Chapter 231

The battle just now proved that my strength still wasn't enough; otherwise, I wouldn't have been so bothered by those missiles.

For example, if my speed were ten times the speed of sound instead of seven, I would have been confident in easily destroying that base, and the missiles wouldn't have affected me, avoiding such an embarrassing situation.

Furthermore, it's obvious that next time the military's weapons will be even more advanced and harder to deal with.

If I don't improve my abilities, facing them with my current strength could lead to trouble...

While thinking about this, Syd absorbed more photon energy, turning his attention to the panel in front of him.

Unlock Progress: 74%

"At 75% or 80%, I should be able to awaken the next ability..." he thought, glancing at his recently depleted energy points with a sense of regret.

Currently, the sunlight wasn't even enough to fully replenish his photon energy, let alone gather more energy points.

Time passed quickly, and soon the sun began to set.

...

A new day arrived with the morning sun shining down.

By this time, Syd's photon energy had fully recovered. Just as he was about to pause his other ability training to collect some energy points and push Baldur's unlock progress to 75%, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the quiet alley.

Syd frowned slightly.

Seeing this, he prepared to go invisible and leave the area.

But just as he was about to activate his invisibility, a familiar voice made him pause.

Logan?

He heard a conversation not far away.

"Cyclops, did you find him yet?"

"No?"

Listening to the conversation, Syd had a hunch.

"Are they looking for me?"

Syd pondered for a moment, hesitating.

After a brief moment of indecision, he decided to stop activating his invisibility and see if Wolverine had something important to say.

After all, it had been a long time since he last saw Logan, ever since that experimental base sent people after him...

With that in mind, he took a step toward the source of the voices.

On the other side, Logan looked frustrated, listening to Cyclops and Storm over his headset, both reporting they hadn't found the Messiah.

They had spent all afternoon and night searching every corner of the city, but still hadn't found any trace of the Messiah...

He couldn't help but wonder if the Messiah had already left the city...

Thinking about it, Logan's face turned solemn.

The situation for mutants had been getting worse lately, with the Sentinels relentlessly hunting them. He couldn't shake the feeling of powerlessness.

Other than the Messiah and the White Knight, no one could stop the Sentinels...

As Logan pondered this, he sighed deeply.

He was almost convinced that the Messiah had truly left the city. Otherwise, how could they have searched the entire place without finding him?

Logan's expression grew even more downcast.

But just as he was about to accept this reality, footsteps suddenly echoed from a dark corner nearby.

Logan immediately tensed up and instinctively turned his head.

The next second, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Out from the shadows walked a young man dressed in black, carrying a black backpack.

Since Syd was showing his face this time, Logan could clearly see the changes.

For a moment, Logan was dazed, almost thinking he was looking at a god.

The young man's face was strikingly handsome, flawless to the point of not seeming human.

If not for the familiar hints in his face, Logan might have thought he had the wrong person.

This was the Messiah?

How had he changed so much?

Noticing the surprise in Logan's eyes, Syd wasn't surprised.

After the transformation of his divine body, divine power of light, and divinity, his appearance had indeed changed significantly, growing more handsome, almost approaching that of a god.

There was even an aura about him that made people reluctant to look directly at him.

"Messiah... Syd, is that you?" Logan hesitated.

Syd nodded and asked, "What's going on?"

He had some guesses but wanted to confirm.

Before Logan could respond, a voice came through his headset.

"Logan, what's happening?"

"Did you find the Messiah?"

Storm and Cyclops anxiously asked through Logan's headset.

"Yes, I found the Messiah!"

As soon as he said that, both Storm and Cyclops were in disbelief and shock.

They had actually found him?

They quickly asked for Logan's location and hurried over.

Soon, Storm and Cyclops arrived at the secluded alley one after another.

It was really the Messiah!

Looking at the boy standing quietly in the distance, his appearance almost divine, both Storm and Cyclops were filled with joy and astonishment.

At the same time, they felt a bit at a loss, unsure how to approach the terrifying Omega-level mutant before them.

Especially Cyclops, whose feelings were incredibly conflicted.

On one hand, they needed the Messiah's help, but on the other, it was suspected that this boy had killed Jean...

In this situation, Cyclops' emotions were naturally all over the place.

With no one speaking, an awkward silence filled the air.

Finally, Syd broke the silence.

"Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

Hearing his question, the three of them finally calmed down.

"Syd..."

Logan began to explain.

It didn't take long for Syd to understand the situation.

"Sentinels, huh..."

He frowned.

He knew all about those machines hunting mutants. Not long ago, he had scoured a whole city for Sentinels and destroyed every single one of them.

As a result, no more Sentinels dared to enter that city, and it became one of the safest places for mutants.

Faced with Logan's plea for help, Syd hesitated, thinking it over.

He didn't mind destroying more Sentinels, as it would certainly cause trouble for those responsible.

Moreover, Logan and the others knew the locations of some military bases...

After a moment of thought, he nodded.

Seeing the Messiah agree, Storm and the others were overjoyed.

They quickly relayed the news to Professor X, who was both shocked and puzzled.

An Omega-level mutant...

What kind of person was this Messiah?

Mystery always seemed to surround him...

Not just Professor X, but the rest of the mutants at the X-Mansion, including Beast, were equally perplexed.
