Billy had been at school when he suddenly heard the Old Mage's summons. He hurriedly made an excuse to leave the classroom, then entered the Rock of Eternity somewhere deserted.
After hearing what the Old Mage had to say, Billy felt awful. Hadn't they agreed they would never meet? It had only been a few days, and Black Adam had already emerged?
I'm just a kid, okay? Why was he being sent to deal with a Great Demon King like that?
"Dealing with Black Adam is Shazam's Mission. You must go there immediately, force Black Adam to reveal Shazam, and then seal him away again."
The Old Mage said in a tone that allowed no refusal, "Black Adam is cruel by nature and possesses Divine Power greater than yours. If he isn't stopped in time, he'll bring a terrible disaster upon the world."
"Shazam's Mission again? How many times has that been now? Last time, you said the Seven Deadly Sins were Shazam's Mission too."
Billy was deeply dissatisfied. He said, "And you just said he has Divine Power stronger than mine. So what am I going there for, to die?
"If that's really the case, I'll buy insurance first. Don't worry, you definitely won't be the beneficiary."
The Old Mage was speechless. He said, "Relax, you won't die. Go intercept him first. I'll contact the Justice League immediately and have them go help you."
"The Justice League? Now that's more like it. Oh, remember to call my teacher and ask for leave on my behalf. Shazam."
Billy thought it over and reluctantly agreed. Then, he transformed into Shazam and teleported to Kandak through the Rock of Eternity.
After Shazam left, the Old Mage contacted Andrew at once. However, Andrew was talking with Batman, so Alice responded to him instead.
