Shazam was quite happy that his idol knew him.
"I can't believe you know me. I mean, my fame has always been very small. Of course, it's not small in my city, but compared to the whole of America, my fame is still very small."
Shazam's voice became a little excited.
As he spoke, he prepared to pull out a notebook to ask Eric for an autograph, but he immediately remembered that he was not in Billy's child form right now.
He coughed and said to Eric, "I am Shazam, a hero who upholds justice in the world. I possess the power of six gods. Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury have given me a portion of their abilities. My duty is to uphold justice and fairness in this world."
Shazam's expression became a little serious.
Although he really wanted to express to the other party that he was a crazy fan of his, he now had more important things to do.
That was precisely the reason he came to Metropolis.
He wanted to figure out why Eric went from choosing to protect Earth's humans to ruling them.
Although he was only twelve years old at this time and couldn't deeply understand the wisdom Solomon bestowed upon him, he still felt that he needed to find the answer himself.
And facing the suddenly appearing Homelander, he felt it was best to appear a bit stronger.
He would try to use a forceful approach to get the answer he wanted to know.
Moreover, after transforming into Shazam, his temper always became a bit irritable.
At least, when he was a child, his temper was very gentle.
"But you, Homelander, your recent actions clearly conflict with the justice I uphold and maintain."
Shazam said to Eric with a serious expression, his tone also becoming a few shades more solemn.
"So..."
Eric looked at the other party, frowning.
"Are you here to cause trouble?"
Dangerous light flickered in Eric's crimson eyes as he directed them at the other party.
Although he knew the other party was a powerful guy, Eric didn't take this child too seriously.
No matter how the other party inherited the power of the six gods, in his eyes, he was always a twelve-year-old child.
Shazam originally wanted to say that he had no intention of fighting the other party, but after seeing the crimson light in Eric's eyes, he changed his mind.
He might as well fight the other party here and test Homelander's strength.
After he gained his abilities, he had never encountered any powerful enemies, nor did he know what level his current strength was.
The Homelander in front of him was his idol, and he could just help him verify it.
Moreover, through battle, he might be able to unravel the doubts he had always had.
"Yes, I'm here to stop you! Perhaps your intentions were right at first, and you carried many hopes, but gradually many changes occurred. I saw the terrified faces of the people, I saw their unease. Perhaps your good intentions led to more misfortune."
Shazam said to Eric with a serious expression.
As he spoke, he summoned lightning, preparing to use it for battle.
But before the lightning was fully summoned, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
With a bang, Shazam fell straight backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
The hard stone slab on the ground was instantly smashed through by his sturdy body, creating a deafening sound.
"Sha!"
Seeing Eric standing in front of him, Shazam, lying on the ground, endured the pain and prepared to shout "Shazam" to summon lightning to strike Eric.
But he only managed to shout "Sha" before Eric covered Shazam's mouth.
"Mmm!!!"
Meanwhile, in Riverside City, California.
Clark was walking on the street at night. Dressed in sportswear, he walked along the street, looking up at the faintly visible moon in the sky, his expression a little melancholic.
Since leaving Metropolis, he had been in this city.
The reason he had stayed here was because he wanted to make up for that regret—Alicia's regret.
Alicia once told him that she hoped he would accompany her to California.
At that time, he refused Alicia's request, and as a result, he never realized that dream until Alicia passed away.
So he had been staying in Riverside City recently, the Californian city Alicia had always hoped to visit.
After walking a few steps along the street, he suddenly noticed a little girl selling flowers along the street.
