As the warm flow coursed through him, Syd felt his cells undergoing some changes.

At this moment, Venom, who was in Syd's right hand, was startled. A sense of threat swept over him, making him instinctively crawl out of Syd's hand.

The black liquid wriggled.

"What's happening?"

"Syd's body…"

Just a moment ago, Venom felt Syd's body undergoing an inexplicable change, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.

When the sense of threat subsided, Venom crawled back into Syd's right hand. Before he could ask what had happened, he immediately noticed a difference.

A much more comfortable feeling washed over him, and Venom felt his weakened body, from splitting, rapidly recovering.

Venom was stunned.

"Syd, what happened to you?" he asked, confused.

He felt more and more baffled by Syd. Everything about Syd was puzzling to him.

Syd didn't answer him and instead began testing his abilities.

As the light energy within him decreased, the sunlight within seventy-five meters slightly distorted.

Syd frowned slightly, "It only improved this much?"

Feeling a bit disappointed, he shook his head and consoled himself.

"Never mind, it's still pretty good, just enough!"

As his other abilities upgraded and his internal light energy increased, the range of Sunshine would also expand. Overall, it was sufficient.

Besides the significant increase in the range of Sunshine, he also noticed changes in his internal light energy.

Under the sunlight, Syd quietly waited for his internal light energy to recover.

[Photon Energy +1]

[Photon Energy +1]

Feeling the light energy within him, Syd roughly estimated.

"A Level 3 ability can be used about fifty times, while Level 2 can be used over a hundred times."

Overall, it was just enough.

Of course, delving deeper, it was still insufficient…

"Sunshine has upgraded, so I can now focus on the unlock progress."

Syd's eyes filled with anticipation.

Whether it was the potential floating and flying ability or the possible changes upon reaching 100% mimicry, he was eagerly looking forward to it.

Additionally, the more abilities awakened, the more light energy his body would have, creating a positive feedback loop!

[Photon Energy +1]

[Photon Energy +1]

The energy points continuously increased.

While Syd was collecting light energy, Venom was feeling suspicious.

Earlier, he sensed the sunlight above him changing, thinking Syd was about to use that terrifying ability, causing him to shrink back into his hand.

After waiting for a while without seeing the terrifying light appear, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he was a bit puzzled.

He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but compared to last time, the distortion range of the sunlight seemed to have increased by two or three times?

"Was it just my imagination?" Venom muttered.

While he was puzzled, he saw Syd stop practicing his ability and turn to face the sunlight.

Venom immediately guessed what Syd was doing.

"Is he absorbing sunlight to recover energy and stamina?"

In amazement, he watched as Syd remained motionless, basking in the sun for an entire afternoon.

Seeing Syd's increasingly perplexing actions, Venom found humans more and more incomprehensible.

Are all human behaviors this strange? 

Is it necessary to bask in the sun for an entire afternoon? 

Shouldn't he have already recovered his energy and stamina?

As the sun completely set, Syd finally stopped sunbathing.

He looked at the panel, focusing on the energy points section.

[Energy Points: 5079]

Seeing the five thousand plus energy points, Syd felt quite good.

He glanced at the unlock progress.

[Unlock Progress: 80%]

Syd focused, allocating all his energy points to the unlock progress.

In the next second, the unlock progress jumped.

[Unlock Progress: 82%]

"It only increased by two percent?" Syd shook his head.

After a brief disappointment, he became excited again.

"Almost there, by tomorrow it should reach 85%. I wonder what ability I'll gain?!"

"And what changes will occur after reaching 100% mimicry, as well as the next mimicry target, Scarlet Witch…"

"Chaos Magic…"

Thinking of Chaos Magic, his eyes lit up.

It is one of the three ancient powers in Marvel, possessing the terrifying power to alter reality!

Of course, that's only accurate when combined with Scarlet Witch's mutant ability to alter probabilities, making Chaos Magic truly formidable.

Even the original owner of Chaos Magic didn't possess this power.

In short, the abilities present in Scarlet Witch would keep him busy exploring for a long time.

"I just hope it doesn't involve the Dark God Chthon…"

Syd frowned slightly.

Chaos Magic has some ties to the Dark God Chthon, and if he really mimicked it, who knows if it would attract Chthon's attention.

If it did attract attention, that would be a big problem…

That's an ancient god, not easy to deal with!

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

He couldn't abandon the unlock progress over a potential threat.

Looking at the dim sky, Syd stepped away.

Not long after he started walking, Venom in his right hand alerted him.

"Be careful!"

Syd frowned, immediately understanding that Venom had sensed trackers again.

In recent days, he had noticed many people searching for him. Besides government agents, there were also others with ill intentions.

Fortunately, Venom's sensing ability was quite advanced, especially regarding danger.

Usually, those people hadn't spotted him before Venom sensed them in advance.

"Where are they?" Syd asked.

"Behind the wall to your left," Venom replied.

Syd moved quietly to the wall and listened.

The voices of two middle-aged men faintly came from the other side.

"Damn, where is that kid!"

"If it weren't for the money and the promise of a big reward upon finding him, I wouldn't be wasting my time on this stupid task."

A burly man in a blue shirt, Dave, complained, "That underground organization's mission is such a hassle…"

The other man in a white t-shirt responded, "Keep your voice down, will you? Do you want everyone to hear?"

"If the target escapes because of you, I'll beat you up!"

Dave grumbled, "What's the big deal? We haven't found him after all this time. No way we'll run into him now. You're overthinking…"

As they mumbled, Syd paused, stopping his plan to interrogate them.

"Underground organization?"

In an instant, he thought of the killed Carlpana and the escaped speedster.
