Starting as a Class Five Mutant-Chapter 614

Suddenly, a thought struck Syd, and his face turned grim.

"Could it be..."

Staring at the Phoenix Force that was continuously destroying the land before him, Syd fell into deep thought, recalling the descriptions of the Phoenix Force.

The Phoenix Force was the manifestation of the original universe's life energy and emotional energy, linking the life and spirit of all things.

It was both the storage and the ruler of life and spirit!

In simple terms, life and spirit were both part of it.

It was just like how light was a part of Syd—connected intrinsically to him.

Syd's brows furrowed tightly.

Given that kind of connection, he seriously suspected that this fragment of the Phoenix Force could potentially draw out the life energy and spiritual energy from his own body!

While he was frowning and pondering—

Suddenly, Phoenix Jean Grey opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion.

"Where is this?" she asked, looking around bewilderedly, before locking eyes on the white-robed figure standing before her.

Hearing her voice, Syd snapped back to reality and glanced at her, confirming a previous doubt.

The Jean Grey before him was her normal persona—not the darkened one.

"So the dark personality is still hiding?"

Thinking that, Syd didn't pay it much mind.

After all, it wasn't his problem—whether Jean's potential dark personality awakened or not could be left for Logan and the others to handle.

Right now, his main concern was how to deal with the connection between his divine body and the Phoenix Force.

The next second—

In Phoenix Jean's astonished gaze, the space around Syd rippled—and he vanished without a trace.

Leaving behind a completely confused Jean Grey.

After a long while, she finally collected herself and hurried away, intending to contact Professor X and the others.

Meanwhile, elsewhere—

Space rippled, and Syd reappeared in another city.

As he walked forward, his brow remained tightly furrowed, his mind weighed down with serious thought.

"If the Phoenix Force fragment can casually draw out life energy and spirit energy... then..."

Suddenly, he stopped walking, his expression growing even more serious.

Because of the Phoenix Force matter, he realized something even worse:

His divine body might not only be linked to the Phoenix Force, but also to beings like Eternity and Infinity!

After all, the true forms of Eternity and Infinity could be said to be the universe itself.

And everything existing in the universe was naturally connected to them—part of their being.

Thinking of this, Syd's brows knitted even tighter.

"Troublesome!"

"How do I sever this connection?"

After a long time of contemplation, he still couldn't come up with a good solution.

"I'll have to try things one by one..."

If he didn't resolve this hidden danger, it would definitely cost him dearly in the future!

At that moment, Syd thought of something else.

His focus shifted to the progress of God's Mimicry, and fragments of descriptions about "God" surfaced in his mind.

He had a strong premonition—this matter might ultimately depend on the progress of his mimicry of God.

Moreover, the true bodies of the Old Ones would soon descend—and that too would require God's power to deal with.

Thinking of this, Syd turned his attention to the energy points he was gathering and quietly began waiting.

[Light Energy +5157]

[Light Energy +5157]

...

Thanks to his extremely efficient absorption of light energy, the panel showed his energy points rapidly increasing—soon enough to push his unlocking progress from 11% to 15%.

Syd focused on the panel:

[Name: Syd]

[Age: 17 (Normal lifespan: ∞ days)]

[Mutant Abilities: Mimicry, Energy Absorption]

[Current Mimic Target: God (Titles: Creator, Maker of Worlds, Omniscient and Omnipotent One)]

(Unlock Progress: 11%)

[Abilities: Creation (Max/Max) Level 5 (Unlocked)]

[Energy Points: 5,420,000]

Glancing at the energy points, Syd didn't hesitate.

With a single thought, he poured all the points into unlocking progress.

[Energy Points: 0]

The unlock progress fluctuated slightly:

(Unlock Progress: 15%)

Syd's eyes were filled with expectation.

But even after a long wait, no new notification appeared.

"Looks like... 15% isn't enough..." Syd sighed quietly, muttering:

"Maybe it's 20%... or 25%?"

Fortunately, the rate at which he was gathering energy now was extremely fast—otherwise, he would be far more anxious.

Time passed slowly.

After several hours, the progress continued to rise.

(Unlock Progress: 20%)

(Unlock Progress: 25%)

Under Syd's intense anticipation—

The unlock progress shifted once again:

(Unlock Progress: 30%)

And then, a joyful notification rang out in his mind.

"What will it be?"

Full of expectation, Syd eagerly awaited the result.

Soon, a new ability appeared:

[Ability: Self-Existence (Unlocked)]

[Ability: Self-Existence (0/100) Level 1]

"This ability is...?"

Syd froze, his face filled with astonishment.

Immediately, a description flashed through his mind.

Legend had it that God was "Self-Existent."

Existing because He willed it so—relying on nothing external for His birth or survival.

He existed purely because He chose to exist.

There was no beginning and no end—He was the origin of all matter and life.

"This ability..."

Syd grew even more astonished.

However, a strange realization quickly followed:

Although he had obtained the ability "Self-Existence," he felt no noticeable changes in himself.

Even using the power of his abstract conceptual body, he could sense no difference.

It was as if... nothing had happened?

Syd's expression turned puzzled.

Moreover, he had another concern:

How exactly was he supposed to level up this "Self-Existence" ability?

He was momentarily baffled.

During all this mental scrambling, only a few seconds had passed in the real world.

Then, a notification suddenly sounded:

[Self-Existence Experience +1]

[Ability: Self-Existence (1/100) Level 1]

Hearing this, Syd's eyes widened.

"I didn't do anything, did I?"

"And yet... it improved?"

He hurriedly checked himself, confirming that he hadn't performed any action whatsoever.

To be sure, he even shielded himself from external influences like light and matter.

Yet the next second—

Another notification came, just as calmly:

[Self-Existence Experience +1]

"Is it... leveling up on its own?"

"And at such a fast speed?"

Syd was stunned.

Then, he couldn't help but grow excited and curious.

What would happen when Self-Existence evolved?

Would it change him?

Would it alter the outside world?

Would this ability eliminate the hidden risks from things like the Phoenix Force?

Under Syd's eager and curious gaze, the "Self-Existence" trait continued to upgrade automatically and rapidly—like a true god-tier perpetual motion machine.

It was absolutely absurd.
