Listening to Mikaela's words, Syd frowned.
As expected, the guy with the teleportation ability wasn't there...
It made sense. Since they had chosen to ambush him here, they wouldn't have stayed. The people in the destroyed base earlier were probably just insignificant foot soldiers.
He could discern some of this from the officer's words.
For instance, the officer only knew about some unimportant military bases. As for the important ones, he had only heard vague mentions and didn't know their exact locations.
While deep in thought, Syd's flying figure came to a stop.
He looked up and saw a military base in the distance, coming into view.
Carrying the officer, Syd flew over.
On his way there, he saw chaos in the base—many people were panicking, trying to escape.
He even saw a helicopter leaving the base, seemingly attempting to flee.
Clearly, they knew he was coming.
Without hesitation, Syd's hand began to glow blue.
[Spirit Beam experience +1]
In the next moment, a blue energy beam appeared.
A flash of blue light.
A hundred meters away, the rotor blades of the black helicopter buzzed as it flew away from the base.
Boom! In almost the blink of an eye, the blue beam cut through the helicopter.
With a swish, the helicopter split in two and then exploded like fireworks in the sky.
After eliminating the helicopter, Syd moved his right hand, still channeling the Spirit Beam, towards the military base.
At this moment, the faces of the personnel and officers in the base were filled with despair and shock.
"Messiah is actually coming here?!"
"Why is this happening? Somebody save us!"
Watching this scene via satellite, the ordinary viewers fell silent.
Then, under their stunned gazes, the Level 4 Spirit Beam—whose range, power, and duration had all greatly increased—instantly swept across the base.
Boom! The entire military base was split in two.
Ignoring the people in the base, Syd continued to control the Spirit Beam, which stretched over a hundred meters long, carving into the ground.
In an instant, deep cuts appeared on the ground.
Meanwhile, attacks from the military base arrived—bullets, rockets, and other projectiles bombarded him.
However, the scene that unfolded only filled everyone with despair.
Bang bang bang! Boom boom boom!
No matter the attack, all were blocked by the Reflective Shield, without even making a splash...
The people in the base were furious and terrified.
They wanted to kill Messiah, but the sight before them only made them feel suffocated.
It was only now that they truly realized just how terrifying Messiah was and the immense pressure he exerted on them.
Watching live broadcasts and attacking with missiles from afar, they ultimately lacked the sense of facing him directly.
Now, seeing Messiah unmoving as he withstood countless attacks...
"Monster, he's a real monster..."
"Why would such a person be born in this world..."
"Help, I don't want to die..."
The people in the base—all of them—wore expressions of fear.
Yet, facing their pleas and desperate cries, Syd remained emotionally unaffected, still controlling the Spirit Beam.
Boom boom boom...
Cuts appeared on the ground, accompanied by terrified screams.
[Spirit Beam experience +1]...
When the Spirit Beam could no longer be maintained, Syd would cast it again. In just a few moments, under his relentless attacks, the massive military base was reduced to rubble.
Explosions and fires erupted in several areas.
Soon, there wasn't a single survivor left in the base.
After surveying the destroyed base one last time, Syd left without looking back, flying toward the nearest city.
As for the officer he was holding, Syd simply eliminated him.
In the sky, a satellite captured the horrifying scene clearly.
At this moment, countless people fell into fear and silence.
Compared to the base that was engulfed by light and vanished in an instant, this overwhelming, slowly destructive scene made them even more terrified.
The military base's futile struggle, Messiah's despair-inducing power, were all vividly displayed before them.
A secret military base.
"Arrogant, absolutely arrogant!"
"Damn Omega mutant!"
"You will pay the price one day!"
Watching their comrades die, dozens of officers and several generals in the base were filled with fury.
But, for now, they were powerless. As for dealing with Messiah, it would have to be addressed later.
...
On the live broadcast.
Irina, wearing a beautiful dress, was dumbfounded as she watched Messiah fly into the city and then disappear into a secluded corner.
At this moment, the satellite had lost track of him.
However, there wasn't time for her to think too much, as Messiah's disappearance led the viewers to turn their anger on her.
"Irina, is this the good news you promised us, with all that teasing?"
"Heh..."
"Disappear from my sight, you liar!"
Every time Irina said she had good news, the outcome was always beyond expectations, and this had directly enraged the viewers.
...
On the broadcast stage.
Seeing the messages from viewers, Irina's face was full of frustration and panic.
Meanwhile, Magneto and others also had mixed emotions.
X-Mansion.
"Logan," Charles turned to his side.
"Professor? What's up?" Logan looked puzzled, not understanding why Charles suddenly called him.
In the next second, Professor X gave the answer. "Logan, I need you to go to the city where Messiah was last seen. Try to find him before he completely vanishes."
Logan understood, then nodded.
He had heard about this from the professor earlier, but because of Messiah's situation, he hadn't taken action yet.
Soon, he, Cyclops, and Storm boarded the black X-Jet.
With a roar, the X-Jet disappeared into the sky.
"Hopefully, it goes smoothly..." Charles sighed.
As the X-Men took action, in the city where Messiah had last disappeared.
The sunlight poured down, and Syd, having eluded satellite surveillance, was standing under the sun, continuously absorbing sunlight to replenish his depleted energy.
At this moment, he sighed.
"Too bad, only two bases destroyed..."
Feeling regretful, his attention turned to his own power.
(End of Chapter)
The battle just now proved that my strength still wasn't enough; otherwise, I wouldn't have been so bothered by those missiles.
For example, if my speed were ten times the speed of sound instead of seven, I would have been confident in easily destroying that base, and the missiles wouldn't have affected me, avoiding such an embarrassing situation.
Furthermore, it's obvious that next time the military's weapons will be even more advanced and harder to deal with.
If I don't improve my abilities, facing them with my current strength could lead to trouble...
While thinking about this, Syd absorbed more photon energy, turning his attention to the panel in front of him.
Unlock Progress: 74%
"At 75% or 80%, I should be able to awaken the next ability..." he thought, glancing at his recently depleted energy points with a sense of regret.
Currently, the sunlight wasn't even enough to fully replenish his photon energy, let alone gather more energy points.
Time passed quickly, and soon the sun began to set.
...
A new day arrived with the morning sun shining down.
By this time, Syd's photon energy had fully recovered. Just as he was about to pause his other ability training to collect some energy points and push Baldur's unlock progress to 75%, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the quiet alley.
Syd frowned slightly.
Seeing this, he prepared to go invisible and leave the area.
But just as he was about to activate his invisibility, a familiar voice made him pause.
Logan?
He heard a conversation not far away.
"Cyclops, did you find him yet?"
"No?"
Listening to the conversation, Syd had a hunch.
"Are they looking for me?"
Syd pondered for a moment, hesitating.
After a brief moment of indecision, he decided to stop activating his invisibility and see if Wolverine had something important to say.
After all, it had been a long time since he last saw Logan, ever since that experimental base sent people after him...
With that in mind, he took a step toward the source of the voices.
On the other side, Logan looked frustrated, listening to Cyclops and Storm over his headset, both reporting they hadn't found the Messiah.
They had spent all afternoon and night searching every corner of the city, but still hadn't found any trace of the Messiah...
He couldn't help but wonder if the Messiah had already left the city...
Thinking about it, Logan's face turned solemn.
The situation for mutants had been getting worse lately, with the Sentinels relentlessly hunting them. He couldn't shake the feeling of powerlessness.
Other than the Messiah and the White Knight, no one could stop the Sentinels...
As Logan pondered this, he sighed deeply.
He was almost convinced that the Messiah had truly left the city. Otherwise, how could they have searched the entire place without finding him?
Logan's expression grew even more downcast.
But just as he was about to accept this reality, footsteps suddenly echoed from a dark corner nearby.
Logan immediately tensed up and instinctively turned his head.
The next second, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Out from the shadows walked a young man dressed in black, carrying a black backpack.
Since Syd was showing his face this time, Logan could clearly see the changes.
For a moment, Logan was dazed, almost thinking he was looking at a god.
The young man's face was strikingly handsome, flawless to the point of not seeming human.
If not for the familiar hints in his face, Logan might have thought he had the wrong person.
This was the Messiah?
How had he changed so much?
Noticing the surprise in Logan's eyes, Syd wasn't surprised.
After the transformation of his divine body, divine power of light, and divinity, his appearance had indeed changed significantly, growing more handsome, almost approaching that of a god.
There was even an aura about him that made people reluctant to look directly at him.
"Messiah... Syd, is that you?" Logan hesitated.
Syd nodded and asked, "What's going on?"
He had some guesses but wanted to confirm.
Before Logan could respond, a voice came through his headset.
"Logan, what's happening?"
"Did you find the Messiah?"
Storm and Cyclops anxiously asked through Logan's headset.
"Yes, I found the Messiah!"
As soon as he said that, both Storm and Cyclops were in disbelief and shock.
They had actually found him?
They quickly asked for Logan's location and hurried over.
Soon, Storm and Cyclops arrived at the secluded alley one after another.
It was really the Messiah!
Looking at the boy standing quietly in the distance, his appearance almost divine, both Storm and Cyclops were filled with joy and astonishment.
At the same time, they felt a bit at a loss, unsure how to approach the terrifying Omega-level mutant before them.
Especially Cyclops, whose feelings were incredibly conflicted.
On one hand, they needed the Messiah's help, but on the other, it was suspected that this boy had killed Jean...
In this situation, Cyclops' emotions were naturally all over the place.
With no one speaking, an awkward silence filled the air.
Finally, Syd broke the silence.
"Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
Hearing his question, the three of them finally calmed down.
"Syd..."
Logan began to explain.
It didn't take long for Syd to understand the situation.
"Sentinels, huh..."
He frowned.
He knew all about those machines hunting mutants. Not long ago, he had scoured a whole city for Sentinels and destroyed every single one of them.
As a result, no more Sentinels dared to enter that city, and it became one of the safest places for mutants.
Faced with Logan's plea for help, Syd hesitated, thinking it over.
He didn't mind destroying more Sentinels, as it would certainly cause trouble for those responsible.
Moreover, Logan and the others knew the locations of some military bases...
After a moment of thought, he nodded.
Seeing the Messiah agree, Storm and the others were overjoyed.
They quickly relayed the news to Professor X, who was both shocked and puzzled.
An Omega-level mutant...
What kind of person was this Messiah?
Mystery always seemed to surround him...
Not just Professor X, but the rest of the mutants at the X-Mansion, including Beast, were equally perplexed.
