Chapter 278: The Next Target
Standing quietly, Zhang Yu looked at Billy in the roar indifferently.
The surrounding crumbling city was finally reduced to ruins, and the red flames and gunsmoke became the main colors of the dream, and in the very center, Billy's broken and emaciated body was particularly visible.
It is hard to imagine what a fifteen-year-old boy would become after experiencing such a thing, in the most energetic years, he almost died on the battlefield of an alien planet, and his home was about to be destroyed, which is simply unacceptable to a child.
"Don't you want to say something?"
Billy, who was panting, slowly calmed down, and he stared at Zhang Yao, who still maintained a flat face and was silent, and his body shook a little.
After a pause, Zhang Yu spoke.
"I'm not going to advise you to stay calm, Billy, it's not your responsibility, it's not the pressure you should bear, you need to vent, and that's what the entire Justice League owes you."
Looking at Zhang Yu in a daze, Billy could no longer suppress the pain in his heart, and tears burst out of his eyes.
Slowly approaching Billy, Zhang Yu didn't know how to comfort him, there is no 100% empathy in the world, just like there is no real circle in the world.
Putting his arm on Billy's shoulder, Zhang Yu didn't speak, just stood quietly.
Zhang Yu has always been very bad at comforting people, so he can only try his best to accompany him silently, after all, these emotions still have to be digested and resolved by Billy himself in the end, and outsiders can't help.
Unless, erase his amnestics, let him forget these unbearable pasts
But after hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yu still gave up the idea.
The divine power of the Greek gods is still flowing in Billy's body, and those great powers have become a part of Billy, and the old gods have not given up on Billy, so he should give him more time.
For a long time, Billy has been smiling in front of outsiders, but what is hidden behind the smile is a pain that ordinary people can't understand, he has always regarded himself as a member of the Justice League, and he should be the existence of protecting the people.
But only he understands that he is just a child, and he has put too much pressure on himself, and no matter how much he tries to hide it, these emotions and negative energy will still find him when he is most vulnerable.
"Me, my family, my friends"
Sobing, Billy clenched his fists.
Both. Dead"
In the Justice League, Shazam is an equal to them, and heroes, including Superman, will regard Shazam as their peers, and for the younger generation of the Young Titans, they regard Shazam as their predecessors, which is very respectful.
However, only a few people know that Shazam's true face is nothing more than a child younger than all of them, even the youngest hero in Young Titan, who is older than Billy.
And Billy is also very keen to put on a stand in front of these big brothers and sisters, which makes him very happy in his heart, and it is also his favorite thing to do.
But now, the brothers and sisters are all sacrificed.
Billy's mood was as if his soul was being tortured, and the pain was indescribable.
Looking at Billy, who was pale and clenched his fists, Zhang Yu deeply realized his mental haggardness, and Billy had been tortured like this for countless days and nights in the past two years.
“.”
It didn't last long, and Billy silently put on a red hoodie and hat, hiding his face in the shadows.
"Sorry, I don't usually do that."
"I know, you're strong." Zhang Yu smiled slightly, admiring Billy very much.
"Hmph"
Billy turned around and hummed softly in his nasal voice, then he calmed down and spoke in a hoarse voice. "You're right, sometimes it's much more comfortable to vent."
"So, are you still willing to go back out of the mountain?" Zhang Yu asked.
Hearing this, Billy turned his head and pretended to be strong in reply. "What are these words, I'm a superhero, I won't give up on this path, and I want to avenge my family."
Finally, Billy added.
"I don't want a third person to know about what happened just now."
Looking at a peeping crow, Zhang Yu coughed dryly, and then he politely did not answer the conversation, but turned to ask a little seriously.
"We need to get the rest of us together first, I'm in Gotham right now, with Batgirl and Batwoman, Billy, where are you now?"
"My goal is to destroy the gathering points of those demons, I have no place to live during this time, Louise has contacted me before, but I don't want to contact them, if you need to, I can go and meet you." Billy said after a moment's thought.
"It would be great if you could, how long will you be there?"
"I'm not too far away, in two days, if I'm going to join you, then I'll have to avoid the attention of those demons, which will slow me down." Billy is colorful.
"Time is not an issue, your safety is the most important thing." Zhang Yu suddenly remembered that he had almost forgotten the purpose of his trip, so he asked again. "By the way, Billy, do you know where magic is still in this world?"
"Magic?" Billy was stunned for a moment when he heard this, as if he didn't understand what Zhang Yu was trying to say.
"To put it simply, even if it is an energy source or carrier with strange energy, it can also be a rare beast from other planes." Zhang Yu explained.
"I probably understand, you should be talking about a power similar to divine power, if the Eternal Rock is still there, maybe I can help you, but now, whether it's the power of demons or the portals to other planes, it's gone, I don't know how to help you."
Billy shook his head silently, but he quickly thought of a candidate.
"Perhaps, you can ask Konstantin, he has a lot of skills about magic."
Konstantin.
Zhang Yu was a little tooth sore, but unfortunately, there is no American Justice Society in this world, if only Doctor Fate was here, there must be a lot of forbidden knowledge about magic stored in the helmet.
If it were a normal universe, it would definitely be impossible for Zhang Yu to devour the Helmet of Destiny, because it was no different from killing a superhero, but if it was a universe on the edge of the apocalypse, it would be different.
It's a shame.
However, looking at Billy, Zhang Yu suddenly thought of something.
"Billy, if I'm not mistaken, you said earlier that the Rock of Eternity was destroyed, right?"
"Yes, the demons have ruined quite a few places on Earth." Billy replied.
"That"
Zhang Yu's eyes were bright, and he looked at Billy and asked softly.
"Where are the seven deadly sins that were sealed by the wizard Shazam back then?"
Hearing this, Billy froze in place for a moment.
