Arin inhaled slowly.
Lightning crackled around the Wizard's staff.
The Cave of Eternity filled with magical power.
Arin's eyes narrowed… and he spoke the word:
"SHAZAM."
BOOOOOOOM—!!
A colossal bolt of divine lightning struck him from above, filling the cave with blinding golden-white light.
Arin's body lifted off the ground.
His vision exploded with stars, thunder, fire, and something older than time.
Power surged through his veins with overwhelming stength.
Like it belonged to him.
Like it had been waiting for him.
FWOOOOOSH—
The lightning settled.
Arin slowly lowered to the ground.
He opened his eyes.
His breath stopped.
He wasn't human-looking anymore.
He looked like a god.
He stood taller — but not adult-sized like Billy Batson's transformation.
He remained himself — just a perfect, peak version of his body.
A dark red and black armored suit covered him, sleek and modern, unlike the childish design from the movies.
Black gauntlets.
Dark boots with golden lightning patterns.
A long, royal black cape with gold trimming.
And on his chest—
A glowing thunderbolt, pulsing like a living thunder.
But the most striking part—
His face was covered by a dark mask, sharp and intimidating, with gold patterns lining the edges.
A true warrior's armor.
A true champion's armor.
Arin stared at himself.
"…I look… insane."
Looking at himself he nodded with satisfaction.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Suddenly his System exploded with notifications.

Arin blinked.

He just jumped from zero to seven thousand in an instant.
The System was practically screaming:

Arin ignored everything and looked at the Wizard.
"You weren't lying… I really am… become champion."
The Wizard smiled for the first time with genuine pride.
"Yes, Arin Aether. Unlike others, whose mortal body cannot withstand the divine powers and must transform… your body is already strong enough to adapt it ."
Arin exhaled in relief.
"That explains why I doesn't feel much different ."
The Wizard nodded.
"You were born with potential far beyond normal humans. You are… special case I never seen in my life ."
Arin don't say anything
This power fit him perfectly — like it had been waiting for him.
But before Arin could ask anything more—
The entire Cave of Eternity SHOOK violently.
The Wizard's expression darkened.
"Arin… look."
A massive wave of golden energy exploded outward from Arin's body .
The Wizard whispered:
"The world now knows…"

Paradise Island (Themyscira)
Warrior Amazons stumbled as a shockwave rolled over the ocean.
Hippolyta dropped her sword, eyes wide.
"A new Sazam … is born? But why do feel so familiar like I have seen before …"
------
Louvre Museum in Paris
In a room fillled with ancient and weapon and panting, Diana also look some what restless because she fell the familiar presence she once rememberd.
---
Kamar-Taj
Monks meditated when the air ripped with energy.
Ancient One's eyes snapped open.
"That was no ordinary sorcery."
Wong whispered
"That felt like… divine power."
Ancient one said quietly
"A new champion has been chosen."
---
Asgard
Heimdall's golden eyes flared.
He nearly dropped the Bifrost sword.
"This… this power…
It rivals the gods…"
Thor looked up.
"Who dares command lightning besides me?"
Odin whispered from the throne:
"Not lightning.
Magic lightning."
---
Mount Olympus
Zeus himself opened his eyes from slumber.
His beard crackled with divine energy.
"My power… has been invoked."
A slow smile touched his lips.
"The Wizard has chosen another champion."
The god present murmured in awe.
---
Every Magical Realm
Mystics.
Sorcerers.
Demigods.
Magical creatures.
Every one of them felt the surge of Magical energy.
A name whispered across the realms:
SHAZAM
---
Back in the Cave of Eternity
The Wizard steadied himself, weak but proud.
"Your arrival as champion has shaken all magical realms. They will come searching. Some to ally with you… others to oppose you."
Arin's eyes glowed faintly under the mask.
"I'm ready."
The Wizard nodded once.
"You must be.
Sivana grows stronger every moment.
The Sins are feeding on chaos."
He placed his hand on Arin's shoulder.
"My time is almost over.
You… are the last hope."
Arin tightened his fist, lightning crackling softly across his knuckles.
He wasn't afraid but instead feeling excited to fight after acquired the new power.
