How could this be possible!
Many people didn't believe the result, thinking Irina was deceiving them.
Voices of doubt arose.
"What light? How could it be that powerful!"
"Exactly, we don't believe it!"
Under the spotlight.
Knowing there would be skepticism, Irina spoke heavily, "This is true. I take legal
responsibility for my words. You can report and verify the facts."
Hearing Irina's statement, even the most skeptical viewers had to believe it, though they were filled with disbelief.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
What kind of light could eliminate all the pursuers?
It was just too unbelievable!
Confusion filled everyone's hearts.
At this moment, Irina continued, "Dear viewers, rest assured, our program team will follow up on this matter. Soon, everyone will know the full story."
She smiled, "You need not worry too much. This time, the mutant boy escaped by luck. Our department was careless."
"After all, everyone can have a moment of carelessness."
"The next operation will definitely capture him!"
Her words eased the audience's emotions a bit, and they began to look forward to the next capture attempt's success.
They also hoped for another live broadcast to see what the so-called light was all about.
While the audience was buzzing with discussion, some mutants who were closely following Irina also noticed this live broadcast.
On a secluded street.
Logan and his companions stopped searching, looking at each other.
"This kid..."
Logan couldn't help but sigh.
Otto laughed, "Looks like we don't need to find him. He solved the problem himself, quite impressive."
Chris and Valentine nodded in agreement.
At this moment, besides being surprised that Syd eliminated those who were hunting him, they were also puzzled about one thing.
Light?
Does Syd have the ability to emit light?
Why didn't anyone know?
At this moment, they were both astonished and confused.
Additionally, they were worried about Irina's mention of the next capture attempt!
It's clear that the next operation would be even bigger, and Syd's chances of escape would be lower!
A mere mutant repeatedly embarrassing the government departments, they wouldn't rest until he's captured!
Understanding this, Logan and the others' happiness quickly faded, replaced by worry for Syd.
While they were worried about Syd, Magneto was also watching the live broadcast at the Brotherhood of Mutants' headquarters.
Erik's eyes showed astonishment.
"Light?"
"Does that boy have other abilities?"
After a while, Raven returned.
As soon as she arrived, Mystique smiled, "Erik, I've got some useful information about that mutant boy you're interested in."
Erik immediately became interested.
Then, he saw Raven take out a black recording pen.
As she played the recording, Raven recounted her infiltration of the base and the information she obtained.
When the recording pen played Jairo's description of the light destroying everything, even Erik was visibly moved.
Jairo's voice kept playing.
"The light destroyed everything..."
"The power of that light is unstoppable, unlike anything a human could possess, like a god's power!"
"They're all dead, all turned to ash under the light, hahaha..."
The recording's detailed content moved Erik deeply, more so than Irina's vague words in the
live broadcast.
The light Irina mentioned had such great power?!
Despite getting more detailed information, his astonishment and confusion didn't lessen but rather increased.
What kind of light was it to be so terrifying?
Terrifying enough that even from the voice, it was clear the soldier's mind had been affected.
After a long silence, Erik said solemnly, "Find that boy! Raven, take more people with you,
and find him!"
Raven nodded.

While the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants were taking action, Syd Castell was
diligently practicing Sunshine.
[Sunshine Experience +1]
[Sunshine Experience +1]
[Ability: Sunshine (27/500) Level 2]
At this moment, Venom's small head emerged from his right hand.
"Syd, what exactly are you doing?" Venom asked, puzzled.
He was a bit confused. Since meeting Syd, he had been practicing his superpowers continuously without using them for actual combat. It looked strange.
What was the use of this practice?
He pondered.
Was it to become more proficient with his superpowers, attempting more precise control?
Syd glanced at him and casually said, "I'm practicing my superpowers. You know, superpowers need practice. If not practiced, they get rusty."
"Really?" Venom was puzzled.
While chatting with Venom, Syd glanced at the estimated lifespan on the panel.
[Age: 16 (Remaining Lifespan: 90 days)]
"Phew..."
Syd let out a slight sigh of relief.
His internal photon energy had increased significantly, finally extending his lifespan to a
barely sufficient level, avoiding sudden death.
As long as the increase continued and more abilities were unlocked, he would eventually
overcome the various cancers in his body.
As night fell, the progress of Sunshine had improved considerably.
[Ability: Sunshine (89/500) Level 2]
Looking at the progress on the panel, Syd hesitated.
"This is too slow," he thought.
It would take several more days to level up Sunshine to Level 3!
He was hesitating whether to first improve the unlocking progress to gain new abilities.
After a while, Syd shook his head.
He couldn't resist continuing to improve Sunshine.
At Level 3, Sunshine's range would be greatly enhanced, making him better prepared for
various situations.
Even the power and intensity of Sunshine would increase significantly!
If Sunshine had been at Level 3 earlier, Number Five and Number One would have died even
faster!
Time flew by, and six days passed...
Using Venom's sensing abilities, Syd successfully evaded some trackers. This afternoon,
Sunshine finally reached a critical point!
Under the warm sunlight, Syd began his final practice.
A prompt sounded.
[Ability: Sunshine (0/1000) Level 3]
The next second, Syd's body began to change.
A familiar warmth appeared, rapidly transforming his body!
