Shazam's resistance was unexpectedly resolute.

Superman and Wonder Woman took turns but failed to crush his determination.

Diana seemed to have thought of something and tried to induce Shazam to return to the state of Billy Batson Batson.

"You think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Shazam spread his hands with a sarcastic tone.

"Zeus not only gave me Magic, but also strengthened my soul. The wisdom of Solomon can keep me from falling behind in the dispute with you."

"If I change back to Billy Batson, I will really be just a child, and I will be easily persuaded by you."

"No matter what you think, I have taken over the responsibility and power from Old Wizard. Even if you drive me out of Justice League, I still need to protect the legacy of the ancient wizards left there!"

"You think a child can't afford this, so why don't you just let me guard Council of Eternity by myself? When those Black Magic teachers with evil intentions come, I may not only be unable to defeat them, but in the end I won't even be able to find your help."

After Solomon's suggestion, Shazam very cleverly put the problem back to Superman and the others.

Use his spear to attack his shield.

Diana held his hair with both hands, feeling anxious about Old Wizard, whom he had never met before.

"What kind of guy picks a kid to be his successor?"

Superman lowered his head and thought about it for a while.

"Is it possible that we can take over Seven Deadly Sins sealed by Council of Eternity to Justice League, so that the responsibility of Shazam can be liberated."

Diana sighed.

"That puts the responsibility on Justice League other Magic divisions. I--are you sure you have the authority to make this decision?"

Batman's voice suddenly sounded behind Superman.

"Zatanna They won't be able to get out in a short time."

In order to guard against God of War repeatedly causing trouble in secret, those Magic divisions who have just joined Justice League are now diligently arranging multiple Dimension to monitor Magic circle.

Superman seemed to have just remembered this matter, and sat slumped on the chair, his head drooping.

Batman suddenly turned his attention to Superman, and then gave a slight gesture to Shane.

Superman and Shane understood, stood up, and left the conference room following the footsteps of Batman.

Diana looked at the three people leaving with some confusion, feeling ridiculous for a moment.

"What's going on? Why does Shane suddenly seem to have a good understanding with them?"

Firestorm was stunned for a moment and pointed at himself.

"You ask me?"

The voice of Aquaman sounded faintly.

"To be honest, the three of you used to look at each other and leave together. I often thought the same when I was watching from behind."

The three of them stayed away from the conference room and arrived near the circular corridor before Batman took out a transparent glass box.

The box is covered with flannel. The spy Atomica, who is still in a comatose state, has been shrunk and is lying in the center of the flannel with an extremely peaceful expression.

Superman crossed his hands and rubbed his arms.

"The thought of putting someone in my ear makes me feel weird."

--

Batman opened the glass box, used a ring-sized gravity device to take out Atomica, and then motioned Superman to squat down a little while speaking calmly.

"I asked Cyborg and Zatanna to jointly hypnotize Atomica." She will think that she has always been in your body, but when she fought Zhent before, the powerful impact made her comatose for a while."

Carefully put Atomica into Superman's ear, and Batman looked at Shane again.

"As for what you mentioned before, the other party may very well have people lurking in our world----"

Batman confessed to Shane that he had no ideas at the moment, so he wanted to ask Shane if he had any more opinions.

Shane I really didn't expect that Batman was actually a person willing to brainstorm ideas.

Of course, this trait may only be limited to Justice League. If he returns to Gotham, he will definitely refuse all help from outsiders.

Either someone like Nightwing has been raised since childhood, or someone like Superman can come over and help the old bat solve some troubles.

"I don't have the ability to stay awake for a long time in Hypertime, so I can't see the development of some events very vaguely."

As for how he learned more information, Shane pushed it all to Hypertime. As for whether Batman believed it or how much he believed, it had nothing to do with him.

So Shane just briefly mentioned the existence of Outsider, and didn't even tell the editor of Batman that Outsider is the reverse homologue of Alfred.

However, Shane also selectively revealed part of the information that Secret Society of Super-Villains and Outsider had been acting independently secretly.

"Outsider----"

Batman fell into deep thought.

"A person who has no reasonable identity, but can accurately obtain our information, and can hide in a place that is almost difficult for us to find."

Batman silently opened the projection information of all current members of Justice League, held up his chin and began to look at it.

Shane showed a serious expression.

This guy, Old Bat, had doubts and suspicions, but finally pointed the target at his teammates.

Even though the old members had fought side by side and the new members were personally inspected and recruited by Old Bat, he still believed that Outsider might be related to a certain member of Justice League.

Superman turned his head uncomfortably and pointed at his ears.

"How long until she wakes up?"

Batman stared at the list of all Justice League members and responded calmly.

"Three minutes and forty-two seconds."

Just when Superman wanted to express whether he could be allowed to leave first, the alarm suddenly sounded again in Watchtower.

Superman and Shane looked at each other and rushed in the direction they came from.

Shane walked a few steps quickly and suddenly looked back at Batman who was still standing quietly on the spot.

The latter was seen standing directly under the warning light installed on the ceiling, his whole body shrouded in flashing red light, still raising his hand to point at the projection list in front of him.

After noticing Shane's gaze, Batman turned off the projection.

"Let's go."

Shane squinted his eyes slightly. At a glance just now, Batman had clearly cleared out most of the projections that were originally all over the faces of Justice League members, leaving only two or three people.

What did this guy rely on to eliminate suspicion and lock the target?

But Batman just quickly passed Shane, and the raised cloak swept past Shane's eyes.

When the three of them returned to the conference room one by one, Shazam's previous appearance of a rebellious boy had disappeared, leaving only a look of impatience and panic on his face.

"Council of Eternity has been invaded again! Damn it, that place is like a colander. Why do I feel like so many guys can get in now if they want?"

Batman frowned a little.

"Zatanna didn't they help you strengthen Council of Eternity's seal last time? There can't be so many powerful mages on earth who can release Seven Deadly Sins at will."

"Uh----"

Shazam's expression suddenly became embarrassed, and he realized that he had not told everyone one thing.

"Council of Eternity not only seals Seven Deadly Sins, but there are other things inside."

"What?"

"Human knowledge, law, virtue, craftsmanship, and art—once any of their origins is plundered or destroyed, the human world will lose its corresponding way of thinking and inspiration for development."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.

Diana is going crazy again.

"So what kind of bastard is this that gives so many important things to a child for safekeeping?!"

Shane suddenly fell into thought.

Things like virtue and art don't sound that important. What kind of person would seize these things?
