Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 295: Chapter 295



In an instant, a dark space of over a hundred cubic meters appeared in Syd's perception.

He was slightly taken aback.

"This space... it's larger than I expected." (That's what she said!)

Syd was quite satisfied with the internal dimensions of the ring.

In the next moment, he retrieved the backpack containing the Infinity Stones.

With a flick of his hand, the backpack disappeared from his grasp, reappearing within the dark space inside the ring.

After securing the ring, his attention returned to the Darkhold fragment.

"Why don't I feel any corruption?" Syd wondered aloud.

Whether during the creation of the ring or now, he felt no signs of the so-called corruption.

He instinctively probed his body, and his expression subtly changed as he realized something. Through his senses, he noticed that the Darkhold fragment in his hand was emitting faint yet insidious energy, silently attempting to corrupt his body.

However, thanks to his divine physique and abilities, the Darkhold's influence was negligible and had no immediate effect on him-so minimal, in fact, that he hadn't noticed it earlier.

"So, just holding the Darkhold fragment triggers its corruption..."

Syd glanced at the parchment in his hand with a wary expression.

After some thought, he decided not to destroy it.

After all, the fragment posed no short-term threat to him, and it was an exceptionally powerful artifact for spellcasting, particularly with black magic. Destroying it outright felt like a waste.

The next moment, the parchment vanished from his hand, stored within the ring's spatial dimension.

With everything settled, Syd left the secluded location.

As he walked, his mind wandered.

"I recall that the Darkhold appeared in an ancient house and had some connection with S.H.I.E.L.D. It even showed up in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D...."

After a moment's thought, he shook his head and dismissed the idea.

The Darkhold wasn't particularly important to him. If he happened to come across it, he wouldn't mind taking it, but he had no intention of actively seeking it out.

Elsewhere, Dr. Hank Pym, a middle-aged man with a solemn expression, was speaking to Scott Lang, also known as Ant-Man.

"Scott, this mission is extremely dangerous. You can still back out if you want."

Sharing the same first name as Cyclops, Scott Lang replied, "Got it."

The next moment, Scott activated his Ant-Man suit. His body shrank rapidly, reducing to the size of an ant.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

A flying ant swooped down, catching him mid-air.

As the pair of man and ant disappeared, Dr. Pym's eyes reflected deep concern.

...

Twenty minutes later.

As Syd strolled down a quiet alley, absorbing faith energy to refine his divinity, his steps suddenly faltered.

He felt as if something was watching him.

Scanning his surroundings, he saw no one.

Then, he noticed something odd. His gaze dropped to his clothes, and his pupils contracted as his vision magnified.

There, crawling on his clothes, was a tiny figure in a red-and-black suit. The small figure seemed to be searching for something.

The moment Syd saw him, he understood.

"Ant-Man?"

A character who appeared in Avengers: Endgame, pivotal to the Avengers' ability to travel through time.

It was thanks to Ant-Man that Tony Stark and the others learned about Pym Particles, enabling them to shrink to the quantum level and enter the Quantum Realm.

Through the Quantum Realm, they traveled to the past, retrieved the Infinity Stones, and changed the course of the future.

Syd hadn't expected to encounter Ant-Man, let alone find him crawling on his body.

What was this guy up to?

Frowning, Syd recalled, "Wasn't he a thief before?"

In an instant, Syd pieced together the likely motive.

The Infinity Stones?

Sensing the focused gaze, Scott Lang, the Ant-Man, looked up in defeat.

"Seriously? You noticed me already?" he muttered.

"I'm screwed..."

Hearing the faint voice, Syd's hand glowed red, instantly capturing Scott as he tried to leap away.

Now, Scott Lang was suspended between Syd's thumb and forefinger, encased in a small sphere of red energy.

"Hey, hey, let me go!" Scott pleaded, forgetting that his tiny voice was inaudible to most

people.

Fortunately for him, Syd wasn't most people. He could clearly hear the plea.

Holding the glowing sphere with a bemused expression, Syd teased, "You've got guts, trying

to steal from me."

Raising his free hand, Syd's fingers curled into a flicking motion.

"Wait, wait, what are you doing?"

In Scott's terrified gaze, a massive finger loomed closer.

The next instant-

Bang!

Scott's tiny form was launched into the air, spinning wildly before slamming into a wall.

With a thud, a small dent appeared in the wall.

Scott's body then began to grow, returning to its normal size.

The moment he was back to normal, Scott hastily raised his hands. "Wait, wait, White Knight!

Don't attack!"

Syd paused, watching him with interest, curious to hear what he had to say.

"We can talk this out," Scott said nervously.

"There's nothing to discuss," Syd said flatly. "You came to steal my Infinity Stones, didn't

you?"

"Uh..." Scott was visibly stunned, shocked that his intent had been so easily discerned.

As Scott braced himself for the worst, Syd's gaze lingered on him, a plan forming in his mind.

He felt little inclination to kill Scott-not only because the Infinity Stones were still secure, but also because the Quantum Realm intrigued him.

The Quantum Realm, with its time-travel capabilities, would naturally pique anyone's

curiosity.

Syd even speculated that the Quantum Realm might serve as a hub for the multiverse, a

gateway to countless parallel universes.

How could he not be curious?

"Give me an Ant-Man suit, and I'll let you go," Syd said casually.

Scott blinked, stunned.

"You... you know about the Ant-Man suit?"
