Brotherhood of Mutants.

"Another mutant with extraordinary potential."

Magneto, marveled, feeling genuinely pleased to see another powerful comrade emerge.

This further proved that humans were an outdated species that needed to be eliminated; only mutants were the future!

With this thought, he grew curious about what the person under the white garb looked like. Was he an older man or, like Messiah, a very young individual?

Luxury Villa.

Tony Stark, wore a serious expression, pondering whether his Iron Man suit could defeat this guy.

After thinking for a while, he felt disappointed to realize that, as of now, he probably couldn't beat him.

He decided that once the Anti-Messiah armor was created, he would prioritize building an armor specifically designed to counter this white-clad individual.

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Watching the live video, Fury's single black eye showed both fear and desire.

Hydra leader Pierce grew increasingly interested, feeling more and more satisfied with this future tool.

While various factions had different thoughts, after Syd had dealt with the Sentinels, he sensed a significant amount of light energy still remaining in his body and looked ahead.

The ten soldiers in the distance, seeing the Sentinels fail, immediately started to flee.

They knew they were no match for the freak in the distance, and shooting would be futile, so they chose to retreat.

The next second, red light spread across the ground.

Bang, bang, bang...

Bricks and dirt floated up.

Then, they flew towards the ten fleeing soldiers.

"Ah..."

The soldiers were buried under the bricks and dirt.

Syd's hands glowed red, ready to fly away from there.

But before he could, he noticed something flying overhead.

The surroundings had quieted down, making the drones more noticeable.

The hundreds of thousands of viewers watched in horror as the mysterious figure in white seemed to give them a cold glance. His hands then glowed red.

With a whoosh, several energy blasts flew out.

Boom, boom, boom!

Drone debris fell from the sky.

Syd's figure moved, and his pure white form quickly flew away.

It was only after he had disappeared for a while that people dared to clean up the battlefield.

As Syd flew, the various factions increased their attention on him, secretly plotting different schemes.

Syd was aware of this but had no choice. With the Sentinels targeting him, he had to destroy those things.

Even though greater danger might come later, that was a problem for the future.

At this moment, Syd was feeling a strange sensation within him, frowning slightly.

At some point, a faint whispering had reached his ears, as if trying to communicate with him.

Syd shook his head, confirming it wasn't an auditory hallucination. His expression changed.

Fortunately, the strange whispering disappeared after a short while.

Despite this, Syd thought a lot in that brief moment and even came up with a plausible guess.

"The Dark God of Magic, Chthon?" His face looked slightly grim.

He had long been wary of enhancing chaos magic, fearing it might attract the attention of the Dark God. And now it seemed his fears had come true.

Wanda's chaos magic had countless connections with Chthon. It was said that shortly after Wanda was born, Chthon had influenced her, giving her chaos magic.

In other words, the source of chaos magic was actually this Dark God, Chthon!

Of course, this referred to chaos magic without the probability manipulation that could alter reality.

Chthon had given Wanda chaos magic, hoping she would grow powerful enough to break his dimensional seal and possibly act as a vessel for his descent!

However, as Wanda grew, she broke free from his control, rendering his expectations and investments futile.

Another theory suggested that chaos magic was innate to Wanda, and Chthon had marked her out of interest in chaos magic.

Syd pondered, his face looking grim, "Chthon is far scarier than Dormammu..."

Opposite to Chthon were the three Vishanti, the trinity of white magic.

This gave an idea of Chthon's power.

"So, he's targeting me now?"

He could only say one thing...

"Who can understand the frustration of being stalked by a creepy, perverted guy at just sixteen years old? Looking for help, urgently!"

After pondering for a long time, Syd could only sigh.

Apart from striving to increase his strength, he couldn't think of any other solution.

He could only hope to grow strong enough to resist Chthon's schemes before the dark god made his move.

Thinking this, he felt a bit helpless, realizing chaos magic was indeed a big pitfall.

He could clearly feel that the chaos magic he had mimicked was entirely his own, unrelated to Chthon.

But even so, it still caught Chthon's attention?

It seemed that, in Chthon's eyes, he might be more attention-worthy and significant than the Scarlet Witch.

Syd thought, feeling helpless.

Half an hour later, he stopped in a small grove.

Time passed quickly, and it was soon evening.

Syd looked up at the distant sky.

Seeing the sun set completely, his urgent desire for power led him to focus on the new panel.

"I wonder what the God of Light, Balder, is like. What will I gain from enhancing the unlock progress?"

Curious and expectant, he looked at the new ability panel.

[Name: Syd Castell]

[Age: 16 (Remaining lifespan: 199 days)]

[Mutant Ability: Mimicry, Energy Absorption]

[Current Mimicry Target: Balder Odinson (Title: God of Light, Son of Odin)]

(Unlock Progress: 1%)

[Ability: (Not Unlocked)]

[Energy Points: 7963]

Seeing his remaining lifespan, Syd felt frustrated. Cancer seemed like an unshakable curse.

He was puzzled; with the significant amount of light energy in his body, how could he not cure a mere cancer?

Though it was a mix of several types of cancer, it still seemed too exaggerated!

As he pondered, his face changed slightly.

He vaguely remembered that cancer in the Marvel universe was considered a cosmic-level disease, extremely difficult to cure...

"Did I remember wrong?"

Syd's mouth twitched, feeling it was a bit unscientific.

After a while, he shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it.

As long as he continued to enhance his abilities, he would cure cancer one day!

His gaze shifted to other parts of the panel.

Aside from the 1% unlock progress, nothing else stood out. He needed to increase the unlock progress to see any special abilities.

Glancing at the remaining energy points, he allocated 1,200 points to the unlock progress.

The 1% progress blurred.

(Unlock Progress: 11%)

Meanwhile, a surprising notification appeared.

[Ability: Divine Physique (Unlocked)]

[Ability: Divine Physique (0/100) Level One]

In an instant, Syd felt his body enveloped in a warm current, different from before. The changes were more significant this time.

Bone density increased, and his blood gradually took on a golden hue, radiating light.

Muscles and skin tightened, minor flaws disappeared, and his whole body evolved towards perfection...

However, perhaps because Divine Physique was only at level one, the transformation wasn't complete, only progressing slightly.

Even so, Syd felt his body was different now.

His spirit was vigorous, as if he could stay up all night, his strength had increased significantly, and even some muscle had begun to form.

He was evolving from a fragile human body towards a divine physique.

"What's happening?" Venom was baffled, forced out of Syd's body.

Perhaps due to some form of corrosion, Venom's black body now glowed faintly with gold, looking somewhat comical.

Venom swore he had never encountered someone who could turn him into this bizarre state.

At this moment, he was questioning his existence.

"Syd is probably a monster, as humans say, right?"

He was both shocked by Syd's current transformation and filled with confusion, not understanding what strange changes were happening to him.

"My body..." Syd raised his right hand, pinching his left arm.

He could feel his body's resilience and density had significantly increased, in simpler terms, his defense had improved a lot.

"Divine Physique..." Syd murmured.

After testing, he found that although it was only at level one, his skin's defense was already comparable to that of a bull, and his strength was nearing that level too.

To put it simply, he was becoming a human-shaped beast.

Divine Physique filled many of his shortcomings.

Previously, a single bullet could kill him if he wasn't careful, emphasizing his fragile body.

But now, as Divine Physique gradually increased, he could compensate for this fragility, becoming a perfect six-sided warrior… or mage?

"Just 11% unlocked, and I already have Divine Physique. I wonder what else will come?"

Syd looked forward to the possibilities.

Most importantly, divine power would surely awaken eventually!

Having divine power made a huge difference!

"I wonder how much progress is needed," Syd thought expectantly.

Glancing at the remaining energy points, he eagerly allocated them all.

(Unlock Progress: 34%)

Nothing happened for a while.

Syd felt a bit disappointed but had no choice but to wait until the next day.

Afterward, he continued fleeing while trying to enhance Divine Physique.

He found that by running a newly emerged force within his body, possibly his blood, Divine Physique's experience would slowly increase.

[Divine Physique Experience +1]

[Divine Physique Experience +1]

While hiding, Syd noticed a square broadcasting news about Iron Man, Tony Stark.

Based on the information, he deduced that the current events were post-"Iron Man 2."

Shaking his head, he focused on enhancing Divine Physique.

[Divine Physique Experience +1]

[Ability: Divine Physique (235/500) Level Two]

The next evening, while Syd was practicing Divine Physique and sensing the changes in his body, a bright light beam descended from the distant sky in the dark night!

It seemed something had arrived on Earth!

Looking up at the distant scene, Syd was startled and murmured, "Thor?"
