Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 207:



A notification sounded in Syd's mind.

[Divinity Experience +1]

[Ability: Divinity (484/500) Level 2]

Hearing the prompt, Syd was a bit surprised.

"It hasn't been that long, and yet the power of belief has increased this much?"

His thoughts immediately returned to the group of people surrounding Audrey earlier.

It was obvious now that this newfound surge of belief came from them.

In fact, the flow of belief seemed to be growing, suggesting that those people might have spread the word to others.

Although the overall number of believers was still small, compared to the sporadic trickle he'd been getting before, this was a significant improvement.

"The belief these people are generating should be enough to push my divinity to Level Three in no time."

Syd felt good about this.

While waiting for his divinity to upgrade, he shifted his focus to strengthening his other abilities-Divine Speech, the power of light, and his Asgardian physique.

He began to speak, enhancing the strength of his Divine Speech, while simultaneously channeling his photon energy to increase his Light Power and the resilience of his Asgardian body.

It was an unprecedented moment for him he was upgrading four abilities at once! "One..."

Each ability continued to rise steadily.

[Divine Speech Experience +1]

[Light Power Experience +1]

[Asgardian Physique Experience +1]

As time passed, the sun set and the moon rose, followed by the dawn of a new day.

The morning sunlight streamed down.

Feeling the warmth of the sun, Syd shifted his attention back to his divinity.

After a full night of absorbing belief, his Level 2 Divinity had reached...

[Ability: Divinity (499/500) Level 2]

A few minutes later, Syd heard the long-awaited notification.

[Divinity Experience +1]

[Ability: Divinity (0/1000) Level 3]

In the next instant, Syd felt a surge of mysterious power coursing through his body, mind, and soul.

With this increase in strength, every aspect of his power grew stronger, and his ability to control his internal energy became significantly easier.

Soon, the sound of a sonic boom echoed as Syd began testing his new abilities.

Through his experiments, he discovered that his flight speed had increased to 5.4 times the speed of sound, a notable jump from the 4.5 he had previously achieved!

"My speed now far exceeds that of most conventional missiles."

Syd was confident that if the missiles that had attacked him a while back came again, he could easily outmaneuver and surpass them.

With his current speed of Mach 5.4, he could leave those missiles far behind.

Of course, Syd was well aware that there were faster missiles out there-ones far quicker than what he could currently avoid. His flight speed was only barely sufficient for now, and he would need to continue improving it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Moreover, flight speed and ground speed were two different things. Syd couldn't always rely on being in the sky, so his physical speed on the ground would need to increase as well.

Once his Asgardian physique reached Level 5, his overall speed would likely get a significant boost. He wondered if he could break the sound barrier and achieve sonic speed while on the ground.

Syd looked forward to the possibility.

Thinking about missiles made him recall the military that had launched them at him.

When he eventually discovered the location of their base, he'd be sure to pay them a visit.

And if he happened to encounter any military personnel in the meantime, Syd wouldn't mind sending them to meet their maker.

He suspected the military was already plotting something, likely devising new ways to deal with him.

Shaking off these thoughts, Syd refocused on increasing his power.

Before long, the familiar notifications of his abilities increasing sounded once again.

Aside from these ongoing upgrades, Syd had another plan in mind-seeking out Jane, Thor's former love interest from the original storyline.

Why "former"? Because, thanks to his interference, Syd noticed that Thor and Jane didn't seem as close anymore. Their relationship was now more flirtatious than anything serious.

Syd found the situation amusing.

Of course, while he found it interesting, he didn't feel any awkwardness or guilt about it.

In the original timeline, Thor and Jane were together, but Thor was clearly not the type for romance. He was always too busy with battles and Asgardian affairs, leaving little time for

Jane.

Thor wasn't the kind of person who would get anxious after not seeing Jane for a day; he wasn't in love to that degree.

At first, Jane could understand this, but as time went on, she became frustrated. She complained that after getting together with Thor, they hardly ever saw each other, making her feel like she was with a stranger.

Her words were filled with sadness, and while Thor knew she was upset, he offered no comfort —just an awkward excuse that he was busy, which only made her feel worse.

On top of all that, the difference in their lifespans was another reason their relationship wasn't meant to last. Odin had even strongly opposed their union, knowing that Jane's few decades were nothing compared to Thor's long life, and Thor wasn't around often enough to make their relationship worthwhile.

During this period, Thor had once unintentionally asked Mjolnir, his hammer, to protect Jane.

Mjolnir responded by glowing, seemingly agreeing to Thor's request, though he hadn't noticed it at the time.

This was why Jane could lift Mjolnir and later become the female Thor.

Unfortunately, Thor's bad luck struck again. Jane, who had taken up the mantle of Thor, eventually died of cancer, fading away in Thor's arms-yet another person to die before him.

"However, because of my interference, Thor never got the chance to ask Mjolnir for that

favor. So now, it's unclear if Jane can even lift Mjolnir."

Syd didn't care much about the messy love story between Thor and Jane, though.

His interest in Jane lay elsewhere.

"The town battle with the Destroyer, which Loki had sent, was quite some time ago. If things

go as expected, Jane will soon stumble upon the Reality Stone..."

Syd stroked his chin, deciding he would try to steer Jane in the right direction, maybe even speed up her discovery of the Reality Stone-otherwise known as the Aether.

Thinking about the Aether, Syd couldn't help but recall its connection to Asgard.

The Aether originally belonged to the Dark Elves, and thousands of years ago, the cruel Dark Elf Malekith attempted to use the Aether to return the universe to its dark origins.

Syd smirked at the thought.

"That Dark Elf really had lofty ambitions. I think he might've been delusional. Without the support of other Infinity Stones, the Dark Elves wouldn't have been able to harness the

Aether's full power."

"The power of an Infinity Stone is always limited by its wielder..."

"If the Reality Stone were that easy to use, Thanos would've gone straight for it. Why bother collecting all the other Infinity Stones and creating the Gauntlet?"

Syd shook his head.

In the end, Malekith never had the chance to fully wield the Aether's power. The righteous

Asgardian forces dispatched via the Bifrost dealt with him swiftly.

And eventually, the Aether ended up in the hands of the Asgardian army.
