Chapter 225

[500PS REACHED!! Next Goal: 1000PS!]

[Reviews: 115/120]

Of course, the reason they were so shocked and incredulous was mainly that their calculations showed that the blast's power far exceeded Messiah's limits!

In other words, Messiah should not have been able to withstand it!

The scene before them was completely different from what they had calculated!

You must know, last time when Messiah was chased and bombarded by missiles, he ended up covered in soot, his clothes in tatters, looking extremely ragged, as if he could barely hold on.

If not for him retreating into the city in the end, perhaps...

Now, this explosion covering more than 800 meters caused destruction far beyond the repeated missile bombardments last time.

Yet Messiah, not only was he not covered in soot or with tattered clothes, but his clothing wasn't even damaged?!

The difference between this time and last time was enormous.

The dozens of military officers and a few generals were in disbelief.

What on earth was going on?!

As they were doubting what they saw, Messiah quietly hovering in the air also astonished Tony Stark at Stark Tower.

What was happening?

Seeing Messiah unscathed was completely beyond his expectations.

According to his calculations, Messiah shouldn't have been able to endure this explosion.

If Messiah had disappeared from the center of the explosion by teleporting away, he wouldn't have been as surprised. But now, it was evident that Messiah had endured the explosion head-on...

This was entirely different from what he had thought. Even if Messiah had managed to escape, he would have been gravely injured, perhaps even near death.

"Shit…" Tony Stark was stunned.

Besides him, the other Avengers watching Irina's broadcast were similarly shocked.

Magneto and Professor X breathed a sigh of relief before expressing their amazement.

Unscathed?

The two of them marveled.

...

Kamar-Taj.

Kaecilius and the other sorcerers were in shock.

This Messiah, he was completely unharmed?

Was this the power of the other Omega-level mutant?

No wonder this young man was also called an Omega-level mutant. This power was indeed impressive, they thought.

At this moment, countless viewers watching the broadcast felt their initial excitement vanish, replaced by a stunned expression.

The explosion, which looked terrifying to them, had been blocked just like that?

They were both shocked and confused, soon giving way to anger.

"Irina, is this the surprise you promised us?"

"How do you explain this? Didn't you say Messiah should be dead by now?"

"Irina, you garbage!"

After the shock wore off, viewers vented their anger at Irina.

Of course, Irina was aware of the audience's anger, and quickly reassured them, "Don't worry, my dear viewers, the military's preparations are far from over!"

After she said that, Tony and the others, as well as the viewers, showed surprise and confusion.

Were there more preparations?

The next second, they saw Irina smile and say, "Does everyone remember the last time Messiah was bombarded by missiles?"

The audience was taken aback.

Of course, they were familiar with that incident. It was one of the rare moments when Messiah had looked so pathetic, and they had never seen him in such dire straits before.

Irina continued smiling, "Last time, Messiah endured it. This time, he definitely won't. We've arranged a large number of missiles, far more than last time, enough to destroy him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her words were immediately validated.

Almost as soon as Messiah was seen unscathed, numerous white missiles flew from the distance.

Densely packed and continuous, they extended far beyond the horizon.

Seeing this, the viewers felt a renewed sense of excitement, while Charles Xavier and others felt their hearts sink.

What worried them even more was Irina's further comment, delivered with a smile, "And this time, considering the failure last time, there are some differences in the missiles."

"Not only are they more powerful, but they also hit their target at much faster speeds—almost six times the speed of sound—much faster than the missiles used last time!"

"With such high-speed missiles, Messiah cannot possibly escape. Only one outcome awaits him..."

Irina spoke confidently, her face full of assurance.

Hearing this, the viewers' eyes lit up.

"Six times the speed of sound?"

"My god, Messiah is definitely finished!"

"At such a speed, who could possibly dodge?"

"This time, Messiah is really done for, haha..."

The viewers were in an uproar, marveling at the missile's speed.

At this moment, in Stark Tower, Tony Stark sighed.

Though the missile speed Irina mentioned wasn't anything unimaginable, he knew Messiah's flight speed very well—he had even calculated it multiple times.

As Irina said, Messiah wouldn't be able to dodge...

Of course, that wasn't to say Messiah's speed was lacking. To achieve the speed of sound as a biological entity had already astonished Tony Stark and shaken his understanding of physics.

It was just that, in terms of speed, technology held the advantage. How could flesh and blood outpace steel machinery?

As he thought about it, Tony's feelings became conflicted.

He knew that Messiah might not be able to survive this time.

The location was clearly a wasteland, far from any city. The military had clearly planned this well...

While Tony remained silent, Captain America and the others reached similar conclusions, feeling deeply conflicted.

...

Brotherhood of Mutants.

Magneto Erik's face changed dramatically, and he sat upright.

X-Mansion.

Charles' expression shifted, becoming resolute.

He immediately asked Scott, who was beside him, to take him to the Cerebro chamber.

This was something he shouldn't do, but to save Messiah's life, he had no choice but to use Cerebro to attempt to control the thoughts of those military personnel and stop them from launching more missiles.

Even if doing so later led to retaliation against mutants, or even if the military would try to eliminate him, he had to act. He had to stop the military from killing Messiah.

It wasn't just because Messiah represented something significant among mutants, but also because, in his heart, Charles didn't want this young man to die.

"Sigh, I hope I make it in time..."

Looking at the live broadcast, Professor X was filled with concern.

Beside him, Logan and others were also nervous as they surrounded Charles and headed towards the Cerebro chamber.

Meanwhile, at Kamar-Taj, Kaecilius and the other sorcerers sighed.

It seemed that of the only two Omega-level mutants, one was about to die.
