Kapitel 226: Chapter 226
Just as Irina was brimming with confidence and viewers were amazed by the speed of Mach 6 missiles, believing that Messiah was done for.
Tony fell silent, Erik's face changed, and Professor Charles was anxious, wanting to rush to the Cerebro room in an attempt to save Messiah.
Meanwhile, the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj lamented that one of the only two Omega mutants was about to die, as the missiles approached Messiah.
Just when everyone imagined Messiah struggling against the missiles and eventually succumbing to them, an astonishing scene appeared.
In the broadcast footage, Messiah faced the direction from which the missiles were coming, seemingly watching them. The next second, his figure blurred.
With a swoosh, Messiah disappeared from his original position.
"What happened?"
The technician looked shocked and quickly zoomed out the live feed.
As the view expanded, everyone finally saw what had happened.
A black figure was flying at incredible speed in the sky.
Behind the black figure, the missiles were following closely like a shadow, but no matter how they pursued, they couldn't catch up to the moving shadow.
"Is that black figure...?" Irina's face froze, filled with shock.
"Is that Messiah?"
"Is he flying?"
"Am I seeing things? Messiah's flying faster than the missiles?"
"Aren't those missiles moving at Mach 6?"
"What is going on?"
Viewers were in disbelief, stunned, staring at Messiah's erratic UFO-like movements in the sky.
...
Stark Tower.
Tony was dumbfounded, and next to him, Pepper Potts covered her mouth, exclaiming instinctively, "Tony, my god..."
Apparently, she realized something, feeling extremely shocked.
Hearing her exclamation, Tony quickly recovered, immediately saying, "Jarvis, calculate the exact speed of the missiles and Messiah."
"Yes, sir..." Jarvis replied.
Soon, Jarvis estimated the data and said, "Sir, based on calculations, those missiles are moving at approximately Mach 5.9, and Mr. Messiah's speed is..."
In the tension between Tony and Pepper, Jarvis's voice continued.
"Mach 7..."
As soon as the words fell, Tony and Pepper were overwhelmed.
Messiah's speed had actually surpassed that of the missiles.
"Mach 7, Jarvis, are you sure?!"
Tony was questioning reality.
If he remembered correctly, the last time Messiah was pursued by missiles, his speed didn't even reach the speed of sound.
So, what was happening now?
Mach 7?
Originally, in his imagination, Messiah's speed couldn't possibly outpace those missiles. He would soon be caught, and then...
Now...
A living being's speed was surpassing that of those metallic missiles, reaching Mach 7? Was that even reasonable?
Tony was bewildered.
Suddenly, he thought of something and questioned reality once more. The rumor of Messiah growing stronger over time, with no visible limit to his potential—could it be true?
Had Messiah's speed increased to Mach 7 in such a short time?
Tony couldn't believe it; he would rather think it was all an illusion than believe in such an absurd existence.
Brotherhood of Mutants.
Magneto stood up, his body stiffened, mouth agape, eyes widened.
"This kid..."
"Am I seeing things?"
Apparently, he realized something.
...
X-Mansion.
Logan and others were rushing Professor X to the Cerebro room and were almost there.
At this moment, whether it was Cyclops Scott or Logan and the others, they all unknowingly stopped, staring at the broadcast on the professor's tablet in a daze.
The Mach 6 missiles couldn't catch up with Messiah?
"Professor, is there something wrong with the live feed?" Ororo asked cautiously.
"Yes!" Logan agreed incredulously.
Professor Charles smiled wryly and said, "I think we aren't mistaken. This is how the live broadcast is."
"Messiah... his speed..."
He trailed off, his heart filled only with shock.
Logan and the others were emotionally stirred.
At that moment, Professor X murmured, "I think we've underestimated Messiah's potential..."
Logan and the others were stunned, simultaneously amazed and confused.
They were all mutants, so why was Messiah so incredible? Was this the power of an Omega mutant?
They thought, feeling both envious and bitter.
...
Meanwhile, in Kamar-Taj.
All the sorcerers were feeling uneasy.
Messiah's speed was actually faster than the missiles?
Kaecilius sighed, "No wonder this Messiah is called an Omega mutant alongside the White Knight..."
With such an exaggerated speed, he was indeed abnormal...
No matter how long they practiced magic, they could never achieve such an inhuman speed.
At that moment, ordinary viewers began to understand what was happening.
"This can't be real!"
"It's fake! There's no way Messiah's that fast!"
"The missiles can't even catch up. This is beyond Mach 6? How fast is that?"
While viewers were in disbelief, Syd, who was effortlessly dodging the missiles, was in a good mood.
Indeed, with the speed boost, these once-threatening missiles were no longer a threat.
Floating and flying within a certain range was a steady state, with almost no energy consumption. Under these circumstances, he could circle around these missiles for days.
With the speed of these missiles, there was no way they could catch up!
And when their fuel ran out, they would be destroyed without any action on his part.
Of course, that was just a thought; he didn't plan to keep these missiles around forever.
Aside from worrying that dragging things out would prompt the military to bring faster missiles, he also didn't want to keep taking hits without striking back.
