"Can I pay you back first?"

Zatanna hesitated for a moment before tentatively speaking.

"... You want to get something for nothing???"

Kino's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief.

This woman has such a thick skin, trying to get something for nothing from this devil.

"What do you mean by 'freebie'? We can sign an IOU."

Zatanna's face flushed red instantly; she felt somewhat embarrassed to have been exposed so openly.

To be honest, at first she did have a gambler's mentality, hoping to see if she could save Shazam without paying a price.

"You can sign this IOU now."

Kino snorted coldly and waved his hand, and a contract exuding a strange aura appeared out of thin air.

Zatanna took it and looked at it.

"Today, Zatanna owes Demon King Kino a treatment fee. Interest will begin to accrue in three minutes, doubling every second."

You're robbing me!!!

Zatanna couldn't help but scream; the conditions were utterly outrageous.

"Nonsense, you think I'm some kind of demon king? Who told you to try and take advantage of me for free?"

Kino rolled his eyes.

"No, you're slandering me. I'm the strongest female magician on Earth. Go ask around in Hell; I'm known for my integrity."

Zatanna burned the IOU in her hand.

"Come on."

Kino mercilessly exposed him.

"John Constantine of your world has already incurred a debt of credit to your magical world for hundreds of years to come. It's impossible for any demon to give you an IOU."

Zatanna was speechless.

That damned Constantine, he's a conman everywhere, and his mess and bad reputation have even spread to other worlds!

Damn it, trying to get something for free? Pshaw, who wants to get something for free?

The others also silently memorized the name John Constantine.

"How about this one?"

Wonder Woman placed the Lasso of Truth in front of Kino.

"Not enough... wait, let me try."

Kino shook his head; this thing was no good for him... wait, that's not right.

He picked up the Lasso of Truth and walked straight up to Venom.

What do you want to do?

Venom knew what he was up to at a glance.

"Will you help me with an experiment?"

"Kino said."

"All right."

Venom extended a hand, and just as Kino tied the Lasso of Truth around her wrist, everything blurred before her eyes, and her neck tightened.

Tell me, who is your favorite person?

"Venom."

Kino felt the divine power controlling him and did not resist.

Who is your second favorite person?

"Pamela."

"Third?"

"Evening"

"Did you arrive in order of ranking? Is Gwen fourth?"

Venom was somewhat speechless.

"Yes."

"Fine, just tell me your favorite food."

"Pamela's Nectar"

What is your dream?

"Find a bunch of rich women, live a life of leisure, and have children."

Wonder Woman's lips twitched as she watched her Lasso of Truth become the devil's flirting tool.

The others also looked on with puzzled expressions.

Were they defeated by this guy who dreamed of living a life of leisure and idleness?

"Is this guy really the Demon King?"

"Green Lantern said in a low voice."

"The aura is genuine; perhaps this is how demon lords from other worlds are?"

Zatanna was somewhat uncertain.

Doctor Fate gently stroked the helmet in his hand and closed his eyes.

In the future, he will not see any trace of the Demon King.

But with blue skies, white clouds, and the formation of the Justice League, what are they even doing?

Doctor Fate wanted to see more clearly when suddenly a red light appeared, his eyes stung, and a familiar voice reached his ears.

"Don't look at random things anymore. The more you look, the faster you'll die."

Zatanna noticed the strangeness in Doctor Fate's eyes, and saw blood tears streaming down her face.

What did you see?

"A hopeful future."

Doctor Fate's vision was a little blurry, but he still smiled and said.

"Heal!"

Zatanna began to heal him with ironic magic, and breathed a sigh of relief as she watched his eyes begin to improve.

This means the other party showed leniency.

Once Venom has had its fill of playing, release Kino.

Kino then approached Wonder Woman with a serious expression.

"Your artifact is powerful and of considerable value."

"... Can we begin to save him now?"

Wonder Woman's feelings were very complicated; she even regretted taking out the Lasso of Truth, wishing she had used God-Slaying Sword to get it back.

"No problem."

Kino approached the life support device.

He pierced Billy's chest with his bare hands and ripped his soul out.

Billy's soul is in the form of Shazam; his originally translucent soul is now covered with a reddish-brown, rust-like substance.

The Omega Effect is like a virus eroding his soul; it has already eroded more than half of it.

"This is a technical job."

Kino's fingers moved continuously in the air, and magical runes entered Billy's body.

Stable, protective, strong, resilient, energy, life...

Chaos Magic is actually the most useful, but unfortunately, this world is protected by the Source Wall, which somewhat weakens its ability to alter reality.

Doctor Fate and Zatanna stared intently.

This demon king also knows Rune Magic, which is Odin God's magic.

Although the others couldn't understand it, they could see that Billy's pained expression gradually eased.

"Alright, just one last step."

Kino grabbed Billy's soul, and the Omega Effect within him began to dissipate.

Once the entire transfer is complete.

Kino put the soul back in and took out a potion, injecting it into Billy's body.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as they watched Billy recover quickly.

"Give you a shot too."

Before Wonder Woman could react, her severed arm was also struck, and the wound became unbearably itchy, with bright red granulation tissue growing continuously.

"Thank you!"

Wonder Woman nodded Kino to Kino.

"I never thought I'd hear your thanks one day. Could you say it again?"

Kino pulled out a camera.

Wonder Woman didn't think much of it and thanked her again.

"Was my relationship with you bad in that other world?"

Wonder Woman discovers that although the villain in front of her always talks about deals and seems extremely greedy, he is essentially a good person; he just uses deals to disguise himself.

Only in front of that Venom will he reveal his true self.

"Actually, it's not so bad. It's just that my men burned all your hair and almost turned you into someone I can't afford to mess with."

"Cough cough cough..."

No sooner had Kino finished speaking than the people who had overheard him began to cough violently.

"Any woman would get angry over hair; what does 'can't afford to offend' mean?"

Wonder Woman touched her long hair, somewhat understanding, then asked in confusion.

"If you can't afford to offend them..."

Kino was about to explain when Zatanna interrupted him.

"Shut up, you Lustful Demon King!"

Zatanna's face was flushed; she was still an innocent young girl.

"Wow! You understood."

Kino's lips curled into a smile.

"No, I was just looking... wait, who told you that? Wonder Woman, come with me."

Zatanna pulled Wonder Woman to a corner.
