In the shabby house, Apocalypse squinted his eyes and secretly used his abilities, attempting to invade this person's mind with Professor X's powers.

However, Syd was prepared. His eyes glowed red as he used his considerable psychic strength to forcefully break free from the mental link, causing Apocalypse to lose his target.

But in the final moment, he heard a voice resonate in his mind.

"I will find you..."

Hearing this voice, Syd frowned.

In the old wooden house, both Professor X and Apocalypse were left guessing about the powerful psychic presence that had intruded.

Although their perception was a bit fuzzy, they still vaguely sensed the intruder's strength.

"An Omega mutant?" Apocalypse squinted.

Whether or not the intruder was an Omega mutant, such a powerful individual could not remain unknown. They would inevitably meet again.

Thinking this, he glanced down at Professor X.

As long as he could obtain this man's abilities, he would possess even greater power, unafraid even of Omega mutants.

Even now, with his numerous abilities, he did not fear Omega mutants.

Looking at Professor X, Apocalypse said, "Let's continue."

Soon, after a moment of silence, Professor X's voice once again echoed in everyone's minds.

Apocalypse spoke slowly, "The purpose of conveying this message is simple: to tell the strongest among you, those with great power, that this world is about to belong to you."

Originally repeating Apocalypse's words verbatim, Professor X suddenly altered the last sentence.

"...those with great power, protect those around you. This is what I want to tell you!"

Hmm? Apocalypse's eyes returned to their normal color as he cut off the enhancement and looked at Professor X with a displeased expression.

As Professor X finished speaking, reactions varied worldwide.

At S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury's expression grew serious as he gripped his pager, contemplating whether to summon Captain Marvel to confront this ancient mutant.

Thinking it over, Nick Fury sighed, "Mutants are truly dangerous."

First the Messiah, then the White Clothed Freak, and now this ancient mutant. Each one stronger than the last...

Elsewhere, the X-Men, in the midst of their mission, also heard the message.

Recognizing Professor X's voice, they knew time was of the essence and quickened their pace.

Before long, at the Brotherhood of Mutants' base, a black jet landed.

Sensing the commotion, Magneto, Mystique, and others emerged.

Seeing the familiar jet and the descending Scott and others, Magneto frowned, "You guys again? What do you want, and what was that voice? It must have been Charles. What is he up to?"

Facing him, Scott stepped forward sincerely, "Magneto, we need your help..."

He then briefly explained the situation with Apocalypse and Professor X's kidnapping.

Hearing this, Magneto's face darkened.

Although he often clashed with Charles, he didn't want anyone else to harm him.

Of course, he simply didn't want Charles to die. After some thought, he agreed to join Scott and the others in their fight against Apocalypse.

The group boarded the jet, heading for Cairo, Egypt.

Meanwhile, Agent Coulson, using S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technology, intelligence, and special tools, located the Messiah's region.

Soon, Syd saw a group of black-clad agents holding signs on the street.

Scanning the signs, which mentioned needing his help against Apocalypse, Syd frowned and pondered for a moment before stepping out of a secluded corner.

Dressed in a suit, middle-aged with a slight baldness, Agent Coulson paced anxiously nearby.

"Is the Messiah not in this area?" he felt increasingly worried.

Just then, a black-clad figure emerging caught his attention.

In an instant, he recognized him.

"Messiah!"

Ignoring the agents' attempts to stop him, Coulson ran to Syd.

"Messiah, we need your help. Could you..."

He spoke nervously, unsure if the Messiah would agree. Standing beside such a formidable figure, he wasn't as calm as he appeared. Cold sweat dotted his forehead as he felt the pressure.

Syd, aware of what he wanted, contemplated.

If Apocalypse hadn't declared he would find him, he might have ignored him for a while. But now...

After a moment of thought, to Coulson and the other agents' surprise, he nodded in agreement.

"Alright, lead the way. I need to meet Apocalypse anyway," he said expressionlessly.

Coulson, thrilled, hurriedly led him to a waiting helicopter.

Seeing his slow pace, Syd frowned and said, "Coulson, right? No need for the helicopter. Just point me to Cairo, Egypt."

Huh? Coulson, startled, instinctively pulled out a device, checked the satellite map, and pointed left.

In the next second, Syd effortlessly grabbed Coulson by the collar and floated into the air.

With a swoosh, they sped toward Cairo.

Feeling the wind rush past, Coulson was inwardly shocked.

Watching the rapidly receding scenery, he murmured, "So this is the Messiah's speed... It's incredible..."

Seeing it in a video was nothing compared to experiencing it firsthand. This was much faster than a helicopter.

If only he knew that Syd could fly even faster, breaking the sound barrier, if not for his concern about Coulson's well-being, who knows what he'd think.

In Cairo, Egypt.

Apocalypse stood with Professor X on a high vantage point, overlooking the capital below.

"What are you planning?" Professor X felt a bad premonition.

"You'll know soon enough," Apocalypse glanced at him, saying indifferently.

In the next second, he raised his hands, aiming at the distant city.
