Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Under the watchful eyes of Professor X, his team, and the remaining humans around the world, icy blue, yellow, and crimson energy beams hurtled forward. Yet, no matter how fiercely they attacked, the invisible shield before Syd remained unbroken.

The Sentinel mother unit, both shocked and puzzled, exclaimed, "How can you possess such powerful psychic strength?"

This ambush had been meticulously calculated. In its assessment, this Omega mutant was powerful but not invincible. If caught off guard, the Sentinel could teleport in close and use psychic control to restrain him momentarily. Combined with its triple energy attack, even an Omega mutant should have been doomed!

Given its immense size, its attacks were leagues beyond those of ordinary Sentinels.

But this… what was happening?!

Not only was the psychic strength it sensed from him terrifying, but its three-pronged assault had been effortlessly blocked!

"Even Omega mutants shouldn't be this strong!"

While maintaining its attacks, the mother unit's composure cracked, and it shouted, "How is your psychic strength this powerful?"

"Do you have no weaknesses?!"

It was incredulous.

The Sentinel mother unit was on the verge of a breakdown, questioning whether it or the world itself was malfunctioning. How else could such an absurd mutant exist?

Attack, defense, speed, psychic power—there were no gaps!

An all-around mutant?

Could such an outlandish existence be real?!

It even started to suspect something horrifying and shouted in desperation, "Don't tell me you also have regenerative abilities?!"

Syd raised an eyebrow in mild surprise.

This Sentinel mother unit was quite sharp.

Though he didn't possess dedicated regenerative abilities, his Level 5 divine body inherently came with powerful self-healing.

In a sense, the Sentinel's guess wasn't far off.

While Syd said nothing, the mother unit's attempts at psychic probing picked up traces of his surprise.

That emotion of surprise...

The Sentinel mother unit was utterly broken.

How could it even fight this? Surrender seemed like the only option.

What's more, it had discovered it couldn't replicate Syd's abilities at all!

Despite all this time, it hadn't managed to copy a single thing.

Was his genetic structure too complex?!

The Sentinel mother unit was on the verge of collapse.

Who was the real Sentinel here—him or it?

Just as it began to panic, it hurriedly said, "I surre—"

Before it could finish, Syd, uninterested in its pleas, activated Sunshine.

In an instant, the platinum radiance engulfed everything within a 2,300-kilometer radius!

Faced with this overwhelming attack, the mother unit couldn't even attempt to escape.

"Stop!"

It screamed in panic, its form flickering with a kaleidoscope of colors.

But no matter what defensive measures it tried, none were effective against the terrifying light.

Under its shock and disbelief, the massive figure began to disintegrate like a shadow in sunlight.

"My regenerative repairs…"

"Why aren't they working?!"

The Sentinel mother unit radiated intense psychic waves of confusion and resentment.

The next moment, it vanished into the light of Sunshine, along with the countless ordinary Sentinels around it.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was empty save for Syd, clad in black.

The elimination of the Sentinel mother unit didn't surprise Syd.

Even if this mother unit was somewhat special—perhaps a Nimrod-level Sentinel—it was meaningless against Level 5 Sunshine.

As the sunlight illuminated him from above, his body seemed to glow.

Witnessing all this, Professor X, his team, and the remaining humans across the globe were left in stunned silence.

The final Sentinel mother unit… was gone?

Not to mention the innumerable Sentinels it had commanded, that colossal mother unit had possessed multiple mutant abilities.

Yet it still lost?!

Messiah—how was this mutant any different from a god?

At Professor X's location, Storm remarked with a sigh, "Professor, I think you and Magneto should consider trying to create another Messiah."

"He's utterly terrifying..."

Her words left Logan and the others stifling laughter, while Professor X and Magneto's faces darkened.

Meanwhile, on-site:

Syd stood in contemplation.

Although the Sentinel mother unit and nearly all the Sentinels had been destroyed, doubts lingered in his mind.

How had this mother unit come to be?

Could there be others like it?

Syd recalled how, in one alternate timeline, a Bastion-class Sentinel had wiped out all mutants in its world. Driven by its directive to eradicate mutants, it even crossed into the prime universe to continue its mission.

Could the events here be linked to such a Bastion-class Sentinel?

After pondering for a moment and failing to reach a conclusion, Syd decided it wasn't worth overthinking. The immediate Sentinel threat had been neutralized, and any remaining stragglers posed no real danger.

With that, he activated the Space Stone. A flash of blue light enveloped him, and he reappeared near Professor X and the others.

The moment they saw him, they were visibly shaken.

Before anyone could speak, Syd paused briefly, then used telepathy to communicate with Venom.

"Can you split off some offspring?"

"I can. Why?" Venom asked curiously, unsure of Syd's intentions.

"Split some off for them. Once I'm gone, they'll need protection from any remaining Sentinels." Syd explained.

"Oh, got it." Venom hesitated briefly, then agreed with a nod.

Indeed, these humans were far too weak. Without Syd, they'd likely perish.

As Venom split off small offspring, he boasted, "Thanks to you, Syd, my strength has increased tremendously. Even my offspring—no exaggeration—could easily resist a single Sentinel robot!"

With that, small dark masses, tinged with streaks of white and gold, wriggled out from Syd's right hand.

Each one was about the size of an egg, emanating faint waves of psychic consciousness.

Whether by design or chance, these offspring seemed to lack high intelligence.

"What are these things?!"

Storm and the others were astonished by the sight.

Syd replied calmly, "They are Venom—a type of symbiote. They can enhance your strength. Whether or not you bond with them is up to you."
