Chapter 224 - Chapter 223: Pitiful, Weak, and Helpless

Only four of the seven deadly sins currently lacked hosts: Wrath, Sloth, Greed, and Gluttony.

Since Calypso's ability couldn't make this human girl speak, Hespera wasn't entirely inflexible. She ultimately chose Sloth; at least this one would be less harmful.

"Anthea, move aside."

Anthea stood in front of Mary, "Sister, what are you going to do?"

Hespera showed an expression of displeasure, "Anthea, everything I do is for our cause!"

But Anthea glanced at Mary, still suppressing her fear, and stood firmly in front of Hespera.

"For a human, you would defy your sister?" If Hespera had only been a little displeased just now, she was furious now.

From the moment Anthea and Mary met until they knew each other, had it been two hours at most? Don't be too ridiculous, alright?

Hespera immediately raised her hand, and the Axis Force was held in her grip. Anthea instantly felt her body freeze, unable to move.

"Perhaps I should make you recall properly, who am I?"

Hespera, also known as "Hesperides" in the Greek pantheon, is the eldest daughter of the Titan god Atlas, and thus possesses Titan blood herself.

Her special ability is to control the Axis Force, which also refers to elemental forces, meaning the power of natural elements such as wind, rain, thunder, Fire, and Water.

It can be said to be the embodiment of material power, so she is also the strongest of the Three Goddesses; to contend with her is to contend with nature itself.

Now with the powerful magic support of "Pride," Hespera had recovered some of her past strength.

After freezing Anthea, she pointed her hand to the side, and Anthea's body was pulled by an invisible force field, flying to one side.

After Anthea was moved, Mary, who was hiding behind her, was revealed. She looked at Hespera with some terror.

"Don't worry, child." Hespera gently stroked Mary's delicate face, "This will be the best gift you ever receive."

She crushed the small stone statue in her hand, and Sloth transformed into a ball of glowing gas, slowly crawling onto Mary's body.

The seven deadly sins had just discovered that Mary actually possessed magic talent!

If she had been born into a family with a legacy, she might have even become a Witch.

Therefore, she was very suitable for the seven deadly sins to possess.

Sloth invaded Mary's body through her pores, and magic surged through her, bringing her immense pain.

That evil magic entered her subcutaneous tissue, like an air-filled syringe directly injected into her body.

Mary's face instantly contorted, and her limbs twitched unnaturally.

But just as Sloth was about to act on Mary's brain, she suddenly opened her eyes, and blue magic light flickered in them.

A deep-seated memory was re-examined.

If you encounter danger, call my name.

Mary, almost at her limit, couldn't help but utter, "Shazam!"

Thousands of miles away, Dane immediately felt the call. He could sense that the magic he had left for Mary in her dream was at work.

He immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing in a flash.

At the same time, a sudden peal of thunder echoed in the skies of Philadelphia. The Three Goddesses simultaneously sensed a divine power descending and quickly looked up at the sky.

With a loud boom, lightning descended from the sky, striking where Mary was.

Sloth shrieked and detached from Mary's body.

It turned into a puff of smoke, screaming as it fled, "It's him! It's him! He's here!"

Sloth was still in an intangible state at this time, so it could only lunge at the nearest Hespera.

Perhaps sensing Dane's threat, or perhaps having a similar idea already, Hespera did not refuse it. Instead, she actively stepped forward to embrace it, finally merging with Sloth.

The power of two Sins made her strength swell again. She felt confident she could deal with the approaching opponent.

A moment later, the smoke dispersed, and a towering giant in a White hood stood before the Three Goddesses, holding the unconscious Mary in his arms.

"You are, Shazam?"

Dane glanced at Mary and did not answer Hespera, which displeased her greatly.

"I'm talking to you!"

Dane seemed to notice her only then, but he still didn't look at her directly. Instead, he raised a hand, and a thick bolt of lightning shot out.

Hespera reacted very quickly, immediately using Axis Force to defend.

However, she had not expected this lightning bolt to be so domineering, so irresistible!

The lightning pierced through the shield formed by the Axis Force like a hot knife through butter, directly striking Hespera. The sound of the lightning strike was like a massive explosion, blasting her away.

Hespera's body flew out like a torn rag sack, smashing through several buildings, and finally falling into the ruins.

The surrounding citizens screamed, craning their necks to try and see what happened.

Calypso was greatly alarmed and immediately activated her ability. Chaos Magic transformed into a black mist and spread out. Anyone who came into contact with the black mist had their eyes flash and lost their self-awareness.

Kill him!

Calypso pointed at Dane and roared.

However, how could mortals harm a god?

Dane didn't even move; the electric arcs emanating from his body simply shocked the attacking people, sending them sprawling.

However, at this moment, Calypso had already merged with the surrounding black mist, and her voice began to echo clearly in Dane's ears.

Lay down your hostility, submit to me.

Calypso, master of Chaos Magic.

That being said, this power was more often demonstrated in making others obey her will.

Rather than Chaos Magic, it was more like charm magic, similar to the path taken by the little Witch in Dane's room.

Could such a petty trick control Dane?

Unless you're as obedient as the Witch, willing to do any position!

Dane reached into the smoke with one hand, gripping a slender neck between his fingers. Calypso was reluctantly pulled out of the black mist by him.

The electric arcs on Dane's body also turned into whips of electricity, lashing Calypso and making her shriek repeatedly.

She gripped Dane's hand tightly, trying to pry his fingers open. As a daughter of the Titans, she should, in theory, be unbeatable by humans in terms of strength.

However, Dane was Shazam, with two divine systems stacked. In his normal state, even Superman wouldn't dare claim he could definitely win against him. Calypso's strength was like a gnat trying to shake a tree to him, not worth mentioning.

Seeing both her sisters defeated, Anthea also activated the Axis Force.

Dane immediately noticed the surrounding space beginning to rotate and shift. He stood still, but the distant buildings rapidly crashed towards him.

That's right, the buildings were crashing towards him!

Fearing to harm Mary, Dane loosened his grip, and a bolt of lightning struck Calypso, sending her flying. He brought his arms together, completely shielding Mary's small body, and took the building's impact directly on his back.

Under the crushing force of steel and concrete, a deep gash was carved into the building, but Dane and Mary in his arms were completely unharmed.

He temporarily teleported Mary to the Witch, entrusting her care.

Then he looked up at Anthea, who had shifted her position to a distance, and suddenly rose into the air, rapidly approaching her at supersonic speed.

In her terror, Anthea could only constantly use her ability to shift the surrounding buildings, attempting to use them to block Dane's movements.

But he was like an indestructible warhead, passing directly through those buildings, which was no harder than passing through tofu.

Mercury's divine speed plus Horus's speed added a super-speed booster to his already extremely high speed. In the blink of an eye, Dane landed in front of Anthea.

Seeing Anthea about to use her old trick again, he stomped his foot hard on the ground. Countless cracks rapidly spread out from his foot, directly shattering the ground beneath Anthea, making her lose her footing.

Dane flung something from his hand, and Anthea suddenly felt something in her hands. She raised her hands to look and found a pair of handcuffs glowing with blue magic light.

These were magic-suppressing shackles.

Anthea could no longer sense her magic. lust also suddenly discovered that Anthea's body had become its new prison; it couldn't get out, and thus grew anxious.

"This is a magic-sealing artifact! Your Highness Anthea, we must escape from here quickly!"

Anthea gave a bitter laugh, looking up with despair in her eyes at the man who was looking down at her.

"We can't escape, we can't escape..."

After losing all her power, Anthea lost the will to resist.
