[Starting as a Class 5 Mutant] Chapter 394/395
🕑 Added 2025-01-20 16:00:08 +0000 UTCIt wasn't just Scott, whose eyes were filled with confusion. Nearby, even Professor X and the others appeared equally puzzled.
"Messiah? How do we get to that place?!"
For a moment, the concept of Messiah became even more enigmatic in their minds, as if it was an unsolvable riddle.
While they were lost in thought, Syd teleported to the forest within the X-Mansion and stopped in his tracks.
In the next second, he activated the portal magic he had learned from Kamar-Taj.
In the blink of an eye, golden sparks flared beneath his feet.
In the future.
Professor X, Magneto, and Kitty Pryde looked up in shock as a circular portal of golden sparks suddenly appeared on the ceiling.
At that moment, they saw a shadowy figure dressed in black descend slowly through the glowing portal.
"Who are you?!"
Magneto exclaimed, his voice filled with alarm as he gazed at the mysterious figure floating mid-air in black attire.
Even the elderly Professor X, seated in his wheelchair, had a face full of vigilance.
Syd scanned the group calmly and said, "Logan asked me to come and help. You can confirm with him."
Hearing this, Professor X and the others froze momentarily.
"Logan?"
"Someone he asked for help?"
The group exchanged incredulous looks.
What does that mean?
As they remained bewildered, Syd neutralized the crimson glow of chaos magic and used it to remove Kitty Pryde's hands, which had been focusing her powers on Logan.
In an instant, the influence she had been exerting on Wolverine disappeared.
"What are you doing?!"
As they prepared to react, Logan, who was in another timeline, suddenly felt a wave of dizziness due to the disruption of Kitty's power.
"Logan, are you okay?"
He faintly heard concerned voices.
When Logan regained his senses, he realized he was lying back on the stone slab in the future timeline. His mind raced with confusion.
What happened? Did Kitty lose her grip?
Hearing a voice questioning him, Logan instinctively sat up, scanning his surroundings. Then, his eyes froze on a particular spot, his jaw dropping.
His gaze darted between the hovering Messiah and the familiar faces of Professor X and Magneto, finally confirming that he was back in the right place.
"How did you get here?" Logan asked in astonishment.
Hearing Logan's shout, Magneto paused his aggressive stance. Together with Professor X and the others, he turned to look at Logan.
"Logan, do you know him?" Professor X asked, puzzled.
Under everyone's gaze, Logan nodded and explained, "He's someone I invited to help!"
"Kitty's powers malfunctioned and sent me to the wrong…"
Logan then detailed how he had accidentally been sent to an alternate past due to the mix-up, explaining everything to the team.
Listening to him, Professor X and the others were initially stunned before their expressions turned to despair.
If they couldn't change the past, did that mean the current dire situation was hopeless?
Seeing their faces fall, Logan quickly pointed at Syd and added, "That past wasn't entirely the same as ours. For one, there's this Messiah and another guy called the White-Clad Hero."
"He's here to help us."
Hearing Logan repeat this, Magneto and Professor X still looked doubtful.
How could one person, no matter how strong, solve this?
With so many Sentinels outside, how could they possibly stand a chance?
As these thoughts clouded their minds, Logan grinned and added, "Don't underestimate him. He's an Omega-level mutant!"
The words hit like a bombshell, causing everyone, including Professor X, to react in shock.
"Omega-level mutant? Logan, are you serious?" Magneto asked, his voice filled with disbelief.
Everyone's gaze turned toward Syd, who floated silently in his black attire, exuding a mysterious aura. They all understood the implications of being an Omega-level mutant, particularly Professor X, who knew this better than anyone. The sheer potential was astounding.
Looking at their shocked faces, Logan smiled inwardly.
"So, they're just as stunned as I was."
Glancing at Professor X and Magneto, Logan couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
"If they knew this Messiah was their child from another timeline, what kind of expressions would they have?"
The thought amused him endlessly, almost compelling him to reveal the truth right then and there.
Breaking the tension, Kitty Pryde hesitated and asked, "Omega-level mutants are indeed powerful… but can he really handle so many Sentinels out there?"
Her voice trembled slightly, reflecting the fragile hope she clung to.
Hearing her concerns, the others, including Professor X, looked toward Syd with the same apprehension.
Under their gaze, Syd extended his senses outward and said calmly, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Because I sense someone outside struggling to hold off the Sentinels. They're about to die."
Logan's eyes lit up with hope.
They're still alive?
He had assumed Blink and the others were likely dead by now, having sacrificed themselves to slow the Sentinels' advance.
"Quick, let's go help them!" Professor X urged anxiously, attempting to move his wheelchair.
Magneto stepped forward and pushed Professor X's chair, heading outside at once. Syd floated silently behind them.
Seeing his effortless hovering, Kitty Pryde couldn't help but glance at him in awe and ask curiously, "What's your Omega-level ability?"
"Why are you classified as an Omega mutant?"
Not only Kitty, but Logan, Magneto, and even Professor X shared her curiosity.
Before Syd could answer, they emerged into the open, greeted by a grim sight.
The sky was dark and heavy, devoid of sunlight, shrouding the world in eerie gloom. Snowflakes drifted down from the heavens, painting the bleak battlefield white.
(End of Chapter)
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.
[Black Particle Experience +1]
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.
[Black Particle Experience +1]
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.
