Luckily, this guy wasn't as fast as Quicksilver or the Flash; otherwise, he might have taken me out in an instant!
With his current strength, he wasn't yet at the level where he could easily handle speedsters.
Even the progenitor mutant Apocalypse had no solution against Quicksilver's speed. If not for his self-healing ability and quick neural response, which allowed him to use his powers to lock Quicksilver's feet, he might have been killed!
Of course, while this guy wasn't as fast as Quicksilver, he was still very fast, likely approaching the speed of sound, but just a bit slower when attacking.
Syd kept a close eye on his opponent's movements. The moment the guy moved, he would use spatial shift.
He wasn't idle, though. These three had caught him off guard, but if he didn't fight back now, he'd be a fool. Did they think he was so easy to bully?
The next second, his figure blurred and disappeared from his original spot.

[Spatial Shift Experience +1]
With two consecutive spatial shifts, he appeared beside the black woman.
The moment he appeared, his fingers touched her chest.
"Divine Finger!"
[Divine Finger Experience +1]
Bang!
In an instant, the mirror space shattered, and the black woman screamed, a large hole appearing in her chest.
The next second, she flew backward.
At the same time, a shrill scream escaped her mouth, making everyone, including Syd, instinctively cover their ears.
Sound waves swept around, causing buildings to tremble and collapse.
In the chaos, the screams of innocent victims could be heard.

Syd flashed to a distant spot, watching the destructive sound waves with a lingering fear.
Dust filled the air, and various buildings collapsed...
It was truly terrifying. He hadn't expected the black woman to unleash such power before dying. Was this a loss of control over her ability?
Syd knew that mutants could be unreasonable at times. Normally weak, if they lost control, their danger level could skyrocket.
This woman's ability was already formidable, and now that she had lost control, it made sense that she would explode with such power.
Regardless, she was definitely dead!
Without self-healing or defensive abilities, a single divine finger was enough to send her to the crematorium!
In the distance.
Watching this scene through binoculars, Jack and Albert instinctively swallowed.
Damn, this was too terrifying!
Seeing the sound waves wreak havoc in the distance, toppling houses and sending people flying with blood spurting, the two men shivered.
If they had been on site, they would have been killed instantly!
"Mutants are indeed monsters!" Jack thought in fear.
Especially the boy who had killed a mutant with ease. He terrified them.
Of course, the outcome of the battle was still uncertain. Although one person was dead, the other side had a speedster. If Syd made one mistake, he could die too!
"Inge!"
The two white men looked at the dying Inge on the wall and turned their furious eyes toward Syd.
"I'm going to kill you!" Marco roared, his body emitting magma. In an instant, he hurled a large mass of magma.
Syd watched the incoming magma with a calm expression, his figure flashing and disappearing from the spot.

Three black particles appeared, flying towards Marco like bullets.
"Ah..."
Unable to dodge, Marco's arm was grazed by a black particle, instantly losing a chunk of flesh.
[Spatial Shift Experience +1]
Seeing the speedster disappear, Syd immediately vanished from his spot.
[Spiritual Light Beam Experience +1]
Instead of attacking the speedster, the next second, a spiritual light beam erupted from beneath Marco's feet.
With a scream, Marco flew backward, blood splattering.
"Marco!" Kurban's eyes turned red as he glared at Syd.
"You just wait!"
Kurban's figure blurred and disappeared.
[Spatial Shift Experience +1]
Syd appeared on the rooftop, surprised to find that the guy hadn't attacked but had chosen to leave.
"He's retreating?"
Surprised, Syd didn't chase after him.
Not that he could catch him even if he tried. Even at full attention, he could only see the guy's afterimage. Without careful focus, he could easily lose sight of him, and spatial shift wouldn't help.
Moreover, facing a speedster, Syd didn't dare get too close. Even during the battle, he had kept a safe distance, allowing time to react.
If he got too close, even with spatial shift, he worried he might get killed in return.
Unless he awakened self-healing abilities, he wouldn't be able to fight recklessly like Wolverine or Deadpool.
Thinking this, Syd didn't let his guard down. His figure blurred and disappeared from the spot.
[Spatial Shift Experience +1]
[Spatial Shift Experience +1]
In the distance.
Seeing the mutant boy disappear, Jack put down the binoculars, swallowing nervously. "Boss, are we still going after him?"
Looking at the chaotic battlefield in the distance, like it had been plowed by bombs, cold sweat broke out on his back.
Albert gritted his teeth, saying, "What's there to fear? He's just a mutant. As long as he can't react..."
As he spoke, his voice weakened, clearly realizing the consequences if they failed to kill him instantly and he fought back!
"Let's go, chase him!"
In the end, Albert couldn't resist the lure of three million dollars. He called out to Jack, packed up, and ran in the direction the boy had left.
As Syd and the two men left, alarms sounded in a lab base ten kilometers away.
"Hurry, we can't let that symbiote escape!"
A team of fully armed security guards rushed towards the corridor.
Bang bang bang!
Countless bullets rained down ahead.
In front, a middle-aged man with a blank expression ran frantically, his agility more like a cheetah than a human.
Thud, thud, thud, bullets pierced flesh...
"These damned humans!"
A hoarse, enraged voice emerged from the man's body.
Amidst the whistling wind, faint complaints could be heard.
"Weak carbon-based lifeforms. These humans are so frail. Isn't there anyone stronger? Are they all this fragile..."
The sound of gunfire, accompanied by chaotic footsteps, echoed in the area.
