[News! I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived! Event!!!]
<150 Power Stones/Chapter!>

They thought this Messiah was nothing but a clown. With such arrogance, someone would inevitably deal with him sooner or later! And just as they predicted, Irina's solemn voice rang out in the broadcast.
"Rest assured, viewers, such evil forces will not be tolerated by the government. Authorities are already addressing this issue, and it won't be long before we have an answer."
"Neither the Twelve Apostles nor this Messiah will escape!"
"Rumor has it that the authorities have prepared even more powerful and mysterious weapons this time!"
"Please rest assured..."
Irina comforted the many viewers.
However, despite her reassurances, the viewers weren't entirely convinced.
The Messiah was so powerful; what kind of secret weapon could possibly deal with him? No matter what Irina said this time, they found it hard to believe.
Irina knew what most of the audience was thinking, but she didn't rush to argue. Time would prove everything.
She smiled confidently.
Seeing her sudden confident smile, X-Men like Logan and members of the Brotherhood of Mutants felt a pang of worry for Syd.
What preparations did they have to make this woman so confident?
They believed Irina wasn't foolish and wouldn't underestimate the power of the Messiah.
At Stark Tower.
Tony Stark had just recovered from Irina's news bombardment when he heard Jarvis's voice.
"Sir, you have a call."
Tony Stark was puzzled. He glanced at the phone but decided to ignore it.
After a while, when Tony didn't answer, Jarvis's voice sounded again.
"Sir, my program has been altered."
Then, the voice of a middle-aged man came through.
"Mr. Stark, I need to speak with you." It was S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson.
Tony Stark sighed, picked up the phone, and quickly said, "This is, um... Agent Coulson, please be brief. I'm busy."
Soon, Agent Coulson arrived via elevator.
He raised his hand and handed Tony Stark a file.
Tony didn't take it and casually said, "I don't like people handing me things."
Coulson, exasperated, remembered Tony Stark's peculiar habit.
After placing the file on the table, Tony Stark began to flip through it.
"And this is..." he asked as he read.
"Mr. Stark, these are some materials on the Sentinel robots. The Director hopes you can join the project to help us perfect them," Coulson explained.
Putting the file down, Tony Stark impatiently said, "Hey, Agent, why should I help you?"
He knew what the Sentinels were and always thought they were too dangerous.
Coulson corrected him, "Mr. Stark, this isn't helping me; it's helping S.H.I.E.L.D."
"I'll be frank, Mr. Stark, that mutant Messiah is too dangerous. We need your help to perfect the Sentinels so we can deal with him."
Tony frowned and said, "He's just a kid. Maybe there's still room for negotiation. Are you sure this is necessary?"
Honestly, he was reluctant to develop dangerous weapons to target a kid.
To him, the Messiah was still a child. Everyone had their youthful indiscretions, and perhaps destroying a city wasn't his intention. From his usual behavior, he didn't seem like a mass murderer.
If not for Coulson and others pushing him, that child might not have done such a thing.
Coulson, frustrated, said, "Mr. Stark, he's no longer a child. Have you ever seen a child destroy a city?"
"The power he holds is too dangerous. If not dealt with in time, it could lead to greater disasters..."
They talked for a long time, but in the end, Tony didn't agree to join the project. However, he had his own plan.
He decided to visit the child soon to see if there was a chance for reconciliation.
While Tony and Agent Coulson talked and various factions took action, Syd was utterly baffled.
Standing in a hidden corner, watching the broadcast on the big screen in the square, he was completely dumbfounded.
He could only say...
Who can understand this? After waking up, he suddenly had twelve apostles and a bunch of followers out of nowhere. Who understands?
Syd was speechless.
He was still here, yet everywhere people were talking about him recruiting disciples, having twelve apostles, and guardian knights.
Watching Irina's broadcast, his mouth twitched non-stop.
"Who is this person?"
At that moment, the broadcast showed the Messiah giving a speech on a high platform.
Syd looked at the person from different angles but couldn't see any difference in appearance.
"Is it Mystique?"
From his memory, the only one who could mimic a person so perfectly was Mystique.
But then he thought it might not be her.
"And these twelve apostles..."
Syd curiously observed the so-called apostles and couldn't help but admire the imposter's ability to recruit people.
After watching the entire broadcast, he pondered.
Eventually, he decided to find out who this imposter was.
He went to a secluded alley and waited for a while. After dealing with a group of armed robbers, he obtained some cash.
Quickly, he used the money to get a map.
In the next moment, he took off, flying swiftly towards his target.
Unlike before, this time he flew at an incredible speed, leaving only a shadow visible to the naked eye.
It was the newly unlocked floating flight!
[Floating Flight experience +1]
Feeling the wind, Syd couldn't help but marvel at the speed of floating flight. It was much faster than using chaotic magic.
Of course, it was still slower than the supersonic speed of Mjolnir.
However, floating flight was only at level four. As his fastest-growing ability, it would likely match or surpass Mjolnir's speed at level five!
Thinking of Mjolnir, Syd recalled Thor. He wondered when Thor would reappear.
While heading towards his destination, preparing to see the commotion, the mutated tiger Cannonball also noticed the news about him and happily set off to find its master.
Not only it, but the X-Men and Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants also began to take action.
