American Comics: Multiverse of Madness.

Chapter 279 The Seven Deadly Sins

"Why are you looking for the Seven Deadly Sins?"

Billy looked at Zhang Yi in surprise, wondering why the other party suddenly had the idea of ​​his old enemy.

The Seven Deadly Sins are also a type of ancient demon in the DC multiverse. They were born at the beginning of life and were born from the seven original sins of life. Although they are not as good as Lucifer, they are not ordinary. Demons can be compared to existence.

Since they are unable to descend into reality, they seek the most corrupt and filthy souls in the multiverse to inhabit, inject their power into mortal bodies and corrupt them, while spreading their sins. , polluting the world.

In ancient times, the great wizard Shazam discovered the power of these demons and used magic and the power of the gods to seal them on the earth. For this reason, the Seven Deadly Sins had a rift with the wizard Shazam and his successors. .

From the time when the wizard Shazam resigned and allowed Billy to inherit Shazam's power until now, the Seven Deadly Sins have always been the old enemies of the Shazam family (the Marvel family). However, this long-term war has changed slightly after Darkseid's invasion.

Although the Demonoids destroyed the Rock of Eternity and released the Seven Deadly Sins, they were also trapped on the earth. Without enough soul replenishment, the Seven Deadly Sins could not even condense their bodies. There is no way other than changing the host.

In addition, they were sworn enemies of the heroes before, and shelters around the world were unwilling to accept these guys. This also led to them being able to only corrupt corpses in the wilderness, avoiding demonoids while trying to devour the bodies of victims. soul.

But this time, Zhang Yi set his target on them.

It's not like Zhang Yi has never seen pure demonic power. If it's the Seven Deadly Sins in their heyday, forget it. How much power can they exert on this extremely barren earth now?

Pride, jealousy, rage, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust.

Each of them is the purest evil, which is a rare power. Even in hell, it is not easy to absorb such pure demonic power, so Zhang Yi naturally cannot let go of this opportunity. .

But absorbing demons is not what a 'just' person should do, so in order to prevent Little Billy from thinking of himself as a treacherous and evil person, Zhang Yi could only speak.

"I have a way to dispel their demonic power and turn it into magical energy that can be used normally. You should know how powerful our opponents are now, so for this, I need to do whatever it takes."

".That's it." Billy was just surprised for a moment, and then calmed down. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you want to control the Seven Deadly Sins. It won't be worse anyway."

Seeing this, Zhang Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised at Billy's open-mindedness. You know, Shazam's main purpose is to seal the seven deadly sins and prevent these guys from coming out to harm the world, but now he actually reacts so calmly.

Seemingly sensing Zhang Yi's thoughts, Billy shrugged his shoulders and explained softly.

"I've encountered a lot of things in the past two years. I've seen countless heroes and criminals put aside their hatred. I've also seen those beings deemed 'evil' fighting on the front line. So, don't take me for granted. Mature little kids.”

Listening to Billy's words, Zhang Yi nodded silently. For a moment, he thought of Gotham City. At the most helpless time, it was the lunatics and criminals who sacrificed their lives to protect Gotham City.

In the face of this level of war, the boundaries between justice and evil are really difficult to define.

After a pause, Billy spoke slowly. "But I'm not sure where the Seven Deadly Sins are now. Finding people is not my expertise. You're not a wizard. You can try divination or recite their prayers. Maybe you can make them come to you. .”

"You mean, let me summon them?" Zhang Yi rubbed his chin, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

"Strictly speaking, it's psychic, but I haven't really summoned a demon, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help." Billy spread his hands.

Shaking his head, Zhang Ye spoke. "It doesn't matter, you have helped me a lot. I will stay in Gotham for a while, and we will discuss the next plan when you arrive." "Hmm" Suddenly thinking of something, Billy asked again. "How should I contact you when I arrive?"

"I'll know when you get here."

Zhang Yi smiled and patted Billy hard on the shoulder.

"Don't forget, pay attention to safety."

Billy slowly opened his eyes.

The familiar dimness appeared in his field of vision, and his five senses slowly recovered. The stench that he had become accustomed to, and the sound of dripping water from the sewer reached his ears.

He tilted his head slightly, and there still seemed to be a feeling of palm patting on his shoulder. Billy knew that it was an indescribable sense of trust.

His eyes gradually became sharper, and Billy slowly climbed up while holding on to the wall. Although when he transformed into Shazam, he could use his divine power to mend his broken leg, but without transforming, he could only use crutches. walk.

He raised his hand and touched his face, feeling the ferocious touch. Billy only felt a dull pain in his scar.

".Hope?"

Before, he had been unable to find his target and was confused every day fighting demons. But it was different now. Looking back on Zhang Yi's face, Billy found the reason to fight for it again for the first time in two years.

Smiling to himself, Billy stood up straight.

"Shazam!"

Kacha-!
On the other side of the world, Zhang Yi's fingers trembled slightly, and then he gently opened his eyes.

(Sir, how was the harvest?)
Miss Time, who had been squatting beside Zhang Yi, noticed Zhang Yi's movements and quickly came over and asked curiously.

'It's okay.' Zhang Yi hadn't completely escaped from the magical feeling just now. He rubbed his somewhat swollen temples and replied. 'Although I didn't find the key person, I still gained something by accident. '

(That’s good, it seems that the world has accepted your magic energy, and adults will be more comfortable using magic here.)

'Well, this is also good news. At first, I thought that using magic here would be ostracized, but now it seems that this world is very tolerant. Zhang Yi smiled.

(So ​​you already know what to do next?)

'That's right. Although the overall plan still needs to be conceived more rigorously, the primary goal is now clear. '

Zhang Yi thought so and stood up directly. He raised his head and looked at the night sky. Looking at the dark sky covered by dark clouds without any starlight, Zhang Yi licked his lips.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high, it's a good time to summon demons."
