Initially, Tony Stark was surprised by the news of mutants, but deep down, he wasn't too concerned, confident in his ability to handle them.

That changed when he read the headline.

"A demon among mutants, the Messiah?"

"A city destroyed by an out-of-control ability?"

The more Tony read, the more shocked and unnerved he became.

An entire city obliterated?

He had to question the truth of this report.

Could someone really destroy a city? Was this even humanly possible?

With J.A.R.V.I.S.'s help, Tony watched a recent video.

A young man in black floated in the sky, radiating intense light. The sun's rays shone directly down, illuminating the entire city.

Tony was taken aback.

Under the light, countless objects—roads, cars, buildings, people—were reduced to dust particles.

When the chaos subsided, all that was left was a massive crater and a few remnants of buildings; everything else had vanished.

At that moment, Tony couldn't ignore the mutant threat any longer, especially this particular mutant.

This person was incredibly dangerous!

Tony's mind raced, trying to think of ways to counter this threat, perhaps develop something to counteract this mutant's power.

While contemplating, Tony also became curious about the boy.

Who was he?

How did he manage to destroy a city?

A flood of questions filled his mind.

Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D. had already noticed something amiss.

As they compiled and reviewed anomalies, every agent present was shocked.

"My god, it's like we're in a different world!"

"How did these people and things suddenly appear?"

Most changes weren't too drastic, but the sudden appearance of so many mutants was alarming!

"Are they Inhumans?"

Nick Fury flipped through the files, looking grim. He remembered the obelisk S.H.I.E.L.D. had once confiscated.

Most who touched it died, but the few who survived gained superpowers.

Research revealed these individuals had a special Inhuman gene.

Initially, Fury thought these mutants might be Inhumans. But after reviewing more information and videos, he had to reconsider.

Under the watchful eyes of several agents, the young man in the video pointed skyward, and a blinding light erupted.

Buildings melted in the intense heat, flames engulfed the city, and screams echoed everywhere.

In the end, the city was reduced to dust, the aftermath of the sunlight's residual energy!

Gasping sounds filled the room.

Every person was horrified.

Fury gripped his hand tightly, his one good eye fixed on the video of the boy in the sky.

He had to admit, these mutants were far scarier than the Inhumans, capable of such terrifying feats.

In such a short time, a whole city was wiped out!

Both the woman at the beginning and the boy who ultimately destroyed the city were immensely terrifying.

Fury reached for a bulge in his pocket—a black beeper.

This pager was for summoning Captain Marvel. Fury was torn, unsure whether to call her back from space.

With Captain Marvel here, they could surely counter this mutant boy, perhaps even kill him!

Fury had great confidence in Captain Marvel.

"This mutant must be contained. If he loses control again, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

He murmured.

Fury began strategizing how to capture this mutant boy with minimal casualties, then control him to prevent another incident, or eliminate him if necessary.

This mutant was too dangerous!

Fury was baffled by how such a small body could unleash such devastating power.

His mind was filled with questions.

If it came to it, he would call Captain Marvel to deal with this mutant!

"Investigate this mutant thoroughly. Find his location and devise a foolproof capture plan!"

Fury ordered sternly.

Agents immediately began their tasks, with a few exchanging glances, their eyes glinting with a hidden agenda.

"We must get this weapon of mass destruction for Hydra!"

"He's ours!"

Hydra operatives were equally eager to find this city-destroying boy and analyze his weaknesses.

As long as he was a living being, he must have vulnerabilities and moments of carelessness; no one was invincible!

Former S.H.I.E.L.D. director and undercover Hydra agent Alexander Pierce was confident.

Once they found the mutant boy and successfully captured him, they could brainwash him into becoming Hydra's ultimate weapon of terror!

Then, who could stand against them?

Pierce felt a surge of excitement.

Simultaneously, S.H.I.E.L.D. and other organizations were secretly investigating the cause of the world's sudden changes and the emergence of these anomalies.

As agencies took action, American citizens waking up that morning were in for a shock.

Especially in places like Hell's Kitchen, it was a terrible day.

Who would have thought that after a night's sleep, the world would become even more dangerous?!

"Mutants?"

"Damn mutants!"

People were filled with fear, especially upon discovering information about Syd Castell.

"These monsters, especially that freak!"

"Damn it, will I be gone by tomorrow morning?"

They felt an unprecedented sense of insecurity.

While agencies and even superheroes sprang into action, Syd was diligently collecting energy points.

With the sunlight beaming down, his energy points steadily increased.

[Photon Energy +1]

[Photon Energy +1]

Syd knew many were searching for him.

"Seems I need a bit of a disguise."

He discarded his black attire, planning to find new clothes, and had Venom transform into a black mask to cover most of his face.

He hoped this would buy him some time to restore more of his powers before they found him.

"I wonder how Kaecilius is doing. Has he managed to get those Tesseract-powered weapons?"

Thinking of his capable subordinate, Syd's eyes gleamed with curiosity.

The next moment, he focused his attention on Kaecilius.
