Looking at Balder's 99% unlock progress, Syd's eyes were filled with anticipation.
[Photon Energy +103]...
In just this short while, the energy points had skyrocketed to a considerable amount, likely enough to push the final 1% of progress.
"After all this time, Balder's panel is finally about to improve!" Syd muttered to himself.
Without hesitation, he poured all his energy points into Balder's unlock progress.
Energy points depleted!
[Energy Points: 0]
(Unlock Progress: 100%)
The moment the unlock progress hit 100%, Syd immediately felt a change.
"This feeling…"
Syd was slightly stunned.
Compared to before, he had grown incredibly powerful, able to perceive far more than before.
Syd could only feel that, under his influence, the history of this universe seemed to be undergoing some kind of change.
"What is this?"
He couldn't help but frown.
Instinctively, he rejected this change, not wanting it to occur within the main universe of 616.
After all, the current situation was already good enough; there was no need for unnecessary changes.
Following his will, the changes to the 616 main universe disappeared.
However, the changes resulting from Balder's 100% unlock progress didn't just stop there.
With his powerful perception, Syd faintly sensed that such changes were occurring in other universes.
He could feel that some information related to him was beginning to appear in other universes.
As for what exactly that information was, it was too far away, beyond the range of his abstract perception, so he couldn't be entirely sure.
Thinking about this, a hint of curiosity appeared in Syd's eyes.
"What kind of information will appear in other universes?"
"Once I finish dealing with the new mimicry target, I'll go take a look at those other universes!"
Syd thought to himself with great interest.
Thinking of this, his attention was naturally drawn elsewhere.
With Balder's unlock progress reaching 100%, he immediately sensed the existence of another panel.
A panel belonging to a new mimicry target!
In an instant, curiosity and anticipation surged in Syd's heart.
"Who could it be?"
This feeling of opening a mystery box and drawing a prize was pretty good to him.
But…
"I hope it's someone strong."
Syd prayed silently, "I'm not asking for someone like Balder, but at least someone on par with Orochi."
"That way, as the unlock progress improves, it'll be of some use."
With this thought in mind, and feeling like he was opening a mystery box, he looked expectantly at the newly appeared mimicry panel.
Then, in the next second, he was stunned.
[Name: Syd Castell]
[Age: 17 (Normal Lifespan: ∞ days)]
[Mutant Abilities: Mimicry, Energy Absorption]
[Current Mimicry Target: God (Titles: Creator, God of Creation, Omniscient and Omnipotent One)]
(Unlock Progress: 1%)
[Abilities: (Not Unlocked)]
[Energy Points: 309]
First of all, the name was fine, just as before, so he ignored it.
The age was also accurate; compared to before, he had indeed gone from sixteen to seventeen.
However, what was displayed in the parentheses after his age had changed, from remaining lifespan to normal lifespan.
And the number of days after his lifespan was now represented by an ∞ symbol.
Syd was very familiar with this symbol. It had appeared in some anime and TV series before.
In Yu-Gi-Oh, certain god cards had this value, and in the TV drama Pawnshop No. 8, the number 8 represented ∞.
When he was a child, he didn't understand it, but when he grew up, he understood.
∞ represents infinity, something endless, also known as a Möbius strip.
If a person keeps walking along a Möbius strip, they can never stop, as it never ends and keeps looping!
In other words, his lifespan was now infinite.
Of course, this was only normal lifespan; it didn't mean he couldn't die.
If someone killed him, having an infinite lifespan would be useless. This only meant he no longer had to worry about lifespan and had truly become a god!
He had already anticipated this, so he wasn't too surprised.
The mutant abilities also displayed correctly, but what shocked him was the new mimicry target.
God?
Syd was stunned.
If it was just these two words, he might not be sure, but with the titles that followed, he instantly recognized who this existence was.
"Creator, God of Creation, Omniscient and Omnipotent One?"
Syd muttered to himself.
This time, the mimicry target was actually God?
Just moments ago, he was praying, hoping that the mimicry target wouldn't be too weak, at least on par with Orochi. Otherwise, it wouldn't be of much use.
He hadn't expected that not only was the new target not weak, but it was…
Syd's heart was racing.
Compared to Orochi, Scarlet Witch, and Balder, this time's target was definitely several levels above them!
If the myths were true, and the title of "Omniscient and Omnipotent One" was real, then Syd couldn't even imagine how powerful he would become!
"I was just thinking about how to reach the Multiverse level, but it seems I don't need to worry about that anymore?"
After pondering for a moment, Syd shook his head. "Forget it, only children make choices. I'll choose both paths!"
On one hand, he would increase the unlock progress of God, while on the other, he would explore the Multiverse to find other ways to enhance his strength.
Speaking of which, he really did come up with a way to reach the Multiverse level.
Killing the one behind the Time Variance Authority, Kang the Conqueror, and taking his place in managing the Sacred Timeline!
Just like in Loki Season 2, where Loki's final ending allowed him to transcend the tiers and become the God of Time, a Multiverse-level deity.
Of course, the downside was obvious. This kind of action was a form of sacrifice, giving up one's own freedom.
To free each timeline, Loki's true self was practically confined to that place, unable to leave.
As for whether Loki could create avatars to travel through different timelines, that was unknown.
In the end, Loki never displayed much power; it was only speculated that his power level was at the Multiverse level.
As for what his true power was, that was still unclear.
After thinking it over, Syd shook his head and immediately abandoned that idea.
Compared to sacrificing himself to liberate the Multiverse, he would much rather become a God who could act however he pleased.
Moreover, even now, Syd still felt wary of Kang the Conqueror.
That guy seemed like an ordinary person, but Syd couldn't figure out his true nature.
If even Loki could achieve that level of power, would the one who controlled the Sacred Timeline, Kang, be weak?
In the Loki series, Kang had already shown his ability to manipulate time and edit it as he pleased.
