The changes in Syd's appearance this time were much more significant than before. Even people familiar with him might be stunned for a moment before recognizing him.

Inside his body, his blood had almost completely turned golden, containing strange energy.

Even his cellular structure had changed.

At this point, his body was very close to that of an Asgardian god.

Just then, Syd's expression changed slightly as he felt a discomfort.

He could clearly feel that his body was fighting against something, causing him this discomfort.

In an instant, he guessed and sensed the truth.

"It's indeed because of the cancer cells..." Syd frowned.

It was only the cancer cells in his body that could make him feel this uncomfortable.

Clearly, the Divine Body was trying to eliminate those cancer cells, restoring them to normal cells.

If that was all, it would be fine. He could clearly feel a bizarre, twisted power rampaging through the cancer cells, preventing them from returning to normal.

"The Old God..." Syd's expression darkened.

Once his body calmed down, he looked at the lifespan section.

[Age: 16 (Remaining Lifespan: 131 days)]

Clearly, the cancer within his body was still present. Otherwise, with his divine physique, his lifespan should not be so limited.

"I wonder if those cancer cells will still exist when the Divine Body reaches level five..." Syd smirked.

He believed that once his Divine Body reached level five, his body would undergo a significant transformation, possibly completely ridding him of cancer!

He wondered if the Old God behind this would become enraged and powerless. Amused by the thought, Syd picked up a walnut-sized gray stone from the ground.

Then, he lightly squeezed his right hand.

With a cracking sound, Syd felt the stone in his hand shatter.

Opening his hand, he saw the stone had broken into several pieces.

He felt that with a bit more force, he could crush these pieces into powder.

Setting aside the distressing issue of cancer, he couldn't help but marvel at his body's current strength. The divine physique was truly astounding.

At level four, the Divine Body allowed him to easily crush stones without injuring his hand, demonstrating immense strength and defense.

To test his body's strength, Syd thought for a while and then went to a zoo he hadn't visited before.

Familiar with the layout, he approached a tiger in an unoccupied area and deliberately provoked it.

Roar! The tiger roared angrily, swiping its paw at the annoying person in front of it and even biting him.

But to the tiger's confusion, the person showed no signs of injury, nor did he move.

It was as if the tiger had clawed and bitten a stone...

This baffling scene left the tiger dumbfounded. It raised its paw and gently patted the person a few times, looking utterly silly.

Syd chuckled, shook his head, and left, not bothering to continue teasing the tiger.

"A level four Divine Body, and not even a tiger can break my defense..."

Syd mused.

"My strength has increased significantly. If I face Captain Marvel again, I wonder what the outcome would be."

Time passed quickly, and soon another ten days had gone by.

Sunlight streamed in through the window as Syd restored his light energy depleted from practice. Stretching, he looked at his stats with satisfaction.

In these ten days, due to his compulsive tendencies, he had upgraded all the Orochi abilities on his panel to level four, except for Spatial Transfer. Considering he had Floating Flight and the low consumption of level two Spatial Transfer, he hadn't chosen to upgrade it yet.

Moreover, the Light Divine Power was about to reach level four.

[Ability: Light Divine Power (806/1000) Level 3]

Syd was eagerly anticipating the Light Divine Power reaching level four.

[Light Divine Power experience +1]

[Divine Body experience +1]

As he continued operating his internal light energy, preparing to upgrade the Light Divine Power to level four, far away in a forest, a group of yellow-robed mages were conversing.

"Master Kaecilius, S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't reported any anomalies recently."

A burly man named Pelli said respectfully.

Kaecilius, the core figure surrounded by dozens of mages, frowned and murmured, "Still no changes..."

Hearing his murmur, a recently joined mage looked puzzled.

"Kaecilius, why are you so fixated on this mundane organization? Even if it's powerful and has interesting things, it shouldn't warrant your constant attention, right?"

"Are you trying to obtain something from S.H.I.E.L.D.? If so, we should just take it instead of all this trouble..."

As a newly joined mage, Yusis didn't understand why Kaecilius was doing this.

Kaecilius glanced at him and, after some thought, explained under the gaze of the other mages, "The great demon has foretold that S.H.I.E.L.D. will undergo changes."

Yusis hesitated, his eyes showing doubt.

He wasn't sure if the demon Kaecilius mentioned was real or just a ploy.

Despite being in the group for a while, he had never seen the demon.

Kaecilius hadn't even performed a ritual to communicate with the demon, always brushing him off with "the time isn't right," making him more suspicious.

"Can Kaecilius really contact an entity beyond time, a dimensional demon?"

Not just him, but the other nearly ten new mages also had doubts.

They had seen the pages Kaecilius had on the great being.

But those pages also mentioned that no one had successfully communicated with it.

Such entities were always mysterious, hidden, elusive, and unknowable.

Had Kaecilius really communicated with it? Moreover, they doubted the prophecy.

Could the mysterious demon Kaecilius mentioned really predict the future? Kaecilius, aware of their expressions, felt some doubt himself, unsure if the great demon's prophecy would come true.

As they continued discussing, a strange ringtone suddenly echoed in the quiet forest.

All eyes turned towards the source.

Pelli, the burly man, looked embarrassed as he awkwardly took out a cellphone from his clothes.

As soon as he answered, he heard surprising news.
