Syd's attention had just shifted to his connection with Kaecilius when he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

How long had it been, and Kaecilius had already managed to acquire some?

On a wooden table, seven black energy guns powered by the Tesseract were displayed.

In the center of each gun, a faint blue light flickered, storing the energy of the Tesseract.

At this moment, Kaecilius, seated in front of the table, was pulling something out from a small portal he had just opened in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, it was another energy gun powered by the Tesseract.

"Did they replace the warehouse for these super weapons?"

Syd's mouth twitched.

Did they have a mole inside S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Otherwise, how could they have found the storage for such dangerous weapons so quickly?

Looking at the energy guns on the wooden table, Syd felt tempted.

With these energy guns, his locked abilities could surely recover quite a bit!

Moreover, before S.H.I.E.L.D. discovered them, Kaecilius might be able to obtain even more of these weapons.

After all, compared to the Tesseract, these mass-produced weapons weren't that heavily guarded.

While Kaecilius was busy snatching energy guns from the S.H.I.E.L.D. warehouse, the Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One, had also figured out many things.

Among them was the emergence of mutants.

Looking at the woman unleashing terrifying energy on the screen and the black-clad youth in the sky who easily destroyed a city, the Ancient One's expression became slightly grave, her attention heightened.

She also noticed a sense of familiarity and soon recognized the black-clad youth in the sky as the mysterious figure she had encountered not long ago.

However, she quickly dismissed it.

Compared to the dimensional demons, she was less inclined to involve herself in Earth's internal matters.

During this period, she also learned about Kaecilius's actions.

"Is this the demon?"

The Ancient One was perusing an ancient tome that described this demon, her expression growing more serious.

At the same time, she was puzzled about the demon's intentions.

What exactly was it planning?

Why create such grand events?

What benefit did it get from this?

Unable to understand, the Ancient One decided to communicate directly.

Skillfully arranging a magical ritual, she soon contacted this mysterious entity.

She inquired, "Unknown demon, what is your purpose? Why are you creating such major events?"

While observing Kaecilius, Syd was startled upon hearing the Ancient One's voice. Through the magical ritual, he naturally saw the Sorcerer Supreme in her yellow robes. Facing her question, Syd's eyes flickered as he quickly considered how to respond. Soon, a profound, chant-like voice reached the Ancient One's ears.

"Consider it mere boredom, with no particular purpose. But you, a Sorcerer Supreme who relies on the dark dimension to sustain your life, seem to enjoy meddling in my affairs..."

The Ancient One's initially grave expression instantly changed.

This unknown demon had sensed it?

Syd, of course, was aware of this matter.

In the movie, Kaecilius had his worldview shattered when he learned the Ancient One was drawing energy from the dark dimension to extend her life, ultimately leading him to ally with Dormammu.

However, things were not as Kaecilius thought. The Sorcerer Supreme drawing power from the dark dimension was not merely for extending her life.

To protect Earth long-term from extra-dimensional entities like Dormammu, she had to draw on the dark dimension's power to extend her life and await a successor.

Drawing power from the dark dimension was not without its hardships.

One had to endure the dark power's physical corruption and resist its temptations, constantly struggling between light and darkness.

This mental fatigue and struggle were not something an ordinary person could endure.

Kaecilius, lacking such strong will, quickly fell into darkness, becoming a fervent follower of Dormammu.

The next successor, Doctor Strange, once asked the Ancient One why she drew on dark power, to which she replied that one must not only care about themselves.

After Doctor Strange appeared, she ceased drawing on the dark dimension's power, fearing she might one day be consumed by it and bring unnecessary disaster to the world.

Ultimately, she chose to end her suffering by falling from a high building.

The profound, chant-like voice continued to echo in the Ancient One's ears.

"All things are impermanent, all phenomena are not self, all sensations are suffering."

"Nothing in this world is eternal, nor is anything fixed. Everything must endure the baptism of suffering."

"Sorcerer Supreme, your suffering has been enough. Choose to ally with me, and I will grant you power and life, freeing you from the dark power's corruption and pain..."

Hearing the profound voice continually sounding in her ears, the Ancient One did not feel relieved but instead grew more solemn.

In just a few words, she felt the demon's terrifying nature more intensely.

Dormammu could never speak such words.

The next moment, Syd felt the connection severed as the Ancient One ended the ritual.

Syd felt a bit regretful but not surprised.

Honestly, what he had said was half-true, but the offer of power and life was genuine.

Compared to drawing from the dark dimension, his light energy and chaos magic were more

suitable for any sorcerer.

Especially light energy, which was not only positive but also seemed to sustain life.

After all, despite suffering from multiple cancers, he had managed to extend his life through light energy, indicating its complexity beyond mere appearance.

Syd pondered.

However, setting a long-term plan and whether it yielded results didn't matter to him.

Success was good, but failure was also acceptable.

As he basked in the sun, gathering light energy, time quickly passed, and it was soon the third

morning.

The bright morning sunlight shone, and the fresh scent of dew was strong.

Inside the dilapidated wooden house.

In the dim light, about twenty black energy guns could be seen on the table.

These were the results of Kaecilius and his team's efforts during this period. If S.H.I.E.L.D. had

not discovered it early, the entire warehouse might have been emptied.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. still had plenty of these weapons, obtaining more would now be more

difficult.

S.H.I.E.L.D. had already deployed heavy guards, and Kaecilius would have to plan carefully to

continue acquiring them.

During these two days, Kaecilius had also been planning.

Syd placed his hand on one of the energy guns.

Quickly, the spatial energy in the gun became agitated, instantly drawn by his Orochi powers.

Blue energy glowed, seeping up Syd's palm and rapidly entering his body.

As he absorbed the gun's energy, a previously near-recovered ability quickly unlocked.

[Ability: Divine Finger (Unlocked)]

The notification sounded.

Syd glanced at the remaining twenty energy guns.

Time passed as one by one, the energy guns were absorbed...

[Ability: Spirit Light Column (Unlocked)]

[Ability: Soul Extraction (Unlocked)]

Notifications kept sounding.

In the end, only Sunshine and Floating Flight remained unrecovered.

"Why couldn't these guns have more energy?"

Looking at the over twenty Tesseract energy guns he had already drained, Syd felt a bit

disappointed.

The two most crucial abilities had not recovered...

Then, his attention shifted to the Scarlet Witch panel.

[Energy Points: 39573]

(Unlock Progress: 31%)

"Almost forty thousand energy points. I wonder how much the Scarlet Witch mimicry

progress will increase?"

Syd's eyes showed anticipation.

Could chaos magic be unlocked? What changes would happen to his body?

The next moment, he added all the energy points to the unlock progress.

The 31% unlock progress blurred for a moment and then changed.

(Unlock Progress: 70%)

Simultaneously, a notification sounded in Syd's surprised gaze. [Ability: Chaos Magic (Unlocked)]

[Ability: Chaos Magic (0/100) Level One]

In an instant, he felt a difference in his body.

A familiar warm current appeared, quickly flowing through his entire body, with his cells and

genes changing.

In a short time, his genetic cells became more mysterious, housing more enigmatic power.

"Whoa, what's happening?"

Venom exclaimed, crawling out from Syd's right hand, looking shocked.

Just now, Syd's body had changed again. Whether it was his illusion or not, Venom felt Syd's

body had become even more mysterious.

Just staying in his body for a moment, Venom felt his strength increase significantly.

As Syd's body grew more mysterious, Venom, residing in his body, also became much

stronger. Most notably, Venom's suit could now perfectly withstand bullets from handguns and rifles. Perhaps now, only special armor-piercing rounds could break his defense!

Venom was confident; he was now much stronger than that foolish half-brother. This period

of accumulation was enough to overwhelm him!

"If we meet again, hehe, I'll give you a surprise," Venom muttered, both shocked and

delighted.

Syd ignored him, focusing on his body's changes.

At this moment, his nerves were extremely active, with heightened thoughts and reactions to

stimuli.

"Is this mental power?"

Syd felt a force in his mind.

Though weak, it was still significant compared to having none.

Before, even if other mental ability users attacked him, he might not notice. Now...

With this mental power, he could fully detect and defend against attacks from other mental

ability users!

Moreover, as his chaos magic level increased, his mental power might also grow! Momentarily disregarding these

changes, Syd focused on a mysterious power within him.

Raising his right hand, he attempted to channel that mysterious power.

"Is this chaos magic?" Syd murmured.

A red glow appeared on his right hand.
