Starting as a Class Five Mutant Chapter 586

"Hmm... if I use the Dreamwalking Spell from the Darkhold, would my consciousness be able to travel to other universes?"

Previously, due to the lack of a parallel self, Syd hadn't been able to use dreamwalking to traverse other realities.

But now that this form of information projection had erged, perhaps it was worth trying again?

Truthfully, Syd still held deep curiosity toward the multiverse.

So far, the universes he had traversed were all diverging branches from the main 616 universe—realities where events developed similarly.

But in truth, within the multiverse, anything was possible.

There were even versions with a female Tony Stark, not to ntion countless other divergences.

For instance, Syd rembered one reality quite vividly—an extre divergence where a zombie virus had transford nearly all beings into the undead.

And another? The Cancerverse, often dubbed the Cthulhu Universe.

The multiverse... was terrifying.

Far from the calm and order of the main universe—catastrophic annihilation was routine.

As he mulled over this—

A curious voice suddenly broke his thoughts.

"Creator God, do you know what happened to our universe's Balder?"

It was Steve Rogers—Captain Arica—who asked.

Others, like Tony Stark, also looked on with curiosity and concern.

After all, if this world had possessed such a powerful being all along, perhaps none of their tragedies would've happened.

Thanos? He wouldn't even dare show his face.

They couldn't help but feel a little envious of the other universe.

Syd glanced at them, then calmly replied, "Strictly speaking, the Balder from this universe... was rely my projection. Once a certain point is reached, he naturally dissipates."

Silence fell.

Everyone stared at the radiant figure floating in the air.

"Projection...?"

They couldn't believe it.

Especially Odin and the Asgardians—they were stunned.

They understood what he ant.

He was saying... he was the only real one.

The others were nothing more than fragnts. Echoes.

A chill ran down their spines.

Especially Tony and the Earth-born heroes—the thought made their blood run cold.

They'd already encountered parallel universes.

They knew other versions of themselves existed out there.

So the multiverse... was real.

And now—this divine being claid to be the only version of himself across all universes? That the others were rely projections?

"What kind of power is this?"

"A force beyond the multiverse?"

"A multiversal-tier being?"

They stared at him in awe and fear.

If he was telling the truth... then the power he had displayed so far was only a fraction of his true might.

His real strength? Likely beyond their comprehension.

They were shaken to the core.

From afar, Syd twitched slightly at their expressions. He could tell they'd misunderstood.

If only he was that powerful—it'd be wonderful.

He sighed inwardly.

To et those expectations, he would have to truly beco a multiversal-level entity.

And besides, being "unique" wasn't all that rare. Most multiversal beings were unique—any others were just lesser aspects or avatars.

At that mont, Thor, now filled with envy, suddenly thought of sothing.

If this Balder was real...

And their Balder was fake...

Then didn't that an... this one was his true little brother?

A joyful light filled his eyes.

Odin and the others nearby also looked on, their gazes conflicted.

—

While emotions swirled around them, Syd suddenly sensed sothing.

His gaze shifted toward the distance.

Seeing his movent, Thor and the others instinctively turned to follow his line of sight.

And the next mont—they froze.

In the previously empty space, a shadow had silently appeared.

A figure draped in a pitch-black robe, its hood covering its face.

The parts that were visible chilled the soul.

No flesh.

Only bone.

This skeletal figure stood motionless, its empty eye sockets glinting with eerie light—as if it were gazing at them with curiosity.

Anyone caught in its gaze felt their soul tremble—like death was creeping in.

"A skeleton?"

"Who is that?!"

The crowd murmured in alarm and fear.

A skeleton had just... appeared.

And it was watching them?

But it wasn't just that.

The mont it looked at them, it felt as if sothing ancient and cold had grabbed their hearts.

Unable to bear the tension, Thor asked aloud, "Who are you?"

The skeletal figure opened its jaw, and the next mont, a chilling voice echoed directly into everyone's mind.

"You may call ... the Goddess of Death."

The crowd blinked in disbelief.

Thor, in particular, scratched his head. "Goddess of Death?"

"Wasn't Hela the Goddess of Death?"

This skeleton... was claiming the sa title?

Valkyrie and the others were equally confused.

Then, a cold chuckle spread through the air.

"I am the true Death."

What did that an?

They were even more confused now.

But Syd was calm.

Unlike the others, he instantly recognized this being.

He spoke in a serene, transcendent tone:

"One of the five Primordial Creator Gods—Death."

He fell briefly into contemplation.

As an abstract cosmic entity, this being had no fixed form.

Like Eternity and the others, Death could appear however it pleased.

This ti, she had chosen the form of a robed female skeleton.

Sotis, she manifested a fleshed form—but more often, she preferred the skeletal visage.

As Syd's voice—like the truth of the cosmos—resonated across the area, everyone froze once again.

"Creator God..."

"Death...?!"
