Their outfits were so familiar that Syd didn't even know what to say. The guy in black was dressed almost exactly like him at the moment, while the one in white was nearly identical to his other persona.

"Is it a trend now to dress like me?" Syd muttered to himself in exasperation.

At that moment, the two young men in their twenties who were running away noticed the person dressed similarly to them.

"Friend, run!"

"It's a Sentinel robot!"

With just a glance, Dario and Fer recognized who the distant figure was supposed to be.

Apparently, it was another person cosplaying as Messiah, just like them.

If there was one person who had become the most popular in recent times, it was undoubtedly Messiah and White Knight, the two Omega mutants! Countless mutants, including the two of them, idolized and admired these figures.

Because of this, the attire of Messiah and White Knight had become immensely popular.

At some point, people started appearing on the streets dressed as Messiah and White Knight.

At first, some citizens were frightened and reported sightings of Messiah. When government officials investigated, they discovered it was a false alarm—the person cosplaying as Messiah was just an ordinary citizen.

Indeed, even ordinary people, and not a small number of them, were dressing up as Messiah, with many of them being children.

Due to these ordinary cosplayers, government officials were overwhelmed and eventually chose to ignore such reports. This emboldened Dario and Fer to wear the Messiah and White Knight costumes outside.

However, they hadn't expected the government to deploy Sentinel robots so soon to hunt them down…

Hence, the current scene: the two of them fleeing while a Sentinel robot chased after them.

At that moment, seeing the person dressed exactly like them, Dario and Fer didn't need to think—they knew it was another cosplayer.

If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be an issue, but if it were a mutant…

So they shouted out a warning, hoping the cosplayer would be cautious and, if they were a mutant, smart enough to escape quickly.

But just moments after they shouted, their hearts sank as the worst-case scenario unfolded.

The Sentinel robot chasing them paused and turned to look at the person dressed as Messiah.

In an instant, Dario and Fer deduced what had happened.

Clearly, the Sentinel had detected another mutant! Because the Sentinel robot did not react to ordinary people, it wouldn't have stopped to observe unless it detected a mutant.

If it did react to ordinary people, the group of spectators who had been following and watching from a distance wouldn't still be there so calmly.

"Friend, run!" Dario, cosplaying Messiah, shouted.

After shouting, he immediately turned and charged at the Sentinel, intending to distract it and give the other person time to escape.

Sensing him approaching, the Sentinel's yellow eyes focused on him.

The next second, its head opened, firing a laser beam at him.

However, although the laser beam hit Dario, it passed right through him.

Boom! The laser beam struck the ground, sending fragments flying.

Watching from the side, Fer breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "Luckily, Dario's phasing ability still works…"

If not for Dario's ability to phase through all matter and energy, unaffected by the Sentinel robot's powers, they might have already been caught by now.

That's why Fer had shouted earlier for Dario to run and leave him behind, as Dario's ability made him almost untouchable by the Sentinel.

Seeing the laser beam ineffective, the Sentinel ignored Dario, turning its attention to Fer and Syd.

Scanning Fer, who was standing close to Dario, the Sentinel's logic processed quickly before it focused on Syd.

The next second, it charged forward.

"Oh no…"

Dario and Fer's hearts sank.

"Don't just stand there, run!"

Seeing the cosplaying Messiah standing motionless, Dario and Fer grew anxious.

They wanted to stop the Sentinel, but lacking the ability to do so, they could only watch as the robot advanced, bracing themselves for a tragic scene.

For a moment, regret filled their eyes.

They shouldn't have led the Sentinel here. This way, their fellow mutant, who was cosplaying Messiah, wouldn't face such a tragic end.

Meanwhile, the distant crowd of spectators held their breath, anxiously awaiting the next moment.

Just as they were discussing how many moves the cosplaying Messiah could withstand, a dazzling blue light flashed.

In everyone's eyes, the Sentinel robot froze mid-action, unable to transform before being sliced in half.

With a crash, the Sentinel fell to the ground in two pieces, completely deactivated.

Dario, Fer, and the distant onlookers were all stunned.

The Sentinel robot was gone just like that?

Wasn't it supposed to overpower and crush the cosplayer? What just happened?! "That blue beam…"

At that moment, Dario and Fer exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock.

"Messiah?"

"Are you really Messiah?!"

They couldn't believe it—they had encountered the real Messiah.

Simultaneously, a wave of embarrassment washed over them.

Looking at their own outfits and then at the real Messiah's attire not far away, they felt awkward and didn't know what to say.

At the same time, admiration shone in their eyes.

"Messiah is indeed powerful. The Sentinel robot was like a toy…"

"Truly worthy of being an Omega mutant…"

While they were feeling embarrassed, delighted, and admiring, the distant spectators' expressions froze.

Clearly, after a brief moment of confusion and shock, they also recognized what that blue light meant.

"Me-Messiah?"

"My God, it's really him?"

They couldn't believe it either—they had encountered the real one.
