Chapter 277 Thunder Shazam
"First of all, I didn't take any extraordinary action. I think this should be regarded as a way to show goodwill. Moreover, I don't have any reason to attack you. After all, we are all human beings, right?"
Looking at the young man with sincere eyes, Zhang Yi looked very solemn.
He knew that this young man was like a frightened deer at this time. His heart was very fragile. Any action he took might destroy his impression of himself and break the hard-won trust.
The identity of the boy in red is not difficult to guess. Among the entire Justice League formed by older heroes, there is only one underage superhero. Although he usually acts in the form of an adult, in essence, he is still an underage superhero. Fifteen year old.
"Billy Batson, the descendant of Thunder Shazam, this generation of inheritors who embodies the power of the Greek gods, finally meets." Zhang Yi tilted his head slightly and said hello.
However, Zhang Ye's words did not arouse the boy's reaction, but made him more cautious. He stared at Zhang Ye with an expressionless face and spoke slowly.
"Who are you?"
"I am a wizard from another universe, codenamed Wu Crow." Following Zhang Ye's words, a crow flew out of nowhere and landed on the demonoid who was still suspended in mid-air. "Of course, you can also call me Zhang Yi."
"Other universes? The bridge between the divine world and reality has been cut off, and the entrance to multiple dimensions has been destroyed. How can you be a wizard from other universes?"
Billy's frown deepened, his eyes full of distrust.
Although he is only a child, his attainments in magical power are not low. He can clearly see the dark power floating around Zhang Yi. It is definitely not a power that a good person can touch.
"How about taking a longer view?"
Zhang Yi raised his hand, and green flames rose into the sky. Under his control, the entire dream world was distorted in the false flames.
Seeing this, Billy couldn't help but take a step back. He was always ready to wake up, but he didn't feel Zhang Ye's malice, so he just frowned and watched what Zhang Ye could do. What a trick.
Soon, green flames ignited everything around them, and the shadows of demons, heroes, and Darkseid all became illusory. With the injection of a special power, the world of Mirror Flowers and Moonlight was slowly born in this dream. .
Countless high-rise buildings rose from the ground in the light of the fire. The originally dark sky and full of destruction of Apokolips suddenly turned into the center of New York at this moment.
Looking at this scene in surprise, Billy's mouth, which had been pursed, opened slightly. He looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar world with astonishment in his eyes.
"What is this place?" Billy asked out of curiosity.
Without showing off, Zhang Yi slowly walked to a position about two meters in front of Billy, stopped, followed his gaze, and spoke. "This is another universe."
The Avengers Tower stands in the center of the city, and the letter 'A' on it flashes twice and then lights up.
"There is also an Earth in this universe, but on this Earth, the heroes who protect world peace are not the Justice League, but others."
Before Zhang Yi finished speaking, a red figure swung over from mid-air grabbing a spider's silk. Billy watched the shadow fly past his head without blinking, and his breathing became rapid.
In the sky, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s space carrier slowly approached, and the entire Times Square advertising screen also lit up at the same time. In an instant, the heroic figures of the Avengers heroes appeared on the big screen.
On every screen, there were scenes of different heroes fighting. The young Billy was immediately attracted to his attention. His eyes didn’t know where to look for a moment. He didn’t recognize any of these heroes, but this It didn't affect his desire to get to know these people.
However, as he watched, Billy suddenly thought of something, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
He turned around, looked at Zhang Yi, and murmured in a low voice. "They look great, better than me."
"Excellent?"
Zhang Yi patted Billy's shoulder and turned to look into the distance.
Billy was stunned for a moment and followed Zhang Yi's gaze, only to find that on the other side of the city, the scarlet color of destruction shrouded the sky like sunset, breaking the original peace in the city.
The flames of war enveloped Times Square, and the space carrier fell from the sky carrying billowing smoke. The images of the heroes on all the big screens were frozen one by one, and then turned gray.
High-rise buildings collapsed like dominoes and turned into dilapidated ruins. In less than ten seconds, all the peaceful scenes that came into view were swallowed up by the devastating war.
Seeing this scene, Billy's body trembled a little, and he gasped for breath. The entire dream also fluctuated greatly because of his emotions, and the edges of the dream continued to collapse.
"Heroes are not omnipotent. No matter how powerful they are, they will make mistakes and destroy the whole world because of some mistakes. This is inevitable."
Zhang Ye felt the instability of the dream and spoke softly while using his magical energy to support the stability of the dream plane.
"But we still have a chance to make amends, and that's why I'm here."
Billy raised his head and looked at Zhang Yi, who had remained calm.
".Really, is there still a chance?"
"How will you know if you don't try." Zhang Yi lowered his head. "If you lose hope yourself, you will never succeed. Besides, there are still many people in this world who have not given up hope."
"Hope?"
Billy curled his lips mockingly.
"In our case, 'hope' is Superman's Jiahui, but now I just feel that this is really a ridiculous word. By the way, do you know Superman?"
"I've heard of it." Zhang Yi nodded silently. "I have learned about some of the developments in your world, and to be honest, I think it is outrageous for those guys from the Justice League to initiate a war and send a child to the battlefield."
"Yeah." Billy raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Yi and asked. "Introduce me again, what is your name?"
"Zhang Yi."
"Yes, Zhang Yi."
Billy laughed to himself, then shook his head.
"I don't know how you invaded my dream, but you found the wrong person. I have retired now, and I am no longer a hero, so don't give me any hope."
"Billy."
Zhang Yi was about to speak, but Billy suddenly pushed Zhang Yi away.
"Don't call me that name!"
At this moment, the boy's long-suppressed emotions finally broke out.
Billy breathed heavily, suffering great pain in his heart. He tried his best to control the tears in his eyes and prevent them from falling down his cheeks. Looking at Zhang Yi, he gritted his teeth stubbornly.
"Don't talk to me about hopes, and don't tell me about plans or revenge. I'm not interested in these things now!"
Staring at Zhang Yi, Billy spoke in a hoarse voice.
".Last time I believed their plan, but guess what happened to me?"
The voice gradually weakened, and three hideous scratches slowly appeared on Billy's delicate face, spreading from his temple to his cheek, piercing his entire face, and one of his eyes lost its light forever.
Billy was standing on the ground with one leg supported, but the other trouser leg was empty and hanging lightly.
"This is who I am now"
Deep in Billy's heart, there seemed to be an extremely heavy mountain pressing on it. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, he could not break free from the shackles of pain.
Who would have thought that he was just a child if they hadn't seen what he looked like now.
After experiencing such a tragic failure at a young age, Billy had already lost everything. He didn't even have a way to vent. Who would have considered his ability to bear it.
Now, he can only find his complete self in dreams.
