Wellington and his group finally understood why the Sentinels were staring at the mysterious figure and didn't dare to attack earlier.
It wasn't a malfunction after all…
At that moment, Wellington and his group were completely shocked.
"It's Messiah?!"
Looking at the distant figure of the mysterious young man in black, they couldn't believe it.
Messiah had appeared here?!
No wonder the Sentinels had behaved so strangely!
In addition to this, they were equally stunned by Messiah's power.
The three Sentinels, which had nearly killed them and left them powerless, were equally helpless in the face of Messiah.
It was as if he was casually strolling through the park, effortlessly squashing three bugs.
For a while, the four were filled with awe.
Only when they saw Messiah turning to leave did they dare to step forward.
They hurried over and lifted their unconscious companion, who had been struck by the Sentinels and had the mutant power inhibitor collar placed on him.
During the battle, Syd had deliberately avoided attacking him, or the four of them would have been left with nothing but a corpse.
"Wally, wake up…"
Wellington shook his unconscious friend.
"Ugh…"
Soon, the young man named Wally woke up.
"Where am I? Did you guys get caught too?" Wally asked in horror.
Wellington and the other three shook their heads.
"No, we were saved!"
"What?"
Wally was stunned, not understanding what had happened.
Saved? From those powerful Sentinels?
For a moment, Wally found it hard to believe.
"It was Messiah. He saved us!" Graf pointed to the distant figure.
Wally instinctively turned his head and saw the mysterious figure in black walking away.
"Messiah?" Wally muttered in shock.
At this point, Wellington and the others excitedly started talking.
"Wally, you have no idea how incredible Messiah is! He wiped out those three Sentinels in the blink of an eye!"
Wally was left speechless.
In the blink of an eye? That's an exaggeration, right?
As he listened to their recounting of the events and looked at the distant figure, Wally's heart was filled with admiration, awe, and a deep sense of reverence.
While they were discussing, Syd had already approached Logan and the others.
Before they could say anything, Syd spoke first, "Dealing with them one by one is too slow. I'll go handle this myself."
With that, his body lifted off the ground, and under the astonished gazes of Logan and the others, he flew into the distance.
Watching Messiah's figure disappear, Logan and the others opened their mouths but could only smile bitterly in the end.
Indeed, if Messiah worked alone, he could probably clear out the Sentinels much faster without them slowing him down...
Recalling what they had just witnessed, they couldn't help but feel a mixture of helplessness, amazement, and even a bit of frustration.
They were all mutants, yet the gap between them and Messiah was this vast...
While Logan and the others were feeling disheartened, Iceman and the other students, who had been secretly observing, were excitedly discussing what had just happened, exclaiming in awe.
As everyone's emotions fluctuated, Syd had flown several kilometers away, skillfully scanning the area below.
Swoosh
Syd increased his speed to seven times the speed of sound, quickly flying over the city.
In no time, the sound of wind roared through the city.
People walking on the streets or eating heard the noise.
Some were puzzled, while others caught a glimpse of a figure flashing across the sky.
"Who was that?"
"Is someone flying?"
"Wait, could that have been Messiah?"
Some thought the fleeting shadow looked familiar and were left in shock.
Before long, they got their answer.
Every time Syd spotted a Sentinel robot, he stopped briefly to destroy it, then took off again, leaving behind a sonic boom.
Although he didn't linger long, it was enough for those paying attention to recognize who he was and even capture footage of him.
As Messiah destroyed more and more Sentinels, more people became aware of his actions.
Ordinary people were terrified, while mutants were thrilled and grateful.
Soon, this story made the headlines.
Once again, Messiah's figure appeared before the public.
Seeing Messiah destroy Sentinel robots with ease, countless people were left in shock and fear.
At the experimental base:
"Damn that Messiah!"
"My Sentinels..." Commander Alessandro gritted his teeth, while Dr. Bolivar was heartbroken.
"Messiah, your arrogance won't last long!" Commander Alessandro seethed with hatred.
Over time, the base had accumulated over a thousand Sentinels. If they deployed them all at once in waves, avoiding being wiped out in one go by Messiah...
In that scenario, they didn't believe Messiah would be unscathed!
Furthermore, the longer they delayed, the more Sentinels they could amass, increasing the likelihood of Messiah's defeat.
"In a little while, when we have more Sentinels…" Commander Alessandro sneered.
As for now, he would let Messiah enjoy his brief moment of triumph.
With that in mind, he immediately ordered all Sentinels in the city to withdraw.
Swoosh
Syd was speeding through the air.
Soon, he noticed the strange movements of the Sentinels.
Were they retreating?
In the next second, he caught up with several Sentinels, his hands glowing blue.

Boom—one by one, the Sentinels were destroyed.
Then, with a flash, he flew around the outskirts of the city.
Sentinels attempting to retreat were quickly caught and wiped out in an instant.
The more Syd cleared them out, the better he felt.
Although these Sentinels were no real threat, it was still satisfying to mess with those responsible.
Indeed, back at the mysterious base, Commander Alessandro and Dr. Bolivar were seething with rage, wishing they could tear him apart.
If looks could kill, Syd would have died countless times by now.
But, in the face of Syd's power, without proper preparation, they could do nothing but seethe in impotent rage.
Soon, aside from a few Sentinels that had hidden or managed to slip away unnoticed, most of the Sentinels in the city had been wiped out.
The entire process took less than an hour.
With the job done, Syd flew back toward where Logan and the others were waiting.
Before long, he arrived and saw Logan, Storm, and Cyclops talking with Iceman and the rescued mutants.
