Seeing his refusal, Blink and her companions were disappointed. They tried to persuade him a bit more, but seeing that he had no intention of joining them, they gave up and started chatting.
Blink sighed, a hint of anger appearing on her face. "Those people are really too much. They'll do anything to capture us..."
After sharing some of their experiences, Blink's eyes showed unwillingness, and she sighed again.
"If only that mutant Messiah were here. With him around, those people wouldn't dare to mess with us!"
The young white man, Al, said angrily, "Yeah, if Messiah were here, he'd definitely give those guys a hard time!"
"You think so too, right?"
"Wait, you don't know Messiah? What mutant doesn't know him by now?"
Seeing Syd's strange expression, Al frowned.
He continued, with admiration in his voice, "He's an Omega-level mutant, capable of easily destroying a city. He's like a god among mutants!"
"Hey man, as a mutant, how can you not know him? You must have come from the backwoods."
Listening to his rambling, along with the agreement from Blink and the other companion, Syd's expression grew even more peculiar.
"Ahem, you're right."
What else could he do? He just agreed.
Before they parted ways, Blink and her companions told Syd that if he had nowhere to go, he could find them.
Also, they implored him to inform them if he had any news about Messiah, clearly showing their idolization.
Syd vaguely agreed and then shook his head, walking away alone.
They separated here, but the previous incident did not end so easily.
Things didn't go as Syd expected, simply fading away.
On the contrary, the video of his actions spread across the internet, drawing significant attention.
"Wow, he dealt with so many people so easily?"
"Who is this guy?"
"Another powerful mutant?"
"This guy with the glowing red powers looks really strong. When will the government capture him?"
"We don't want to see another city-destroying freak. He must be dealt with!"
Netizens buzzed with discussions, each person feeling a mix of fear and anxiety.
Especially with this powerful-looking mutant, it only heightened their unease.
Apart from ordinary citizens, mutants also saw the video.
"Glowing red light, what ability is this?"
"Telekinesis? Mind control?"
In the X-Men, Cyclops, Scott Summers, watched the video with a puzzled expression.
Storm, Ororo Munroe, standing beside him, shook her head. "No, Scott, look at the red glow in his hand when he blasted the drone. That's not just telekinesis..."
Professor X, Charles Xavier, nodded. "This mutant also has other mental abilities."
He adjusted the video, pointing to the scene where the white-clad man controlled the four police officers.
"Are they trapped in illusions?"
Cyclops quickly guessed, commenting, "He has great potential!"
Professor X, Storm, and the others agreed with his assessment.
"It's surprising to see another capable mutant emerging so quickly."
"Though not as powerful as the Omega-level mutant Messiah, he's quite impressive. His abilities show significant potential."
"I think we should invite him to join the X-Men."
The X-Men proposed this idea, and Professor X agreed, thinking it would be beneficial to recruit him.
At that moment, Wolverine, Logan, suddenly asked, "Hey, Cyclops, any news on that kid, Syd?"
Cyclops glanced at him, "No, we're still looking."
"Alright..." Wolverine shrugged helplessly.
In the crowd, the burly and tall Colossus watched Professor X and the others, looking hesitant.
He was considering whether to reveal the child's identity to Professor X.
While they discussed this, the Brotherhood of Mutants also noticed this new mutant.
Pyro and Toad were surprised.
"Impressive," Magneto, Erik Lehnsherr, remarked.
"Should we invite him?" Mystique, asked.
Like the X-Men, they also saw the potential in this white-clad man. Although he wasn't as powerful as the Omega-level Messiah, he was still very formidable among mutants.
No exception, they also paid attention to him. If they found any leads on him, they would definitely invite him to join the Brotherhood to fight against humans.
In addition to ordinary citizens and mutants, several government agencies also noticed Syd.
In S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury's single eye flashed with contemplation, considering the possibility of recruiting him into the Avengers.
After a while, he felt the task was tricky. This guy's identity might be unacceptable to the public.
He decided to observe for a while.
If this capable individual's character wasn't too bad, they might attempt to recruit him. Otherwise, their lab could use more test subjects.
The hidden Hydra organization within S.H.I.E.L.D., a terrorist group, also noticed Syd.
"A powerful weapon," Pierce praised.
Soon, the mission to capture this white-clad man was assigned.
Although his importance was considered lower than that of the mutant Messiah, they still sent a significant number of agents.
In their eyes, he was an excellent candidate for brainwashing.
If they could brainwash him, they might use his mental abilities to control the terrifying mutant Messiah!
If they succeeded, they would hit the jackpot!
Controlling the terrifying Messiah, who could resist them then?
While S.H.I.E.L.D. had their plans, Base Commander Alessandro of Base 23 was watching the video with Dr. Bolivar Trask.
"Dr. Trask, how's the production of Sentinel robots going?" Commander Alessandro asked.
Dr. Trask, while operating the computer, replied, "We've produced over four hundred units so far."
"That many?" Alessandro's eyes lit up with interest. "Doctor, do you think these Sentinels could take down Messiah?"
Dr. Trask was stunned for a moment, then instinctively replied, "No way. With his city-destroying power, our chances are slim unless we have more Sentinels."
