A Handshake

First, his combat experience is rich enough. Among those present, perhaps only Hawkman can compare.

Batman knew that without explaining the reason, it would be difficult to appease Shazam, this giant infant. Moreover, he needed Shazam's help to enter Olympus and the Divine Realm.

Hawkman awkwardly waved his hand.

"I haven't fully recovered my past life memories, and most of my reincarnations didn't involve much combat—let alone experience fighting against beings like Superman."

Shazam and Aquaman's expressions changed instantly.

Neither of them had expected Shane's experience to be so complicated.

The others, however, had more or less already gained some understanding of Shane.

Even the usually most reckless Green Lantern uncharacteristically refrained from commenting.

By Oa, that kid only held the Yellow Lantern ring for a few seconds? Without even wearing it, his physical fitness had already surged so much. Facing this unprecedented bane of the Lantern Corps, Hal felt a sense of self-awareness for the first time.

Shane, on the other hand, began to worry.

"I haven't fully mastered the combat style of Teacher Prince. My fighting style doesn't include the concept of sparring at all. If I accidentally kill a few more gods, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle Zeus."

Although he didn't understand how powerful Zeus of this universe was, since he was already renowned in his past life as the King of Gods, he was probably not simply strong.

Even Superman believed he might not be Zeus's opponent, so Shane dared not be overly arrogant.

Due to a severe lack of information, considering comparisons with the more familiar Marvel universe from his past life, with Odin, the King of Gods of the Norse pantheon, as a reference, Shane felt that venturing into the Divine Realm alone would likely be a one-way trip.

But since Batman said so, he must have his considerations. Therefore, after briefly stating his worries, Shane stopped speaking.

Batman nodded slightly, and his deep, calm voice sounded again.

"The second point is that Cyborg and I have studied the contents of the parchment and the circumstances of Diana's disappearance. We've reached a conclusion with a high probability: Zeus is likely not angry about the theft of the Golden Apple."

Shazam was a bit stunned. He looked intently at the parchment on the screen again, scrutinizing it for a long time, gradually grasping some of its meaning.

Shazam also possessed the divine power bestowed by Zeus. Therefore, even if he didn't recognize the corresponding script, he could directly comprehend the content of the text, which also contained divine power, through his divine power and Solomon's wisdom as a bridge.

Before, through the screen, Shazam hadn't paid close attention. But this time, he was the first to respond to Batman's second point.

"If Zeus's anger was only displayed through kidnapping and leaving a threatening letter, it would be too petty. I feel now that they want Shane to enter the Divine Realm alone to discuss some matters?"

Hawkman, with some ancient memories, let out a disdainful smile.

His memories across lifetimes might not include direct contact with gods, but he had encountered divine priests more than once.

"Those high-and-mighty beings don't want to show a gentle attitude towards a mortal. They care too much about their so-called divine dignity, inviting someone in such an awkward way. But if you go alone, they certainly won't let you take the person away so easily."

Batman looked at Shane.

"So, once you go in, combat is likely unavoidable, but Zeus probably won't make a move against you. We will monitor your condition through technological means at all times. If it truly comes to a critical juncture, the Justice League will not abandon you and Wonder Woman."

Shazam stood up and walked over, patting Shane on the shoulder.

"Buddy, although I don't know your background, don't underestimate those gods too much, especially the God of War. The destructive power he can unleash in the mortal world and the Divine Realm is completely different."

Shane shrugged his shoulders, shaking off Shazam's rough hand, feeling a bit speechless.

"Didn't you just repeat what Superman said Teacher Prince said earlier?"

"No."

Shazam surprisingly showed a serious expression.

"I just communicated with Solomon's wisdom, which allowed me to glimpse a sliver of the God of War's true state. Honestly, I'm not even confident I could take down that God of War alone in the Divine Realm."

Shazam extended a hand to Shane.

"So, kid, if your strength isn't even on par with mine, I still suggest you reconsider. It's too dangerous for you to break into the Divine Realm alone."

Shane was quite surprised. He hadn't expected Shazam to have such a reliable side.

A moment later, Shane extended his arm, and the two hands, one large and one small, clasped together.

Both began to exert force simultaneously, immense power gathering in their palms.

This time, Shane was using a level of strength far beyond what he had displayed in the previous two tests.

Whether in tests or in normal combat, in both situations, exerting strength required considering whether excessive output would cause devastating damage to the surrounding environment.

Even Batman's advanced technology could withstand the force of Shane and Shazam's direct punches, but just condensing immense power and swinging a fist at high speed could generate wind pressure strong enough to blow apart a reinforced concrete building like tofu.

Viltrum also had such courses because Viltrum valued conquest, not the complete destruction of the planetary resources they needed.

Just as it's best not to exceed Mach 5 in speed in a terrestrial environment, as it would cause immense environmental damage.

Therefore, all indoor tests only allowed you to exert a tested level of output, focusing on the degree of control you needed to wield freely, without causing destructive overflow.

But now they were in outer space, surrounded by the Justice League's top members. Shane believed that in this location, exerting his full strength wouldn't be a major issue.

Batman shot a look at Superman, who understood immediately. His bio-electric field spread out, diverting the power emanating from Shazam and Shane.

Cyborg's electronic eyes flickered continuously. Besides Batman, he was actually the one in the Justice League who knew the most about Shane's origins.

From the moment Shane first appeared on Earth, all modern electronic devices were essentially Cyborg's extended senses.

One second, two seconds.

Cyborg's expression shifted from its initial calmness to shock.

The electronic eye flickered with a blue light.

"They're outputting 2.4 x 10¹² tons of TNT energy every second. If Superman hadn't redirected it, the Watchtower would have already exploded."

Flash quickly calculated for a tenth of a second.

"Whoa, are you saying they're releasing enough power every second to destroy the entire Australian ecosystem?"

Shazam's gaze also turned to admiration.

"I still have strength. How about you?"

"Me too."

Shane replied with a smile.

"Then let's end it here. I believe you won't have any problems."

The two tacitly released their strength at the same time, then let go of each other's hands.

Batman calmly tapped the table.

"Now, I will explain the plan to open the entrance to the Divine Realm."
