Chapter 267

Venom stared at the sky, dumbfounded.

The entire sky was ablaze with brilliant light!

Everywhere he looked was covered in light, a scene that felt strangely familiar.

After all, they'd just experienced a similar event a few days ago.

However, as Venom continued watching, he felt that something was different.

This time, the phenomenon seemed to cover a much larger area.

At that moment, Venom recalled a distant memory of a similar scene from even earlier.

Back then, the light had spread across the entire Earth—could it be happening again?

As Venom grappled with surprise and confusion, both the western hemisphere in daylight and the eastern hemisphere in night, along with every other region, were once again enveloped in radiant light!

Pedestrians on the streets looked up in shock, and people who had been sleeping were startled awake by the intense light seeping through their windows.

"What's going on?"

"Why is the sky covered in light again?"

Billions of people were both amazed and reminded of a similar scene from some time ago.

To verify their suspicions, countless people started checking the news.

"Is the Earth enveloped in light again?"

"An incredible phenomenon appears once more!"

One after another, news articles were pulled up, and many people confirmed their suspicions, falling deeper into wonder.

During the first event, they had been utterly perplexed, but this time, they had an idea of what was happening! People began discussing it.

"If I remember correctly, the last time something like this happened globally, it was linked to White Cloak, right?"

"Yeah, everyone was saying White Cloak was behind that phenomenon!"

Many remembered that White Cloak supposedly had the title of God of Light. "So, does that mean this phenomenon is White Cloak's doing again?"

Once they pieced the logic together, countless people were left in disbelief.

A phenomenon this extraordinary, happening not once but twice? How was White Cloak achieving this?

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

"How does this guy have such power?" Nick Fury muttered in disbelief, his mind filled with confusion and concern.

Such a massive, mystical phenomenon—how could it keep occurring? Just how powerful was White Cloak?

At that moment, Fury couldn't help but wonder if White Cloak was truly hiding more strength than he'd shown.

A bald, middle-aged agent nearby, monitoring data, voiced a similar thought, "Director, could this be what an Omega-level mutant's true power looks like?"

"Has White Cloak been hiding his real strength?"

"Could even Messiah be concealing the bulk of his power?"

"Could their true strength be enough to destroy the entire Earth?"

The surrounding agents shuddered, and even Fury had to admit this possibility was unsettling.

Of course, he preferred to believe it was mere coincidence.

Shaking his head, he replied, "Impossible. Both Omega-level mutants, Messiah and White Cloak, have faced numerous crises and been in desperate situations—they don't seem like they're hiding anything…"

If they were truly that powerful, they would have long since eliminated the military forces constantly opposing them instead of showing such restraint.

The bald agent, named Dave, continued, "But what if it's all part of their disguise?"

"Director, they keep displaying bursts of power in critical moments, way beyond their previously shown strength. Isn't that suspicious?"

"It really does seem like they're hiding their true power!"

The agents around him paused, realizing there might be some truth to his words.

Nick Fury, though acknowledging the points made, still found inconsistencies, replying, "If they truly had the power to destroy Earth, they wouldn't limit themselves like this. Strength isn't so easily concealed…"

Up to this point, all gathered data indicated that the two of them hadn't hidden a significantly higher level of strength.

Most of the agents present preferred to trust Fury's analysis.

As they discussed, under the blanket of light, billions of people, along with animals and plants, felt an overwhelming sense of joy.

Not only that, but S.H.I.E.L.D. and other entities observed a startling scene.

Under the radiant glow, plants worldwide began sprouting, budding with fresh leaves, and blooming as if spring had arrived early, revitalizing everything.

This sight had not occurred during the last phenomenon!

"What's going on?"

Staring at satellite images, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were astonished.

While the agents remained puzzled, Nick Fury recalled something, his expression growing solemn.

He muttered, "In Norse mythology, Baldur, the God of Light, is also known as the God of Spring and Joy?"

"Could these myths be… true?"

Both Nick Fury and the agents who overheard him were left in shock.

While their emotions fluctuated, Thor, standing in New York City, was equally stunned.

Gazing at the endless brilliance, Thor was shaken. "This divine energy… Is that my brother?"

"My brother is truly this powerful?"

Watching the plants revive under the light, Thor's mouth dropped open.

Though he had experienced something similar before, knowing the phenomenon's source this time gave him a new perspective.

A mix of envy, admiration, excitement, and thrill filled his heart.

Meanwhile, Loki, hiding on Earth, watched with a shifting expression, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Kamar-Taj.

The Ancient One murmured, "It's him?"

Although she knew White Cloak had some ties to Asgard and seemed to embody a God of Light, even she was taken aback.

Was this really Asgard's God of Light? Since when were Asgard's gods this powerful? Wasn't this a bit much?

Even the Ancient One, with all her wisdom, felt a surge of wonder and doubt.

United States, Secret Military Base.

Several officers wore grim expressions.

The appearance of this spectacular phenomenon made them doubt the success of their upcoming plans.

Seeing their reactions, General Hoel spoke firmly, "Don't be fooled by this display. This is White Cloak trying to scare us, make us back down!"

"This isn't the first time White Cloak has pulled off something like this. Do you really think he's that powerful?"

Hearing General Hoel's words, the officers were momentarily stunned, then began to nod in understanding.

He was right—this wasn't the first time White Cloak had created such an exaggerated phenomenon. Last time, despite the spectacle, White Cloak's power hadn't seemed insurmountable.

After all, they were all still here, safe in the base, which was proof enough!
