"This is troublesome..."

Syd's mind raced with thoughts.

Given his current abilities, he was almost certain he wasn't a match for the bald-headed sorcerer.

After all, the Sorcerer Supreme had guarded Earth for centuries, keeping dimensional demon gods like Dormammu at bay. It was clear she possessed formidable power, far beyond his current capabilities.

In the next moment, he considered fleeing.

As his hand touched the Tesseract, he felt his Space Transfer ability being massively amplified.

[Space Transfer Experience +1]

Just as he prepared to leave with the Tesseract, disappearing in an instant, a yellow energy whip lashed out, gripping the Tesseract tightly.

In a flash, his body vanished, but the Tesseract was left behind.

"Who are you?"

Gazing at the spot where the cloaked figure had disappeared, the Ancient One's eyes flashed with surprise.

She glanced at the Tesseract without much concern. She knew it well and understood that it was something left on Earth by Odin, the King of Asgard.

At this moment, all her attention was focused on the mysterious cloaked figure.

She could sense that this individual was brimming with a large amount of mysterious energy. Moreover, she had seen him absorbing the energy of the Tesseract!

Who was he to be capable of such a feat?

What was his connection to Kaecilius?

These questions lingered in her mind.

While the Ancient One pondered, Syd's figure reappeared in a small town 200 kilometers away.

Looking at his empty hand, he muttered, "The Tesseract was taken?"

His brow furrowed deeply.

Just a little more time, and another of his abilities would have been restored. Given a few more minutes, he could have fully recovered his powers!

Unfortunately, the Ancient One's timely arrival had disrupted his plans, leaving him with only three restored abilities: Black Particle, Reflective Shield, and Space Transfer.

Syd found the situation tricky. Retrieving the Tesseract from the Ancient One would not be as simple as taking it from S.H.I.E.L.D., and it was nearly impossible at the moment.

The Ancient One's magical prowess aside, she also possessed the Eye of Agamotto, a powerful artifact containing the Time Stone, making her even more formidable.

Though the Ancient One avoided using the Time Stone due to its potential consequences, she had warned Doctor Strange against using it except in dire situations.

But who knew what would happen if she was pushed to the brink and decided to use the artifact that could control time?

Syd pondered deeply for a while and suddenly relaxed a bit.

"I remember S.H.I.E.L.D. has some weapons powered by the Tesseract, like the energy guns seen in Captain America: The First Avenger. One shot can vaporize a person instantly."

"Perhaps I can have Kaecilius steal some of those weapons, then I can absorb the energy from them..."

Syd's eyes lit up.

Compared to taking the Tesseract from the Ancient One, stealing from S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed much simpler.

However, to keep Kaecilius motivated, he needed to offer some tangible rewards. The promises made earlier hadn't materialized yet.

Syd deliberated on what abilities to lend to Kaecilius.

"Anything too distinctive would be recognized, so it can only be Space Transfer and

Probability Manipulation for now."

After a moment's thought, he decided to lend Kaecilius the Space Transfer ability first. This would increase his chances of successfully stealing from S.H.I.E.L.D.

If needed, Syd could always retract the ability later.

The next second, he focused his attention on Kaecilius.

In the dark forest, Kaecilius and his followers were filled with anxiety.

They wondered if the promises made by the demon god would come true after completing the

task.

Preparing to set up a summoning ritual, Kaecilius suddenly heard the familiar, enigmatic voice in his mind.

"There are several ways to resurrect someone. The Eye of Agamotto, the sacred artifact of Kamar-Taj's Sorcerer Supreme, can reverse time. The Eternal Flame of Asgard..."

As Syd listed the possibilities, Kaecilius's eyes widened in astonishment.

There were so many methods to bring someone back to life?

However, as he listened, he sighed. The difficulty of achieving any of these methods was

immense.

Even using the Eye of Agamotto required a pure heart to gain its acceptance, as it wouldn't respond to an evil wielder.

Kaecilius had once considered obtaining the Eye of Agamotto but had failed.

The other methods mentioned by the demon god seemed equally challenging to accomplish.

"Great demon god, these methods are beyond my reach. Is there a simpler way?" Kaecilius

pleaded.

There was a pause before the enigmatic voice spoke again.

"Continue to serve me, and when the time comes, I will help you resurrect your wife and

child."

Syd made another promise.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Though he lacked the power to revive someone directly, he could potentially help Kaecilius

obtain the Eternal Flame later.

However, Kaecilius was unaware of this and felt neither suspicion nor disappointment.

Instead, he was filled with excitement and gratitude.

He readily agreed to the proposal.

"Great demon god, what else do you need me to do?" Kaecilius asked respectfully.

"I need you to return to S.H.I.E.L.D. and retrieve..." Syd outlined the plan to steal the energy

weapons.

Finally, in Kaecilius's exhilaration, he made one more promise.

"I told you I'd grant you power after completing the ritual. Now I will fulfill that promise."

Kaecilius felt a connection through which he could utilize a new ability.

In the next moment, he vanished from his position and reappeared nearly ten meters away,

much to the astonishment of his followers.

"Space Transfer?"

Kaecilius's excitement was palpable.

Although he could use portals, this ability was far more convenient for combat. It

significantly boosted his combat and survival capabilities!

However, the range was somewhat short...

Kaecilius felt a bit regretful.

Nevertheless, it was still beneficial. He could use portals for long-distance travel and Space

Transfer for short-range moves.

While Kaecilius rejoiced and his followers expressed envy, Syd felt relieved.

Thankfully, Kaecilius wasn't arrogant enough to reject the Space Transfer ability.

After all, as a mage, he must have found Space Transfer quite useful. Maybe it was just Syd

who felt it was somewhat limited.

Finally, Syd reassured Kaecilius.

"Complete the tasks I assign, and I will lend you more powers..."

With that, he severed the connection and turned his focus inward.

With the awakening of the Scarlet Witch's abilities, Syd was curious about his next mimic

target.

He tried to sense it, as he had before.

Suddenly, his vision blurred, and he saw a figure enveloped in light.

In a daze, a name surfaced in his mind.

"Balder Odinson, the God of Light!"

As soon as this name appeared, Syd snapped back to reality.

"Him?"

"The God of Light?"

Syd was astonished.

If it were just the title of the God of Light, he might not recognize it, but with the Odinson

suffix, he knew who it was.

In traditional Norse mythology, Balder, the God of Light, was the son of Odin and Frigg, and

he was the most beloved of the gods.

His death marked the onset of Ragnarok, plunging the world into darkness.

His death brought an endless winter, the Fimbulwinter, and heralded the twilight of the gods.

With Balder's death, the world lost its warmth and light.

Syd was taken aback.

"The next mimic target is him?"

He couldn't imagine what abilities he'd gain from mimicking Balder.

Moreover, this involved Asgard...

Unfortunately, he had to finish unlocking the Scarlet Witch's abilities first.

"But it should be soon."

Syd felt a surge of anticipation.

As he pondered his powers, time flew by, and dawn broke.

The sleeping world had no idea how much things would change upon waking.

Birds chirped.

In a luxurious villa, Tony Stark yawned and headed to the bathroom, still sleepy.

"Good morning, sir," the AI J.A.R.V.I.S. greeted in its usual calm tone.

"Morning, J.A.R.V.I.S.," Tony replied absently, preparing to freshen up.

But before he could start, J.A.R.V.I.S. continued.

"Sir, sorry to interrupt, but I must inform you that significant changes occurred in the world

five hours ago."

Tony, unaware of the gravity, replied casually, "What changes?"

As he began brushing his teeth, J.A.R.V.I.S. outlined the events.

Tony Stark nearly dropped his toothbrush.

"Wait, what did you say? Mutants?"

The world had changed drastically, and now there were these so-called mutants?

Tony couldn't believe it. He doubted whether J.A.R.V.I.S. had malfunctioned or if he was still

dreaming.

Otherwise, how could such an absurd dream challenge his scientific beliefs?

When J.A.R.V.I.S. displayed the global changes and information on mutants, Tony Stark

pinched himself, reluctantly accepting the truth.

"Let me see these so-called mutants..." Tony Stark gestured, flipping through the holographic files.

By the end, he felt like questioning his life choices, wondering if his scientific knowledge was

all for nothing.

These mutants exhibited supernatural abilities!

How was this even possible?

Tony was stunned.

"Wait, what's this..."

He focused on a headline.

Demon, devil...

Mutant Messiah...

City destruction... Tony couldn't believe his eyes.
