Chapter 678: Add Points to Become a God (Wish You All a Merry Christmas, Time Flies)
"Let me be frank, I don't like Harley Quinn's abilities and I'm not willing to sign a shazam contract with her." Old Shazam was very straightforward.
"Signing a contract with her and not selecting her to join the current Shazam group, or even letting her become 'H' forever, will have no impact on you or Thunder Shazam." Nabu said.
Old Shazam stared at him for a long time, and said from his mind: "Naboo, you are not a warm-hearted good man. What do you want to do with your persistence today?"
"I want to know the secret of Harley Quinn's power." Naboo was also very straightforward.
"Did you convince the Stranger? Harley Quinn came to him probably to check the terms of the contract. I can't deceive him." Old Shazam asked.
Nabu said: "The Stranger won't help us, you don't have to tamper with the terms. I didn't want to steal Harley Quinn's power, I just doubted her power."
"What suspicion do you have?" Old Shazam asked curiously.
"There are too many things about her that are questionable. For example, this time she is a 'hard martial arts god'. Neither you nor Stranger noticed anything unusual about her. Don't you think it's strange?"
"It's normal for Stranger and I to be inferior to you. You have penetrated deeply into the sea of laws, surpassed the ordinary laws, and started to formulate new rules." Old Shazam said with envy and respect.
Naboo glanced at Harley and Stranger, both of whom noticed that he and Shazam were communicating spiritually.
He was determined to put an end to this unfriendly and easily arousing way of communication, so he said directly: "Adding her to the shazam list will do no harm to you, but it will give you a chance to analyze the origin of her power."
"Alas, the loopholes in the laws have been closed long ago," Old Shazam ignored Naboo's attention and continued to talk in his mind, "The magic of the singularity to become a god means to discover the loopholes in the laws and then use new laws to plug the loopholes.
I used to be able to use the shazam spell to borrow divine power without any side effects. While using the divine power of the gods, I also understood the secrets of the laws in the divine power.
Now that the shazam curse has changed, even I have been greatly restricted. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many gods signing shazam contracts with me. "
"At least you can analyze the basic attributes of Harley Quinn's supernatural power, right?"
"Of course, if you don't even know what the attributes are, how can you combine them to form the strongest shazam?" Old Shazam said matter-of-factly.
If you do not understand the attributes of divine power, it is likely that the attributes of the six gods in shazam will be repeated.
For example, if you choose three gods of wisdom but no god of strength, Thunder Shazam's intelligence will not increase much, but his strength will be weakened to that of an ordinary person.
"It's enough to understand the basic attributes of her power." Nabu said.
"What's the use of knowing the attributes? You can easily understand her power attributes by asking her directly or observing her fighting." Old Shazam asked puzzled.
"Just because I have been observing her, I have a lot of doubts in my mind. For example, when the Green Lantern Corps imprisoned her in the central energy battery, Green Lantern suffered from digestive defects, will defects, and magic resistance defects.
This shows that Harley Quinn has law-level expertise in digestion, willpower, and magic resistance.
During the battle with the Green Lantern Corps, she easily shattered the Green Lantern energy manifestation, and even the Green Lantern energy of the Guardians of the Universe became unstable.
This is another peculiarity.
There is also the yellow light energy in her body. The Parallax monster has been extracted long ago. Why hasn't she shown signs of energy exhaustion?
I guess that the yellow light energy in her body is not only decreasing but not increasing."
Old Shazam suddenly realized, "You suspect that her strength attribute is not just for defense, and that defense may even be a cover."
"That's right."
"Is Harley Quinn worthy of your attention?" Old Shazam asked again doubtfully.
"She is 'Witch Harley'. Considering what she has done, it would be abnormal for me not to pay attention to it."
Old Shazam was speechless.
Old Shazam looked at Harley and said, "Dr. Destiny and I communicated in the spiritual space for a while, and he convinced me.
Before signing the contract, I will first explain the rights and obligations of both parties.
Shazam contracts can add a lock and open a window to your power. Outsiders can use your power, but they cannot crack your secrets.
Whether you join the shazam set or not, the lock that protects the secret of your power remains.
This is one of the benefits you get.
After signing the contract, you are also obligated. When I decide to let you become the 'H' in shazam, you can't refuse.
Of course, this is not a problem for you. I can’t let you become ‘H’. "
"It seems that the benefits obviously outweigh the obligations. If the initials of the gods' real names are in shazam, wouldn't they cry and ask you to sign a contract?" Harley asked doubtfully.
"You think they don't have them?" Old Shazam smiled proudly, thunder and lightning flashed, and an old parchment scroll appeared in front of her.
In addition to the terms of the shazam contract, there are also the signatures of dozens of gods.
The names are written in different ways, but they all sparkle with power.
"Who is this Zonuz?" Harley was soon attracted by the unfamiliar god's name in the "Z" column, "His divine power seems to be stronger than Zeus, why have I never heard of this person? "
"You have good eyesight," Old Shazam glanced at her in surprise, "Zonos is the strongest new god, and should be on par with God King Zeus.
But now is the era of new gods, the glory of the old gods is no longer there, and Zeus may be weaker than Zonos. "
"Isn't Darkseid the most powerful new god?"
Old Shazam said: "Darkseid didn't come out of a crack in the stone. He has parents. Zonos is Yuga Khan, Darkseid's father.
Now you understand the value of this contract, right?
Being on par with these great gods is an honor worth bragging about for a lifetime."
"I don't know Zonos, but I know Darkseid's father Yuga Khan, a poor guy hanging on the Origin Wall and unable to get down.
He wants to be on par with me, but I don't want to stay on the wall for a long time." Harley said lightly.
"Don't think it's great to come down from the Origin Wall." After saying this, Old Shazam himself felt embarrassed, "Well, you didn't come down by your own ability, so you have no right to be proud."
"What am I proud of? Isn't it just coming down from the Origin Wall? I go up and down, and then go up and down again. It's easier than eating and drinking water. How can I be proud of it?" Harley said in a flat tone.
Old Shazam was choked and speechless, and could only blow his beard and stare.
"The contract is fine." Stranger withdrew his eyes from the parchment and nodded to Harley.
"Do you think I should sign it?" Harley hesitated when it came to the end.
"For you, it's okay to sign or not." Stranger said slowly: "Whether it is the Shazam contract or lending power to Wonder Woman, it is one of the ways of cultivation for the gods.
The realm and strength of the gods have not changed for thousands or tens of thousands of years. They will seek all ways to make themselves go further.
You haven't encountered a bottleneck in cultivation yet. Your strength and realm are steadily improving. Just follow the current path.
If you want to broaden your horizons and learn about other methods of cultivation, it doesn't matter."
Harley sighed in her heart. In fact, she had encountered a bottleneck a long time ago.
Before level 80, it was already extremely difficult to upgrade one level. After level 80, she didn't know who to find to quickly upgrade.
Earth superheroes, super criminals, and underwater people have all been rubbed.
Her upgrade trend will definitely not stop, but the speed will undoubtedly be much slower.
Defense upgrade is no longer her main means of improving her actual combat ability.
But the defensive specialty of the evolution treasure is her foundation.
She can't just throw it aside and look for other ways to improve her strength just because it has been fully upgraded.
In this way, studying the path of "thick-skinned martial god" related to defense upgrade seems to be a better choice for her at this stage-if the rules of the gods in the DC universe also apply to her "adding points to become a god".
"Are you still hesitating?" Old Shazam was about to sneer, but Harley had already pressed her thumb at the end of the scroll and wrote her own name behind an unknown god's name starting with the letter "H".
Without biting her finger deliberately, she accurately controlled the blood to seep out through her pores, and her thumb was like a brush with endless ink, writing her real name with the most concentrated blood power.
"Huh--" Old Shazam looked at the bloody name flashing a golden-red glow, slowly turning into a dim black, and couldn't help but shouting in surprise, looking at Harley strangely and said: "I didn't expect you to really become a god, and the law of divine power resonance is still very powerful."
There are dozens of god names, and the strength of the gods can be inferred by the aura emitted from the names.
To Shazam's surprise, Harley's aura was not the weakest, and could even be ranked above average.
This shocked him.
"Mortals cannot sign?" Harley asked.
"The Shazam contract is actually a law, a law I use to patch up loopholes in the rules of the universe. If you want to write your name on it, you must resonate with the sea of laws.
It's like meeting the king, at least getting the qualification to enter the king's residence." Shazam's tone was less contemptuous, and his eyes were more respectful.
Then he asked again: "How do you feel now?"
"Hmm" Harley squinted, and all her thoughts were focused, carefully sensing the changes in her body, "A heat flow descended from the sky, flowing into the heart along the limbs, and then flowing back from the heart to all parts of the body.
It seems that as long as someone shouts "Shazam", the blood power in my body will boil, and I will be wrapped by that heat flow and rush out of the sky cover and enter the unknown area."
"You wish, you are not in the Shazam sequence at all." Shazam sneered.
"Is it an illusion?" Harley frowned.
She really felt that she was connected to a pipeline and it was easy to lend out her power.
"It's an illusion, but it's not an illusion." Old Shazam thought for a while and said, "The spell that triggers the loss of power in your body is definitely not 'Shazam', but it can be something else.
For example, if someone shouts 'Harley Quinn', your power will immediately cross the void and pour into his body."
"Like the War Eagle and the White Dove? Why do they shout 'War Eagle' instead of the real name of the god behind the War Eagle?" Harley asked.
"Shazam is not my real name either. Except for those old gods who are famous and gain faith, who would take out their real name for mortals to shout publicly?" Old Shazam said disapprovingly.
"Alas, I'm too famous, and the gods and demons in the sky will never forget me. I can't change my vest." Harley lamented.
"Don't think too much. You haven't learned the 'Shazam God's Spell' yet, so you can't lend your power to mortals." Old Shazam said.
"Is it the spell used by the gods behind the war eagle and the white dove? Can you teach me?" Harley asked expectantly.
"The spell of the gods needs magic to drive it. Come to me when you have magic."
"Have you figured out the law that resonates with you now?" Nabu asked, staring at her with a burning gaze.
Harley nodded gently.
After communicating with the sea of laws through the Shazam contract, a kind of enlightenment came to her mind.
She was right, it was really "adding points to become a god".
When she increased her body's defense to 80 points by adding points, the universe "mistakenly thought" that this was a kind of practice.
When a certain skill is practiced to the extreme, it becomes a god.
She became the first "adding points god" in DC.
