Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Erik murmured to himself in confusion, "What secret lies behind this?"

While Magneto pondered, on the other side, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury received a report from the three agents, including Nikola.

"Time travel? Parallel worlds?"

A mix of shock and disbelief flickered in Fury's eyes.

Such an absurd concept was unheard of, even for him.

Kitty Pryde's ability to send someone's consciousness back to the past could still be explained to some extent. But the report claimed that Messiah physically traveled to the future?

What kind of ability was this?

Could Messiah possess other Omega-level powers?

"Troublesome," Fury muttered, his eyes reflecting a deep wariness.

If this were true, Messiah's threat level might be comparable to that of the White Knight.

"One can traverse timelines freely, and the other bends reality itself? Are all Omega mutants this abnormal?"

"Can't these two just settle down for a bit?"

The thought left Fury exasperated.

He couldn't fathom how the world had suddenly produced two such ridiculously powerful individuals.

As for the part of the report claiming that Messiah had wiped out all the Sentinel robots in that future timeline, including a Sentinel Prime with countless abilities, Fury remained skeptical.

While it wasn't entirely impossible for Messiah, it still seemed far-fetched.

However, the claim that Messiah could release a destructive light with a range of over two thousand kilometers? Fury outright dismissed it as impossible.

Such an exaggerated, reality-defying power couldn't be real!

Suddenly, Fury's brow furrowed as a thought occurred to him.

"Could this be a ploy by the future Magneto and Professor X?"

Was the exaggerated portrayal of Messiah's strength meant to deter others from attacking him, indirectly protecting this Omega mutant?

The more he thought about it, the more convinced Fury became of this theory.

Smirking, he shook his head at the cleverness of the idea.

Finally, his attention shifted back to the Sentinels.

"Sentinel robots again..."

"These things need to be controlled!" Fury's expression darkened further.

For a long time, he had believed that Sentinel robots posed a threat to humanity. Wolverine's experience had only confirmed his suspicions.

Fury began contemplating ways to limit the development of Sentinels.

Even if he couldn't stop their research entirely, he could at least impose restrictions on their deployment.

While Fury's thoughts swirled, elsewhere, Syd stood under the sunlight, practicing Chaos Magic. He was determined to level up the magic to Level 5 and unlock its full Omega potential.

[Chaos Magic EXP +1]

However, after a brief session, Syd frowned slightly, noticing the consumption of his photon energy. A thought crossed his mind.

"Forget it. Let's focus on upgrading Orochi's abilities to Level 5 first."

He realized that Orochi's powers were closely tied to spatial manipulation. With Orochi's traits, he could even draw energy from the Space Stone to enhance these abilities.

Given this, it wouldn't take long to level up Orochi's abilities to Level 5.

At that point, not only would Orochi's powers undergo a qualitative transformation, but his photon energy would also evolve significantly.

In the short term, this improvement would surpass that of Chaos Magic.

Considering the looming threat of the Celestial Arishem or the Old Gods' avatars appearing at any moment, it was better to prioritize immediate power boosts.

With that, Syd moved to a secluded corner and retrieved the Space Stone.

The next moment, the stone glowed with blue light, its energy pouring into Syd's body.

As the Space Stone fluctuated, its unstable glow hinted at a potential eruption.

Syd glanced at the stone but paid it no mind.

If it exploded, so be it. The Space Stone couldn't harm him—it might at most teleport him somewhere unknown.

After a brief consideration, Syd began practicing Black Particles.

[Black Particle EXP +1]

[Black Particle EXP +1]

Dark ripples emanated from his right hand, shooting toward the ground like lightning.

With ample energy, the experience points for Black Particles grew rapidly, increasing almost every second.

Before long, after just a few dozen minutes, Syd heard the long-awaited notification.

[Ability: Black Particles (Max/Max) Level 5]

Instantly, Syd felt a significant refinement in his photon energy. If fully replenished, his total photon energy would likely increase by about 10%.

Noticing this, Syd's eyes lit up.

This meant that abilities like flight, Sunshine, and Divine Word would all see indirect enhancements, particularly in their effective range.

Extending his right hand, Syd instinctively pointed forward.

In a flash, a black ripple the size of a manhole cover materialized.

The shadow darted forward at a speed imperceptible to the human eye, instantly vanishing into the distance.

Everything in its path—trees, rocks, and even space itself—was consumed.

Even the space it passed through temporarily disappeared, leaving behind a long, dark scar.

Although space healed itself within a second or two, Syd could faintly glimpse scenes beyond the physical world through the scar.

For a moment, he entertained the idea of using the rift created by Black Particles to step into the unknown.

Shaking his head, he ultimately dismissed the dangerous thought.

He couldn't be certain whether his current physique could handle the conditions outside, or whether he might encounter terrifying entities from other dimensions or universes.

For now, he suppressed his curiosity and refocused on Black Particles.

After some tests, he reached a conclusion.

At Level 5, Black Particles had not only gained significant destructive power but also a range of approximately 1,400 meters before dissipating.

Additionally, increasing energy output could extend its range significantly.

The speed of Black Particles had also reached an astonishing 30 times the speed of sound, far beyond the reaction time of ordinary humans.

Satisfied with the improvements, Syd thought to himself, "Next up is the Spiritual Light Beam. I wonder what changes it will undergo at Level 5."

His eyes gleamed with curiosity.

The next moment, he began practicing the Spiritual Light Beam.

[Spiritual Light Beam EXP +1]

[Spiritual Light Beam EXP +1]

[Ability: Spiritual Light Beam (1999/2000) Level 4]

Soon, with sufficient energy, the final notification for the Spiritual Light Beam rang out.
