At this moment, the figure standing on the clouds in their eyes flickered and then disappeared, as if it had never been there, making them wonder if it was all just an illusion.

"It probably wasn't an alien..."

"Was that the Messiah just now?"

A man named James hesitantly said.

Hearing this, the others thought back carefully and realized it did look a lot like the Messiah.

Although he had a new outfit, it was still black overall, and given his recognizable appearance, they quickly figured it out.

"It's most likely the Messiah!"

"I think so too..."

As the passengers were discussing, a flight attendant exclaimed, "This is ten thousand meters high, and the Messiah can actually survive here?"

Hearing this, the others realized something was off.

Indeed, this was ten thousand meters high.

For a moment, they couldn't help but be amazed in their hearts.

No wonder he was one of the only two Omega mutants, his abilities were indeed terrifying and powerful.

If it was the Messiah, walking in the sky at ten thousand meters was only to be expected.

Speaking of the Messiah, someone started talking about recent events.

"The Messiah is powerful, but wasn't he overshadowed by the White Robe Freak?"

"The Omega ability of the White Robe Freak seems to be much more terrifying and powerful."

"I heard the military even defeated him. I wonder if the Messiah can withstand the military's attacks..."

The previous man, James, sighed a few more times.

The Messiah was powerful, but ultimately no match for military missiles.

After all, as long as he was still a living being, he couldn't possibly withstand the siege of various high-powered weapons.

While they were discussing, Syd was hiding in the clouds, pondering things.

"Levitation Flight level five, Chaos Magic level four, Black Particle level four, Reflective Shield level four. What should I upgrade next?"

After a moment's thought, Syd decided to upgrade the Spirit Energy Beam.

He had to admit, the Spirit Energy Beam was very useful after the upgrade, being able to fire from his hand.

Although not as terrifyingly powerful as the Black Particle, it was much more useful when facing a crowd.

After deciding what to upgrade next, Syd looked up at the sky with some hesitation.

Staying here increased the recovery speed of his photon energy by at least a third. If he stayed here, his power would grow much faster.

But doing so would also expose him to unknown dangers.

For example, being discovered by the American military and bombarded with missiles again.

Thinking about the plane he encountered earlier, Syd decided to play it safe and return to the city once his photon energy was fully restored.

Time passed quickly, and soon his photon energy was fully restored.

[Photon Energy +1]

At this moment, Syd felt his photon energy was fuller than ever before.

If the previous level four abilities allowed him to use it about one hundred and ten times, now he could use it around one hundred and sixty times, a significant increase.

His photon energy had increased by nearly half!

If he were to face another missile bombardment, he could handle it with ease just by relying on his photon energy.

Of course, although the increase in photon energy was nice, Syd still felt it was a bit lacking.

Levitation flight was fine with its constant state having minimal consumption, but if other abilities were upgraded to level five, the photon energy might not be enough.

Thinking about this, Syd shook his head.

"Let's increase my strength first. Photon energy will increase over time."

The next second, a sonic boom sounded, and Syd's figure rapidly descended toward the ground.

In less than a minute, he was back in the city.

[Spirit Energy Beam Experience +1]

Syd began practicing the Spirit Energy Beam.

Shortly after he left, a few fighter jets appeared in the area he had been, patrolling the skies.

After searching for a while without finding anything, they withdrew from the area.

However, although the fighter jets left, a satellite quietly focused on the area, monitoring it in real-time, ready to alert the monitoring personnel at any sign of abnormality.

Fortunately, Syd left early; otherwise, he might have been discovered.

Time flew by, and soon five days had passed. During Syd's hiding, nothing significant happened.

Meanwhile, a prompt sounded in his ear.

[Spirit Energy Beam Experience +1]

[Ability: Spirit Energy Beam (0/2000) Level Four]

With the Spirit Energy Beam upgraded to level four, not only was his internal gene modified by a warm current, becoming more complex, but his photon energy also increased again.

Ignoring the photon energy, Syd focused on the Spirit Energy Beam.

[Spirit Energy Beam Experience +1]

The next second, blue light blossomed in his right hand.

Boom!

A nearly thirty-meter blue beam of light flashed, plowing the ground instantly.

"This range..."

Syd was somewhat surprised.

If this was aimed at a crowd, wouldn't it kill a lot of people?

Syd felt it was quite good.

Besides the ultimate move "Sunshine," he finally had another large-scale attack, making up for a not-so-small deficiency.

At least, he wouldn't be forced to use "Sunshine" and drain his photon energy when surrounded.

Just as Syd was about to continue testing, his keen hearing picked up the sound of unfamiliar footsteps in the distance.

His figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

Not long after, seven fully armed, well-trained men who didn't look like ordinary people appeared.

"There's a high-energy reaction here, it's astonishing."

A woman in her thirties, wearing a black uniform and holding an instrument, stared solemnly at a deep scratch on the ground.

The other six members scanned the surroundings.

After observing for a while and confirming there was nothing suspicious, a burly man with a brown beard, Brian, muttered, "This scratch looks familiar, like I've seen something similar before?"

Thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized something, eyes widening in surprise, "Uh, this scratch looks a bit like the one left by the Messiah?"

Hearing this, the team members examined it closely and indeed found it familiar.

They had seen similar marks before; it seemed to be one of the Messiah's abilities.

"Brian, are you saying this was left by the Messiah?"

Another middle-aged teammate, Fermi, joked.

He didn't believe it was left by the Messiah, thinking it was just a coincidence.

"Uh..." Brian smiled awkwardly, thinking he might be overthinking it.

But just as they all felt they were overthinking, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind them.

"Who's there?"

Everyone turned, alert and ready.
