Su Yao feared the Old God’s imminent arrival and raised his Godhead to level 4, then broke open the Cosmic Cube to prepare the Space Stone as a weapon. He teleported to Hong Kong, where bystanders recognized him as Messiah and fled.

Su Yao waited in Hong Kong for Dormammu or the Old God while the world watched his appearance and feared what he might do. Ultron prepared 1,200 Sentinel Robots to capture Messiah, while S.M.A.R.T. agents approached Su Yao and then withdrew; Dormammu had still not appeared.

• Su Yao sent the fleeing onlookers away and waited in the air as panic spread through Hong Kong and news of his arrival reached the world.

• Li Shui complained that Zhang Zhen had stopped him from confronting Su Yao, while Su Yao wondered why Dormammu had not appeared.

Su Yao wondered why Dormammu had not invaded, while Ancient One reflected on how the altered future had kept her alive. As Sentinel Robots surrounded Messiah in Hong Kong, Dormammu appeared through a spreading breach from the Dark Dimension.

• Su Yao suspected Dormammu had delayed his invasion because Ancient One was still alive.
• Ancient One considered how the future had changed and wondered whether the change would bring greater danger.

• Mordo and Stephen Strange recognized the Dark Dimension breach and warned that it had to be stopped.
• Dormammu appeared within the black-purple space, gazing down at Earth with greed and contempt.

• Dormammu told Ancient One that he would deal with her while Su Yao handled the threat from Earth.
• The sky over Hong Kong turned dark as a vast hole opened into another dimension, and people heard whispers before crying out that God had descended.

An Old God’s arrival spread madness and mutation across Earth, but Su Yao remained unaffected. Ancient One used the Eye of Agamotto to rewind the Old God’s arrival, leaving Su Yao with fading memories and a new sense of resistance to time’s effects.

• The Old God’s whispers and Black Tentacles caused people around the world to mutate and fall into madness, while Professor X Charles and Thor watched in despair.

• Ancient One’s Eye of Agamotto unleashed time magic that rewound the Old God and made the black void disappear.
• Mutations faded worldwide, but Su Yao’s memories of the Old God grew hazy as he sensed a resistance to the changes in time.

Su Yao watched Ancient One reverse the Old God’s influence on people, then trap Hong Kong in the Mirror Dimension as Dormammu attacked. With the Old God invading Earth again, Ancient One left Su Yao to delay it while she confronted Dormammu.

• Su Yao realized that the reversal of time had erased the Old God’s influence and restored people around the world, though they retained faint, dreamlike memories.
• Ancient One drew on the Dark Dimension’s energy, enclosed Hong Kong in the Mirror Dimension, and cast spells that blocked sound and obscured the Old God’s tentacles.
• Dormammu attacked Ancient One, and after she redirected his first beam, he shattered the Mirror Dimension with a stronger blast.
• The Old God’s hollow reappeared in the sky, causing people around the world to despair as the invasion resumed.
• Ancient One told Su Yao to delay the Old God while she dealt with Dormammu, and Su Yao recognized that her final spell had blurred the Old God’s tentacles.

Su Yao confronted the Old God after Ancient One's spell blocked its influence from driving people mad. He wounded one of its tentacles to provoke it into revealing more of itself, leaving the Old God enraged.

• Yi Li Na, Professor X, Thor, Tony Stark, Li Shui, and Ultron doubted that Su Yao could survive the confrontation.
• The Old God struck at Su Yao with a Black Tentacle, and he dodged before extending a Level 4 Spiritual Light Beam.
• Su Yao's beam cut halfway through the tentacle but could not sever it, alarming the watching crowd.
• Su Yao realized the injury had served its purpose and taunted the Old God, which flew into a rage.

Su Yao used Sunshine Pervades to unleash platinum-white light across nearly fifteen kilometers, erasing matter and breaking down the Old God's black energy armor. The light checked the Old God's attack, but the two remained locked in a confrontation.

• The city-sized Old God emerged from the void and launched black-armored tentacles at Su Yao.

• Su Yao activated Sunshine Pervades, gathering sunlight into a vast field of platinum-white radiance.
• The light erased air, dust, and parts of buildings across nearly fifteen kilometers, shocking Stephen Strange, Mordo, Ultron, Li Shui, and others.
• The radiance blocked the Old God's tentacles and rapidly stripped away its black energy armor.

Su Yao’s Level 4 Sunshine Pervades stripped away the Old God’s protective energy and began destroying part of its body, but the Old God retaliated with a red beam that overwhelmed Su Yao’s light. With the beam nearly upon him and the world expecting his death, Su Yao decided to make a last attempt using the Space Stone.

• Su Yao’s Sunshine Pervades melted the Old God’s final energy layer and rapidly dissipated part of its body.
• The enraged Old God fired a massive red beam that pushed back Messiah’s Omega Ability light and closed in on him.
• People around the world, including Charles, Luo Gen, Tony Stark, Stephen Strange, Mordo, Li Shui, Ultron, and Dormammu, watched and believed Su Yao was about to die.
• With the red beam two meters away, Su Yao remembered the Space Stone in his hand and decided to use it as a last resort.

Su Yao drew on the Space Stone to empower Sunshine Pervades and drove back the Old God’s red ray. His light engulfed the area and began dissolving the Old God, leaving it screaming and resisting as Su Yao increased the power further.

• Su Yao absorbed the Space Stone’s spatial energy, strengthening Sunshine Pervades until its light forced the Old God’s red ray back.
• Su Yao released a massive platinum-white burst that destroyed nearby structures and objects, then rose into the sky and transformed into a sunlike figure.
• Su Yao’s radiance spread across the area and began dissolving the Old God’s body.
• The Old God resisted with black and red energy, but Su Yao increased his absorption of the Space Stone’s power.
• The Old God screamed through its Mind Fluctuation as its enormous body melted, unable to believe an ant could wield godlike power.

Su Yao killed the Old God with Sunshine Pervades, but the creature warned that its true body would descend and claim him. The survivors and observers were stunned by the scale of his power, while Su Yao collected a strange liquid left behind by the Old God.

• The Old God declared that its true body would return, then its Mind Fluctuation vanished after Su Yao killed it.
• Su Yao discovered that a Strange Black Liquid had survived the attack, sensed his Godhead wanted to consume it, and stored it in his Space Ring.
• Yi Li Na and viewers watching the broadcast reacted in disbelief to Su Yao's sudden victory and the vast range of Sunshine Pervades.
• At X-Academy, Professor X Charles marveled at Su Yao's Omega Ability and worried that he might lose control again.
• Thor, Tony Stark, Stephen Strange, and Mordo discussed Su Yao's overwhelming power, while Stephen wondered whether a Dimensional Demon God could grant him similar strength.
• Li Shui watched the aftermath in shock and fear, questioning why Omega Mutants were so strong.

After Su Yao killed the Old God, Dormammu withdrew from Hong Kong rather than face him and Ancient One. Su Yao then left, considering how to obtain the Eye of Agamotto and the Infinity Gauntlet.

• Ultron watched Su Yao kill the tentacled monster and resolved to take his and White-Clothed Hero's powers to become a god.
• Dormammu realized Su Yao could threaten him outside the Dark Dimension and decided to delay his invasion of Earth.
• Ancient One warned Dormammu that Earth had another powerhouse comparable to Su Yao, but Dormammu dismissed her and withdrew to the Dark Dimension.
• Su Yao considered obtaining the Eye of Agamotto and going to Asgard for the Infinity Gauntlet.
• Su Yao vanished using the Space Stone, and Ancient One returned through a portal to Kama Taj.

After becoming alarmed by the black liquid’s danger, Su Yao absorbed it with his Godhead, gaining a strange new power that unleashed eerie whispers across the city. He calmed the effect around Venom, but the city’s people had already begun to hear the whispers and lose their minds.

• People around the world discussed Messiah’s strength, while Dormammu contacted his believers to investigate Earth’s powerful beings.
• Su Yao took the black liquid from his Space Ring and decided to absorb it despite the danger; Venom tried to stop him.
• The black liquid spread over Su Yao’s hand but could not devour his God Race Body, so he used his Godhead to absorb it.
• Su Yao’s Godhead turned dim yellow and gained Strength Enhancement as strange murmurs began affecting Venom and people throughout the city.
• The whispers drove nearby people into madness, and Venom began to show signs of mental and physical change.
• Su Yao released dim yellow light and controlled it, restoring its brightness and easing the bizarre effect on Venom.

Su Yao discovered that his transformation into an Old One had exposed people to distorted knowledge, driving them mad and turning them into weak believers. He realized the knowledge could spread to others, but left the affected people alone as Caleb recruited a woman into their faith.

• Su Yao found faint faith threads linking him to people who had gone mad and discovered they carried crude, eerie magic related to light.
• Venom told Su Yao that observing him had felt like seeing the source of all knowledge, and that the knowledge had nearly driven him insane.
• Su Yao considered using the Mind Stone to erase the strange knowledge from the affected people, but decided against it.
• Caleb approached a middle-aged woman and drew her in by offering to share unknown stories from the Lord's seven days of creation.
• Su Yao recognized that the knowledge was distorted and contagious, and concluded that the information released during his transformation had driven people mad.

Su Yao wondered whether growing stronger would make his presence release knowledge that drove people insane, while people around the world tried to reassure themselves that Messiah’s latest outburst had only reached fifteen kilometers. In the Dark Dimension, Dormammu learned that Earth had two Omega Mutants and asked Kelly what made the White-Clothed Hero so powerful, leaving him puzzled by her fearful reaction.

• Su Yao wondered whether his growing strength would make his presence drive people mad and cause them to mutate.
• Marco argued online that Messiah’s latest outburst was another loss of control with a range of only fifteen kilometers, easing people’s fears.
• Base Chief Alessandro and Bolivar Doctor saw Marco’s theory and began considering killing Messiah, while Thor praised his little brother and the Avengers discussed Ultron.
• Dormammu questioned Kelly about Earth’s powerful figures, learned of Messiah and the White-Clothed Hero, and asked what abilities made the White-Clothed Hero a match for Messiah.
• Kelly reacted to Dormammu’s question with awe and fear, leaving him surprised.

Dormammu learned that the White-Clothed Hero could warp reality and was wary of his power. Su Yao focused on raising Sunshine Pervades to Level 5, then prepared to eliminate Ultron by extracting the Mind Stone.

• Kelly told Dormammu that the White-Clothed Hero could warp reality, transform Sentinel Robots into butterflies, and release light that covered Earth.
• Dormammu envied the White-Clothed Hero's power, recognized him as Asgard's God of Light, and resolved to plan carefully for a future invasion of Earth.
• Su Yao concluded that level 4 Sunshine Pervades had reached a range limit of two hundred kilometers and anticipated that Level 5 would break through it.
• Su Yao decided to deal with Ultron before he could grow stronger and changed into the White-Clothed Hero's attire.
• Su Yao used Chaos Magic to break open the Mind Scepter and reveal the golden Mind Stone.

Su Yao took the Mind Stone and traveled to Sokovia to find Ultron, who was capturing the mutant Stan and the young Wanda and Pietro. Just as Ultron cornered them, a figure dressed in white descended from the sky.

• Su Yao grasped the Mind Stone and used the Space Stone to travel invisibly to Sokovia in search of Ultron.
• Ultron surrounded Stan's house with Sentinel Robots and offered to spare Wanda and Pietro if Stan surrendered to him.
• Stan attacked the Sentinel Robots with shockwaves and told Wanda and Pietro to run, but a silver Sentinel Robot restrained him.
• Ultron's Sentinels seized Stan and blocked Wanda and Pietro's escape, leaving all three in despair.
• Su Yao appeared above them and slowly descended from the sky.

Su Yao arrived in Sokovia and effortlessly defeated Ultron’s Sentinel Robots, then cut Ultron off from the network to prevent his escape. Wanda, Pietro, and Stan asked to follow Su Yao, offering to help him in exchange for a chance to take revenge on Tony Stark.

• Su Yao recognized Wanda and Pietro and realized they had not awakened their abilities through Hydra experiments.
• Su Yao destroyed four Sentinel Robots with Chaos Magic, leaving Ultron’s occupied body intact.
• Su Yao used the Mind Stone, Chaos Magic, and Mind Fluctuation to sever Ultron’s network connection and prepared to take him away.
• Pietro asked Su Yao to let him, Wanda, and Stan follow him and help with his work.
• Wanda explained that they wanted revenge on Tony Stark and hoped following Su Yao would give them a chance to get it.

Su Yao directed Wanda, Pietro, and Stan to Kama Taj, then destroyed Ultron’s sub-bodies and erased his main body so he could not return. At Kama Taj, Stephen Strange grew tempted by Kaecilius’s claims about the Dimensional Demon God and began praying, whereupon he felt the power for himself.

• Su Yao told Wanda, Pietro, and Stan to seek power and protection at Kama Taj, and used the Mind Stone to place its location in their minds.
• Su Yao invaded Ultron’s program core, found his sub-bodies, and destroyed the robots before erasing Ultron’s main body with Chaos Magic and Sunshine Pervades.
• Stephen Strange recalled Kaecilius’s claims that faith in the Dimensional Demon God granted power without a price and wondered if it could heal his hands.
• Stephen Strange visited Kaecilius, who taught him to pray to the Great Demon God.
• Stephen Strange recited the prayer hesitantly, then felt something and reacted with shock.

Stephen Strange received divine power from Su Yao, which healed his hands and strengthened his faith. Confident in his magic, Strange sparred with Mordo but was overwhelmed and knocked to the ground.

• While reciting the prayer, Stephen Strange felt a small amount of divine power enter his body and slightly improve his injured hands.
• By the next morning, Strange's hands had healed, and Su Yao sensed his faith rise to that of an ordinary believer as a steady flow of divine power reached him.
• Strange arrived at Kama Taj, where Mordo mistook his dazed manner for fear until Strange declared that he felt confident in magic.
• Mordo challenged Strange to spar, and apprentices gathered to watch them fight.
• Mordo used his artifacts and magic to overpower Strange, then struck him with the Living Tribunal Staff and sent him crashing to the ground.
