章節 89: Chapter 89 New God
"Boss.... What's happening?" Alice didn't know what he was experiencing, but from his words and tone, she knew something was wrong.
"Something I've long since expected happening in the way I least expected". Amari uttered without change.
He had expected to draw attention. But not for it to happen so soon.
Now this was definitely a surprise. The most surprising thing that had happened to him since his creation.... Scratch that, the only astounding thing since his creation.
Watching the energy being devoured at rapid speeds for nothing but a mere question...
"I'm probably about to face off with an actual big shot". The DC world was filled with powerful people, but not all of them could get into his eyes.
But this...
The strength of whatever or whoever caused this wasn't at the level he had previously dealt with.
In this case, Superman could only be a younger brother.
"I wanted to take my time with this, but it seems I can't wait". And so, both energy essence before him flew into the distance before the merging process between them began.
"The sources are undergoing fusion now?"
"If I don't fuse and absorb them now, I'm probably gonna be sucked dry by my own ability". The dimensional space suddenly rumbled, and the still environment was filled with violet winds.
The waters in front grew chaotic like a storm was brewing and the trees billowed with the wild winds.
Amari's face was bland. He said it casually, but the implications were nothing to laugh at.
"Once my reserves run out, the energy required to answer the question will be drawn from me. Just like parasite did to Superman, this body will be drained of everything and wither to dust. Anything and everything I've ever created will also disappear and be consumed as fuel for the answer. If that's still not enough, the dimensional space will shatter as it's also my creation. All until I'm brought back to the way I was long before entering this world".
A self depreciating smile finally appeared on his features.
"Back to square one".
The two energy balls made contact and began to pulse violently as they consumed each other.
"In that case just end the….".
"I can't".
Amari cut her short.
"Once I begin creation of something, it won't stop until its completed. Then, if I want it gone, I'll have to spend energy to erase it. Unless I can't support the consumption midway, there's no pause button. It's something even I can't control"
"It is said that everything has a natural weakness. Something that can destroy them without having to use tremendous force. Well..... Here's mine".
Amari shrugged.
"My ability still has limitations".
As his words fell, the fusion process was completed.
Following which, the ball of rainbow-colored energy flew towards him at breakneck speed, crashing into his body before he was covered in a multicolored aura.
As the new essence was absorbed, Amari turned his gaze towards the vast horizon, staring into the distance.
"I don't know if you can hear me". Engulfed in the wonderful light show, Amari uttered through his lips.
"I don't know if you can see me. But I'm sure you know what's happening". Amari showed a smile.
"And I have to admit, this was genius. I honestly never saw it coming".
"But we both know this won't work. Even if my attempt fails and this body dies, you can't truly kill me. I'll always come back....".
"..... And I'll come find you when I do".
These were his last words, after which he refocused on his own situation.
This was at delay tactic at best and a final countermeasure at worst.
A countermeasure in case he broke through the lack of interest and decided to find out.
But Amari couldn't care about that right now.
The fusion was complete, and his reserves had increased, but the energy was still being drained.
"Will absorbing the essence resolve the problem?"
"No it will not my dear Alice". Amari replied.
The destabilizing dimensional space was the best proof. The essence from Amazo and Parasite was nowhere near enough to counter this.
However, he never cared for the amount of energy they could grant him, but the different characteristics that could evolve into something else when put together.
"But it'll serve as a good foundation for what I'm about to do next".
His words fell, and the space before he swirled. Another sphere of energy emerged from the swirling area in front of him that thrummed with immense power.
Amari had nearly forgotten about this when he took it several weeks ago. And its original owner was probably disabled in a hospital bed or sitting in a wheelchair somewhere with useless arms.
"That is….?"
"Quick quiz Alice. Where do you think the Gods draw their power from?"
The sphere of Divine energy about half the size of an adult male pulsated in front of him.
This was the power of the old Gods.
Amari didn't wait for her to answer.
"The Godsphere. A metaphysical reality outside the DC multiverse, home to all Gods and extradimensional creatures. It's the home and source of all magic in the DC multiverse as well as the birthplace of the Gods, Old and New alike".
"In this universe, it gives the Gods and those with Godlike abilities the magic they harness. My point being, the magical energy it contains is quite literally limitless".
"However, it exists outside the DC multiverse. I can't teleport there with the dimensional space, meaning I would need a certain amount of energy to reach it without boom tube technology. Energy I currently can't afford to spare...".
"... Things would be hopeless. Unless.....".
"You're going to use the power of Six Gods channelled by Captain Marvel to access the Godsphere".
"Bingo".
He answered before stretching his hands forward. The stream of energy flowed out towards Amari's palm before sinking into his body.
He closed his eyes for a split second, and they changed color when he reopened them.
Absorbing the divinity of the Gods, he could feel the connection. Six connections to be precise. The same one Billy Batson had when he uttered the word Shazam.
His eyes peered into the void, surpassing what he could see in his dimensional space.
He pushed the Connection, surpassing those they were attached to, and went on straight to the source.
'These eyes are more powerful than I imagined'.
'Nevertheless, this is going to get me in really big trouble'. Amari thought to himself, knowing that whatever peace he had would be gone from this moment onward.
It wasn't as simply as using the Powers of the Gods as a connection to the Godsphere.
Billy Batson wasn't connected to the Sphere Of Gods. He wasn't a God himself. Just a boy who could utilize a certain percentage of their abilities.
In simpler words, he drew power from the Gods who drew power from the Godsphere.
Amari didn't have the spare energy to create a separate channel to harness that power. So..... similar to Captain Marvel, he could only draw power from the first connection. Which was the Gods themselves.
Many believed the old Gods to be dead as they were supposedly all killed by Ares which made way for the new God's to rise. But he knew that wasn't the case.
The old Gods were in hiding. But that didn't mean they were ignorant.
Even if The Presence said that they wouldn't feel someone drawing their magic without their consent, Amari wouldn't believe it.
Would they be happy about this?
Certainly not. And he, the main culprit, would gain a lot of attention and a whole new league of possible enemies.
What a hassle. Nonetheless at this point, he had no other choice.
His tank was about to hit empty.
"If that be the case. What do you need the previous essence for?"
Seeing his beloved AI being so inquisitive in this situation, Amari couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hehehehe..... Remember when I said I needed an upgrade?"
His indifferent expression finally showed a small smirk.
"Since I'm going to be stealing power from the Gods, then why stop there? Amazo and Parasite's abilities are the foundation... I said I needed an upgrade. Then what better upgrade is there than to become a New God".
At that moment, his energy reserves hit zero.
At the same time, the God connection was fully established.
"Shazam!"
Amari looked at the sky and yelled for dramatic effect. And then..... A bolt of lightning streaked down from the sky, illuminating the area brightly.
Power!
A massive surge of energy flooded into his being with every passing second. In less than ten seconds, it surpassed the amount of energy he previously held within his reserves. And with each passing second, it continued to rise.
Feeling the magical energy flowing through his body veins, he couldn't help but feel euphoric.
All of it felt so…. so...
He closed his eyes to savor the feeling for a moment and uttered his final words.
"Make Me A New God!"
And then, a dazzling bright light erupted from his body, illuminating the almost endless dimensional space.
Deep within Amari's mind. Hidden within his inner consciousness..... The empty mind space that held nothing... A crack appeared in the void.
........
Sphere Of Gods, Mount Olympus
Deep in its ruins, there was a statue of a tall, muscular man, dressed in ancient Greek attire. A crown rested on the statue's head, and it looked imposing even for a block of stone.
However, hidden deep in the Olympian ruins, the statue wasn't in very good condition. An arm was missing as well as different parts near the waist, neck, leg, and chest.
But that wasn't the point.
At that moment, the statues seemed to come alive as its eyes gave off a thunderous blue glow.
The atmosphere around the place changed. Large quantities of energy seeped out of the statue and covered it in a golden cocoon. This lasted for almost thirty seconds before the statue reappeared from the cocoon.
However, one would notice that there was now a major difference.
Wisps of blue divine energy emerged from its body from time to time. Zeus was never dead. Neither were many of the old Gods.

Parallel Earth, Earth 666,
Los Angeles.
A devilishly handsome man slept in a bed in the midst of two beauties.
He suddenly opened his eyes as if he had just sensed something.
A portal suddenly opened in the middle of the room and an equally stunningly beautiful woman stepped out.
"Did you feel that".
"I did Mazikin..... Someone's causing trouble".
...
Apokolips
Sitting on his throne of darkness, the Lord of Apokolips and God of evil suddenly opened his eyes.
Just like Amari thought, his actions immediately caught the attention of numerous parties.
After all, the Birth of a New God was no joke.
