As Syd observed the pixelated appearance of the Elder God's tentacle, a flash of understanding crossed his eyes.
"So that's the second spell the Ancient One cast?"
It made sense now why she had confidently left to deal with Dormammu.
Sure enough, while the black tentacle of the Elder God lood ominously, its corruptive influence was entirely neutralized. No one was succumbing to madness this ti.
From above, a telepathic ssage bood:
"Insignificant insect, now that the woman is no longer interfering, let's see how you resist !"
"Your only fate is to beco my puppet!"
Reading the Elder God's words, Syd stared at the dark tentacle with a glimr of determination.
He needed to draw the Elder God's full form into this plane.
While he contemplated his strategy, the world watched the broadcast with bated breath, unable to look away despite the looming danger.
"No sound anymore!"
"And... mosaic?"
Relief swept through the viewers as they realized the imdiate threat of insanity had been mitigated.
"Is ssiah facing off against the tentacle monster?"
Live Broadcast
Irina's voice trembled as she addressed her audience.
"Viewers, it seems the military intervention won't be necessary. This ti, it looks like ssiah won't make it through..."
Her voice grew softer, almost a whisper.
"When ssiah dies, I wonder... when will our turn co?"
Her lancholy words silenced her audience, filling them with despair.
While their mories of the Elder God were hazy, remnants of its apocalyptic power lingered in their minds like a waking nightmare.
And as for ssiah? His fate seed sealed.
Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
Professor Charles Xavier watched the broadcast with deep concern.
Due to his telepathic abilities, the recent chaos was still vivid in his mind, replaying like a nightmare.
Faced with a power so far beyond comprehension, how could ssiah survive unscathed? Charles had no hope for a positive outco and prepared himself for the worst.
His sigh echoed in the silence of the room, further dampening the spirits of Logan and the others.
Stark Tower
"I wonder if my brother will show up. If he were here..." Thor muttered, his tone a mix of hope and dread.
Compared to ssiah, Thor felt more faith in his brother, the White Knight.
If his brother were here, perhaps the situation would improve.
But could even the White Knight prevail against such an overwhelming force?
Thor wasn't sure. He hoped his brother would either show up to fight or flee Earth altogether.
Tony and the others shared similar thoughts, silently praying for a miracle.
Hong Kong, One Kiloter Away
The Spear Bureau agents stood speechless, staring at the sky's apocalyptic display.
Breaking the silence, Li Shui sneered.
"We're dood, but at least ssiah will fall first. That's a small consolation."
His envy and disdain for ssiah, the untouchable Oga-level mutant, bubbled to the surface.
If the White Knight were here, Li Shui might have hesitated. But ssiah?
Not long ago, Li Shui had even entertained the thought of defeating ssiah himself, given the chance.
If soone like him could challenge ssiah, how could he stand against this apocalyptic monstrosity?
ssiah's death was inevitable-it was just a matter of ti.
At the Scene
Ultron's thoughts mirrored those of Li Shui and the others.
If ssiah struggled against a few hundred Sentinels, how could he possibly contend with this cosmic horror?
Even Ultron's ambition to ascend to godhood now felt absurd in hindsight. Compared to the Elder God's tentacle and Dormammu's dark presence, ssiah seed inconsequential.
As the world braced for the worst, the black tentacle moved.
With a sonic boom, it shot toward Syd at a speed almost too fast to perceive.
Syd had anticipated the attack.
With a slight shift of his body, he dodged the spear-like thrust of the tentacle.
The razor-sharp winds it generated cut through the air, brushing past him like blades.
"I can't use Sunshine directly..."
Syd calculated his next move.
At that mont, his hand erupted in blue light. A massive beam of energy shot forth, extending 300 ters in an instant.
[Spirit Beam Experience 1]
With a swift motion, Syd swung the Spirit Beam like a sword, slashing at the retreating tentacle as it prepared another strike.
Shhhk!
The beam sliced into the black tentacle, cutting halfway through.
Black blood, shimring with a strange radiance, spilled from the wound.
"The power isn't enough..."
Seeing the partially severed tentacle, Syd's expression grew grim.
Even without the protective dark energy the Elder God usually employed, the tentacle was
still incredibly resilient.
And he hadn't even managed to sever it completely.
Tony Stark and the others watching from afar felt a chill.
The Spirit Beam, a seemingly unstoppable power, had failed to fully cut through the tentacle.
Was ssiah truly outmatched?
Hope dwindled as despair set in.
Li Shui's face flickered between schadenfreude and hopelessness.
The conclusion was inevitable-everyone knew it.
Back on the battlefield, Syd remained composed despite the circumstances.
While he hadn't severed the tentacle, his real objective had been achieved.
In the void, the Elder God roared in fury, its anger palpable.
A mortal had dared to wound it?
Syd smirked as he felt a telepathic pulse from the void.
"Is that all you've got?"
"Even an Elder God isn't invincible..."
"INSOLENT INSECT!"
The Elder God's rage echoed across the battlefield, its presence intensifying.
