"That appearance... Is it Arishem, the Celestial responsible for judgment?"

Syd knew a bit about the Celestials.

This being was one of the strongest among them, and it was said that every time he arrived on

a planet, he would judge whether the life on that planet should be eradicated.

For those deemed unworthy, they would face annihilation.

But now, what was this Celestial Arishem doing here?

As Syd furrowed his brows, deep in thought, he suddenly noticed a figure dressed in black in the Earth's atmosphere.

"Is that... me?"

Seeing the familiar figure, a strange expression appeared in Syd's eyes.

At that moment, Arishem descended, looking down at the person clad in black below.

Syd could vaguely sense Arishem's complete indifference toward him.

The next second, without saying a word, Arishem attacked.

A simple red energy beam shot from his fist.

To the Celestial, this beam was small, but to Syd, it was immense.

Boom!

The red energy beam, moving at unimaginable speed, reached the black-clad Syd in an instant.

Syd felt his body trying to use spatial displacement to escape, but he was held in place by an invisible force, unable to move.

Almost simultaneously, a brilliant light appeared his ability, Sunshine, was unleashed at full power, with no light energy spared.

In a flash, the radiance of Sunshine collided with Arishem's red energy beam.

The two forces clashed, and for a moment, they were evenly matched.

In fact, the light from Sunshine began to gradually suppress the red beam.

Before long, Arishem's red energy beam was entirely disintegrated.

Syd could sense a faint wave of surprise from Arishem.

The light of Sunshine shone upon Arishem.

Unfortunately, though the light reached him, it had no effect, blocked by an invisible barrier.

Even as the barrier gradually dissipated, the radiance of Sunshine couldn't be sustained any longer.

The light slowly faded as Syd exhausted all of his light energy.

But Arishem did not hold back.

In an instant, he released an even larger red energy beam.

Boom!

The red energy beam struck Syd, who had almost no strength left to resist.

Under the destructive energy, his divine body rapidly began to disintegrate.

Skin, muscle, bone...

Golden blood splattered...

In the end, Syd vanished within the red energy beam.

The beam, unstoppable, broke through Earth's atmosphere and crashed toward the planet's surface.

Boom!

The energy beam slammed into the ground.

In an instant, a large section of land disappeared, cracking apart as the entire North American continent shook.

At that moment, nearly everyone felt it.

Or rather, they saw it all unfold through satellite footage.

"The Messiah is dead?"

"How is that possible?!"

"What kind of monster is this?"

As the massive shadow projected onto Earth's atmosphere, countless humans stared in shock and terror.

The once-invincible Messiah, dead?!

Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

"Syd!"

Logan, and the others were heartbroken.

The Brotherhood of Mutants.

"How could this happen..."

Erik, wore a grim expression.

Boom!

The impact not only shook the North American continent but also triggered tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and other catastrophic disasters across the globe.

Outer Space.

Seeing his target eliminated, Arishem showed no interest in the various disasters unfolding

on Earth.

The space around him distorted, a black hole appeared, and he vanished into it.

Just as he had shown no care before, Arishem displayed no concern as he left.

Neither for the disasters befalling Earth nor for the destruction of a mere, slightly stronger

ant.

Not far away, watching the scene, Syd's emotions surged.

"So, that's how I die?"

As he stood frozen, his vision suddenly blurred, and his surroundings returned to normal.

The familiar sight of the secluded alley appeared before him once more.

However, he had no interest in his surroundings now-his thoughts were consumed by what

he had just witnessed.

His gaze fell on the black stone in his hand.

This thing really could show someone their death?

And he... was killed by the Celestial Arishem?

Syd's expression changed.

If he was truly destined to die, what was the point of all his efforts to grow stronger?

His mind raced as he pondered whether everything he had seen was real.

After a while, he leaned toward the belief that this wasn't just some baseless vision. He truly

might die at the hands of the Celestial Arishem.

Syd frowned deeply, contemplating a solution.

Since he had seen the vision of his death, perhaps it wasn't set in stone and could still be

changed...

"Wait a second..."

Suddenly, Syd realized something odd, his expression shifting slightly.

Frowning, he thought back-something seemed off about the vision he had just seen.

"Was that really a vision of the future?"

"If it was a future vision, why did my strength seem completely stagnant?"

Syd realized that in the death scene he had witnessed, he only displayed his current abilities.

For example, his Sunshine ability. If Sunshine had reached level five, the changes would have been obvious, and the range would have been much greater.

If Arishem had appeared right now and killed him, that would make sense. But in a future vision, it was strange that his power hadn't advanced at all.

He quickly dismissed the first possibility-he had a gut feeling that the scene he saw was indeed from the future, though it seemed to be some time away.

His focus shifted to the second possibility.

"Is my strength being held back?" Syd frowned.

"Wait, no... Could it be that the black stone didn't account for my increase of ability in the

future?"

"Without the mimicry ability, that would explain why my strength showed no signs of

advancement."

"Not even the levels of my abilities increased?"

Syd's instincts told him this was highly likely.

His mimicry ability had always seemed boundless, so it wasn't unreasonable that the black

stone couldn't account for it.

Realizing this, a spark of hope flickered in Syd's eyes.

If this were true, then by simply raising the level of one of his abilities, the future vision shown by the black stone could change.

At that moment, he was tempted to improve his abilities or perhaps unlock a new one.

Then, he could use the black stone again to see if the vision of his death had changed!

And see what expression Arishem, the Celestial, would have this time!
