Thunder Shazam was a little careless. He had been talking to several brothers and sisters and did not notice that someone opened the rune door leading to the Eternal Castle. However, after hearing the footsteps, his reaction speed was very fast.
"Whoosh" I came to the door and saw Harley walking slowly.
He didn't expect to see her in the Eternal Castle. He was stunned for a while and then said in surprise: "Sister Harley, why are you here?"
"I'm here to see old Shazam, Shazam the Wizard, is he here?"
Harley had already walked to the door, but she didn't feel the aura of old Shazam's magical power, and she immediately had a bad guess in her heart.
Thunder Shazan said: "You don't know? Two years ago, after He handed over the Eternal Castle to me, he disappeared without a trace.
He said that the Ninth Magical Era was over, that his mission and lifespan had also come to an end, and that he could no longer undertake the task of guarding the Rock of Eternity.
And it’s time for the six gods of our magical family to return to their positions and shoulder their own missions.
From that day on, I have been in charge of the Eternal Castle and the seven magical kingdoms that connect the Eternal Castle."
"Life is coming to an end." The corners of Harley's mouth twitched slightly. It was weird that the old wizard had the nerve to say such lies, and that Shazam of Thunder was still willing to believe it!
"What's going on with you? What are you arguing about?"
At this moment, five other members of the Magic Family also came out, a lame man with a cane, an obese white man, a thin monkey-faced black girl with buck teeth, an Asian wearing glasses, and finally a slim and beautiful white girl.
.
Except for Billy, only one of the other five people remains in the "Shazam" state, that is, the beautiful white girl "Magic Mary".
Harley has seen Magic Mary many times on TV and the Internet, but she didn't expect that she looks even more outstanding in real life.
She simply combines the best qualities of Supergirl and Wonder Woman, both sweet and charming.
Even Harley couldn't help but take a few glances at the two long white legs under the dark blue miniskirt.
The flaws in appearance and body of the other four siblings seemed to be made up for by Mary alone, making her far more dazzling than ordinary people.
"There is something wrong with the power that the old wizard left us. In fact, we planned to go to Quinn Manor to find out about the situation from you a month ago."
Thunder Shazam is the main player, and the other five people supplement it.
The six people told Harley in detail what happened to the magical family.
They talked a lot, but they summed it up in one sentence: There was indeed a big problem with Shazam's contract, and even the magical family's magical power couldn't function normally.
They are even worse than Harley's favored ones.
Not to mention Diana, Dinah can still use "Hallelujah", but the effect is a bit worse. Even after traveling through Kedura, she can still activate "Hallelujah" from time to time.
As the favored one of old Shazam, among the six members of the Magic Family, only Billy Bassent is the only one who can transform into Shazam.
Magical Mary is still in the state of transformation, but she doesn't dare to cancel it.
She had a hunch that as long as she shouted "Shazam", the power of Shazam in her body would disappear. Next time she shouted "Shazam" a hundred times, it would be difficult to transform into "Magic Mary" again.
"Why is this happening? Sister Harley, do you know?" Thunder Shazam asked.
"I came to the Eternal Castle to find the old wizard Shazam this time to inquire about this matter. My God's Favorite also experienced a failure of 'Shazam's Law'," said Harley.
"You mean Wonder Woman and Dark Phoenix? I think they can still use 'Hallelujah'.
If there is a problem with Shazam's Law, all the God's Favorites will be affected, but the White Dove, War Eagle, and even the Witch and Leopard Girl can use the power from the gods normally." Fat Pedro said.
Harley looked Thunder Shazam up and down and asked: "Billy, how do you feel? Are you affected?"
"It has some impact, but not too much."
Harley nodded and said, "That's right. Although Mary and Freddy also signed the 'Shazam Contract', your names are after Billy, and he is the real favored one.
Your power comes from him, so you can only be regarded as 'followers'."
In the beginning, for other members of the Magic Family to transform into Shazam, Billy had to personally transfer the power. Later, when the "Magic Family" got the approval of the old Shazam, Billy was no longer required to transfer the magical power. All he had to do was shout
"Shazam" can transform.
But essentially, their power still comes from Billy.
When Billy's own powers were exhausted, he naturally had no energy left to provide for the rest of the Magic Family.
Billy looked back at his brothers and sisters and said, "If Mary releases her 'magical state', the divine power in her body can be used by others."
The others didn't say anything, just looked at Magic Mary.
Magic Mary was very excited and said: "Why did you ask me to release the 'Magic Mary' state? You also said that there was a problem with the contract. Freddy lost his magical power. It had nothing to do with me. It was not me who possessed that part of his magical power.
.”
"I never said that Freddy's loss of supernatural powers had something to do with you, but Freddy is our brother and we have the responsibility to take care of him. He has problems with his legs and cannot walk normally. He needs supernatural powers more than us.
If I could allocate some of my strength to him, I wouldn't look for you." Billy frowned.
Magical Mary wanted to explode, but she turned her head and glanced at Harley, then closed her mouth and turned her head away, ignoring the complicated looks from Billy and others.
"Since old Shazam isn't here, I'll take my leave first. If you encounter any other trouble, you can call me." Harley felt the atmosphere was awkward and took the initiative to leave the Eternal Castle.
Back in Gotham, Harley took out her cell phone and dialed Doctor Destiny Kent's number, "Where is old Shazam?"
"I don't know, is He missing?"
"There's something wrong with Shazam's contract." Harley briefly explained the situation she and the Shazam family had encountered.
Dr. Fate pondered for a while and said, "I'm probably going to ask Naboo. I have a guess, but I'm not sure."
"Then just wait, I'll go to the Tower of Destiny to find you."
Harley was about to hang up the phone and open the portal to the Tower of Aion.
"Wait!" Dr. Destiny stopped her and said, "I'm not in the Tower of Eternity right now. If you're really in a hurry, you can find us at the 'Galaxy Giant Hotel' in the capital of Khandak."
"Kandak?" Harley was confused but didn't ask any further questions. She first found the location of the Galaxy Giant Hotel on Google Maps, then directly turned on the blue lantern teleportation. The next moment, she was over Siruta City.
Kandak is an Asian country close to Egypt. It has a small land area, only about 40,000 square kilometers. Siruta City is its capital and the only modern city in the country.
It was midnight in Gotham when Harley started the teleportation, but when she arrived in Kandak, it was when the sun was shining on the earth.
Early in the morning, the streets in Siruta city were crowded with people shouting slogans.
Some of them shouted "Long live the heroes of Kandak", and some held signs such as "American devils get out of Kandak" and "The hypocritical Justice League is not welcome in Kandak".
Harley even saw her own protest banner: Harley Quinn is not our savior, she is an ore thief!
She appeared directly in the air without attracting anyone's attention, because she covered her whole body with the wind of nothingness in the "White Bone Stick". Not only did others not see her, they even subconsciously forgot about her.
Before she could figure out the situation, she saw Dr. Fate standing on the rooftop of the hotel.
"Wow, how did you do that? I didn't sense your existence at all. It's incredible."
Kent was shocked when he saw Harley jumping out of thin air.
"What's going on with those people outside?" Harley asked.
Dr. Destiny pointed to the Stars and Stripes not far away and said: "The American Embassy is right next door. People come to demonstrate every day. Just get used to it."
"How can I get used to it? They slandered me as an ore thief." Harley said with some excitement.
"They were right," Dr. Destiny muttered in a low voice, "You did steal a lot of eternal gold from the Kandak people, which is what the American military calls 'metal promethium'."
Harley shouted: "Today is my first time coming to Kandak, and I don't even know where the Kandak people's metal mines are!"
Dr. Destiny said disapprovingly: "You are the big boss, so you definitely don't have to go to the mines to steal minerals yourself.
You don’t have to quibble, now everyone in the universe knows it.
Remember the ‘Reborn List’ from a few months ago?
The reborn Arab named ‘Hussein’ has made your actions public.
‘General Stealing Mines’ Hamilton was given the status of a patriot by you, and you recognized his patriotic behavior of stealing mines for the United States.”
Harley said: "It's not that I recognized him, it was the US government that included him in the list of patriots, although the list has not been announced yet."
Dr. Destiny waved his hand, "It's the same, as long as you recognize this behavior as patriotic, then you must also recognize this behavior.
Moreover, Speaker Roxy, who was later reborn in the Middle East, was found by a dark wizard, and all the 'Secrets of the United States' in her mind were exposed, including the detailed process of your illegal possession of a large amount of eternal divine gold."
"This is fake news, a shameless smear campaign against me by demons from hell manipulating black magicians!
Every promethium atom in my hand has been paid for." Harley said in a serious tone.
"You can repeat it a thousand times, ten thousand times, saying it is fake news, but you can't stop the people of Kandak from believing it." Dr. Destiny said.
"Hey, Harley, you're here too? It's just Black Adam, it's not worth your while, is it?"
Green Lantern Alan climbed up from the stairs carrying a dinner plate and was very surprised to see Harley present.
"Who is Black Adam? I'm just here to find Kent." Harley said.
Dr. Destiny said: "It just so happens that you want to ask about Shazam Wizard, and the last one blessed by God in Shazam Wizard is Tes Adam."
Then he explained: "St Adam was a Kandak slave thousands of years ago. His nephew Hamman was outstanding in virtue and heroic. He was selected by the Eternal Parliament (Old Shazam's Wizards' Parliament) as the contemporary Thunder
Shazam.
Like Billy Bassant today, Harman was a child when he was drafted.
Haman gave half of his power to his uncle.
Just like today's Magic Family, Billy divided his powers among his five brothers and sisters.
Danster Adam was so ambitious that he murdered his nephew Haman and took all the power of the Seven Gods for himself.
Not only that, he was worried that the wizard Shazam would come to trouble him, so he took the initiative and teamed up with the Seven Original Sin Demons to bloodbath the Eternal Parliament.
Of course, he ultimately failed and was sealed away by the Wizard of Shazam, where he remained until recently."
At this point, Kent looked at Harley with a strange look, "Black Adam breaking the seal and returning to the world has a lot to do with you.
The "list of reborn" and the mining theft incident were exposed, and the people of Kandak were furious and desperate.
——Even the ‘Galaxy Admiral’ is not trustworthy, who can the Khandak people rely on?
They let out such desperate cries.
An extreme anti-Military organization called the Sons of Adam began to rise rapidly in Kandak.
This organization comes from the ancient legend of Kandak, 'Adam, the almighty hero who saved Kandak'.
Of course, only foreigners regard it as a legend. The people of Kandak firmly believe in the history of 'Hero Adam'. After all, there are many ancient 'hero stone sculptures' in the city where they live, which come from thousands of years ago.
Just a week ago, the 'Son of Adam' successfully opened the seal left by the wizard Shazam through an evil sacrificial ritual. The return of King Black Adam is unstoppable.
This is why the Justice Society came to Khandak."
"Black Adam's comeback is probably due to old Shazam planning something secretly. What does it have to do with me?" Harley shook her head.
Doctor Destiny said seriously: "You are not an ordinary person, you are the 'Admiral of the Galaxy'!
Even the Kandak people who hate Americans very much have had different feelings for you.
In the end, your stealing of mines was exposed, and the Kandak people were so desperate that they could only rely on heroes in mythical stories.
The despair and hope of all the Kandak people is a huge force that awakens the sleeping Black Adam."
