"Who is it?"
"What happened?"
"What's going on?"
Within Kamar-Taj, the Allfather Odin of Asgard, and many other powerful beings, a look of confusion flickered in their eyes.
The universe had changed beyond their perception?
They clearly felt this change.
How was this possible?
Considering the words they heard before the change began, they deeply suspected this alteration was man-made!
But who had such power?
The Celestial Arishem and others were both puzzled and alarmed, eager to know who could perform such an unfathomable feat.
While they took action to investigate the changes and uncover the person responsible, Syd was gasping for breath, supported by the ground.
After a while, he stood up, his gaze sweeping around.
He found that the environment of the primeval forest hadn't changed much, but the once bright sky had now turned to night.
"Did it work...?"
Syd let out a sigh of relief.
He immediately turned his attention to Kaecilius, or rather, the Tesseract.
Now, as long as he obtained the Tesseract, he could restore his various abilities and thus have the means to protect himself!
Sensing his surroundings, he found that Kaecilius wasn't far away, possibly due to the magic ritual.
In the next second, he began making his way there, informing Kaecilius to take the next steps.
In the distance, Kaecilius and his followers were in shock.
"This magic ritual actually worked!"
"Incredible!"
"My god..."
As mages, they naturally studied the specifics of the ritual before setting it up, which only heightened their shock.
A ritual that was almost impossible to complete, succeeded?
Kaecilius and the others had to marvel at the power of the demon god.
Besides that explanation, they couldn't fathom how this ritual could succeed.
At that moment, the demon god's voice echoed in Kaecilius' mind.
"Destroy the magic ritual and leave; you've probably drawn some attention."
Startled, Kaecilius knew this wasn't false. The commotion they caused would certainly attract powerful beings.
In the next second, he hurriedly used magic to destroy the ritual, pocketed the Tesseract, and left with his followers in a rush.
Sure enough, shortly after they left, orange sparks lit up nearby, and a portal was opened.
The bald, uniquely charismatic Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, stepped through the portal.
With a quick scan of the surroundings, he immediately understood what had happened, a flash of shock in his eyes.
Which dimensional demon god had the power to do this?!
Clearly, he knew the function of this ritual.
For a moment, his gaze turned toward the direction Kaecilius and his followers had fled.
"Kaecilius, what have you done?"
The Ancient One realized that Kaecilius' fate had changed.
The original destiny, likely ending with being consumed by Dormammu, had inexplicably disappeared and altered!
Furthermore, multiple diverging fates had split off, none connected to the previous one.
They changed constantly, seemingly influenced by some external force, making his destiny unpredictable.
The Ancient One sensed a veil of mystery shrouding Kaecilius, making his future hard to discern.
Undoubtedly, this was related to the dimensional demon god Kaecilius had communicated with.
The Ancient One's eyes flashed with curiosity.
He felt the need to uncover what Kaecilius had been up to recently.
While he pondered this, Kaecilius, having fled, placed the Tesseract in an open space according to the demon god's instructions.
Not long after, Syd arrived.
"So this is the Tesseract?"
His gaze fell to the ground.
The Tesseract glowed softly, lying there quietly. Despite the earlier consumption, it seemed almost unaffected, just slightly dimmer, recovering even as he watched.
Highly unscientific.
"Syd, don't go near it. I sense danger..." Venom warned, trembling.
Syd was well aware.
The Infinity Stones were perilous, and approaching them recklessly could be life-threatening, even with the Tesseract's shell.
In Captain America, the Red Skull had been transported to space just by touching the Tesseract.
After hesitating, Syd decided to touch it.
To regain his abilities, he had no choice!
He stepped closer, crouched down, and carefully extended his right index finger towards it.
"If anything goes wrong, I'll use light energy as a barrier..."
With that thought, his finger touched the Tesseract.
Where his finger met the Tesseract, blue light flared.
The Tesseract burst with blue light.
Boom!
A vast blue energy exploded, enveloping Syd.
He hadn't expected such a reaction.
Suddenly, the energy seemed to find a conduit, flowing into him.
His entire body was filled with the Tesseract's blue space energy.
Syd felt the broken mimic panel of Orochi rapidly restoring.
Soon, he found that the damages from his power surge had vanished!
At this moment, even without the Tesseract, he could quickly unlock his abilities with energy points.
Moreover, under the Tesseract's influence, his locked abilities were returning at their previous levels.
[Ability: Black Particle (Unlocked)]
[Ability: Reflective Shield (Unlocked)]
[Ability: Space Transfer (Unlocked)]
Just as he was about to unlock the next ability, he heard a portal opening.
From the corner of his eye under the black hood, he saw a bald head.
In an instant, he recognized the person.
The Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One!
Syd's brow furrowed.
Clearly, the Sorcerer Supreme had sensed the Tesseract's energy and came to investigate.
