Brotherhood of Mutants.
The news playing on the black television screen left Magneto, Erik, in disbelief.
"Incredible, an Omega-level mutant is really this powerful?"
Erik was amazed.
Watching the scenes on TV, where the White-Clad Hero kept altering reality...
No matter how many times he saw it, it always left him incredulous.
Especially the rumor-that the strange light phenomenon over Earth not long ago was also related to the White-Clad Hero.
"Another Omega-level ability?"
"Or is it the power of a god?"
Magneto was filled with questions, unsure whether this White-Clad Hero was a mutant or a god.
Out of the two known Omega-level mutants, Messiah was definitely a mutant, no doubt about it. But the White-Clad Hero's identity remained a mystery-he just appeared out of nowhere...
Could he actually be a god? Magneto was initially disappointed, then thought of something else.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Could he be a hybrid?
It was rumored that this White-Clad Hero was Thor's brother. Could it be that he was the child of Odin and a human?
A god and an Omega-level mutant?
Otherwise, it was difficult to explain why Thor, also a god, was so weak while the White-Clad Hero's powers were so overwhelmingly strong, to the point of being terrifying.
Of course, these were just his thoughts. The actual truth remained unknown.
Still, compared to the White-Clad Hero, Magneto preferred Messiah. Not only because Messiah was undoubtedly an Omega-level mutant but also because he had an inexplicable fondness for him.
...
X-Mansion.
Professor, along with Cyclops and the others, were also watching the latest news.
Everyone had a look of shock on their faces.
"Professor, was the strange phenomenon from a while ago really related to the White-Clad Hero?" Cyclops, Scott, murmured.
Charles glanced at him, hesitating.
He wasn't entirely sure about that, but if it was true, he couldn't even imagine the terrifying power that the White-Clad Hero possessed.
Thinking about it, he turned to the burly figure beside him.
"Logan, could you help me find Messiah?" Professor X asked worriedly.
Logan, was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He knew why the Professor made such a request. Besides the fact that Messiah was someone Logan knew, it was also because mutants were not in a good situation lately, often being hunted by Sentinel robots.
With their current strength, they had no hope of dealing with the Sentinels; they were powerless.
Only Messiah could handle those Sentinel robots! Having made up his mind, Logan discussed with Cyclops and the others before preparing to search for Messiah in the last place he disappeared.
While they took action, the circle of sorcerers at Kamar-Taj was also watching the news.
...
In a dimly lit room.
Kaecilius and a dozen other sorcerers were filled with shock, and their expressions quickly turned grim.
It was hard for them to believe that someone so powerful could exist.
Especially since this person was their enemy.
The thought of losing the Tesseract and the Mind Stone to him recently only made their expressions darker.
"The Tesseract and the Mind Stone have been taken by him. How are we supposed to explain this to the Great Demon?" Kaecilius murmured in concern.
Because of this, Kaecilius hadn't dared to contact the demon proactively for some time, and the demon hadn't reached out to them either, which only made him more anxious, afraid that their great master had already abandoned them.
Meanwhile, watching the news where a passerby speculated that the recent phenomenon was related to the White-Clad Hero, Kaecilius and the others felt even more fearful.
Of course, regarding the exaggerated phenomenon, they were unwilling to believe that it was done by the White-Clad Hero and preferred to think that it was the work of their great demon, their master.
As various factions discussed the New York invasion event, some ordinary people were also making small moves.
With Syd's identity as Balder, the God of Light, fully exposed, the majority of people were fearful, intimidated, and frightened. However, a small portion felt excitement and
exhilaration.
These people were either sick, longing for power, or simply admired strong beings and gods, hoping to gain the attention of a deity. They began to offer their faith.
It could be said that, with a large population, there would always be all sorts of people. This aspect came as a surprise to Syd.
Because, without realizing it, he felt an increasing force of faith surrounding him.
More and more...
While surprised, Syd began to absorb it.
For a moment, system notifications kept popping up.
[Divinity Experience +1]
[Divinity Experience +1]...
The notifications kept coming.
The continuous influx of faith was pushing his divinity closer and closer to the threshold for
leveling up.
[Ability: Divinity (398/1000) Level 3]
"It still needs some time..." Syd muttered.
Estimating the speed at which the faith was coming, he figured it would be ready for an
upgrade by tomorrow afternoon.
Of course, if the supply of faith increased, it would happen even sooner...
As for how the faith came to him, with just a little thought, Syd knew the answer. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Thor really is a good guy. Without his big mouth spreading the word, my divinity might still be at level one..."
Even when gods didn't show themselves, there were people who offered their faith, let alone when a real god was so obviously present. Naturally, ordinary people would try to worship... After all, this world would never lack greedy people; there would always be those trying to get something from a deity.
He thought about this for a moment, then paused, murmuring, "Hmm, that's not entirely
true..."
In the Marvel universe, there were indeed heaven and hell, so it wasn't like miracles didn't exist; he just hadn't encountered them yet.
There were even Ghost Riders, werewolves, vampires, mummies...
Thinking about these supernatural beings, he soon dismissed the idea. Aside from heaven,
hell, and other deities to be cautious of, vampires were the ones who should be worried if they
met him.
While his divinity approached a level-up, Syd didn't sit idle. He kept channeling the light
energy within him, striving to level up his divine power and divine body to level five as soon
as possible before heading to Asgard. Meanwhile, he muttered a string of words.
[Divine Light Experience +1]
[Divine Body Experience +1]
"One times one is one..."
[Divine Word Experience +1]
Simultaneously, he directed all his energy points toward the unlocking progress.

The next second, the unlocking progress blurred.
