With these thoughts, the tiger leaped out of the zoo's iron fence in a few bounds.

Then, it ran in the direction it remembered the man had left, hoping to find him.

If Syd were here, he would immediately recognize what was happening and feel exasperated. Ultimately, this had to do with his blood, though not entirely. While his blood was potent and could potentially enhance ordinary creatures, it could also kill them, but it wouldn't cause such a mutation.

The main cause of this mutation was Venom.

Since Venom was hosted on his right hand, and the tiger had scratched his right hand, some of Venom's tissue likely remained on the tiger's claw.

When the tiger ingested it, this scene naturally unfolded.

The entity now residing in the tiger was a mutated offspring of Venom, caused by Syd's blood.

If Syd had been present, he wouldn't have known how to handle this situation, which was connected to him yet beyond his control.

At that moment, Syd returned to the desolate park and sat on the swing.

"Let me check if Kaecilius has completed the task I assigned him."

Syd suddenly remembered that it had been a while since he checked on Kaecilius and the mission to steal energy weapons from SHIELD. He wondered about the progress.

Given the advantage of teleportation, there should have been some success, right?

With this thought, he used his mental connection to focus his consciousness on Kaecilius.

Upon tuning in, he saw Kaecilius and a few followers discussing whether to set up a magical ritual to communicate with him.

"Let's wait a bit longer. I believe the great demon god will notice us soon," Kaecilius decided. Seeing his decision, the others agreed and moved on to other topics.

"Has anyone found the remaining SHIELD weapon locations?" a slightly overweight follower in black asked curiously.

"SHIELD is very vigilant; it's hard to pinpoint the locations."

"Yes, our previous thefts have put them on high alert."

"Fortunately, we've collected quite a bit already. It should satisfy the demon god."

The followers discussed among themselves.

Overhearing this, Syd became curious and excited.

"From their conversation, it seems they've collected quite a few energy weapons."

Syd quickly scanned their surroundings.

Soon, he noticed a pile of energy weapons on an altar nearby, including standard energy guns and other peculiar designs.

In total, there were about seventy or eighty items!

"This should be enough!"

Seeing these weapons, Syd's eyes lit up.

"Kaecilius, bring the items to the designated location," he commanded in a voice resonant like a divine decree.

Kaecilius froze for a moment, then became excited.

"Yes, I will follow your instructions!" Kaecilius replied respectfully.

Quickly, Kaecilius used a portal to transport the energy weapons to Syd's designated location, pleasing him.

"This minion did well," Syd couldn't help but remark.

If he had done it himself, it would have taken much longer, and he might not have acquired as much.

Thinking this, he pondered what ability to lend Kaecilius this time.

After all, you have to give to receive. It wouldn't be fair to provide no benefits.

After some thought, he chose an ability he hadn't showcased much before.

Soul Extraction.

This ability, overshadowed by more useful ones, hadn't seen much use and was nearly forgotten.

While it seemed redundant to Syd, it would be invaluable to these sorcerers.

As long as they didn't face someone with a strong spirit or soul, like Professor X, ordinary

people hit by Soul Extraction would be almost certainly doomed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The soul would be pulled out, leaving no room for resistance.

With this in mind, Syd lent the ability to Kaecilius.

"This is the power I grant you, called Soul Extraction," a resonant voice echoed.

In the next moment, Kaecilius felt different, sensing a new ability within him.

"Is this astral projection?"

Kaecilius, familiar with out-of-body abilities, wondered if this was similar.

In Eastern terms, it would be like the soul leaving the body.

"No, it's not that simple..."

Using a portal, Kaecilius grabbed a wild boar and pulled his hand away.

His followers were amazed.

In Kaecilius' right hand was a blue energy orb containing a miniaturized boar-its soul.

Instinctively, Kaecilius tightened his grip slightly.

The blue orb shattered effortlessly.

Similarly, the boar's soul inside the orb shattered with a wail.

Kaecilius and his followers were astonished.

Such power!

Instantly, they thought of various combat techniques using this ability.

Using magic had its costs. Even white magic had side effects if overused.

These included taste disorders, nightmares, negative emotions, etc., making Kamar-Taj

sorcerers prefer close combat.

Thus, a close-range soul-extraction ability was more appealing than repulsive.

"I feel that using Soul Extraction has no cost," Kaecilius murmured.

It required only a bit of mental strength, physical energy, and magic.

His followers, hearing this, were even more envious.

It was evident that the lack of cost was due to the demon god not demanding a price.

At this moment, they contemplated how to please the demon god, hoping to receive such cost-free power and magic.

Syd, seeing their expressions, understood their thoughts but knew they were overly

optimistic.

Aside from abilities, the magical energy they called light energy was something he barely had

enough of for himself, let alone lend to them.

Even Kaecilius still borrowed magic from other dimensions for most spells.

Still, he didn't voice this, letting them dream on.
