At that mont, Syd considered a new possibility.
"Could it be that the stronger I beco, the more information and knowledge I unconsciously release?"
He pondered further, imagining that as his power grew, the mysteries and complexity inherent to him would also deepen and expand.
If just by existing he could drive people mad, how much worse would it be when his strength reached a higher level?
Perhaps there would co a ti when his re presence in a place would be enough to plunge everyone into insanity and mutation.
He thought back to the scene of the Old One's descent, his expression darkening.
"What a terrifying ability..."
"Does this an I've essentially beco an Old One myself?"
While Syd mulled over this, discussions about him continued across the world.
His overwhelming power had thrown countless people into panic and fear.
Yet, so sought solace in more comforting explanations.
A young man nad Marko shared his thoughts online:
"Everyone, calm down. ssiah's power is indeed terrifying, but I don't think it's invincible."
His comnt was t with imdiate ridicule.
"That light extended over who-knows-how-many miles, and you're saying it's not invincible? What would count as invincible to you? You've clearly lost your mind!"
"Exactly! With the wave of his hand, ssiah could wipe out everything within a 200- kiloter radius. How is that not horrifying?"
"I can't even sleep at night thinking about it. What if one day we just... vanish while dreaming?"
Angry and frightened responses flooded in, with people venting their anxiety.
Marko, unfazed, continued calmly:
"Think about it. Didn't this latest outburst look a lot like the ti ssiah lost control and destroyed a city?"
"I suspect that ssiah's abilities only reach these levels when he loses control. Under normal circumstances, his effective range might be only 15 kiloters."
The comnt stunned many readers.
Reflecting on it, they realized there was indeed a similarity between ssiah's recent display and his earlier uncontrolled destruction.
Could this theory be true?
The possibility gave many a sense of relief.
If ssiah's effective range was truly just 15 kiloters, it was far less terrifying than 200 kiloters.
Perhaps he wasn't so invincible after all.
Marko added confidently, "We'll know the truth the next ti ssiah makes a move. I'm sure I'm right!"
Many who read his post began to smile.
Yes, the next ti ssiah acted, they would finally see his true limits.
Surely, no one could lose control every ti they fought, and his actual strength would eventually be revealed.
Across the globe, countless people felt a weight lift from their shoulders.
anwhile, at a Secret Military Base
Officers, Commander Alessandro, and Doctor Bolivar also noticed the discussions online.
Their initial unease lted away.
"So, ssiah is still manageable!" Alessandro chuckled.
Then his expression hardened with resolve.
ssiah had lived long enough. Perhaps it was ti to make the ultimate decision-no matter the cost, he had to be eliminated.
Stark Tower
Thor clumsily navigated a laptop, reading the sa posts.
As he did, a grin spread across his face.
"As I thought, my brother, the White Robed Hero, is the strongest!"
"ssiah?"
"He's just average!"
Nearby, Natasha Romanoff and the others, who were discussing how to deal with Ultron, overheard Thor's comnts.
Tony Stark and the rest exchanged exasperated looks.
"Thor's obsession with his brother is ridiculous," Clint muttered.
Dark Dinsion
Dormammu, anwhile, had reached out to his surviving followers to gather information about Earth's strongest beings.
A fanatical female follower nad Carrie spoke reverently, "Lord Dormammu, Earth has many powerful figures. Among the most famous are Magneto; Professor Charles Xavier of the X-n; S.H.I.E.L.D.; and..."
"And?"
Dormammu grew impatient.
"Enough about these insignificant creatures. Tell about the most powerful ones. Like
that..."
The image of the black-clad figure flashed in his mind.
Then he realized he didn't even know the man's na.
"That human in black," he said.
"Human in black?" Carrie paused, then nodded as realization dawned.
"Lord Dormammu, are you referring to ssiah? He's an Oga-level mutant..."
She proceeded to describe ssiah in detail.
As she spoke, her tone grew somber. "Besides him, Lord Dormammu, there's another Oga-
level mutant-the White Robed Hero!"
What?!
Dormammu's mind reeled.
The Ancient One hadn't been lying after all?
"When did Earth gain two beings of such power?"
Dormammu couldn't believe it.
He had observed Earth for thousands of years, even clashing with the first Sorcerer Supre,
Agamotto.
Though he had invaded Earth multiple tis, each attempt was thwarted by successive
Sorcerer Supres.
Yet, in all those millennia, nothing like ssiah or the White Robed Hero had ever appeared.
"How can two beings of this caliber exist simultaneously?"
Dormammu's curiosity piqued.
"What powers does this White Robed Hero possess to rival ssiah?" he asked.
Even Dormammu found it hard to imagine how soone could match the man capable of
unleashing such terrifying light.
He focused his attention on Carrie, noticing her expression shift.
Her reverence for ssiah turned into an even deeper awe and fear as she prepared to describe
the White Robed Hero.
What's going on?
Dormammu's interest deepened.
