Starting as a Class Five Mutant

In the distance, on top of ancient ruins, Sunspot, Blink, Storm, and others were desperately using their abilities to slow the advancing Sentinel robots, trying to buy Logan as much time as possible.

However, both Professor X and Syd could see clearly—they were on the brink of exhaustion, and casualties were imminent.

Faced with Sentinels that could adapt their abilities to counter them and outnumber them significantly, it was evident to everyone that their efforts were futile, serving only to delay the inevitable.

"Professor, why are you out here?"

From afar, Sunspot, his body blazing like molten lava and glowing fiery red, noticed them and shouted in shock.

Hearing him, the other fighters, including Storm, instinctively glanced over, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Watch out!" Kitty Pryde suddenly cried out in alarm.

A towering black Sentinel robot took advantage of Sunspot's distraction, closing in on him.

Sunspot quickly turned and unleashed a massive column of fire from his hands, engulfing the approaching Sentinel in an instant.

But under everyone's gaze, the Sentinel merely stepped back two paces. Its shimmering, scale-like body transformed rapidly, adopting a diamond-like texture.

As diamond has a melting point near 4,000 degrees, Sunspot's flames were ineffective in the short term. The Sentinel pushed forward steadily, as if mocking his efforts.

At that moment, another Sentinel charged toward him. Sunspot was forced to redirect his firepower.

Boom!

A massive column of fire erupted again.

However, to everyone's despair, the second Sentinel transformed its body into a rocky texture, resembling a stone golem, rendering Sunspot's flames useless.

With the diamond-textured Sentinel and the rock-bodied one advancing simultaneously, Sunspot began to panic, overwhelmed by a sense of doom.

Storm and the others watching from afar, as well as Professor X and Logan, felt the same hopelessness.

How could anyone endure this?

They had witnessed the terrifying adaptability of the Sentinels. It was only a matter of time before everyone met the same fate.

Even Logan, who rarely felt despair, clenched his fists in helpless frustration.

Just as the two Sentinels were about to eliminate Sunspot, a figure floated down between them.

His sudden appearance shocked not only Storm and the others but also caused the Sentinels to pause momentarily.

Hovering in the air, the man in black calmly raised his right hand.

With a casual motion, Syd unleashed a stream of black particles.

A streak of black energy surged from his hand at supersonic speed, striking the diamond-textured Sentinel below.

In an instant, the Sentinel, unable to evade, was split cleanly in two from head to toe by the black wave.

With two heavy thuds, the lifeless halves of the Sentinel collapsed to the ground, unmoving.

The sight left everyone stunned.

"It only took one hit?!"

"It didn't even have time to react?"

Even more shocking was that the diamond-hard body offered no resistance. The black wave had sliced through it effortlessly, without leaving the faintest trace of obstruction.

The second Sentinel, now in its rocky form, quickly adapted, transforming into a silvery steel humanoid.

Syd glanced at it indifferently and pointed again.

Boom!

Another streak of black energy shot out, destroying the steel-bodied Sentinel just as easily as the first. It crumbled to pieces instantly.

"So this is the Messiah's Omega-level mutant ability?" Kitty Pryde murmured in awe. "It's incredibly powerful!"

Professor X and the others nodded in agreement. They knew how durable the steel form was, yet this mysterious black power had erased it without effort.

The realization dawned upon them: no matter how the Sentinels adapted, Syd's power could destroy them as long as they were hit.

Sunspot, still catching his breath, overheard Kitty's remark and exclaimed, "Omega-level mutant?"

Hearing this, Storm and the others, though exhausted, felt their spirits lift.

"An Omega-level mutant?!"

Their eyes lit up with newfound hope.

"No wonder he's so strong!"

Even against these terrifying Sentinels, he could stand his ground.

As they thought about it, hope began to bloom in their hearts.

Perhaps, with this Omega-level mutant's immense power, they had a chance to survive. As long as they could protect him and give him opportunities to unleash his attacks, the Sentinels might be dealt with.

Just as their hopes began to rise, the remaining Sentinels all paused in unison. Then, as one, they lifted their heads, their foreheads opening to reveal fiery red glows.

"This isn't good!"

Before anyone could react, beams of red light began gathering within the Sentinels' heads, clearly preparing to fire.

[Rebound Shield Experience +1]

Realizing the imminent danger, everyone, including Professor X, felt a surge of panic and despair.

Boom!

The beams of fiery energy shot forth, converging on Syd.

In an instant, his figure was engulfed in the searing lasers.

Seeing this, everyone froze in despair.

Had their last hope just vanished?

With the appearance of this Omega-level mutant, they had dared to dream of survival.

But now, was that hope nothing more than an illusion?

Logan, Professor X, Magneto, Storm, and the others could only watch helplessly, overwhelmed by hopelessness.
