Chapter 037: The Power of Six Gods
获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第037章 六神之力
When Wang Bo found this Captain America, he was using his frail body to carry stacks of newspapers.
He was said to work at a newspaper office, but no matter how Wang Bo looked at it, he was just a handyman.
He stepped forward, standing in front of him, "Steve Rogers?"
The future Captain America looked up, saw Wang Bo's burly figure, couldn't help showing an envious expression, then nodded and said, "It's me, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Wang Bo said, "I'm here to take you home."
"Home?" Steve Rogers seemed a bit surprised and quickly said, "Did Mr. Fox send you? Has something happened to him?"
Wang Bo shook his head and said, "I'm not taking you back to Mr. Fox's home, but to another home."
"Another home?" Steve Rogers didn't think of Marvel at all and couldn't help saying, "I'm not sure what you're talking about, sir."
"You think you traveled through time to World War I, Steve Rogers," Wang Bo said bluntly.
Steve Rogers was startled.
"You're wrong, Steve Rogers. You didn't travel through time; you traveled through worlds. You came to another world, Steve Rogers, a world very similar to your original one."
Wang Bo said slowly, "It's just that this world is in the period of World War I, nothing more."
Steve Rogers stared blankly at Wang Bo, unable to speak for a moment.
Wang Bo continued, "You've been in this world long enough, Steve Rogers. That's why I came. In that world, you still have friends waiting for you, and you have unfinished missions."
"Bucky." Hearing about his friend, Steve Rogers couldn't help but utter a name.
His current best friend, the future Winter Soldier.
"That's right." Wang Bo nodded.
Steve Rogers took some time to accept Wang Bo's words, put down the heavy newspapers in his hands, looked up and asked, "When do we leave?"
"The sooner the better, of course." Wang Bo really didn't want to stay in this world any longer.
The DC world was too dangerous.
"Can I go back and say goodbye to Mr. Fox, sir?" Steve Rogers said. "Please, I just want to say goodbye to him. If I leave without saying goodbye, he will definitely worry about me."
"Of course." Wang Bo wasn't a heartless demon; this request wasn't excessive. "Let's take a taxi back now."
"Okay." Steve Rogers agreed.
So he accompanied Steve Rogers to the newspaper office to resign, then got into a car and headed to old Mr. Fox's home.
Along the way, Steve Rogers didn't speak. He didn't know what to say.
Wang Bo was silent for a moment, about to speak, when he suddenly noticed fog drifting outside the window. With a crackling sound, the windows began to ice over, yet the driver seemed oblivious, driving on as usual.
At the same time, Steve Rogers also noticed this and couldn't help looking up at Wang Bo.
"What's happening, sir?"
Wang Bo looked at this familiar scene, his lips twitching involuntarily a few times, and said slowly, "Someone is inviting us."
"Who?"
"An ancient wizard!"
As they spoke, Wang Bo noticed the car had stopped.
He pushed open the door and got out, finding the car parked at the entrance of a huge cave.
Steve Rogers followed Wang Bo out of the car, cautiously observing the surroundings, his eyes moving, and asked softly, "Sir, where is this place?"
"The Rock of Eternity," Wang Bo said.
Steve Rogers naturally didn't know what the Rock of Eternity was. He was about to ask when he saw Wang Bo wave his hand at him and say, "Follow me."
Steve Rogers nodded and followed behind Wang Bo.
The two advanced through this seemingly eerie place, entered the cave, and arrived at a place resembling a meeting room.
On one side of the meeting room stood seven eerie statues, which were the Seven Deadly Sins.
They were supervillains in the DC world, including Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.
Going further, Wang Bo saw a huge conference table with seven large stone chairs. Originally, each chair held a powerful wizard.
The seven wizards united formed the most famous Council of Eternity in the DC world.
But for various reasons, six chairs of the Council of Eternity were now empty, leaving only an aged wizard sitting on one chair, observing Wang Bo and Steve Rogers who had just entered.
Wang Bo stepped forward, nodded slightly, and said, "Salutations to you, defender of human morality, Wizard Shazam."
Yes, the last aged wizard was the most powerful Shazam.
Shazam looked at Wang Bo, nodded at him, and said, "I also salute you, guardian of humanity, favored of the sun, ally of the Amazons, great slayer of gods, Wizard Wang Bo."
Wang Bo then realized that his act of killing Ares had fallen into the eyes of this Wizard Shazam.
That was why Wang Bo felt it was too dangerous to stay in this world any longer.
Ares was also a powerful god.
By killing him, who knew how many eyes this act had fallen into.
Perhaps now all of Heaven and Hell knew that he had killed the god of war Ares. Maybe other gods knew it too.
Including Zeus.
So Wang Bo felt that this world was really too unsafe.
He was about to say something, but Shazam's gaze passed over Wang Bo and shifted to the person behind him. "Steve Rogers, you possess a shining soul and a righteous heart. Are you willing to accept my power and become the defender of humanity?"
Wang Bo then realized that Shazam had taken a liking to Steve Rogers.
What the hell...
Wang Bo admitted that with Steve Rogers' sense of justice, becoming the superhero Shazam was no problem, but making Captain America into Shazam—even comics wouldn't dare to draw that.
That was too absurd.
Steve Rogers was not dizzy from this pie falling from the sky; instead, he looked at Wang Bo.
Wang Bo said slowly, "This Wizard Shazam possesses great power. You can inherit his power, receive the blessings of the six gods, and gain the power of the six gods."
"The power of the six gods? What is that?" Steve Rogers asked.
Wang Bo said, "The wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury."
