Chapter 385: Chapter 385
As the pharaoh tried to sense the divine presence, far away in Egypt's capital and in other nations like the United States, astonishment flashed across countless faces.
Moments earlier, a massive golden pillar of light had erupted into the sky from the desert, connecting heaven and earth. The phenomenon was so extraordinary that it drew global attention.
Naturally, various national security agencies detected the energy surge and focused on the area. Satellites were immediately repositioned to capture the scene.
What they discovered left them dumbfounded-a pristine pyramid standing amidst the desert sands, untouched by erosion, as though it had just been constructed.
"How is this possible?"
Nearby Egyptian towns and cities, as well as tourists visiting the area, were also captivated by the golden pillar.
"A supernatural phenomenon?"
"A divine miracle?"
Whether local Egyptians or tourists, everyone was left gawking at the sight, murmuring theories as they debated the nature of the spectacle.
While the U.S. military and other nations remained wary and confused, their satellite feeds revealed something even more surprising the pyramid's apex began to peel open, exposing its interior.
Captured in high definition, the images showed the pharaoh, Lisa, and the others within the pyramid, along with a white-robed figure floating midair.
Unlike Lisa and the others, the U.S. military, unfamiliar with Ra's mythology, instantly reacted to the white-robed figure:
"The White Cloak?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Confusion spread rapidly.
"What is the White Cloak doing here?"
"What's the connection between him and this pyramid?"
Unable to make sense of the situation, they wasted no time deliberating and made a decisive
move.
After a cursory notification to Egypt, the U.S. activated their latest space-based weapon system.
The weapon, designed specifically to counter threats like the White Cloak and the Messiah, was installed covertly across key regions-including Egypt.
In moments, ten massive white structures, camouflaged in orbit, revealed themselves. Far larger than satellites, they began assembling enormous weaponized apertures.
Seven of these apertures glowed with a bluish light.
Boom!
Seven concentrated energy beams shot down toward the desert, targeting the pyramid with pinpoint accuracy.
Simultaneously, three other space-based weapons launched strange white missiles at supersonic speeds toward the ground.
The assault continued relentlessly, with more beams and missiles firing in rapid succession. In the desert:
On the pyramid's newly revealed platform, the pharaoh, filled with excitement moments earlier, froze. His expression tightened, his gaze lifting to the sky.
"What's happening? I feel danger approaching..."
Hidden within Syd's right hand, Venom communicated urgently via telepathy:
"Syd, there's danger above us!"
Even without Venom's warning, Syd's divine instincts had already detected the threat. He raised his eyes skyward.
The pharaoh and the suspected Sun God, Ra, both turned their attention to the heavens. Lisa and the others followed suit, their expressions puzzled.
But confusion quickly gave way to terror as seven blue energy beams streaked down from above, hurtling toward the pyramid with incredible speed.
Lisa and the others barely had time to react.
The pharaoh, though magically attuned, could sense the danger but was physically unable to respond in time.
Fear gripped his heart.
"What kind of attack is this?"
"Could it be an assault from other gods?"
"How dare they attack this being?!"
The pharaoh's thoughts raced as he realized the attacks were directed not at him, but at the white-robed figure.
Before anyone could react further, Syd moved.
In an instant, he vanished from the platform and reappeared high in the air, directly in the
path of the oncoming beams.
His right hand glowed with a crimson light.

With a casual swipe of his hand, his Chaos Magic surged forth, enveloping the seven energy
beams.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before the beams could explode, they were snuffed out as though swatted by an invisible
hand.
It was as effortless as brushing away flies.
Watching this unfold, the U.S. military wasn't surprised by the White Cloak's ability to neutralize the attack.
They had anticipated his defense and had prepared accordingly.
Above Egypt, the seven space-based weapons that had fired the beams emitted spatial distortions around their apertures.
As more blue beams were fired, they vanished mid-flight, only to reappear in different locations.
Below:
As Syd casually swatted away the energy beams, he noticed a spatial ripple to his left. He instinctively dodged, and the redirected beams shot past him, slamming into the distant
desert.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Spatial manipulation?" Syd muttered, his eyes narrowing.
"Is this advanced technology, or a mutant's ability?"
After a brief moment of thought, he leaned toward the latter.
Still, he wasn't particularly concerned.
After all, even if the beams hit him...
Syd stroked his chin, pondering. "Would they even hurt me?"
Under the watchful eyes of the U.S. military and other global observers, the White Cloak
continued to evade the attacks with playful ease.
No matter how or where the energy beams reappeared, his incredible speed rendered them
ineffective.
The military personnel watching from command centers were visibly frustrated.
"Is that just pure speed?"
"It's not teleportation?"
They turned to the mutant assisting with spatial manipulation, who shook his head in
confirmation.
This realization left the officers both stunned and grim-faced.
On the pyramid platform:
As Syd's supersonic movements created sonic booms, the shockwaves sent Lisa and the others
tumbling through the air.
Had he used his full speed, the resulting wind pressure could have been lethal.
Even so, many of them sustained injuries.
The only one who managed to stay on his feet was the pharaoh, though he stood frozen,
staring at the sky in disbelief.
"What kind of speed is this?"
"Is this the speed of a god?"
The pharaoh watched in awe as the white-robed figure blurred across the sky, moving so swiftly that it appeared as though he was teleporting. One moment he was still, the next he was somewhere else entirely.
Each casual motion widened the chasm between mortal and divine in the pharaoh's mind.
He had also witnessed Syd snuff out the energy beams with a mere wave of his hand.
Such destructive power, nullified so effortlessly?
Shock gave way to doubt in the pharaoh's heart.
"Could this being... not be the great Sun God, Ra?"
For the first time, the pharaoh began to question his assumption.
After all, the power wielded by this figure wasn't the radiant force of the sun-it was
something else entirely, a crimson energy unlike anything he had seen.
"Have I been mistaken all along?"
Confusion clouded his mind as the truth eluded him.
