Starting as a Class Five Mutant

How did he do it?

At this moment, no one could fully process their emotions.

It wasn't just those present—across the globe, the remnants of humanity, still under the control of the Sentinels, were watching.

Professor X and Magneto, the polar opposites in the mutant struggle, had long symbolized the conflict's two sides. Now, with their fates seemingly sealed, how could the world not pay attention?

Cameras on the transport pods captured the events unfolding at the scene, leaving viewers frozen in shock.

Even those in the vicinity couldn't determine the extent of the sunlight. Entire cities were bathed in its brilliance, stretching far beyond what anyone could comprehend.

"This… How is this possible?"

"Is he even a mutant?!"

Across the globe, the remaining humans could only stare in disbelief.

For a fleeting moment, they felt the same fear they had known before the Sentinels arrived—a fear of mutants.

While humanity reeled, Syd remained calm. Having unleashed sunlight over a range of 1,200 kilometers, he cast an indifferent gaze at the incoming Sentinels, already initiating their assault.

Without hesitation, he activated his fourth-tier ability, Sunshine.

[Sunshine EXP +1]

In an instant, a platinum-white light radiated from Syd, intensifying the sunlight within a 200-kilometer radius.

The dazzling light merged with an unknown power, illuminating everything within its reach.

What happened next left Professor X, Magneto, and even humanity's remnants utterly stunned.

The Sentinels' fiery red lasers vanished the moment they encountered the radiant glow.

It was as if the light erased the lasers, like a pencil mark wiped clean by an eraser. The spectacle was both surreal and terrifying.

For less than a second, the radiant glow filled the area before fading, leaving everything seemingly normal once more.

The Sentinels, however, were frozen in mid-air, motionless.

"What's happening?"

"Why aren't they moving?"

Confusion rippled through both the observers on the battlefield and the humans watching from afar.

The answer came a moment later.

Fine dust began to drift from the Sentinels' bodies, their forms disintegrating into ash.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two thousand Sentinels dissolved into nothingness.

The battlefield fell silent, as did the scattered pockets of humanity across the world.

Two thousand Sentinels… gone in an instant?

"Is this a dream?"

"Is he really a mutant?!"

"Mutant? No… He's like a god!"

The sheer power displayed shattered their understanding. Compared to him, Professor X and Magneto were like insects—unworthy even of the title mutant.

The fear they felt now eclipsed anything the Sentinels had ever inspired.

While the remnants of humanity were overcome by fear, Syd remained unshaken. With the Space Stone and his fifth-tier divine abilities, a single second was all he needed to erase the Sentinels.

This efficiency was why he had deactivated Sunshine after such a brief display.

Far away, Professor X and the others, shielded from the sunlight by Syd's control, stood in stunned silence. Their wide-eyed expressions seemed as though their eyes might pop out of their sockets.

Was this real?

Could he really be a mutant?

Even Omega mutants should have limits. Facing thousands of Sentinels should have drained him to exhaustion, leading to inevitable defeat.

But what had just happened?

They understood the weight of being an Omega mutant, but this surpassed all expectations.

"This is what it truly means to be an Omega mutant?" Ororo, Storm, murmured in disbelief.

Now they realized how wrong their earlier assumptions had been.

They had thought Messiah's Superman-like powers were the reason he was considered an Omega mutant.

But compared to what they had just witnessed…

His current display was godlike.

Professor X, Charles, suddenly spoke, his voice faint. "He's so much like Jean… terrifyingly so."

"No… He's even more terrifying than Jean," he added.

Recalling the power of the Phoenix, Charles couldn't help but shudder. Even that paled in comparison to what Messiah had demonstrated.

What would happen if Messiah ever lost control? The thought alone was too dreadful to imagine.

"This child is called Messiah—the Savior?"

Charles was acutely aware of the dual meaning of the name. Messiah could mean Savior, but it also carried divine connotations.

Both interpretations felt fitting.

Messiah could save the world, but he could just as easily bring about its end. If he ever lost control, the apocalypse would surely follow.

As these thoughts swirled, Syd floated over to the group, his calm demeanor unchanged.

Bathed in sunlight, the young man's black-clad figure exuded an almost divine aura. The mere sight of him left everyone breathless.

To them, he now seemed less like a man and more like a god.

Noticing their expressions, Syd frowned slightly and shook his head. "I'm going to deal with the Sentinels farther away."

With that, he shot off into the distance, disappearing from sight.

The group finally snapped out of their daze, exchanging uneasy glances.

Logan broke the tension with a chuckle. "He's something else, huh? I was worried about how he'd handle this, but I guess that was pretty dumb of me."

His comment lightened the mood slightly.

Then Logan's expression shifted, as if remembering something. "Wait… Did we forget something? Messiah's… origins?"

"He… is your child, right?"

The reminder stunned the group all over again.

Magneto and Charles exchanged a look, both drawing a deep breath.

Magneto murmured, "We… have a child this powerful?"

"This Messiah… is really our son?"

As they recalled the earlier scenes of devastation, their shock deepened.

Storm and the others, too, struggled to process the revelation.

This extraordinary Omega mutant, Messiah, was the child of Professor X and Magneto?
