Starting as a Class Five Mutant-Chapter 473 -

The Time Stone on the Ancient One's chest flickered with a green glow. With a wave of her hand, the scene shifted continuously to different locations.

Cedric, Alessandro, and other high-ranking figures appeared before her eyes.

Watching them go about their business as if nothing had happened, the Ancient One confirmed one thing—under the influence of a mysterious force, the altered past had been corrected!

With another wave of her hand, the scene shifted to the room of the little girl named Delia.

Then, she fell into silence.

The girl had vanished. It was as if she had been erased from existence.

After witnessing all of this, the Ancient One, carrying shock and doubt, felt the green light of the Time Stone flashing as she returned to the present timeline.

The moment she arrived, her pupils shrank.

"Ah..."

A scream echoed.

On the silver-colored experimental bed, the adult Delia suddenly screamed and sat up. At the same time, a terrifying and familiar phenomenon was occurring to her body.

She was turning into shreds of white paper!

...

—Inside the Laboratory—

Dozens of researchers, hidden observing council members, and high-ranking military officials, who had initially been full of excitement and anticipation for the death of the so-called Super Omega Mutant Messiah, froze.

Not far away, the symbiote bullet, too, sensed despair, waiting for its master's imminent death.

...

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

—S.H.I.E.L.D.—

Nick Fury was monitoring White Cloak while also keeping an eye on the laboratory.

As Delia's body underwent drastic changes, his face showed an expression of astonishment.

A living person... was gradually turning into shredded white paper?

This completely defied science.

What was happening?

What was the meaning of this?

Not just him, but all the researchers, council members, and military officials who had been eagerly awaiting Messiah's death froze in disbelief.

"What's happening to Delia?"

"Why is she turning into paper?"

The symbiote bullet and Rasputin, standing to the side, also showed expressions of shock.

Before long, under their watchful eyes, Delia let out a final scream before completely disintegrating into scraps of paper.

Among the scattered fragments, some formed words in English—

[I do not like this reality!]

Seeing this message, everyone was deeply shaken.

"What happened to Delia?"

"Why did she turn into paper? And what does this message mean?"

While they were in shock, they suddenly noticed that the vanished woman in the yellow robe had reappeared.

"She was erased," the Ancient One stated directly.

At her words, everyone's attention immediately turned to her.

"What do you mean?"

Agent 6 couldn't hold back and asked.

It was the question on everyone's mind.

Glancing at them, the Ancient One frowned and explained, "She altered the past on her own, attempting to kill Messiah, and as a result, was erased by a mysterious force."

"The reality she changed was corrected. All of the effects she caused have been completely wiped away."

Hearing her words, the researchers, council members, and military officials, including the symbiote bullet, all revealed expressions of disbelief and shock.

Delia was erased by a mysterious force?

The altered reality was corrected?

Everything she changed was undone?

Impossible!

Who could have done such a thing?

A researcher named Mauro suddenly spoke in shock, "Delia was attacked by a mysterious force because she attempted to kill Messiah... Could it be...?"

As soon as he spoke, the previously skeptical crowd fell into stunned silence.

Senator Richard gasped, "Was this... Messiah's doing?"

The moment he said it, he violently shook his head. "No way!"

"Messiah was just a baby at the time! He hadn't even awakened his Omega-level abilities! How could he possibly have done something like this?"

"Correcting reality? Turning a living person into scraps of paper? What kind of terrifying power is that?"

"Does Messiah possess such an ability?"

Richard refused to believe it.

The other researchers, council members, and military officials, though still in shock, agreed with him. His reasoning made sense.

Messiah was just a baby—how could he have done something like this?!

Standing in the lab, the Ancient One fell into deep thought.

Even she found it reasonable and couldn't believe Messiah was responsible. Even if he was an Ultra-Omega Mutant, this was simply too absurd.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the Ancient One looked up in a specific direction.

With a wave of her hand, she projected an image in front of her.

Floating in Earth's outer space, shrouded in deep crimson energy, was White Cloak, radiating immense power.

The Ancient One's breath hitched as she murmured, "White Cloak?"

"Could it have been him?"

She found the idea unbelievable, but after some thought, she murmured again, "It's not impossible..."

"You altered the past to try and kill Messiah. That action would have inevitably affected White Cloak and possibly changed his own past."

"If White Cloak didn't want his past to be altered, then perhaps..."

Her gaze shifted back to Delia's scattered paper fragments, her eyes lingering on the words left behind.

[I do not like this reality!]

The more she thought about it, the more convinced she became.

But there was still one question that puzzled her.

"How did White Cloak do it?"

"He was able to correct past reality?"

Even as the Sorcerer Supreme, she found it impossible to believe.

While the Ancient One was lost in thought, the researchers, council members, and military officials who overheard her murmuring were left utterly stunned.

As they watched the projection of White Cloak, they suddenly remembered his strange condition from earlier, coinciding with the time of the incident.

But... they refused to believe it.

"Correcting reality?"

"Turning people into paper?"

Could White Cloak really have done that?

The researchers and high-ranking officials all dismissed it.

It was absurd.

Inside a glass containment unit, the symbiote bullet scoffed, "Impossible! Even my master, Messiah, couldn't do that. How could White Cloak?"

He was relieved that his master was safe, but he refused to believe it.

As for Rasputin, she was utterly bewildered.

First, they traveled to the past. Then the past was corrected. Then that woman turned into scraps of paper...

So many impossible things had happened—was this really not just a dream?

Her entire worldview was crumbling.

Could a mutant truly achieve something like this?

Even an Omega-level mutant—this was far too excessive!

...

—Meanwhile, in Other Dimensions—

Dormammu, Mephisto, Lucifer, and others were silently awaiting the altered timeline to take effect and for new memories to emerge.

Then, they froze.

Was it their imagination?

The timeline, which had just started to shift... had stopped changing?

Everything had reverted to its original state?!

Through their senses, they perceived an unknown force interfering with the timeline—correcting it.

"Who did this?!"

Dormammu, Mephisto, and the others stared in disbelief.

Interfering with the timeline—correcting it?

Even they couldn't do such a thing!

Yet, it had just happened before their very eyes.

...

—In the Depths of the Universe—

Arishem, the Celestial Judge, who had been watching Earth, was also puzzled.

"What just happened?"

...

—Back in Earth's Orbit—

The crimson glow in Syd's eyes gradually dimmed, and the swirling chaotic energy surrounding him slowly dissipated.

"Hah..."

Carefully sensing his chaotic magic, he had finally figured out what had happened.

Someone had tried to alter the past timeline—to kill him as a baby?

No... or rather, Kevin?

A chill ran through Syd's heart.

He wasn't sure what would have happened if they had succeeded.

Would his body vanish? Or something worse—his very existence erased?

"Thank goodness..."

Syd let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Due to the threat, his emotions had been triggered, causing his chaotic magic to momentarily go out of control—correcting everything.

The words that appeared in Delia's scattered paper?

Those were his subconscious thoughts when his magic flared out of control.

Because of that, the altered reality was corrected, and the woman who tried to kill him was forcibly erased!

Feeling that his magic was only temporarily weakened by thirty percent, Syd felt relieved.

Staring in the direction of the mysterious research facility he had sensed during his magic's outburst, Syd's eyes turned cold.

Without hesitation, he flew toward it at supersonic speed.

The world's various intelligence agencies, which had been monitoring him, were taken aback.

"Where is White Cloak going?"

Even the cosmic beings observing him turned their attention to his next move.

...

—Asgard—

Thor, after receiving Heimdall's notice, was curious.

"What is my brother up to now?"

...

—Earth—

Under the surveillance of countless satellites, amidst the scrutiny of divine and demonic entities, Syd descended upon a certain region in the United States.

Nick Fury's heart sank.

"Damn it!"

He realized exactly where White Cloak was heading.

...

—Inside the Secret Facility—

Senator Richard's projection appeared, his face filled with anxiety.

"He's coming here?"

"What does he want?!"

Panic spread.

Syd hovered in the sky, looking down at the seemingly ordinary grassy field.

Raising his hand, red light surged.

In an instant, under the watchful eyes of satellites, deities, and demons, the earth trembled.

The grass was swept away, revealing the metallic surface of an underground facility.

And then, like peeling off a layer of paper, the metal rooftop was ripped away.

The hidden base was now fully exposed.

Inside, stunned scientists, officials, and even those using the bathroom froze, staring up in shock at the missing ceiling.

Soon, they saw the figure hovering above—clad in white, shrouded in red energy.

"It's really him?"

"White Cloak came here?!"

Gabriel, a bald scientist, forced himself to speak, "White Cloak, why are you here?"

"We have no quarrel with you, so why—"

Before he could finish, Syd's calm voice interrupted.

"You tell me."

"You know exactly what you just did."

"Mind traversal—attempting to alter the past?"

The scientists, politicians, and military officials froze.

How did he know?

No... it couldn't be!

Realization dawned on them, and their faces turned pale with terror.

Meanwhile, the eldritch beings across the dimensions came to a realization.

"So, the altered past was because of these people?"

But how had White Cloak known?
