But this World lacks such an environment; since the Golden Age passed, the fall of the Old Gods led to a decline in faith, an irreversible abyss.
Therefore, the divine power absorbed by Mazahs's Power also dwindled with the demise of the Old Gods.
Mazahs, the original wielder of Mazahs's Power, was also killed by hostile forces because his divine power was greatly diminished, and his abilities were ultimately stripped away.
However, the arrival of a new era gave Mazahs's Power an opportunity to regain vitality; the most fundamental ability of Mazahs's Power is actually 'plunder'.
Killing enemies and stripping power from their corpses is the core of Mazahs's Power.
And the super-powered individuals born in the new era also fall within the hunting range of Mazahs's Power.
Therefore, more than half of all the superpowers Dane obtained were actually acquired by Luthor after he became Zan Sha.
Dane was thinking if there was a way to take an enemy's power while he was still alive; this should create a strong deterrent for many unruly metahumans.
However, this ability is a double-edged sword; on one hand, it can deter others, but on the other hand, it might also cause fear or even greed in others, pushing those Super Villains to take extreme risks.
Dane felt that the latter possibility was greater, so it was better to be cautious and not take unnecessary risks.
But Deathstorm's ability to restructure matter was too appealing; Dane thought that if this guy didn't commit any major crimes, then so be it, but if he committed an unforgivable sin, then he shouldn't blame Dane.
"Without further ado, let's head to Yellowstone Park immediately!"
"What about Martian Manhunter then?"
Red Hood silently raised the large sniper rifle in his hand: "Why don't we just kill him?"
His big gun hadn't killed a single Syndicate leader yet! On the contrary, he had killed quite a few henchmen.
Dane looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "The cleanup crew is here."
A few seconds later, Vixen, using her enhanced hearing, heard the sound of a helicopter from the distant sky... "That one-eyed President, they've arrived!"
It took nearly an hour for the helicopter carrying Wilson and General Ross to land on the ravaged street.
By this time, the area was unrecognizable, and the surrounding hundred-mile radius looked like the United States during its early pioneering days.
Couldn't these metahumans be a little more careful with public property when they fought? Wilson had a headache.
When he brought General Ross, Waller, and others to Martian Manhunter's location, all he saw was Martian Manhunter himself, deeply unconscious and sprawled out.
There was no one else.
At this moment, a call came through to General Ross's phone; she picked it up, and Dane's voice was on the other end.
"We've found a clue about Deathstorm; he's in Yellowstone Park."
"Yellowstone!" General Ross exclaimed.
Wilson's face, however, was grim; the place he had originally planned to plant the bomb was also Yellowstone Park, a World-class geological hazard known for its Super Volcano.
But he hadn't expected the Syndicate to also think of this place; was it Owlman's idea?
As expected of the most dangerous individual in the Syndicate, Wilson had been led by the nose the entire time.
After this series of events, Wilson also understood some things, especially after Owlman's true identity was exposed; he further realized that the idea of the Quantum Ontology Bomb must have been deliberately presented to him by this man.
Owlman wasn't interested in conquering the World at all; this man from Gotham possessed the same madness and danger as Gotham itself; he wanted to destroy the entire World!
And Wilson, as the President of the United States, not only manufactured a World-destroying weapon but also delivered it into the enemy's hands; he was a goddamn idiot!
"Owlman, Owlman!" Wilson gritted his teeth, hating this man.
"Dad," General Ross looked at Wilson with some concern; his face looked terrifying.
Wilson forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, General Ross. What are they planning to do? How can we help?"
General Ross replied, "Mister Shazam hopes we temporarily seal off Yellowstone Park until they find and deal with Deathstorm."
Wilson nodded in understanding; he felt a bit conflicted, not expecting that he would ultimately have to rely on his daughter, whom he had always considered naive, to help with the aftermath.
"Waller, I'll leave this matter to you..."
Yellowstone Park.
While the Justice League was busy cleaning up Ultraman and Martian Manhunter, the three members of The Shazams had already arrived at this location with the Quantum Ontology Bomb.
As Dane had previously guessed, The Shazams couldn't figure out the detonation procedure, so they ultimately had to bring the bomb to Deathstorm.
He's not just a metahuman; he's also a scientist, so he should have some way to deal with this thing, right?
To find Deathstorm's hiding place, the three of them had clearly put in some effort to locate this area.
Upon arriving at Yellowstone Park, The Shazams didn't need to search further; Deathstorm had already seen them through the Base's surveillance, and he proactively walked out of his lair.
Deathstorm's head was a flaming skull, and his uniform was very similar to Firestorm's in the positive matter Universe.
"It's you three? What does Owlman want?"
Deathstorm knew that The Shazams would only obey Owlman's orders.
The adult Captain Shazam, who was leading them, directly said, "We need you to activate this bomb."
Deathstorm shifted his gaze to the Quantum Ontology Bomb behind the three of them; he didn't immediately understand what kind of bomb it was, and although it resembled a nuclear weapon, Deathstorm could tell it wasn't.
"But Ultraman assigned me a task..." He needed to research the problem of artificial Kryptonite, to reconfigure Earth's matter into Kryptonite, which was not easy.
But Captain Shazam reminded him: "Owlman said this matter has the highest priority!"
Deathstorm became interested: "Can't Owlman solve this problem himself?"
Even Deathstorm admitted that Owlman was a very intelligent person; if he could focus on scientific research, his achievements would certainly not be limited to this.
The Shazams did not respond to Deathstorm's question.
Deathstorm rarely paid attention to outside news when conducting research, and he had been stuck on the Kryptonite problem for a long time, becoming quite isolated.
He was completely unaware of the recent appearance of new humans in the World, the phenomena they caused, or the fall of Johnny Quick, Power Ring, and others.
And for him, nothing in this World was more important than the pursuit of scientific truth...
