Chapter 386: Chapter 386
Chapter 386: Chapter 386
The Pharaoh's gaze was filled with confusion as he recalled the recent denial from this extraordinary being.
Could it be possible that this person truly wasn't the Sun God Ra?
If not, with such terrifying speed and strength on display, what other god could possess such power?
Staring at the figure in the sky, effortlessly nullifying wave after wave of incoming attacks, the Pharaoh's eyes reflected awe and astonishment.
In the sky, Syd stood, watching the relentless blue energy beams shooting toward him.
Though harmless, the sheer persistence was irksome.
With a slight frown, he contemplated briefly before raising his gaze to the origin of the blue energy bursts.
In the next moment, his pupils contracted slightly.
A vivid display of the distant scene unfolded before him.
He could see not only the blue energy beams but also white clouds, and an approaching barrage of white missiles yet to reach him.
"What kind of missiles are these?"
Moreover, they hadn't utilized spatial capabilities to transport the missiles directly to him. What were they planning?
"Trying to lull me into complacency before striking?"
"Or gathering enough to unleash a massive attack?"
With these thoughts, Syd continued observing the distant scene, his eyes tracing upward.
For someone who could control light, this level of visual precision posed no challenge, as though he had acquired a remote viewing ability.
Soon, he spotted ten satellite-like orbital weapons.
"The distance is quite far..."
Dodging the attacks while frowning, Syd calculated. Even at his current speed, it would take some time to reach and destroy those orbital weapons.
Suddenly, an idea struck him-portal magic.
Since he had a clear view of the location...
In the next moment, yellow sparks of light flashed in front of him, forming a shimmering portal.
On the other side of the portal lay the location of the orbital weapons.
As soon as the portal appeared, military officials from Egypt, other nations, and the United States noticed it.
"This is..."
Realization dawned quickly-it resembled the portals that appeared during the Battle of New York.
A teleportation portal?
Not good!
As panic set in, they scrambled to respond, but in the very next second, explosions erupted. Wrapped in red light, all ten orbital weapons detonated simultaneously.
The screens went dark as the officers' faces turned grim.
"Damn White Knight!"
One of the generals immediately barked orders at a mutant named Evelyn.
"Hurry up! Teleport those missiles to the White Knight's location!"
Evelyn, already marked with the coordinates of the missiles, paled and hesitated.
"There are too many of them... I can't..."
The officers, however, showed no sympathy.
"Do it now, or do you want your family to die?" a colonel barked viciously.
Under pressure, Evelyn had no choice but to comply.
With a strained scream, veins bulging on his face and blood streaming from his nose, space around the missiles began to shimmer.
One by one, ten, then a hundred white missiles, enveloped in spatial ripples, vanished from their original positions and began to appear near Syd.
However, Syd, who could perceive distant scenes, immediately sensed the anomaly. His response was swift.
Faster than their actions, he retrieved the Space Stone.
Blue light emanated from the gem.
In an instant, the emerging spatial distortions around him became chaotic, disrupted by the Space Stone's immense power.
The missiles, on the verge of being teleported, returned to their original locations.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the far reaches of the sky, a series of explosions erupted. From where Syd stood, massive fiery mushroom clouds could be seen blooming in the distance, each spanning several kilometers. Over a hundred explosions together created a catastrophic spectacle.
In a hidden military base, Evelyn let out a pained cry, blood pouring from his nose. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed, unconscious.
His ability was no match for the power of the Space Stone, and the backlash took a heavy toll.
"Useless!"
"Mutants really are worthless!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The officers, their faces grim after witnessing the events, cursed. With Evelyn unconscious, they had no way to deal with the White Knight. Their operation was forced to a halt, leaving them to watch as Syd moved on unhindered.
Having dealt with the nuisance, Syd lowered his gaze to the ground below, where Lisa and the Pharaoh stood.
Scanning them briefly, his eyes lingered on the three guardian statues within the pyramid.
From these statues, he sensed faint traces of divine power from another realm.
This confirmed the existence of the Egyptian gods.
Of course, this wasn't news to him.
Like the Norse gods, the Egyptian gods had mostly severed their ties with humanity.
Or perhaps it was humanity who first abandoned them, leading the gods to withdraw from
worldly affairs, deciding to stay uninvolved.
This explained why they were absent during major events like the Battle of New York.
Similar to the Norse gods residing in Asgard, the Egyptian gods lived in a realm called the Celestial Heliopolis, entirely separate from Earth.
While most Egyptian gods had disappeared, occasionally, one would select a human as their avatar to observe humanity.
Not all gods, however, had forsaken humanity. Syd recalled that Khonshu, the Moon God, still occasionally intervened, appointing Moon Knights to carry out what he deemed just.
After musing on this for a while, Syd dismissed thoughts of the Egyptian gods. Though their control over laws and phenomena was impressive-manipulating the weather or resurrecting the dead-their actual combat strength wasn't necessarily superior.
If it came to someone like Khonshu, Syd was confident in handling him. Glancing once more at the astonished Lisa and the dejected Pharaoh, Syd disappeared in a
flash, his terrifying speed carrying him far away.
Under the scorching sun, Lisa and the others heaved a sigh of relief, while the Pharaoh's face
was filled with disappointment.
"He... left?" "Could he really not be the Sun God Ra?" the Pharaoh murmured.
He had witnessed this being's immense power but failed to sense the radiant energy of the
sun, leaving him disheartened and doubtful.
As he pondered, a sound caught his attention. Turning, he saw Lisa and her group attempting
to slip away quietly.
