"First of all, his combat experience is more than enough, and among everyone here, perhaps only Hawkman could match him."

  Batman knew that not expining himself would be hard to calm Shazam down, especially since they would need Shazam's help to enter the divine realm.

  Hawkman raised a hand with a slightly awkward expression.

  "I haven't fully recovered my past life memories, and most of my reincarnations didn't involve much fighting—let alone fighting experienced superhumans."

  Shazam and Aquaman's expressions shifted immediately. The two of them had no idea that Viktor's past was this complicated.

  The others, however, had some understanding of him by now.

  Even Green Lantern, who is normally the most reckless, rarely held back from offering his opinion, but he kept quiet this time.

  'Oh my God... The kid had the yellow power ring for just a few seconds?'

  Green Lantern thought.

  'He didn't even wear it, and his physical abilities skyrocketed this much. Facing such an unknown threat to the Lantern Corps for the first time, I'm starting to realize how little I know.'

  Meanwhile, Viktor started to worry.

  "I haven't fully mastered Ms. Prince's combat style yet, and my fighting style doesn't even have the concept of 'holding back'. If I accidentally kill a few gods again, I'm worried I won't be able to handle the consequences with Zeus."

  He didn't know exactly how strong Zeus was in this world, but since even the stories from his past life stated that Zeus was the King of the Gods.

  He wasn't just some ordinary force to be reckoned with.

  If even Superman himself might not be able to hold his own against Zeus, Viktor didn't dare to be too cocky.

  There wasn't much information, and he tried comparing Zeus to Odin in the Marvel Universe as an example. He figured going alone into the divine realm was likely a one-way trip.

  However, since Batman had suggested it, Viktor assumed there must be some reasoning behind it.

  After voicing his concerns, he chose not to say anything further. Batman gave a slight nod, and his deep, calm voice rang out again.

  "The second point is that Cyborg and I analyzed the contents of the parchment and the manner in which Diana disappeared, and reached a conclusion with a high probability that Zeus likely isn't angry about the golden apples being stolen."

  Shazam was momentarily stunned. He looked more closely at the parchment on the screen, studying it for a while, and gradually started to get a sense of it.

  Since Shazam was also blessed with Zeus's divine power, even though he couldn't understand the written words, Shazam could understand the meaning of the words through his divine power and the Wisdom of Solomon as a bridge.

  He hadn't paid much attention before, viewing it through a screen from a distance, but this time he was the first to respond to Batman's second point.

  "If Zeus's wrath was only being dispyed through kidnapping and a threatening letter, it would be too petty. I feel like they're trying to send Viktor into the divine realm alone to discuss something?"

  Hawkman, who retained some old memories, let out a scoffing smile. He might not have had direct contact with gods, but he'd dealt with more than one of their priests.

  "Those high-and-mighty beings don't want to show anything resembling warmth toward a mortal. They care too much about their so-called divine dignity, but if you go alone, they won't just let you take her and walk out without a fight."

  Batman turned his gaze to Viktor.

  "So, once you go in, a fight is likely unavoidable. However, Zeus very likely won't move against you personally. We'll be monitoring your status through technical means, and if it comes down to it, the Justice League won't abandon you or Wonder Woman."

  Shazam stood up and walked over, patting Viktor on the shoulder.

  "Buddy, even though I don't know where you come from, don't go underestimating those gods, especially Ares. The destruction he can cause on Earth is completely different from what he can do in the divine realm."

  Viktor shrugged off Shazam's rough hand, feeling a bit speechless.

  "You just repeated what Superman said Ms. Prince told him, didn't you?"

  "No."

  Shazam surprisingly showed a serious expression.

  "I just communicated the Wisdom of Solomon, and through it I caught a glimpse of Ares's true strength. Honestly, I'm not even sure I could take him down alone in the divine realm."

  Shazam extended a hand toward him.

  "So, kid, if your strength isn't on my level, I still recommend you think this through carefully because going into the divine realm alone is too dangerous."

  Viktor was genuinely surprised and didn't expect Shazam to have a reliable side.

  After a moment, Viktor extended his arm, and the two hands, one rge and one small, gripped each other.

  They both began to exert force, and tremendous power gathered in their palms.

  Batman shot Superman a look.

  Superman understood immediately, extending his bio-force field to disperse and channel the energy radiating from both Shazam and Viktor.

  Cyborg's electronic eye flickered continuously, and apart from Batman, was actually the member of the Justice League who knew the most about Viktor's background.

  Since the moment Viktor first appeared on Earth, he had been monitored from every piece of modern electronic equipment through Cyborg's extended sensory capabilities.

  After a few seconds, Cyborg's expression shifted from calm to astonishment, and his electronic eye fred with blue light.

  "They're releasing 2.4×1012 tons of TNT equivalent energy per second. If Superman wasn't redirecting the power, the Watchtower would probably have been destroyed by now."

  The Fsh quickly calcuted the impact in a fraction of a second.

  "Whoa. You're saying they're each releasing enough energy every second to wipe out the entire ecosystem of Australia?"

  Shazam's gaze turned into one of admiration.

  "I still have energy left. What about you?"

  "I do too."

  Viktor smiled as he responded.

  "Then let's end it here. I believe you'll be fine."

  The two of them, in perfect sync, rexed their power and released each other's hands.

  Batman calmly tapped the table.

  "Now, I'll expin the pn for opening the entrance to the divine realm."
