Chapter 260: Chapter 260
Chapter 260: Chapter 260
Leonard, full of smug satisfaction, was just about to use his teleportation ability to transfer the white-clad warrior into the military's trap, when suddenly he found himself completely frozen, unable to move even a fraction.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a red glow enveloping his body.
Leonard knew from the intelligence reports that this red glow was one of the white-clad warrior's powers, specifically his telekinetic ability. It was clearly this red glow that was preventing him from moving.
More troubling still was the sudden fogginess in his mind, leaving him unable to even think of teleporting away.
Had he been mentally invaded?
At that moment, Leonard's disbelief grew stronger.
"How could I have been restrained by the white-clad warrior before even revealing myself?"
Just a moment ago, he had been smugly confident, thinking that a mere Omega-level mutant was nothing to him—a genetically enhanced human. He believed he could toy with the white- clad warrior with ease.
He had been so sure that as soon as he teleported the warrior into the trap, the warrior would be as good as dead. But now?
The situation was the exact opposite of what he had imagined-it couldn't have been more different!
Not only had he failed to teleport the white-clad warrior, but he was also trapped in place? "No, no, this can't be real!"
Leonard wanted to deny it all in his mind, but the reality was clear in front of him. Even self- deception couldn't change it.
"How did he detect me and restrain me? My teleportation is so fast..."
Leonard was still in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief and fear.
At that moment, he realized he could move his mouth and couldn't help but shout, "How did you find me, white-clad warrior?"
"No, you can't do this!"
But even as Leonard shouted, he realized the white-clad warrior had no intention of answering. Instead, his body was lifted into the air by the red glow.
Then he felt his body tightening.
In a daze, he saw the Sentinels crushed into piles of scrap metal in the distance, and realized his fate.
Syd watched as Leonard, wrapped in red light, slowly rose into the air. His right hand clenched slightly.
"No, argh!" Leonard screamed, his body creaking as if his bones were breaking.
So, this is the terror of an Omega-level mutant...
In his final moments, Leonard felt regret. Regret for coming to face the white-clad warrior, regret for underestimating an Omega-level mutant.
It wasn't until this moment that he truly understood the sheer horror of Omega-level mutants, and just how powerless one felt when facing them.
"Argh..."
Leonard's eyes were filled with remorse, fear, and hatred.
Seeing Leonard's expression, Syd grew tired of playing and clenched his fist tightly.
With a squelching sound, blood sprayed out, almost hitting him, but it was blocked by his Chaos Magic shield.
Leonard, or rather what was left of him, became a mangled mess.
With a slight motion of his right hand, Syd casually tossed Leonard's remains aside.
At that moment, a small black camera fell to the ground with a clink.
Syd glanced at the camera, unsurprised.
Had he not intentionally left it intact, even this metal camera would have been crushed into a pile of scrap.
Meanwhile, on the other side, watching everything through the camera, the military officers were stunned.
"Leonard failed?"
"That damn white-clad warrior!"
They gritted their teeth in frustration and regret.
A valuable military asset like Leonard had just been lost like that?
As they stewed in their anger and regret, the camera on the ground captured Syd's feet.
Syd took a glance at the camera on the ground, stepped forward, and slowly lifted his right foot.
What was he about to do?
The military officers were filled with disbelief.
The next moment, they watched as his foot got closer and closer to the camera, and then, with
a crunch, the feed went dark.
Clearly, the camera had been stomped to pieces by the white-clad warrior.
It wouldn't have been so bad if that were all, but the scene gave the military a certain impression.
It was as if they, like the camera, were nothing more than bugs to the white-clad warrior, crushed underfoot with no effort.
The military officers were convinced that someone as powerful as the white-clad warrior wouldn't have left the camera intact accidentally. They hadn't imagined this-his message
was clear.
The white-clad warrior was telling them that they, too, would be crushed like bugs under his
foot.
Realizing this, the military officers and generals erupted with anger.
"That damn Omega-level mutant, that damn white-clad warrior!"
"How arrogant, absolutely arrogant!"
"So insolent! Does he not even care about our military?"
At that moment, they gnashed their teeth in fury, wishing they could tear the white-clad
warrior apart.
"Get him to the trap site. I want him dead!" one general roared in frustration.
While the military was busy plotting how to lure the white-clad warrior into their trap, Syd, after crushing the camera, scanned the surroundings to ensure no one was watching. Then he
took out the Tesseract.
In the next moment, the Tesseract glowed brightly.
With a flash of blue light and a ripple in space, Syd vanished.
The next second, he appeared in a familiar place-one of the alleys he had passed through
before.
Taking advantage of the fact that those nuisances couldn't find him for now, Syd resumed
circulating his light energy.
[Divine Power of Light EXP +1]
[Divine Body EXP +1]
Both his level-four Divine Power of Light and Divine Body were steadily advancing toward level
five.
Once these two abilities also reached level five, along with Divine Word and Flight, he would have four level-five abilities!
By then, his strength would increase tremendously. Whether facing the military's trap or the looming threat of Arishem, he would feel much more confident.
Syd's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
As he continued to circulate his light energy, time passed quickly, and two more days went by.
After these two days, his Divine Body was 90% complete-just one more push, and it would
reach level five!
Even Divine Power of Light wasn't far behind!
During these two days, aside from evading a few military pursuit attempts, nothing much had
happened.
However, just as he was about to make the final push to bring his Divine Body to level five, Syd suddenly sensed a strange, slightly scorching aura nearby.
"What's this?"
Syd saw two middle-aged men in suits, faintly glowing red and emitting high temperatures,
walking into the alley.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
From the way they looked, they seemed to be about to discuss some secret business.
With just one glance, Syd immediately understood the abnormality in their bodies.
The Extremis virus?!
