Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 463: Chapter 463

Black Bolt and the others remained skeptical for a moment.

Then—

Maria frowned and said, "Forget this 199999 or 616 nonsense. Do you even understand the consequences of recklessly traveling between universes? Do you realize the danger you've brought to Universe 838?"

At her words, Black Bolt and the others locked their gazes onto Syd, their expressions stern.

They assumed that this young intruder was unaware of the gravity of his actions and wanted him to understand the severe mistake he had made.

However, faced with their questioning, Syd remained calm and simply replied, "Oh, you mean the Incursion event?"@@novelbin@@

When two universes are drawn toward each other and overlap, they eventually reach a point where one must be displaced or destroyed—or both will be annihilated.

Typically, protecting a universe requires the Infinity Gauntlet and all six Infinity Stones, and even then, the stones are destroyed in the process.

That alone speaks to the terrifying nature of an Incursion.

Of course, there's another method—destroying the Earth during the overlap period, which would also prevent the collision.

Whenever an Incursion occurs, Earth always serves as the point of collision.

There's an eight-hour stabilization window, during which different Earths will momentarily exist in each other's reality. Destroying one Earth can save the other and its universe.

But if the collision isn't stopped within those eight hours, both universes will perish.

And judging by the fact that Universe 838 was still intact, yet trillions of lives were lost due to Doctor Strange, it wasn't hard to deduce—the other universe was the one that got wiped out.

Seeing the stunned expressions of Black Bolt and the others, Syd chuckled.

"If I had to guess, you must have used the Infinity Gauntlet and all six Infinity Stones to save Universe 838, right?"

"The Power Stone, Space Stone, Mind Stone, Soul Stone, and Reality Stone were all shattered in the process—only the Time Stone disappeared."

At those words, Black Bolt and the others were visibly shaken.

This traveler from Universe 616 actually knew about the consequences of multiversal travel?

Not only that—he even knew the exact method to resolve an Incursion?!

But more importantly, he knew that resolving an Incursion would cause five of the Infinity Stones to shatter, while the Time Stone would vanish?

This was highly classified information!

How could this 616 intruder possibly know any of this?!

Universe 616 hadn't even experienced an Incursion yet—so how could he be aware of these details?!

"Who the hell are you?!"

Maria demanded in shock.

Syd ignored the question and continued speaking at a measured pace.

"Because the Ultron Initiative was a success in Universe 838, Ultron replaced most of your heroes. Many of them retired."

"But that, in turn, led to the formation of the Illuminati."

"This universe appears peaceful—no villains, no major conflicts. But it all exists under an iron-fisted rule of fear. The moment that control slips, or if the Illuminati falls apart, this world will plunge into chaos like never before."

As Syd spoke, Black Bolt and the others frowned deeply.

"I don't know what you're talking about. What fear? What control?"

Maria scoffed, "The Illuminati will not collapse. No one can bring us down!"

Black Bolt and the others nodded in agreement.

Syd, unfazed, replied calmly, "Is that so? Then perhaps today is the day."

At those words, Black Bolt and the others instantly became alert.

Mister Fantastic narrowed his eyes.

"You've been talking a lot, but none of it changes the fact that you illegally entered Universe 838."

"Because of you, another Incursion could happen!"

Their eyes locked onto Syd, waiting for his explanation.

However, rather than panic, Syd remained utterly calm.

"This was bound to happen sooner or later. I merely accelerated the process. And even if it happens—so what?"

The faces of Mister Fantastic and the others darkened.

This kid knew the consequences yet felt no remorse?!

"What do you mean, 'so what'? How ridiculous!"

Maria sneered.

"You will pay the price for this! The Illuminati will eliminate you!"

Syd glanced at her indifferently, then at Black Bolt and the others.

"Oh? You… and them?"

Black Bolt and the others grimaced.

This 616 traveler might look young, but his arrogance was appalling.

And what's more—he was utterly fearless.

Who the hell did he think he was?!

Mister Fantastic frowned.

"That massive red energy that covered New York—was that your doing?"

Staring at Syd, he continued, "Listen, I don't know who you are in Universe 616, but if you think a little power makes you invincible, you're gravely mistaken."

"Do you even realize who you're up against?"

With that, he pointed toward Black Bolt.

"This is Black Bolt. His power is beyond your comprehension. If he so much as whispers—

"You will die!"

At those words, Black Bolt crossed his arms and stood tall, a smug smile creeping onto his lips.

He looked down on Syd with undisguised arrogance.

Captain Carter and the others also nodded in agreement.

"Kid, Black Bolt's power is no joke. You really don't want to test it."

Professor Charles spoke gently.

"Come with us."

For some reason, he felt a strange fondness for this youth.

Not wanting to see him perish needlessly, Charles was subtly offering him a chance to surrender—if he complied, they might spare his life.

Mister Fantastic and the others frowned slightly but didn't object.

If this boy had any sense, they could afford to be lenient.

However—

Hearing their boastful warnings, Syd simply tilted his head and smirked.

"Black Bolt?"

Pointing at the man clad in black, he chuckled.

"You're saying that if he opens his mouth, I'll die?"

His amused expression made Professor Charles sigh.

It was clear to him now—this boy was ignorant.

He didn't understand the vastness of power, the hierarchy of strength.

He had likely never witnessed Black Bolt's full might before—that's why he dared to be so reckless.

Maria and the others sneered, thinking this 616 traveler was courting death.

As for Black Bolt himself, his expression darkened.

The very next second—under everyone's watchful gaze—

Black Bolt took a step forward… and opened his mouth.

At that moment, Professor Charles shook his head inwardly.

He knew it.

This young fool was doomed.

No one could withstand Black Bolt's voice.
