Chapter 274
[December Bonus Pick Winner: [Starting as a Class 5 Mutant]!]
On Earth.
Under the eyes of countless onlookers, Syd had already grasped the purple Power Stone.
Purple energy spread around him, enveloping his entire body.
Unlike when he had only a fourth-level divine physique, now he could feel that even holding the Power Stone continuously posed no threat to him.
What would be fatal for an ordinary person felt as gentle as a breeze to him.
It was as if the Power Stone was something that only unique beings like him were qualified to wield—mortals had no place using it.
He didn't know what threshold would cause harm while using the Power Stone, as he hadn't tested it, but now seemed like a good time to find out.
Truth be told, he hadn't yet fully explored the Power Stone's potential.
As he held the Power Stone, a series of strange phenomena appeared around him. The stone radiated an intense purple glow, while purple energy enveloped him, and an aura of violet mist spread outward, powerful enough to inspire awe in all who saw it.
The overwhelming energy waves emanating from him were intimidating just to behold.
Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s energy detectors blared in alarm.
Nick Fury, both startled and wary, understood the reason for the recent warning signals from the detectors.
Could it be that the White-Clad Hero was using the Power Stone?
"What kind of power does this stone hold?"
In his uncertainty, he watched as the strange phenomena around the White-Clad Hero quickly dissipated, as if nothing had happened.
At the scene...
Syd hovered calmly in the air, awaiting the arrival of the next wave of Sentinel robots.
As expected, within moments, another ten Sentinels appeared through teleportation, under the watchful gaze of billions worldwide.
Before they could act, Syd unleashed a surge of energy from the Power Stone.
The purple brilliance of the Power Stone shone like a dazzling star in the sky.
In an instant, a terrifying wave of purple energy burst forth from Syd's hand.
The Sentinels, just beginning to move, were engulfed by the purple energy. Then…
Under the astonished gazes of billions, purple cracks appeared on the Sentinels' bodies before they rapidly disintegrated into ash, leaving no trace.
"What kind of power is this? It's terrifying!"
"Oh my God…"
Watching the glowing purple stone in the White-Clad Hero's hand, even the most skeptical could see its power.
This purple stone held an unimaginable force.
In Stark Tower, Thor murmured in surprise, "Didn't Father say that using the Power Stone requires a cost?"
"How is my brother completely unaffected?"
His words left Tony Stark and the others momentarily stunned.
Could that be true?
They closely examined the screen showing the White-Clad Hero, but no matter how hard they looked, they saw no signs of strain.
They brushed it off, assuming that perhaps even the God King Odin could be mistaken.
As the wave of Sentinels was obliterated, another batch appeared with no respite for Syd.
Without hesitation, he unleashed another energy wave from the Power Stone.
Like a powerful attack clearing away lesser foes, the new ten Sentinels vanished in a blink.
Even though they had switched to a metallic state upon appearing, it only delayed the inevitable, as Syd increased the energy output from the Power Stone.
The cycle continued.
Sentinels appeared…
Only to be destroyed…
Five waves…
Six waves…
Under the eyes of billions and various factions, the White-Clad Hero floated dozens of meters in the air, with three radiant stones orbiting around him and the purple Power Stone in his hand.
Like a god, he remained still, eliminating one wave of Sentinels after another.
Everyone's faces were filled with shock.
At a mysterious military base...
Officers and generals wore grim expressions.
Aleksandro, the head of the research facility, and Dr. Bolivar, the creator of the Sentinels, were equally troubled.
The Sentinels, in which they had placed such high hopes, were being cleared away like garbage by the White-Clad Hero?
How many waves had it been already?
The only comfort they had was the remaining 1,400 Sentinels, which gave them a glimmer of hope.
They refused to believe the White-Clad Hero could hold out much longer.
After all, 1,400 Sentinels was no small number!
Moreover, they had taken notice of the purple stone in the White-Clad Hero's hand.
"So this is what they call an Infinity Stone?"
"With this purple stone in his grasp, he possesses such tremendous power?" Aleksandro remarked excitedly. "What if we obtained it?"
Not only him; Dr. Bolivar and the other officers and generals shared similar thoughts.
Looking at the purple stone, they couldn't suppress the greed and desire in their eyes. They longed to snatch it from the White-Clad Hero and claim its unparalleled power for themselves.
General Howell declared, "This stone must be seized!"
While the military made plans to capture the stone, they also adapted the Sentinels' tactics in response to the White-Clad Hero's relentless assault on the robots.
Back at the scene...
Boom!
After clearing yet another wave of Sentinels, Syd waited for the next wave.
But just as this batch turned to dust, ten more Sentinels appeared around him without a pause.
Faced with the close-range Sentinels, Syd instinctively threw a punch.
The Power Stone glowed with purple energy, combined with the superhuman strength of his fifth-level divine body.
Boom!
In an instant, the chest of the Sentinel before him caved in, twisted, and was sent flying at supersonic speed to a distant location, completely destroyed.
Billions of viewers, witnessing the White-Clad Hero's terrifying strength, were speechless.
Was this even human?
The remaining nine Sentinels dissolved into ash under the Power Stone's energy wave.
"Damn it!"
The military tried a few more rapid attacks, but no matter how sudden they were, the White-Clad Hero could react and eliminate the Sentinels effortlessly.
"Increase the number of Sentinels!" General Howell commanded.
