As Black Adam flew out of the tomb, he saw Maksim and his armed squad, who hadn't had time to evacuate.
Feeling the sunlight, which he hadn't seen for thousands of years, shine upon him again, Black Adam felt that he had truly awakened from his slumber!
He floated silently in the air, his black robe billowing without a breeze.
An invisible pressure instantly fell upon all the armed personnel below.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but ask themselves, "Is he a god?"
Judging from the battle that had just erupted in the tomb, it was likely that all the American soldiers who entered it had already died!
Now facing Black Adam, the fear in their eyes was completely undisguised.
However, Maksim was the only exception; he was not afraid of Black Adam's presence now, but rather suppressed excitement.
His heart was screaming wildly: "There's no mistake, that slave hero born from lightning, who destroyed the rule of my ancestor, King Akton, is this guy."
Then the goal of his mission, the crown of sabbac, which possesses demonic power, must be in the tomb behind him.
"I cannot die, I must live to find the crown of sabbac and obtain the extraordinary power that even my ancestors never possessed!"
Then he had an idea, and though he felt humiliated, he immediately ordered his men to lay down their weapons and went forward alone.
Black Adam looked down at him from above, wanting to see what this human intended to do.
The next moment, Maksim looked up, slowly raised his hands above his head, and formed a triangular gesture.
This was the symbol of ancient Kahndaq, representing freedom and hope, and also the spirit of resistance that the legendary slave hero wanted to convey to all the people of Kahndaq.
Although Black Adam was the culprit who ended his ancestors' rule, in order to save his own life, he still made this gesture that insulted the bloodline in his veins.
Indeed, upon seeing this gesture, Black Adam's stern face softened slightly.
The image of his son reappeared in his mind.
Immediately, he merely glanced at everyone present before flying towards Kahndaq, not killing them again.
Watching Black Adam's disappearing figure, Maksim finally lowered his hands, but a deep hatred welled up in his eyes.
He swore a vicious oath in his heart: "You slave who devoured your master, when I control demonic power, I will make you repay tenfold."
At this moment, his surviving subordinates, covered in cold sweat, walked up to him and asked, "Sir, who was that man? He was terrifying!"
"A fellow who should have been buried in the dust of history long ago. Now, follow me back into the tomb."
After speaking, Maksim picked up the weapon he had just discarded and strode back.
As they reached the entrance of the tomb, they happened to encounter Edmund coming out from inside.
Seeing this, Maksim immediately ordered his subordinates, "There's still a survivor, seize him!"
Edmund was instantly dumbfounded, originally thinking Black Adam was the greatest danger, but unexpectedly there was still such a group of people outside!
Looking at the dark muzzles pressed against him, he nervously said, "Don't hurt me, I'm a researcher hired by the American government."
The next moment, someone snatched the crude package from his hand.
Upon opening it, the true form of the crown of sabbac was revealed.
Maksim stepped forward, pushed his subordinate aside, and carefully picked up the crown; the inscriptions on it suddenly emitted a faint blue light.
"Life leads to death, and death also means rebirth. Yes, this is the crown containing demonic power, forged by my ancestor King Akton. I've finally found it!"
At this moment, Maksim's entire body trembled with excitement.
He slowly placed the crown on his head.
Just then, Edmund suddenly struggled and shouted loudly, "No, you can't wear it!"
But under the restraint of two fully armed men, he was powerless to stop it from happening.
Just as Maksim was imagining himself about to gain demonic power and wreak havoc, a gunshot exploded behind him, and a bloody hole instantly appeared in his head.
The other people around him didn't seem surprised by this at all.
Then, one person behind him calmly put away his gun and spoke into his communicator: "Target eliminated, recovering the crown of sabbac."
"Well done, Petrov. Now bring back that crown, and you will earn the qualification to join the Red Rockets."
Hearing the words from the other side, Petrov's face showed a hint of excitement, and his body involuntarily straightened a few inches: "Yes, sir!"
The events that transpired in such a short time left Edmund completely bewildered. What was going on?
Then he heard someone point at him and ask Petrov, "Captain, what should we do with this man?"
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Take him back with us. He's a professional talent hired by the American government; perhaps he has other value."
Meanwhile, Diana was alone, repairing a six-hundred-year-old artifact, when she suddenly seemed to sense something.
The next moment, her mind was abruptly pulled to an unknown place, and then the ancient Wizard Shazam appeared before her.
"Greetings, esteemed Daughter of the God-King, Amazonian Valkyrie from Paradise Island, Diana Prince. Wizard Shazam offers you his respect."
"It is presumptuous to meet you in this manner, but I bear another mission and cannot leave the confines of the Rock of Eternity. Please forgive me."
Sensing that the old wizard before her possessed divine power similar to her own, Diana instantly understood that he too was someone who had received the blessings of the gods.
Therefore, she did not dwell on his somewhat impolite behavior.
However, she seemed to have heard the name Wizard Shazam somewhere before.
So she asked, "May I ask why you sought me out?"
Shazam knew that this matter could not be explained in a few words, so he spoke with a pleading tone: "Could I please have some time to tell you about this matter?"
"Please speak!"
Diana naturally would not refuse; judging from the divine power of the other party, he was someone trusted by the gods.
Next, Shazam began to recount his origins with Black Adam, and the grievances that followed.
"So, now that the villain who also inherited the power of the gods has awakened from his seal, you want me to stop him?"
Upon hearing this, Diana finally understood the other party's purpose.
"Yes, in this current world, perhaps you are the only one who can defeat him. Please agree."
Diana did not fully believe the other party's words, but instead said, "I will personally go and verify the specific situation with him. If he commits evil again, I will defeat him."
"Thank you!"
Shazam thanked her and then disappeared, and Diana returned to reality.
