Starting as a Class Five Mutant

The sight before them was simply absurd. Storm and the others nearly had their eyes pop out of their sockets.

Was this real?

Catching a Sentinel's laser with his bare hands—this had to be a joke, right?

Even Magneto and Professor X were utterly floored.

Previously, they could attribute Messiah's resilience to his extraordinary powers. But now, seeing him block a laser with his palm… they realized something.

Even if Messiah stood perfectly still, the Sentinels couldn't harm him under normal circumstances.

What kind of absurd strength was this?

Even Magneto and Professor X, seasoned veterans, could only stare in astonishment.

The Sentinel continued its futile attack, but Syd had clearly grown impatient.

With a casual swing of the Spirit Beam, the Sentinel was instantly sliced in half.

Not just that one—every remaining Sentinel, even those flying in from a distance, was cleaved in two by a few effortless swings.

And then…

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Several transport pods carrying Sentinels were also bisected in the blink of an eye, crashing to the ground with resounding thuds.

After eliminating these nuisances, Syd finally deactivated the Spirit Beam and lowered his hand.

He glanced into the distance, noticing a fleet of transport pods approaching in a surrounding formation from ten kilometers away.

He spared them only a brief look before dismissing them from his mind. They were merely more flies to swat away when they arrived.

While Syd regarded the approaching Sentinels with indifference, Magneto and the others were overwhelmed with emotion.

Flight, the black wave, defense, the blue beam, a body seemingly made of steel…

How many abilities did this man have?

"No wonder they call him an Omega mutant. He's a monster!"

Sunspot murmured in awe.

Unlike before, this time, he truly believed that this floating figure—this Messiah, as Kitty had called him—was a monster.

With these abilities combined, he was utterly invincible.

Perfectly invincible, with no apparent weaknesses.

Roberto couldn't imagine how anyone could take him down, short of overwhelming him through sheer numbers.

"This is the ultimate mutant… No wonder he's called an Omega. Only someone like him deserves the title, with such overwhelming power..."

Roberto sighed. "He's like a comic book superhero, suffocatingly oppressive."

"Not just invincible—he seems to have no weaknesses!"

Even the proud Magneto had to admit that the young man in the distance was an enigma, far beyond his comprehension. A mutant among mutants.

Nearby, Logan silently agreed.

Meanwhile, Syd, hearing them compare him to a superhero, felt no particular emotion. He knew of DC Comics, and even suspected certain connections between their world and this one. It was ridiculous, but not worth dwelling on.

With the immediate threat of the Sentinels resolved, Roberto and the others gathered around Logan.

"This… Messiah?"

"That's such a unique name…"

"Where did you find him? We didn't know another Omega mutant existed in the world."

Logan explained briefly, "I brought him from the past…"

Hearing his story, Roberto and the others were stunned.

The past?

Messiah? The White Warrior?

"Two Omega mutants existed in the past? That's incredible!"

"Were all the mutants that strong back then?"

As the approaching transport pods drew closer, Syd interrupted, "I'll handle those."

With that, he flew off toward the distant pods.

Roberto opened his mouth, intending to suggest they work together, but quickly shut it as he reconsidered.

With the brief lull, Kitty seemed to recall something, her expression turning contemplative.

"Have you noticed something strange?" she asked.

"Strange?" Logan and the others looked at her in confusion.

"The Sentinels didn't copy any of his abilities," Kitty said. "There's no sign they even tried."

Logan and the others were taken aback.

Thinking back, they realized she was right. The Sentinels hadn't displayed any ability duplication.

After some discussion, they reached two possible conclusions.

Either Messiah's abilities were so unique that the Sentinels couldn't replicate them, or his Omega-level mutation made his genes too complex for the Sentinels to analyze.

Curious, Storm turned to Logan. "Do you know how he ended up in our future?"

All eyes turned to Logan.

"Uh… not really," Logan admitted. "Messiah said he knew what this place was like, and then he just came here…"

The more they learned about Messiah, the more mysterious he seemed.

Before long, their attention was drawn to the sky.

The black transport pods were now clearly visible, rapidly closing the distance.

Below the pods, Sentinels were being deployed in waves.

In mere moments, the sky was filled with hundreds—no, thousands—of Sentinels.

The sheer scale of the swarm left everyone in stunned silence.

Thousands of Sentinels—had they stumbled into a Sentinel hive?

"How are we supposed to fight this?"

"This… is impossible to overcome!"

Fear and dread crept over them.

Even though Messiah was an Omega mutant, impossibly strong and nearly invincible, this was too much. He couldn't possibly take on thousands of Sentinels without succumbing to exhaustion.

Kitty's face turned pale, and Roberto clenched his teeth.

Magneto and Professor X exchanged glances, both seeing the despair in the other's eyes.

With so many Sentinels mobilized, it seemed their fate was sealed.

Logan, too, sensed the hopelessness of their situation.

Looking at Magneto, Professor X, and the distant figure of Messiah standing alone against the oncoming swarm, Logan hesitated before finally speaking.

"Professor… there's something I need to tell you. A secret."

"A secret?"

Professor X and Magneto looked at him, bewildered.

In this moment of crisis, what could possibly be worth revealing now?
