Chapter 153

[1000 PS REACHED!! Next Goal: 1500PS]

Under the watchful eyes of the agents below, Syd moved swiftly to follow up.

[Reflective Shield experience +1]

[Black Particle experience +1]

A black wave appeared in his hand, shooting towards the retreating Carol.

But just as it reached her, she dodged sideways.

At this moment, she looked somewhat disheveled, her hair messy, and her battle suit had some damage.

If it weren't for her energy protection, her suit would have been more than just slightly damaged—it might not have even existed anymore.

Despite this, she hadn't sustained any significant injuries. Her nickname as a "tank" was well-deserved.

In a blink, Syd saw her appearing in front of him, her fist already close to his face.

The enormous kinetic energy and power in her punch met an invisible shield, causing ripples to appear.

Syd had initially thought of using the Reflective Shield to swallow her, pulling her into a void space, but it seemed impossible. Whether it was due to the energy on her fist or the inability of the shield to absorb living beings, it didn't work.

The Reflective Shield absorbed most of the kinetic energy and power instantly, but the remaining force pushed Syd into the sky.

Before he could recover, Carol flashed with radiance, and in a streak of light, she reappeared in front of him, throwing another punch.

Syd shifted slightly to the right, dodging the punch as they passed each other.

Thus, the two engaged in a skyward battle, with colorful energy waves and black pulses appearing intermittently.

Boom! A blue beam occasionally streaked across the sky.

The sonic booms from their flight echoed around them.

The commotion in the sky drew the attention of many on the ground.

Previously, the unusual sunlight had kept most people out in the streets, and now they directly noticed the scene above.

"What is that?"

"Are they fighting?"

"Who are they?"

Watching the two figures constantly darting across the sky, the onlookers below were stunned.

Such a commotion was terrifying!

Even from a distance, they could feel the impact of the battle.

Some even wondered if they were closer, would they be killed by the shockwaves?

As they marveled, debated, and took photos, Syd felt the situation becoming tricky.

"This woman's speed..."

Carol's figure continuously appeared around him, her speed incredible, at least several times the speed of sound.

This caught Syd off guard. Without his chaotic magic enhancing his reflexes, he might not have been able to keep up with her speed.

During this time, he noticed a difference—his floating speed had increased slightly.

"Because of the divine power?"

Syd immediately thought of the reason.

If the divine power could enhance other abilities, it naturally could also increase his floating speed.

He had thought his flying speed was almost fixed, but it turned out it could be improved, which pleasantly surprised him.

Because of this, facing Carol became slightly easier.

But even so, in terms of speed, he was still at a disadvantage.

Without the two Reflective Shields constantly protecting him, he might have been hit already.

Watching Carol break through the Reflective Shields, Syd frowned.

It was no surprise she was called the most powerful superhero, comparable to Superman. Her strength was indeed formidable.

Moreover, Syd knew that this wasn't even Carol's full speed. Due to being on the ground, she didn't dare push her speed to the maximum.

Even at their current speed, the battle had caused a series of adverse effects.

Strong winds swept the ground, causing people to scream in terror, desperately seeking cover.

Occasionally, an energy wave, a black particle wave, or a spirit power beam hit the ground, causing significant destruction.

Boom! Debris flew, creating large craters or deep cuts on the ground, scaring the passersby.

"It's Messiah! Who is he fighting?"

"Terrifying!"

"Lord, please protect us..."

Terrified shouts filled the streets, and even a priest closed his eyes, praying for divine protection.

As the battle's shockwaves spread, more people noticed the fight, even several satellites turned their focus towards the area.

The battle scene shocked many, with analysts calculating data from their fight, leading to astonishing results.

Meanwhile, some noticed a particular anomaly.

"Sir, compared to the last fight with Apocalypse, Messiah's flight speed seems to have increased significantly."

A data analyst reported.

A bearded general beside him looked incredulous, mumbling, "Could the rumors about Messiah be true?"

At this point, some officers whispered among themselves.

"Who will win? They both look so powerful..."

"I can't believe someone can fight Messiah to this extent. That woman is really strong."

"Messiah won't lose, will he?"

As they discussed, Syd was sent flying by another punch from Carol.

An invisible Reflective Shield couldn't withstand the pressure and silently dissipated.

Syd frowned.

During this period, he had mostly been suppressed. This woman's speed was too fast, and he could feel her accelerating.

Syd wasn't sure if she would go crazy and push her speed to extreme levels.

Uncertain, but sensing a potential crisis, he decided not to continue the standoff.

He began to glow, illuminating the surroundings more brightly than Carol's radiance, drawing her attention and momentarily pausing her attacks.

What is this...

Carol was startled.

Not only she, but countless onlookers also noticed, some immediately guessing what was happening.

Was Messiah about to use that ability?

As they wondered, a terrifying scene unfolded: within a kilometer, the sunlight twisted uniformly!
