Chapter 221 Black Adam: Who can electrocute me?
"Run...Run..."
I'm Billy Batson.
I've got it all wrong.
I don't understand who I am or what I could be.
Look at what's happening around me these days...I thought this was a dream come true, a fantasy story.
After all, there are monsters in this world, right? There's even a knight, the Dark Knight.
I thought this was a journey of bravery or a hero's journey. But maybe it's all an illusion, just like the power of thunder can be obtained by shouting.
I'm beginning to suspect that I'm not having a dream come true, but a nightmare.
Dr. Phil might be right, being a superhero means seeing real darkness...not some trickery.
For the first time in my life, I saw a dead person.
Black Adam lifted him up and slammed him to the ground.
Hardly.
The ground was covered with bone fragments and blood, just like the scarecrow toy Dr. Phil showed me before.
As long as you bend it hard, it will gradually twist, and then finally...
fall apart.
This is not cool at all.
You see, in the short time since I became the superhero Shazam, I have met a lot of people.
Killer Croc once told me that being Robin was the happiest thing in his life.
Ivy said that she has saved tens of thousands of plants and that every day is very fulfilling.
I also met Mudface, who pretended to be my homeroom teacher and gave us four days of nonsense classes. If the real homeroom teacher had not been found by being stuffed into a closet and almost starved to death, he might have been able to pretend for longer.
He said that being Robin was really "fuckin' awesome".
Don't get me wrong, these are his original words.
But I don't think I'm ready to accept this.
At least not now.
"Ah ... Although I don't know why Batman made this thing so heavy and heavy, like a small brick, and it is also a full metal shell that is convenient for conducting electricity, but fortunately, he did not slack off because of this, but always carried this thing with him, which saved his life.
"Ahhh!!!!" A lightning bolt hit Shazam, and he fell directly to the ground while flying in the air, and then flew up again in a hurry.
"That spell, that spell... How do you recite that spell?!"
"Ah, I remember it!"
Shazam opened his hands and aimed at Black Adam who was holding the lightning and continued to strike down, and loudly recited the spell with a heavy mix: "Thunderbolt stops, lightning retreats!"
With a boom, it was seen that -
There was no effect at all.
"You actually tried to use magic against me?" Lightning flashed in Black Adam's eyes, and a larger and thicker electric current instantly created a deep pit where Billy had just been lying: "You actually dared to try to use magic in front of me?"
"You are just a coward, worthless!"
Billy ran away with his head in his hands.
"I master magic! I master lightning!"
The furious Black Adam stood in the air, wantonly showing the power that a magic user should have:
"In this world, the person who can strike me with lightning has not yet been born!"
He raised his hands high, and the plasma that was almost condensed into substance slammed into the ground fiercely, and the surrounding trees exploded into charcoal in an instant. A fierce mountain fire burned, and Black Adam, who stepped out of the fire, had a hideous face like a demon.
"The new magic guard... He made a big mistake in choosing you. I said you are not worthy of using this power, and you don't understand what this power means at all."
He walked in front of Shazam, who had begun to roll his eyes and collapsed on the ground.
"You don't understand at all, to save the world from the hands of those who enslaved it, I can do what I can do, I even killed my nephew, I used his sacrifice to exchange for the freedom of Kandak."
Shazam retreated in despair on the surface, but in fact he was secretly calculating the distance in his heart.
"Now your blood will help me liberate the whole world."
Black Adam walked in front of Billy.
"I must get the power of the Eternal Stone Castle, I must become the only guard of the wizard again."
"Fall to the ground!"
Shazam raised his fist that was ready to go, and hit Black Adam's forehead with a bang. This unexpected punch immediately knocked Black Adam back.
"Despicable!" He cursed: "Shameless sneak attack!"
"This is what Batman taught me!" Billy turned around and ran in Shazam's state, "This thing is much more useful than magic!"
But the next moment, he saw Black Adam reappearing in front of him with his hair standing on end.
"Your tricks have no effect."
Shazam wanted to resist, but was punched in the face the next second. The fist with a sonic boom hit his head and made a buzzing sound. He was grabbed by the neck by Black Adam: "Recite that spell and hand over the power of living lightning to me!"
"You...you want him so much?"
Shazam gritted his teeth: "Shazam!"
With a bang, a bolt of lightning struck both of them, knocking Black Adam back.
Billy, who turned back into a child, used his hands and feet and ran while shouting: "Help, Batman!"
"Shazam!" Another thunderbolt struck him, and Billy turned into an adult again. He felt sore and painful all over his body, and fell to the ground.
He had just tried his best to summon a transformed lightning to strike Black Adam to help him escape, so this transformed lightning was more aggressive than usual. Although it attacked Black Adam, it also hurt himself who was standing next to him at the time. Being hurt by your own magic spell sounds funny, but this is a process that almost every magic beginner will experience.
Not far away, the struck Black Adam also got up from the ground: "It's not that spell, idiot! I want you to give me the power of living lightning, not just transformation!"
Billy struggled to get up from the ground.
But at this moment, he heard a familiar voice.
"Who's calling Batman?"
"I don't know, you're hallucinating, Killer Croc... well, I mean Robin... Marko, you've expanded the smoke area too much, it's enough, no need to make it bigger."
"Add more lead powder, kid, we're working, not playing! Stop using your air walking shoes. I'll make some more buckets with ice..."
"Hey - help!!! Killer Croc, Robin!!! Come save me, I'm Shazam!"
Killer Croc and Weather Wizard looked at each other, Weather Wizard took the lead, rolled up a whirlwind under his feet, and flew over with Killer Croc.
He asked the big green crocodile in a concise manner: "Which one to beat?"
"The black one."
The Weather Wizard raised his stick, which looked like a magic wand but was actually an ordinary wooden stick:
"Thunderbolt explosion!"
Boom!
A bolt of lightning immediately struck Black Adam's feet. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been electrocuted on the spot.
"Your helpers again? Stupid guys..." Black Adam's eyes lit up with lightning, and he opened his hands to the weather wizard who continued to wave his "magic wand": "You dare to use lightning to deal with me? Look, idiot, this is how to use real spells!" Black Adam bravely faced the weather wizard who was waving his magic wand, and loudly recited the heavily mixed spell that Billy had just used: "Thunderbolt, lightning retreat!" He was very confident in his magic, and he had no intention of looking down on anyone. However, although the weather wizard was also dressed as a wizard, he was very sure that the other party's attainments in the category of lightning magic could never be higher than his. Therefore, he just stood there and recited the counter-spell without even dodging. Boom! Accompanied by the deafening thunder, the lightning column as thick as a bowl instantly submerged Black Adam, electrocuting him to a crisp inside and tender outside, and the whole person was twitching constantly. "What..." His eyes were a little out of focus, but compared to the physical pain, there was more psychological disbelief.
"What?" The weather wizard was also surprised. In all the years of fighting with the speedster, his lightning had never hit the opponent once. There were a few times when he hit the opponent head-on, and he even charged the opponent. So now he is basically used to using lightning as a blocking skill, and then using the blizzard range to suppress negative pressure, and then summoning hail and meteor showers.
But in all those years, it was the first time that someone was so brave to take his lightning directly with his face.
So subconsciously, he swung another lightning.
Black Adam still didn't believe it. He raised his hand that had been blackened by lightning again, and said a super loud and mixed spell with 100% of his strength: "Thunderbolt stops the ban, lightning retreats!"
Boom!
Looking at Black Adam who was twitching due to the electric shock not far away, the weather wizard looked innocent: "What a mess, what happened?"
"Impossible! What kind of spell is [Thunder Explosion]? He can't be unaffected by the counter-spell!"
Black Adam was going crazy, which completely violated the common sense of magic he knew.
"Actually, I just said it casually..." The weather wizard felt guilty.
"Hey, Marco, don't be distracted, the fog is starting to dissipate, you have to keep them going!"
The voice of Heat Wave came from behind: "The hot air can't blow up anymore, you have to come and push them up quickly. Cold, make some more ice, let's make some more water vapor-why am I the only one working now?"
Captain Cold, who was obsessed with watching the show on the side, ran over to help Heat Wave.
The weather that violates the common sense of seasons and science must pay a price. Once it is not controlled in real time, it will collapse immediately.
"Forget about it, Killer Croc, where is Batman, hurry up, we need him!"
Billy was not fooled by the appearance that the weather wizard had hit Black Adam stupid twice.
With Black Adam's speed, it was not difficult to dodge these lightnings. He just had a brain disorder and wanted to try whether his magic counter-spell could counter the superpowers of the weather wizard, so he was struck to pieces.
Billy grabbed Killer Croc's collar: "Where is Batman? We need him!"
"Ah, Batman is in the fog, but actually..."
Before Killer Croc could finish his words, Billy flew into the sky with his locator and went into the fog.
"Fuck, but... listen to me first!" Killer Croc shouted from behind, but Billy turned a deaf ear. Black Adam saw that the other party just ran away, and finally had to give up the fight with lightning.
He gave a fierce look to the innocent Weather Wizard standing next to him, and then he flew and chased after Billy: "You can't escape, Magic Guardian!"
"Bah! Bah! Don't think you can be so rampant for long!"
Billy shouted loudly: "Batman, help me!"
Across the heavy fog, Billy soon saw the figure of Batman in it.
Hey, strange, why is there a big monster with horns on his head standing next to him?
It doesn't matter, it's probably Batman's new subordinate.
Billy rushed directly to the other party: "Batman, save me!"
And Black Adam, who followed closely behind, also stared at the other party. Along the way, he heard Billy repeating Batman Batman, and his ears were almost calloused. The other party's appearance is also easy to recognize, with a pair of pointed ears, like a bat, isn't it?
Is this what the other party has always relied on and confident?
Got it. He would not make the same mistake as the weather wizard and let the other party take the initiative. After all, there was an enemy in front of him. No matter what, he would electrocute him first.
So, he struck the forehead of the mechanical superman who had not yet reacted, and also scared the steppe wolf who was thinking about swinging the axe behind him.
Steppe wolf:! ...?
The four people present looked at each other, but no one understood the current situation.
