Fawcett City is an old city that can be said to be half a century behind the times. The reason is that this city was once used by Shazam, the old wizard of the Eternal Council, to ask a powerful wizard, Ibis, to deal with it. The city has cast a spell that keeps time in the city stuck in 1955.
It was not until 1996 that the spell was broken, and the development of Fawcett City, which was pressed on the pause button, began to flow. Although it is still lagging behind, it is finally slowly approaching the appearance of the city on the normal timeline, and has a somewhat modern atmosphere.
The reason why the old wizard did this was just to prevent the evil from the outside from invading here, but the so-called evil from the outside has never appeared in half a century. Is it the spell that has the effect?
No, because of the above, if you look at it from a God's perspective, you will find that the modern inheritor of the new power of Shazam, Billy Batson, moved away from Fawcett City at the age of thirteen, which happened to be the time when the spell here failed. Year.
Quite a coincidence, isn't it?
It seems that this is a carefully designed living environment that deliberately made the city's development lag behind half a century ago, and people's mentality was relatively simple.
Then, in this environment, a child with a simple heart and a simple enough mind was raised to inherit the power of Shazam.
This one has a strong flavor of intentional manipulation, but it is worthy of being said to be the style of the Eternal Council, a secret force on the mysterious side of the DC Earth. In short, using the environment to create a successor to the power of Shazam, the old wizard Shazam is indeed It is done.
Today, this half-old, half-new city that is undergoing rapid development welcomes a woman who has traveled thousands of miles to pursue her and is even older than the city - Pandora!
Pandora was a little unlucky. She first arrived in Philadelphia, the city where Captain Fantastic was active, and relied on the information given by the old wizard to find Captain Fantastic's true identity and the real address of Billy Batson.
But what is a bit regretful is that before that, the young magical captain accompanied his adoptive parents back to his hometown to visit his sick grandfather.
These two cities, Philadelphia is in the eastern part of the United States, and Fawcett City is in the midwestern part of the United States, but Pandora had to travel back and forth.
Fortunately, this is not in ancient times. With the development of transportation, the scope of human activities has also been greatly expanded. If you want to reach a place, as long as it is not a wilderness with rare human traces, it is not too difficult to travel.
It only took Pandora one day longer than originally expected to get here, and she also had a specific address in Fawcett City that she got from the neighbor's house. If she wanted to find the other party, she only needed to follow the address. It doesn't take much effort.
. . . .
Fifteen minutes later.
"Is it the Batsons?"
Billy was in the study room of his hometown, searching for mysterious books and information and trying to prepare medicine to help his grandfather recover, when he heard such a shout from outside.
"Creak~"
Some old attic windows were opened, and a very young, apparently childish face peeked out from inside.
"Yes, this is the Batson family. If you are here to see my adoptive parents, I'm sorry. They are still in the hospital and not at home."
"No, I'm not here for them, I'm here for their son!"
Pandora replied.
There is a red seal on the raised face, which looks like the Indians in movies and TV shows. The only difference is that Pandora looks very attractive, more like a mixed-race Indian beauty, although she Not out loud in India.
【Looking for your own? 】
Billy Batson frowned.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Pandora. You should let me into the house first. I have something important that I have been asked to tell you!"
Obviously, it is not suitable to talk about something private and crisis-like when we are three levels apart.
Maybe it was his strength that played a role, maybe it was his appearance that played a role, no matter which one it was, Billy Batson agreed to the strange woman outside and come into his old home first.
"I'll go down and open the door for you!"
Billy Batson walked to the study door and was about to open the door and go out when he heard a voice from behind.
"No, I can enter from here."
Looking back, Billy found that the woman outside had rolled in through the open attic window.
"This is a three-story building!"
he said.
"I know, but with more strength, I can easily get up even to a higher floor."
Pandora once practiced Qing Gong in the East.
"No, I mean, that's a window, can't you just go through the door?"
Billy pointed at the attic window she climbed in and couldn't help but complain.
"Sorry, I'm getting used to it."
[What are you used to? 】
"Okay, so what do you want from me?"
The young man crossed his arms in front of his chest and asked. To be honest, Captain Fantastic was a little nervous now, because the Pandora in front of him was a very beautiful big sister, but he had never been alone in a room with such a woman.
"The day before yesterday, an old wizard named Shazam appeared in front of me. He asked me to come over and tell you to be careful of the upcoming crisis around you. He hopes that you can hide for a while to prevent a dark wizard named Adam from discovering you. The other party wants to take away the power of Shazam from you..."
Pandora briefly explained the situation, a dark wizard with the power of Shazam's ambition to change the world.
"The power of Shazam? A dark wizard named Adam? Wait, I think I've seen this name before..."
Billy Batson walked aside. His memory was not bad, but he pulled out a copy of "The Deeds of Shazam" that he had just read a while ago while looking for information from the stack of books next to him.
It is a parchment describing the successors of the power of Shazam in the past, and among them is some records of a possessor of the power of Shazam named Tes Adam who was corrupted by the power of darkness...
"Then why is it through you? Teacher, why doesn't he come and tell me in person?"
Billy Batson did not believe Pandora's words easily. This was the real world, and it was not a game that required various tasks.
It is obvious that he has the ability to directly convey what he is saying in front of him, but he has to use a third party or even more people to inform him of the specific situation.
"Well……"
Being reminded like this, Pandora was a little stuck, but at this time, someone helped her answer.
"Probably to prevent me from being targeted. I've been paying attention to the old guy's actions."
A strange voice sounded in the study room, and the shadow behind Billy Batson flashed, a middle-aged man wearing black tights - if it weren't for something special in this world, he would definitely be regarded as a transvestite and pervert. appeared behind him.
"who?"
Billy Batson was startled, jumped away suddenly, turned around and looked behind him.
"The book you are opening in your hand records my deeds, isn't it? Although some of the things in it are fabricated!"
The middle-aged man's voice was a little cold.
"Black Adam? Sha..."
Billy's voice was mute, and the magical transformation spell was blocked in his throat.
"Stand still and don't say anything. I won't do anything to you!"
Black Adam's hand was clasped in vain, but it seemed to be strangling Billy's neck.
A strong wind blew from the side, but Pandora's dagger had not yet struck.
With a bang, her whole body was blown away by a mysterious force. The solid wood wall of the house broke and bulged out. Pandora's butt was directly embedded in it, and her back felt a burning pain. .
"I thank you for bringing me here, Ms. Pandora. I have heard of your name. You were also persecuted by the hypocritical wizards of the Eternal Conference.
In your eternal life, you have been playing the role of a saint who prevents wars from happening and saves lives and heals the wounded.
Although because wars happen wherever you go, your reputation is not good, it can even be called bad, and you are called the Disaster Witch by the world.
But I know that the cause and effect here are reversed. If I can, I don't want to hurt you, but if you don't understand, I don't mind crushing you, the immortal, into powder like that table! "
Black Adam's other hand faced the desk, and with a fist-clenching movement, there was only a clicking sound. The desk, filled with Captain Marvel's childhood memories, was crushed into a sawdust ball by the powerful Shazam magic. .
Although Pandora is an immortal, her power is still within the realm of mortals. Although she has learned some magical spells, the power she uses is not as powerful as the modern firearms and weapons that have changed the era.
However, the hot weapons in the DC world have not changed the era completely. Black Adam proved this on the spot. Before Pandora even took out the sniper rifle parts in the piano case behind her to assemble it, the other party brought Billy Batson with her. He smashed through the wall of the study and flew out, quickly leaving towards the south.
Pandora, who was left on the spot, just felt a deep sense of powerlessness again. If it weren't for the lack of channels, she would have wanted to shout something like "There are limits to human power..." something like this, which is not allowed to be a human being.
Unfortunately, no, for tens of thousands of years, Pandora has not found anything that can provide her with inhuman power.
Pandora felt desperate for not being able to prevent this small crisis from happening, but this despair did not last long. With her tough mind, which had been battered by various failures over millions of years, she recovered forcefully. Come over.
Pandora took out something from her pocket, and she didn't fail yet. It was a card that was of great significance to this world, this era, and modernity - an IC phone card that is commonly used in phone booths across the United States.
In history, Pandora's numerous failures have proven that when trouble cannot be solved, it is not shameful to find someone who can.
Although this was not Pandora's original intention at the beginning, it was now beyond her ability. Even if it was not her intention, she could only do this.
She wants to make phone calls, she wants to shake people!
. . . .
"I'm telling you, I've solved your troubles for you, but if you just want to enjoy this benefit and don't plan to work hard and find ways to play a role in the future crisis of the God War, then I promise, As long as this world is not destroyed in the crisis and there is still a future, I will definitely throw you into the company of this visitor from hell afterwards, and you can become the punchbags of the Justice League together!"
Wu Ke was carrying Mopu Mopu who had already thrown himself into the street. Before leaving, he warned Constantine that if he dared to deceive him, even if the world was not destroyed or plunged into darkness, he would let Constantine himself The personal world becomes dark.
Constantine: "..."
He is good at dealing with monsters and monsters, even if ordinary people want to deceive, it is not a problem, but this kind of powerful guy obviously doesn't care about anything, and will directly trouble him if there is a problem. He stays in the human world and does not have to abide by the binding rules of hell and heaven. , but it was an existence that he couldn't handle at all.
Originally, Constantine was holding on to the idea that the sky was falling, and a tall man could hold him up. Even if the tall man really couldn't hold it up, as long as the world was not destroyed, people like him could always survive in all kinds of harsh and terrible environments. Go down and continue to survive.
That's right, even in the extreme environment of hell, before provoking the three kings of hell, Constantine would go and come back whenever he wanted. He was just like an original resident of hell. Compared with many evil ghosts and ghosts in hell, Constantine The devil is so cool.
However, now looking at Wu Ke who is gradually floating into the sky, he has a decisive attitude of 'even if you really go to hell, I will chase you down and get you up'...
[Ma Dan, you can’t fool around this time, you really have to think of a way to deal with the God War crisis that sounds very difficult to deal with...
Damn it, what are you going to do? Is it possible that you have to wait until the so-called two gods come to this planet and prepare to fight, then go up and use words to deceive, and say something like: Love the world, don't fight? 】
Constantine had a dark face, but on the surface he was patting his chest, and said to the young man who was flying in the sky but had not yet flown away, waiting for him to make a statement: "This is just a trivial matter, there is absolutely no problem. I am a professional in handling world crises!”
When talking about this, Constantine couldn't help but think of the past, many friends who helped him solve the crisis, and some friends who have passed away...
Suddenly, he felt a strong urge to make friends!
And just when Wu Ke received Constantine's assurance, nodded with satisfaction and was about to leave, Mrs. Xanadu ran out of the manor house: "Something happened to Pandora, she encountered a big crisis..."
. . . .
Unlike the original plot, Black Adam did not fight Billy Batson, but directly controlled Captain Marvel before he transformed and gained the power of Shazam.
However, Black Adam did not directly scream to kill Billy Batson. When he subdued his target, his methods could even be called gentle.
"If you don't struggle and cooperate obediently and give me the power of Shazam in you, I will ensure your safety."
