[December Bonus Pick Winner: [Starting as a Class 5 Mutant]!]
On Earth.
Under the eyes of countless onlookers, Syd had already grasped the purple Power Stone.
Purple energy spread around him, enveloping his entire body.
Unlike when he had only a fourth-level divine physique, now he could feel that even holding the Power Stone continuously posed no threat to him.
What would be fatal for an ordinary person felt as gentle as a breeze to him.
It was as if the Power Stone was something that only unique beings like him were qualified to wield—mortals had no place using it.
He didn't know what threshold would cause harm while using the Power Stone, as he hadn't tested it, but now seemed like a good time to find out.
Truth be told, he hadn't yet fully explored the Power Stone's potential.
As he held the Power Stone, a series of strange phenomena appeared around him. The stone radiated an intense purple glow, while purple energy enveloped him, and an aura of violet mist spread outward, powerful enough to inspire awe in all who saw it.
The overwhelming energy waves emanating from him were intimidating just to behold.
Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s energy detectors blared in alarm.
Nick Fury, both startled and wary, understood the reason for the recent warning signals from the detectors.
Could it be that the White-Clad Hero was using the Power Stone?
"What kind of power does this stone hold?"
In his uncertainty, he watched as the strange phenomena around the White-Clad Hero quickly dissipated, as if nothing had happened.
At the scene...
Syd hovered calmly in the air, awaiting the arrival of the next wave of Sentinel robots.
As expected, within moments, another ten Sentinels appeared through teleportation, under the watchful gaze of billions worldwide.
Before they could act, Syd unleashed a surge of energy from the Power Stone.
The purple brilliance of the Power Stone shone like a dazzling star in the sky.
In an instant, a terrifying wave of purple energy burst forth from Syd's hand.
The Sentinels, just beginning to move, were engulfed by the purple energy. Then…
Under the astonished gazes of billions, purple cracks appeared on the Sentinels' bodies before they rapidly disintegrated into ash, leaving no trace.
"What kind of power is this? It's terrifying!"
"Oh my God…"
Watching the glowing purple stone in the White-Clad Hero's hand, even the most skeptical could see its power.
This purple stone held an unimaginable force.
In Stark Tower, Thor murmured in surprise, "Didn't Father say that using the Power Stone requires a cost?"
"How is my brother completely unaffected?"
His words left Tony Stark and the others momentarily stunned.
Could that be true?
They closely examined the screen showing the White-Clad Hero, but no matter how hard they looked, they saw no signs of strain.
They brushed it off, assuming that perhaps even the God King Odin could be mistaken.
As the wave of Sentinels was obliterated, another batch appeared with no respite for Syd.
Without hesitation, he unleashed another energy wave from the Power Stone.
Like a powerful attack clearing away lesser foes, the new ten Sentinels vanished in a blink.
Even though they had switched to a metallic state upon appearing, it only delayed the inevitable, as Syd increased the energy output from the Power Stone.
The cycle continued.
Sentinels appeared…
Only to be destroyed…
Five waves…
Six waves…
Under the eyes of billions and various factions, the White-Clad Hero floated dozens of meters in the air, with three radiant stones orbiting around him and the purple Power Stone in his hand.
Like a god, he remained still, eliminating one wave of Sentinels after another.
Everyone's faces were filled with shock.
At a mysterious military base...
Officers and generals wore grim expressions.
Aleksandro, the head of the research facility, and Dr. Bolivar, the creator of the Sentinels, were equally troubled.
The Sentinels, in which they had placed such high hopes, were being cleared away like garbage by the White-Clad Hero?
How many waves had it been already?
The only comfort they had was the remaining 1,400 Sentinels, which gave them a glimmer of hope.
They refused to believe the White-Clad Hero could hold out much longer.
After all, 1,400 Sentinels was no small number!
Moreover, they had taken notice of the purple stone in the White-Clad Hero's hand.
"So this is what they call an Infinity Stone?"
"With this purple stone in his grasp, he possesses such tremendous power?" Aleksandro remarked excitedly. "What if we obtained it?"
Not only him; Dr. Bolivar and the other officers and generals shared similar thoughts.
Looking at the purple stone, they couldn't suppress the greed and desire in their eyes. They longed to snatch it from the White-Clad Hero and claim its unparalleled power for themselves.
General Howell declared, "This stone must be seized!"
While the military made plans to capture the stone, they also adapted the Sentinels' tactics in response to the White-Clad Hero's relentless assault on the robots.
Back at the scene...
Boom!
After clearing yet another wave of Sentinels, Syd waited for the next wave.
But just as this batch turned to dust, ten more Sentinels appeared around him without a pause.
Faced with the close-range Sentinels, Syd instinctively threw a punch.
The Power Stone glowed with purple energy, combined with the superhuman strength of his fifth-level divine body.
Boom!
In an instant, the chest of the Sentinel before him caved in, twisted, and was sent flying at supersonic speed to a distant location, completely destroyed.
Billions of viewers, witnessing the White-Clad Hero's terrifying strength, were speechless.
Was this even human?
The remaining nine Sentinels dissolved into ash under the Power Stone's energy wave.
"Damn it!"
The military tried a few more rapid attacks, but no matter how sudden they were, the White-Clad Hero could react and eliminate the Sentinels effortlessly.
"Increase the number of Sentinels!" General Howell commanded.

Following General Howell's orders, the number of deployed Sentinel robots surged.
Under the gaze of billions and various factions, forty Sentinels suddenly appeared in front of the White-Clad Hero.
Facing such a large number, Syd finally sensed a hint of difficulty, realizing that the Power Stone's energy wave was somewhat slow at clearing them.
Boom!
As the purple energy wave from the Power Stone eliminated around ten Sentinels, the remaining robots seized the opportunity to launch attacks.
Syd frowned, his body shifting slightly to dodge quickly.
One of the Sentinels activated a crystalline ability to try to trap him, but it was blocked by his Chaos Magic.
Looking at the dozens of Sentinels before him, Syd found it a bit troublesome.
However, after a brief consideration, he decided not to use any other powers.
He maintained his Chaos Magic defense while relying solely on the Power Stone for offense. Compared to using his other abilities, this approach was the least exhausting.
After a slight hesitation, he glanced at the Power Stone in his hand and decided to amplify its output.
An even larger wave of purple energy erupted.
Boom!
The area ahead was engulfed by the purple energy wave.
Over twenty Sentinels in front of him were struck, their bodies partially disintegrating into ash, each one plummeting from the sky.
With a wave of his right hand, a sweep of purple light crossed the sky.
In a flash, all but seven or eight Sentinels—those quick enough to teleport away—were eroded by the Power Stone's energy and destroyed.
"The power of this purple stone is terrifying!"
Everyone watching could not help but marvel at the Power Stone's immense strength.
"Damn it!"
The military officers watching wore grim expressions.
Deploying forty Sentinels at once only managed to cause a slight inconvenience for the White-Clad Hero?
Was the so-called Infinity Stone really this powerful?
As for deploying even more Sentinels at once, they dismissed that option almost immediately.
What if too many Sentinels were deployed at once and wiped out in a single blow?
With no better option, they continued with the exhaustion strategy.
Back at the scene...
Relying on the power of the Power Stone, Syd effortlessly handled the Sentinels, barely depleting any of his inner light energy.
He even stopped moving, standing in place, using Chaos Magic to block attacks while sweeping away any approaching Sentinels with the Power Stone's energy wave.
Despite the ease, he found the pace a bit slow.
Glancing at the other three Infinity Stones orbiting around him, Syd sighed slightly, "If only I had the Infinity Gauntlet..."
If he had the Infinity Gauntlet, he wouldn't have to use the Power Stone so crudely, enduring its constant backlash on his body. Channeling the Power Stone's energy through the Reality Stone would be the optimal approach.
After a few more waves, eliminating three groups of forty Sentinels each, Syd noticed that the Sentinels had stopped appearing.
At that moment, silence fell over billions of viewers and countless factions.
How could thousands of Sentinels prove ineffective against the White-Clad Hero?
This outcome was completely unexpected.
Previously, they had thought that even an Omega-level mutant would be overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of Sentinels. But now?
Hovering high above, clad in white, surrounded by the three glowing Infinity Stones, exuding a mysterious aura, the White-Clad Hero stood unaffected.
At this moment, countless people felt a sense of suffocation.
At the X-Mansion...
Professor X, who had previously sighed over the White-Clad Hero's impending doom, looked on in shock.
No matter how he thought about it, he hadn't anticipated this outcome.
Those were thousands of Sentinels! Had the military actually been frightened into stopping the deployment?
"What would Syd do in this situation?" Logan, murmured to himself, shaking his head afterward.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't imagine how Syd, as the Messiah, would handle such a massive wave of Sentinels.
Though Syd was incredibly powerful, facing the military's attrition tactics would be difficult.
If the Sentinels appeared in bulk, he might have a chance, but appearing one wave at a time...
Logan shook his head.
The White-Clad Hero had the purple stone, the Infinity Stone as it was called. Syd, as the Messiah, didn't have anything like that. How would he fight back?
In this situation, Syd would undoubtedly be worn down by the military's underhanded tactics.
Logan could only silently pray that Syd, as the Messiah, wouldn't get involved.
However, he had to admit—the White-Clad Hero wielding an Infinity Stone was truly terrifying.
"I wonder who would be stronger, Syd or him?"
The thought emerged in Logan's mind as he compared the two, noting that the White-Clad Hero and Syd seemed to share a similar aura.
After a while, he shook his head, dismissing the thought as nonsense.
Nearby, Storm and others were in awe.
At the Brotherhood of Mutants...
Erik, wore a look of astonishment.
In a small room...
Wanda with her red hair, and Quicksilver with his silver hair, stared at the television with admiration.
Watching the White-Clad Hero effortlessly destroy one Sentinel after another, they were in awe.
"If only we could have that kind of power…"
"The White-Clad Hero is truly strong…"
The siblings, who had longed for revenge against Tony Stark, were filled with admiration and envy.
With such power, wouldn't Iron Man, Tony Stark, be easily at their mercy?
In New York, at Stark Tower...
"Heh, my brother really is powerful!" Thor chuckled.
Tony Stark rolled his eyes at him, smirking, "Funny, wasn't it you just now who thought we humans were plotting against your brother?"
Natasha, and the others nodded in agreement.
Thor chuckled awkwardly at the remark.
At that moment...
Dr. Banner commented, "But I think it's really the Power Stone that's strong. Without it, the White-Clad Hero might not be able to handle the Sentinels so easily and might even…"
He trailed off, marveling, "Doesn't that mean that anyone who gets this stone could become as strong as the White-Clad Hero?"
"That's terrifying!"
Hearing this, Tony Stark, Thor, and the others felt a chill, realizing the weight of his statement.
Exactly—didn't that mean that anyone who acquired the Power Stone could become as powerful as the White-Clad Hero?
"A stone with such frightening power?" Tony murmured in disbelief.
At that moment, even they couldn't help but feel a strong desire for the Power Stone.
It was truly worthy of its name as the Power Stone!
