N-A-A Chapter 143 Conquering The Spirit Of Khandak
Chapter 143 Conquering The Spirit Of Khandak
"Kandak, are you finally willing to see me?" Dane nodded and smiled at her.
But the spirit of Khandak is still expressionless. She seems to be different from Angelis, not the type who is very close to humans.
"You trapped me in this dream, didn't you just want me to show up?"
Dane found a seat and sat down like a true king.
"Kandak, you should be able to see the efforts I have been making for this city, and you should also know what I want."
"Eternal metal?" she whispered.
Dane nodded: "That's just one aspect. I need a base where I can feel completely at ease. You have been in contact with the Necromancer Council before, so it should be easy to understand.
"But you already have the Rock of Eternity." She said calmly.
"That place is not suitable for a large number of people to settle in, and it can easily cause some dangers. I need a city that exists in reality.
The spirit of Khandak closed his eyes: "Does it have to be me-?"
"I am a magical creature, Khandak, and there is no city in the real world that is more suitable for me than you."
Khandak was lost in thought.
There was only helplessness in her heart. If she could, she really didn't want to give in.
Khandak, like her people, is a place that pursues freedom. However, in reality, this country cannot be called free most of the time, and is always enslaved by various people.
It used to be the devil-worshiping King Acton, but now it's the International Gang.
However, Kandak knew very well that the people who are now in charge of the International Gang are the descendants of Acton, and they are still working for the unfinished business of their ancestors thousands of years ago.
The fate of this thousand years finally came back to the Acton bloodline.
In fact, it makes sense that Dane's support for the rebels in recent years has delayed the development of the International Gang to a certain extent.
This leaves no time for Ismail, the man behind the scenes, to find the lost crown of his ancestors.
From this point of view, everyone in Kandak should be grateful to him, but the help he brought also brought war to Kandak. This is also an indisputable fact.
This made Kandak a little dissatisfied. In fact, she hoped that Shazam would lead the Justice League to directly wipe out the International Gang, so that Kandak's losses would be minimized.
But Dane doesn't like this approach. Doesn't it mean you want to have sex for nothing? How can he suffer this disadvantage?
So Dane ignored the dissatisfaction of the spirit of Kandak and said frankly: "Now I have two plans, you can choose one."
"First, you sign a contract with me. From now on, Khandak belongs to me personally, and I will take over all power here, both practical and magical.
"In this way, we will be a family from now on, and your business will be my business, and I can do it with my help."
"Second, you will stay in this dreamland from now on. The appearance of this city is your nostalgia for Kandak's heyday, right?"
"You can stay in this beautiful dream forever. Although the real world is a little more complicated, I can also get this city through other means. When the time comes, I will still help you get rid of the International Gang."
"Now, it's up to you."
Because what he wanted was a complete Kandak, Dane did not demand the souls of all Kandak people like the demons who invaded Los Angeles.
Now he no longer needs this kind of thing, he has become the Death God.
As the Death God, even without the cooperation of the spirit of Khandak, the souls in this land can still be his property when he wants.
The reason why Kandak is still wanted is because in order for the Justice League to become a political entity, it is not enough to have an organizational form, but also to have a real land.
In this way, it will be able to deter some ghosts and snake gods from peeking at the Superman class in an official manner.
And the Justice League also needs a base of its own.
After all, the original Justice Building is still within the borders of the United States and is not very safe.
Dane has another plan. He wants to build several space stations in space to monitor threats from deep space, so he needs ten launch bases that are completely controlled by Umbrella himself.
NASA is a big sieve, with spies from all departments inside, and he doesn't trust them.
Kandak is very suitable as a new launch base, and relying on the eternal metal veins, maybe we can find a way to combine science and magic.
Moreover, Kandak is close to the sea, so it may be able to have some contact with the underwater kingdom. Their seawater ionization technology is still very good.
It is cleaner than nuclear energy and has higher energy conversion efficiency.
It can enable the earth's technology to escape from the "boiling water" stage.
Faced with Dane's two choices, Khandak fell into thought.
This seemed to give her a choice, but in fact she had no choice at all.
No matter how beautiful everything here is, a dream is just a dream, it is not reality.
No matter how bad the reality is, it is still her city, and she loves it more than anything else.
So there was only one choice she could make. Khandak didn't complain. The law of the jungle is the law of survival in the world. Even she is the spirit of the city and admits this.
Besides, Khandak has been owned by people for thousands of years, and it is better to let Shazam take charge than those hyenas who only destructively mine this land.
"I choose the first one." There was no wave in her tone.
"Wise choice."
Dane nodded with satisfaction, beckoned, grabbed a roll of parchment from the void, and handed it to Khandak.
But she just glanced and stared into Dane's eyes:
"Can you promise me that you will treat Khandak and the people here well?"
Dane can still accept this request. He has taken the biggest benefits, so there is no need to worry about small things.
So he solemnly said to Kandak: "I promise that in my lifetime, Kandak will not be allowed to experience war again."
Anyway, major events in the DC universe basically take place in the United States. If it were someone there, Dane would really not dare to make this guarantee.
The spirit of Khandak said nothing more and printed his "blood" and part of his "table" on the scroll.
Suddenly, Dane felt a spiritual connection between himself and Kandak, and he was a little surprised.
This was the first time he had signed this type of contract, so he didn't know the effect would be like this. No wonder she looked unwilling before.
It turns out that after signing the master-slave contract, the psychological activities of the "slave" can be known by the "master"!
Moreover, the party that calls the shots can actively turn on and off this spiritual connection, including transmitting its own thoughts to the "subordinate".
...Please give me flowers...
Dane wanted to give it a try, so he randomly pulled something from his memory and passed it on.
Kandak raised his head: "I can receive it, so please be careful when you choose to send information, and don't send out some...very private things."
She turned her head away indifferently, but Dane could clearly see that the roots of her ears were red.
Can the information conveyed be so specific?
Dane was surprised, and Kandak didn't seem to be as unkind as he thought.
Once it has its own thoughts and personality, it is difficult for this living body not to have emotions and the like.
Dane, who has done research on color light energy, can feel this.
But now is not the time to study her. Now that Kandak has been in his hands as he wished, many plans can continue to advance.
First, he must strangle the International Gang to death.
They were left alone in the past to let the Kandak people know how to fight against themselves, and now their purpose has been achieved.
But not all struggles can achieve good results, and realistic factors cannot be ignored. Although the International Gang is just an al-Qaeda organization, it has money!
If you have money, you can hire countless mercenaries to help fight in war areas. Human lives are not valuable here.
But Kandak naturally lacks war potential. The economy and weapons can still be provided secretly by Umbrella Company, but the people who fight can't.
With a population of several million, we can't really be like a certain six-pointed star country, where all the people are soldiers, right? Then the domestic economy can't be managed?
So it's time for him to come out and clean up the situation.
But you can't use Shazam's identity. This body is the leader of the Justice League, so there can't be any taint. He also wants to engage in politics!
So after he took Kandak out of the dream, he whispered "Shazam", and a bolt of lightning flew from the sky, knocking him back to his mortal body.
Kandak looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he meant, but she soon understood.
The power of Death God was activated, and the dark divine power dyed his sclera black, while his irises turned into gold, and divinity came out from the inside out.
A black cloak emerged from the void and stretched over his body. Under the moonlight, his skin was so white that it looked inhuman.
At this time, Dane was already 19 years old and looked very young.
And it is estimated that his apparent age will be fixed here in the future. Not counting the body of Shazam, his body has also become a genuine Death God.
Supported by the power given by "death", he does not need to rely on human faith to survive like other gods, and...
Considering that there are still a large number of souls in the inventory, he has no shortage of consumables.
It's just that this style of treating souls as consumables is more like a devil than Death God...
"You, you are Shazam?"
Kandak next to him saw his sudden change and couldn't help but ask.
Dane stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of her eyes, lifting the "confusion spell". Only then did Khandak finally see clearly.
After all, the two of them actually look the same before and after the transformation, it's just that Shakai's form is more mature.
He looked at Kandak with a smile:
"Now, you should call me 'Death God'."
