Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 296: Chapter 296



"How does the White Knight know about the Ant-Man suit?!"

Scott was completely puzzled, his expression shifting constantly.

"Dr. Hank Pym has no connection with the White Knight either, right?"

Scott couldn't hide his confusion.

"Not willing?" Syd raised an eyebrow, his right hand lifting deliberately.

Dr. Hank Pym, who had been monitoring the situation closely, hesitated for a moment before making a decision in his heart.

Compared to Scott's life, the Ant-Man suit wasn't a big deal to give away.

After all, the suit required Pym Particles to function. Once the particles in the suit were depleted, it would become useless...

To Hank, this wasn't much of a loss, especially if it meant saving Scott's life.

The next moment, Scott heard Hank's voice through the communicator in his ear.

"Agree to his terms."

Hearing this, Scott nodded and replied, "Fine, but we'll need some time to manufacture the suit."

"Since that's settled, you can go now."

With that, Syd turned and began to leave.

"Huh?" Scott was stunned as he watched Syd's retreating figure.

"He's just letting me go like that?"

"Aren't you worried we might go back on our word?"

Unable to hold back his curiosity, Scott voiced his doubt.

Pausing mid-step, Syd glanced back at him and said, "No one can owe me anything and get away with it. You're welcome to try, though."

"Remember, you have seven days. In seven days, I expect to see the Ant-Man suit at this location."

With that, Syd walked away without looking back.

Watching the White Knight's figure disappear into the distance, Scott muttered under his breath, "Honestly, no one would dare cross you..."

He sighed deeply.

"This mission was a total loss-not only did we fail to steal an Infinity Stone, but now we've lost an Ant-Man suit too."

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have come..." Scott grumbled to himself.

While Scott lamented his misfortune, Syd, who had unexpectedly gained an Ant-Man suit, was in high spirits.

"In seven days, I might finally get a glimpse of the Quantum Realm," he mused, stroking his chin.

As he thought about the encounter with Ant-Man, an idea struck him.

Half an hour later...

Syd was clad in an all-black outfit-the attire of Messiah.

"It's been a while since I used the Messiah persona..." Syd remarked nostalgically.

Perhaps it was because the White Knight identity, with its combination of the Scarlet Witch's powers and the abilities of Baldur, the God of Light, was much more practical.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Maybe once Baldur's progress reaches 100%, I can incorporate the next mimicry ability into Messiah."

As for who the next mimicry target would be...

Syd's eyes gleamed with curiosity.

However, this time, he decided not to actively dig into the answer.

"Sometimes opening a mystery box can be more fun-there might be surprises," he thought, stroking his chin.

While pondering this, white light began emanating from his body as he continuously used the nerfed version of Sunshine to quickly level it up.

[Sunshine Experience +1]

[Divine Core Experience +1]

Time flew by, and soon it was the morning of the third day.

[Ability: Divine Core (355/500) Level 2]

[Ability: Sunshine (498/2000) Level 4]

While Syd focused on enhancing his Divine Core and Sunshine, far away in Sokovia, Ultron made a surprising discovery that left him elated.

A surveillance camera in a certain city had captured footage of Messiah!

"Another Omega mutant... Messiah," Ultron's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Ever since he was overpowered by the White Knight's abilities, Ultron had been tirelessly building Sentinel robots to prepare for a future confrontation. Simultaneously, he had been gathering information on Messiah.

After all, aside from the White Knight, Messiah was the only other Omega mutant he knew of. Compared to the White Knight's bizarre and overwhelming powers, which filled Ultron with a sense of dread, Messiah seemed far more manageable.

By comparison, Messiah's Omega-level abilities appeared almost overrated.

For example, Messiah's light-based disintegration ability had a range limit of just two kilometers, based on Ultron's research.

"If his range were any greater, he wouldn't have needed to approach the military base during his last attack to use his disintegration power!"

Of course, Messiah wasn't entirely weak-records suggested that he had once destroyed an

entire city.

"But that was clearly during a loss of control..." Ultron shook his head.

He knew all too well that some mutants became significantly stronger when they lost control. Messiah's destruction of a city didn't impress him much.

In normal circumstances, Messiah didn't have the power to destroy cities. His ability range of two kilometers seemed to be his limit.

"The White Knight, on the other hand, has city-destroying power even at normal levels. His reality-warping abilities are terrifying..."

"Compared to the White Knight, Messiah is underwhelming-hardly worthy of the Omega designation."

This didn't surprise Ultron.

Even among Omega mutants, there could be vast differences in power levels.

The only conclusion was that the White Knight was absurdly strong.

However, Ultron wasn't dwelling on that now-he was delighted by Messiah's apparent

weakness.

"If I can't handle the White Knight, I can certainly deal with Messiah!"

Ultron smirked coldly.

He now had over 500 Sentinel robots, combining new creations with older ones. That many should be more than enough to take down Messiah.

Of course, to ensure success, Ultron decided to wait a bit longer until he had built even more

Sentinels.

"Once I capture Messiah and unlock his Omega mutant genes, I'll gain Omega-level abilities

myself."

"Then we'll see how the White Knight handles me!" Ultron sneered.

First, the weaker target, then the stronger one. The White Knight wouldn't escape.

In Ultron's mind, both Messiah and the White Knight were already his.

With the powers of two Omega mutants, he would ascend to godhood.
