Syd's expression shifted slightly.
Instinctively, he activated his Space Transfer ability.
[Space Transfer Experience +1]
In an instant, his figure vanished from the spot and reappeared ten meters away.
He then blinked and used Space Transfer again.
A surge of danger hit him.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion erupted, with a heatwave sweeping over him.
[Deflection Shield Experience +1]
[Deflection Shield Experience +1]...
"Is that a bomb?"
Seeing the flames and heatwaves approaching from a distance, Syd swiftly cast a Level 4 Deflection Shield in front of him.
As he completed the shield, the explosion engulfed him in an instant.
Within moments, the shockwave spread over 800 meters, destroying everything in its path.
Plants and animals were obliterated, and the ground was torn up several layers.
Meanwhile, far from the explosion, at a military base, a group of American soldiers and equipment operators watched the explosion unfold on their screens with keen interest.
General Lucas praised one of the soldiers beside him, saying, "Leonard, you've done well."
The praised soldier, dressed in a military uniform and exuding a strong, imposing presence, was none other than the man who had appeared beside Syd earlier.
Clearly, Leonard had teleported back immediately after transporting Syd to the wasteland.
In response to General Lucas's compliment, Leonard humbly deflected the praise.
Looking at the explosion on the screen that had spread over hundreds of meters and engulfed the Messiah, Leonard felt a sense of pride and believed that the target was definitely dead.
The explosion's radius was so vast that the Messiah couldn't possibly escape. With such a powerful blast, even an Omega mutant would be doomed!
Moreover, the explosive yield had been meticulously calculated.
It was far more powerful than the missiles the Messiah had endured last time!
According to the staff's calculations, the Messiah was undoubtedly dead!
This value had surpassed his limit of resistance!
"Disgusting mutants, even if he's an Omega mutant, he'll still die under our technological means!"
"No matter how strong you are, you're still just flesh and blood. Let's see how you withstand this explosion…"
The military personnel in the room wore smiles, discussing eagerly and watching the screen with anticipation, as if they had already seen the Messiah's obliterated corpse.
As several generals and dozens of officers discussed and watched, Irina, who had recently started her program and created suspense, now switched the footage to the explosion scene.
Looking at the explosion spreading hundreds of meters, countless viewers watching the live broadcast showed expressions of shock and disbelief.
"What is this?"
"An explosion?"
"Why did Irina switch to this footage?"
As ordinary people and even some superheroes and villains watching the broadcast felt confused, Irina cheerfully explained, "This explosion was designed by the military."
"The one at the center of the explosion is the Omega mutant Messiah!"
"With such a large radius, even if the Messiah is an Omega mutant, he should be finished. Hehe!"
Hearing Irina's cheerful explanation, countless people were enlightened and perked up, eagerly watching the explosion footage.
Is the Messiah finally dead?
Many who feared mutants thought this with a sense of grim satisfaction.
Stark Tower
About an hour earlier, having received a preview of Irina's broadcast, Iron Man Tony Stark, who had tuned in out of curiosity, was instantly alarmed.
In an instant, he felt disdain and disapproval for the military's actions.
What kind of despicable methods were they using to deal with a young mutant like the Messiah?
Watching the explosion spread over 800 meters, even Tony Stark wasn't sure if the Messiah could survive.
Even if he was an Omega mutant, facing such a terrifying explosion head-on...
Based on the data from the last missile the Messiah endured...
Tony Stark sighed.
At this moment, besides Tony Stark, Captain America and others, as well as Magneto Erik and Professor X Charles, were also watching Irina's broadcast.
Captain America and others had complex expressions.
Magneto Erik and Professor X Charles, compared to Captain America and the others, were on the brink of anxiety.
As the world's only two Omega mutants, the most powerful mutants, they didn't want to see the Messiah's death.
Besides their concern for mutants, they also had personal feelings and didn't want the Messiah to die just like that.
For some inexplicable reason, they had a special fondness for the Messiah.
Raven Darkholme (Mystique), Logan (Wolverine), and many others were also watching the broadcast, each with a sense of foreboding.
Will the Messiah...
Kamar-Taj
Since the incident with the White-clad Hero, the sorcerers such as Kaecilius had been closely watching the Omega mutants. They now looked on with regret.
"This young man, called the Omega mutant along with the White-clad Hero, is about to die?"
Kaecilius and the others shook their heads.
It seemed that there was a difference even among Omega mutants. This Messiah was not as strong as the White-clad Hero.
The White-clad Hero who sought the Cosmic Cube seemed much stronger.
As they thought this, the remnants of the explosion gradually dispersed, and the dust settled.
The scene at the explosion's center slowly came into view.
Noticing this, Irina, with her fiery red lips, smirked and said, "This scene is the…"
Before she could finish her sentence, the explosion's aftermath revealed a surprising scene that left her speechless.
In the midst of the several hundred-meter-wide crater, everything was destroyed except for one figure.
A person in black attire floated in the air, completely unharmed. Not a single part of their clothing was damaged.
The Messiah had withstood such a terrifying explosion?
Not even a shred of clothing was lost?
"Ah!"
Irina screamed, unable to believe her eyes.
Not only her, but the officers and soldiers in the mysterious military base, who had been eagerly awaiting the sight of the Messiah's annihilation, were now in disbelief.
"This is impossible. How could the Messiah survive such a massive explosion?"
"Even if he's an Omega mutant, he's still just flesh and blood…"
