For now, Ultron set aside his plans concerning ssiah, deciding to wait until he had manufactured more Sentinel robots before taking action.
In the anti, he focused on gathering materials to complete the construction of additional Sentinels.
As more Sentinel units were dispatched to mine and plunder resources, Ultron's material collection rate soared, accelerating the pace of Sentinel production.
Naturally, this also offended nurous factions and organizations...
While Ultron worked tirelessly on his side, Syd was equally focused on enhancing his Divine Core and Sunshine.
Ti flew by, and another two days passed.
A series of notifications echoed in Syd's mind:
[Divine Core Experience 1]
[Sunshine Experience 1]
[Ability: Sunshine (640/2000) Level 4]
Finally, under Syd's expectant gaze, the data for his Level 2 Divine Core underwent a transformation.
[Ability: Divine Core (0/1000) Level 3]
In the next instant, Syd noticed his internal Divine Core, which resembled a diamond with 27 facets, expand by an additional 18 facets, forming a 45-faceted gem.
Syd wasn't surprised by the transformation. His attention shifted to the enhancents provided by the Divine Core.
Red light began to emanate from his hand.
The crimson glow of chaos magic enveloped the ground...
In an instant, the stones on the ground dissolved into vapor under the energy of chaos magic.
With keen perception, Syd carefully assessed the changes.
A few minutes later, he had a clear understanding.
The range and intensity of his chaos magic had increased significantly!
If Level 2 Divine Core amplified his abilities by 40%, Level 3 provided an astonishing 70% enhancent!
Moving to a secluded area, Syd tested his flight speed.
Boom!
A terrifying sonic boom echoed.
If anyone had been present, they would have seen Syd appear miles away in an instant, as if he had teleported, with no visible movent in between.
Or rather, to normal humans, his movent was simply imperceptible.
Syd silently calculated the numbers.
Over Mach 32!
He was surprised.
This speed was beyond the imagination of normal biological beings-it was utterly astounding!
"At Mach 32, no missile should be able to catch now," Syd thought.
At least, he was confident that with Earth's current technological capabilities, no missile
could surpass his speed-unless so absurd advanced technology ca into play.
Considering the abundance of alien and advanced tech on Earth, Syd couldn't entirely dismiss the possibility.
Shaking his head, Syd decided not to dwell on it.
For now, no known missiles posed a threat to him.
This increase in speed significantly improved his safety.
Missiles were no longer a concern!
Next, Syd tested the range of his Divine Speech.
The range had expanded to nearly 140 kiloters!
Compared to the 50-kiloter range he achieved when he destroyed 1,000 Sentinel robots previously, this was an incredible improvent!
Similarly, the range of Sunshine had increased to 10 kiloters.
He could sense that if Sunshine reached Level 5, it would surpass the destructive power he exhibited during his loss of control when he annihilated a city.
"Faith energy is needed to enhance the Divine Core for now. Otherwise, Sunshine would level up much faster," Syd muttered, sowhat regretfully.
After finishing his ability tests, his attention turned to a black stone.
"With a 70% enhancent, I wonder how far my power is from that ancient god of the old days?"
His eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Without hesitation, Syd retrieved the black artifact and the Power Stone.
Venom erged, as expected.
A sudden flash overwheld his vision, and he found himself in a deathly scenario once more. The progression mirrored his previous experience until the point where his abilities activated.
The combined light of his Divine Speech and Sunshine, covering nearly 140 kiloters, struck at the ancient god.
The old god raged, counterattacking with tendrils enveloped in black energy.
The black energy was rapidly disintegrated.
10%...
50%...
90%...
Under the relentless assault of Syd's abilities, the black energy covering the tendrils dwindled
until it was as thin as paper-fragile and almost breakable.
But no matter how hard Syd tried, he couldn't pierce through that last layer.
Just one step away, he could have truly injured the ancient god. Yet in the end...
The deathly vision showed him engulfed by the tendrils.
"Such a surprising power..."
The ancient god's voice was filled with astonishnt and disbelief.
Then it sneered, "What a pity-you were so close to striking ..."
Its voice turned greedy, "Let see what secrets this puppet body of yours holds..."
Watching from afar, Syd's brow furrowed in tension.
In the next mont, the deathly vision vanished, and he returned to reality.
"So close..." Syd murmured, frowning.
Shaking his head, he resolved not to dwell on it.
Whether it was leveling up Sunshine or enhancing his Divine Core, both would break the current
stalemate.
This vision of death only made him anticipate the next one even more.
While continuing to absorb faith energy and train Sunshine, far away in another galaxy, the Guardians of the Galaxy, led by Star-Lord, were on a mission.
Hired by the Sovereign race to eliminate an interdinsional creature, they engaged in a
fierce battle.
Eventually, they succeeded in killing the creature, which had been draining the Sovereign's
energy cells.
"Choose your words carefully when speaking to them," Star-Lord warned Rocket and the
others.
"They're arrogant and quick to anger-say the wrong thing, and you might get executed..." They soon arrived at the Sovereign's temple to et the High Priestess Ayesha.
The golden-hued temple glimred.
"mbers of the Guardians of the Galaxy, thank you for your assistance," said Ayesha, draped in her luxurious golden robes, her skin gleaming with the sa radiant hue.
"Our people are each designed by genetic perfection. We control their DNA, nurturing them in
birthing pods," she explained.
"They are flawless in both body and mind. Their lives cannot be risked."
Hearing this, Star-Lord and the others imdiately understood why the Sovereign, despite
their strength, had hired them.
They couldn't risk their perfect citizens in dangerous missions, so they had to outsource the
work.
