When he spoke again, Superwoman was surprised to find that it was Alexander Luthor's voice. A terrifying thought formed in her mind.
Dane quickly confirmed her suspicion. He held Mazahs high above his head and shouted loudly, "MAZAHS!"
With a thunderous roar, a black lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking Mazahs and transforming him back into a mortal.
Alexander Luthor also awoke with a start, terrified to discover that his divine Power had vanished.
But when he tried to shout the incantation, he found that he couldn't utter a single syllable, no matter what; he had lost his voice.
Superwoman watched this scene in shock. It seemed Owlman's guess was correct: the word "MAZAHS" was Luthor's fatal weakness, but he wasn't the only one to discover it.
The man before her had not only found Mazahs's weakness but had also taken his voice. Now Luthor could no longer transform.
But Dane threw Luthor aside, seemingly not finished with his task. Superwoman was initially puzzled, but then her eyes widened as if she had realized something.
Dane continued to shout to the sky, "MAZAHS!"
Black lightning appeared again. Luthor reacted immediately, wanting to step forward to receive the lightning bolt.
But unfortunately, he was now just a mortal. When he heard the sound of thunder, it meant everything was already too late. The black lightning bolt struck Dane directly.
Just as Dane had first received the Shazam Power, Mazahs's Power infused Dane with energy. Surging divine Power was absorbed by every cell in Dane's body.
His battle suit also changed under the influence of Mazahs's Power. The suit's color turned black, and more metal armor appeared on it. Unidentified black metal covered his shoulders, chest, forearms, waist and hips, calves, and other areas.
Dane had some doubts that these were pure Nth Metal. When he had fought Mazahs just now, the metal in these areas was so hard that it couldn't be broken, and magic had little effect on it.
If he hadn't spent over an hour relentlessly hammering the guy's face with physical attacks, Dane suspected he might never have been able to breach the defenses of this metal armor.
He remembered that Mazahs had killed the Hawkman counterpart of this World, so it was highly possible that he had stolen Hawkman's Nth Metal and then pieced them onto himself.
However, if that were truly the case, it would also indicate that Mazahs had no idea how to properly smelt Nth Metal; otherwise, it should appear golden. In its current state, it was clear that these armors had not truly unleashed the properties of Nth Metal.
Mazahs's Power is a Power that can be plundered by different people. Each time it changes to a new Master, its voice password will be updated.
And this update requires the previous host to die to be executed, which means that if Alexander Luthor were to die now, Mazahs's Power would only recognize Dane's voice.
But before that, its activation code was still Luthor's voice.
When Dane acquired this Power, Mazahs's Power had already informed him of this, as if encouraging him and the previous host to fight each other. This guy was a bit dishonest.
"Who exactly are you?!"
While Dane was contemplating, Superwoman couldn't sit still in the cockpit. She urgently wanted to know who the man in front of her was.
"My name is Shazam." Dane turned his head, looking at this femme fatale well-known in the Syndicate.
He extended a finger and untied the Lasso of Submission from Superwoman. He had initially expected Superwoman to attack him first, but the woman's reaction was beyond his expectation.
Superwoman's eyes flashed red, and two red energy rays shot out, but the target was not Dane, but Alexander Luthor!
The extreme heat and Impact instantly obliterated Luthor's flesh, not even a trace remaining, swallowed by the surrounding sea.
Dane frowned slightly. He activated his X-ray vision, one of the abilities Mazahs had absorbed, and now it belonged to him.
And the moment Luthor died, Mazahs's Power's voice password was updated. Now he had completely become the new Master of Mazahs's Power.
But Dane didn't feel particularly happy. He frowned and looked at Superwoman: "What are you doing?"
"You see, I'm nipping it in the bud."
Superwoman's heat vision in her eyes dissipated. At this moment, she seemed less hostile than she had been on the Moon.
"You said your name is Shazam, right? No matter who you are, you killed Mazahs, and you are already qualified to join our team, the Crime Syndicate."
Anyway, they and Mazahs had long become enemies. Superwoman, seeing Luthor in this state, naturally made her primary goal to completely eliminate this guy who had become an enemy.
Moreover, he had now lost Mazahs's Power, so he was completely useless to Superwoman. On the contrary, this newly appeared man named "Shazam" was more to her liking.
He was able to defeat Mazahs before acquiring his Power, and now that he had plundered the enemy's Power, he must be even stronger than before.
Superwoman didn't know if there was any other man on this Planet who could be stronger than him now; even the entire Crime Syndicate combined would probably be far inferior.
However, in response to Superwoman's invitation, Dane shook his head and retracted his X-ray vision.
Don't misunderstand, he activated this ability not for peeping, but to see if Superwoman was pregnant.
He had briefly checked just now and found no signs of implantation in her uterus, so it was highly likely she wasn't pregnant.
In other words, Superwoman had not yet had a secret affair with Mazahs as in the comics.
"I'm quite interested in your team, but not because I want to join you, so you don't need to waste your effort recruiting me."
Superwoman felt something was off. She said casually, "So, what do you think of us?"
Dane retorted, "Do you know what the people think of you?"
Superwoman felt increasingly uneasy. She quietly prepared for battle but still held a sliver of hope.
"Are you, perhaps, on the side of those mortals?"
"I stand on the right side."
Superwoman instantly launched into action. Her combat skills were originally trained on Earth, so fighting here, her strength was completely different from what it was on the Moon!
However, this meant nothing to Dane. He could already overpower Superwoman before, let alone now that he had also gained Mazahs's Power.
Therefore, he caught Superwoman's incoming punch with a single hand. The Impact blasted the surrounding seawater, pushing the fighter jet, which was parked on the Water, away with the surging waves.
However, Superwoman felt that the man opposite her was like an insurmountable wall. No matter how many times she threw her fists, they were all caught by those fleshy palms. If it weren't for the changing environment, she would have thought she was losing her mind.
Superwoman's eyes glowed red, and her heat vision spewed out high-energy beams. But Dane caught her heat vision with his palm before the beams hit him, then pushed it back and grabbed her face.
Compared to Dane's palm, Superwoman's face was very small, almost completely covered by his hand.
And Dane had no thoughts of tenderness at this moment. He squeezed Superwoman's head and threw her out, creating an extremely long skip across the Water, with splashes hundreds of feet high on both sides.
Falling onto the Water at such a speed was basically no different from falling directly onto concrete. Fortunately, Superwoman's body was sturdy, but even so, she was left a bit dazed.
"You should know that with your abilities, you can't defeat me." Dane remained in place, like an ancient tree rooted there, unmoving as a mountain.
"Then why don't you just kill me? You clearly have the ability."
Superwoman finished speaking and continued to charge at Dane, attacking him. But whether it was punches, kicks, or energy attacks, she even used her precious divine Power to create a small energy storm near Dane at close range.
But it still couldn't shake Dane's body. Just in terms of attack speed, the two were already on different levels.
When Superwoman was panting and still trying to attack, Dane finally grabbed her hands.
If she continued, she might become the first god in history to die of exhaustion.
"Enough, stop it."
"What's wrong, are you tired?" Superwoman gave a provocative look, which reminded Dane of Diana.
No matter which World's Wonder Woman, they all seemed to possess this spirit of never giving up.
He believed that if it were Diana, she would also fight until she collapsed. Hmm... and on another battlefield, it was the same. Dane had a deep understanding of this.
"You never intended to kill me, did you?"
Superwoman's struggles suddenly ceased. She shook her hands in Dane's palms.
"Alright, I surrender, okay?"
Dane was surprised, and simply let go of her hands.
The moment he let go, Superwoman suddenly pounced, wrapping her arms around Dane's neck.
Dane thought she was trying some kind of chokehold, but that wouldn't work on him, would it?
But he quickly realized he was wrong. Superwoman had no killing intent. Dane felt something sweet press against his lips.
He could have refused, but why?
But then he noticed Superwoman starting to take advantage, wrapping her long legs around his waist. This was getting inappropriate!
Is it progressing too fast?
