[Name: Syd Castell]
[Age: 16 (Remaining Lifespan: 136 days)]
[Mutant Ability: Mimicry, Energy Absorption]
[Current Mimicry Target: Wanda (Title: Scarlet Witch, Chaos Magic Wielder)]
(Unlock Progress 1%)
*[Abilities: (Not Unlocked)]
[Energy Points: 13,107]
Staring at this brand-new panel, Syd's eyes lit up.
The next moment, his gaze fell on the 1% unlock progress.
"Already 1%? I didn't even feel anything."
Glancing at the "not unlocked" abilities section, Syd's lips twitched.
After hesitating for a moment, he poured 500 energy points into the unlock progress.
Instantly, the progress bar jumped.
(Unlock Progress 5%)
For a while, no notification sound appeared.
Syd wasn't surprised and continued adding energy points to the unlock progress.
(Unlock Progress 6%)
(Unlock Progress 8%)
(Unlock Progress 11%)
The unlock progress increased rapidly. During this process, Syd noticed that the consumption
for unlocking the Scarlet Witch was slightly different from that of Orochi.
Soon, after adding all the over ten thousand energy points into the unlock progress, the expected notification sound appeared.
(Unlock Progress 31%)
[Ability: Probability Manipulation (Unlocked)]
[Ability: Probability Manipulation (0/100) Level 1]
As soon as the notification sound ended, Syd felt some changes in his body.
"Probability Manipulation, huh..."
Syd was somewhat disappointed that it wasn't Chaos Magic.
After carefully sensing for a while, he found that aside from a slight increase in reaction speed and feeling more mentally alert, there were no other significant changes.
"It seems that true mental powers will only come with the awakening of Chaos Magic..."
Thinking about mental powers, Syd felt a bit apprehensive.
Without mental powers, he lacked confidence. There were simply too many people with mental powers, and he didn't want his memory to be probed or be mentally controlled and enslaved.
But it shouldn't be long now. As long as the progress continues to unlock, Chaos Magic will soon appear!
Putting aside the disappointment of not acquiring Chaos Magic, Syd was still somewhat excited about the Probability Manipulation ability.
After all, Probability Manipulation was the true core power!
Only with Probability Manipulation, combined with Chaos Magic, could he achieve reality alteration!
This was something that pure Chaos Magic could not accomplish!
"Syd, what are you doing?"
Under Venom's puzzled gaze, Syd picked up a walnut-sized gray stone and made a mark on one side.
Then, he tossed the stone into the air while activating the Probability Manipulation ability, guided by that peculiar sense.
"Front side!" Syd silently commanded.
[Probability Manipulation Experience +1]
With a thud, the stone hit the ground.
Syd checked it and saw it landed on the marked side.
[Probability Manipulation Experience +1]
[Probability Manipulation Experience +1]
[Probability Manipulation Experience +1]
Syd tested it three more times, and each time it landed on the marked side.
Seeing the results, he couldn't help but marvel at the power of this ability.
Probability Manipulation!
Of course, with only level one, Probability Manipulation could probably only do trivial things like influencing which side a stone lands on. Modifying the probability of significant events
would likely have very weak effects.
For example, modifying the success probability of the magic ritual would probably only slightly increase the chances.
Thinking this, Syd felt his remaining light energy, realizing it was enough for a hundred uses,
and began frantically tossing stones.
[Probability Manipulation Experience +1]...
Front side!
Front side!
At first, Venom didn't notice much, but soon his wide, toothy mouth gaped open.
He felt like rubbing his eyes.
Syd had thrown so many stones, and each time it landed on the marked side.
"Syd, how did you do that?" Venom asked in disbelief.
Syd was becoming more and more amazing, more and more mysterious. Venom deeply
doubted if there was anything he couldn't do.
[Probability Manipulation Experience +1]
[Ability: Probability Manipulation (0/500) Level 2]
"That's about it," Syd felt.
In this short time, he had only managed to upgrade Probability Manipulation to level two. To
continue upgrading, he didn't have enough light energy or time.
By now, Kaecilius was probably getting anxious.
The next second, his attention shifted back to Kaecilius.
The dark clearing felt stifling.
Kaecilius had activated the magic ritual to contact the demon god but received no response
for a while, causing the followers to grow anxious and even skeptical.
They began to suspect that Kaecilius might be deceiving them and that there was no demon
god at all.
Facing their skeptical gazes, Kaecilius himself felt uneasy and restless.
He even started to doubt if everything before was just an illusion, just a dream?
Just as he felt lost, not knowing what to do, the familiar, profound voice descended like
heavenly music.
"Activate it."
Kaecilius responded excitedly, "Yes!"
He quickly moved to the Tesseract's magical ritual. Under the anxious and expectant gazes of
the five followers, he activated the ritual.
Boom!
The entire magic ritual blazed with blue light.
At the center of the ritual, the Tesseract shot a massive blue energy beam straight into the
sky.
The beam shot up hundreds of meters before inexplicably vanishing, seemingly transportedNôv(el)B\\jnn
to the other side through space.
In the primeval forest.
Under Venom's shocked gaze, a vast energy beam shot down from the sky, directly into the
magic ritual Syd had drawn on the ground.
Shielding himself slightly from the gusts, Syd channeled his light energy and, somewhat clumsily, chanted the incantations.
As he finished the last syllable, a terrifying pressure bore down on him, as if it would crush
him.
Thankfully, the pressure was mostly absorbed by the earth through their connection.
"No wonder it requires a high status. An ordinary person would be crushed into a bloody mist
in seconds." With the magic ritual as the center, dust and stones floated up.
Terrifying spatial energy radiated, causing birds and beasts to cry out in fear.
With no time to think, seeing the magic ritual start to destabilize, Syd activated Probability
Manipulation.
[Probability Manipulation Experience +1]
The originally unstable magic ritual suddenly stabilized somewhat.
But it wasn't enough. Syd found it hard to believe how difficult it was to succeed with this
ritual!
He felt the pressure again, his bones creaking under the strain.
Even with the Tesseract bearing most of the pressure, he was struggling!
In a critical moment, on the brink of life and death, his powers surged, emitting a red glow.
In a daze, Syd softly uttered two words.
"Fusion!"
These words seemed to echo through both universes, faintly heard by some powerful beings.
"Who is it?"
The Ancient One in Kamar-Taj, Odin in Asgard, and other powerful beings opened their eyes.
In ways barely perceptible to them, the universe seemed to change!
