After all, if he didn't increase his strength soon, he would be doomed when the Celestial Judgmenter reappeared at an unknown time!
Syd was channeling the light energy within him.
[Divine Light Power Experience +1]
[Divine Body Experience +1]
[Divinity Experience +1]
A series of experience notifications appeared.
Looking at these three abilities gradually progressing toward Level 5, Syd's eyes revealed anticipation.
While channeling the light energy, he took some time to change into a new white outfit and altered the style and color of his backpack.
Time passed quickly, and after half an hour, just as he was about to continue channeling his light energy, someone interrupted him.
Footsteps approached from afar.
Syd furrowed his brows and instinctively activated his light.
In the next moment, his figure gradually distorted and quickly vanished from sight, entering an optical invisibility state.
Through his observation, a group of agents carrying equipment cautiously arrived.
"Agents from S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Syd noticed their familiar uniforms with some surprise.
After listening to their conversation, he had a general understanding of the situation.
"Leakage of the Power Stone's energy…"
Syd wasn't surprised that S.H.I.E.L.D. detected such anomalies.
After all, when Thor's hammer and the Bifrost descended, S.H.I.E.L.D. detected anomalies, so it was normal for them to detect any abnormal energy sources like the Power Stone.
Shaking his head, Syd glanced at them and silently moved away from the scene.
Half an hour later, he found another secluded location.
As time passed, four days went by quickly.
Just as the experience for the Divine Body reached more than halfway, Syd, still in the alley, heard footsteps again.
However, unlike before, these footsteps were heavier and more rhythmic, almost as if they were not human.
Moreover, these footsteps seemed quite familiar.
After a brief contemplation, Syd did not turn invisible this time but focused on the distant sounds with a grave expression.
Indeed, three black Sentinel robots appeared in his line of sight.
"Just as I thought, Sentinels?"
"Are they seeking their own destruction?"
Syd glanced at his attire, which hadn't changed much. Anyone could easily recognize him based on his outfit.
So, what were these three Sentinels up to?
Normally, wouldn't they avoid him?
A sense of alertness immediately surged within Syd.
As he was becoming wary and puzzled, the three Sentinels began their attack.
Three laser beams shot toward him.
Syd's right hand emitted red light, forming a red chaotic magical shield that easily blocked the laser attacks from the Sentinels.
Then, his left hand also radiated red light.
Syd directed the light toward the distant Sentinels, exerting a slight force.
A layer of red light enveloped them.
The next moment, metallic crunching noises echoed.
Despite the Sentinels' attempt to adapt their bodies to a steel form to counter this, it was futile.
With a firm grasp of his left hand, Syd heard three loud crashes as the Sentinels transformed into three heaps of elliptical scrap metal.
Having swiftly dealt with the three Sentinels, Syd's confusion deepened.
Before he could ponder for long, he suddenly noticed three more Sentinels flying in from the distance.
At this moment, the new Sentinels seemed to pause briefly, noticing him, and quickly retreated as if trying to escape.
Syd moved his feet slightly, instinctively wanting to pursue them.
However, as he began to move, he stopped, sensing something amiss. His alertness heightened.
"Are they trying to lure me somewhere?"
Syd quickly guessed their probable intention.
Perhaps these Sentinels were trying to lead him into a trap?
This reminded Syd of a warning from Venom before heading to Xandar.
Venom had sensed an approaching danger, and as time passed, this sense of danger intensified.
Venom suspected that some conspiracy or trap was being set up against them…
At that time, Syd had speculated that it might be another military plot.
Now, seeing these Sentinels, he immediately understood something.
Gazing at the three Sentinels in the distance, Syd's expression grew more profound. He had no intention of pursuing them.
Although his Divine Word had reached Level 5, significantly enhancing his strength, he decided to wait a bit longer.
After all, the Divine Body was close to Level 5, and even the Divine Light Power and Divinity were nearing completion!
As he was contemplating leaving to hide for a few days, a slight spatial fluctuation occurred beside him.
In an instant, Syd reacted.
It was him!
The one with the teleportation ability who had previously trapped him with military traps and tried to kill him with an explosion!
After the last surprise attack, Syd had been on high alert. With the extreme reflexes brought by the chaotic magic, he instantly reacted.
"Letting this guy escape last time, and he dares to appear again?"
"Does he really think teleportation makes him invincible?" Syd's lips curled into a smirk.
In the next moment, his right hand moved slightly, red light bursting forth.
Simultaneously, his eyes glowed red, the mind power of chaotic magic surging out, instantly locking onto the target.
All this happened in a split second.
Leonard, dressed in military uniform, with a strong and robust build exuding a military aura, appeared through teleportation, his face displaying a smug grin.
"A mere white-clad hero, even if he's an Omega-level mutant, so what!"
"He'll still be toyed with by me, an X-Gene enhanced individual!"
Last time, he nearly killed the Messiah with his teleportation ability; this time would be no different!
This guy, an Omega mutant like the Messiah, would also be successfully trapped and killed!
In fact, this time, the military and Commander Alessandro's preparations were even more thorough. If he could lure this white-clad hero into a trap, then he was doomed!
Originally, this arrangement was meant for the Messiah.
But since they couldn't locate him, they would have to use this white-clad hero, who was also an Omega mutant, to assert military dominance!
As a group of military officers, through the cameras on Leonard, watched anxiously and expectantly.
Leonard, with a face full of pride, appeared and was about to trap the white-clad hero. His expression suddenly froze, turning into one of astonishment and disbelief.
