Chapter 268

They thought to themselves, "This phenomenon must be a trick by White Cloak, trying to intimidate us and prevent us from acting!"

The more they considered it, the brighter their eyes gleamed, and their confidence reignited.

After all, they were too deep into the plan to back out now. They were one step away from eliminating Messiah and White Cloak, the "scourges of Earth." Even if they wanted to stop, the other nations supplying resources wouldn't allow it!

While various forces harbored mixed thoughts, the phenomenon occurring wasn't limited to Midgard (Earth); it extended across other realms like Jotunheim.

Outside the Royal Palace in Asgard.

Looking at the radiant sky, Odin murmured, "It's that child. Has he truly awakened his divine power?"

As he considered it, a sense of disbelief crept over him.

Could an awakening of divine power reach across realms like Midgard, Jotunheim, and the Nine Realms?

Even Hela's awakening hadn't caused such a phenomenon!

At that moment, Odin couldn't help but question his reality.

When did the power of the Aesir gods become this strong?

Beside him, Queen Frigga, understanding the implications, instinctively covered her mouth in surprise.

"That child, he…"

She gazed into the distance, watching as plants began to sprout and bloom.

This defiance of natural order, like the light enveloping all of Asgard, astonished Frigga.

At that moment, the people of Asgard were equally taken aback.

But unlike Asgard, other realms were even more bewildered.

Jotunheim.

In the dark, rugged, and desolate land of Jotunheim, realm of the Frost Giants, the phenomenon unfolded.

Seeing the long-lost warmth of sunlight returning, many Frost Giants felt a mix of joy and excitement.

More astonishingly, the once-barren Jotunheim was now sprouting new plant life.

Plants were budding and growing all around…

Watching this impossible scene, even the Frost Giants began questioning if it was an illusion.

"A true miracle!"

"Who has bestowed this upon us?"

More and more Frost Giants became thrilled and reverent.

This scene wasn't limited to the Frost Giants' realm; similar occurrences unfolded across all realms.

With it came an instinctive sense of reverence and worship for the being behind this miracle.

Many couldn't help but think:

Even the All-Father Odin of Asgard didn't possess such miraculous power, right? The more they pondered, the deeper their reverence grew.

Of course, the reverence was amplified by the light's effect on emotions. Anyone touched by the light felt a surge of joy and positivity.

Under the influence of this positive emotion, many found themselves worshipping unconsciously.

Streams of faith began converging toward Midgard at a breathtaking speed.

On Earth.

In the light-filled alley.

Suspended in mid-air and bathed in radiant energy, Syd felt the purest light energy coursing through him, accompanied by an intense, mysterious aura.

With his Light Power fully evolved, he sensed a remarkable change.

Syd felt an extraordinary increase in his control over light.

He even believed he could use light to create intricate illusions or even make people see hallucinations.

With this in mind, he began to experiment.

Under Venom's curious gaze, Syd opened his right hand.

He visualized Tony Stark's Mark armor in his mind.

In an instant, countless photons gathered, altering their wavelengths to form various colors.

Before long, a tiny red Mark suit, crafted entirely of light, appeared in his palm.

From the outside, it looked impossibly real, as though Tony Stark himself were standing on Syd's hand, without a trace of unreality.

The light figure could even move.

The next second, the light figure expanded to a life-size scale…

Venom was stunned.

Had Syd not conjured it right before his eyes, Venom might have thought that human named Tony Stark had actually appeared there.

Syd, ignoring Venom's amazement, was pleased.

"My intuition was correct—I've achieved an incredible level of control over light…"

Then, his gaze shifted to Venom, planning to test an illusion.

As Venom marveled at the scene before him, he suddenly saw his vision blur.

In the next moment, the sky darkened, and a grotesque, twisted black tentacle descended.

Venom's face filled with terror.

Just as he prepared to react, the tentacle vanished.

"Where… Where did the tentacle go?"

Venom looked around, confused.

Noticing Venom's bewildered expression, Syd was surprised.

"It actually worked?"

He had attempted to use light to create an illusion for Venom, and it had worked.

While it resembled a light projection, it was slightly different; only Venom could see this illusion.

After completing these tests, Syd's focus shifted.

The additional abilities from reaching Level 5 Light Power were impressive, but the most significant part was the overall enhancement in strength each ability received due to the Light Power's upgrade!

"I wonder how fast my levitation is now?"

Syd's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Previously, his levitation speed was Mach 7. How fast would it be now?

Just as he was about to test his speed, he paused.

He felt an intense flow of belief coming toward him from all directions.

Faith energy?

Without further delay, Syd took out the Mind Stone to purify the belief energy.

The Mind Stone emitted a soft glow.

Quickly, notifications sounded one after another.

[Divinity Experience +1]

[Divinity Experience +1]…

His divinity experience increased rapidly.

[Ability: Divinity (1033/2000) Level 4]

Feeling his divinity quickly advancing toward Level 5, Syd's eyes gleamed with anticipation.

"I wonder, if Level 5 Divinity will grant me immunity to the mental corruption of that ancient eldritch god?"

Sensing the continuous influx of belief energy around him, Syd was confident he could reach Level 5 Divinity within a day!

With this resolved, he refocused on testing his newly leveled Light Power.

Ten minutes later, holding a stopwatch, he arrived at an open space.

Feeling the unprecedented divine energy within him, Syd activated his levitation.

The next second, with a boom, he appeared at a distant point almost instantly, as if teleporting.
