Shadow of the Beautiful World

Suburban Philadelphia, night time, almost midnight.

Something fell from the sky at high speed.

boom

Amidst the loud noise, he landed on the empty ground in the outskirts, scattering the cement-cast ground in all directions.

The fragments peeled off and scattered, hitting the cars parked around, causing the harsh sirens to sound one after another.

It was a guy in a trench coat and sunglasses.

He was thin and hazy.

The damage from falling from a high altitude was enough to kill a person in an instant, but he turned around in the depression, and got up slightly staggeringly.

He confidently stepped into the trap set for him by that little bastard Billy Batson tonight.

In that empty room, as soon as he appeared, he was hit by a thunderbolt from Shazam Superman who was hiding there.

The clothes on his body were torn, his body was in a mess, and his chest was covered with blood.

But amidst the surge of evil power in his body, the wounds on his body are healing rapidly.

This is Sivana.

A Ph.D. in data science, but also proficient in occult knowledge.

He was once selected by the old wizard Shazam when he was a child, and was qualified to enter the Rock of Eternity, but he was considered impure in heart and failed to inherit Shazam's divine power.

He was excommunicated from the temple and has held a grudge ever since.

After growing up, he spent decades, using his knowledge of data science, looking for those same selected people from all over the world, and learning about their different experiences from them.

Using a very primitive, very stupid method, coupled with endless patience, he cracked the secret of the spell in the Temple of the Rock of Eternity.

He sneaked into the Rock of Eternity, took the magic pupil from the temple, was possessed by the Seven Deadly Sins, and because of the experience of being despised and rejected when he was a child, he injured the old Shazam and almost killed him.

But now, the guy who mastered the seven deadly sins is being beaten up by the inheritors of the old Shazam.

boom

Superman Shazam in a red and yellow suit descended from the sky, blocking Sivana's path.

Billy learned the lesson from last time. Under Merlin's guidance, he didn't talk nonsense, and he shot crisply.

The heavy fist swung down at the speed of sound, and in Shivana's panting block, the heavy punch broke through the barrier and hit Doctor Evil on the cheek.

boom

Shivana was thrown upside down by the blow, rolled in the air for several weeks, and fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.

You can't run away!

Billy yelled, clenched his fist and hammered at Sivana.

The latter raised his hand, and amidst the dark green disgust, a fiend of the Seven Deadly Sins roared and appeared.

It roared ferociously.

Four fists waved and collided with Shazam's heavy fist.

At this moment, a cunning flashed in Shazam's eyes.

crash

Between the fists colliding, blue lightning whizzed up his arm, and under the bombardment of the streamer like Zeus's thunder, the demon blocking the way in front of him was completely scattered.

Howling, it turned into smoke and rolled away, returning to Sivana's body.

Block him!

Dr. Evil fled with his wounded leg. He kept waving his hands, and several other demons were also called out, trying to stop Superman Shazam from chasing him like cannon fodder.

But this tactic of taking turns to advance is wrong.

A single demon can't stop Shazam.

There's still a possibility that they'll go together.

Doctor Evil left the last demon in his body to give him the ability to fly.

He was scared of being beaten.

He just wants to leave now and get back together.

In the next confrontation with Shazam, find a way to gather the advantage on your side.

He thought well, but the Seven Deadly Sins demon in his body disagreed.

Stop! Sivana, you idiot!

The thin, but evil-minded demon named Jealousy roared and said to Sivana:

Tonight is your last chance!

Shazam's successor is getting stronger every day, and you... you are not making any progress! You really let us down!

If you can't win tonight, we'll give you up...

no no!

Dr. Sivana, who was possessed by the Seven Deadly Sins, stretched out his hand to cover his left eye. In the socket of the left eye, his original eyeball had been replaced by an eyeball-shaped gemstone shining with a blue halo.

That is the source of his strength, that is the magic pupil.

According to the old Shazam, it was the incarnation of human sins that emerged from the box opened by Pandora.

Although the background is quite big, but the effect is really general.

In addition to being able to summon the incarnation of the seven deadly sins, scare ordinary people, and beat up a few not-so-strong superheroes, they are combined, and they still can't beat Shazam Superman.

Of course, this is not to say that there is something wrong with the magic pupil itself.

Things that can be closely guarded by the last ancient wizard of the Eternal Council must not be limited to weak chickens.

The reason it doesn't work is simply because it's not being used well.

In the words of Lord Deathknell, who doesn't know where he is at this time, it is...

This is not a problem of the power itself, but a problem of the user.

Dr. Sivana...

It's really not a good enough host.

His character is sharp, his thinking is very active, and his heart is full of cynicism, the anger of being despised and suppressed by his family since he was a child.

Being selected by the Rock of Eternity and entering the temple when he was a child also shows that he has a good magical physique.

But that's about it.

After all, after he got the magic pupil, he has been manipulated by the seven demons in his body. As the embodiment of the seven deadly sins, those demons are not interested in teaching Sivana how to use his power...

In other words, he wasn't lucky enough.

He didn't have another raven by his side to teach him the proper use of power.

Do not give up on me!

Dr. Sivana looked back at the night behind him, and the excited Shazam Superman knocked down the manifested demons that appeared in the smoke one by one. There was a look of fear in his eyes.

Not only the fear of being defeated, but also the fear of being abandoned by powerful forces.

He was a bullied kid...

Bullying, contempt, bullying, such things have never been many.

Even his family doesn't give him much warmth.

He was a problem child who hadn't grown up to learn any peace of mind from that shitty life.

He has been longing for power, so as to realize his revenge on the world.

In other words, this guy is a sociopath.

It was not easy to get the magic pupil, but before he started to retaliate against the society, he was taught by Billy Batson to be a man with magic. This filled Sivana with a fear that he would be abandoned all the time.

Devil...

Nor are they really good sources of strength.

Taught me!

Sivana, suspended in the air, yelled:

Teach me to use your strength, I will not escape, I will prove that I am better than him! I will prove myself!

Then open your mind! Fool.

A barrage of sneers ensues from jealousy, one of the seven deadly sins, as it screams:

Stop resisting our...strengthening of your soul! Embrace sin, feel the evil in this world, and draw strength from those corruptions...

We will teach you, but you have to accept it first, accept it without reservation.

Sivana's expression changed in confusion.

He may have been unlucky and didn't know enough about souls.

But he's definitely not an idiot.

Anyone who can rely on their own knowledge to decipher the entry spell of the Rock of Eternity is absolutely impossible to be an idiot.

He could guess that the request of these seven demons for him to open his soul was definitely not that simple...

But the problem is that, under the threat of being abandoned by power and returning to being weak, it is difficult for Sivana to make a real resistance.

When he landed on the ground, he looked at the brave Shazam Superman in front of him with hatred, jealousy, and envy. Negative emotions rose in his mind, like a flood that broke out, easily breaking through the dam of his mind.

ah!

Shivana let out a scream of hate.

He held out his hand to the laughing sin.

His other eye also switched towards the blue streamer amidst the wild laughter of the Seven Deadly Sins demon.

Under the call of jealousy hidden in Sivana's soul, other demons who were still fighting with Shazam Superman also turned into dark green smoke, roaring in between tumbling.

The night became cold and the wind howled.

Shazam raised his head, and at the end of his line of sight, the seven demons were constantly revolving around the big villain Sivana, like soaring furtive wraiths.

The smoke melted into the doctor's body one by one, like an inflated balloon.

His voice was no longer loud.

Like an octet howl, those echoes...

Those muffled echoes.

We are outnumbered...

Shivana, whose whole body was filled with fragments of blue-purple streamer, spread out his hands. Amid the bursting magic power of ghosts and creatures, Shazam couldn't help raising his arms, staggering in front of him.

His white cloak rattled in the cold, foul-smelling wind.

The big villain in front of him must have used some evil tricks. The pressure he brought to Shazam has increased by more than 10 times at this moment, as if a real demon god came to the world.

You are going to die...

He raised his hand, and the blue streamer gathered at his fingertips like a storm.

Under the gaze of those eyes that have been completely shrouded in the halo of chaos, Sivana showed a ferocious smile on his distorted face, and he said:

Die in the night, die in this moment, die in this moment...

You are not worthy of your strength!

He's threatening Shazam.

But in front of his eyes, Superman Shazam had a weird expression. He waved his hand, trying to remind the big villain who was speaking the second line, and said:

That...behind!

Don't interrupt me!

Sivana was even more angry, he roared:

You idiot without a tutor! You should be beaten!

After finishing speaking, he was about to smash the destructive lightning gathered by the magical power of the Seven Deadly Sins on the damned, difficult Shazam Superman.

Then...

boom

Bright, scorching lights lit up behind Shivana, and amidst the low roar of the engine, a burning, cool heavy-duty skeleton locomotive whizzed by.

Dr. Shivana, who was possessed by the seven deadly sins, turned his head 180°, which would definitely scare all the children to tears.

But alas.

Scared not to cry the guy behind him.

The face of a burning skeleton, a skeleton wrapped in hellfire, wearing a cool black leather jacket made of demon skin and dotted with many crazy gadgets.

On the seat of that damned, flame-covered locomotive, behind the laughing skeleton knight, sat a cold-faced black-haired woman in a dark red robe.

Tsk tsk, another kind of beauty in Xiangche.

boom

Sivana threw out the Destruction Lightning that was meant to be rewarded to Shazam, trying to stop that damned Skeleton Knight who ran over with a wild laugh and pulled out terrifying melting marks on the ground.

But the lightning hit the front of the fast-running locomotive, as if it was easily blocked by an invisible glass.

The mud cow enters the sea without any waves.

kuang

In Johnny's slightly frenzied screams, his burning locomotive hit Dr. Shivana head-on at the highest speed, carrying the unparalleled kinetic energy rushed out of hell.

Hot wheels rolled over his face.

And that pain, that humiliation.

All this made the demon of the Seven Deadly Sins in Dr. Sivana's heart unbearable.

And Johnny manipulated the cool locomotive, with a perfect tail swing, pulled out a scorching arc of light on the ground, and stopped in front of Superman Shazam who was stunned in place.

The badly learned skeleton knight stretched out his fingers and gave Shazan a tick.

Snapped

Sitting obliquely on the back of Johnny's motorcycle, the dark-haired beauty in a dark red dress jumped off.

She moved her long legs and stood in front of Shazam. The indifferent beauty stared at Shazam, and Shazam also looked at her.

Billy was a little puzzled, he knew he had never seen such a beautiful sister.

but why...

Is there a strange sense of familiarity?

well done.

The dark-haired beauty said something in a low voice.

The familiar tone, the syllables spoken, and the gentle light in the eyes all made Shazam's eyes widen.

Gu... mentor?

Shazam said in surprise:

You... are you a woman?

No, I am not.

The dark-haired beauty shook her head and said:

I just borrowed a body, give me the Horcrux, child.

Shazam immediately raised his hand and handed the red crystal cross to the black-haired beauty in front of him, who took it in his hand.

The moment the soul fragments from the same source came into contact, a cloud of chaotic magic power erupted.

But soon it was tamed.

Merlin manipulated the body of the angel Luther, and waved her fingers slightly, and the holy cross weapon that only the Bloodstone family could use lit up an arc at her fingertips.

The deeper soul connection transcends the shackles of blood, and the endless reincarnation liberates the complete fighting form in her hands.

Made of crystal, the beautiful, crystal-clear warhammer has a straight and artistic hammer body extending from both sides of the hammer handle, and a sacred power bursts out from the surface of this cross warhammer.

Merlin stroked the cold hammer.

She turned her head to look at Shivana who had climbed up from the ground and the seven deadly sins demon in his body.

She curled her lips and waved her fingers to Shazam and Johnny beside her.

The angel walked towards the big villain with black ruts on his face and his imposing manner.

Holding the crystal clear cross hammer in her backhand, she said:

Don't meddle... I'll come...

Behind her, Shazam stared dumbfounded at the big sister, who was in perfect shape, walking towards the host of the Seven Deadly Sins with an exaggerated artwork warhammer.

She waved a hammer casually, hit the enemy's forehead, and easily knocked Shivana, who had fused the Seven Deadly Sins, to the ground.

Shazam is a tough opponent.

In front of the berserk Merlin, he was like a little sheep who was powerless to fight back.

Let her be ravaged.

so cool!

So strong!

but...

Shazam carefully asked the flaming skeleton knight leaning against the locomotive:

Mentor looks in a bad mood... Has anyone messed with him?

Oh, this one.

Ghost Rider shrugged and said in a low voice:

It probably came from the anger of being forced to dress up as a woman...

Just to remind you, child, if you don't want to be imprisoned in hell for 10,000 years by the newly promoted hell lord... completely forget everything you saw tonight.

The skeleton knight glanced at the ignorant Shazam beside him, and said:

Understand?

PS:

I just saw this chapter saying that some readers are curious about Merlin's core of power.

Brothers who have been reading books know that unless there is no other way, I will not write some repetitive routines.

I can tell everyone that Merlin's core strength is not a demon, because the book Overlord has been used. As for what the real women's bigwig will use to fight, let me give it a go.

But it is definitely not the power of demons...you can rest assured on this point.
