Two hours later...

After spending some time experimenting, Syd finally understood what this new ability was all about.

At first, he didn't notice anything unusual, mainly because there was no one else around. But after a while, when he overheard someone speaking in a language he didn't understand, something clicked.

He realized he could actually understand what the person was saying!

It was obvious that the person wasn't speaking English, yet Syd could comprehend every word.

Even more surprising, when Syd, now disguised, greeted the person, they seemed to understand him as well.

At this moment, everything became clear-he understood what "God Speech" truly was. Upon further testing, Syd found that not only could he understand all human languages, but others could also inexplicably understand what he said. This applied even to animals, though their thoughts were so simplistic that all he could hear were things like "hungry," "want food," or "tired."

Additionally, his own voice seemed to have become more pleasant and profound, carrying an aura of mystery.

Syd was utterly amazed by this.

At first glance, this ability seemed trivial, but in reality, it was incredibly useful.

Under the power of "God Speech," language was no longer a barrier for him!

Of course, despite understanding how "God Speech" worked, Syd still felt puzzled.

In the shadowed corner where he stood, he glanced at Balder's ability panel, a look of confusion on his face.

[Ability: God Speech (70/100) Level 1]

"Level 1?"

From his perspective, the ability should already be maxed out. He had tested it on numerous languages, even understanding dialects.

It felt like a fully-developed passive ability. Yet, it was only at level 1?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Syd couldn't help but feel both confused and curious.

What would happen if he leveled it up further?

Would his voice become even more perfect and mysterious?

Syd furrowed his brow slightly, sensing that it wouldn't be that simple.

This feeling came not only from his intuition but also from common sense.

Clearly, Thor and Loki didn't possess this ability. Syd speculated that this power might originate from the real mythological Balder.

"Wait, maybe Thor and Loki do have something similar at a basic level..."

He recalled that in some versions of the comics, Thor could understand various languages, and whatever he said would be automatically understood by others.

As for the real-world Thor, Syd wasn't certain since he hadn't paid close attention. However, this was only the level 1 effect of "God Speech." It was clear that there were four more levels, and the full potential was likely much greater than what Thor and Loki displayed! At the very least, this ability must be connected to the true mythological Balder's powers... As he thought about it, Syd began to speculate.

In mythology, the words spoken by gods often carried mysterious power, especially curses uttered in anger or hatred, which always seemed to come true.

Particularly when cursing mortals, those curses almost always proved effective. Many mortal tales revolved around curses uttered by gods.

In addition to curses, there were also blessings. For example, gods with dominion over beauty could bestow beauty upon others with a mere word.

Some mortals, after receiving a blessing from a god, could even borrow a portion of the deity's power.

Syd's eyes flickered with realization.

"Could it be that as I level up 'God Speech,' it will gain these effects?"

If that were the case, "God Speech" would be far more complex and powerful than he initially thought a mysterious, divine passive ability!

At that moment, Syd couldn't help but feel excited about the potential effects of leveling up this new power.

Moreover, what thrilled him the most was that every time he spoke a complete sentence, "God Speech" would automatically gain experience!

"Incredible..." Syd murmured.

[God Speech Experience +1]

The speed at which it leveled up was almost as fast as his floating ability!

This might be yet another ability that would reach level 5 first!

Unable to hold back, Syd decided to ignore the remaining 17,000 energy points for now and focus entirely on leveling up "God Speech." He would return to Balder's unlocking progress

later.

In the next moment, under Venom's confused and bewildered gaze, Syd began to mutter random multiplication tables.

"One times one is one, one times two is two..."

[God Speech Experience +1]

[God Speech Experience +1]

As Syd continued to chant these nonsensical words, it was as if a swarm of flies were buzzing around Venom's ears, reciting mantras that made his head spin. Venom nearly thought Syd

had lost his mind.

Before Venom could ask what was going on, Syd heard another notification.

[God Speech Experience +1]

[Ability: God Speech (0/500) Level 2]

The moment the notification appeared, Syd noticed a slight change in his voice. It became

even more profound and mysterious, resembling the speech of a true god.

In addition, whenever he spoke, there was an odd feeling, though he couldn't quite put his

finger on what it was.

"Level 2 doesn't seem to reveal much yet?" Syd frowned slightly.

Without dwelling on it, he continued practicing.

As he repeated his words, the experience points for "God Speech" steadily increased...

...

Some time later, another notification chimed.

[God Speech Experience +1]

[Ability: God Speech (0/1000) Level 3]

In that instant, Syd felt a noticeable difference.

At this moment, with his heightened perception, he sensed that every word he spoke now

carried a special rhythm.

The sensation was unique, though Syd found it difficult to describe.

Thinking about it, he turned his gaze to the bewildered Venom, deciding to use him for a little

experiment.

The next second, he spoke to Venom.

"I bless you, may light always accompany you..."

The words echoed around them, filled with mystery and rhythm, as if they were connecting to

something beyond.

Venom glanced around, confused, seeing no one else. His face was full of bewilderment as he

had no idea what Syd was doing.

"Wait, was that meant for me?"

As Venom stood there in confusion, a sudden change occurred!

Originally, they were in a dark, secluded corner-a place Syd had deliberately chosen for

testing his ability, where sunlight couldn't reach...

But after the words were spoken, Syd noticed that the area around Venom brightened slightly.

It was as if sunlight and photons were gathering around Venom, just as the blessing had stated-light was always with him.

Venom stood there, completely dumbfounded.
