In a far-off abandoned industrial building on the edge of Philadelphia, the air was filled with deadly and evils aura .
Inside a cracked, broken office room, Dr. Thaddeus Sivana stood in front of a shattered mirror.
His left eye glowed a deep, violent violet.
Dark veins pulsed like living snakes across his temple.
The room was silent.
Then—
SHRRRRAAAKKK—
A dark, cold shadow poured out of Sivana's left eye, swirling like smoke.
Then another.
Then another.
Until the entire room was filled with seven monstrous silhouettes — each towering, eyeless, with demonic forms carved from pure sin:
Wrath
Greed
Lust
Envy
Gluttony
Pride
Sloth
Their voices were twisted echoes, layered with malice.
A deep growl filled the room.
"HE HAS AWAKENED…"
Sivana stiffened.
"Who?" he hissed.
Greed slithered forward, sharp teeth glinting.
"THE NEW CHAMPION… THE WIZARD HAS CHOSEN HIM…"
Sivana's face darkened instantly.
"What…?"
Pride stepped closer, wings scraping the ceiling.
"The lightning… the magic… you can't have, become someones."
Wrath roared, making the windows explode outward.
"A NEW SHAZAM APPEAR !"
Sivana's heartbeat spiked.
His fists clenched so hard his knuckles bled.
"A new champion…?"
The Sins circled him, whispering, hissing, taunting:
"He is powerful…"
"He rivals even us…"
"The Wizard's magic chose him over you…"
"He will kill you if you let him grow…"
"You must destroy him."
Sivana's eye twitched violently.
His voice trembled with rage.
"The Wizard has choosen a champion… ?"
The Sins roared.
"DESTROY THE NEW CHAMPION."
"KILL HIM BEFORE HE MATURES."
"DO NOT LET HIM LEARN HIS POWERS…"
Envy peered close to Sivana's face.
"He is the one who possesses what you never could…"
Sivana's rage exploded.
"ENOUGH!!!"
He slammed his fist into the wall—
the entire building shook.
Concrete cracked.
Glass shattered.
His left eye glowed brighter, burning with madness.
"Fine," Sivana hissed.
"Tell me where he is."
The Sins grinned.
Gluttony licked its dripping jaws.
"Close."
Pride leaned forward.
"He is in Philadelphia… the magic brought him here…"
Wrath roared with joy.
"HE IS FEARFUL. WE CAN TASTE IT."
Sivana grinned, cruel and unhinged.
"So the Wizard thinks this new person can defeat me?"
He laughed — a cold, broken laugh.
"I will kill him ."
He raised his glowing hand, purple energy crackling from his fingers.
"Show me the way."
The Sins merged back into his body, pouring into his eye, whispering and screaming.
Sivana's entire body pulsed with black lightning.
His voice echoed through the collapsing building:
"I will find you, Champion…"
....
Unware of danger that coming toward him .
Arin stood inside the Cave of Eternity, the ancient torches flickering in awe at his presence.
He lifted his hand and called out softly:
"System open status…"
Ding!
System Status Opening…
A bright blue screen appeared in front of him.
Arin's eyes narrowed as he read the status.

Arin stared for a long moment.
"…GG tier."
GG was at level of gods.
Now he gain the power enough to rival gods Even defeat them .
Arin shut off the system status screen.
"Alright… let's see what this power can do."
His eyes glowed faintly beneath his mask.
Arin took a slow breath.
"Strength of Hercules."
He clenched his fist and lightly punched a nearby pillar—
BAAAM—!!
The pillar exploded like it was made of paper, sending stone dust flying.
Arin blinked.
"That was… too easy."
He walked a few steps forward.
"Speed of Mercury."
His foot touched the ground—
SWOOOOSH—
He vanished.
Reappeared across the cavern.
Vanished again.
Appeared on the ceiling.
Again.
Reappeared behind the Wizard.
The Wizard jolted. "By the gods—!"
Arin casually reappeared where he started.
"…Fast enough."
The Wizard muttered, "you can be even more faster than …"
Arin ignored him and raised his palm.
"Power of Zeus."
Lightning gathered around his fingers.
A massive ball of crackling gold formed, buzzing like a miniature sun.
Arin pointed toward a far wall.
KRAAAAAAAK—!!!!!
The lightning bolt obliterated the stone wall, carving a tunnel straight through the cave.
Fire crackled at the edges.
Arin nodded.
"Good output."
The Wizard stared at the massive destruction.
"…Good? My foot are you trying to destroy the cave !"
Arin shrugged.
He raised his arm again.
"Stamina of Atlas."
A massive boulder dropped from the cave roof—
Arin caught it with one hand, casually, like holding a bag of chips.
He tossed it behind him.
It flew like a missile and smashed through another stone tower.
The Wizard took two steps back.
"C-Careful! This is a sacred cave —"
Arin wasn't done.
He closed his eyes.
"Wisdom of Solomon."
Instantly—
Ancient knowledge flowed into his mind.
He could sense every corner of the cave.
He knew how to use every power perfectly.
He could read magical symbols as if they were simple English.
His mind sharpened into something inhuman.
"…Interesting," he muttered.
Finally—
Arin stood still, let the divine power settle, then whispered:
"Courage of Achilles."
His aura flared.
Golden lightning surged around him.
Fear vanished completely.
Doubt vanished.
He felt only absolute confidence.
The Wizard stared in awe.
"Your compatibility is… extraordinary. I have never seen a champion adapt this fast."
Arin exhaled softly, lightning fading.
He looked down at his armored hand.
"This power… fits me perfectly."
The Wizard smiled faintly.
"Now you know, Arin Aether… the Seven Gods is within you."
Hearing this Arin smile but then thinking of seven deadly sins his eyes sharpened with cold resolve.
"Sivana and the Sins will come for me. I need to master everything… fast."
The Wizard nodded.
"There is one last test you must perform."
Arin raised an eyebrow.
"What test?"
The Wizard pointed toward the deeper part of the cave.
Beyond the darkness, the seven monstrous statues of the Sins seemed to tremble.
"The Seven Deadly Sins themselves… will react to your presence."
Arin's eyes glowed with golden lightning.
"Good."
He stepped forward.
"Let them come."
