Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 329: Chapter 329



Ninety-nine percent...

Quickly, Syd observed the energy barrier on the Old One dwindling to its final remnants.

The last time, when his divine rank was only at level three, this final barrier had been the cause of his demise within the deathly visions.

But now, at level four...

Under his watchful gaze, the thin, stubborn layer of energy clinging to the Old One's body refused to dissipate, struggling tenaciously.

Clearly, the Old One was exerting its will, unwilling to let go of this last protective layer.

Unfortunately for it, no amount of effort could save it now.

Under the terrifying platinum brilliance of Sunshine, the final traces of the energy layer melted away like snow under scorching sunlight, vanishing completely.

A surge of pain erupted as the parts of the Old One's colossal body enveloped in light began to dissolve rapidly.

Black skin disintegrated. Blood vanished...

"Insect!"

"How is your power so strong?!"

The Old One's mind quaked violently.

Witnessing this incomprehensible scene, it was utterly stunned.

A mere human had managed to wound it?

What was this power?!

However, there was no time for further reflection. Feeling its dissolving form, the Old One erupted in a fit of rage.

In the next instant, its massive, crimson eye glowed ominously.

In a flash, an enormous crimson beam shot out!

As the red beam streaked forward, spanning over ten kilometers, its terrifying presence was palpable.

Who could possibly withstand this?

The Messiah... could he even survive?

As if to confirm the world's fears, under the pressure of the crimson beam, the radiant Omega ability released by Syd began to falter and retract, inch by inch.

In just a few seconds, the protective light around Syd had shrunk to a mere few hundred meters, struggling to hold its ground.

"You've angered me, insect!"

"Let's hope your body isn't completely obliterated-I could use a fine puppet!"

The Old One's cold, mocking telepathic waves reverberated.

But it didn't believe for a moment that this insolent insect could last much longer. Under its ray, there could only be one outcome for this human: total annihilation. The overwhelming scene unfolding above the skies served as undeniable proof.

The heavens burned red, the crimson beam steadily advancing, drawing ever closer to its target.

Three hundred meters...

Two hundred meters...

One hundred meters...

The entire world fell into a hushed silence, watching the scene unfold with bated breath.

Live Broadcasts

Irina murmured solemnly, "It seems the Messiah is truly finished this time..."

Her soft words left the global audience silent.

Though the Messiah was on the verge of death, this time, no one felt triumph or joy. Instead, an inexplicable sense of dread loomed-a grim realization that their turn might come next.

At the X-Mansion

Professor X, seated in his wheelchair, felt his heart tighten, releasing a heavy sigh. "Syd!"

Beside him, Logan let out a panicked cry.

Though they had braced themselves for this outcome, witnessing the Messiah's imminent demise with their own eyes was a bitter pill to swallow.

Stark Tower

Tony Stark and his companions were similarly stricken into silence.

Hong Kong-The Battlefield

Elsewhere, Doctor Strange stared blankly at the scene.

"The Messiah, despite being this powerful, still isn't a match for that horrifying creature?"

Recalling the massive, radiant light released by Syd moments ago, Strange still felt a lingering sense of awe.

Yet, even such an overwhelming force had failed against this monstrous black entity?!

How powerful was this creature?

Strange's thoughts were mirrored by Mordo nearby, whose expression betrayed a similar shock.

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

"No wonder the Messiah is called an Omega mutant..."

"I have to admit, his power is truly terrifying. I underestimated him before."

Li Shui chuckled bitterly, his face lined with frustration. "But now what? He's still going to

die."

What use was such strength if it ultimately led to this?

Ultron's Calculations

Ultron, observing from afar, found himself both startled and puzzled.

"Is the Messiah stronger than before?"

"Has he been hiding his true power, or is this his full potential?"

The overwhelming display of strength undeniably lived up to the Omega designation. But compared to the dark titan and this tentacled monstrosity, it still fell short.

"My original plan to achieve godhood might've actually been possible..."

Watching the Messiah unleash his terrifying power, Ultron felt a twinge of regret.

If only he could have seized control of the Messiah, perhaps his godhood plan could have

succeeded.

But now, it was too late.

Military Command Base

Several generals and dozens of officers exhaled collectively in relief.

The Messiah was finally about to die!

One less Omega mutant in the world!

Yet, despite their relief, the existence of the tentacled monstrosity cast a heavy shadow overn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

their hearts, leaving them uncertain whether to celebrate or despair.

Dark Dimension

"I'm surprised Earth has such a strong individual, but Ancient One, that person is about to

die."

Dormammu smirked mockingly.

"When that human perishes, the tentacled creature will assist me, and Ancient One, you'll be

finished!"

As he spoke, Dormammu observed a slight shift in the Ancient One's expression.

"Ha ha ha..."

Dormammu's laughter echoed arrogantly as he focused on the impending fate of the Messiah.

While everyone anticipated the conclusion, Syd, facing the crimson beam now only ten meters

away, felt a weight of despair.

He had anticipated the Old One having additional means, but he hadn't expected such devastating power. This casual attack alone had overwhelmed his amplified Sunshine ability. Perhaps, with Sunshine at level five, he could reverse the situation. But now...

Glancing at the considerable gap between his current Sunshine level and the next, Syd fell

silent.

What could he do?

At most, he could hold out for another two or three seconds before the crimson ray and black tentacles enveloped him, turning him into the Old One's puppet...

Syd's mind raced, processing options at lightning speed.

Amid the tension, he clenched his fist, suddenly recalling something he had nearly forgotten.

The Space Stone!

Before the Old One's arrival, he had secured the Space Stone in his hand as a precaution-a

last resort for dire situations like this.

"I have to try!"

Quickly resolving himself, Syd made his move.

The crimson beam closed in-two meters away!
