"Pay attention to dodge!"
"You stopped? Why do you have such meaningless and subconscious pity? I can withstand heavier punches than this."
"Look at your head and not your buttocks. Don't block your sight when you're protecting your head!"
"I don't mean that you should not speak at all during the battle, but please remember to keep moving when you open your mouth. Don't stand there like a target."
Shazam quickly raised his arm, covered his swollen eyes with the other hand, and shouted.
"Wait!"
Shane made a sudden stop and was suspended more than three meters above the surface of the ice sheet, frowning.
"What?"
Shazam, who had a dry mouth, swallowed hard and then asked loudly.
"Is there a possibility that when I stop talking it means I want a break?"
Shane was quite dissatisfied. At first he thought Shazam was trying to be lazy, but when he turned his gaze to the person not far behind Shazam -
At Superman, the latter suddenly let out a sigh of relief and then fell down on his back.
Shazam made a gesture towards Shane that an important item from the classic United States cartoon that will affect the direction of the plot will appear.
He turned his body sideways, with his left and right arms wide open, as if making a dash, and opened his mouth to face Superman lying on the ice in the distance.
"You saw, Superman fell down from exhaustion from you."
Shane stared at Superman speechlessly for a while, and finally fell from the air.
"What's going on? No one even saw any blood between us. We held back our strength the whole time."
Shazam collapsed and covered his eyes, his voice trembling.
"Brother, you can't act like this just because you can't see the time on Europa!"
Superman, who was lying far away, raised an arm and shook it in agreement.
"I used Bio-Force Field to time it. We have been training for more than seven hours on Earth time.
Immediately afterwards, Superman's arm dropped down again with a bang, causing dust from the ice to fly.
Really?
Shane looked a little disdainful at first.
He wanted to give an example from his past. For example, in Viltrum, in order to cultivate the continuous lurking and combat capabilities of future independent fighters, they often had to face special training that stretched their physical strength to the limit.
The training time will increase with the corresponding measured data. As a race with super endurance, the longest extreme special training Shane has ever received was six months.
Of course, this is a treatment that only Top Student can have. He is exiled alone to a planet with a very harsh environment. During the continuous battle that is so long that there is no end, he still needs to master the skills of replenishing his physical strength.
Because his super endurance can only support him without eating or drinking for two months, otherwise he will starve to death.
Recalling that time, to sum it up in the simplest words, it was completely unscrupulous and unrestrained.
The desolate beasts that accompanies that planet don't know what it means to hold back their strength. They regard Shane who fell on the planet as their prey, and he was injured in a surprise attack the first hour he set foot on that damn planet.
In six months, old wounds healed and rotted, and new wounds kept coming. Fierce fighting and hiding in Tibet all the way spread blood to almost every inch of the soil on that small planet.
Of course, this special training program was canceled after running only four batches.
At first, Thragg wanted to train a group of super Viltrum subordinates capable of extreme combat. However, after discovering that the mortality rate of this special training mode was extremely high, he quickly ordered it to be banned.
Among the Shane group, he was one of the few Survivor who survived this special training.
No one needs to explain to him, and no one will even praise him a word or two.
Instructor just sent the post-recovery training plan to Shane, who was lying in the nutrition cabin, exhausted both physically and mentally, and then left straight away. Before leaving, he was told that he could train there for up to ten minutes.
After all, it's a civil war.
"Well, I guess that was an oversight on my part."
Shane's pupils gradually retracted partially from the memory.
He thought about it carefully and realized that Superman and Shazam were just Superhero, not biological weapons developed to deal with war times.
Shazam barely held on to his knees and didn't fall down. It wasn't that he had more endurance than Superman, but that Superman had withstood most of Shane's firepower in the past seven hours.
The idea of Shane is also very simple. Superman is stronger than Shazam, so it has more training value.
As soon as I took action, I unconsciously took care of it.
Classic Viltrumite thinking plus Viltrum training method.
Shazam stood up straight with his hands on his waist, looked at Shane who was standing there in a daze, and smacked his lips.
"Dude, why do you look a little anxious?"
Shane came back to his senses, glanced at Shazam who was standing there twisting his waist and moving his body, and raised his hand to touch his cheek.
Anxious?
This is so normal.
Although Shane has always wanted to live in seclusion, problems in this world always arise from all kinds of unexpected places.
If he was just an ordinary person, the worst he could do was not know anything about it and die suddenly one day in a major event that affected a wide range of people.
But he happens to be Viltrumite.
The power he holds determines that he cannot avoid certain things.
Seclusion? Lie down?
Shane has realized that even if he does nothing from the beginning and hides like Tom, the Crime Syndicate incident will involve him in a few months.
Ultraman rules the world and establishes a new regime, covering up Sun and synthesizing a large number of Kryptonite. Ultraman who has accumulated enough time may come to his door one day listening to the heartbeat of Shane.
As Metahumans, who had similar combat power to Wonder Woman at the time, Ultraman would undoubtedly immediately force the reclusive Shane to join the team.
Shane looked at Shazam. Although he didn't intend to say that much, he still explained briefly.
"Perhaps I started to feel anxious from the moment I watched Monarch go to death."
"Why do you think I agreed to Batman to serve as Teen Titans's Instructor?"
Shazam didn't seem to expect that Shane would suddenly give him an attitude, and even asked blankly.
"Isn't it just for the salary?"
"----This only accounts for a small part of the reason, Shazam, imagine that one day you find that you can obviously exert the power, but for some reason like a joke, you made a mistake."
"In a certain crisis, no one else is by your side. Regardless of the specific reason behind it, when it comes time for you to step up to the plate, you don't lack the courage to compete with Achilles, but you rush forward and are defeated with one punch."
"Just like Ultraman last time, your spine was twisted and you could only lie on the ground helplessly, waiting for self-healing. During this period, you watched Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman die in the hands of Ultraman."
"Even if Ultraman is still driven away in the end, can you continue to be so carefree and happy?"
Finally Shane pointed at himself.
"I saw with my own eyes how powerful Monarch was, and then he died at the hands of a stronger being - but when we parted, he told me clearly that I had the chance to become stronger than him."
"The guy who killed Monarch, or some other messy thing, they will one day step into this world, but how much time do I have before I can surpass Monarch?"
"I'm not worried about the world. To be honest, at worst, I can choose to escape into the universe when I see a crisis with my naked eyes."
"But what if it's invisible?"
"If one day I suddenly wake up like Monarch and find that I have missed irreparable hundreds of years----"
Superman, who was not far away, sat up and observed Shane's mental state with some concern.
"You are pessimistic. You are assuming that tomorrow will be bad."
Shane sneered and did not continue the topic.
This is the crux of the problem. He knows that the future of this universe is very likely to be really bad.
All kinds of bad.
Shane rose slowly, leaving the solid ice beneath its feet.
"That's the end of today's training. I'll wait for notification of the next time."
