Chapter 918 Transformation Switch and Helpline
"You!" Wizard Shazam almost collapsed on the spot when he heard Billy's words. When he was looking for an heir, he didn't know how many people wanted to obtain this power.
But now, the heir he favored among many candidates didn't want to inherit his power. He clearly saw the qualities of persistence and tenacity and optimism in Billy, so why was he afraid of fighting the seven deadly sins?
What Wizard Shazam didn't know was that the persistence and tenacity and optimism he saw in Billy were all because Billy wanted to find his mother. If he had to deal with the seven deadly sins, it would undoubtedly disrupt Billy's plan. There is no comparison between extraordinary power and the weight of his mother.
And the most important thing is that if you inherit the power of Wizard Shazam, it also means great risks. Wizard Shazam has been sleeping here for many years. If Billy had also been sleeping for so many years because of fighting the seven deadly sins, his mother would have died long ago.
For a teenager, waking up from countless years of sleep to face a strange era is too much to bear. Therefore, Billy not only has no desire for the power of the wizard Shazam, but even has some rejection.
"Since he has refused, maybe you can let me try?" Frank looked at the wizard Shazam with some excitement and asked, "Without the seven deadly sins, you can't test me?"
"I can feel that there is a quality of persistence in your heart, but your inner desire for power is too strong. My last successor is the same as you. I don't know if you will take the same path as him..." Wizard Shazam is still a little hesitant even at this time. Although his life has come to an end, he still doesn't want to see his power inherited by someone with ulterior motives.
You know, it is a disaster for the seven deadly sins to be released and integrated with Sivana. If Frank is really as evil as the previous successor, it will be too dangerous for this world. If Frank releases the previous successor, the whole world will be destroyed!
The wizard Shazam is not very clear about most of the things on Earth now. He does not know the strength of the Avengers, but the wizard Shazam can sense that the gods are no longer on Earth, and even the gods no longer pay attention to the Earth.
If the wizard Shazam has not signed a contract with the gods, then maybe he has no way to use the power of these gods, because the power used by the wizard Shazam is the power stored in the contract by the gods, so his power is not affected by the end of the era of the gods.
"If you must doubt, I really have no way to prove myself." Frank spread his hands helplessly. He really didn't know what he should do to gain the trust of the wizard Shazam.
It can only be said that sometimes things are so strange. Frank, who wants to inherit the power of the wizard Shazam, is not recognized by the wizard Shazam, and Billy, who is recognized by the wizard Shazam, does not want to accept the power of the wizard Shazam.
"If you don't inherit my power, and he is not qualified to inherit my power, then the seven deadly sins released are likely to destroy the world. Are you really not worried about the world being destroyed?" Wizard Shazam looked at Frank and then looked at Billy and made a final struggle and asked.
"I'm just a child. This is not what I should do. I just hope to find my mother and live an ordinary life. And you don't believe Frank. If there is really a problem in this world, you should take responsibility." Billy shook his head. Not only did he not mean to be morally kidnapped, but he even logically kidnapped Wizard Shazam morally in turn.
"What do you want to do after you get the power?" Wizard Shazam was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Billy who was still unshakable and was speechless for a while. In the end, he could only look at Frank and asked.
"Buzz!" As the voice of Wizard Shazam fell, a divine power emerged and acted on Frank.
Wizard Shazam didn't know whether Frank would change his mentality in the future and become a villain full of ambition. He could only test whether Frank would show signs of becoming bad now.
At least before Frank became bad, the seven deadly sins must be sealed, so as to reduce the damage to the earth. As for what to do if Frank really became bad, Wizard Shazam could only trust the wisdom of future generations.
"I want to be a superhero! Join the Avengers!" Under the influence of Wizard Shazam's divine power, Frank directly stated his ideal, which was also the fundamental reason why Frank wanted to obtain extraordinary power.
"Superhero? It's okay for now." Wizard Shazam was relieved after hearing Frank's words. At least if you want to become a superhero, you must deal with the seven deadly sins. So Wizard Shazam looked at Frank and said, "Come to my side, hold my wand, and call my name..."
"Name? Shazam?" Frank's expression was a little excited and confused. He tried to say Shazam's name.
"Crack!" As Frank's voice fell, a flash of lightning passed by, and then in the smoke and dust, a sturdy man wearing a red uniform, a white cloak, and a thunder logo on his chest appeared in front of the wizard Shazam and Billy.
"Is this? Divine power? Why did I grow up directly?" Frank looked at himself with a somewhat confused expression and murmured. Frank did not expect that the completely different things after the transformation were different from before the transformation.
"You remember to deal with the seven deadly sins demons! Also, through the wand, you can share your power and let others gain part of your power..." The wizard Shazam looked at the confused Frank and handed out his wand. , and gave instructions at the same time.
"Why have you struggled for so long when the power can be shared? I can definitely contribute this power to... hmm!? What's going on?!" Frank hadn't finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, because at this time The shape of the wizard Shazam turned directly into dust, dissipating in the wind like a corpse that had been weathered for countless years.
"Wardfa?!" Billy on the side also exclaimed and backed away.
As an ordinary child, it was a bit too scary to watch the wizard Shazam disappear from an old man into ashes. Even if there was no blood flying in this scene, it still scared Billy.
As Billy's words fell, Billy and Frank's consciousness fell into a trance. When they came to their senses, they were already back in the subway, and Frank was even still holding the wand in his hand.
"Are we being sent out?" Frank frowned hesitantly and muttered to himself, "That shouldn't be the case. Since I inherited the power of the wizard Shazam, I should be able to freely enter and leave the Rock of Eternity. And, how should I change back now? Will I stay like this forever?”
"Frank? What's going on? That old wizard just now..." Billy looked at Frank blankly, and said with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Huh?" Frank came back to his senses when he heard Billy's voice. He suddenly found some eyes around him quietly looking at him, which made Frank instantly alert. "Don't talk yet, we have to leave quickly. !”
Frank realized at this time that he was not the only one paying attention to the inheritance of the wizard Shazam. A large number of organizations and even official agencies had also noticed this.
Since there is no way to obtain inheritance qualifications, it is natural to keep an eye on every child who may obtain inheritance qualifications.
Therefore, even if they discover that children have disappeared, these official agencies have no intention of taking care of them. Instead, they silently wait for these children to reappear to see if they have gained extraordinary powers.
And it is obvious that Frank is very suspicious at this time, and it can even be said to be real!
After all, who in the right mind would appear on the subway wearing such a strange uniform? And no one from these official agencies can remember anyone wearing a superhero uniform on the subway!
"Whoosh!" Before these official members could react, Frank and Billy had already turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
Even though he has just gained this power and is still not able to fully master it, there is no problem for Frank in its initial use. He can sense that the speed he is showing now is far from his limit!
"Is this?" Billy, who was being led by Frank, was completely confused at this time. He didn't react at all and was taken to an uninhabited corner of the park.
"Originally I didn't want to bring you here. If you hadn't talked to me before, maybe I could have pretended not to know you. But you talked to me. If I didn't bring you here, you would definitely be Targeted!" Frank explained looking at the confused Billy.
After transforming into his current adult form, Frank can feel that his thoughts seem to be clearer than before. Frank doesn't know if this is caused by divine power, but this does not affect Frank's decision to make the right decision now. judge.
"Ah? Why am I being targeted when I talk to you?" The confusion on Billy's face did not disappear at this time, but became more intense. At the same time, a feeling of fear arose in Billy's heart, because He vaguely felt that something bad had happened to him.
"Didn't I say that before? The wizard Shazam... huh?!" Frank looked at Billy explaining, but when he just said Shazam's name, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed.
"Click!" The next moment, Frank's body changed back to the child's appearance. Frank could feel that it was not only his body shape and appearance that had changed, but more importantly, the divine power that had filled his body before had also changed. Gone.
"Could it be that? This name is the switch of divine power? But the problem is, the previous wizard Shazam also said this name, why hasn't he changed at all?" Frank frowned and thought in his mind, "And me I thought that Shazam wouldn’t let me transform, so would it be useful to just shout out?”
"Why did you change back?" Billy on the side looked at Frank with wide eyes and asked in confusion, "And why did you stop mid-sentence in what you just said?"
"Oh! I said before that it is not just individuals like me who are eyeing this extraordinary test, but also official agencies and various organizations. They are not qualified to participate in the extraordinary test, and they will definitely be eyeing every possible test. The target’s child.” Frank first explained to Billy after he came to his senses.
"And my transformed appearance in the subway will definitely attract the attention of those agency members. Under such circumstances, you have talked to me, so they will naturally target you..."
"What should I do? But I don't know you well. Even if they find me, I can't tell them too much information about you!" Billy opened his mouth and explained eagerly.
"They don't care whether you are familiar with them or not. They only know that you have talked to me and can know my name and what happened in the Eternal Rock from you!" Frank shook his head seriously and said in a deep voice.
"What should we do now?" Billy panicked. "If they are from an official organization, wouldn't they know my identity and find me soon?"
"So now we need to ask for help from another organization!" Frank took a deep breath and took out his phone, and directly dialed the emergency number of the Avengers. "Hello, my name is Frank Cassel, Jr. I have obtained the inherited power of the wizard in Fawcett City and have obtained divine power. I hope you can find me as soon as possible. I will not leave here..."
"Who are you talking to?" Billy's eyes widened instantly. He looked at Frank in shock, because he never thought that Frank would directly expose his information. What's the point of hiding here?
"Don't worry, it's the Avengers!" After hanging up the phone, Frank smiled confidently and said softly, "Even if the official organization is not trustworthy, at least the Avengers are trustworthy. Only they can help us solve the current crisis."
"Shua!" As soon as Frank's voice fell, a figure appeared beside Frank. The person who came was Diana who was rejected by the wizard Shazam.
After finding that she could no longer sense the power of Olympus near the Rock of Eternity, Diana released her perception in confusion and found Frank's location. At this time, Diana also received news from Jarvis.
"There is the power of Zeus? And it's not just Zeus, it's really amazing..." Diana said in surprise as she felt the power in Frank's body. (End of this chapter)
