Chapter 127: Kang Scams Shazam's Power, Outsider Scams the House of Mystery
"It's fucking unbelievable, this is actually a child? That damn old, toothless wizard who can barely walk actually gave him all his power?"
"This is fucking deadly."
Constantine's string of profanities came out faster than smoke rings.
Billy, now back in his original form, was still thinking about the benefits Constantine had promised:
"How do we dispel that offensive spell?"
Constantine handed over the voodoo doll:
Use this.
Billy reached out and caught it, but immediately realized something was wrong. He shouted emotionally:
"Shazam!"
He tried to transform back into Shazam, but the transformation failed. The voice that came out of his mouth was a magnetic middle-aged voice, not his original clear boyish voice.
Billy was about to retrieve the voodoo doll when he was captured by Constantine.
"This child has swapped voices with me, and I can now utter his magical keywords," Constantine said in a clear, youthful voice.
Billy: "You son of a bitch."
It would be incongruous for a teenager to swear, but since Billy is now Constantine's voice, it makes perfect sense for him to swear.
While Constantine was conning Billy, a pink-haired man with a fence tattoo, drowning his sorrows in a bar, had just been kicked out by the bar owner.
He leaned against the eaves and made a phone call; the person on the other end was someone from the Cold Flame Church that Constantine had mentioned.
"Constantine and a hooded freak who eats sunflower seeds at super speed?" the person on the other end of the phone said. "Never mind him."
You only need to deal with Constantine. Once he's dead, taking down all the magicians in the world will be a piece of cake.
"Now, I want you to say the word that was taught to you."
Without the slightest hesitation, Mop Mop, with her pink hair, opened her mouth and said, "￥!"
His eyes flashed with golden light, and then his entire body split in two vertically from the middle, and a demonic monster burning with flames burst out of his body.
Without pausing, the monster smashed through the bar door that had just blasted him out and charged inside with a roar.
Constantine was in the bar at that moment, continuing to use his clear voice to fool the children:
"Don't worry, I'm not seeking your power for myself. I don't want to wear your tights—your magic clashes with mine."
"Then why did you switch voices?" Bi asked in a rough tone.
“I have no choice. You have no idea what disastrous consequences this magic could have if it went out of control. What if you do something good but end up doing something wrong? I have to make sure you can’t use magic for the time being,” Constantine said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the monster that had emerged from MopMop's body burst through the door and pinned Constantine to the ground.
"What the hell is that thing? Give me back my power, you bastard!" Billy shouted, jumping up and down in frustration.
Constantine, pinned beneath the monster, shouted before his face was blasted apart:
"Shazam!"
Then the monster's claws pressed down on his face; with just a little force, his head would turn to mush.
But magical lightning descended from the sky, striking Constantine, severing the monster's claws that were holding Constantine, and transforming Constantine into someone wearing a trench coat and cloak.
"Mop Mop? You've turned into a monster, and I've become like this. We're both a bit out of character, aren't we?"
As Constantine spoke, he punched the monster in the chin.
However, the monster was very strong. Constantine's punch did not harm it. Instead, the beam of light emitted from the monster's eyes forced it to retreat repeatedly.
Billy's hands were still covered, but in this chaos, he saw the sunflower seed shells he had spat on the ground wriggling strangely, forming the word "lie to him".
At the same time, one of the seeds sprouted tentacles and quietly unlocked Billy's lock, while another group of seeds handed him the voodoo doll.
Billy hesitated for a moment, then tentatively called out to the monster:
"Hey! Ugly duckling, are you chasing me?"
"You hit him? You gotta go, you idiot? I fucking swapped bodies with this brat! You moron!"
The monster immediately fixed its gaze on Billy, who was cursing at it in a middle-aged man's voice.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Constantine grabbed the monster's upper jaw from behind, pressed down on its shoulder with his other hand, and pulled its head off its neck.
"Phew, your magic is too much of a burden for me—" Constantine said.
Even though the battle lasted only a few seconds, he felt as if his body was being torn apart.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Billy quietly approached Constantine and slipped the voodoo doll he was holding into his hand.
"Shazam!"
Billy transformed back into his towering Shazam form, looking down at Constantine, who lay weakly on the ground, embracing the monster's corpse.
"..."
He was organizing his thoughts, and his eyes weren't on Constantine, but on the pile of sunflower seeds.
Shazam had witnessed Connors' ability to manipulate plants, so it was easy to understand that Connors was secretly helping him in the current situation.
So even though he possessed "Solomon's wisdom," Shazam was still waiting for Connors to give him a hint.
Connors didn't disappoint him either; the sunflower seeds quickly formed words on the ground:
"Human relationships".
So Shazam cleared his throat:
"You tricked me into using my power to fight this monster? But in the end, you still relied on me to defeat it."
"The wizard bestowed this magical power upon me, and naturally only I can use it perfectly. Constantine, I saved your life, and I owe you a huge favor."
After Shazam finished speaking, Constantine, who was lying on the ground, paused in his breathing.
The melon seeds on the ground were jumping around like crazy:
He owes you!
Shazam quickly reorganized his words:
"You owe me a favor, Constantine!"
He was planning to say something harsher, but he couldn't save face, so he just said:
"You're such a bastard, tricking me into coming here, kidnapping me, and trying to steal my power. I hope I never see you again."
After saying that, Shazam flew away immediately, not even lingering for a second longer.
"Yay, Constantine's injured?"
After Wonder Woman left, Connors remained invisible, following Constantine into the Mystery House and watching them leave.
With the help of the "Green of the Realm," Connors remotely helped Shazam, with whom he had a good relationship, regain Shazam's power.
As for himself, Connors had already set his sights on the entire mysterious house.
"Rhonda, I've amplified the power of your belt. Could you help me shrink this mysterious house?"
Connors said to Atom, who was peeking out from under his collar like a cat.
Atomic Girl hesitated and said:
"This thing doesn't seem to have a physical form, does it? I can sense that this house is constantly changing its shape at the atomic level, and I can't shrink it."
"Then I'll try another method," Connors said.
The abilities "Magnify" and "Master Pilot" are used simultaneously for the first time, as Connors attempts to wrest control of the Mysterious House from Constantine.
But that wasn't enough. It wasn't until Connors also used "Precision Manipulation" that he completely took control of the house and realized that the underlying logic of the Mysterious House was actually based on magical markings.
"I don't know magic, I need Zatanna to help me remove the spell," Connors pondered, then slapped his forehead, "Wait, what do I need this house for?"
"Theoretically, you can carry it with you to store things," Atomic Girl said weakly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Connors pulled her out from her collar, cupped her in his hands, and patted her head.
"You're right, we have spatial rings too."
After saying that, Connors "precisely controlled" the mysterious house to shrink rapidly until it was small enough to fit in the palm of his hand, then picked it up and pressed it onto "JS's" ring.
"We need to get to Wonder Woman. She should be finding Pandora soon, and Zatanna is with her too. We can ask her to help remove the magical mark."
Connors said, then put "Atomic Girl" back inside her collar, and a black smoke cloak appeared from behind her.
