Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 238: Chapter 238



Even though the image was blurry, the mysterious man in black looked all too familiar to everyone present.

"Messiah?"

"How is that possible? It's really him?"

Countless U.S. military officers were left shocked and in disbelief.

That terrifying explosion was caused by Messiah? When did Messiah gain such a mutant ability?

That explosion destroyed an entire military base!

If Messiah had used his familiar mutant abilities, they might not have thought much of it. But this unfamiliar power...

Had Messiah gotten stronger, or had he awakened new mutant abilities?

"That's impossible! How could something like this happen?!"

"He must have used some kind of trick!"

Voices of discussion filled the room.

"Maybe the footage is wrong? Perhaps it's not Messiah, just someone who looks like him?" Just as someone suggested this, they suddenly received a distress signal from another base. As the screen switched to the other base, they saw the one person they didn't want to see. Floating above the base was the mysterious man in black-Messiah.

At this moment, his hands were glowing with blue light.

Under the horrified gazes of countless people, Messiah wielded a massive blue energy beam over a hundred meters long, casually slicing through the military base as if it were a toy, showing no urgency or effort.

No matter how the base's personnel retaliated-whether by launching missiles or anything else-Messiah remained unmoved, continuing to calmly cut through the base.

The officers on-site were clearly terrified, their faces full of dread.

Soon, the entire base was reduced to rubble, with every officer perishing in despair.

Watching this scene, the officers present shuddered.

At the same time, they came to a realization.

The person who destroyed the previous base was indeed Messiah!

They were filled with disbelief.

Alongside their terror, they were also burning with anger.

"Damn it!"

This Messiah had become more and more arrogant. If this continued, he'd be uncontrollable! Did he think they had no means of dealing with him?

If pushed to the brink, they might as well drop a nuclear bomb on him and wipe him out!

They refused to believe that anyone, even Messiah, could survive a nuclear explosion!

Soon, an enraged general gave the order to take countermeasures.

Each military base began setting traps, in one form or another.

As long as Messiah dared to approach, at the moment he destroyed a base, the traps would be triggered!

Some of the traps were powerful enough to destroy everything within a ten-kilometer radius -they didn't believe Messiah could survive that!

Some bases were even empty, with not a single person inside. If Messiah got close, they'd detonate, burying him in the explosion!

Unfortunately for them, just as they were fuming and eager for revenge, Syd seemed to sense something and halted his destruction of the military bases.

It was getting dark in New York.

In a shadowy corner, Syd deactivated his invisibility.

Having destroyed two military bases, he had vented his anger and reached the current limits of what he could do. Now, he pondered what to do next.

At that moment, the Venom symbiote, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly emerged from his hand.

Seeing Venom's small head, Syd asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Venom replied seriously, "Syd, something's not right!"

"I can sense danger approaching. The longer time passes, the stronger this feeling becomes!"

"There might be some kind of conspiracy targeting us!"

As Venom had spent more time bonding with Syd, it had grown stronger.

Of course, there were costs to this strength-Venom had become dependent on Syd, much like humans need oxygen. Venom could survive apart from Syd for short periods, and it could still be powerful, but if separated for too long, it would be like a fish out of water, and its powers would falter, potentially leading to its death.

However, Venom didn't care-its growing power was intoxicating, making it eager for more. If anyone tried to separate them, Venom would be the first to fight back.

Besides, staying with Syd had greatly enhanced Venom's danger sense. Right now, its

instincts were screaming that a threat was drawing closer.

And considering its current strength, which even Venom didn't fully understand, for it to feel danger was highly unusual.

Clearly, this was no ordinary threat it was something significant, possibly aimed directly at

Syd.

Otherwise, Venom wouldn't feel such an intense sense of impending danger.

Hearing Venom's warning, Syd paused in thought.

As time passed, danger was approaching?

After a brief moment of reflection, he quickly pieced things together.

It was probably the military scheming again...

"It seems I can't afford to slow down in getting stronger..." Syd muttered to himself.

Despite his current strength, it was still not enough. If he stopped growing stronger, he might fall into danger and be caught in others' schemes.

With that thought, Syd's resolve hardened.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Initially, he had been considering what to do after dealing with the military bases-whether

to practice his abilities or gather energy points to continue unlocking Baldur's powers.

Now, he realized he could do both while focusing on gathering something else.

And what would offer the quickest, most significant increase in strength?

The Infinity Stones, of course!

If he could collect all six, their combined power might elevate him to the cosmic level!

Syd estimated that his current strength was close to that of a Skyfather.

And beyond the Skyfather level was the cosmic tier-the level of power granted by the six Infinity Stones combined.

"Unfortunately, the Infinity Stones have been weakened for various reasons. Right now, they

can only reach the cosmic level..."

While the Stones were external objects, having them would give Syd additional protection until his true power grew further.

As he thought about it, Syd couldn't help but recall the looming crisis and the hidden Celestial inside Earth's core.

Each of these threats posed a great danger, making the collection of the Infinity Stones all the

more urgent.
