"Him?"
Shazam, the old wizard, looked at Billy, who was pushed over by Merlin.
Butson, he shook his head: "He's not!"
”"He has experienced loneliness and hardship since he was a child, he has built a high wall in his heart, he is unwilling to have too much contact with other people, he is very withdrawn, and his heart is very persistent...""
There's something impure in his soul."
Old Shazam said, "I can't take any chances!
”"The last monster we created was a monster who fell into the dark because of paranoia."
Billy listened to what the old wizard had to say about him.He couldn't help but clench his fingers.He wanted to refute it, but he couldn't.The old wizard Shazam was right."
Trust me, he's a good fit."
Merlin's voice rang out from behind Billy, and the ghostly body rose from the stone chair.He hovered beside Shazam, and he placed his hand on the child's shoulder.He said, "He is a rare man with a rich magical physique, and the fact that he can see the brilliance of magic without practice is enough to prove his talent." ”"I don't think I need to explain to you how important talent is when it comes to magical practice.""
Talent is important, but soul is even more important."
The old wizard stubbornly said, "We made a mistake once and chose a person with an impure soul, and the result was a catastrophe.This time, I had to find someone with a pure soul in order to surrender my power. ”"Soul?
Sheer?
”Merlin let out a long laugh as he said, "You old antiques, you are always so concerned with these meaningless things that you ignore the essence. ”"You want to give your powerful divine power to your heirs, it should be a power that is enough to shake the world, and after suddenly accepting this power, you still expect a pure soul to continue to be pure?""
No kidding!"
Merlin said coldly: "Power will bring temptation, all kinds of temptations, I have experienced it myself, and so do you. ”"Shazam, why are you revered as a god by the indigenous people of Australia?""
When you were young, didn't you bask in that feeling of being admired by everyone?
Isn't the legend you left behind a testament to your pursuit of vanity?
”"You see, what you can't do on your own, and you expect your heir to do it?"
He spread his arms and said to the old wizard, "You sensed that my Horcrux was in Billy, and you were attracted to my soul and brought him here...
Do you think my soul is pure?
”"Well, my soul is purely because I died once!""
I left the sins and glory of the past yesterday, and I was born again when my soul was split.""
Of course I will be pure, because I am not in this world.""
But believe me, once I come back into this world, I'm going to be the most complex and hard-to-judge person in the world.""
The pure and pure soul is only a hypothesis, and it does not exist in this materialistic world."
Merlin put his hand on Billy's shoulder, and he said, "So what you need is not someone who is pure in heart, but someone who is firm enough not to lose himself after the strength is added." ”"I'm sure this kid can do it.""
Why?"
The old wizard also stood up, and he lit his staff, and said a little irritably, "Why do you think so?
You and he have only just met, can you predict the future?
”"Of course I can't."
Merlin said in a calm tone, "But I believe my friend, Paul could not have given my relics to a bad man in his eyes." ”"More importantly, I will teach him personally.""
You?"
The old wizard stared at Merlin, and he said, "Why?
”"The Supreme Mage is leaving this world, she may have left."
Merlin said, "Before leaving, she asked me to find a new guardian of dimension and magic for this world, and I don't want to miss it...
And fate, just at this time, sent this child to me. ”"To be honest, I don't think it's a coincidence.""
What nonsense are you talking about!"
The old wizard said, "The Supreme Mage has always been in Kama Taj and she has never left!"
”"That's fake."
Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Or if I put it another way, she's just a derivative of this world, just like you, and she may also be called the Supreme Mage, and she may also be called the Ancient One." ”"But trust me, she's not the one I know.And I reckon, she'll die soon...
It won't be long. ”Merlin's words made the old wizard's eyes widen.Reason was telling him not to believe everything this weird guy said.But another voice in his heart was telling him that Merlin was right.Truly...
It seems that to give a powerful power to a person who has never been exposed to supernatural powers, and to expect him to continue to maintain a pure heart after he has the power...
Unlikely.He fell silent."
You can give power to this kid right now."

Merlin said, "Or continue to wait here, and after 3 days, go to the tomb with your strength." ”"Let the monster you banished return to this world...
But there's no need to worry too much. ”Merlin whispered, "I think there are enough people in this world right now who are willing to protect it, and who are able to protect it. ”"Even if a monster from 5,000 years ago comes back, don't want to make too many waves.""
After all, I tested them myself before I left," he said. ”"Wait—" The old wizard looked up suddenly, and he stretched out his hand to Merlin, and he said in surprise, "Ah, I see!
You're Merlin.
Riley, Dark Raven, you knocked out all the heroes in the world and wounded Odin!
”"Do you recognize me now?"
Merlin touched his chin, and he said a little depressedly, "I've been waiting for you to recognize me, I thought I was a big man that everyone knows." ”"I don't care much about what's going on out there."
Shazam, the wizard, said, "I also learned from other places what you did 7 months ago, let me guess that the universe is accelerating because of you?"
It is said that before you died, you declared that you wanted to give the world freedom?
”"I did."
Merlin said in a calm tone, "Your appearance in front of me is proof...""
If it weren't free, you, the monsters you've created, and the Rock of Eternity itself wouldn't have appeared.""
Okay, okay."
The old wizard took a step back, and he made a strange courtesy, saying, "The presence of a Heavenly Father in the Rock of Eternity has made this place shine. ”"Not anymore."
Merlin shook his head, and he said, "That's not my strength, just some...
What should be discarded, that's all. ”"Tell me about business, old Shazam, my Horcrux is in the hands of this kid, and I will stay with him until it is returned to my friend.""
I'm going to teach him, teach him to use his powers, and at the same time teach him to control his mindset and prepare him for the showdown that will eventually come, his battle with that monster.""
If I can, I will also train him to be the next Supreme Mage.""
Of course, it's just possible."
The old wizard looked at Merlin.He looked at Billy again, looking blankly.
Butson, in the end, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.He placed the staff in his hand in front of Billy's eyes, and he said, "Hold it!"
”Billy subconsciously glanced up at Merlin, who nodded at him.So Billy reached out and took the staff.The old wizard Shazam looked at him and said, "You will take over not only power, but also a heavy mission, son. ”"Maybe it's fate that has brought us to this point.""
You're not the most suitable successor in my heart.""
There is a shadow within you that may consume you in the future, and it seems to me that it is a great adventure to give you power."
He looked at Billy, whose face was always gloomy, and suddenly a smile appeared, and his voice became softer."
But perhaps," he said, "you can prove to me that I am wrong by what you have done." ”"Hmm."
Billy is a kid who doesn't admit defeat.He gritted his teeth and nodded to the old wizard."
Hum" the huge magic power is like a volcanic eruption.Under Merlin's gaze, the heavy magic mixed with higher power turned into lightning bolts, which were gathered on the staff and transmitted into Billy's body at the roar of the old wizard Shazam."
I will give you the wisdom of Solomon!""
Boom" "The power of Hercules!"
”"Atlas' stamina!"
Shazam chanted the name of the gods, and with each call a bolt of thunder fell on Billy.
Batson's body roared like thunder and lightning, but the boy didn't feel pain.He was enveloped in magic, and those divine powers were changing his body."
The divine power of Zeus!""
Achilles' courage!""
Mercury's speed!"
Old Shazam's voice roared like thunder, and he looked at Billy in front of him, and he roared, "By the flow of power, the duties of the Eternal Council will also be inherited by you!"
”"Billy.
Batson!
Right now...
Shout out my name!
”“Shazam！！！”
A slightly childish roar rang out from the storm of mana.In the bombardment of an orange-yellow lightning, the source point of those divine power convergence, pure magic power exploded.Under the gaze of Merlin and the old wizard, a tall young man dressed in a red suit embellished with yellow belts, gloves and boots, and a white cloak rose from the magical smoke.He was out of breath.Billy grew up...
It seems that all of a sudden I went from a 15-year-old to a 20-something."
Uh, this..."

Merlin hovered beside the old wizard as he looked at the grown Billy, and he said, "Is this change in size normal?"
”"Of course."
The old wizard took a step back, like a clay puppet that had been tortured by time.After losing the divine power that sustained his existence, cracks like broken glass appeared on his body and cheeks.Between the ashes, he said to Merlin, "I can't send a child into battle...""
I've given him to you, raven, take back the pupil, be careful...
Black Adam!
”The old wizard's body collapsed completely, and the scattered ashes were propelled back to the stone chair he had been sitting on in the invisible wind.The ashes swirled around the seven chairs, as if to say goodbye to their long-departed brothers and sisters, and like a reunion."
What's wrong with him?"
Growing up, Billy was a really handsome young man, with neat black hair, big, godly eyes, and a strong physique, making him a man who could attract the attention of all girls.Crutching his extinguished staff, he walked over to the silent Merlin, and asked, "Merlin, Shazam...
Dead?
”"Boom" A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck Billy, and in the rush of lightning, he changed from an adult to a 15-year-old again.Merlin put his hand on Billy's shoulder, and he looked at the ashes that had vanished, and he said, "Yes, a weary soul finally rests." ”"But you, boy...
Your crucifixion has just begun!
”Merlin stared at Billy as he said, "It seems that 'Shazam' is your transformation word, and you must shout this name in order to invoke divine power...""
Tsk, what a terrible and shameful way of fighting.""
You should call me Mentor!"
Merlin hovered in front of Billy's eyes, and he said to Billy, "And, before you leave, you must learn the first magic from me...
I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but I think we have plenty of time to talk about other topics. ”"Now...
It's class time!
”————————— hours later, Billy.
Batson returned to the streets of Philadelphia.The kid's face turned pale, it seemed that his learning of magic was not going well, and that thing was much more difficult than calculus.Billy glanced at the red bracelet around his wrist, shrugged his shoulders, and found a phone booth on the side of the street.Following the number Merlin told him, a call was made.A few seconds later, the phone was connected, and a nice woman's voice came from the phone: "Hello?
Who are you looking for?
”"Is it Miss Zatana?"
Billy looked left and right, and he lowered his voice and said, "Mr.
Merlin's Horcruxes are with me." ”On the other end of the phone, Zatanna's eyes immediately narrowed, and she reached out and tapped on her sunglasses on the table.Icarus immediately began tracking the phone number."
What do you want?"
Zatana said in an unkind tone, "Threaten us?
Or...""
Uh, no, no."
Billy immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he hurriedly explained, "Merlin asked me to call you, and his Horcrux is for some special reason... was activated, but only in the Eternal...
Ahem, I mean, you can only communicate with him in exceptional circumstances. ”"He asked me to tell you that Heaven has noticed his Horcrux, and although I don't know what those angels have in mind, he told you not to rush to me first, prepare the materials, and protect Icarus."
Billy complained inwardly.He didn't know what he meant by it, what Horcruxes, what Icarus or anything like that.But Merlin, uh, the guru asked him to say that, and that's all he could say.He said on the other end of the line, "He also begs you to protect his family and keep them out of the Horcrux until he figures out what the angels of heaven are going to do." ”"Also, Merlin wants you to find a man named Deadpool and help him complete his current mission to rescue a princess...
He said that the princess had in his hands what he needed for the Blood-and-Bone Ritual. ”"Hmm."
After a few moments, Zatanna seemed to have written down everything, and she asked again, "What else did Merlin say?"
”"Nothing more.""
He said he was coming out of the place where he was trapped and it might take some time, so let you be patient," Billy said. ”"And who are you?
Child. ”Zatanna said, "You seem to have something to do with Merlin?
Are you his illegitimate child out there?
”"Uh, I'm not."
Billy said, "I am his disciple." ”"If there's anything else he needs to convey, I'll get back in touch with you."
With that, Billy hung up the phone and walked out of the phone booth.On the other side, in Zatana's living estate, Icarus projects a projection in front of Zatana's eyes.On the projection, Billy with a bag on his back.
Batson was walking down the street.His location and identity have been projected onto the screen."
Keep an eye on him, Icarus."
Zatanna looked at the child in the picture and said, "Merlin really knows how to direct people...""
I'm going to be busy, I'll call you if I need help
