Ice crystals instantly assailed Shazam's mouth, turning into solid ice upon contact and freezing him.
Shazam's mouth was instantly sealed by unmelting solid ice, and a chilling sensation swept into his heart, making even his breathing difficult.
Immediately after, Eric gripped Shazam's head and slammed it to the ground.
With a thud!
Dust from the ground quickly rose, and Shazam's back slammed hard against the ground.
The ground cracked from the impact, a shallow crater formed, and the ground shook violently.
Shazam, feeling a sharp pain in his back, endured it and prepared to fly up to attack Eric, but was instantly kicked in the body by Eric, flying outwards with a thud.
The Xiao Hunhun, who were lying on the ground groaning, were originally astonished by Shazam's incredible performance, but in the next second, they were instantly killed by a suddenly appearing person. Their mouths dropped open in shock, and they even forgot to groan or cry out in pain.
Shazam, kicked away by Eric, slammed heavily onto the ground.
Enduring the pain, he tore off the solid ice from around his mouth and looked at Eric, who stood in the distance, gasping for air.
He knew the other party didn't intend to kill him; otherwise, while his mouth was covered, he would have had a definite opportunity to strike him down.
Calming his breathing, Shazam flew into the air and swooped down to attack Eric.
Since the other party wanted to see his abilities, he would display them without hesitation.
Shazam flew quickly towards Eric, but was struck in the body by Eric's faster Heat Vision.
At the same time, Shazam also hurled the lightning in his hand towards Eric.
Slamming heavily onto the ground, Shazam immediately rolled to his feet and looked at Eric, who had been hit by the lightning.
However, he found that the other party had easily dodged the lightning and was standing in front of him.
Focusing more mental energy, Shazam let out a roar and struck at Eric.
But his fist was caught by Eric, whose eyes emitted Heat Vision, instantly blasting him backward.
"No, no!"
Shazam quickly concluded that his current self was definitely not the opponent's match.
He wanted to use the more powerful lightning from his transformation to defeat his opponent.
But looking at the Xiao Hunhun lying on the ground not far away, and the surrounding buildings, he suddenly calmed down.
If he summoned the lightning from his transformation, it would inevitably cause massive destruction here.
He could not bring himself to attack without regard for the lives of those around him.
At the same time, a sense of relief suddenly arose within him; if his mouth hadn't been covered by the other party just now, he might have truly caused irreparable damage.
Looking at Eric, Shazam slowly stood up.
Since he couldn't use lightning here, he would go into the air.
After being thoroughly beaten by Eric, his uniform had developed cracks, was wrinkled, and the lightning emblem on his chest had dimmed somewhat.
His impressive full head of hair was now disheveled.
With a roar from Shazam, he charged directly at Eric.
The lightning swirling around him rapidly expanded, like a constantly blooming white flower bud, quickly growing larger.
The lightning field surrounded him, not only granting him faster speed but also giving him super strong attack power and destructiveness.
The surrounding air was completely torn apart by the lightning, and with a loud bang from beneath Shazam's feet, he shot towards Eric like a cannonball.
Eric, sensing the opponent's speed that even his optic nerves couldn't capture, activated his super speed and moved his body away just before the opponent launched his attack.
The reason he hadn't eliminated the opponent for now was simply that Eric wanted to use the opponent's combat experience to advance his own template progress.
After losing sight of Eric, Shazam's movements lagged for a moment, causing him to miss hitting Eric.
And at this moment, Eric had already moved behind him, his right fist clenched, a crackling sound, accompanied by a slight distortion of the air around his entire arm, exploded towards Shazam's head like a bolt of lightning.
Shazam, empowered by the strength of the six gods, quickly detected Eric behind him and immediately swung his arm back to block Eric's attack.
Even though Eric's speed exceeded his reaction time, he could still barely block Eric's attack relying on his perception.
Eric immediately changed his move, his left fist striking at a strange angle towards his chin.
Shazam failed to dodge this attack, stumbling backward in the air.
Every punch and kick from Eric carried immense power, blasting the air in front of him before striking Shazam's body.
Against such a freak, Shazam was completely helpless and found himself at a disadvantage.
Crack!
Shazam, enduring the sharp pain of a punch to his chest, grabbed Eric's left arm with his right hand and violently pulled him towards himself.
Thump!
Shazam, taking advantage of the moment Eric's body turned towards him, grabbed Eric's arm, roared, and embraced him.
Being hugged by a large man, Eric didn't feel good; discomfort was secondary, the most important thing was disgust.
Just as he was about to act, Shazam, holding Eric, prevented him from breaking free and rapidly flew towards the sky.
In a brief instant, they reached the atmosphere.
"Shazam!"
He shouted the incantation, summoning a magical lightning bolt to strike the immobilized Eric.
Shazam had also used this move against Superman in the future; at that time, Clark's chest hair was the casualty, completely burned off.
(Typo: Chest hair, not chest!)
As for Eric, he knew Shazam was going to use this move the moment he was hugged, and immediately reacted.
At a thousand meters high, with Shazam's roar, lightning capable of destroying everything descended from the sky.
Carrying immense power, it instantly enveloped Eric.
