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

"So, Mr.... Exorcist, what do you want from us?"

Constantine lay back very familiarly, leaning against the sofa, with the cigarette holder casually pinched between his fingers, and then leaning on the armrest of the sofa. Barry was frightened, afraid that he would set the sofa on fire with a spark.

"I saw what you did, so I wanted to come out and meet you." Constantine shook his cell phone.

Then he turned his gaze to Carl, seemingly examining him.

From a magical perspective invisible to ordinary people, Constantine saw the surging energy within Carl's body. It was the energy of the sun...

"I see... With such talent, you truly possess the qualities to become a god."

"What are you talking about?" Thomas didn't like Constantine very much. He had a familiar bastard vibe about him, like a brilliant liar.

Cyborg also felt that this man had the aura of a charlatan, but they saw with their own eyes that the other party came out of the wormhole, so they did not dare to completely deny him.

The others also looked at him with puzzled eyes, only the Flash Barry had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"This war is no longer just a matter of your world. Thanks to you, the entire wizarding world is now in chaos."

Constantine spoke slowly, showing no sense of urgency at all, and had a nonchalant look on his face.

However, Cyborg and the others were completely confused. What the hell was this magical world?

Only Thomas frowned slightly. He was not completely ignorant. He knew some of the truth about the war from Dane and was also actively investigating, but with little success.

Ultimately, it is because they know too little about the mysterious side. Originally, Shazam was supposed to make up for their shortcomings in this aspect, but facts have proved that their expectations of Shazam were too optimistic.

He let down his guard and sat on the sofa opposite Constantine, and a bossy aura hit him in the face.

"Constantine, what's your purpose here? You just said that the wizarding world is in chaos, what's going on?"

"As expected of Batman, even though he hates us, he is instinctively collecting intelligence." Constantine smiled, and then his expression began to become serious.

"I don't know when it started, but a rumor, whether true or false, spread throughout the magic world. It said that in this war, there was a chance for people to become gods. Everyone went crazy, and some old immortals even woke up from their long sleep."

Thomas's attention was attracted by the "immortals". Apart from the existing ones, are there some mysterious characters that ordinary people cannot understand?

He rubbed his brows and suddenly felt a headache. How many gods and ghosts that shouldn't exist were exposed in a war? Was this also the work of the Speed Force?

However, before he could figure out the relationship, Constantine suddenly turned his gaze towards him.

"Batman, you are one of the people predicted by the prophet to have the qualifications to become a god."

His words shocked everyone, but Constantine hadn't finished speaking. He continued, "Not only you, the Flash Barry Allen and the alien Karl Allen also have the qualifications to become gods."

Chapter 560: Changes in the Magical World

What Constantine said was so unbelievable that everyone was shocked.

Cyborg had a look of doubt on his face. If Constantine’s self-introduction at the beginning was understandable, what he said later was a bit outrageous.

Not to mention Barry and Carl, why does Batman, such a sinister guy, have the qualifications to become a god?

"I know you don't believe it." Constantine wasn't surprised by the expressions on everyone's faces. "But Lady Xanadu's predictions are rarely wrong, and this one is most likely not a prophecy, but an oracle."

Although this statement is still doubted in the magical community, Constantine firmly believes it.

He understood Lady Shangdu's abilities. In the past, her predictive abilities could only be obtained in fragments, and those were even encrypted.

Predictions are like stealing confidential data from the computer of "fate". You need to crack the password set on the computer before you can read the file.

The way of prophecy encryption is manifested differently in different prophets.

Some prophecies will form a riddle when the prophet blurts out, some are difficult to understand poems, or even a poem with unclear meaning. Just like putting words together, the content of the prophecy often includes many irrelevant interference items. This is the 12 "destinies" themselves refusing to be peeped by mortals.

Therefore, after obtaining the prophecy, it is usually necessary to further decrypt the text information in order to obtain the real information.

However, depending on the method and angle of interpretation, the interpretation of the prophecy may very likely go against the facts or even be completely unrecognizable.

Therefore, for a prophet, whether he can reduce interference as much as possible when speaking out the information he obtains is an important criterion for judging his ability.

Lady Shangdu is one of the more powerful prophets, and her ability is so strong that she is given the title of "prophet".

In Lady Xanadu’s predictions, the information obtained is often clearer and contains fewer interference factors.

Especially when it comes to events that cover a wide range of areas, her ability can often produce relatively accurate predictions.

Her ability to predict the future is through clairvoyance, where she sees fragments of the future in her dreams. Since she sees pictures, there is not much interference such as the common "filling up the word count" problem.

But because it was seen in a dream, all the images would be distorted by the power of the dream itself, and there would be a certain degree of distortion. This was an inherent interference factor in Madame Xanadu's predictive ability. However, in a clairvoyant state, Madame Xanadu could distinguish between dreams and prophetic images.

But no matter what, Lady Shangdu's prophecy still abides by the encryption principle, and "fate" will not give her direct hints. It is still a conditional vision of the future.

Therefore, her interpretation is often more accurate than that of other prophets, but it is not necessarily comprehensive, and the possibility of being "taken out of context" still exists. You need to grasp the difference yourself.

However, in this prophecy, Lady Shangdu saw a predictive picture from the future vision of her dream, which was not distorted at all by the dream and showed its true appearance.

Constantine asked her, and this had never happened before.

Constantine, who was full of conspiracy theories, immediately suspected that it was very likely that those "gods" were behind this.

Long before the war broke out, the wizarding world had already deduced the causes behind it through fragments of prophecy. They knew very well that the old gods were behind this world war.

However, the inaction of the Holy See made these spellcasters hidden in the world think that this was an agreement made by the big guys above, so no one dared to show up.

The more people know, the more careful they tend to be in doing things.

Until this time, Madame Xanadu's prophecy dropped a depth bomb in the stagnant magical world.

Since she made the prophecy, other prophets have made similar predictions one after another, and the content is almost exactly the same as the prophecy made by Lady Shangdu.

And without exception, there were so few interference factors in the prophecies that it was as if they were told directly to everyone.

Countless prophecies can be summed up in one sentence:

The road to godhood is now open. All mortals with the talent for godhood have the opportunity to become gods of the new era on the battlefield. Kill and plunder! The era of the old gods will eventually pass, and the era of the new gods is about to begin.

The road to godhood was opened, igniting the fire in the hearts of countless ambitious people.

It’s not that no one doubted the authenticity of the prophecy, but with the endorsement of Madame Shangdu’s ability and countless prophets making similar predictions at the same time, the entire magical world quickly accepted all of this and began to prepare for the coming new era.

The first thing is to find people who have the qualifications to become gods. They call these mortals who are likely to become gods in the future "chosen ones", meaning the lucky ones chosen by destiny.

Although mortals can also ignite the divine fire through faith, not every mortal is qualified to become a god.

Every god possesses at least one divine nature that matches the essence of his soul.

Only mortals who match the divine nature can merge with the divine nature and become new gods.

The reason why Dane can become the god of death in human form is because his soul has characteristics related to "death". He is a time traveler who has been resurrected from the dead, so it is reasonable for his soul to have the characteristics of "death".

Including the fact that he was able to plunder the divinity of the God of War later, it was because he was destined to be accompanied by battles and wars, so that he could succeed.

The same applies to other people. Only those who possess similar strong tendencies and characteristics in their soul traits have the possibility of obtaining the corresponding godhead.

The magic world's detection of people with the qualifications to become gods is based on this principle.

Only those who possess the strongest soul qualities are most likely to have the qualifications to become gods.

Kal-El's soul is filled with solar energy, and his personality is just like the sun, neither good nor evil, and he is indifferent to everything in the world.

Batman, his 203 soul characteristics are very complex, which are very consistent with the godhood such as pain, fear, death, and despair. At the very least, he is an evil god.

The Flash is even more magical. His soul characteristics are closely related to time, and his status is ridiculously high, just like the creator god. At that time, the spellcaster in the magic world who was using secret methods to find the chosen one accidentally looked directly at his soul characteristics and was almost blinded by the light.

You know, even Kal-El's sunny soul can be taken lightly by the other party.

After listening to Constantine's explanation, everyone was shocked. The whole room was silent for a moment, and everyone was digesting the information.

"Become a god", what a tempting word it is. Everyone looked at the three "chosen ones" with a different look in their eyes.

Batman was not used to those gazes. He was keenly aware that some of them were malicious, but he ignored them and stared at Constantine.

"So, you found us, what's next? You're not just coming here to tell us about this, are you?"

Constantine smiled at him, revealing his white teeth. "That's what I thought. At least you should know why you will be targeted by the wizarding world next."

Having said that, Karl suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction, saying, "Here it comes."

"What's coming?"

There was a loud bang, and everyone's sight was instantly engulfed in flames.

Chapter 561 Malice from the Magical World

In the moment before the explosion, Barry Allen immediately entered the Speed Force. He did this subconsciously as a result of the warning from his sixth sense.

The first thing Barry wanted to do when he entered the Speed Force was to rush into Nora's room and rescue her.

"You don't have to be so anxious at all. Can you at least have a little trust in me?"

Barry looked back in surprise and found that Constantine was standing behind him. How could he keep up with his speed?

"Of course I can't keep up."

"Are you reading my mind?"

"How is that possible? This kind of high-end magic is very troublesome to use. I just saw what you were thinking." Constantine said frankly.

Although he is unkempt and looks unreliable, he actually has outstanding observation skills, not inferior to Batman.

Barry suddenly felt uneasy, as if he had been seen through. At this moment, he discovered that on the sofa behind Constantine, there was a Constantine who looked exactly like him.

Because of the inconsistent speed, Constantine appeared to be motionless, just like the others.

"Did you find out? That's my body. I can only enter this space when I'm in spiritual state." Constantine smacked his lips, feeling that all he needed was a cigarette.

Hearing this, Barry reached out to grab Constantine out of curiosity, but his hand passed through the other's body and he didn't catch anything.

He did this several times as if he couldn't believe it, and he did it every time until he finally believed the fact that the other person was a "ghost".

"It's fun, right? When I first learned this magic, I played with it for a long time just like you."

Barry finally reacted when he heard Constantine's half-smile. He looked around and found that countless sparks seemed to be slowly rising from under the floor of his house.

Especially on Nora's favorite carpet, countless flames appeared out of thin air, and charred marks instantly appeared on its surface.

Barry's eyelids twitched. It looked like he was beyond saving.

He asked anxiously, "What on earth is going on?"

"Remember what I just said? Your identities have been discovered by some people in the wizarding world. For some purpose, they will come to capture you, or... kill you.

. "

"Then we should get out of here right now!"

"That's why I came to you."

After being with Batman for a long time, Barry inevitably developed some suspicious habits. He looked at Constantine with some suspicion. The other party had just arrived and the attack followed. It was hard not to suspect that this was a play directed and acted by the other party himself.

Constantine seemed to read his thoughts and explained, "As I just said, many people in the magical world have predicted the future, and your existence was naturally known to them through magic. I was able to find you before them because the person who predicted it to me was a prophet, whose abilities far surpassed those of other prophets."

There were some things he hadn't said completely. Ever since Lady Shangdu predicted that "the road to godhood is open," the mysterious elements of the world began to gradually become active.

Since the beginning of the new century, although the total amount of magic power in the world has increased instead of decreased, the difficulty of casting spells has become more difficult than in ancient times.

The reason is very simple. After the rise of science and technology, the scientific worldview gradually overwhelmed the magical worldview. Magic is a movement that tends to be idealistic, and "miracles" are phenomena that require inner recognition to occur, which is not so easy for ordinary people to break through.

Just like Billy in "Shazam!", at the beginning he could only jump far but not fly, because he said that he believed he could fly, but his subconscious mind did not agree with this idea, so he could not fly.

When he was forced to fall from a high altitude and was at the point where he would die if he couldn't fly, driven by the desire to survive, he instinctively hoped that he could fly, and then he flew.

This kind of mental self-confinement is similar to the obstruction of knowledge and perception. It is easy to talk about, but difficult to see through. It requires extremely high level of understanding.

Therefore, throughout history, the total number of people with spellcasting talent has always been far less than that of ordinary people without talent. With such a high threshold, magic naturally cannot defeat technology that everyone can understand and use. After all, the changes in productivity brought about by the latter are obvious.

Moreover, the scientific worldview has an advantage that magic cannot match. All its achievements can be replicated. Unlike magic, even the same magic will often produce different results when used by different people, and there will be many uncertainties in inheritance and research.

In today's modern society where industrial transformation has basically been completed all over the world, most natural phenomena have been explained by humans. Even if there are still mysteries, people believe that it is just that the current level of human knowledge is not enough and they cannot be explained for the time being, but sooner or later they will be incorporated into the current scientific system.

In this environment, the mysterious nature is seriously lacking, and many magicians of the new generation have even begun to question the nature of magic, believing that magic may also be a part of the scientific system, but the connection between the two has not yet been fully studied.

In addition, the source of magic power has become "dirty" due to environmental pollution. Due to the accumulation of various reasons, it is much more difficult for spellcasters to cast spells than in the past. Although it cannot be regarded as the Dharma Ending Age, it is at least a period of tribulation.

This is also the reason why the magic world has always been hidden from the world. During the period of disaster, the activities of spellcasters decreased, so they were naturally difficult to be discovered.

However, since the prophecy appeared, the mysterious characteristics suddenly opened like a floodgate, and all spellcasters could clearly feel the reduction in the difficulty of casting spells.

If the predictions of prophets and seers alone were not enough evidence to prove that the path to godhood had begun, the sudden activation of the mysterious elements would be ironclad proof.

A self-made exorcist like Constantine could only rely on exorcism props and tricks to perform "magic". Real black magic would cost one's life, so he didn't dare to use it lightly.

But in recent days, he clearly felt that the magic power in his body began to become active. Although the change in quantity was not big, the improvement in quality was incomparable to the past.
