Shadow of the Beautiful World

Strange, who was attacked on the dark mountain path, was not panicked.

He had fought against these monsters affected by alienated flesh and blood in the city before. Their strength was not strong, and they were even less worth mentioning than those dangerous beasts that were completely eroded by chaos.

But too many incoming monsters can also make him scramble.

He lacks the powerful power to clear the board in one go like Doom or Wanda.

Only more common methods can be used to counter this attack.

But the danger does not lie in these manipulated monsters, the danger comes from the deeper darkness.

boom

Strange swung his ax to chop off the head of a monster, raised the wand in the other hand, released the Fiercefire Curse, and a ball of scorching flames spewed out from the top of the wand, like dragon fire, killing the monster in front of him. Burn them all.

They were infected by chaos, and also inherited the weakness of those cursed flesh and blood, they are afraid of fire!

whoosh

Just when Strange gained the upper hand, a sharp surprise attack came from behind, and the high-speed rotating stone cones hit the Wild Mage like a torrential rain, but the latter didn't react.

Seeing that he was about to be pierced by the stone cone, the seemingly ordinary red cloak behind him swung suddenly, leading Strange into the sky, narrowly dodging the blow.

This surprised Ebony Maw, who was secretly attacking.

The weakest contestant in front of him actually hides his strength?

whoosh, whoosh, whoosh

More stone cones were smashed into the sky, and those sharp things rotated at a high speed. As long as they came into contact, they would open a big hole in the human body, and they were extremely fast and numerous in number.

This made Strange keep flying around and dodging.

Ebony Maw raised his hands, and the invisible power of thought rushed into the sky like a poisonous snake. The moment Strange released the magic shield, the body of the wild mage was caught.

In the great pull, his whole body was pulled towards the Ebony Maw out of the darkness.

The latter carried its left hand on its back in a very stylish way, and the moment Strange fell over, its right hand was raised, and it slashed downward like a knife.

bass

The sharp mental power easily sliced ​​through Strange's magic shield, and the blade-like sharpness left a blood-oozing scar on the Wild Mage's neck.

At the moment before his throat was cut, Strange jumped away from Ebony Maw's side with a Displacement Charm, and he appeared behind the mountain path, clutching his neck with one hand and clasping his wand with the other.

Golden light spots danced in front of Vatum's wand like sparks, which made Ebony Maw's eyes flash with disdain.

Your tricks must be very popular with children.

Ebony Mew raised his finger, and more manipulated monsters rushed from all directions. It looked at Strange, and it said:

But I heard that you need to chant spells when you cast spells?

Strange didn't want to answer the question.

But he ignored Ebony Mew's strange power. When he cast a spell next time, he was shocked to find that his tongue seemed to be paralyzed, and he couldn't make any sound at all.

It's really weak.

Ebony Maw shook his head, the rocks under its feet cracked, like a small suspended platform, supporting it to float into the air.

With a flick of the finger of the thin and weird guy, more stone cones were shaped, and the transparent, sharp needle-like weapon that was used to threaten Loki before was also used.

Unable to cast spells, Strange put his wand back into his pocket, held the battle ax in his left hand, and pulled out a golden shaped trident from behind with his right hand.

He is ready to fight to the death.

Perhaps, this place is his last battle.

You still want to struggle...then struggle.

There was a sneer at the corner of Ebony Maw's mouth, and it said:

The harder you struggle, the more painful your death will be. I will enjoy this...

boom

The sound of heavy objects colliding interrupted Ebony Throat's joy, and a monster with a broken neck whirled and smashed at Ebony Throat's feet.

Ebony Maw raised his head, and saw a short, boy-like guy in a hoodie walking out of the mountain road behind with a bloody baseball bat in his hand.

Billy Batson grabbed the baseball bat he found somewhere, and hit the monsters one by one with precision.

He put a hoodie on his head, jeans, aj shoes from his girlfriend, and headphones on his ears. He looked like a cool junior high school student.

The baseball bat in his hand was already stained with stinky blood.

Hey, ugly!

Billy raised his head, waved the baseball bat in his hand, and stared at the ebony throat in the air with his big piercing eyes. He pointed to Strange with a surprised face, and then stretched out his thumb, pointing to himself .

He said in the tone of a street man:

I'm covering this guy now! Something's coming to me!

whoosh

Billy was answered with a bunch of rocky spikes that were thrown at him.

And Billy's reaction was also very crisp, he licked his lips with his tongue, and grabbed the baseball bat with both hands, as if swinging a stick to hit a baseball.

shazam!!!

Amidst Billy's roar, a golden magic thunder fell from the sky and bombarded the young man in an instant.

The golden thunder light followed his body and traveled in all directions, even the ordinary baseball bat was covered with dancing thunder and lightning.

The swung stick hit the monster in front of Shazam's eyes, and a terrifying, superhuman power erupted at this moment, crushing the monster's body into a ball.

The ball of blood gushing out was like a golf ball that had been blasted out. During the supersonic collision, it slammed into Ebony Maw in the air.

The golden thunder and lightning followed the rush of flesh and blood, and the whole of Ebony Throat, who was caught off guard, flew into the sky.

Beside Shazam Superman who has completed the transformation, those hideous and ugly monsters have been smashed by the magic lightning, and on this mountain road, there are only black wreckages left with their flesh and blood evaporated.

Superman Shazam didn't intend to let Ebony Throat go. He turned into a golden bolt of lightning and rushed into the sky. The baseball bat in his hand had been broken by the blow just now.

So Shazam clenched his fists, and hammered Ebony Maw on the surface of Ebony Maw from left to right. The first punch smashed Ebony Maw's protective shield, and the second punch hit the ugly guy's abdomen, making Ebony Maw gray. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

But just when Shazam was about to take advantage of the victory and kill Ebony Maw with a punch, a round of golden portal suddenly lit up behind Ebony Maw, like an open ring, pulling the seriously injured Ebony Maw into it.

Don't run!

Shazam roared and wanted to rush up, his small half body plunged into the ring-shaped portal, and the next moment, the portal quickly closed, and the light spun faster, like a jumping cutting saw.

go out!

A silver streamer suddenly flashed in the air.

Accompanied by the neighing of the steed, an indifferent lady riding on the steed, wearing silver armor and holding a lance, kicked Shazam in the stomach, kicking the reckless magic superman out of the closed portal.

swish

Shazam spun around flexibly in the air. He clenched his fists and looked at the female knight on a white horse floating in the air in front of him with resentment. He shouted:

Who are you? Why stop me?

She saved you!

After Ebony Maw was seriously injured and left the field, Strange, who was unable to speak, also recovered his language ability. He shouted to Shazam in the air:

Kama Taj's teleportation magic is not just for defense and movement. When it closes, it cuts the space like the sharpest knife. If you were not pulled out just now, your body will be chopped into pieces !

I don't think so.

Shazam curled his lips, feeling a little aggrieved, but he still knew what to do.

He crossed his hips and looked at the indifferent female knight in the air, with a strange geometric helmet covering her eyes and ears, and silver long hair flying behind her head. He frowned and said:

You are a spirit body... You have the same smell as the heroic spirits who fought Doom before.

My name is Brunhilde, and I am Hermione's knight spirit.

The female rider on the white horse floating in the sky said in a calm voice:

My master invited the two of you to talk to her in detail. While you were fighting each other like wild beasts, my master has discovered the hidden secrets of this world.

Please come with me, no matter whether you want to continue to fight Doom, or you want to use another way to win the battle, you will need the help of the Master.

The female knight explained her purpose.

She was riding a tall war horse also wearing silver armor, suspended in the sky, waiting for Shazam and Strange's answer.

Raven's two disciples did not immediately agree to the invitation.

Shazam fell back to the ground, he winked at Strange, the two walked further away, Shazam scratched his head, he said:

Uh, my current state is not very suitable for thinking, so you say, what should we do?

Compared to this, I'm more curious...

Strange glanced at the thunder and lightning symbol on Shazam's chest, and asked in a complicated tone:

Why did you save me just now? I am also your competitor. Wouldn't it be better to sit and watch me get sent out by Ebony Maw, and then you come up and send Ebony Maw out?

That's what I intended.

Shazam crossed his hips and said indifferently:

But I know that you found something from the city, something that the old man gave you... When you communicated with him, I hid outside the door and eavesdropped. Do you want to save the world?

I... I don't know either.

Strange moved his fingers, and he said:

I've been thinking about this since I entered this world. If it's just pure fighting, then the mentor doesn't need to create such a world at all. He threw us here, and there may be other meanings besides fighting.

The Supreme Mage is powerful, but he also has his duties.

The wild mage said in an uncertain tone:

That's a status that was set up for protection. Responsibility comes before power. According to Brunhilde, Hermione seems to have thought of this. She hasn't come forward to participate in the battle. She acted earlier than me.

Maybe...

Strange looked at the mountainous area shrouded in darkness in front of him, and at the dark forces twisting and rising in the vision of magic, he said:

In addition to relying on force to defeat all enemies, finding a way to save the world in the shortest possible time is our second choice. But unfortunately, not everyone thinks so.

Ebony Maw, Loki, and Mage Mordo who rescued Ebony Maw just now, and Doom who is now in the upper hand, they don't seem to care about this world, they only care about the outcome itself.

It's almost impossible to take into account the world in your confrontation with them.

What's there to hesitate about?

After listening to Strange's analysis, Shazam curled his lip at the child who looked like a big adult but was actually a minor. He said to Strange:

It must be to save the world!

He said in a confident tone:

This world can still be saved, we can save it, that old man also begged you, and you also promised, you must do what you promised others! No matter how difficult it is!

If the premise of becoming a supreme mage is to give up the standard of being a hero, then I would rather not have it. This may cause me to lose my relationship with Kara...but if I only care about myself, I will definitely be severely punished by Kara when I go back. Beat me up.

After finishing speaking, the shy Shazam turned around and walked towards the heroic spirit waiting behind him.

The wild mage looked at Shazam's back, and he understood why Shazam himself said that his current form is not suitable for thinking... completely disregarding his own interests, completely disregarding the current situation, and making choices from the heart.

Really like a child with justice in his heart.

What about yourself?

What choice do you want to make?

This question didn't stay in Strange's mind for too long, he thought of another level, his strength was not enough to fight other competitors, that is to say, he didn't have a second choice.

There is no more choice, so naturally there is no need to hesitate.

Wild Mage took a few steps forward, he caught up with Shazam, reached out and patted Shazam on the shoulder, he said:

Then let's save the world together.

————————

hum

A golden ring portal lights up in a cave on the other side of the mountain.

The expressionless Modu returned to the cave with his seriously injured Ebony Throat, and then unceremoniously threw him on the cold ground. Ebony Maw sat up with difficulty and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

It raised its head and saw Loki sitting by the bonfire in the cave.

The previous explosion also injured this beautiful Asgardian beauty, and several tourniquet bandages were attached to her face, which seriously damaged the strong sense of temptation that she exuded.

Loki played with the spiritual scepter in her hand, she looked at Ebony Maw with a look of prey, she said:

Hey, good friend, it took me a lot of energy to save you... This is also thanks to Your Excellency Modu. Both Deathblade and Proxima are dead, and you have no helper, Ebony Maw, you Also seeing how strong Doom is, we have to think of another way.

But fortunately, I found a 'new friend'.

Loki glanced back.

Behind the burning bonfire, on the straw in the cave, lay a pale girl in red.

Wanda, Scarlet Witch.

Crimson energy entangled Wanda's body, repairing her injuries, and the helmet she wore on top of her head, which could prevent mental disturbance, had been removed.

And in Wanda's closed eyes, there was a ray of golden light shining.

She is Loki's new friend.

Hmm, maybe a new weapon would be more appropriate.
