Boom!
Thunder struck Eric's body, emitting a deafening sound.
Countless intense lights burst forth from Eric's body, looking as if his body had been struck by lightning, causing a violent explosion of strong light.
Shazam, who was at the center of the explosion, looked at Eric, who was covered by lightning not far away, with a solemn expression.
The entire sky trembled with the aftershocks of the thunder, and the air quivered slightly.
The powerful might of the thunder covered the entire sky.
But to Shazam's surprise, after the lightning in his sight dissipated, Eric appeared in his vision completely unharmed.
Enveloped by lightning, with silver electric sparks circling his body, Eric, whose uniform was not even damaged, exuded a terrifying aura, and his eyes glowed with a crimson light.
Just as Shazam stared in shock at the unharmed Eric, a golden Staff suddenly appeared in Eric's hand, giving off an intense oppressive feeling.
Eric, standing in the atmosphere, aimed the Star Scepter at Shazam and uttered two words.
"Shazam!"
Shazam: "?!"
The moment Eric shouted "Shazam," a thick bolt of lightning shot from the Star Scepter, striking Shazam.
With a bang!
Shazam, struck by lightning, let out a scream, and his body immediately transformed from a burly adult superhero into a teenage child.
"Ah?"
Shazam, transformed into a child, screamed and fell from the sky.
Eric, on the other hand, instantly teleported in front of where the other party was falling and grabbed him.
The reason he was hit by lightning but remained unharmed was due to the blessing or curse bestowed upon him by The Trinity Goddess Hecate—any magic originating from her lineage could not harm Eric.
As for being able to emit lightning from the Star Scepter that could transform Shazam, the reason was that he used the Star Scepter to absorb some of the lightning power and then unleashed it on Shazam.
He learned this move by following Ms. Marvel Carol.
Captain Marvel Carol Danvers, who is also an alternate self of Shazam from another comic universe, when fighting Shazam across the cosmic barrier, was hugged by Shazam's arm and lifted into the sky, then struck by a magical lightning bolt.
This move was effective against Superman, who was weak in magic, but it was not enough against a powerful being like Carol, whose energy was not weak.
Although the magic lightning struck her, it completely enraged her.
Carol activated her "Binary" form, instantly reversing the battlefield situation.
She directly used the absorbed shockwave to send Shazam flying, and then with another move, she knocked Shazam back into his troublemaker form.
The principle behind it was that Captain Marvel could absorb energy; she absorbed the magic lightning that struck her, stored it in her body, and then released it onto Shazam.
The lightning Eric emitted from the Star Scepter also had the same effect on Shazam.
Eric, holding the child-like Billy, pinched his cheeks to prevent him from speaking, and slowly descended from the sky.
Billy, unable to speak at this moment, could only let Eric do as he pleased.
Extremely frustrated, he didn't even know how he had lost to the other party.
The moment he landed on the ground, a green light flew from a distance.
Green Lantern Hal Jordan, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, appeared before Eric.
The Green Lantern, with a somewhat youthful face, was not one of the trio from the future, but the Green Lantern of this timeline.
At this time, he had already obtained the Green Lantern Ring and become a true Green Lantern.
This type of Green Lantern, chosen by the Green Lantern Ring and acknowledged by a great will, was far beyond what Jenna, who could only use the ring to fire energy blasts, could compare to.
"Homelander!"
Hal, wearing the Green Lantern Ring, stood in mid-air and shouted at Eric with a complex expression.
"Hal Jordan?"
Eric, still pinching Billy's mouth, cast a questioning look at Hal.
"You finally showed up. I sent quite a few people to look for you before."
"I know, I was just…"
Hesitating slightly, he said to Eric, "I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have seen my mother again."
What Hal was referring to was when Eric, during his mother's illness, sent her to the hospital for timely rescue, preventing her original Death.
"No need to thank me, I just promised someone I'd look after you and your mother."
Eric looked at the slowly descending Green Lantern and said, "You've been hiding and refusing to show up, and now you appear before me. Is it because of this child?"
