Khonsu, the Moon God, who was just about to escape and find a new "Moon Knight," was directly killed by Eric.
Even though Khonsu possessed many authorities, with all his magic restrained and unable to be cast, he could only watch as Eric killed him.
The starlight in Khonsu's eyes dimmed.
His body turned to dust in Eric's hand, slipping through his fingers.
"This…"
Everyone was stunned, watching Eric grab the being that had run out of his body and instantly destroy it.
"What is that?"
Detective Chimp Bobo's mouth dropped open in astonishment as he looked at Circe next to him.
"What was that thing, Circe?"
"Apparently, the deity who bestowed blessings upon the man was killed by him the moment he abandoned the man."
Circe was also somewhat surprised by this turn of events, a look of shock appearing in her eyes.
"This man actually accomplished deicide!"
Circe shook her head with a complex expression, "Although I don't know how he did it, to kill the opponent without hesitation, not giving The Trinity Goddess any chance to exploit the situation—even this ruthlessness and decisiveness are not something an ordinary person can achieve! Who exactly is he?!"
"But in that case, his strength is indirectly weakened, isn't it?"
Detective Chimp Bobo asked with some uncertainty.
"I don't know,"
Circe's eyes still held a look of shock as she said, "But I can feel that the real battle is just beginning!"
Everyone in the square was stunned by the dramatic scene unfolding before them.
The monks stared blankly at the sand-like remains in Eric's hand, which seemed to be the existence of a legendary deity, motionless.
Constantine, with a cigarette in his mouth, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, "This is truly an astonishing performance."
Zatanna's eyes, however, showed a look of confusion.
The two Wonder Woman, who were on the verge of a confrontation, also stopped their mutual hostility and turned their gaze towards Eric.
After casually eliminating Khonsu, a hint of solemnity appeared in Eric's eyes as he fixed his gaze on Hecate before him.
"To prevent me from discovering your secret, you're willing to take the risk and 扼殺 the only possibility?"
Hecate's eyes showed a curious gaze.
"Aren't you hoping to see this kind of development?"
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Eric's mouth. Although he had lost a magical aid, he did not believe he would fail.
As long as the other party revealed her true form, he would find a way to prevent her from returning.
Eric turned his gaze to Zatanna in the distance.
Zatanna's ancestral magic was backward-speaking magic. If she were to speak a backward spell now, seizing the opportunity of magic being out of control, there would be a high probability of summoning Upside-Down Man.
The dark side of magic, the progenitor of all magic, Upside-Down Man, whose magic was stolen by Hecate, would likely be eager to settle accounts with Hecate the moment he saw her there.
Eric's eyes flickered with an unreadable light as he said, "If your purpose is revenge, then I have a story about revenge that you've definitely never heard."
"What?"
Hecate looked at Eric with interest.
"At the dawn of the universe, there was a young girl. At that time, she was a symbol of mystery and the moon. Innocent and carefree, she loved to run freely through the universe, as if strolling in her own backyard. One day, she approached the boundary of the backyard and discovered a vast world outside.
It was a place filled with countless treasures, things that could change the entire universe—power, will, energy, existences that could be described with any grand, mysterious word.
So she dug a small hole in the fence and stole that substance. This substance, which she stole, was later called 'Witchfire.' It was so powerful that it even changed her own body. From then on, she became linked with mystery; she became witchcraft.
However, outside the fence, she also saw an existence that filled her with fear, dark and impossible to look at directly. Fear was born in the girl's heart; she did not want that dark existence to enter this world. So she plugged the hole, preventing it from coming in."
Eric's tone was very slow, but Hecate's expression became serious.
"She began to use her witchcraft to transform this world, to make everything better for herself. She shared her power with the humans on Earth.
At first, humans worshipped her, regarding her as the creator of everything. The young girl was very happy; she bestowed some of her divine power upon certain human leaders, making them gods. Among them, Zeus was the most flattering and adept at buttering her up, so Zeus received more of her support.
Finally, the young girl decided to join Zeus's tribe and married Zeus's brother, Hades. But Zeus's ambition gradually became apparent; he wanted more. So he set a trap and used God's power to capture the young girl.
Unable to escape God's mighty power, the young girl could only cry every day. She hoped her fiancé, Hades, would save her, but after waiting and waiting, the result was that Hades was getting married, and his bride was his niece.
The young girl's last shred of fantasy was shattered; her heart was filled with darkness. One day, she broke free from the trap, and she decided to seek revenge!"
After Eric finished speaking, he looked at Hecate.
"The name of that young girl, I think you should know who she is, Witch Mother, right?"
Hecate gazed at Eric with a complex look.
First, the young girl among the three faces, then the middle-aged woman with a dim expression, and finally, the image of the resentful old hag.
"How dare you expose my past?"
With a furious roar from the old hag, an immense pressure instantly generated within the square.
A torrent of power that made it impossible for anyone to resist.
The two Wonder Woman, who had been watching the battle, suddenly emitted a pale moonlight from their eyes, and their hair flew without wind.
Enveloped in the moon's radiance, the two Wonder Woman had symbols formed by a full moon and a crescent moon appear on their foreheads. Their consciousness immediately left their minds, and they were swept by an uncontrollable force, rushing towards Eric.
Clark and Kara, who were standing behind Eric, immediately stepped forward to block the controlled Wonder Woman when they saw her charging.
"Since you came by following the existence in my mind, you must have seen others, those dark presences, some of which you have always feared to face, such as Upside-Down Man, whose witchcraft you stole."
Eric said unhurriedly, "And I can release him now."
Hearing Eric say this, a hint of fear appeared in Hecate's eyes.
"So you're scared?"
Eric continued to launch his verbal assault against the other party.
The old hag's face, originally filled with anger and fear, changed to the young girl's face, and a smile appeared at the corner of Hecate's mouth.
"No, not fear! It's interest that makes me tremble."
Hecate glanced at the two fighting Wonder Woman in the distance, "The fence in the backyard is strong enough; those things cannot enter for now. And I entered here by other means; you cannot threaten me with this method."
White moonlight shone in Hecate's eyes, "But after all, you guided me to see this world, so I will temporarily put aside my revenge on this world, because the darkness-filled things in your mind greatly interest me. If I forcefully seek revenge on this world, then I will certainly never again see such an astonishing and dazzling world of consciousness."
Hecate seemed to be contemplating retreat, saying to Eric, "But Eric Kent, you believe I owe others debts. Magic is a debt that can never be fully repaid, so…"
A deeper, wilder, and more chaotic magical power, like an untamed wild horse galloping across a dark, desolate plain, swept across the entire square.
"I will transfer a part of this debt to you, so that even when the darkness outside the fence comes to collect, you will also bear the debt."
Eric didn't know what the other party was up to. He immediately summoned the Cosmic Scepter into his hand and simultaneously flew upwards into the air.
Although the Cosmic Scepter was in his hand, he harbored deep doubts about whether this level of energy could deal with Hecate, but waiting to be killed was not his style.
Bang!
Heat Vision shot from Eric's eyes, aiming at the other party.
But the next second, an invisible magical energy controlled Eric's body.
Before he could struggle, it directly flung him away.
"Although I don't know where you summoned this pseudo-god related to moonlight, don't forget that I am the true Moon Goddess!"
Hecate moved to Eric's side in an instant and said coldly.
Although his body was controlled, Eric immediately threw the Cosmic Scepter.
The Cosmic Scepter, emitting a powerful energy beam, directly blasted towards Hecate.
But with a gentle wave of her hand, she instantly dissolved the cosmic energy beam.
"From now on, the magic I've spread throughout this world will have no effect on you. Whenever the moon of night descends, your body will receive my 'blessing,' or rather, 'curse,' becoming even stronger. But…"
Hecate smiled faintly at Eric, "You have accepted my gift, and thus you have taken on a debt. When the existence outside the fence comes to collect, you will also be the one from whom the debt is collected."
Hecate's voice was filled with triumph.
Eric immediately felt an indescribable power pouring into his body.
After speaking, the figure of The Trinity Goddess immediately vanished into the air.
The restraints on Eric's body also completely disappeared.
The two Wonder Woman, who had been fighting Clark and Kara, also regained their sanity. The light in their eyes faded, and the white moonlight that had enveloped their bodies also vanished.
