Meanwhile, another Sentinel robot vanished from its original spot in an instant, reappearing behind Syd, its right hand forming into a sharp spike, ready to pierce his back.
For a moment, Syd's body was immobilized by the crystal, with a pillar of fire in front of him and a Sentinel attacking from behind.
In an instant, the coordinated attack of the Sentinels was astonishingly seamless, making it seem as though Syd was about to meet his end.
From a distance, Wellington and his group, who had been confused just moments earlier, now looked on in horror, feeling a deep sense of dread.
Was yet another comrade going to die?
At the same time, Logan and the others were startled, while Iceman and the students turned pale.
At the experimental base, Alessandro and Dr. Bolivar felt a jolt of disbelief.
Could Messiah be caught off guard and die from this sneak attack?
With the two men watching eagerly, as well as the eyes of Logan and the others...

Rebound Shield Experience +1
Both the incoming pillar of fire and the spike aimed at Syd's back were blocked, halting just outside his body.
To the outside observer, it looked as though Syd hadn't even moved, yet he had stopped both attacks.
At the same moment, a radiant light emanated from his body.
Under the glow, the crystal binding him dissolved like water, as though it had never existed.
Syd continued walking without pause.
As he walked, blue light began to form in his right hand.
Spirit Light Column Experience +1
With a loud boom, a massive blue light column over a hundred meters long appeared, and in the next instant, it slashed down from the sky, striking the lava-like Sentinel robot.
At that moment, whether it was Logan and his group, Iceman and the others, or the survivors, Wellington's group, they were all left stunned.
Watching a live broadcast was entirely different from seeing it in real life...
In the wide-angle view of a satellite, everything seemed so small.
Messiah had used this blue light beam before, but when they had seen it back then, it hadn't seemed so overwhelming.
Now...
Looking at the massive blue beam that extended over a hundred meters, crashing down with terrifying momentum, everyone was left speechless.
Under the blue beam, the Sentinel robot looked pitifully small...
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the beam slashed through the Sentinel robot's body!
Rip!
The lava-like Sentinel was instantly sliced in half!
In the blink of an eye, that Sentinel robot was scrapped.
In the next second, Syd calmly shifted his gaze toward the crystal-wielding Sentinel.
With a slight movement of his right hand, the still-present spirit light beam slashed through the second Sentinel.
Whoosh!
Under the stunned gaze of Logan and the others, the robot, which seemed to be made of water, was instantly cut into several pieces.
Finally, Syd turned his attention to the last remaining Sentinel.
At that moment, the Sentinel appeared to sense danger and began rapidly transforming into a silver form.
Both Syd and Logan's group recognized this form—it was the Colossus mode.
In this form, the Sentinel's body would be incredibly tough, second only to adamantium.
As Logan and the others watched, Messiah simply raised his right hand and extended his index finger.
The next second, the sound of shattering glass filled the air.
Crack, crack, boom!
The sound of glass breaking was followed by a terrifying shockwave.
Boom!
Syd's expression remained calm.
In the blink of an eye, the Sentinel that had been standing before him was sent flying backward with tremendous force.
Simultaneously, shards of transparent, shattered glass spread at incredible speed.
Under the dazed gazes of Logan and the others, the shards of broken glass sliced through the Sentinel's steel body.
As the Sentinel flew backward, its body was cut into pieces midair.
Clang, clang, clang...
The sound of metal fragments hitting the ground echoed.
In an instant, the scene fell silent.
Logan and the others stared blankly at the sight before them.
The Sentinels, which they had considered incredibly difficult to deal with, were now nothing more than piles of scrap metal in the blink of an eye?!
They had thought Messiah would use his Omega abilities to wipe out the Sentinels...
But instead, he didn't even use his Omega abilities. With just a few casual movements, he blocked several attacks and then calmly eliminated two of the Sentinels.
With another casual movement, he lightly pointed his right hand, and the last terrifying Sentinel was shattered in an instant...
At this moment, Logan and the others were left in a daze, staring blankly at the remains of the Sentinels scattered around them, then back at Messiah.
They had imagined the gap between Messiah and the Sentinels, they had even thought about the battle between the two, but none of them had anticipated what had just happened.
The gap between them was this massive?
This wasn't just an overwhelming victory—it was like casually crushing three ants...
What they would need to pay a huge price to accomplish, Messiah had done effortlessly...
At this moment, Iceman and the others looked at Messiah as if they were looking at a monster.
While Logan and the others were stunned, back at the experimental base, Alessandro, Dr. Bolivar, and Sheriff were equally in shock.
"This kind of power..."
Commander Alessandro, Dr. Bolivar, and Sheriff were all deeply shaken.
Had Messiah's power really become this terrifying?
And this was without even using his Omega-level mutant abilities...
It was only by comparing him to the Sentinels that they truly realized the extent of Messiah's current strength.
But there was something else that left Alessandro and Dr. Bolivar utterly dumbfounded.
After all this time, the Sentinels still hadn't managed to copy any of Messiah's abilities?
Even if they could only copy abilities for a short time before they became ineffective, copying was still copying!
Yet now, they hadn't even been able to do that?
What was going on?
They were in disbelief.
Of course, they didn't know that Syd's genes had become far too complex for the Sentinels to replicate in a short amount of time.
Still, even though the Sentinels couldn't copy his powers, their own inherent abilities were still troublesome. If they came in large numbers, wave after wave, they could still cause problems for him.
While Commander Alessandro and Dr. Bolivar were left in shock, the four survivors, Wellington and his group, stared blankly at the mysterious man in black.
Seeing his familiar abilities and the way he effortlessly dispatched the Sentinels...
Wellington and his group were deeply shaken and finally recognized who he was.

Wellington and his group finally understood why the Sentinels were staring at the mysterious figure and didn't dare to attack earlier.
It wasn't a malfunction after all…
At that moment, Wellington and his group were completely shocked.
"It's Messiah?!"
Looking at the distant figure of the mysterious young man in black, they couldn't believe it.
Messiah had appeared here?!
No wonder the Sentinels had behaved so strangely!
In addition to this, they were equally stunned by Messiah's power.
The three Sentinels, which had nearly killed them and left them powerless, were equally helpless in the face of Messiah.
It was as if he was casually strolling through the park, effortlessly squashing three bugs.
For a while, the four were filled with awe.
Only when they saw Messiah turning to leave did they dare to step forward.
They hurried over and lifted their unconscious companion, who had been struck by the Sentinels and had the mutant power inhibitor collar placed on him.
During the battle, Syd had deliberately avoided attacking him, or the four of them would have been left with nothing but a corpse.
"Wally, wake up…"
Wellington shook his unconscious friend.
"Ugh…"
Soon, the young man named Wally woke up.
"Where am I? Did you guys get caught too?" Wally asked in horror.
Wellington and the other three shook their heads.
"No, we were saved!"
"What?"
Wally was stunned, not understanding what had happened.
Saved? From those powerful Sentinels?
For a moment, Wally found it hard to believe.
"It was Messiah. He saved us!" Graf pointed to the distant figure.
Wally instinctively turned his head and saw the mysterious figure in black walking away.
"Messiah?" Wally muttered in shock.
At this point, Wellington and the others excitedly started talking.
"Wally, you have no idea how incredible Messiah is! He wiped out those three Sentinels in the blink of an eye!"
Wally was left speechless.
In the blink of an eye? That's an exaggeration, right?
As he listened to their recounting of the events and looked at the distant figure, Wally's heart was filled with admiration, awe, and a deep sense of reverence.
While they were discussing, Syd had already approached Logan and the others.
Before they could say anything, Syd spoke first, "Dealing with them one by one is too slow. I'll go handle this myself."
With that, his body lifted off the ground, and under the astonished gazes of Logan and the others, he flew into the distance.
Watching Messiah's figure disappear, Logan and the others opened their mouths but could only smile bitterly in the end.
Indeed, if Messiah worked alone, he could probably clear out the Sentinels much faster without them slowing him down...
Recalling what they had just witnessed, they couldn't help but feel a mixture of helplessness, amazement, and even a bit of frustration.
They were all mutants, yet the gap between them and Messiah was this vast...
While Logan and the others were feeling disheartened, Iceman and the other students, who had been secretly observing, were excitedly discussing what had just happened, exclaiming in awe.
As everyone's emotions fluctuated, Syd had flown several kilometers away, skillfully scanning the area below.
Swoosh
Syd increased his speed to seven times the speed of sound, quickly flying over the city.
In no time, the sound of wind roared through the city.
People walking on the streets or eating heard the noise.
Some were puzzled, while others caught a glimpse of a figure flashing across the sky.
"Who was that?"
"Is someone flying?"
"Wait, could that have been Messiah?"
Some thought the fleeting shadow looked familiar and were left in shock.
Before long, they got their answer.
Every time Syd spotted a Sentinel robot, he stopped briefly to destroy it, then took off again, leaving behind a sonic boom.
Although he didn't linger long, it was enough for those paying attention to recognize who he was and even capture footage of him.
As Messiah destroyed more and more Sentinels, more people became aware of his actions.
Ordinary people were terrified, while mutants were thrilled and grateful.
Soon, this story made the headlines.
Once again, Messiah's figure appeared before the public.
Seeing Messiah destroy Sentinel robots with ease, countless people were left in shock and fear.
At the experimental base:
"Damn that Messiah!"
"My Sentinels..." Commander Alessandro gritted his teeth, while Dr. Bolivar was heartbroken.
"Messiah, your arrogance won't last long!" Commander Alessandro seethed with hatred.
Over time, the base had accumulated over a thousand Sentinels. If they deployed them all at once in waves, avoiding being wiped out in one go by Messiah...
In that scenario, they didn't believe Messiah would be unscathed!
Furthermore, the longer they delayed, the more Sentinels they could amass, increasing the likelihood of Messiah's defeat.
"In a little while, when we have more Sentinels…" Commander Alessandro sneered.
As for now, he would let Messiah enjoy his brief moment of triumph.
With that in mind, he immediately ordered all Sentinels in the city to withdraw.
Swoosh
Syd was speeding through the air.
Soon, he noticed the strange movements of the Sentinels.
Were they retreating?
In the next second, he caught up with several Sentinels, his hands glowing blue.
Spirit Light Column Experience +1
Boom—one by one, the Sentinels were destroyed.
Then, with a flash, he flew around the outskirts of the city.
Sentinels attempting to retreat were quickly caught and wiped out in an instant.
The more Syd cleared them out, the better he felt.
Although these Sentinels were no real threat, it was still satisfying to mess with those responsible.
Indeed, back at the mysterious base, Commander Alessandro and Dr. Bolivar were seething with rage, wishing they could tear him apart.
If looks could kill, Syd would have died countless times by now.
But, in the face of Syd's power, without proper preparation, they could do nothing but seethe in impotent rage.
Soon, aside from a few Sentinels that had hidden or managed to slip away unnoticed, most of the Sentinels in the city had been wiped out.
The entire process took less than an hour.
With the job done, Syd flew back toward where Logan and the others were waiting.
Before long, he arrived and saw Logan, Storm, and Cyclops talking with Iceman and the rescued mutants.
