Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 77:



"Alaya, Gaia?"

Kaecilius flipped through the pages of the book.

If this being was documented in this book, it must be a comparable entity, right?

Also beyond time?

Perhaps it too could grant power and immortality?

Kaecilius's eyes were filled with fervor.

However, after reading through the description, he felt a bit disappointed.

The book recorded that this being indeed existed but had never responded to anyone. No one had successfully communicated with it, and naturally, no one had borrowed its power.

Even the author of the forbidden magic book didn't know why.

These great beings were always mysterious and elusive, beyond the reach of mortals, impossible to comprehend.

However, there was a benefit: since it was impossible to communicate with this great being, performing the ritual to communicate with it would likely have no side effects or costs.

Kaecilius soon found the ritual to communicate with this being.

Stroking the magical ritual diagram on the page, Kaecilius quickly made up his mind.

His desire to resurrect his family made him unwilling to let any opportunity pass, even if it meant trying to communicate with a being that didn't respond to mortals.

Ripping out the pages describing this being, Kaecilius re-locked the forbidden magic book and quietly left the library.

It didn't take long-just a few hours-to set up the ritual to communicate with the demon god.

Late at night, in a secluded clearing, an array of lit oil lamps surrounded a diagram with peculiar lines.

After setting up the magical ritual circle, Kaecilius began chanting ancient and cumbersome incantations while making gestures and borrowing magical power.

Soon, blue light glowed from the magical ritual.

Kaecilius sensed something, a great will.

However, just as the forbidden book had stated, although he could sense the will, he couldn't do anything with it, not even effectively communicate.

Unwilling to give up, Kaecilius shouted, "Great demon god, your humble servant calls upon you..."

The night breeze blew, and nothing happened for a long while.

Kaecilius looked disappointed, feeling like his hope of resurrecting his family had vanished.

Just as he was about to give up, Syd Castell, who was sunbathing and collecting energy points in the primeval forest, suddenly paused.

It was as if he were hallucinating; a faint prayer reached his ears.

"Great demon god, your humble servant..."

Syd nearly thought he was hallucinating.

"Venom, did you hear anything?"

"Syd, no, why?"

"Nothing..."

Syd fell into deep thought.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

There was no one around, so where was this voice coming from? Instinctively, he responded in his mind.

"Servant?"

Kaecilius, who was about to give up, showed excitement and joy.

He heard a faint, mysterious voice respond to the word "servant"!

"There's a response?!"

At that moment, Kaecilius felt as if he had won the lottery, hit by a wave of joy.

This demon god had responded to him!

Suppressing his excitement, he hurriedly said, "Great demon god, my name is Kaecilius. I have something to ask of you."

He then nervously asked, "Do you have the power to resurrect people?"

"I want to ask you to resurrect my family..."

In the primeval forest.

Hearing the nervous prayer, Syd was slightly stunned.

"Kaecilius?"

This name sounded familiar...

After thinking for a moment, Syd remembered who this person was: the main antagonist in Doctor Strange, who sought power and immortality by serving the Dark Dimension lord

Dormammu.

He even attempted to break Earth's protective wards to invite Dormammu to invade reality.

Of course, he was eventually stopped by Doctor Strange.

After Dormammu was expelled, Kaecilius was consumed by the Dark Dimension, either devoured by Dormammu or eternally tormented like a living dead.

"Family?"

Syd realized why Kaecilius was so obsessed with immortality and why he hated the Ancient One.

His obsession with immortality likely stemmed from the death of his family, making him fear death.

As for his hatred toward the Ancient One, he probably believed the Ancient One knew how to resurrect people but refused to teach him, leading to his disillusionment.

And resurrection, while possible in the Marvel universe, was rare and typically went against the natural order.

Syd knew a few ways to achieve resurrection, such as reversing time with the Time Stone or using the Quantum Realm.

However, both methods had consequences.

Another possibility was using the Eternal Flame of Surtur, the fire giant of Asgard, which seemingly had the power to resurrect. Hela, the goddess of death, used it to revive her army. But it was unclear if it was the Eternal Flame's power, Hela's power, or something unique to

Asgardians.

Even though Syd knew resurrection methods, even those with side effects, he wouldn't share them freely, especially with someone he didn't know well like Kaecilius.

At this moment, his attention shifted to the term "demon god" used by Kaecilius.

"Demon god?"

"Me?"

Syd was puzzled.

When did he get associated with a demon god...

Wait!

Syd felt something was off.

Since reaching 100% mimicry of Orochi, he had felt a vague connection with the Earth. Now,

he sensed a connection with where Kaecilius was.

And Kaecilius had a ritual to summon and communicate with him?

Calling him a demon god?

Syd was a bit surprised. Had the 100% mimicry of Orochi changed that much?

No wonder he felt a significant change-this was it.

Had Orochi's identity as Earth's will been made real?

Syd sensed the other side.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, feeling a longing.

He sensed something he needed over there, or rather, something Orochi's panel needed!

He even felt that absorbing that power would remove the side effects of his previous loss of

control!

His abilities would return one by one!

"What is it?"

After a moment's thought, Syd's mind conjured an image of a blue cube.

"The Tesseract!"

What else but this object containing space power could attract him so much?

He knew the Tesseract contained the Space Stone, one of the Infinity Stones!

And Orochi's power source was primarily space!

"I must get it, even for a short while!"

Syd began to ponder.

At this moment, Kaecilius's cautious voice sounded in his mind.

"Demon god, can you not do it?"

His voice carried a hint of disappointment.

Syd's eyes flickered, and he quickly made a decision.

The next second, a mysterious voice echoed in Kaecilius's mind.

"Yes, I know several ways to resurrect people. If you help me obtain an item, I will tell you

how."

Hearing the demon god's voice, Kaecilius became excited.

"Demon god, what is the item?"

"The Tesseract, currently in the possession of an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. You can find

a way to obtain it from them."
