Anthea quickly became good friends with Mary; it was her first time meeting a "peer."
However, during their interaction and conversation, Mary clearly felt that Anthea and her two sisters were a bit different.
First, they lacked common sense; they didn't even know what a phone was, making Mary suspect they were ancient people from somewhere.
Anthea cautiously picked up the phone, clumsily tapping the icons with her finger.
That was the Kuaishou APP icon; Mary's ID was "Wonder Mary."
Anthea gasped softly when the pop-up appeared, as if she had seen something incredible.
"magic!"
"No, this isn't magic; this is technology."
Mary heard her words and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, then asked doubtfully: "Who exactly are you, and why don't you even know something like this?"
The three sisters exchanged glances. Anthea stammered a bit, her brain quickly working, as if fabricating something.
But Hespera and Calypso had fewer reservations, especially the eldest sister, Hespera, who directly puffed out her chest and lifted her head.
"We are gods, true gods!"
Mary gave a surprised look, which gave Anthea a headache.
Gods had been absent from this land for a very long time; if Hespera and Calypso spoke like this, they would likely be taken for lunatics by humans.
But Mary's reaction greatly surprised her.
"Really? You're gods? Do you have any special abilities or anything?"
She actually believed them! 490
Calypso suddenly laughed: "I like her."
"Don't you have any doubts about this?" Anthea was a bit puzzled.
But Mary said: "Because I've seen gods, not just me, we all have."
The Three Goddesses all tensed at once, exchanged glances, and then asked gravely: "Who?"
"You don't know yet?"
Mary took back her phone, casually opened the Super Hero channel, where the superhero rankings were neatly listed.
And in Mary's private channel, among the "God" category heroes, Shazam was ranked first.
She handed the phone back to Anthea.
"Look, the superheroes listed here are the known gods in the World right now."
Calypso snatched the phone from Anthea's hand, took a quick look, and indeed, several names were listed.
In order: Shazam, Wonder Woman, Gabriel, Doctor Fate. Among them, Shazam was highly praised in comments as the King of the Gods... Calypso squeezed her hand, crushing the phone.
"Outrageous!"
"Hey! That's my phone!" Mary complained.
But Calypso quickly fixed her gaze on her.
"You! That Shazam is clearly a thief, a shameless Bandit! And you actually worship him as a god!"
Mary now felt something was amiss. Could these three so-called "gods" have a grudge against Shazam?
She quietly moved her body backward, ready to run at any moment.
"Even if you say that, it's not just me who thinks so."
"In fact, many people have already begun to believe in him. Greece is even preparing a marble statue for him, and they are also considering building him a temple."
At this, even Hespera's face turned ugly. The Greeks were their loyal followers back then; had even they betrayed them?
"Traitors! Humans must pay for their ignorance and blasphemy!"
Well, as soon as these words were uttered, Mary immediately confirmed that these three women who called themselves "gods" were undoubtedly villains.
She immediately turned and ran.
Anthea looked at her sisters with a blaming gaze. Didn't they know what it meant to be low-key?
Hadn't they agreed to act cautiously?
"Anthea, don't just stand there, quickly catch that girl!"
Anthea still couldn't refuse her sisters' command, so she had to use her abilities.
With the magical support of "lust," she was now able to use her innate abilities.
This was equivalent to a new energy vehicle with a dead battery finally getting charged and able to run.
Anthea extended her hands, and divine runes lit up in her palms.
With her as the center, the surrounding ground and buildings began to rotate and reorganize. Mary hadn't run far when she suddenly found her front had become the position where Anthea and the others were.
She quickly turned backward, but after a few steps, she again ran towards the direction of the Three Goddesses.
After several such attempts, she finally understood that it was impossible for her to escape Anthea, so she could only give up this futile effort, at least to conserve some energy.
Anthea's Axis Force allowed her to manipulate the surrounding spatial orientation from her own center, reorganizing it in any way she desired.
After Mary gave up running, she was quickly pulled back to Anthea's position.
Hespera grabbed Mary by the neck and lifted her high.
"You seem to know a lot about Shazam?"
Anthea quickly stepped forward to dissuade her: "Sister, don't do this. Let me handle it; I can make her talk."
Hespera stared at her for a while. After all, she was her closest sister, and she didn't want to lose face, so she loosened her grip and let go of Mary.
Anthea breathed a sigh of relief and quickly helped Mary up.
Unexpectedly, Mary pushed her hand away, refusing physical contact with her.
"Who exactly are you? What do you want?"
Anthea withdrew her hand, saying with some guilt: "We are the daughters of Atlas. We came out this time to rebuild our home."
"And revenge!" Calypso added fiercely from the side.
"Your home?" Mary tried to get more information.
Anthea continued: "Our home is the Divine Realm, the place where the gods once lived."
Mary immediately reacted: "Mount Olympus?"
"No! That's where Zeus lived. We lived in our father's domain, where the Tree of Life was once rooted, and that damned Witch, he ruined everything!"
Calypso was furious as she spoke.
Anthea, to dispel Mary's hostility towards them, made a guarantee:
"Mary, we just want to rebuild our home; we absolutely have no intention of seeking revenge on anyone. Sister Calypso is just too angry; she's actually a good person."
"Hmph!" Calypso turned her head away.
But Mary was even more confused: "If you just want to rebuild your home, why don't you seek help from Shazam and them? I believe he would be willing to help you."
"You are too naive, human. Shazam's power was stolen from us. How could he possibly help us?"
Hearing this, Mary was immediately displeased. You don't even know who Shazam is, so why are you so sure?
Anthea noticed her aversion and suddenly had an idea, changing her approach.
"So, if we want to ask Shazam for help, what should we do?"
This question stumped Mary. Shazam usually only appears during urgent disaster events, not as an on-call hero.
However, if she tagged the Justice League's official account, maybe he would see it.
Mary silently looked at the phone, which had already shattered into a pile of debris.
Anthea followed her gaze, Hespera also followed her gaze, Calypso looked over, then averted her eyes.
"Besides this, is there no other way?" Hespera frowned.
Actually, there was. Mary had never told anyone, but she actually had a way to summon Shazam, she just had never tried it.
These years, she had actually lived very safely; even the demon incident a while ago had perfectly avoided her.
Hespera, being who she was, immediately saw that this human girl was hiding something and quickly gave Calypso a look.
Calypso's lips curled slightly. She leaned close to Mary and whispered in her ear: "Tell us."
Instantly, a surge of magic invaded Mary's body, beginning to affect her consciousness.
"Tell us, the way to find Shazam."
Mary slightly parted her lips, and just as she uttered a syllable, "Sha," she covered her mouth, forcing herself to stay conscious.
Calypso frowned; her magic should not be resisted by a mere human.
"Her will is very strong," Anthea couldn't help but exclaim, then pleaded: "Sister, let her go..."
Just then, "Pride" whispered in Hespera's ear.
"Your Highness, you can actually turn this girl into one of us. Then, what she knows will be what we know."
Hespera silently took out four small statues, her gaze on Mary flickering..
