Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 249: Chapter 249



Just as the words left his mouth, the purple-skinned woman named Karina shouted, "I don't want to be your slave anymore!"

From a distance, Star-Lord and the others had a bad feeling about this.

Syd narrowed his eyes slightly but didn't stop her from acting.

Realizing what was about to happen, the Collector's heart sank, and he shouted, "No!"

The next second, Karina's gaze locked onto the Power Stone, and without hesitation, she reached out her right hand and grasped it tightly.

Instantly, a violent reaction occurred, like hot oil meeting water!

Sizzling sounds filled the air as the Power Stone's purple energy surged outward, sparking like small missiles.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions followed, and under the impact of the Power Stone's energy, the various display cases shattered, leaving deep craters in the ground.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Ugh..."

The Collector, Rocket, and the others scrambled for cover in panic.

At that moment, as Star-Lord ducked and dodged, he instinctively turned to see how the mysterious man in white would avoid this catastrophe.

What he saw left him speechless. The man merely lifted his right hand, and a layer of red light appeared, standing like a barrier before him.

The flying purple energy from the Power Stone collided with the red light as if it were raindrops hitting a window, with hardly any effect.

Seeing this, Star-Lord's jaw dropped, utterly bewildered. "Oh my god..."

But before he could think further, Karina, who was holding the Power Stone, began to experience the consequences.

The energy overflowing from the Power Stone was enough to destroy the surroundings-so what about Karina, who was facing the full brunt of its power?

After all, she was just an ordinary person.

In an instant, purple energy marks appeared on her body, her skin being eroded and disintegrated.

"Ahhh!" Karina screamed.

Purple energy filled her entire being, cracks forming across her skin...

With a final scream, a terrifying explosion occurred. The immense purple energy surged outward, detonating and spreading across the room.

Everything around was obliterated, and the entire building exploded in a blast!

Groot carried Rocket as they fled, while Star-Lord and Gamora hid behind a wall, their hearts pounding with fear.

In the midst of the destruction, as everyone thought they were all running for their lives, there was one figure calmly floating in the midst of the purple energy.

Syd, using a barrier of Chaos Magic, was holding off the Power Stone's energy.

While the Power Stone's energy was violent and powerful, it wasn't a full-force outburst. Coupled with Syd's Chaos Magic, which had reached level four and was further enhanced by other abilities, the explosion wasn't a threat to him at all.

It felt like a breeze to him as he floated toward the case holding the black stone just moments before the explosion reached it.

Using his Chaos Magic, he wrapped the black stone and guided it into his backpack.

By the time he finished, the explosion had mostly subsided.

In the distance, the Collector lay on the ground, slightly injured but otherwise unharmed.

As for Groot and Rocket, they had already fled the scene.

Then, a voice echoed through the air.

"You..."

Star-Lord and Gamora cautiously peeked out from behind the wall, only to be shocked by the scene before them.

Amidst the ruins, a figure in white floated in the air...

In the surrounding devastation, he appeared completely unscathed-not even the corner of his clothes or their color had changed.

This fact was not lost on the Collector, Star-Lord, or Gamora, who were all well aware of what it meant.

It meant that this mysterious person had resisted the blast of the explosion head-on! Star-Lord was utterly dumbfounded.

"The terrifying explosion caused by the stone was blocked? Is this guy even human?"

The scene fell into a stunned silence. No one said a word.

At that moment, footsteps could be heard from outside.

It was Rocket and Groot, who had come rushing back in, worried after realizing the others hadn't made it out.

Charging in, they reached the room.

There, they saw Star-Lord, Gamora, and the others frozen in shock, as well as Syd, who was floating in mid-air, untouched by the chaos around him.

"Am I seeing things?" Rocket rubbed his furry paw over his eyes.

Had there not been an explosion just now?

If there had been, how was Syd completely unharmed?

As Rocket and Groot stood in disbelief, the floating figure moved.

Syd drifted toward the Power Stone, which was now exposed. He extended his right hand.

The red glow of Chaos Magic appeared once more.

The purple-glowing Power Stone floated up, enveloped in the red light.

Syd reached out, as if preparing to grasp the Power Stone.

Seeing this, Gamora and the others gasped in shock.

"What are you doing?" Gamora cried out.

Star-Lord exclaimed in disbelief, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, are you crazy?"

Rocket's fur stood on end in fear.

"Put it down!" the Collector shouted frantically.

At that moment, they found it hard to believe-was this mysterious man insane?

Had he not seen what had just happened?

Not to mention the destruction that had occurred in mere moments, but Karina, who had tried

to hold the stone, had been turned to ash!

Didn't he realize the danger of this stone?

They were in utter disbelief.

Even Rocket, who had earlier thought the Collector was exaggerating, now believed the

stories about the Power Stone were true.

This was indeed a dangerous object!

At that moment, Rocket wished he could be as far away from the stone as possible!

It was as if they could already see the moment when the mysterious man touched the purple stone, was overwhelmed by its energy, and exploded into dust.

As they trembled in fear and couldn't stop him in time, Syd's calm expression didn't change as

The grasped the Power Stone.

Instantly, the stone emitted an intense purple glow, its terrifying energy surging out.

The purple light began to spread across his body!

"We're doomed..." Rocket and the others muttered under their breath.

Just as they felt overwhelmed with fear and were about to flee, the scene before them left

them speechless.

The purple light surrounding Syd's body was rapidly retracting, flowing back into him.

Moreover, they noticed something peculiar.

When Karina had tried to hold the stone earlier, her body had been covered in cracks and energy marks, unable to withstand the Power Stone's energy. But now, Syd showed no signs

of damage whatsoever.

What was happening?

What was going on?

Star-Lord and the others were left utterly stunned.
