[DCEU] How do the Old Gods live on through the SHAZAM if they were all killed by Ares?

In the movie Wonder Woman we learn that the Old Gods are killed by Ares and it is an important plot point that Diana has the last of the power of the Old Gods but in the movie SHAZAM we learn that the Wizard and later Billy Batson have the power of the Old Gods. How can this be if gods and their power was extinguished by Ares?

Athena was the goddess of Wisdom, just because she was killed doesn't mean that Wisdom died.  Shazam embodies the concepts that those gods were associated with.  

So the gods are dead, but SHAZAM still can call upon the power they represented.
