Hespera ignored the struggling Doctor Fate and walked directly in front of Teth-Adam.
"Now, make your decision. Will you come with me?"
"What is your purpose?"
Adam was not intimidated by her imposing presence; he had, after all, once been a "God," and his psychological fortitude was strong enough.
Hespera said bitterly, "Shazam!"
As soon as Adam heard that name, he immediately said, "Count me in!"
He had always wanted to reclaim his Shazam Force, but he knew clearly that he couldn't do it with his own strength.
Now that a rare opportunity was presented to him, of course, he would seize it firmly.
Hespera nodded in satisfaction, but she was not satisfied with Adam's strength.
Without the Shazam Force, he was merely a relatively strong warrior.
Don't doubt it, in the movie, Teth-Adam, in his mortal body, could directly take down several heavily armed security guards and escape from the deep-Water prison.
So his combat ability is beyond doubt, but this is still far from enough.
"Your Highness, let me. I will make him pledge loyalty to you…"
"Greed" tempted Hespera in her ear, and she unconsciously did as it requested.
"You need to be stronger to fight our enemies."
Hespera extended her finger and touched Teth-Adam's bald head.
The power of "Greed" quickly spread from her fingertip to Adam's body. The feeling of energy filling his body once again surged into his heart, giving him a peculiar sense of satisfaction.
But this satisfaction disappeared the next moment.
Not enough, this is far from enough! I need more, more!
"Greed" was very satisfied with this body, strong enough, both physically and mentally, and also possessing sufficiently intense desires.
Teth-Adam stood up and glanced at Doctor Fate on the ground. The Dr. also saw him.
"Adam, you can choose to be a good man!"
It was Kent who said this to him, still trying to persuade Adam to do good.
But Adam showed a wicked smile, "You're wrong, old man. The most powerless people in this World are the good ones."
He understood this truth when his entire family was assassinated by King Acton, so he never would, and never will, be a good person.
The cost of being a good person is too high.
Adam stepped forward and, as in their first battle, grabbed the helmet of fate.
Kent and Nabu separated again, returning to their mortal forms.
"Your power comes entirely from this helmet of fate. I imagine without this, you can no longer meddle."
"This is my last warning to you, old man. Next time, I will not show mercy!"
This time, Adam did not throw the helmet of fate away but kept it.
Nabu tried to resist Adam, but his will was suppressed by "Greed" as soon as it arose.
This won't do.
The will of "Greed" smirked and sent a message to Nabu.
It's you! Nabu sensed the power of the Sin and was extremely shocked.
Nabu's duty is to fight chaos, and the seven deadly sins are also accomplices of chaos, constantly causing trouble from ancient times to the present, so he naturally recognized them.
"You'll see, this World will fall into our hands sooner or later. No one can eliminate us, because we are symbiotic with humanity…" "Greed" laughed loudly, its magic directly sealing Nabu's power.
Nabu's power was indeed immense when he was whole, but now he was sealed within a helmet of fate, unable to exert even a fraction of his strength.
The Sin, after all, were demons of the heart that existed since ancient times. Sealing a pagan God who was not in his prime was no problem at all.
Moreover, in this Human World, they have an endless supply of energy. In modern society, the phenomenon of materialism is far more intense than in the ancient times when they caused chaos.
Teth-Adam held the lifeless helmet of fate in his arms and looked at Hespera, saying, "Now, what should we do?"
"If I let you meet Shazam, can you reclaim your power?"
Adam nodded affirmatively, "As long as I can touch the Wizard Scepter, I can reclaim my power!"
"Very good!" Hespera nodded in satisfaction.
"But we need more help, you and I, we should seek the help of the Gods."
Hespera wanted to seek aid from the Gods.
The New God Realm is established in the fourth dimension. Those Gods who still remain in the Human World are, strictly speaking, unable to see the Gods in the God Realm.
Although it is not easy to see Gods in the Human World, there are ways to convey one's intentions to the Gods.
As long as one prays to the Gods in a temple, the power of faith will transmit their intentions to the Heavens.
Before the barrier between the God Realm, where Atlas Mountains is located, and the Human World was erected, the Three Goddesses had repeatedly used this method to contact the great God Atlas.
But after the Wizard raised the barrier, this connection was severed, and now thousands of years have passed.
However, over these past few millennia, temples have still been preserved in the Human World.
Temples still exist on Paradise Island, Atlantis, and some places in Greece.
Naturally, they chose the path of least resistance, and Hespera and Adam flew directly to Greece.
After they left, the other members of Checkmate dared to come out and clean up the mess.
The medical team helped Kent Nelson up, and he immediately grabbed one of them.
"Quick! Tell Hawkman about this, and the Justice League!"
Without his helmet, Kent no longer possessed the ability to foresee the future, which made him feel very insecure.
He suddenly found himself a bit laughable.
He had always sought a way to escape fate, yet once such a thing happened, the only thing that could give him a sense of security was still the helmet of fate.
Perhaps it was true, as Nabu said, that his wearing the helmet was a destined choice... Kahndaq Hall of Justice.
Calypso awoke from her coma. The moment she opened her eyes, she immediately jumped up, her dagger clutched in her hand.
..."You want to fight me in close combat? Are you serious?"
Ladon couldn't even defeat me, and you?
Calypso looked towards the source of the voice, where Dane and Anthea stood together.
"An..." Calypso's face turned ugly.
"Did you betray us?"
Anthea quickly shook her head: "No, Sister, I'm also a prisoner."
Calypso saw the shackles on her hands and somewhat believed her words.
Then she turned her gaze to Dane, sneering: "Atlas's daughter will never surrender."
But when she tried to activate her Chaos Magic, she found she couldn't use it at all, so she posed for a long time, but nothing happened.
The scene was quite awkward, with Calypso maintaining her posture, like a movie set without special effects.
This made her lose face a bit.
"What did you do to me?"
Dane pointed to the handcuffs on her hands, and Calypso followed his gaze, seeing that the handcuffs looked exactly like the ones on Anthea's wrists.
"These are magic-nullifying handcuffs, Sister. With these on, we can't use any magic."
Anthea couldn't bear to watch any longer and explained to her.
"Despicable!" Calypso roared.
Dane just rolled his eyes, too lazy to continue arguing with her. He said to Anthea beside him:
"She's all yours. I've been more than fair to you two, so don't cause me any more trouble."
Anthea nodded vigorously like a pecking chick.
Dane left the room after speaking.
Leaving the two sisters staring at each other.
"Anthea, explain what's going on?"
Calypso asked with a dark expression. She had just carefully sensed it and found that not only Chaos Magic, but even the power of jealousy was no longer detectable.
She wasn't even sure if it was still inside her body.
Anthea simply said: "It's all over, Sister, that's just how it is."
She took the dagger from Calypso's hand and slowly lowered it.
"Also, Shazam has lifted the barrier covering the God Realm and resurrected the Tree of Life. We have no reason to continue fighting."
Calypso's expression changed, and she grabbed Anthea.
"Is what you're saying true? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Anthea nodded: "I saw it with my own eyes. The Tree of Life has revived, and the God Realm is also recovering. In just a few hundred years, it will become a new holy land..."
"But it will never be able to restore its former glory from Father's time, will it?" Calypso sneered.
Anthea persuaded: "Our era has long passed. Humans no longer need us. They are very powerful on their own and can do things that even we cannot."
Calypso threw her hand away and turned her head.
"I absolutely don't believe it. I need to see the God Realm with my own eyes!"
