Chapter 259: Chapter 259
[1000PS REACHED! Next Goal: 1500PS!]
If he didn't increase his strength soon, the Celestial could show up at any moment, and that would be the day he died!
Syd continued circulating his light energy.
[Divine Power of Light EXP +1]
[Divine Body EXP +1]
[Divinity EXP +1]
A series of notifications appeared.
Watching these three abilities steadily advance toward level five, Syd's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
While circulating the light energy within him, he took a moment to change into a fresh white outfit and swapped out his backpack for a new style and color.
Time flew by quickly. After about half an hour, before he could continue harnessing his light energy, someone interrupted him.
Footsteps echoed from a distance.
Frowning, Syd instinctively activated his light manipulation.
In the next moment, his figure distorted and quickly vanished from sight, entering an optical invisibility state.
From his concealed position, Syd watched as a group of agents, equipped with scanning devices, cautiously approached.
As they scanned the area, Syd instantly recognized them.
"SHIELD agents?"
Glancing at their familiar uniforms, Syd was slightly surprised.
After listening to their conversation, he quickly understood the situation.
"The Power Stone's energy leak..."
It wasn't unexpected that SHIELD could detect such anomalies.
After all, they had detected the anomalies when Thor's hammer and the Bifrost appeared. It made sense they would pick up on the energy signature of the Power Stone if it leaked.
Shaking his head, Syd glanced at the agents once more before silently slipping away.
About half an hour later, he found another secluded spot.
Time passed swiftly, and four days went by.
As his Divine Body neared the halfway point to level five, Syd heard footsteps again, this time different from before.
Unlike the previous footsteps, these were heavier, more uniform, and rhythmic-definitely not human.
Moreover, they sounded oddly familiar.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Syd didn't activate his invisibility this time. His eyes narrowed, and he stared into the distance.
Sure enough, three black Sentinels appeared in his line of sight.
"Sentinel robots?"
"Are they here to die?"
Syd glanced down at himself and realized his appearance hadn't changed much. Anyone who saw him would recognize him immediately.
So, what were these three Sentinels trying to do?
Normally, they'd avoid him entirely.
Instantly, a sense of vigilance rose within Syd.
While he was still on high alert, the three Sentinels launched an attack.
Three laser beams shot toward him.
Syd's right hand glowed red as he casually raised it to defend himself.
A red Chaos Magic shield appeared, easily blocking the Sentinels' laser blasts.
Then, his left hand glowed red as well.
With a small motion, Syd enveloped the three Sentinels in a red aura.
The next second, a loud creak of bending metal echoed.
Though the Sentinels attempted to shift into their metallic forms to resist, their efforts were futile.
Syd clenched his left hand tightly, and with three successive bangs, the Sentinels were crushed into heaps of scrap metal.
Having effortlessly dealt with the three Sentinels, Syd's confusion only deepened.
Before he could dwell on it, he noticed three more Sentinels flying toward him from the distance.
However, this time, upon spotting him, they quickly halted and began retreating, as if attempting to escape.
Syd moved slightly, intending to pursue them.
But just as he started, he stopped, sensing something was off. His vigilance heightened
further.
"Are they trying to lure me somewhere?"
In an instant, Syd realized their plan.
Most likely, these Sentinels were trying to lead him into a trap.
Syd's mind wandered to a memory from before his trip to Xandar.
At the time, Venom had warned him.
Venom had sensed that danger was approaching, and over time, that sense of danger had only
grown stronger.
Venom had speculated that a plot against them was in motion.
Back then, Syd had suspected the military might be behind it.
Now, seeing these Sentinels, it all started to make sense.
Staring at the retreating Sentinels, Syd's eyes gleamed, but he had no intention of pursuing
them.
Although his Divine Word had reached level five and greatly enhanced his power, he decided to
wait a little longer.
After all, his Divine Body was close to level five, and both his Divine Power of
Light and Divinity weren't far behind either!
Just as Syd was thinking about lying low for a few days, a sudden spatial distortion appeared
beside him.
In an instant, Syd reacted.
It was him!
The one with teleportation powers, the person who had previously trapped him in a military ambush and tried to kill him with an explosion!
After the surprise attack last time, Syd had been on guard. Coupled with the heightened reflexes granted by Chaos Magic, he immediately knew what was happening.
"So, you escaped last time and still dare to show up again?"
"You think teleportation makes you invincible?" Syd smirked.
The next moment, his right hand moved slightly, and a red glow erupted.
Simultaneously, his pupils gleamed red as his mental powers, enhanced by Chaos Magic,
locked onto his target in an instant.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Dressed in a military uniform, tall and muscular, exuding the air of a seasoned soldier,
Leonard appeared through teleportation, a smug smile on his face.
"Just you-what does it matter if he's an Omega-level mutant?"
"Isn't he still being toyed with by me, an X-gene modified human?"
Last time, using his teleportation abilities, Leonard had nearly killed the Messiah, and this
time would be no different!
This Omega-level mutant, just like the Messiah, would be led into a trap and killed!
In fact, this time, the military, along with Commander Alessandro, had prepared even more. Once the white-clad warrior was lured into the trap, he would be doomed!
Originally, the trap was set for the Messiah.
But since they couldn't find him, they'd have to settle for this white-clad warrior, also an Omega-level mutant, to display the might of the U.S. military!
At that moment, several high-ranking military officers watched nervously and eagerly
through the camera attached to Leonard's gear.
With a smug expression, Leonard appeared, just about to drag the white-clad warrior into the
trap-but his face suddenly froze, his expression shifting to one of shock and disbelief.
