Chapter 237 Shazam's Enlightenment

Soon after, following the guidance of Doctor Fate.

Diana saw the legendary place for the first time.

Rock of Eternity!

Looking at the dilapidated stone throne in front of him and the deep canyon caves around him.

Hawkman couldn't help but whisper.

“This is the earliest court in human history, and it is also a magic court. Countless gods have been judged by the Eternal Council here.

Unfortunately, with the passage of time and the changes in the magical world, this place eventually became deserted."

At this point, Hawkman couldn't help but ask Hawkgirl.

"Sandra, if I remember correctly, the person who made the final judgment here should be... Pandora, right?"

"That's right, Pandora!"

Just then, a dark shadow walked out from behind a ruined throne.

His entire body was covered tightly by a heavy cloak and hood. At first glance, he looked like a tramp, and a dying tramp at that.

He just responded to Hawkman's words while shaking his head regretfully.

"That was one of the few mistakes I made in my life.

And it was the last...wrong decision I made!"

After he finished speaking, Shazam came in front of everyone and nodded slightly to them.

Everyone also quickly saluted and greeted Shazam.

Even if you just look at his age, Shazam is a senior who is over 9,000 years old. Even though they are not young, they are just juniors in front of Shazam.

Looking at the people in front of him, Shazam shook his head slowly, then sighed and said.

"I know why you came to find me, but I am not interested in your purpose."

"But we haven't told you yet!"

Hawkman's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Shazam in disbelief.

Listening to Hawkman's words, Shazam nodded and then responded.

"You did not tell me, but I saw it all, including the death of Neb's beloved child.

However, just like the lesson Pandora taught me, after I thought I had understood everything, it turned out that I still had to wait for something to be learned! "

After he finished speaking, Shazam gently waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

He turned around, walked back to the Judgment Throne where he came from, and slowly sat on it.

Looking at Shazam sitting quietly on the throne like a dead skeleton, Hawkman couldn't help but take a step forward.

"But, Senior Shazam, the Revenant is clearly a bastard, and a disaster to the human world!

His existence is destined to have infinite impact on the world. Even Kent died in his hands. Can't even such a person be judged by you?"

“But I don’t judge Hital either, because they may be a disaster, but they are also human beings!”

Shazam responded to Hawkman indifferently.

Hearing this, Hawkman frowned and continued.

"Humans are different from each other. Many of their behaviors are no longer human..."

"Not yet, Carter!"

Suddenly, Shazam interrupted Hawkman and spoke to him softly.

“We’ve all been through history, Carter, Sandra, and… Diana, what a rare guest.

But in short, human conflicts should be resolved by humans themselves. From the beginning to the end, has the emergence of any new human king been without conspiracy and killing?

Carter, it took me six thousand years to realize this.

No one is perfect, and there is no absolutely good person in this world.

Time, environment, experience, and everything they face are affecting and changing them all the time.

What's worse, goals, hopes, camps, identities, including you, are all bound physically and mentally in this way.

You tell me, will the dead souls be a disaster to the human world?

But I only saw some people die and some people were reborn, and the dead souls in my eyes could not be called a disaster.

In my eyes, disasters are calamities destined to destroy humanity like the 72 demons, nightmares destined to corrode and engulf humanity like the seven deadly sins, and gods who are high above and think they can control all human development. But humans themselves should not be considered disasters by me, and Downton is still a human being. Even when you talk about his sins, his evil is not as bad as many ignorant mortals who simply have power!"

Having said this, the old wizard slowly raised his head, and his eyes seemed to see through the rock wall and see the stars in the dome.

As he stared, he sighed and continued.

“Back then, Pandora was the last case we tried…

Because she opened the box and brought disaster upon the world, we sentence her...to never be loved again.

But when I looked back, I suddenly realized something: Pandora...isn't she just a curious child?

Desire itself...is not a sin.

Power itself...is not evil.

Your opponents are full of power, a power that even God would be afraid of, and a power that almost leaves me helpless.

But I will not back down. If he kills and fools everyone like a devil, I will naturally appear in front of him without your invitation or urging.

But until now, he still exists only in a human way and pursues human joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.

Well, there is something wrong with what I said, he does not like anger and sorrow, but only joy.

But, I hope you can understand.

No matter what, he is still a human being, so the conflicts between him and you are more just... conflicts within humanity itself!

Kent, whom I have seen before, came to me once upon a time, and begged me to help him bring defeat to the German Empire.

But I know very well that both the winners and the losers are unjust, the only difference is ideology.

That’s about enough to say. I am old and frail, and I am still waiting for my destined successor to come to me.

Don't bother me anymore if he wants to destroy this planet one day, or wants to enslave and plunder all human souls.

I'll be there faster than you!"

Having said this, Shazam suddenly swung his withered right hand.

Suddenly, Diana and the other three went back to where they came from, and in the blink of an eye they were back in the Amazon kingdom.

It was not until he stepped onto the beach of the Amazon Kingdom that Hawkman stomped the ground hard in a trance.

“It was my first time meeting Shazam, and I didn’t expect him to be such a stubborn old man!

Damn it, he actually said that the ghosts of the dead are not a problem for humans.

Do we have to wait until the ghosts of the dead become stronger and stronger, until they become a real trouble for all of humanity before we can take action?

You know, even a good man like Kent died at the hands of the dead, and sooner or later there will be more heroes like Kent who will die because of him!
Shazam, f*ck, what the hell!

"That's enough, Carter!"

On the side, Diana suddenly interrupted Hawkman.

Facing Hawkman's unhappy look, Diana shook her head gently and continued.

"I understand what Shazam meant, because if it weren't for me, Kent and Zack, the three of us wouldn't have directly provoked him.

Then he may not be a problem in our eyes!
You see, until now, the dead have only been causing trouble in Gotham City.

He did have thousands and tens of thousands of lives on his hands, but the vast majority of them were Gotham's powerful and upper-class people.

It seems that there is indeed an ideological dispute in the actions of the revenants. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Senior Shazam thinking this way!
Even I am only here to look for his possible weaknesses in order to pay back for Kent's death!"

At this point, Diana glanced at Hawkman lightly.

“In short, we are no match for the ghosts, and I don’t want you to die, so stay in the Amazon and help me search for information.

If we can really find clues and real weaknesses of the ghosts, then we can take action.

But if we can never find it, then I suggest that we should not take the initiative to provoke his temper before he makes a bigger fuss!
Of course, Mrs. Inza, I would never have any reason to stop you.

And if one day you have to stand in front of the dead soul and want to take revenge on him for Kent's hatred.

Even if I know I can't win, I will still accompany you to death, because there is no right or wrong between us and the dead souls.

At least we have our own stance and hatred.

And this is what Shazam tells us!"
