The surviving mutants on the other side stared in disbelief at the now-empty space where Bastion had once been.
Just like that... he was dead?
He didn't even get to do anything.
An instant kill?
A being with countless abilities, capable of wielding powers freely-soone on par with an Oga mutant—had been erased in a re mont?
Their gazes shifted to the black-clad figure floating in the air.
So, this Pri Universe Oga mutant had already surpassed what was comprehensible?
Even Oga mutants were nothing before him?
What kind of terrifying power was this?
Elsewhere
Watching Bastion turn to dust through satellite footage, the entire world was left speechless.
An Oga-level being... just gone?
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters
Fury's expression was grim.
His worst fears had been confird.
ssiah had indeed surpassed the level of Oga mutants.
He was a Super Oga Mutant-sothing beyond understanding. Otherwise, there was simply no explanation for what had just transpired.
The more he thought about it, the more his headache worsened.
ssiah being an Oga mutant had already been troubleso enough.
Now, he was a Super Oga mutant?
"...At least White Knight still seems normal," Fury muttered to himself, as if desperately clinging to this thought.
At least among the two Oga mutants, only ssiah was a monster-White Knight was still reasonable.
Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
Professor X sat in silence, his mind in a daze.
Just like that... the crisis was over?
Elsewhere
Ghost Rider Johnny, witnessing everything unfold, lost every last ounce of courage to face ssiah.
Without hesitation, he fled.
At the sa ti, in the shadows, phisto and other lurking entities narrowed their eyes in unease.
Their previous sches regarding Earth and ssiah had just been completely abandoned. They had intended to observe, perhaps make their move when the ti was right.
But after witnessing ssiah still having the strength to wield such power effortlessly, they imdiately dismissed any plans.
Still, they hoped soone else would step forward to test ssiah.
However, it seed everyone had the sa idea.
The Battlefield
ssiah-Syd-remained still for a mont, then turned his gaze toward the massive space portal before him.
He raised his left hand.
This portal was a liability.
Syd had no interest in allowing Arica-or any other nation-to obtain anything from the other world, whether technology or anything else.
In the next instant, Divine Touch activated.
The swirling vortex froze, turning into a massive mirror-like surface.
Crack-BOOM!
Before the eyes of everyone-both in the Pri Universe and across the portal-the structure shattered like glass.
Dazzling shards scattered, leaving behind only a massive void.
Then, as space repaired itself, the battlefield returned to normal.
The portal was gone.
As if it had never existed.
Across the portal, the surviving mutants were filled with regret and frustration.
If they had known, they would have rushed into the Pri Universe!
Now, there was no chance.
Even though Bastion was dead, along with a million Sentinel robots, it didn't an the
Sentinels were completely gone.
There were still Sentinels elsewhere.
Would the few of them left be able to deal with them?
That was a very uncertain fate.
anwhile, back in the Pri Universe, Arica's governnt and world leaders were
seething with rage.
A whole world's worth of resources was just gone!
ssiah was a wasteful fool!
If they could, they would strangle ssiah on the spot.
But they couldn't do a damn thing.
As for Syd himself?
He didn't care about their anger.
There was still one more thing to do.
The remaining Nimrod-class Sentinels.
Even if they were scattered across other cities, he had no intention of leaving any behind.
The next second, space stone energy surged into his body.
With a thought, he teleported away.
In a nearby city, Syd reappeared.
Using his enhanced vision, he quickly spotted several Nimrod-class Sentinels.
With a shift in space, Syd materialized beside one.
Flash!
In an instant, a lesser form of Sunshine enveloped it.
The Sentinel was erased instantly.
Another flash-Syd disappeared.
Within a short ti, over a hundred Nimrod-class Sentinels had been annihilated.
If any remained, he didn't know.
After finishing his cleanup, Syd teleported once more, returning to the spot where he had
encountered Ghost Rider.
But Johnny was long gone.
phisto had disappeared as well.
Syd simply shrugged.
"Not like they matter."
Suddenly-
A shadow flickered a few ters away.
phisto reappeared, a smile plastered on his ancient face.
"ssiah, I look forward to our future cooperation."
Syd raised an eyebrow. "Cooperation?"
"I don't recall agreeing to anything."
phisto wasn't fazed.
His grin remained as he said, "Don't be so quick to dismiss the idea. One day, we will have
reason to work together."
"Perhaps you'll face a foe beyond your power, and need my help."
"Or maybe I'll seek to conquer a place and require assistance."
"Mutual benefits, ssiah. A true partnership."
As he spoke, black energy flickered in his palm.
A small, thumb-sized black orb materialized.
Within the orb, dark energy swirled.
phisto continued, "If you ever need my aid, simply crush this orb."
"I will co."
Without waiting for a response, he tossed the black sphere.
Syd narrowed his eyes.
His divine instincts told him there was nothing inherently wrong with the object.
With a slight frown, he caught it.
Seeing this, phisto let out a satisfied breath.
Smiling, he bowed slightly.
"ssiah, until next ti."
A burst of black smoke enveloped him-
And he was gone.
Syd glanced at the orb, then casually stored it in his spatial ring.
Then, feeling the weight of countless watching eyes, he let out a cold snort.
