What?
Everyone was stunned.
Initially confused by the Messiah's strange behavior, they were further baffled by the mutant tiger's claim that it sensed the Messiah's presence nearby.
The mutant tiger carefully sensed again and then directed its gaze toward a specific direction.
"Master, you must be here!" the tiger exclaimed excitedly.
Following its gaze, everyone instinctively made way, creating a large open space.
Seeing this, Syd, hiding behind a building, shook his head and slowly stepped out.
Dressed in his black attire, fluttering in the wind, his mysterious figure came into view.
Recognizing the familiar face of the young man, they were taken aback.
Another Messiah?
At this moment,
"Yes, I'm a fake, an impostor!"
"Don't kill me!"
The injured 'Messiah' hastily confessed.
As he spoke, his body shimmered and transformed into a middle-aged man right before everyone's astonished eyes.
"I used my illusion ability to disguise myself as Messiah. Initially, I just wanted to make some money, but I…"
The middle-aged man, Emin, explained with a bitter smile.
The remaining disciples and the crowd were both shocked and furious.
They had been fooled by a charlatan?
Just then,
"How do we know you're not fake too!"
Alessandro's voice came through the transmitter.
Suddenly, a silver Sentinel robot moved swiftly toward Syd, the real Messiah.
It raised its massive right hand, clenched into a fist, and swung at Syd with a powerful whoosh.
Seeing this, the audience's eyes filled with anticipation.
This time, they didn't immediately believe this was the real Messiah.
Even the remaining disciples and Tony Stark shared similar thoughts, expecting to see Messiah being punched and sent flying, bleeding.
As the fist approached, Syd frowned and instinctively raised his right hand to block.

Their clash created the sound of shattering glass!
Everyone saw the young man lightly raise his right hand, and with a bang, the Sentinel robot was flung away like an annoying piece of trash.
With a loud crash, the Sentinel robot hit the ground, creating several cracks in the surface.
Tony and the others looked over to see the Sentinel robot, its steel arm deformed and covered in large gashes from glass shards.
It was clear that the Sentinel had suffered significant damage from a single blow.
"This…"
Everyone was astonished.
One blow had severely damaged a Sentinel robot?
The twelve disciples together couldn't take down a single one, and now it was easily handled?
Wasn't he supposed to be sent flying by the Sentinel's punch?
"Is he the real Messiah?!"
Slowly realizing this, they were struck by a wave of pressure.
Regardless of their previous doubts, facing the real Messiah confirmed their fears.
After all, this was the one who destroyed a city, the rumored Omega-level mutant!
Even among millions of viewers, Tony and others felt the weight of this realization.
At this moment,
"Hahaha, you're the real one!"
Alessandro and Dr. Bolivar, controlling the Sentinels, weren't disappointed by the failure. Instead, they seemed even more excited, possibly emboldened by defeating the fake Messiah.
The remaining eight Sentinels and one barely functioning Sentinel flew up, surrounding the black-clad Syd.
Syd frowned and, under everyone's gaze, slowly ascended into the air.
A haunting, ethereal tune began to play, and an invisible aura emanated from him.
Floating, mysterious, ethereal…
He appeared almost god-like…
"This kid…" Tony was taken aback.
Even with prior expectations, witnessing it firsthand gave him a unique feeling.
No wonder this one was called Messiah; even an impostor could gather many followers. It made sense.
At that moment, Tony felt like he was looking at a god.
The others who witnessed this shared similar feelings.
However, seeing him face off against the Sentinels, they were uncertain who would win.
Even Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto had their doubts.
The Sentinel's previous display of abilities was indeed terrifying.
At this moment,
The Sentinels attacked.
One Sentinel turned invisible, disappearing as if becoming air, likely preparing for a covert strike.
Another transformed into a stone-like state and charged.
Others opened their heads, glowing yellow-red, ready to fire lasers.
To everyone's surprise, one Sentinel vanished from its spot in a flash.
Seeing this familiar scene, Syd's eyes widened in surprise.
"Teleportation?"
"How is this possible…"
No time to ponder, he disappeared from his position, sensing no danger.
[Teleportation Experience +1]
Sure enough!
Behind him, a Sentinel's right hand, shaped like a spear, pierced through where he had just stood.
If he hadn't teleported away, he would've been skewered!
At this moment,
"Syd, finish them quickly. The longer this drags on, the more dangerous it becomes!"
"And for some reason, my danger sense is acting up, sometimes working, sometimes not. It's strange…"
Venom urged anxiously.
Without Venom's reminder, Syd already sensed something was wrong.
"That Sentinel just copied my teleportation?"
Syd's heart grew heavy.
[Rebound Shield experience +1]
He raised his hand, blocking several incoming laser beams.
Though doubting the Sentinels could easily copy his abilities, he decided not to delay any longer.
The next moment, Syd made his move.
