Chapter 261

[1500PS REACHED!!]

"The Extremis virus from Iron Man 3?"

Observing the two people in front of him, Syd felt a bit curious.

The Extremis virus—this thing could even rival the Super Soldier Serum that was injected into Captain America.

Not only did it grant its host remarkable regenerative abilities, but it also provided the strength to tear apart Tony's Mark armor barehanded.

Syd recalled that Tony Stark's Mark armor was literally torn apart by a villain infused with the Extremis virus.

Of course, while the virus had its advantages, it came with significant side effects. The user's body temperature would rise to extremely high levels, which could be both a benefit and a drawback. If one couldn't handle it, their body would explode.

Glancing at them briefly, Syd lost interest.

The Extremis virus? It was just that. He wasn't about to waste time acquiring something like this.

Not to mention the possible adverse reactions that could arise from injecting such a bizarre virus into his Divine Body.

Given the time required to endure the adaptation phase of the Extremis virus, it would be more worthwhile to practice his abilities. By then, his Divine Body might even reach Level 5.

Besides, Syd doubted it would be as effective on him. Different bodies had different constitutions. While the virus might regenerate an ordinary person, it didn't necessarily mean it would work for his Divine Body, which was on a whole other level.

As he pondered, the two men dressed in black nearby grew first wary, then surprised.

"White Cloak?"

With just a glance, they recognized the person in front of them.

But a second later, they dismissed the idea.

"Just another guy cosplaying White Cloak?"

Lately, they'd seen plenty of people trying to mimic White Cloak and Messiah, wanting to become them. They figured this guy was just another one of them.

While his outfit was indeed more convincing, they didn't think much of it.

Realistic one-to-one costumes had long been available for sale, and it wasn't rare to see dozens or even hundreds of people dressed like this on the streets.

Normally, they wouldn't give such a person a second thought, but things were different now.

Having just injected the Extremis virus, they were at the peak of excitement, itching to showcase their newfound strength.

They hadn't had a chance before, but now...

And since they were in an isolated alley, even if they killed this guy, no one would notice...

With that thought, their eyes gleamed. They exchanged a glance, both sharing the same idea.

"White Cloak, huh? Let's see how tough you really are!" George sneered, staring at the "White Cloak" in front of him with excitement.

This was White Cloak, after all. While they didn't believe this was the real one, it wouldn't hurt to pretend he was.

Just the thought of tearing apart the Omega-level mutant, White Cloak, thrilled them.

Who cared if he was White Cloak? They would still crush him underfoot, squeezing out every bit of satisfaction!

The next moment, their bodies glowed red as they roared and charged forward.

Watching the two charge at him, Syd's gaze was one of pity, as if he was watching a pair of fools.

Did they have their brains scrambled?

Syd's right hand moved slightly, emitting a red glow.

Instantly, the two men, strengthened by the Extremis virus, froze in place, unable to move an inch.

"You…"

George and his companion, who had been excited and menacing a moment ago, were now stunned and shocked.

Seeing the red glow radiating from White Cloak's hand, they were struck dumb.

"You… you're actually White Cloak?!"

They stared in disbelief.

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them, filling their faces with horror and dread.

How could this really be White Cloak?!

Why would White Cloak suddenly appear in a place like this?

George's mind filled with fear and regret, blaming this bizarre encounter. If they hadn't come to this desolate alley, they wouldn't have met him, nor would they have had the nerve to provoke him…

And didn't they inject the Extremis virus? Why couldn't they put up any resistance? They couldn't even move! Was an Omega mutant really this strong?

George and his companion were left in disbelief.

Syd looked at them, speechless.

The next moment, he moved his right hand slightly, and the red glow flashed.

Syd was just about to reduce these two senseless fools into dust, but before he could exert much force, there were two loud explosions. Their bodies, affected by the Extremis virus, lost stability and exploded on the spot.

Luckily, they were wrapped in chaotic magic, or he would have been covered in the aftermath.

Shaking his head, he didn't bother looking at the remnants, and turned to leave the area, mumbling to himself, "No need to thank me, Tony Stark. I just helped you deal with two enemies."

As he thought this, his figure faded into the distance.

As for the Extremis virus, he had no desire to get involved. Tony Stark could handle it on his own.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was midday the following day.

The sun was high, spilling sunlight across the western hemisphere.

[Ability: Divine Body (1999/2000) Level 4]

In a secluded alley, Syd stood under the sunlight, eyes opening.

A notification sounded.

[Divine Body Experience +1]

With the sound of the notification, the information on his Divine Body changed.

[Ability: Divine Body (Max/Max) Level 5]

In an instant, a vision appeared!

The sky, previously cloudy, suddenly cleared, revealing a pristine blue sky and a radiant golden sun.

Syd's body began to float into the air, despite not using any flight or chaotic magic.

It was as if he possessed an innate ability to levitate, with no need for the ground beneath him.

Sunlight gathered from all directions, and the alley was instantly bathed in brilliant light.

No, it didn't stop there. In mere moments, the entire city was engulfed in gentle sunlight, turning it into a sea of light.

Everyone in the city, whether sipping coffee, shopping, or going about their day, froze.

What was happening? Where was this light coming from?

One after another, people looked up, only to be met with pure, unrelenting light.

Those in taller buildings saw even more.

In the distance, a spot where the light converged most intensely became visible.

If the sunlight around them was a mere fraction, that spot was a hundredfold, obscuring all else and covering everything in blinding brilliance!

"What's happening over there?"

A sense of awe spread through the city.

Soon, more and more people noticed the phenomenon.

Many couldn't resist and began moving towards the light, eager to discover its source.
