Syd felt a bit disappointed.
"Will it be at 75% or 80% when I awaken a new ability?"
"I wonder what the next ability will be..."
As he lamented, time flew by quickly, and before long, evening arrived. Though his divinity had not yet reached level four, his Divine Word had advanced to level four first.
[Divine Word Experience +1]
[Ability: Divine Word (0/2000) Level 4]
As soon as the notification appeared, Syd's words became more profound, mysterious, and perfect—ever closer to the true speech of a god.
He even felt he could easily alter his voice and imitate the sounds of other beings.
Syd was quite satisfied with this ability, as it would make it much easier to disguise himself as the White-Clad Hero without awkwardly changing his voice, and no one would notice anything unusual.
After testing his voice, Syd uttered a single word, "Light."
The next moment, in harmony with his Divine Word, the dark, secluded corner he stood in suddenly shone brilliantly bright!
Darkness was pierced as dazzling white light filled the entire area, engulfing everything in sight.
Within a second, the light had spread over a hundred meters, covering numerous houses. If not for Syd's quick reaction to stop the light from spreading, who knew how far it would have reached.
In an instant, the hundred-meter radius was as though a flashbang had been set off. The brightness was blinding, even to those inside buildings.
"Ah, what's going on?!"
"Shit!"
Screams echoed alongside the sound of objects falling chaotically.
Clearly, in that brief moment, the sudden brightness caused discomfort, resulting in people dropping things and some even getting hurt.
As the light receded, many of those affected sighed in relief, and so did Syd as he quickly left the area.
In the distance, he could still hear some people cursing.
"Was that a flashbang? Damn it, who set it off?!"
After leaving the area, Syd couldn't help but marvel at how different the fourth level was—the effect of the Divine Word had risen drastically.
"It seems I should be careful with my words from now on, or else..."
Syd shook his head.
After further testing, he discovered that anything related to light he spoke of would inevitably come true, though the effect wasn't permanent.
"Maybe at level five, I'll have complete control?" Syd mused, feeling a bit troubled.
As he both worried and continued practicing his various abilities, time gradually passed, and soon it was the next morning.
On a deserted grassy field, a white figure stood in the sunlight.
At that moment, Syd's eyes were filled with anticipation.
After a night had passed, the force of faith had grown more and more, directly pushing his divinity to the threshold of leveling up.
The next second, the notification sounded.
[Divinity Experience +1]
[Ability: Divinity (0/2000) Level 4]
In an instant, Syd felt a mysterious force fill his entire body.
His flesh, blood, soul, and spirit...
In just a few moments, as the force filled his being, Syd felt every aspect of himself was enhanced.
His divine body became stronger, his soul more pure, his spirit more powerful...
The next moment, a red glow appeared in his hand—the glow of Chaos Magic.
Syd sensed that his Chaos Magic had become much stronger.
Raising his hand casually, a fist-sized rock nearby was instantly enveloped in a red glow.
The next second, with a boom, the rock turned into powder...
Syd fell into contemplation.
Although Chaos Magic was only at level four, he estimated that he could easily rip apart a non-Infinity-Stone Thanos now.
Even those Sentinel robots, even if they turned into metallic form, Syd guessed he could tear them apart or blast them to pieces.
"Not bad. Compared to before, when Chaos Magic had to be used in bursts to deal with the Sentinels, this is much better now..."
Even without altering reality, the Sentinel robots should be easy to handle.
After testing the strength of his various abilities for a bit, Syd shifted his focus to his most anticipated area—his flight speed.
Holding a stopwatch, the next moment, his figure disappeared from where he stood.
Boom! A terrifying sonic boom echoed.
In the blink of an eye, Syd appeared in the distance.
Looking at the data displayed on the stopwatch, and after a round of calculations, surprise appeared in his eyes.
At level three divinity, his flight speed barely reached 5.4 times the speed of sound. Now that his divinity had reached level four, his flight speed had increased to 7 times the speed of sound!
"Seven times the speed of sound, huh? This speed..."
Syd found it satisfactory.
Most importantly, if his divinity reached level five, his speed might surpass ten times the speed of sound.
If his Divine Light reached level five as well, his speed would likely double...
Expectation filled Syd's eyes.
Even at his current speed, unless observed from a great distance, no ordinary person could see him move when he was nearby.
To put it specifically, his current speed had already surpassed that of a regular bullet!
With that in mind, he continued channeling the light energy within himself, striving to push Divine Light to level five as soon as possible.
While channeling the energy, Syd casually changed his attire.
The fame of the White-Clad Hero was overwhelming, so he seized an opportunity to switch to Messiah's outfit.
By the time afternoon arrived.
As Syd was quietly moving, he suddenly spotted a screen in a shop playing some footage from a distance.
Hmm? Syd's gaze turned toward it, and he saw an old acquaintance.
There she was, dressed in a light pink dress, her face lightly made up—Irina was speaking.
"Hello, everyone! It's been a while. Today, Irina is bringing you some good news..."
Irina blinked playfully and said, "What exactly is it? Let me keep you in suspense; it'll be revealed soon..."
Watching Irina's broadcast on the screen, Syd's brows immediately furrowed.
In an instant, his gut told him that whatever this woman was saying, it wasn't good.
Or rather, it wasn't good for him.
Just as he thought that, the shopkeeper inside started cursing at Irina. At the same time, an unexpected scene unfolded.
A brawny man in military uniform, with a commanding presence, suddenly appeared five meters to Syd's right.
Syd immediately grew cautious.
He remembered clearly that no one had been there a moment ago!
This man seemed to have...
Teleported here? Just as he thought this, while staying on guard, something unexpected happened.
A force of spatial energy appeared! In the blink of an eye, Syd found himself transported away from his original location, now standing in a deserted wasteland.
Before he could observe his surroundings, a sense of danger engulfed him!
