Syd felt exasperated, thinking they were overreacting.

If he were truly that powerful, would he still be pursued by Sentinels? The idea of humanity disappearing or an apocalypse was sheer nonsense.

Even in the state of Chaos Magic activation, he couldn't alter reality to that extent.

Chaos Magic was only at level four for him, and he could clearly sense a range within which it was effective.

Although the range was considerable, it was nowhere near as terrifying as they imagined. Even the Sentinels in the warehouse disappeared only because they were relatively close. Moreover, he had already exited the state of Chaos Magic activation.

It was a passive ability, and its occurrence was indeed passive.

In truth, whether in comics or movies, even the Scarlet Witch could not control this ability freely most of the time; otherwise, she would have been invincible, and no one could resist her.

Of course, there were benefits to this situation. At least this time, Syd didn't feel any issues with his interface; only his internal light energy was depleted, unlike the berserk state of the Serpent's power.

Still, he sensed that this Chaos Magic incident wasn't a true outburst, merely a small-scale event.

It was similar to the scene in Doctor Strange 2, where the Scarlet Witch casually erased Black Bolt's mouth. It was an occasionally triggered, controllable state.

And as everyone knows, Chaos Magic is truly terrifying only when it loses control completely.

As he pondered, Syd suddenly thought of something.

"I wonder if I'm mimicking the movie version of the Scarlet Witch or the comic version?"

If it were the movie version, that would be manageable. If it were the comic version, then things would indeed be more outrageous.

At this moment...

Feeling the light energy slowly returning within him and seeing the still shocked crowd in the distance, he pondered.

Given the drained state of his light energy, staying here would be too dangerous. It would be best to leave quickly before they could react.

With that thought, he moved immediately, his hands glowing red with Chaos Magic, though he was actually using the Serpent's floating flight ability.

The next second, he vanished from the spot, quickly moving away.

Seeing him disappear, the crowd finally snapped out of their shock.

"The White Knight is gone!"

"The new Omega-level mutant just ran away?"

Some people felt regret for not stepping forward to stop him.

After all, this was an Omega-level mutant, someone on the same level as Messiah! Others felt

a sense of threat and a desire to eliminate this new Omega-level mutant.

If this new Omega-level mutant couldn't be controlled, it would be best to eliminate him! In reality, such a significant threat shouldn't exist!

This sentiment wasn't just in the hearts of those in power; millions of viewers watching the live broadcast felt the same.

Just imagining the new Omega-level mutant's powers made them shudder.

No one wanted to suddenly die! This new Omega-level mutant seemed even more terrifying than Messiah.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At least Messiah's power had a process that allowed them to understand their death, but this

new one...

"Omega-level mutants are monsters, freaks. How can such beings exist!"

"Messiah is disgusting enough, but this Omega-level mutant is even worse!"

"Damn it..."

In their fear, they hoped the government could solve this problem. Some even took action, sending emails or making calls to complain.

At the Live Broadcast Site

Watching the disappearing White Knight, Tony hesitated but didn't pursue.

Compared to Messiah, he was less inclined to confront this presumably adult individual with such dangerous mutant abilities.

At that moment, someone in the crowd spoke up.

"Does anyone know the identity of this White Knight?"

"What does he look like?"

With those words, Tony and others remembered that the White Knight had always kept his identity hidden since his first appearance. No one knew what he looked like or who he was.

In the next moment, various factions started planning.

The next step was to uncover this person's identity.

Not just because he was one of the only two remaining Omega-level mutants, but also because of his abilities.

Knowing his identity would make it easier to find him and formulate targeted plans.

While they were considering this, Syd, now far away, noticed several tails following him,

indicating someone was trying to track him.

Fortunately, with his current speed, he quickly shook off those pursuers.

Additionally, with his keen mental senses, Syd felt a faint sense of surveillance from above.

In an instant, he realized what was happening.

"Satellites are monitoring me?"

Syd's face darkened.

All this relentless pursuit had also left him feeling annoyed.

In a flash, he thought of the research base.

"Taking advantage of the recent Chaos Magic outburst that wiped out the Sentinels, the research base should have minimal defenses now. I should go and destroy it!"

Syd's eyes lit up.

He had wanted to do this for a while but had previously felt his power was insufficient, and

the base likely had many Sentinels, so he had shelved the idea. But now...

Syd's figure flickered as he sped up. His hands glowed red as he used Chaos Magic to boost his

speed.

To avoid satellite surveillance, he chose routes with many buildings and trees.

He also used spatial transfer a few times to evade the feeling of being watched.

Sensing the surveillance lift, Syd sighed in relief.

"The next targets are to destroy that base and increase my power."

Syd felt his current power was still somewhat lacking.

Facing over a hundred Sentinels before, if not for the fortunate Chaos Magic outburst, he

might not have survived.

He needed to increase his power enough to withstand a hundred Sentinels.

Moreover, he knew that the Sentinels were only temporarily eradicated. He didn't believe

those people wouldn't continue their production.

Soon, he might face even more Sentinels! If he didn't strive to increase his power, he might as well be waiting for death! "I wonder what it's like to be at the Father level?"

Syd suddenly thought of the Father-level power.

Currently, the threats he could encounter were at the Father level, like the Ancient One and

Odin.

But neither had truly shown their full power. Even when the Ancient One fell to his death, it was more like a small skirmish, displaying close combat prowess.

Syd seriously doubted that this was merely a case of holding back power; it seemed more like

a deliberate restraint.

Even Doctor Strange, who had trained in magic for just a few years, could use various dazzling

spells and hold off Thanos for a while.
