Hivana knelt on one knee and bowed solemnly according to ancient Egyptian etiquette.
"This power is very strong; you must learn to control it."
"I know, Master, I won't let you down."
Tes-Adam nodded, pulled Shazam by the collar, and led him to the round table, where they sat down on a stone chair in the center of the dimly lit hall.
"From this moment forward, I am the master of the Stone of Eternity."
Shazam closed his eyes in agony.
Why don't you want to remember that it was you who gave it to me?
I got it back.
"You're dying soon. After you die, I will naturally be your successor."
"No, this isn't yours."
Shazam sighed: "I have found a new successor. This boy's heart is far superior to yours. He will lead the world to a new future."
You are lying.
“I have no reason to lie to you. I have already given him the new power of the Six Gods.” He paused for a moment, then advised in a weak tone, “The world has changed. The monarchy has fallen, the gods are gone, slavery is a thing of the past. Now is the era of democracy and freedom. Adam, stop. Don’t think about changing or salvaging anything. Let the people decide their own future. If you really want to do something, be a good person.”
nice guy?
Tes-Adam said with a happy smile
"You said the same thing five thousand years ago, and I did as you said, only to watch my comrades and brothers die tragically. Now you've come again. Do you think I'll believe you?"
“Father, we are different. You are the protector. You can give up your own feelings for the truth. You even dare to give up your beloved daughter, but I can’t do that.” Tes-Adam clenched his fist: “I only want to use my strength to build a home, a perfect, free country without oppression.”
Shazam said painfully, "You'll only bring trouble to the world."
"I will do better, together with Isis."
Shazam stared at him and sighed, "Rameses was right. Your mind is twisted beyond redemption. You are not worthy of the power of the six gods."
Whether it's worth it or not isn't up to you to decide.
Tes-Adam snorted: "Don't think I don't know why the 923 gods chose you. Mercy? Peace? Kindness? Humility? All that nonsense. They chose you simply because you're smart enough to compromise and never go against their will."
"All the gods are hypocrites. They appear elegant on the surface, but secretly harbor countless shameful deeds. The seven pantheons are no exception."
Mount Olympus was filthy and obscene: father-daughter adultery, mother-son incest, things that mortals had never done before.
The Egyptian gods fought for power and were arrogant, regarding their worshippers as pigs and dogs. How many skeletons were buried under those temples and pyramids?
Indian maharajas were greedy by nature and used scriptures to control people's minds, turning good people into pigs and dogs;
The American sun god and the Mayan feathered serpent god were one entity. They used living people as sacrifices and ate human flesh. How were they different from wild animals?
African sorcerers are even more brutal; like demons, they use black magic to reclaim the souls of flesh-and-blood infants and create weapons.
As for Dongxian Palace...
Tes-Adam grinned and said dismissively, "If they hadn't become enemies, the world would have been unified long ago."
"Shazam, my great father, don't you know all this?"
Shazam silently shook his head.
"Admittedly, the gods are out of place in many ways, but they are the protectors of this planet. Without them, the world would have been destroyed long ago."
"They're just protecting themselves."
Chapter 1541 Black Adam and the Gods
In the hall, Sivana sensed his eyebrows rise and his expression become indescribably strange.
As an archaeologist and magic enthusiast, he had dreamed of the Age of Gods, but he immediately lost interest after hearing Tess-Adam's description.
Mount Olympus is undignified and decadent; the Egyptian gods are vying for power; the American sun god eats human flesh buns... A chill ran down my spine from my tailbone to the top of my head.
Is that a god?
Not even an animal
Shazam said with a complicated expression, "The gods have many missteps in their actions, but they have always been at the forefront of the battle. They have protected this world and ensured the continuation of human civilization. Their achievements cannot be erased because of some mistakes."
“Right is right, and wrong is wrong. The two cannot be confused. This is what you taught me, Father.”
"I will not forget their achievements." "Likewise, I will not forget that disgusting conspiracy."
Shazam fell silent, unable to respond to Tess Adam's words. After a moment's thought, he said in a low voice...
Who told you that?
Isis
"How can this be?"
Tes-Adam's lips twitched, and he said sullenly.
"Zeus's son Hypnos coveted Isis's beauty and repeatedly acted improperly towards her. Isis had no choice but to turn to you, her father, for help. And what was the result? You persuaded her to tolerate all of this through the power of Olympus..."
“Isis studied the thoughts of the gods and shared these thoughts with me.”
Tes-Adam grabbed Shazam's clothes and pulled him to his side.
"You are a complete failure, unworthy of being a man. No man would ask his daughter to endure being bullied, but you are. Perhaps this is why God chose you. You are weak, insignificant, and cowardly, only capable of compromise and submission."
puff
Saliva spurted from the old man's mouth as he painfully closed his eyes: in that moment, he finally understood why his daughter had betrayed him, and why he had been determined to overthrow divine authority since the time of Tes-Adam. It turned out that everything had a cause and effect.
Tes-Adam snorted and tossed him out of the room like trash.
"All you need to say is: Give me the Stone of Eternity or I will destroy it."
Shazam remained silent, looking dejected, his already aged face appearing even more withered.
"This is the last warning, give it to me."
I won't give it to you.
"Then I'll destroy it."
"Destroy it, and your power will vanish."
Shazam stood up, leaning against the wall, and said slowly and deliberately, "The Stone of Eternity is a fortress built by the gods and the source of the power of the six gods. Once it disappears, you will also disappear."
TesAdam: "..."
"Then I'll go find your heir and seize his power from his corpse. Father, do you think he'd be a good fit for me?"
Shazam was immediately speechless: Tes-Adam has the title of demigod. He is the most powerful warrior in ancient Egypt. After obtaining the power of the six gods, his combat power soared to the extreme. Apart from the kings of the gods of each pantheon, ordinary gods are no match for him. Although Billy has the power of the six gods, he is still a child and does not even know how to fight.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke.
"If you really want the Eternal Stone, why not take the normal path?"
Tes-Adam raised an eyebrow: "You want to trap me in the void."
Shazam shook his head.
"In the creation of the Eternal Stones, the gods left a covenant: anyone who passes the trials of the Colosseum and the Wasteland has the right to become the ruler of the Eternal Stones. If you wish to become a ruler, prove yourself as I did back then."
Do you think I'd believe you?
Shyvana suddenly interrupted.
"Your Majesty, there are people in the arena."
Tess-Adam stared blankly, but suddenly he realized something, and a raging fire flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward, grabbed Shazam's clothes, and angrily asked...
"You're the one who let those people in."
"good"
Shazam was incredibly grateful that he had listened to Xu Fu's request; otherwise, the outcome would have been much worse.
"The gods are gone, but the heroes who protected the world remain." "They proved themselves worthy to inherit the Eternal Stone." "Reboot the Council of Eternity."
"Damn it!"
Tes-Adam leaped to his feet, abandoning Shazam, and dashed out of the room; he would never allow the Stone of Eternity to fall into the wrong hands.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"You can't rush things," Shyvana cried. "This could be a trap."
trap?
Tes-Adam stopped and stared at him coldly.
Sivana explained, “Superman, Martian Manhunter, and Wonder Woman all possess immense power. No matter how strong Your Majesty is, you will inevitably be at a disadvantage in a three-on-one situation. Why not do the opposite?”
"what's on your mind"
Shyvana searched for Shazam throughout the hall. "Let's go somewhere else," she said.
They met in the garden, and that's when Sivana quietly told him...
"The battle in the arena began before the seal was broken, which means that these three could not have known of your existence. This is an opportunity for you to join as friends, pass the test, and then make your move when the time is right."
