บท 234: Chapter 234
"Are the Sentinel robots malfunctioning or something? Why are they just staring at a man in black without making any moves, as if they're not planning to attack first?"
This strange and eerie scene left Wellington and his group both bewildered and confused.
What was happening?
While they were lost in thought, an alarm suddenly blared inside a nearby experimental base.
The sound immediately caught the attention of the workers monitoring the Sentinels.
"An alert has been triggered?"
"What's going on?"
In front of several surveillance screens sat two men dressed in blue uniforms.
These men were responsible for overseeing the Sentinel robots, each of which had surveillance cameras installed to transmit real-time footage back to them.
They continuously scanned the surveillance screens, and if they noticed anything unusual, they would immediately report it to their superiors.
However, sometimes they would miss certain anomalies because it was impossible to monitor all the screens at once.
For this reason, the Sentinels were programmed to trigger an alert if something serious happened, like damage to the robots.
Upon hearing the alarm, their first thought was that one of the Sentinels had encountered an issue or even been destroyed.
With this in mind, Sheriff, a tall, thin, balding middle-aged man, looked surprised and remarked, "Has another powerful mutant appeared?"
The other man, a young man in his twenties named Klaus, looked shocked and asked, "Is that mutant really strong enough to destroy a Sentinel robot?"
Since the start of the operation to capture mutants, they had only heard this alarm a few times.
And now, another one had gone off?
Was this new mutant really that powerful?
The two were filled with both surprise and confusion.
Thinking about it, they immediately searched for the surveillance feed that had triggered the alarm.
Just as they were curious about what the powerful mutant looked like, their expressions suddenly froze, their eyes widening in horror.
On the screen appeared a mysterious figure dressed in black.
At first, they thought it was just another strong mutant, but after taking a closer look, they couldn't hide their fear.
This mysterious figure was all too familiar to them, familiar enough to leave a psychological shadow.
"Me-Messiah?"
"Am I seeing things?"
"How could it be him!"
Sheriff and Klaus were filled with disbelief.
Messiah was different from other mutants. If it were any other mutant, even those strong enough to destroy individual Sentinels, they would remain unfazed and even evaluate the situation calmly.
They had seen so many mutants that they had grown used to looking down on them with a sense of superiority, whether they were ordinary or powerful enough to destroy Sentinels.
But upon seeing Messiah, that sense of superiority and arrogance vanished instantly, replaced by shock and terror.
An Omega-level mutant!
Shocked and terrified, they quickly notified their superiors.
Soon, Alessandro and Dr. Bolivar were alerted and rushed over.
"Messiah has been spotted?"
"Where is he?"
Following Sheriff's prompt, Base Commander Alessandro and Dr. Bolivar quickly looked at the surveillance footage of Messiah.
It really was Messiah!
In an instant, both men felt a sense of dread.
"How long has this standoff been going on?" Alessandro asked, staring at the monitor.
Sheriff hesitated, asking, "Sir, are you asking how long the standoff has lasted?"
Alessandro nodded.
Thinking for a moment, Sheriff replied, "About two or three minutes, I think?"
Upon hearing this, Alessandro and Dr. Bolivar, who had been filled with dread, suddenly had their eyes light up.
If they had been wary of Messiah before and thought the three Sentinel robots were doomed, now they felt a surge of anticipation.
According to the Sentinels' programming, when encountering Omega-level mutants like Messiah or the White Knight, in addition to triggering alerts, the robots would also enter a defensive mode, adopting a delaying tactic.
As long as the Omega-level mutants didn't attack first, the Sentinels wouldn't initiate combat either. Instead, they would use the time to fully replicate the Omega-level abilities!
If the Sentinels had enough time to copy Omega-level powers, then even Messiah and the White Knight would fall!
"It seems Messiah's arrogance has gotten the better of him. He didn't learn from his previous encounter, so let's show him the power of the Sentinels this time!" Alessandro and Dr. Bolivar sneered, recalling the time when a fake Messiah had appeared and the Sentinels had successfully copied his abilities.
At that moment, they could almost picture Messiah being defeated and killed by his own powers.
While Alessandro, Sheriff, and the others looked on with anticipation, the scene at the location was quite different.
Syd, looking at the three Sentinel robots in the distance, raised an eyebrow.
The reason he hadn't attacked yet was to test a theory.
After waiting for some time and seeing that the Sentinels still hadn't replicated anything, Syd quickly grew impatient.
The next second, he continued walking toward the Sentinels.
At the same time, a car pulled up in the distance, and Iceman, along with the other mutant students, stepped out.
As soon as they arrived, they saw Messiah walking toward the Sentinel robots.
Seeing this, Shadowcat, Iceman, and the other mutant students all felt a sense of tension.
Would Messiah be able to win?
Even though the Omega-level mutant Messiah was incredibly strong in their minds, the fear the Sentinels instilled in them was still overwhelming. No one wasn't afraid of them.
On the other side, Logan, Storm, and Cyclops shared similar concerns.
At that moment, as Syd approached, the three Sentinel robots finally reacted.
In an instant, one of the Sentinels' black bodies shifted, transforming into a fiery red, as if it were made of molten lava.
The next second, a thick column of fire shot out, rushing toward Syd.
At the same time, another Sentinel's body began to crystallize, and a layer of crystal appeared on Syd's body.
It was clear this was the ability of a mutant with crystallization powers.
