Starting as a Class Five Mutant-Chapter 468 -

After all, the changes in his light energy were minor in comparison—what truly mattered to him was Chaos Magic.

With Chaos Magic at level five, distorting and altering reality had become second nature!

A flash of red light flickered from his hand, and the wall beside him instantly turned into a brilliant gold, as if transmuted into pure gold.

Syd sensed it for a moment and murmured, "It seems... permanent?"

His mood instantly brightened.

In fact, he realized that turning an entire city into gold wouldn't even be a challenge for him.

And this was merely a small burst of Chaos Magic.

If he were to unleash his full power, even Syd himself couldn't fathom the extent of the devastation it could cause.

Stretching out his right hand, the deep-red glow of Chaos Magic shimmered in his palm.

As he focused, he estimated that his maximum range of influence could extend for several thousand kilometers.

However, due to the potential destruction such a test would cause, he decided to hold off until it was absolutely necessary.

At the same time, he noticed a particular limitation of Chaos Magic.

After experimenting a bit, he confirmed that it wasn't just his imagination.

The energy cost varied depending on the scope and nature of the alteration!

For example, while Syd could easily transform a wall into water, he found himself unable to conjure an Infinity Stone out of thin air.

He focused, letting red light envelop a stone on the ground, attempting to reshape it into the Space Stone.

The stone flickered under the red glow, shifting as though it were pixelated, undergoing continuous transformations.

In the end, it became a blue-white gem.

Syd sighed.

The gem on the ground was clearly just a superficial imitation, nothing close to a genuine Space Stone.

His current abilities did not support the fabrication of something as powerful as an Infinity Stone.

More importantly, his internal energy reserves were completely insufficient—even far from enough!

With this, Syd recognized the inherent limitation of his Chaos Magic.

The energy source of Chaos Magic came entirely from himself—or rather, from his light energy being converted into Chaos energy. It wasn't drawn from external forces.

This meant that his energy was finite, preventing him from recklessly altering reality on a whim.

That said, his current level of reality manipulation was already more than enough to deal with his enemies.

Transforming New York City into an amusement park had been mere child's play—he hadn't even used a fraction of his true power.

If he wanted, he could turn people into frogs, insects, paper-thin beings, or even outright erase entire regions from existence!

Suddenly, a thought crossed Syd's mind.

"If modifying reality under normal conditions has limits... then what about when I lose control?"

He was well aware that going berserk was a possibility for him.

Just like Orochi's abilities had once gone out of control...

Chaos Magic was no exception!

After all, his true mutant ability wasn't Sunshine or Chaos Magic—it was Mimicry!

That previous loss of control had been a direct consequence of mimicking an unstable ability.

And because the upper limit of his Mimicry ability remained unknown, Syd had no idea what would happen if Chaos Magic truly spiraled out of control.

Would it also be affected by Mimicry?

What kind of catastrophic consequences could that lead to?

Shaking his head quickly, Syd pushed those thoughts aside.

"I can't create an Infinity Stone under normal circumstances... but what about a black hole?"

"And if I go all out... can I distort and rewrite a Celestial?"

He was intrigued by the idea, but after some thought, he decided against testing it.

For now, he turned his attention back to the Darkhold.

Hovering in midair, his right hand glowed red.

The Darkhold floated before him, its pages flipping rapidly under the influence of his Chaos Magic.

Soon, he found what he was looking for—Dreamwalking Magic.

Scanning through the text, his formidable mind and spirit immediately memorized the spell's contents.

For someone like him—a divine being, a child of the world—such mystical knowledge posed no challenge whatsoever.

To him, it was as simple as basic arithmetic.

Sitting cross-legged, Syd closed his eyes and immediately attempted the Dreamwalking spell.

He estimated that he would succeed on the very first try...

And, sure enough, as soon as he followed the Darkhold's instructions, the Dreamwalking spell activated.

However, in the next moment, Syd frowned.

Because he realized—he couldn't sense any parallel versions of himself!

"How is that possible...?"

For a brief moment, he was surprised. Then, he quickly deduced the reason.

"It's because of my uniqueness, isn't it?"

Syd sighed in frustration. "Well, this is annoying."

If he couldn't detect alternate versions of himself, then Dreamwalking was practically useless for him!

Which meant that infiltrating other universes through Dreamwalking was out of the question.

"Forget it. I'll deal with inter-universal travel later. I can always keep trying with portal magic..."

With that, he cast one final glance at Universe 838 before opening a portal back to his home universe.

Golden sparks crackled as a circular portal appeared.

The next second, he stepped through.

Back in the Main Universe

As soon as Syd returned, he immediately felt a sense of urgency.

After all, the looming threat of the cosmic entity Eternity had never disappeared.

Even escaping to Universe 838 might not have been enough to keep him safe.

Who knew what kind of unfathomable power Eternity possessed?

And there was still the ever-present threat of the Celestials...

Not to mention the Old God's true form lurking in the background.

"Balder's Omega ability..."

Despite the pressure, Syd felt a spark of anticipation.

He hoped that Balder's Omega-level mutation would bring him something new—something game-changing!

With that in mind, he stepped into the sunlight and began absorbing solar energy.

After just a few minutes, as he felt his internal energy slowly replenishing, he was struck by how slow the process was.

The next second, he shot into the sky at high speed, racing toward the outer atmosphere.

Before long, he broke through the clouds and arrived in low Earth orbit.

Floating in space, he absorbed the sunlight directly.

Without the interference of the atmosphere, his absorption rate skyrocketed.

At the same time, his presence did not go unnoticed.

Satellites from various countries quickly picked up his activity.

After everything that had happened, global surveillance efforts had intensified. Many nations—especially the United States—had increased their number of satellites, maintaining round-the-clock monitoring for any extraterrestrial invasions or global threats.

Thus, it wasn't long before Syd's appearance in space caught the attention of intelligence agencies worldwide.

"Is that... the White-Clad Warrior?"

"Why is he in outer space?"

People around the world were baffled.

He was just floating there, motionless.

What was he doing?

Had he died?

Of course, they knew he was immensely powerful, so they quickly dismissed that absurd notion.

"Could it be that, after Messiah's recent rise to prominence, the White-Clad Warrior refuses to be outshined and is trying to make a name for himself?"

But even if he wanted to prove himself, no one thought he could compare to Messiah.

After all, Messiah had already shattered a black hole—an impossible feat.

He was considered an Ultra Omega-level mutant, something that defied comprehension.

So what could the White-Clad Warrior possibly do to compete?

For now, the world watched in a mix of confusion and apprehension.
