The next second, almost without thinking, Steve raised his vibranium shield despite his injuries and hurled it toward Syd.
Syd frowned slightly, raised his left hand, and a layer of red light appeared, effortlessly catching the shield.
Before Steve could react, with a whoosh, the shield flew back and slammed into him.
With a loud thud, Steve was sent flying, and due to his previous injuries, he didn't get up for a while.
Seeing this, Tony instinctively raised his hand and fired a laser beam.
But to everyone's despair, Syd didn't even move. His chaotic magic easily blocked the laser.
Noticing Thor's reflexive motion to lift his hammer, Syd glanced at him, then opened his right hand as if to summon Mjolnir.
Thor quickly stopped, awkwardly smiling, "Haha, a misunderstanding! I was just... scratching an itch."
He then used his hammer to scratch his back.
Clearly, Thor understood that, given this person who might be his younger brother-could summon Mjolnir, anything he tried would be futile.
At that moment, Thor finally realized why this mysterious figure could wield Mjolnir in the first place. Watching the figure floating in the air, Thor's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.
He could bet that this person was almost certainly his brother!
Otherwise, how could Mjolnir obey him so readily?
"Once I get back, I have to share this good news with Father and Mother. I wonder what their reactions will be," Thor thought eagerly.
With Thor ceasing his actions, Syd turned his attention to the others.
With a flick of his right hand, he easily deflected the bullets that Natasha had fired.
"You are all too weak," he said calmly as he looked down at them.
The sound of the bullets hitting the ground was crisp and clear.
At that moment, Natasha felt an overwhelming sense of pressure, helplessness, and despair.
The figure before her seemed like an insurmountable mountain, blocking her way, making her feel hopeless.
It wasn't just her-Steve, Tony, Loki, the Chitauri commander, and everyone else felt suffocated.
The man hovering in the air seemed like an invincible god, while they were mere ants under the gaze of this deity, struggling in vain.
The gap between them was so vast that even Steve, known for never giving up easily, had to face reality and chose not to continue fighting.
At this moment, Tony, with a self-deprecating smile, muttered, "Maybe only that kid Messiah could put up a fight against the White-Clad Stranger."
Natasha and the others fell silent.
Indeed, they all knew that the only one capable of facing this opponent was likely Messiah.
As they lapsed into silence, on the helicarrier high above, Nick Fury and the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D. also fell into a similar quiet.
"Damn it, another Omega mutant!"
These two Omega mutants were like plagues. How could the world have spawned such monsters?
Nick Fury's face was a mix of frustration and bewilderment.
Also, wasn't the White-Clad Stranger an Omega mutant? How had he become involved with Asgard? Was he truly the son of Odin, the Allfather?
Fury's expression was conflicted.
The man's identity made him feel deeply uneasy.
While Fury was contemplating, back on the rooftop of Stark Tower, the Tesseract glowed brightly and floated steadily into Syd's hand.
Of course, he had cast a protective spell using chaotic magic.
Although his current physique made him immune to the harmful effects of the Tesseract, there was always a risk that it might suddenly teleport him to some far-off place.
Seeing this, Steve and the others didn't make a move. Or rather, they were powerless to stop him.
"What exactly is your goal?" Steve couldn't help but ask.
Feeling the weight of their gazes, Syd nonchalantly revealed a shocking secret.
He spoke slowly, "At the birth of the universe, six stones also appeared. They are known as
the Infinity Stones, representing Space, Power, Reality, Mind, Time, and Soul."
"And each stone contains unimaginable power."
As he spoke, Natasha and the others showed signs of disbelief.
Even Loki appeared surprised and confused.
Tony, realizing something, stared directly at the Tesseract in Syd's hand and asked, "Is that
the Space Stone?"
"These things... there's more than one?" He found it hard to believe.
The others were equally stunned, unable to fathom that there could be six of these stones,
each containing infinite energy.
If the Space Stone alone was so powerful, then what about the others?
Just hearing the names of these stones made them realize how immense their power must be.
"A stone from the beginning of the universe?"
Suddenly, Tony picked up on this detail.
"How do you know about this secret?" he asked, glancing over at Loki, who also appeared
shocked.
As Tony's question hung in the air, the others began to wonder. If these stones had been around since the universe's inception, how could this man know about them?
Was he toying with them, or was this information real?
If he was lying, that would be one thing. But if it were true, the implications of how this man
knew about the birth of the universe were staggering.
Syd, however, didn't bother to respond to their suspicions.
As for what they thought, it didn't concern him.
Whatever actions Tony and the others took regarding the Infinity Stones after learning about
them, he didn't care.
In fact, it was likely that he had deliberately leaked this information so that Tony and the
others would start seeking out the other Infinity Stones.
Once they found them...
A faint smile appeared on Syd's face.
"Speaking of which, the Reality Stone should be appearing soon, right?"
He was quite curious and eager to encounter this particular stone, which was arguably the
most powerful yet also the most difficult to wield.
Of course, besides the Reality Stone, he vaguely recalled other stones-such as the Self Stone
and the Narrative Stone-being mentioned in certain storylines.
