The Old Wizard eventually left. He walked into the Tree of Life, following the direction of its roots to another World.
From beginning to end, he never mentioned Black Adam, as if he tacitly assumed Dane could handle the matter.
And Dane also didn't mention his plans for Black Adam. The two parted naturally. After this farewell, who knew when they would meet again.
Dane admired Atlas Mountains. This place should be able to become his new Base.
It wasn't difficult to take residence here; he already possessed Atlas's endurance, so he wouldn't be rejected by the temple.
He waved his hand, and repair magic activated.
The damaged temples were restored, including the stone pillars and statues eroded by time, which were also repaired by the magic.
"Hmm, it looks much better now." Dane nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, a group of "bronze men" resembling upright apes walked out of the temple.
They were living beings, and because they relied less on magic, they were captured by the Three Goddesses to serve as divine servants and laborers.
When Shazam and the dragon Ladon were fighting earlier, they were hiding beneath the temple, trembling, and only dared to come out now that the dust had settled.
As soon as these bronze gorillas reached Dane, they all knelt down with a "thud," as if anointing Dane as their new Master.
This was not surprising. Although their reliance on magic was not high, these creatures still had magical sensitivity and could sense the divine power on Dane.
"Get up, and bring that woman behind you." Dane said as he walked past them.
These bronze gorillas could understand human speech, so two of them quickly followed Dane's instructions, carried Calypso, and brought her into the temple... Northern Arctic, Deep Water Prison.
Hespera arrived here, guided by the Sins. This was Checkmate's secret Base for detaining A-level and above supercriminals.
Thousands of years ago, when Teth-Adam caused chaos in Kahndaq, the seven deadly sins had placed a magic mark on him.
They knew that one day they would need it.
Hespera floated on the black ocean: "Are you sure this is the place?"
She saw no man-made structures. Here, there was nothing but black Water and White snow mountains; it was desolate for miles around.
"There's no mistake, Teth-Adam is underwater." The Sins' tone was very certain.
"It better be." Hespera's tone was unfriendly.
She chanted an incomprehensible spell, and with a parting of her hands, the seawater immediately separated to the left and right, like a book being opened.
The Water body was moved, immediately exposing a huge man-made structure built underwater.
"Incredible, mere humans can create such a miracle!" Hespera exclaimed.
"He's right there! We can feel it, very strongly!"
Hearing this, Hespera immediately swooped down and flew into the underwater prison.
As soon as Hespera parted the Water body, the Deep Water Prison had already received an alarm.
"Alarm! Supernatural phenomenon in Sector B13!"
"Put the image on screen!"
The external surveillance footage was playing on the main control room's screen.
"Holy. Shit!"
"What in the World did this?"
Soon, someone spotted a figure in the footage and shouted, "There! That's a person!"
From the magnified image, the administrator quickly saw Hespera and realized she had already infiltrated the prison.
Flying, capable of parting the Water out of thin air, and wearing ancient Greek armor, the first thing he thought of was Wonder Woman.
Could this person be similar to Wonder Woman? If so, they wouldn't be able to defeat her! But Wonder Woman doesn't seem to part the Water out of thin air.
"Quick, contact the Justice Society! Request Doctor Fate to come!"
If it really was a God, then only a God's power could defeat her!
Following the Sin's senses, Hespera soon arrived at the Water cell where Teth-Adam was imprisoned; tubes were inserted into his mouth, and his body was in a dormant state.
"How pathetic, for an inheritor of divine power to be imprisoned here by a group of humans."
Hespera pointed a finger, and the glass cage holding Teth-Adam shattered, and Adam and the Water surrounding him leaked out together.
As soon as Adam came out, his consciousness immediately returned. He suddenly opened his eyes and pulled the things out of his mouth.
That thing was connected to a long tube, almost making him cough up his lung fluid.
"Cough, cough—!"
He looked up, certain he had never seen the woman in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"I am Hespera, daughter of the Titan God Atlas. Teth-Adam, I saved you, and you should pledge allegiance to me. Come with me."
"You cannot go anywhere!"
At this moment, the fully armed special team finally arrived.
"Madam, this is a classified area. Please raise your hands, put them behind your head, and lie down."
Hespera laughed angrily, "Humans, I admire your courage, but I dislike your rudeness."
She hooked her finger, and an invisible force field pulled the special forces soldier who had just spoken directly in front of her.
"Perhaps you humans have forgotten the proper attitude towards Gods, but it doesn't matter, I will re-educate you."
As she spoke, the special forces soldier suddenly went weak in the knees and knelt before her.
"This is the proper etiquette for you humans when meeting a God."
"Everyone! Open Fire!"
Seeing this, the other special forces members immediately pulled their triggers. The flashes of gunfire and the sound of bullets leaving their chambers merged into one. The bullets struck Hespera's armor, face, hands, and limbs.
But besides sparks, there was no effect whatsoever.
"Interesting little toys."
With the power of the five Sin, Hespera was now completely fearless of human hot weapons.
She opened her palm towards those who were shooting. In an instant, everyone's bodies involuntarily rose, moving with Hespera's actions.
Hespera smiled cruelly, and as she closed her palm, the bodies of the six special forces members were instantly compressed into a bloody mixture by a powerful force field.

Human limbs were as fragile as insects in her palm.
But just as she killed those special forces soldiers, a golden light illuminated the surroundings, and Doctor Fate stepped out from the golden light.
He immediately saw through Hespera's identity.
"Hespera, daughter of Atlas, you should not remain in the Human World!"
Hespera glanced at him, surprised, "I cannot tell which God you are, but you have the scent of a pagan God about you."
She was referring to the Egyptian Gods.
Doctor Fate's abilities are related to certain Egyptian Gods, and a considerable portion of his artifacts are made of N Metal, so his connection with the Egyptian pantheon is very deep.
This is also one of the reasons why his relationship with Hawkman is so good.
"However, this is not your concern."
"If you disrupt the proper order of this World, then this becomes my concern."
"Ah ~ so you are that type of God."
Hespera nodded, and then the power of nature suddenly activated, compressing and igniting the atmosphere, blasting Doctor Fate away.
But he quickly stood up; this small attack could not harm him.
"Since you choose to resist, then come."
Doctor Fate's body flashed with golden light and disappeared from his original position.
Hespera immediately became vigilant; she knew the opponent would never leave just like that.
"Be careful!"
The Sin's warning came a step too late. From the void, a golden magic beam struck Hespera, throwing her body high into the air.
As Hespera stabilized in the air, another golden light flew from her blind spot, striking her once again.
After being hit several times in a row, Hespera couldn't even touch the Shadow of her opponent.
She was furious at this despicable tactic. She channeled the power of nature with both hands, setting up a blue barrier around herself, intercepting all incoming golden lights.
She accumulated some magic, then reversed the barrier and suddenly expanded it.
This wide-area attack immediately forced the Doctor Fate, hidden in the shadows, out of his phantom state.
"Got you!"
Hespera's gaze sharpened as she stared at him. In ancient times, she was also a Valkyrie who had followed her father, Atlas, into battle, with considerable combat experience.
She saw Doctor Fate temporarily frozen, and instantly raised her hand. Countless spikes of earth immediately grew from the ground, piercing Doctor Fate's body.
Although unable to harm him, it successfully put Doctor Fate in a predicament where he was overwhelmed.
Hespera, meanwhile, seized the opportunity to draw a Golden Dagger from her embrace and fiercely stabbed at a position Doctor Fate couldn't see.
However, Doctor Fate's danger premonition acted in time. He dodged sideways, avoiding a direct attack, but a small wound was cut on his waist by the Golden Dagger.
This wound was not a major issue, but the toxins attached to the blade were what troubled Doctor Fate the most.
"This poison is made from the most defiled things in this World, unknown God, I hope you can survive this poison."
Hespera sneered and knocked Doctor Fate flying.
