At almost the same moment, Storm's hands crackled with lightning, and a massive bolt shot towards Apocalypse. Cyclops pressed his visor, and twin red laser beams burst from his eyes. Chris emitted a red glow, and Wolverine extended his claws...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Metal, lightning, and lasers bombarded Apocalypse.

However, to the shock of the X-Men and the watching netizens, an invisible shield blocked all the attacks, remaining steadfast.

No matter how much power Magneto, Cyclops, and Storm unleashed, the shield showed no signs of breaking.

Standing within the shield, Apocalypse's expression remained calm, unfazed by their combined assault.

"Impossible!"

Magneto, Cyclops, and the others were astonished.

In this moment, they felt immense pressure and a sense of suffocation.

No one understood better than them the power they had unleashed, especially Magneto, a Level 4 mutant. Yet, even with their combined strength, they couldn't break the invisible shield?

The disparity in power was so vast it left them all in despair.

Not only were they shocked, but so were the spectators, including members of S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, and other organizations.

"Is that Magneto? Even he can't break this guy's shield?"

"The combined attack of these mutants is comparable to a continuous missile barrage, isn't it?"

"Apocalypse's defense seems even more terrifying than the Messiah's?"

Many people recalled the video of the Messiah being bombarded by missiles.

From the Messiah's previous display, he struggled against continuous missile attacks, often choosing to evade. Yet, Apocalypse could withstand it effortlessly?

"Does this mean Apocalypse might be stronger than the Messiah?"

Those who thought this felt a surge of shock and fear.

One minute...

Two minutes...

Gradually, Storm felt exhausted, and Cyclops' eyes began to ache.

Although his eyes connected to a mysterious particle space, allowing continuous laser emission, his eyes couldn't withstand prolonged use and started to hurt.

Instinctively, he closed his eyes, stopping the laser beams.

Storm also ceased her attacks.

Eventually, only Magneto continued controlling the metal barrage.

Occasionally, Wolverine swung his adamantium claws, attempting to cut through the shield.

But neither he nor anyone else could break the invisible barrier.

After some time, even Magneto had to pause to catch his breath, and silence fell over the scene.

Everyone was enveloped in silence and despair.

"Damn it!"

"How do we fight this?"

Wolverine was the first to lose his cool, cursing loudly.

Despite his outburst, it couldn't hide his panic and helplessness.

"So this is the difference between us..."

"Who would have thought there'd be such a powerful mutant, an all-powerful mutant at that..."

Hank murmured.

His words echoed the sentiments of Magneto, Professor X, and everyone watching through satellites.

Seeing them quiet down, Apocalypse smiled faintly, "Alright, children, just stay put."

He raised his right hand. In the next second, countless sand particles emerged, spreading over the desperate X-Men, quickly binding them and rendering them immobile.

Due to their exhaustion from using their powers, they couldn't break free from the sand's restraint.

Apocalypse had no intention of killing them outright. To prevent them from interfering, this was his way of dealing with them for now.

He then led Professor X, step by step, towards the pyramid.

Magneto and the others knew what he intended to do.

"It's over..."

They understood the consequences of Professor X losing his powers, more than anyone else. They also knew the terrifying potential of his abilities.

As they were at a loss, a mysterious ethereal music began to play.

Simultaneously, a satellite captured a figure swiftly approaching the pyramid.

"What is this?"

The divine and ethereal music grew clearer, and the rapidly approaching figure came into focus, revealing Syd, who had left Agent Coulson behind to fly at top speed.

Hmm? Apocalypse stopped and looked up.

He saw a handsome, mysterious young man in black, floating silently in the sky.

An aura of strangeness surrounded him, blending with the world, one with all things, appearing both godlike and omnipresent.

Compared to Apocalypse, who claimed to be a god with his blue skin, the appearance of Syd as the Messiah looked more divine to Magneto, and countless viewers.

No matter how many times they saw it, this feeling remained, leaving them in awe.

Below.

Listening to the mysterious, ethereal music, Magneto was surprised, "Did you guys actually bring the Messiah to help us?"

"We have no relation with the Messiah. Why would he help us?"

His words echoed the confusion and astonishment of Storm, Cyclops, and the others.

They hadn't expected the terrifying Messiah to actually come to help them. They initially thought Chris was just talking.

"Actually, the Messiah is..."

Facing their puzzled gazes, Chris hesitated, wanting to explain.

Seeing his hesitation, Magneto and the others grew even more confused.

At this moment.

"You are the Messiah?"

The rumored Omega mutant?

Apocalypse En Sabah Nur looked up at the floating youth with admiration.

Standing on the ground, looking up, and Syd Castell floating above, looking down, the atmosphere grew tense.

The netizens observing through satellites began to discuss.

"Gasp, it really is the Messiah!"

Despite their surprise, many shook their heads, doubting the Messiah's chances.

Although the Messiah's power was formidable, from the video of him resisting missiles, it seemed unlikely he could defeat Apocalypse.
