I want to have a date with Superman

The DC universe is a world that is extremely unfriendly to orthodox practitioners.

First of all, power has long been divided up by the big guys. There is a lot of energy in the universe, but everyone has an owner.

As long as you want to be extraordinary, you will inevitably be in heavy debt.

A debt that cannot be repaid in a lifetime.

Secondly, even if a practitioner has the destiny of the protagonist, temporarily solves the problem of magic debt through adventures along the way, and finally reaches the "first peak" of practice - becoming a god, he will encounter people whose physical fitness cannot keep up with the intensity of magic power. problem.

Simply put, the body, as a container, can no longer carry the divine power of the gods.

Physical fitness refers to more than just physical strength.

It's not about practicing hard skills and becoming invulnerable, you can definitely increase the upper limit of the magic power you can carry.

For example, Coke is filled with a lot of gas, and the bottle containing it has to withstand great pressure. If Coke is put in a plastic bag, it will explode.

At this time, the requirements for the bottle are tough and strong.

If you want to store sulfuric acid, plastic bottles will melt. No, not even cans. You can use glass bottles.

If the temperature of the liquid contained is 800 degrees for one moment and minus 100 degrees for the next, the glass bottle cannot hold it. Instead, a bottle made of aerospace metal is needed.

At this time, the requirement for the bottle is a "special" material.

Magic power is the sum of cola and various acids and alkalis. It requires sufficient physical strength, preferably a superhuman body of steel, and the physical body must be able to withstand the erosion of various high-level magic powers.

For example, Ivy was originally made of flesh and blood, but her physical strength and magic power increased and her level became higher and higher. Her body gradually became energy, with its material attributes decreasing and energy attributes increasing. Her flesh and blood almost became part of the green of all things.

The greenness of all things is the sum total of the plant power of the earth.

To become part of the greenness of all things is to become a plant, to become a "wooden man."

So Ivy was ridiculed by Selena as a "tree man".

If in the world of Xianxia, ​​abandoning the physical body and existing in the form of energy as the soul would be the mainstream, it would be better and more comfortable than flesh and blood.

However, the energy in the DC universe has its owner. Training oneself into a pure energy soul is not equivalent to making oneself into a delicious dish?

Therefore, after a mage in the DC universe becomes a god, there are only two ways to go: Either you are lucky, and the "bottle" of your body is just strong enough and not eroded by magic power.

There are quite a few such mages, and most of them are favored by gods.

It's not them who pick the energy, but the gods who have a certain energy, who pick them who have a certain physical talent.

For example, Thunderbolt sand sculpture Billy, such as old Shazam himself.

Well, old Shazam wasn't chosen.

He had better luck. He found the singularity spell of "stealing divine power attributes without taking responsibility", and specifically stole the power suitable for his body.

The second situation is more common. When the body cannot bear it, the gods integrate all the essence of life, practice experience, and magical power into magic props that will be used for a lifetime.

Such as Doctor Fate's helmet.

The helmet was made of N metal and contained all the power and wisdom of the God King Nabu.

Another example is Zha Kang’s lighter.

It is also made of N metal.

If Zha Kang becomes a god in the future, he may transform into a lighter

Of course, Zha Kang is now very cautious about magic power. He is now a great master, and his total magic power is still about the same as that of an apprentice.

In the future, he may be like the old Shazam, dragging his old body that is dilapidated but unable to let go.

But now that DC has a weirdo like Harley, the mages have another way out: borrow money from her, and use her "protection against all powers in the DC universe" power to defend against the erosion of the body by magic.

This is something to talk about later. There may be mages who take the third path in the future, but the owner of the scarab statue obviously has no chance.

The beetle statue of Blue Beetle is an exclusive artifact created by the ancient divine wizard who accidentally "picked up" an alien technological artifact that fell from the sky and used it as raw material.

Much like Naboo.

Naboo's helmet comes from a Senagon alien spacecraft that landed in ancient Egypt tens of thousands of years ago.

It is the Senagan civilization that is now competing with the Lann people for galactic supremacy.

Although Naboo and old Shazam are now arrogant and arrogant, at the time, they were just the younger brothers (subordinates) of Hawkman and Hawkgirl.

N metal belongs to the ninth metal, which is one level higher than heavenly silver and all the divine metals in the eight divine realms.

N metal can make the soul of a person immersed in its power immortal, and the soul can be reincarnated indefinitely with memories.

This is how Hawkman and Hawkgirl came to be. They have lived in the universe for countless thousands of years, and even served as Kryptonians. It was not until the ancient Egyptian era that they finally reincarnated on Earth.

After that, the earth seemed to have some kind of attraction that could only enter but not leave. In the years to come, their souls would always remain on the earth.

"What did the scarab teach Ted?"

Harley doesn't believe what Old Shazam said. Since this scarab is the true form of the wizard, does it need to leave the Blue Beetle in a hurry? Is it possible that after Ted dies, it will be buried somewhere forever? It can move on its own!

And, if you were going to warn him, why not tell the truth?

She felt that Scarab and Shazam, two old villains, were setting up a fate for Ted that would end soon.

It’s not that they give him revelations, but they use him to realize the future they want.

"Didn't he tell you? There are only three scenes in the revelation, the ghost, the mysterious lady, and Lex Luthor." Old Shazam said.

"What's the meaning?"

Old Shazam hesitated: "It's up to him to understand it himself."

Harley stared at his old face and said, "Do you want the power of 'God descending to earth'?"

Old Shazam was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"You just answer whether you want to or not."

"No fool would think so."

"Okay, today I will give you a favor greater than the sky," Harley pointed at herself, "Come and take it, take away the power of God from me."

"If I go to get it, will you resist?" Old Shazam asked strangely.

"I will beat you to death." Harley said calmly.

"What kind of favor is this? If you say it, it means you didn't say it. It's just teasing."

"Yes, what kind of favor is this? You know that Ted can't understand it, but you still insist that it is a revelation for him. You think you are an expert from outside the world, giving you guidance and favors. Tell me, are you teasing him?" Haha Lee scoffed.

After being exposed in front of his face, old Shazam was still calm, but he still had to show embarrassment on his face, expressing that he was ashamed.

"You've got the scarab, is it time to leave? I have something important to do right away."

"Don't change the topic and explain clearly the revelation and Blue Beetle's destiny." Harley said coldly.

Old Shazam said sarcastically: "You didn't even know Blue Beetle before."

"I know you now."

Lao Sha sighed in admiration and said: "First of all, I only have a partial understanding of the true meaning of revelation.

I had a vague idea of ​​what the ghost represented, but Lex Luthor and the mysterious lady left me baffled. "

"Luthor." Harley thought of Luther's strange behavior starting a few months ago.

"What does the ghost represent? It doesn't even have a host now."

"A ghost without a host is scary." Old Shazam said quietly: "Ghosts are the number one thugs in heaven. Do you think rational and reasonable thugs are scarier, or do you think angry thugs are more terrifying?"

"If you don't provoke it, you don't have to be afraid." Harley said.

"Well, that's right. Don't be afraid if you don't provoke it."

"Who provoked it?" Harley frowned.

Old Shazam said helplessly: "All mages who have borrowed the power of God, whether it is the power of heaven or the power of hell, have provoked it, and it is coming to collect debts."

"At this time?" Harley asked in surprise: "Why?"

Hecate can go to the gods and magicians to collect debts, and so can God.

All magic giants can initiate their own "magic debt crisis".

But Hecate had a reason to collect the debt, and she wanted to take revenge on the gods who played with her emotions.

The old God has been stable for tens of billions of years, what is he planning now?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Harry's mind like lightning.

“Shit, multiple debts?!”

Even if the mage only borrows "a little" magic power, the owner of this little magic power will demand everything he has as a price.

This is why the magic debt crisis is so scary.

The question is, if a mage borrows the power of both God and Hecate, how can he repay the debt?

At this time, his possessions include: a soul, a lifetime of wisdom, the magic of God, the magic of Hecate, and cherished people or things.

If Hecate is allowed to collect the debt first, the most she can do is leave God's magic power behind and take away whatever is left.

If she is greedy enough, she may even take away God's power. Even if she does not use it herself, she can seal it up and reduce the overall amount of God's power.

So now God wants to seize the initiative and collect the magic power before Hecate's seal is broken.

"God certainly didn't plan to collect the debt so soon, but he didn't want to lose money - less profit means loss, so he wanted to pay off his debt before Hecate came out."

Harley said with a complex expression: "God doesn't want to suffer a loss, and the other big guys definitely don't want to suffer a loss either. When God, the big brother, 'finishes the meal,' they will immediately go up and collect the leftovers.

The earlier you go to dinner, the more you eat. "

Old Shazam nodded, "It seems you understand, even if Hecate only seeks revenge from the gods, the other extraordinary beings will also be involved in 'Twilight of the Gods'.

When everyone clearly knows that Hecate is about to start a magic debt crisis, all creditors will start collecting debts in advance.

Now God has taken the lead, and the person responsible for collecting debts for Him is the ghost, the number one goon in heaven.

It's still a ghost that has lost its host. I'm asking you if you're afraid. Anyway, I'm very afraid. "

"How much power did you borrow from the old God? Over the years, you seem to have done a lot of dirty work for Him and you haven't paid off the debt yet?" Harley asked.

Old Shazam smiled bitterly and said: "Every debtor wants to pay off his debt, and every creditor does not admit that the debt is 'paid off'."

Glancing outside the hall, his tone became a little anxious, "Harry, I've said what needs to be said, please leave quickly."

"Who are you waiting for?" Harley stood still.

"Damn it, he's coming." Old Shazam cursed and pointed to the stone throne on the left, "Come here quickly, sit on this chair, and I will use magic to cover your whereabouts and breath.

No matter what happens later, don't talk, especially don't laugh. "

At the end of the sentence, his old face seemed to turn a little red.

"Laughter?" Harley sat on the stone throne, her curiosity growing.

"He's here!" He gave Harley a quiet look. Old Shazam seemed to have had all his energy drained away. His face showed exhaustion and age. He held the staff with both hands and his head was lowered, as if died.

"Buzzing." A little golden and red spark lit up out of thin air in the hall of the Eternal Castle. The spark took the shape of a portal in the void, and then a door really opened, and a bald middle-aged man wearing glasses walked in excitedly, " Finally, I’m in this place again.”
