'Shazam—!' Parasite Demon roared, grabbing with a large hand, attempting to seize Dane.
Dane flew to avoid it, delivering a series of punches to Parasite Demon's chest, producing a booming sound like distant thunder.
The ground they were on also sank little by little under Dane's continuous blows, and the already overburdened continental shelf began to fracture.
The inverted pentagram on Parasite Demon's chest glowed with Fire, spewing Hellfire.
Dane retaliated; the lightning emblem on his chest flashed with explosive lightning, striking the Hellfire.
Parasite Demon had absorbed the magic of many superheroes and Scylla, making its energy extremely abundant.
Dane possessed the infinite energy of the dream stone, coupled with the superposition of his dual Six Divine Powers, making his power endless.
The energy Impact from both sides spread outwards, and the immense heat scorched the Earth like a falling Sun.
Thousands of miles around were scorched by the heat dissipated from the clash of their energies; reinforced concrete was burned into a red, viscous substance.
Martian Manhunter would absolutely not dare to stay in such a place.
Parasite Demon was astonished by the opponent's energy intensity; truly worthy of being the leader of the Justice League, this power was indeed on a completely different level than everyone else.
But!
Parasite Demon's mouth split into a wide grin; Dane's energy could be absorbed!
Although the progress was slow, and absorbing this power was extremely difficult, every exchange between them made Parasite Demon stronger, which was no different from other heroes.
Parasite Demon finally relaxed and used magic to connect with the remaining 'parasites' on Earth.
That's right, a small portion of 'parasites' were still scattered across the World; having been on Earth for so long, they naturally understood the principle of 'a cunning rabbit has three burrows'.
Only now, having confirmed that it could defeat Shazam, Parasite Demon finally decided to completely complete its soul.
This would add the final piece to its power puzzle, completely overwhelming Shazam!
Under its magic power, the 'parasites' hidden around the World responded one after another.
Their souls were summoned and absorbed by Parasite Demon through their shared connection, finally making it truly complete.
The moment its soul was complete, Parasite Demon felt its power inside grow again, and the Impact of the magic riot exploded, even sending Dane flying.
Parasite Demon roared, its eyes emitting heat vision condensed from Hellfire.
Dane's eyes also simultaneously lit up with blue electric arcs.
There were many ways to release energy, but to free up one's hands better, releasing it from the eyes was indeed the most convenient.
Two blue rays shot from his eyes, intertwining with Parasite Demon's red rays, forming a stark contrast.
The clash of the two energies created residual energy that prevented other superheroes from getting close.
Only Martian Manhunter's intangibility, Clark's man of steel, and Diana's divine shield allowed them to approach that battlefield.
'If they keep fighting like this, this city will be destroyed!' Doctor Fate said gravely.
Albert stood beside him, looking around, scratching his head and muttering, 'Actually, this city is already beyond saving, isn't it?'
Devastated by the Demon Legion, ravaged by abyssal creatures, and affected by the battle's aftermath, if one-tenth of the city's population survived, it would be a miracle!
Hawkman glared at him fiercely, 'You shut up!'
Albert cowered, not daring to speak.
Maxine patted his shoulder in comfort.
Dane and Parasite Demon's energy clash was evenly matched, and soon both stopped this futile behavior.
Parasite Demon lunged, kicking Dane with a knee strike, sending him flying.
Dane's body pierced through several buildings before finally stopping.
His weight and size were still too disadvantaged compared to Parasite Demon; when he stood up from the rubble, he found Parasite Demon had vanished.
He immediately used magic to search for it and soon discovered that Parasite Demon was deep underground, with very intense energy reactions.
What was it trying to do?
Not only he wondered, but all the superheroes were also guessing.
Then, the next moment, the Surface of Los Angeles began to shake violently; the tremor's magnitude was estimated to have far exceeded ten!
The heroes displayed their powers, flying into the sky one after another.
Dane's eyes could see that Parasite Demon had now destroyed the continental shelf, the Surface was completely broken, sinking downwards, revealing a giant pit of flowing magma in the center.
And Parasite Demon was bathing in the magma, absorbing the geothermal energy.
Well, Kryptonian obtain energy by absorbing sunlight, and you obtain energy by absorbing geothermal heat; you're quite adaptable!
By this time, the sunlight had long disappeared, so Parasite Demon came up with this method to increase its energy level, which was very clever and effective.
Parasite Demon's hands glowed with red magical light, and the ground's gravity suddenly increased greatly; Dane, caught off guard, fell into the magma.
But this level of high temperature couldn't harm him in the slightest; Dane stood up from the magma, and molten heat rolled off his body.
'This is the burial place I chose for you; I hope you like it.' Parasite Demon laughed, its power had increased again, and it no longer considered Shazam a threat.
Parasite Demon leaped high, stomping down; the force penetrated the Earth's crust, Los Angeles tilted, magma flowed into the sea, evaporating large amounts of Water vapor.
Dane quickly grabbed Parasite Demon's horns on its head, using the inertia, and pushed his feet against its back of the head.
However, it didn't even break its defense!
Parasite Demon was incredibly fast; it wrapped its hand behind its head, directly grabbing Dane and pinching him in front of its eyes.
'It's useless, I am invincible now!' Parasite Demon roared with laughter, then greedily absorbed the divine power from Dane.
A black barb suddenly appeared in Dane's hand; he stabbed it into Parasite Demon's hand, creating only a very small wound.
But Parasite Demon's face changed drastically; it felt its soul had been damaged!
However, Parasite Demon's soul was both one and all, capable of uniting into one and freely dispersing into thousands of 'parasites'.
So the Kiss of Death ultimately only killed an insignificant 'parasite' scapegoat.
'So you still had this trick up your sleeve!'
Parasite Demon couldn't help but feel a little scared; soul attacks were the most insidious, and it almost fell victim!
But Dane had gleaned the information he wanted from that attack.
He couldn't help but sigh, knowing he would ultimately have to resort to such an ignoble method.
Parasite Demon's power was nearing the limit of what the dream stone could contain, and Cortana was almost unable to hold it.
If he were to attack it with stronger power, it would likely cause harm to the Real World, which went against his original intention.
Thus, Dane's divine power changed, and its attribute underwent a tremendous transformation; Death energy flowed through him.
Parasite Demon sensed it and became secretly vigilant.
Dane opened his eyes, revealing black sclera and golden irises.
He actively approached Parasite Demon, connecting his power to it, which doubled Parasite Demon's efficiency in absorbing energy; a continuous stream of power flowed from Dane into Parasite Demon's body.
Although Parasite Demon didn't understand why, it knew the other party certainly had ill intentions and hastily tried to pull away.
But Dane had already found what he was looking for.
[Ismail, wake up!]
Inside Parasite Demon, Ismail's consciousness suddenly awakened.
He had been hidden so deeply by Dane that Parasite Demon hadn't noticed him at all.
Dane conveyed everything that had happened to him through telepathy, causing Ismail to feel profound injustice and deep greed.
[This is my body!]
Parasite Demon suddenly noticed that its body's functions began to become uncoordinated, and it was shocked to discover that Ismail's soul had actually appeared within its body!
'This is impossible! You, it's you!' Parasite Demon stared fiercely at Shazam.
Shazam had such an ability? There had been no intelligence about this whatsoever!
But did you think this would be useful?
Parasite Demon's magic power erupted within its body, and its soul split into thousands, all attacking Ismail.
Although he was the true Master of this body, it didn't mean he would necessarily gain the upper hand in this battle of souls.
In fact, Ismail was steadily losing ground on the battlefield of souls, even with Dane's magic power assisting him.
But did Dane put his soul in there just to help him reclaim this Demon body and create a new enemy?
Of course not!
Feeling that it was almost time, Dane suddenly withdrew his hand and left Parasite Demon.
The energy connection between them suddenly broke, and Parasite Demon was stunned for a moment.
Then it suddenly felt a peculiar energy explode within its body.
It was Ismail's soul!
Ismail, surrounded by the 'parasites'' souls, suddenly self-destructed; the Impact formed by his soul instantly annihilated all the 'parasites' attacking him.
In the Real World, Parasite Demon's eyes flashed explosively, then lost their luster, and it crashed to the ground...
