Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 66:



Venom emerged from Syd's right hand.

"Syd, you're incredibly powerful!"

Venom's voice was tinged with excitement. "I knew it, together we're invincible. No one can stand against us!"

He felt incredibly fortunate to have bonded with such a powerful host.

As for his previous host...

Venom sneered, thinking that poor guy was probably still fleeing from that man. How unfortunate, heh.

Syd glanced at Venom, his mouth twitching slightly. "You're too cocky. You haven't met the truly strong ones yet."

"Syd, you keep talking about strong people, but where are they? I haven't seen anyone stronger than you." Venom didn't believe him, thinking Syd was being modest.

Syd shook his head, conversing with Venom while seeking shelter from the rain. Time passed.

The cold, torrential rain poured down until noon the next day.

The sun gradually emerged from behind the clouds, casting brilliant sunlight that brought forth a rainbow.

As the warm sunlight shone on him, Syd's energy points steadily increased.

[Photon Energy +1]

[Photon Energy +1]

[Photon Energy +1]

(Unlock progress: 90%)

Casually adding the remaining energy points, Syd found the unlock progress unchanged and shook his head.

The next second, he turned and left the area to avoid being found again.

Soon, the sun set, and darkness enveloped the sky. Syd's energy points increased once more. [Energy Points: 6101]

After a quick glance, Syd decided to accumulate more before adding them.

While he was continuously collecting energy points and evading some secret trackers, a large mass of strange red energy was quickly approaching Earth in the dark, silent space.

At NASA, an employee staring at the monitor exclaimed into his headset, "Everyone, attention! The satellite detected something unusual."

Hearing his voice, the roaming staff and those handling data turned their gaze toward him.

Several people gathered behind him, looking at the anomaly on the screen.

On the radar display, a large, strange object was rapidly approaching Earth.

In space, the energy mass glowed red, resembling solar wind or a nebula.

As the satellite camera shifted, a clearer view of the strange red energy emerged, causing the staff to exclaim in surprise.

"What is that?"

"Is it a solar flare? The detected heat value is off the charts..."

"Oh my god..."

The staff were shocked and anxious to report the matter. Unfortunately, before they could act, the red energy mass was already near Earth's atmosphere, heading straight in one direction.

The fierce wind howled, scattering countless clouds.

Soon, the massive energy mass approached America, hesitated slightly as if sensing something, but ultimately continued toward its initial target.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The dazzling red light shone in the night sky, causing countless onlookers to cry out in surprise.

"Oh my God, what is that?"

"A newly developed energy weapon?"

"It looks like it's coming our way, run!"

The bystanders were terrified, thinking it was an energy weapon attack, and fled in panic. The red energy didn't target them, otherwise, they wouldn't have escaped and would have been reduced to ashes in an instant.

Two kilometers away, on a high-rise rooftop, Syd watched the red energy mass with a tense expression.

"What a terrifying thing..."

"What is that?" Venom was so scared that his teeth almost fell out, his mouth wide open.

Syd was equally alarmed, sensing a strong threat from the red energy.

"That direction is..."

He looked over.

Two kilometers away.

Cyclops, Jean, and Ororo were searching for someone, their eyes fixed on the sky.

"Run! It looks like it's coming our way!" Cyclops urged.

He grabbed Jean and started running, with Storm close behind.

However, no matter how they ran, they couldn't escape. The red energy mass seemed determined to follow them.

"You two, go," Jean suddenly said, pulling her hand from Cyclops' grip.

Seeing their shocked expressions, Jean hesitated for a moment and said, "I can feel it. Its target is me..."

"Jean, no, you..." Cyclops began to refuse without thinking.

Before he could finish, the dazzling red energy mass approached, radiating intense heat.

Jean didn't hesitate, using her telekinesis to push Cyclops and Storm away.

Just as she pushed them a hundred meters away, the red energy mass arrived.

"Jean!" Cyclops and Storm shouted.

Jean raised her hands in defense, her telekinesis surging forward to block the red energy.

The fierce wind howled, and the sound of burning filled the air.

The red energy was momentarily blocked, but it was too powerful. Despite Jean's strong telekinesis, she couldn't hold on.

Jean screamed and was engulfed by the red energy.

"Jean!" Cyclops and Storm, hiding behind a building and shielding themselves from the energy's shockwave, were filled with sorrow.

Jean was dead?

Their grief was short-lived as they witnessed an astonishing sight.

The massive red energy mass suddenly contracted inward.

It seemed as if something was absorbing it, and within moments, it vanished.

Jean floated in the air, tendrils of red energy flowing into her.

During the process, parts of her clothing and flesh seemed to be destroyed and then restored,

a strange sight.

In the final moments, the red energy formed wings in the air, resembling a reborn phoenix.

The next second, all the energy was absorbed into Jean's body.

Jean slowly descended to the ground.

"Jean!" Seeing her safe, Cyclops and Storm rushed over.

"Jean, wake up, are you okay?"

Scott called out to her.

After a moment, Jean slowly opened her eyes, felt herself, and said in confusion, "I'm fine."

"What happened to me?"

As Scott explained, Jean frowned.
