American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

He wants to become better than Batman, so he can only go to the place where Batman was once trained, the legendary League of Assassins.

So he refused Dane's help and decided to treat this journey as a practice. He hoped to find the place himself.

"You see, he acts like he doesn't care about Batman, but he actually respects him so much that he inevitably chooses the same path as him."

Dane said to Clark with a smile and he nodded.

They had talked about Batman's experiences before, and Clark already knew that Batman was Bruce Wayne.

At that time, Clark secretly went to Gotham and saw it with his own eyes using his X-ray vision.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Gotham's famous playboy was the Dark Knight who roamed the streets every night to do justice.

The shock is no less than when we discover a superhero in the real world, but when the truth is revealed, it turns out to be Wang Sicong.

"Are our current preparations sufficient?"

"The preliminary preparations are almost complete."

Dane nodded in response to Clark's question.

"I remember you said some time ago that you designed a gathering place for the Justice League?"

"Yes, it's a building built by Umbrella, located in the suburbs of the west coast, close to the sea. The scenery is very nice."

Clark was a little surprised: "Oh? It was completed so quickly? I remember it was only a few months ago?"

Dane sighed and patted Clarke.

"Clark, technology is the primary productive force. When will you understand this?"

"Given the knowledge in the Kryptonian archives, such a construction speed is normal. I'm afraid it's too shocking, so I'm being more restrained."

Now Umbrella's production workshops have begun to be equipped with intelligent robots, and Cortana is responsible for the scheduling.

In order to help her better control these robots and to provide her with a better working environment on Earth, Dane specially redesigned a "brain" for her.

It was a huge pillar of light, standing in the building on the West Coast where Clark's Kryptonian spaceship and his childhood life pod were also parked.

In order to better protect these properties, Dane also set up a magic circle around the building.

It is enchanted with magic to repel idlers, as well as protection and alarm spells, to ensure that when someone attacks, it can protect itself immediately and send an alarm to him.

Over the past year, Dane has also learned a lot of practical spells through the "Wisdom of Solomon". He always feels that the power of Shazam given by Solomon is the real plug-in, and it is really useful.

He once met Solomon's "spirit" while meditating and they had a conversation.

It’s a pity that it was a virtual spirit like artificial intelligence, and could only answer questions according to a set program.

But it was enough to guide him. Now he kind of understood why the wizard disappeared so confidently. It turned out that Shazam's power actually came with its own instruction manual!

"So now we can finally start inviting new members, right? Honestly, I've been getting pretty rusty lately."

In the past year, Clark has been very idle, apart from helping Martha at home and observing the reserve teammates that Dane mentioned.

Most importantly, now that he has become a multi-millionaire, he no longer needs to go out to work, and managing Jonathan's farm has become his biggest hobby.

It felt as if Jonathan was still with him.

But he took Dane's advice and went out into space to bask in the sun from time to time, and his abilities steadily improved.

"Don't worry, this time we're inviting a hero who's more concerned about the overall situation."

"Who?"

"Wonder Woman."

"Didn't you say she was in Bali?"

"Your information is outdated. I just received new news. She has returned due to work adjustments."

"Where?"

"She works at a museum in Washington now."

"Then let's go there now?"

"Don't be impatient. You should at least send a note first to let them know. Otherwise, it would be rude."

"What letter?"

Dane swiped his hand in the air, and a screen unfolded. He reached out and clicked on a file, and a black and white photo appeared.

Above is a group of soldiers, and there is a woman standing in the C position. Her clothes are different from ordinary people, she is wearing armor.

"This is…"

“This is a photo from World War I.”

Dane explained.

If even Luthor could get this photo, it would be no problem for Dane.

Diana must have the original photo, but it is almost an antique and no matter how carefully it is maintained, it is difficult to preserve it intact.

So Diana must have wanted to scan a digital copy of the photo and save it on the computer before it was completely damaged. That computer was connected to the Internet and was discovered by Cortana.

"Dane, this is an invasion of privacy..."

Dane ignored him, composed a message, and sent it along with the photo.

Chapter 013 Clark: Why do we need to spar again?

Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.

Diana is carefully repairing a marble statue that is thousands of years old and has a strong Greek artistic style.

It's her type.

Just as she was concentrating on her work, the sound of an email message came from her computer.

Diana continued working for another hour before she put down her tools and went to the computer to read.

But she quickly frowned.

There was only a photo attached to the mailbox, which was the one she took with her comrades.

Diana had no idea how it got out.

Next is the sentence below the photo:

"Your Highness Princess Diana, we have no ill intentions and simply hope to meet and talk with you."

"We will come to meet you at this time tomorrow. Please take the time to see us."

"From your future best friends - Shazam and Clark Kent."

Diana relaxed her brows and suddenly smiled softly.

"A future good friend..."

She turned her gaze back to the photo, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

The next day, Diana arrived at her studio early and told her assistant not to disturb her.

Then she sat quietly in her studio, reading the latest archaeology journals to pass the time.

She wasn't kept waiting for long, as soon a breeze blew through the studio and Diana detected the presence of magic.

At this moment, there was a knock on the studio door.

"Please come in."

Diana knew that the person outside the door could not be a colleague.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, the view opposite was completely new to me.

There was the Rock of Eternity, and two tall and handsome men stood outside the door.

It was Dane and Clark, dressed appropriately, neither too formal nor too casual.

Diana recognized Dane at a glance, and her expression was a little subtle.

As the president of Pioneer Technology, Dane has always been very low-key, but with Kuaishou so popular today, it is impossible for him to completely hide himself.

With some media coverage and his name high up on the wealth list, it's easy for interested people to remember him.

Diana also has her own account on Kuaishou. Although she is almost a thousand years old, Her Royal Highness the Princess still considers herself a young person and is very knowledgeable about trends.

"Excuse me, Amazon Princess Diana Prince, or should I say, Wonder Woman?"

As usual, Dane opened the show, and Clark stood aside and just smiled.

Diana stood up and shook Dane's hand.

"I didn't expect that the famous Avant-Garde CEO, Dane Davis, is actually a wizard... Huh? That's impossible!"

The moment they held hands, Diana actually felt a vast divine power from him.

There was even the breath of her deceased father, Zeus!

Diana's relaxed expression disappeared and instantly became solemn.

Dane could clearly feel that the Amazon warrior had officially entered a combat state, and if she didn't say the next sentence carefully, she was afraid that the fight would start immediately.

He first praised the other party's fighting skills, and then explained calmly:

"How about you please put aside your hostility for now and listen to my explanation?"

It has to be said that having a good appearance does have its advantages. When Diana saw Dane's handsome face, it felt hard to associate him with an evil person. She hesitated for a moment and then relaxed.

"Thank you."

Dane then explained to her the origin of Shazam's power, and this was the first time Clark learned about him.

He stared at Dane with wide eyes: "Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"You didn't ask me either." Dane didn't care.

At first, because they were not familiar with each other, Dane habitually held back out of caution.

Later, because they were too familiar with each other, he wanted to find an opportunity to tell Clark but couldn't find one. It was impossible for him to have nothing better to do and just find Clark to talk and tell him his secret, right?

This isn't a confession, how disgusting!

So he forgot about it as time went by.

Clark said nothing and sat there sulking. He was not the first one to know about such a big thing!

Dane ignored him and continued to say to Diana:

"'The Power of Shazam' is a magical contract signed with six gods. I only need to recite the spell to gain the power of all six gods at the same time."

"As the price, or rather, responsibility, of gaining this power, I must become the defender of magic and the protector of the human world."

He did not hide this information because Diana had a truth string. Rather than accidentally being tricked into revealing the truth in future actions and causing estrangement between the other party, it was better to make things clear at the beginning.

Diana did not believe Dane's words. After nearly a hundred years in the human world, Diana was no longer the simple girl who had just left the island.

As Dane expected, she opened her hands and took out a bundle of golden mantra ropes.

"This must be the 'True Word Rope'."

Dane looked at the rope and smiled.

Diana's eyes flashed: "You know a lot."

Dane said modestly, "I only know what I need to know."

"Then you must also know that the power of the Truth Rope is so great that even gods cannot resist it."

Of course he knew that in the animated film "Flashpoint Paradox", Wonder Woman even used the Truth Rope to make Shazam shout "SHAZAM" to remove the transformation, and finally slaughtered the Shazam family.

That's why he insured the word "Shazam" in the first place. Are Black Adam and Billy Batson stupid?

Don’t you want to find a way to make up for such a big weakness?

Dane took the initiative to wrap the truth rope around his hand several times to show his sincerity.

Diana received his sincerity and let down her guard for the most part, but she still asked a few questions cautiously.

The focus is on the future catastrophe on Earth and the Justice League. Dane has already foreseen some of the future situations to her, but she has to confirm it again.

"What you just said, that there will be a series of disasters in the future, is that true?"

"It's real, and it's probably far more serious than you think."
