stars dissipated, leaving radial ionization traces in the air, and the electric snake snapped.

Shen You withdrew his right hand, and the light energy hand cannon on his arm automatically deformed and folded, shrinking and returning to the bracelet.

Another wonderful use of bracelets, four-dimensional storage compartments. Just like the glasses used by Sero to transform are hidden in the bracelet, Shen You's bracelet also has a storage function.

Shen You turned his head to look at the old wizard: "What did you just want to say?" ”

The old wizard opened his mouth halfway through his generous speech, and swallowed back the burning and tear-jerking words in the second half.

The atmosphere is all set to this point, but the other person is not dead, and the opposite side is seconds.

There was a sense of embarrassment in the air.
