The viewers momentarily stopped their insults, their spirits lifting.

At that moment, they heard another piece of good news from Irina.

"To make up for the previous delay, this time, the capture operation will be broadcasted live nationwide. Everyone can see the entire capture process."

Of course, Irina didn't mention that this live broadcast was the government's attempt to restore its lost credibility, reassert its authority before the public, and demonstrate its power as a warning to some. This led to the live broadcast capture.

The viewers didn't know or care about this. Hearing her announcement, they immediately stopped their complaints.

"Really?"

"Where? Start it now!"

"Hurry up!"

Knowing the audience's eagerness, Irina didn't make them wait long. She quickly switched to the live feed.

At the same time, several American TV stations also began broadcasting the live footage in real time.

On the grassy field of a stadium, countless viewers saw nearly a hundred black, unknown humanoid figures standing in rows, creating an eerie sight.

"What are these?"

"Robots?"

"Oh my God..."

In the shocked eyes of hundreds of thousands of viewers, the black humanoid figures took off, flying uniformly in one direction.

The viewers' perspective followed them, keeping steady behind the flying black humanoid figures.

Meanwhile, Irina's voiceover began.

"Hello, viewers. Let me introduce these black figures. They are actually robots, the government's secret Sentinel robots."

"They are the ultimate weapon against mutants but harmless to humans, so there's no need to worry."

"Now, they are heading to find our target. With them, the mutant boy won't escape. You can be assured of that."

Listening to Irina, the viewers were not immediately convinced, remaining skeptical.

"Can these black lumps really capture that boy?"

"Don't let this be another failed operation!"

It was as if the broadcast knew their thoughts. They soon witnessed the power of the Sentinel robots.

One of the black Sentinels seemed to detect something and flew downwards.

The live camera zoomed in, and the viewers saw the black Sentinel flying towards a bearded man in the middle of a robbery.

"Shit, what are you?" Omar, in his thirties, looked shocked.

Before he could react, the black figure punched him.

Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of viewers, Omar's body turned to rock.

Boom!

He punched the Sentinel, which caught his fist with its right hand.

The next second, a shocking scene unfolded. As the Sentinel caught his fist, its body transformed, becoming rocky like Omar's.

In Omar's stunned state, the Sentinel robot exerted force with its right hand, not only copying his ability but also overpowering him, pinning him down.

Then, the Sentinel knocked him out with a punch.

It placed a mutant inhibitor on him, a device that suppressed his powers, preventing him from using any abilities, similar to a pulse disruptor.

Ignoring the unconscious Omar, the Sentinel reverted to black and flew away.

Irina's cheerful voice echoed in the surprised viewers' ears.

"As you can see, these Sentinel robots can copy mutants' abilities. With them, mutants are no longer a threat!"

Her words left the hundreds of thousands of viewers in shock.

"Copy abilities?"

"So strong, these are Sentinel robots?"

After the initial shock, some viewers started feeling schadenfreude.

"The mutant boy won't escape now!"

Knowing the Sentinels' abilities, there was no longer any doubt. With these robots, the mutant boy had no chance.

In full view, the Sentinels rapidly approached their target.

In a remote suburban area.

[Floating Flight Experience +1]

[Photon Energy +1]

Syd was gathering photon energy when Venom warned him.

"Syd, run! I sense danger approaching!"

Venom's small head emerged, his expression grave.

Syd frowned, looking towards the distant sky.

He saw a swarm of black dots rapidly approaching.

As they got closer, Syd recognized them, his expression changing drastically.

"We can't escape."

Syd sighed, responding to Venom.

He knew the Sentinels' capabilities, aware that they could detect mutants within a certain range.

Even if he used spatial transfer to a hidden place, they would likely find him without issue.

The black Sentinels flew closer, surrounding him.

Nearly a hundred Sentinels floated in the air, staring coldly at him.

"Ha, he's doomed!"

"God bless him. Just watching this is scary."

Seeing the black-clad boy surrounded, the viewers felt a mix of pity and excitement.

In the eyes of countless spectators, Syd slowly floated up, facing the surrounding Sentinels.

"Sentinel robots, huh?"

Syd's voice echoed around, startling Alessandro and Dr. Bolivar, who were secretly monitoring.

How does he know?

The viewers were also confused.

These black Sentinels were just released. How did this mutant recognize them so early?

Ignoring their confusion, Syd's aura rose, accompanied by a strange melody.

Glancing at the encirclement, Syd flew upwards.

The Sentinels' heads opened, and nearly a hundred massive laser beams shot towards him, as if predicting his flight path.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound of lasers cutting through the air echoed.

[Rebound Shield Experience +1]

Syd quickly created a rebound shield in front of him.

Fortunately, he had flown in one direction. Otherwise, he would face lasers from all sides, and one shield wouldn't suffice, consuming more energy.

"Syd, dodge!" Venom urgently warned.

Using his flight speed, Syd dodged from his original position.

The next second, he witnessed an astonishing scene. The previously unbreakable rebound shield was scattered by the Sentinels' combined laser beams!

If he hadn't dodged, he would have been vaporized.

Suddenly, Syd felt the void around him filled with stored laser energy.

Testing it, he realized he could release it. He raised his hand.

"Take this!"

Boom!
