Just before noon, a notification echoed in Syd's ears.
[Sunshine Experience +1]
[Ability: Sunshine (0/2000) Level 4]
With the appearance of the notification, Syd immediately felt changes in his body.
A warm current spread throughout his body, his cells becoming increasingly complex and mysterious, filled with more energy.
The Venom symbiote, which had been dormant in his right hand, was instantly awakened by the surge of energy, sensing the threat and quickly transformed into a black liquid, crawling out from his right hand.
"Syd, what's happening to you again?"
"Uh, why did I say 'again'..."
Venom formed a black head and looked at Syd, whose entire body was faintly glowing, unsure of what to say.
How many times was this now?
Every so often, it seemed, Syd would undergo this kind of transformation. Syd ignored Venom, focusing on the changes happening within his body.
Apart from his internal light energy becoming more refined and his storage capacity increasing, he found that his control over sunlight seemed to have become easier.
"How far can I control sunlight with Level 4 Sunshine?" Syd wondered, eager to test it out.
[Sunshine Experience +1]
The next second, his internal light energy sharply decreased.
With a single thought, an astonishing phenomenon occurred! All the sunlight within sight twisted! The affected range was far greater than when Sunshine was at Level 3! After some calculations, Syd arrived at a startling conclusion.
Nearly one kilometer of sunlight was twisted!
"The range of Level 4 Sunshine is that vast?"
This leap in power left Syd astonished.
At Level 3, even with the boost from his internal light energy, Sunshine's range was just over a hundred meters. Now, how many times had it increased? Covering nearly one kilometer, even a normal person would have to take about fifteen hundred steps to exit this range!
He could hardly imagine the destruction this would cause if unleashed in a city.
After understanding the range, Syd canceled Sunshine, and the sharp decrease in his internal light energy stabilized.
"What about the specific power increase?"
Knowing the approximate range, Syd was curious about the decomposition speed of Level 4 Sunshine.
Unfortunately, Sunshine couldn't be casually used, so he couldn't directly observe the full effect.
At that moment, an idea struck Syd.
"I wonder how Sunshine compares to the Phoenix Force now?"
After contemplating for a while, he thought that while it might not surpass the Phoenix Force, it should be able to compete with it to some extent.
With this thought, Syd considered another question, "What about Level 5? What changes will Sunshine undergo at Level 5?"
He had a hunch that reaching Level 5 would bring unprecedented changes to Sunshine, distinct from previous levels. He was eager to reach Level 5 Sunshine and see the effects.
Having studied the changes in Sunshine, Syd focused on his unlocking progress, glancing at the panel.
(Unlock Progress: 44%)
"44%, but how much is needed to unlock the divine light power?"
"45%, 50%, 60%?"
Syd pondered.
Only when the divine power truly awakens can he be considered part of the divine race, like Thor before unlocking his power, who was just a hammer god, a physically strong alien. The difference between the two was enormous.
Syd was eager to collect energy points, but his internal light energy was currently depleted and needed to be replenished after the extensive use of Sunshine.
As the sun gradually set, his internal light energy rapidly recovered.
[Photon Energy +1]
With the notification, Syd's internal light energy was fully restored. At that moment, he noticed a significant increase in his light energy.
If using regular Level 4 abilities, he could now perform nearly two hundred times.
Syd shook his head, feeling exasperated, "This mana pool is still too sparse."
Level 4 Black Particle could only be used nearly two hundred times before he'd be drained, which seemed a bit underwhelming.
[Photon Energy +1]
[Photon Energy +1]
Syd continued gathering energy points, preparing to increase his unlocking progress while walking down a deserted street.
In his spare time, he glanced at the lifespan section on his panel.
[Age: 16 (Remaining Lifespan: 88 days)]
Last time he checked, his remaining lifespan was 81 days…
This meant that reaching Level 4 Sunshine only added seven days to his life?
No, considering the time spent leveling up, it meant that Level 4 Sunshine only increased his lifespan by about twenty days…
Syd frowned slightly, finding this cancer rather troublesome.
As he pondered, he suddenly heard sounds in the distance.
Faintly, he heard several people shouting.
"Run, Dario, leave me!"
"No way…"
Hearing these shouts, Syd grew curious.
"More thugs robbing people?"
In recent times, he had witnessed numerous incidents of street robberies, confirming the chaotic reputation of America where gunfights seemed a daily occurrence.
Of course, it might also be due to his frequent walks in remote, chaotic areas, but it didn't change Syd's perception of the mess and danger in America.
Thinking it over, he decided to check out the commotion.
As for intervening to save people, he mentally apologized, saying there was no such service, and he was merely bored and wanted to watch.
Moreover, there were plenty of superheroes around to help, like a certain web-slinging guy.
Approaching the scene, Syd emerged from the alley and looked towards the source of the noise.
He saw two young men running frantically down the street.
Chasing them was a large black robot, with a crowd of onlookers pointing and gesturing.
The pursuing robot looked familiar to Syd.
"Is that... a Sentinel?"
Syd was taken aback, immediately frowning.
How long had it been, and the government had already produced another batch of Sentinels?
And they were still deploying them to hunt and capture mutants...
Without a doubt, those two young men must be mutants.
Syd took a closer look at the two young men.
Just one glance, and he was momentarily stunned.
One was dressed in black, the other in white, both with masks and disguises covering their faces.
Recognizing their familiar outfits, Syd couldn't help but twitch a bit.
