Syd furrowed his brows.
eting Eternity and making a wish was not sothing he was particularly interested in. In fact, he was sowhat wary of Eternity.
However, just because he had no desire for it didn't an others wouldn't. If an enemy were to reach Eternity first and make a wish…
His frown deepened.
If soone wished for sothing detrintal to him, he couldn't be certain what might happen.
At the very least, he knew that with his current strength, he was absolutely no match for Eternity.
"It seems I need to power up quickly—first, upgrade my Chaos Magic to level five, then acquire Baldur's Oga ability."
"Perhaps by then, I'll have a way to counter this threat."
While he was deep in thought, Hercules, noticing his silence, asked in confusion, "ssiah, will you co?"
"If not, I'll go back and inform Zeus…"
Hearing this, Syd pondered for a mont before asking, "Do you an going with you now, or at a later ti?"
He was still curious about Omnipotence City and wanted to see it for himself.
However, if they had to leave imdiately, he would have to decline.
Right now, increasing his strength was far more important than visiting Omnipotence City.
Hercules' eyes lit up at his response. "So, you're agreeing?"
Then, he explained, "The next gathering at Omnipotence City is in fifteen days. I'll co find you then and take you there."
Syd nodded.
Since Hercules had managed to find him this ti, he would likely be able to do so again.
"Alright, see you in fifteen days," Syd said before flying off.
Hercules opened his mouth as if to say sothing but ultimately shook his head in silence.
Originally, he had wanted to chat and get to know ssiah better, but it seed like there wouldn't be an opportunity for that.
For now…
Sweeping his gaze over the modern cityscape, Hercules grew intrigued.
Without hesitation, he descended to the ground, retracted his crimson wings, and started walking toward the bustling streets.
He intended to fully experience modern human society for the next fifteen days.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters
In space, surveillance satellites captured the mont Hercules landed and Syd took off.
At S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury frowned.
"What does this Greek god want with ssiah?"
If it was sothing good, there was nothing to worry about. But if it wasn't…
After so thought, he pulled out his phone and dialed Natasha Romanoff's number.
"Natasha, I need you to investigate soone for …"
While Fury was assigning Natasha to probe into the Greek deity's background and his interaction with ssiah, the U.S. military was also taking action.
They, too, dispatched personnel to investigate Hercules.
...
anwhile…
Syd was contemplating whether to temporarily leave the main universe for a safer one.
If he could upgrade his Chaos Magic to level five in a different universe, he would eliminate the risk of anything unexpected happening before reaching that milestone.
For example, there was always the possibility that Arishem, the Celestial Judge, could suddenly show up.
As he soared high above, feeling the wind against his face, Syd weighed his options.
Which universe should he go to?
At first, he considered the future X-n world but ultimately shook his head and dismissed the idea.
"I should go to an unfamiliar universe instead—sothing that will help gain more experience with multiversal travel."
As for the potential multiversal collisions caused by such travel, Syd ignored them entirely.
After all, a multiversal collision event was inevitable. Even if he refrained from traversing realities, soone else would, leading to the sa consequences.
Better for him to take advantage of it first.
It didn't take long for Syd to decide where he would go.
Aside from the X-n universe, the most familiar one was the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness universe—Earth-838, the Illuminati Universe.
Once he had made his choice, Syd ensured his teleportation would succeed by combining his level-five spatial transfer ability with portal magic.
In an instant, his spatial transfer enhanced the portal spell.
The next second, golden sparks flickered before him, quickly forming a circular gateway.
"This is Universe 838?"
Peering through the portal, Syd's eyes glead with curiosity.
Without hesitation, he stepped inside.
Kamar-Taj
As Syd activated an interdinsional portal, the Ancient One imdiately sensed it.
She paused while pouring her tea, then shook her head and let out a sigh.
She had long stopped bothering with these anomalies.
Besides, even if she wanted to stop it, it was already too late.
Earth-838
With the golden portal closing behind him, Syd officially stepped into Universe 838, landing on the rooftop of a skyscraper.
This world had several key differences from his own, the most notable being the existence of the Illuminati.
Its mbers were unique to this reality:
Reed Richards, representing the Fantastic Four
Charles Xavier, representing the mutants
Black Bolt, representing the Inhumans
A Black female version of Captain Marvel
A female Captain Arica, replacing Steve Rogers
Mordo, representing Kamar-Taj
All of these changes resulted from the unique divergence of this universe.
"I wonder what the current tiline is. Has Infinity War already ended here?"
Compared to Doctor Strange and Wanda, he had clearly arrived much earlier.
Syd glanced up at the sun.
"At least here, no one should disturb ."
With that, he began practicing Chaos Magic.
[Chaos Magic EXP 1]
Elsewhere…
As the sun began to set over a ruined battlefield…
Standing over a defeated foe, the Illuminati mbers—Black Bolt in his black uniform, Professor X in his wheelchair, Captain Carter, Reed Richards, and the Black female Captain Marvel—gazed down at the man before them.
At their feet knelt Doctor Strange.
In the distance, Thanos' lifeless body lay on the ground, his massive blade still embedded in his chest.
Doctor Strange, clad in his tattered blue robes, was disheveled, bruised, and bleeding.
His fingers were blackened—clear signs of corruption from the Darkhold's magic.
"You have nothing left to say, Strange?" Captain Marvel asked coldly.
Her expression was tense, showing clear disdain toward Strange.
She had her reasons.
To defeat Thanos, this Strange had turned to dark magic and used Dreamwalking—a forbidden practice.
