Dane did not stay long in the Void World.
After confirming that the World where the City Spirit resided was in the same dimension as the Rock of Eternity, he exited that place.
"How do I determine the exact location of the city I'm looking for in the extra dimension?"
"In fact, you can't determine it."
Angelis shrugged; she wasn't intentionally being evasive.
It was because City Spirits are free in the extra dimension, so she could go anywhere.
"Actually, you don't need to determine her coordinates in that World, because a City Spirit must rely on a city in reality for her existence."
"So, as long as you find the city in reality, she will be nearby."
"The city is her body; a Spirit will not leave her body for too long."
Dane rubbed his chin; this feeling was very similar to the concept of Yin Shen and Yang Shen.
According to Angelis, her ability to appear directly in the human World in spirit form was already quite impressive.
This impressiveness had nothing to do with strength; it was a leap in life form.
Her spirit body could stably exist in the material World and also make substantial interventions in the material realm.
Many other cities, as she knew, lacked various conditions.
Their spirit bodies simply could not manifest in the Real World and could only perceive this World through the eyes of the city's residents.
In these circumstances, the impact they could have on the Real World was actually very limited.
Conversely, their influence in the spiritual realm of the city's residents was the greatest.
For example, Kahndaq disliked being under military control by the International Gang, but she couldn't intervene to stop it.
However, she could plant seeds of resistance in the hearts of Adrianna or other Kahndaq people, allowing them to take a step forward in the crucial moment to fight for freedom.
In "Black Adam," the Kahndaq people's uprising against the demon zombie army at the end was an embodiment of this spiritual power.
Dane even suspected that thousands of years ago, when the Wizard Council chose Teth-Adam's son as the champion, the Spirit of Kandake's power was involved.
Moreover, Adrianna only recited the inscription that sealed Adam, and he broke free.
It's hard not to suspect that someone deliberately arranged it.
If that's the case, then Dane, as the contemporary Shazam, and Kahndaq actually have historical ties!
The so-called "since ancient times"... that could at least be traced back to the Wizard Council era, when Shazam and Kahndaq had historical connections.
Dane now had some vague ideas about how to find the Spirit of Kandake; he looked at Angelis.
"Thank you very much for clarifying; this is very useful to me."
"Don't worry, my purpose in coming here is to eliminate the demons."
"So I will help you get rid of the few demons in this city."
"However, demons can escape back to Hell at any time; without blocking that path, this task cannot be perfectly accomplished."
Angelis asked directly, "Do you have any ideas?"
"There should be quite a few churches in Los Angeles, right?"
Angelis nodded.
"How much holy water can you get?"
"How much do you need?" Angelis displayed an extremely generous attitude.
"Enough to completely surround Ernstrom's manor; can you do that?"
"No problem!"
"Very good," Dane said with satisfaction:
"I've already had Constantine trick the other five demons into besieging Beru'er. Once they all enter the manor, you immediately set up the holy water, and the rest is up to us."
Angelis reminded him:
"Beru'er is not the demon's true name; its real identity is Nilgai, skilled in using nightmare magic."
"It's also the real culprit behind the Newcastle incident, right?"
He already knew this information from the movie.
Angelis was a bit surprised, "You know?"
"Of course, as I said, I just happen to know what I should know."
"You didn't tell Constantine about this?"
"What good would it do if he knew? Are you trying to say this is his redemption?"
Dane found it a bit amusing; the "Newcastle" incident was John Constantine's lifelong pain, but it wasn't a mistake that could be rectified.
Just like Batman's parents or Barry's mother, it was these unfortunate experiences that shaped them and made them who they are today.
And for Constantine, it was precisely because of the "Newcastle" incident that he deeply understood that using magic comes with a heavy price.
That's why he became the Hellblazer he is today.
Otherwise, with Constantine's magic talent, he might have caused a huge disaster at some point.
He might even have become a villain.
After all, John Constantine has a certain antisocial tendency; he's just not as insane as the Joker, merely more rational.
Moreover, so-called redemption is meaningless; the little girl who died in "Newcastle" had long become a demon's meal.
Constantine saving ten or a hundred girls like her would be of no avail.
Sometimes, people just need to learn to accept failure to reconcile with themselves.
"Oh, right," Dane said as if suddenly remembering something, "Are you familiar with London?"
Angelis was a bit strange, but she still nodded: "Our relationship is quite good."
The spell she used to release the demon from Constantine's heart was accomplished through London's help.
"Then give this to her."
Dane took out a necklace from the Rock of Eternity, on which was a triangular emblem made of magic crystal and eternal metal.
"Please ask her to help deliver this necklace to Cuixi. You know who Cuixi is, right?"
Angelis certainly knew; she was well aware of everything Constantine did in London.
She took the necklace, carefully holding it in her hand.
"You surprise me; I thought you were the type who didn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all."
"If that were the case, I wouldn't have come here at all, would I?"
Angelis smiled, then turned and left.
Dane continued to study the power of Death; the God of Death's power works better with scythe-shaped or pointed weapons.
So he planned to combine this with eternal metal to create a wrist blade or wrist spike.
Something similar to Wolverine's claws, that can spring out from the arm.
Putting aside other things, its concealment alone is excellent, and he was already eager to compare who was more insidious with Zod.
Not long after, Diana, who had gone out shopping, returned.
She walked around the room, her nose twitching slightly.
"A woman was just here?"
Ah, what's with this déjà vu of being caught cheating?
Dane told the truth: "Someone was here, but she wasn't human."
Seeing Diana immediately enter a battle-ready state, he quickly added, "She's not an enemy either."
"Next time, please just finish what you're saying," Diana rolled her eyes.
When a beautiful person rolls their eyes, it's still pleasing to the eye.
"The one who just came over is an ally of ours; she will help us deal with the demons."
"However, her combat ability is very low; she can only provide logistical support."
Diana's expression turned serious: "Is it about to begin?"
Dane nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, tonight will be the decisive battle."
"How are Bruce and Constantine doing?"
Speak of the devil, Dane's phone rang, and the caller ID was indeed Constantine.
Dane put it on speaker.
"It's done!"
Dane looked at Diana: "You heard that?"
"Then let's go all out!"
Diana rubbed her fists together, seemingly a bit impatient.
