Chapter 333: Chapter 333
Chapter 333: Chapter 333
It didn't take long for discussions to erupt worldwide. Apart from debating the identity of the bald figure in yellow robes, the topic on everyone's lips was Messiah's strength.
Soon, someone calculated the extent of Messiah's power.
Among other things, the mere fact that his power spanned a range of 200 kilometers left everyone shaken and terrified.
A middle-aged man muttered in fear, "Are all Omega mutants this monstrous?"
"With such power, who can stop him, let alone eliminate him?"
"Is Messiah invincible now, apart from the White Robed Hero?"
Hearing his murmurs, those around him wore equally anxious and fearful expressions.
While people across the globe debated, Dormammu, still within the Dark Dimension, began reaching out to his followers to investigate Earth's strongest beings. He wanted to confirm whether the Ancient One was deceiving him.
Meanwhile, Syd had arrived in a secluded alleyway.
He wasn't concerned about the debates or Dormammu's plans. His full attention was on the black liquid stored in his spatial ring.
As he basked in the sunlight to replenish his internal energy, Syd summoned the black liquid from the ring.
The strange substance floated in mid-air, defying gravity, its glossy black sheen seemingly alive.
The moment he looked at it, a deep craving surged within him-the desire to consume it.
This urge gave Syd pause.
"Should I absorb this?"
It could bring incredible benefits-or it could introduce unknown dangers.
His expression shifted as he weighed the risks and rewards.
Then, the Old One's final words and the image of the Celestial Arishem came to mind.
A moment later, he made his decision.
Syd extended his right hand toward the black liquid.
Sensing a threat, Venom suddenly awakened and darted out of his hand.
"Wait, Syd..."
Venom tried to speak, wanting to stop him.
But before he could finish, Syd's hand had already touched the black liquid.
In an instant, the substance reacted like a predator finding prey, extending tendrils toward his hand in a bid to consume him.
Venom, witnessing this, froze in terror. His black, amorphous form trembled as he leapt to the ground, staring anxiously at Syd.
At that moment, Syd could feel the black liquid's innate desire to devour him.
Unfortunately for it, his divine body was far too powerful. This was not a prey it could easily
consume.
The liquid writhed on his hand, but it achieved nothing.
Even so, Syd did not underestimate its danger.
He could sense its corrosive nature-far more potent than sulfuric acid. Had he been an ordinary human, not even a trace of him would have remained.
After a brief hesitation, Syd willed his divine core to absorb it.
His divine core emitted a brilliant light, and the black liquid was quickly drawn into his body, consumed entirely by his divine core.
Lowering his hand, Syd focused on the changes within.
The once radiant, sunlit core had darkened to a murky yellow.
If it had once been the bright morning sun, it now resembled the twilight of a dying day.
It seemed his divine core had assimilated the strange power of the black liquid.
Syd could feel his divine power grow stronger, though he wasn't sure by how much-it would require testing.
Beyond the increase in power, there was something... unsettling.
Suddenly, he noticed something unusual and turned his attention outward.
Venom, now a trembling puddle of liquid on the ground, had widened his eyes in fear.
He had begun hearing strange murmurs, like a chorus of whispers in his mind.
Venom wasn't alone. Sensitive individuals across the city heard it too-a haunting melody, almost like a hymn of praise.
The eerie song resonated:
"When starlight shines, mouths ajar, who sings the stars to life?
Whose shadow roams in the dark?
When darkness blankets the world, who receives the god's special praise?
When silence engulfs the old world, who is gifted eternal hope?
All life repeats, but darkness never fades.
All existence vanishes, but the god forever remains..."
The song faded into an eerie silence, leaving Venom and others dazed.
Before they could process it, the murmurs shifted, growing more sinister.
Syd frowned, turning his gaze toward Venom.
He could see that Venom's form was beginning to distort, as though on the verge of a
grotesque mutation.
The whispers grew louder, filled with temptation:
"...O ignorant, fallen beings, come forth!
Offer your soul and flesh to the god.
Become one with us and glimpse eternal truth!
...Come... Come..."
The sinister voices seemed to lure people, tempting them to worship a great god and fall into
the abyss.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Across the City
Those who had been discussing Messiah moments earlier now froze in place.
"I think I hear something..."
A burly man named Caleb, in his thirties, murmured in confusion.
"So do I," another man replied, equally bewildered.
The eerie whispers echoed in their minds.
As they listened, their expressions turned vacant.
"Hehehe..."
"O ignorant beings, the god has descended. Join us in worshiping the great god..."
"...Come... Come..."
The alluring voices filled their ears, urging them to kneel before the god and give in.
"I think I see the god..."
"Yes, the god has arrived..."
"Hahaha..."
Their laughter grew maniacal, echoing throughout the city. The closer they were to the
alleyway, the stronger the influence.
In the Alleyway
Syd could see with his own eyes that Venom's mind was unraveling.
If not for their strong connection, Venom would have already gone insane, his body mutating
beyond recognition.
Raising his hand, Syd released a dim yellow light.
The light, once warm and comforting, now carried an unsettling sense of decay and finality.
Noticing that Venom was nearing his limit, Syd focused on controlling the strange power.
Gradually, the eerie yellow light brightened, shedding its sinister aura.
