Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 253: Chapter 253



All destroyed?

Because of one person?

"Who exactly are you!"

At this moment, Ronan's eyes were filled with both rage and fear. His face twisted in disbelief, unwilling to accept the scene before him.

Syd glanced at him briefly, uninterested in dragging things out further. He stretched out his hand and grasped the Power Stone.

Instantly, a wave of destructive energy surged into his body, the purple glow enveloping him completely.

However, in no time, this energy, transmitted from the Power Stone, was suppressed by his divine body and the energy within him.

In the blink of an eye, his body returned to normal.

Ronan stood there, utterly stunned as he witnessed this.

This force, which could easily obliterate life, was terrifying beyond belief—yet this man was able to endure it so easily?

What kind of body does he have?

"You're no mere mortal. Who are you!" Ronan shouted in disbelief.

He knew that even if he could withstand this power, it would never be this effortless.

In fact, he'd need to embed the stone into a weapon just to wield its power safely.

But this man...

Ronan knew what this meant.

This man's body was monstrously strong!

It was possible that he could even control all four of the Infinity Stones surrounding him.

At that moment, Ronan's confidence in his own strength shattered.

How could there be such a vast difference between people?

Ronan's face twisted further in frustration, jealousy, and bitterness.

But the next moment, he had no time to think any further.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hovering in the air, Syd glanced down at Ronan, feeling the immense power coursing through him. His right hand clenched the Power Stone, and he unleashed its energy.

Boom!

Under everyone's gaze, a massive purple energy wave shot toward Ronan.

Ronan tried to dodge, but after only a few steps, the wave engulfed him. "No!" Ronan screamed.

The purple energy enveloped him entirely, and despite his strong body, he could not withstand it for long. The moment he made contact with the destructive force, his body began to disintegrate.

Perhaps...

I shouldn't have come here...

In his final moments, Ronan's thoughts were filled with despair and regret.

The next second, his entire being turned to ash and vanished.

Watching this terrifying scene unfold, Star-Lord and the others were left speechless, frozen in fear.

"So this is the power of an Infinity Stone?"

"It's truly terrifying..."

But more than the stone itself, what scared them most was the one wielding it.

The abilities Syd had displayed seemed even more incomprehensible than the stone's power itself.

Even without using the stone, he could have easily destroyed Ronan's forces and Ronan himself.

Wasn't that frightening enough?

Having dealt with Ronan, Syd contemplated his next steps.

With Ronan dead and the Power Stone back in his possession, it was time for him to leave.

As for Star-Lord and the others, without Ronan, their story would return to its original course -they would form the Guardians of the Galaxy and continue their morally ambiguous adventures.

This journey had been worthwhile, but it was time to move on.

Additionally, the black stone artifact he had acquired needed further study, which he preferred to do alone.

Syd replaced the Power Stone in his hand with the blue Tesseract.

The Tesseract emitted a radiant blue glow.

Looking over at Star-Lord and the others, Syd spoke softly, "I hope we meet again someday."

As his mysterious voice echoed, his entire body was enveloped in blue light, and then he disappeared from sight.

Star-Lord and the others stood dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

"That was the power of the Space Stone," the Collector, Tivan, said with a hint of regret. "He's left the planet. You won't be able to find him."

Glancing at the ruins of his once-grand collection room, Tivan felt a deep pang of sorrow.

"My collection!"

This time, he had lost so much.

Hearing the Collector's words, Star-Lord and the others finally understood what had

happened, their emotions mixed.

"It feels strange... having someone like him around, and then suddenly he's gone," Star-Lord

remarked.

"It's better that he's gone," Gamora reassured. "That man was dangerous."

Not only was he dangerous, but the objects he carried with him were equally hazardous.

She couldn't even imagine what kind of chaos would follow if he stayed with them.

At this moment, they heard the Collector mutter, "Who exactly was that mysterious man..."

Like Ronan had screamed before his death, this man was definitely no ordinary mortal!

"White Knight?"

"Is there such a person?"

The Collector was reminded of how Syd had introduced himself when they first met.

He had said that some people liked to call him the "White Knight," and they could address

him that way.

As the Collector murmured, Star-Lord suddenly had a flash of insight.

"White Knight?" Star-Lord muttered under his breath.

"What's up, Quill?" Rocket and the others looked at him curiously, wondering why he wore

such a thoughtful expression.

Suddenly, they heard Star-Lord exclaim, "Could he be that White Knight?"

The Collector and the others were puzzled.

Before they could ask, Star-Lord explained.

"There was a rumor circulating a while ago about my home planet, Terra. It said two powerful

figures appeared-one called Messiah, and the other called White Knight."

Rocket and the others were shocked.

"Your home planet?

"How strong are these people?"

Then they heard Star-Lord's awe-filled explanation.

"The rumor said that one of them could destroy an entire city in an instant, while the other

could wipe out countless lives with ease..."

"What? Destroy a city in an instant?"

"Wipe out countless lives with ease?"

Rocket couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Seeing their expressions, Star-Lord chuckled bitterly. "At the time, I thought the same as you

-that it couldn't possibly be true."

"After all, my home planet, Terra, is weak. There's no way such powerful beings could exist

there, so I dismissed it as a ridiculous rumor."

"All my memories from childhood, and everything I've read about Earth, led me to believe it

was just a wild tale..."

"I even thought the person who started the rumor was crazy and needed to see a

psychiatrist!"

"But now..."

Star-Lord paused, not finishing his thought.

Even though he didn't say it outright, Rocket and the others understood what he meant.
