Syd's right hand glowed with red light.
In the next second, the black guns that were placed on the table floated up in unison.
They moved erratically in the air.
[Chaos Magic Experience +1]
Syd controlled their floating while pondering.
"It seems the power at level one is quite weak."
He could clearly feel that floating this many guns was already quite taxing, and he could probably only float about a dozen more before reaching his limit.
Other than telekinesis, Syd didn't notice any other differences with chaos magic.
"I wonder if I can use chaos magic for mind control..."
Syd remembered that at close range, chaos magic could confuse minds, creating illusions in the target's brain.
However, the only one left in the room was Venom, who was staring in shock, and Venom's mental resistance was nearly maxed out, making it impossible to test the effects.
Bang bang bang...
After putting down the guns, Syd furrowed his brow and tried to alter reality.
The next second, both his hands emitted red light, enveloping the table.
However, to his disappointment, the table remained unchanged for quite some time.
"Is the chaos magic level too low?"
Syd felt a bit disappointed but then thought it made sense. If level one chaos magic could do such things, early Wanda wouldn't have been so weak.
Of course, it might also be related to the fact that reality alteration could only be activated in a state of emotional agitation and loss of control, making it a passive ability.
"Forget it, I should focus on leveling up chaos magic first."

Syd's hands glowed red as he practiced chaos magic.
In the following time, various objects in the room continuously floated up.
[Chaos Magic Experience +1]...
Since it was only at level one and his light energy was abundant, it didn't take long for the notification to sound.
[Chaos Magic Experience +1]
[Ability: Chaos Magic (0/500) Level Two]
As chaos magic reached level two, Syd felt his light energy limit increase slightly, absorbing sunlight continuously from the window.
Additionally, the telekinesis limit of chaos magic increased significantly; now, he could lift objects weighing over a hundred kilograms, enough to easily lift an adult.
"Level two is still a bit weak, though my mental power has increased significantly..."
Syd felt his mind becoming more active, making the use of chaos magic much smoother.
A red glow flickered on his hand, and the next second, he directed it to the center of the wooden table.
With a bang, the table was blown apart, leaving a hole in it.
"Not bad, but not great..."
Syd was somewhat dissatisfied and continued practicing chaos magic.
Time passed, and two days later in the morning.
The notification sounded.
[Chaos Magic Experience +1]
[Ability: Chaos Magic (0/1000) Level Three]
With a casual flick, under Venom's surprised gaze, the red glow flashed, and the entire wooden table shattered into pieces, even leaving a pit in the ground.
The next second, both of Syd's hands glowed with the unique red light of chaos magic, and his entire body floated up under its power.
"It works..."
Syd tested it and found that the speed wasn't as fast as his floating flight, and the consumption was similar to using telekinesis, significantly more than the steady state of floating flight.
"Well, it's still usable; at least it's a flight method until floating flight is restored..."
Sensing the increased light energy within him, Syd murmured, "It's time to leave this place."
He had been in this house for several days, and if he didn't leave soon, someone might come knocking.
"Syd, are we finally leaving this boring place?" Venom asked excitedly.
Syd nodded, his figure flashing and disappearing from the house.
Two hours later.
Syd was walking along a secluded path, now dressed entirely in white.
To avoid recognition, he had chosen all-white clothing: white shirt, white pants, white mask, and even white shoes.
As for Venom, he had turned it into a black eye mask, butterfly-shaped, somewhat resembling the masks of Wolverine and Jean from the comics.
Suddenly, urgent footsteps and a stern shout came from ahead.
"Stop, mutant ahead! Raise your hands and stand still!"
Three people, two men and one woman, were running towards Syd, with four armed police officers chasing them.
"Get out of the way!"
A young woman with magenta hair and light green eyes, running at the front, called out to Syd in a panic.
Syd furrowed his brow and was about to step aside.
However, one of the four police officers chasing them glanced at a palm-sized monitor and then shouted at the strangely dressed man in white standing nearby, "Don't let him get away! He's a mutant too!"
What?
Both the three mutants, the other three police officers, and the viewers watching the live feed of the capture were surprised.
Not only were they surprised, but the tens of thousands of viewers watching the capture operation through cameras were also a bit puzzled.
Then, many of the viewers grew excited.
Since the terrifying light incident several days ago, society's and the government's attitudes towards mutants had worsened, becoming even more hostile.
The government had started capturing mutants, and to reassure the public and make them believe mutants could be defeated, many capture operations were broadcast live, including this one.
So, seeing another mutant appear, the viewers felt their fears ease and grew excited.
"God bless, another mutant has appeared!"
"Looks like the officers are going to score again."
"Hurry up and catch him!"
As the viewers eagerly watched, the four police officers exchanged glances and immediately raised their special guns, firing at Syd as well.
Bang bang bang...
Small injection darts containing mutant suppressants quickly shot towards Syd.
However, just as the three mutants looked panicked and the police and viewers were filled with anticipation, the darts stopped mid-air!
What?!
