Chapter 262

As people noticed the spectacle, countless individuals began moving toward the center of the light, eager to see what was happening.

Before long, people outside this city also noticed the phenomenon.

"Friends, are you seeing this? That spot is the center of the light! We're going over now to check it out and see what's going on!" said a young man in a blue jacket, recording the scene on video.

As the video was uploaded online, it sparked conversations in other cities.

"What is this? Why is the sunlight in that place so intense?"

"Is this a movie scene? Is there a new film coming out?"

"Special effects?"

Initially, viewers thought it was fake, maybe some movie effect, but the longer they watched, the more it felt real—unlike special effects.

It wasn't just one person; nearly everyone watching felt the same.

Soon, as the video host explained, viewers became more shocked.

This was real?

A radiant spectacle covering an entire city?

What was going on?!

The news of the phenomenon spread rapidly, capturing the attention of more and more people.

Naturally, S.H.I.E.L.D. and other agencies took notice as well.

"Tony, I need you to check this out," Nick Fury urgently contacted Iron Man.

At Stark Tower, Tony Stark responded instinctively, "Why are you calling me? I'm busy…"

Before he could finish, Fury replied sternly, "Tony, this is serious. This mysterious phenomenon has already affected an entire city. If it gets worse, everyone in the city could be in danger, Tony…"

Listening to Fury's persistent demands, Tony sighed, "Fine, I'm going. Just stop talking, Fury."

Soon after, a red suit shot up from Stark Tower, flying toward the city.

It wasn't just S.H.I.E.L.D.; Hydra, the military, and Alessandro Base's experimental department all sent people to investigate.

While the citizens moved toward the center of the phenomenon and various agencies mobilized, a transformation was taking place at the very center, now bathed in light.

Syd floated in the air, surrounded by an endless glow.

At that moment, the Venom symbiote, which had been dormant in his right hand, couldn't withstand the transformation and woke up, quickly emerging from his hand.

Venom extended its small, black head, staring at the sight in shock.

"Syd, what are you up to now?"

Syd seemed to experience strange changes every so often, almost like a human female's periodic cycle. Now, what was he doing this time?

Venom was utterly bewildered.

Meanwhile…

A mysterious warmth flowed through Syd's body, enhancing his Divine Body and causing astonishing changes.

His bones, muscles, and skin grew denser.

His body grew more perfect, his appearance more flawless…

A mysterious aura enveloped him…

The blood within his body transformed entirely into gold, radiating a brilliant glow filled with potent energy.

At this moment, his body had fully evolved into that of an Aesir!

Endurance, strength, defense… everything surged!

Though he hadn't tested his current defense, Syd was confident that ordinary beings could no longer harm him, nor even leave a scratch.

Even bullets and ammunition should be ineffective against him.

As for powerful weapons like missiles, he wasn't entirely sure, as he hadn't tested them.

Setting aside untested capabilities, Syd's attention turned to his need for oxygen.

Previously, even with a Level 4 Divine Body, he still fell within the limits of ordinary life forms and required oxygen. Going into outer space would have been fatal. But now…

Curious, Syd held his breath, ceasing his need for oxygen.

Ten seconds…

Ten minutes…

Thirty minutes…

As half an hour passed, Syd was in a very good mood.

He realized that even after not breathing for thirty minutes, he felt no discomfort!

It wasn't like holding his breath and enduring with stamina.

Syd mused, somewhat uncertain, "Maybe… I really don't need oxygen anymore?"

Since he now possessed the true body of the Aesir, with stamina at a superhuman, terrifying level, he wondered if he was simply in a stage of endurance.

After a moment's hesitation, he decided to test his theory by taking the Tesseract out of his backpack.

Imagining the desolate landscape of the moon, the Tesseract glowed with a blue light, and spatial ripples appeared.

Syd vanished from his location and appeared on the lunar surface.

Looking up, he saw a vast, dark, and foreboding expanse of space.

Looking down, he noticed the gray-white soil, while the sunlight from afar cast a silver glow over everything.

The scenery was decent at first, but soon felt desolate.

However, Syd wasn't here to enjoy the view; he focused entirely on the changes in his body.

The last time he had come to the moon, he had to return to Earth within seconds due to his physical limitations. Now…

Syd was surprised to find his body felt perfectly fine.

It felt as if he were still on Earth—no discomfort, no change at all…

"I can actually survive in space?"

Syd was astonished.

Could he even be considered a living organism anymore?

Syd suspected that even if he stopped eating and drinking, he would still be fine.

He felt his body perpetually brimming with energy, as if he would never tire.

Perhaps he might feel exhausted in battle, but for daily life, he probably never would.

Is this what it means to be divine?

Unconsciously, Syd attempted to move, only to find himself floating into the air.

Without using Orochi's levitation or chaotic magic…

"A floating ability…"

Syd murmured.

This floating ability felt innate, like breathing air—a natural-born talent.

He tested it out.

He disappeared from his original spot and reappeared in the distance.

After a while, Syd had roughly determined the data.

The flying speed of his Divine Body seemed to be influenced by the intensity of his light-based power and divinity. Overall, it wasn't as fast as Orochi's levitation.

However, the energy consumption was lower, as if his Orochi levitation was constantly in a sustained state.

For now, his abilities' speed hierarchy was as follows:

Levitation > Divine Body > Chaos Magic…
