Dr. Bolivar Trask gritted his teeth.
He could improve the Sentinel robots!
If they didn't work now, it didn't mean they wouldn't work in the future. They would surely succeed one day!
Next to him, Alessandro muttered, "Is that kid really unbeatable, with no limits?"
"An entire city..."
His eyes were filled with deep fear.
After a while, he muttered, "No, he's up against the entire United States. He won't end well!"
How could a mere mutant possibly stand against a superpower like the United States?
Alessandro thought that the boy would ultimately meet a tragic end.
At this moment.
The tens of thousands of viewers who watched the entire event were genuinely terrified of mutants.
An entire city had disappeared right before their eyes!
It vanished under the power of a mutant!
Is this really the power of mutants?
Can they truly be eliminated?
At this moment, they were genuinely terrified of the glowing boy.
As time passed, the impact of this event grew. Everyone who knew about it felt fear in their hearts.
This incident was documented and became known as the "Light Event."
The young mutant responsible for the disappearance of an entire city was labeled as a demon or devil by ordinary people.
However, among mutants, because of his radiant appearance when using his powers, he was called the Messiah, the savior of mutants, with hopes that he could save them.
Birds chirped.
In the primeval forest.
"Ugh..." Syd pushed himself up against a tree, coughing and quickly getting to his feet.
"Venom, are you still there?"
He looked at his right hand.
Syd noticed that Venom had suddenly gone silent. He wasn't used to the lack of constant chatter in his ear.
It didn't take long for Venom's weak voice to emerge.
"I'm here..."
Venom emerged from his right hand, looking wilted and weak.
"What happened to you?"
Venom explained.
It turned out that while Syd was out of control, even though he didn't intentionally harm Venom, Venom still suffered significant injuries.
After recovering a bit, Venom stared blankly at him, muttering, "Syd, you're terrifying!"
Just a while ago, Syd had seemed like a god...
Even now, Venom was still trembling with fear, just thinking about it scared him.
Seeing that Venom was alright, Syd turned his attention to himself.
[Name: Syd Castell]
[Age: 16 (Remaining Lifespan: 137 days)]
[Mutant Abilities: Mimicry, Energy Absorption]
[Current Mimicry Target: Orochi (Title: Sun God, Earth's Will)]
(Unlock Progress 0%)
[Abilities: Floating Flight (531/2000) Level 4]
...(Locked)]
[Energy Points: 0]
Syd's expression became serious, focusing on the 0% unlock progress and the locked abilities.
As the sunlight shone on him, and he felt the photon energy gradually recovering in his body, Syd tried using his abilities and discovered something disturbing.
He couldn't use Dark Particle or Spatial Transfer at all!
Moreover, he felt that there was some issue with the Orochi mimicry panel!
"Is this the price of losing control and using that kind of power?" Syd was stunned.
"How can I recover?"
"Restore the unlock progress? And then the abilities will unlock one by one?"
Does this mean he can't use any abilities for now?
Without his abilities, how could he survive in this dangerous world without dying soon?
Wait!
Suddenly, Syd remembered something.
When the unlock progress reached 100%, he felt like something had changed, sensing something.
In addition, he had perceived a new mimicry panel!
Belonging to the Scarlet Witch!
Ignoring the Scarlet Witch's panel for now, he focused on what he sensed when Orochi's mimicry reached 100%.
In a vague sense, Syd felt his perspective rising, as if he had a connection with the Earth.
However, this connection was not strong. He wasn't sure why, but he couldn't sense much from it.
Besides that, Syd felt a certain change, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
He felt that this change was significant.
While Syd pondered.
In the Earth-199999 universe, the universe where events involving Iron Man and others took place, in the library of Kamar-Taj.
The dimly lit library.
Kaecilius, dressed in a yellow robe with his hair tied back, a middle-aged man, held an oil lamp in his left hand and flipped through a locked book of forbidden magic with his right.
Originally, he was just an ordinary person. The deaths of his wife and children left him grief-stricken. In a tavern, he met Mordo, a disciple of the Ancient One, which gave him the chance to join Kamar-Taj.
However, even after learning magic and breaking free from worldly concerns, he couldn't forget his wife and children.
In fact, his motivation for learning magic was to resurrect his family!
Unfortunately, though he had decent talent in magic and even became the senior disciple of Kamar-Taj, resurrecting his family through diligent practice was impossible.
Kaecilius was desperately aware of this.
So, some time ago, he asked the Ancient One if he could study the forbidden magic books, hoping to find a way to resurrect his family. He was met with a stern refusal.
Unwilling to give up, he secretly came to the library to read the forbidden books.
After searching for a while, he found nothing useful.
Suddenly, his gaze landed on a page in an ancient book.
There was a mysterious ritual depicted, and the text recorded some crucial information.
Kaecilius touched the page with his hand.
It said that through this ritual, one could communicate with a being beyond time.
And that being's name...
"Dormammu?"
"The Lord of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu?"
Reading the introduction, Kaecilius murmured in awe.
"A being beyond time?"
How terrifying!
The book explained...
"Dormammu, the Lord of the Dark Dimension, possesses immeasurable power, able to grant people strength and immortality..."
Casillius became excited.
Perhaps he could save them!
But as he continued reading, his excitement was dampened.
The book warned...
"Communicating with this being is dangerous. The weak-minded will fall into darkness..."
The book was full of warnings for readers.
But Kaecilius, willing to do anything to revive his family, ignored the warnings!
Just as he was about to attempt it, he noticed more content in the book.
It introduced another being.
The book stated...
"In the East, it is called the Dao. In the West, it is called Alaya, Gaia..."
"I attempted to communicate with this being through rituals, confirming its existence, but received no response..."
