Starting as a Class Five Mutant

"Is this Messiah's doing?"

As Professor X and his team hacked into the satellite feed, their eyes widened in shock.

Watching the areas suddenly light up on the satellite images, with entire swathes of Sentinel robots disappearing, Storm and the others wondered if they were hallucinating.

"Charles, how large is this area?" Magneto gestured at one of the illuminated regions on the satellite feed, his face full of doubt and uncertainty.

Hearing this, everyone instinctively looked at Professor X.

After a brief calculation, Professor X hesitated and replied, "It should be over two thousand kilometers—roughly about one thousand four hundred miles…"

As his words fell, Logan and the others widened their eyes in disbelief. Pointing at the glowing area on the satellite, their expressions were filled with shock as if they'd misheard.

"How much?" Wolverine scratched his ear and asked, "Professor, are you sure you didn't add an extra zero?"

Storm and the others nodded instinctively, sharing his sentiment.

Professor X recalculated several times, shaking his head firmly. "No mistake."

Hearing this, Logan and the others were left utterly stunned, their mouths agape.

Messiah could illuminate an area over two thousand kilometers in size?

What kind of immense power was this?

They had already tried to estimate Messiah's strength conservatively, but even their wildest guesses had fallen short.

"Is that kid even human?" Logan muttered reflexively.

"Are Omega mutants this terrifying?" Roberto murmured with mixed emotions. "We don't even seem like the same species."

Watching the vast glowing regions captured by the satellite, they felt as though they were witnessing a myth come to life.

The word "shock" wasn't enough to describe their current emotions.

And to think this terrifying Messiah was supposedly the child of both Professor X and Magneto? Storm and the others found it utterly unbelievable.

While their thoughts were complicated, Syd—who had been clearing vast regions with repeated flashes of Sunshine—noticed something unusual.

"The Sentinels seem to be retreating?"

Syd realized they appeared to be converging in a specific direction.

Of course, due to the sheer speed of his cleansing, combined with the immense 2,300-kilometer range of Sunshine, many Sentinels didn't even have time to retreat.

Unless they were very far away.

"As expected, someone—or something—is controlling them…" He frowned, deep in thought. "A person, or…"

Syd recalled that in scenarios without human intervention, batches of Sentinel robots were usually controlled by a mother Sentinel.

These Sentinels might also be under the control of such a mother unit.

Whether it was a person or a Sentinel mother unit, he would have to investigate further to confirm.

"It's almost over…" Syd murmured.

With the current range of Sunshine, sweeping through every country wouldn't take long.

In the next moment, he vanished from where he stood, reappearing thousands of kilometers away.

Then, the radiance of Sunshine lit up once more.

Time passed quickly.

At incredible speed, Syd swept through country after country.

Survivors in each nation gave him different titles, but most of them referred to him as a god.

Eventually, Syd noticed that many areas were devoid of Sentinels. They seemed to have retreated to a specific location.

Without dwelling on it, he swiftly flew toward that destination.

Boom!

Before long, Syd arrived at the final location where the Sentinels had gathered.

Raising his gaze, he saw countless Sentinels in the air, densely packed like black raindrops, filling the sky. Even watching through satellite images, Professor X and the others felt a heavy pressure.

At the same time, the remaining humans around the world focused their attention on the situation.

Through satellite feeds, they saw a massive Sentinel, towering like a mountain, step forward from the swarm.

The gigantic Sentinel raised its head, its mechanical gaze locking onto the black-clad figure floating in the air. Under the astonished eyes of Professor X and the others, it spoke in a cold mechanical voice, "Are you also a mutant? An Omega mutant from the legends?"

"Omega mutants... I only read about them in files. I didn't think they actually existed…"

While the massive Sentinel sounded incredulous, Logan and the others were utterly shocked by its words.

This Sentinel had intelligence?!

Floating midair, Syd gazed at the towering Sentinel without much surprise.

Sentinels developing intelligence wasn't unheard of.

At that moment, the colossal Sentinel said, "I don't want to fight you. I can give you half the world."

Glancing at the swarm of Sentinels around them, it smiled coldly. "I'm not like them. I'm not so easy to deal with. Even for you…"

Pausing, its tone brimmed with confidence.

Hearing this, Professor X and the others showed concern, while the remaining humans displayed a mix of emotions—some gleeful, others anxious or hopeful.

Syd raised an eyebrow at its words but said nothing. His response was a radiant spiritual energy pillar.

A massive blue spiritual energy pillar, hundreds of meters long, appeared in his hand.

Gripping it tightly, Syd swung it toward the towering Sentinel in front of him.

With a tearing sound, the Sentinel's left arm was instantly severed.

Boom!

The arm crashed heavily to the ground.

Then, to the shock of Professor X and the others, and even Syd's mild surprise, the severed arm rose back up in the next moment.

Almost instantly, the cut reconnected seamlessly, as if nothing had happened.

"Omega mutant!" The massive Sentinel mother unit chuckled coldly. "If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

With those words, Syd was slightly taken aback as the Sentinel mother unit vanished and reappeared beside him in an instant.

It unleashed a flurry of attacks—a blast of icy mist from its mouth, a yellow laser from its left hand, and a fiery red beam from its right hand.

Simultaneously, Syd felt a psychic force attempting to assault his mind.

Unfortunately for the Sentinel, under the protection of Chaos Magic and his divine powers, Syd's spiritual and mental strength had reached unfathomable levels, completely impervious to such attacks.

"Multiple mutant abilities?"

While raising his right hand to cast a reflective shield, Syd mused in slight surprise.
