The four members of Wellington finally understood why the sentinel robots had been staring at Syd without daring to attack earlier. It wasn't due to a malfunction…
At this moment, Wellington and his companions were stunned.
"Is it really the Messiah?"
Looking at the mysterious figure in black from afar, they couldn't believe their eyes.
The Messiah had appeared here?! No wonder the sentinel robots had behaved so oddly!
In addition, they were equally shocked by the Messiah's power.
The three sentinel robots, which had put them in a perilous situation and seemed nearly invincible, were utterly powerless against the Messiah. It was as if they were crushed like insects, done so effortlessly that it seemed like a casual stroll.
For a while, the four of them were in awe.
Only when they saw the Messiah begin to turn away did they dare to approach.
They quickly went over, helping their comrade who had been knocked out by the sentinel robots and fitted with a mutant ability suppressor.
If Syd had attacked them, their fate would have been death.
"Wally, wake up…"
Wellington shook the unconscious comrade.
"Ugh…"
Soon, the young man named Wally came to.
"Where am I? Were you all captured too?"
Wally asked in terror.
Hearing this, Wellington and his team shook their heads.
"No, we've been saved!"
"What?" Wally was astonished, unable to understand what had happened.
To have survived such powerful sentinel robots?
Wally found it hard to believe.
"It was the Messiah who saved us!" Graff pointed towards the distance.
Wally instinctively turned his head and saw the back of the mysterious figure in black.
"The Messiah?"
Wally muttered in shock.
At this moment, the four of Wellington began discussing excitedly.
"Wally, you have no idea how amazing the Messiah is. He destroyed those three sentinel robots in the blink of an eye!"
Listening to their words, Wally was stunned.
In the blink of an eye? That's an exaggeration!
As he looked at the Messiah's retreating figure, Wally's emotions surged.
With Wellington's explanation, he began to understand the situation better, and feelings of envy, admiration, and awe filled his heart.
While they discussed, Syd had already arrived in front of Logan and the others.
Before the three could say anything, Syd spoke first. "You're too slow; I'll handle it on my own."
With that, he floated up and, under the astonished gazes of Logan and the others, flew off into the distance.
Watching the Messiah disappear, Logan and the others could only open their mouths and finally shake their heads with a wry smile.
Indeed, if the Messiah acted alone, he might clear the sentinel robots even faster without being hindered by them…
Reflecting on what they had just seen, they felt both powerless and amazed, and couldn't help but feel a bit dejected.
As mutants themselves, the gap between them and the Messiah was immense…
While they were disheartened, Ice Man, Bobby, and others, who had been watching from a distance, were excitedly discussing the recent events, frequently expressing their amazement.
As everyone's emotions fluctuated, Syd had already flown several kilometers away, expertly scanning the situation below.
With a whoosh, Syd increased his speed to seven times the speed of sound, rapidly flying over the city.
The howling sound was incessant.
In the city, whether people were walking or eating, they all heard this noise.
Some were puzzled, while others caught a fleeting glimpse of a figure in the sky.
"Who's that?"
"Is someone flying in the sky?"
"Wait, could that be the Messiah?"
Some felt the fleeting shadow looked familiar and were astonished.
Soon, they understood what was happening.
Each time Syd encountered a sentinel robot, he would stop, effortlessly destroy it, and then disappear with a sonic boom.
Though his stops were brief, they were enough for those paying attention to recognize him, and even capture footage.
As Syd cleared more sentinel robots, more people became aware of his actions.
Ordinary people were anxious, while mutants were excited and relieved.
Before long, the news headlines featured the Messiah once again.
The sight of the Messiah destroying sentinel robots with a mere gesture left countless people in shock and fear.
In the Experimental Base:
"Damn Messiah!"
"My sentinel robots…"
Base Commander Alessandro ground his teeth, while Dr. Bolivar was visibly pained.
"Messiah, you won't be arrogant for long!" Alessandro declared angrily.
During this time, they had amassed over a thousand sentinel robots. If they deployed them all at once, in batches, to avoid being wiped out by the Messiah in one go…
They couldn't believe that the Messiah would come out unscathed!
Moreover, the longer they delayed, the more sentinel robots they would accumulate, increasing the chances of the Messiah's elimination.
"After a while, when there are even more sentinel robots…" Alessandro sneered.
For now, they would let the Messiah have his moment of arrogance.
With that thought, he immediately ordered the withdrawal of all sentinel robots from the city.
Whoosh
Syd was flying at high speed in the air.
Soon, he noticed the sentinel robots' unusual behavior.
They were trying to retreat?
In the next second, his figure caught up with the few sentinel robots trying to withdraw, and blue light burst from his hands.
[Mystic Light Pillar Experience +1]
Boom, one by one, the sentinel robots were destroyed.
Then, he flashed and flew around the city's perimeter.
In no time, he caught up with and eliminated the fleeing sentinel robots.
The more he cleared, the better he felt.
Though these sentinel robots were insignificant, it was satisfying to irritate those who had sent them.
Indeed, in the secret experimental base, Base Commander Alessandro and Dr. Bolivar were fuming, wishing they could eat him alive.
If looks could kill, they would have killed him many times over.
Unfortunately, faced with Syd's power and without adequate preparation, they could only stew in their impotent rage and do nothing.
Soon, apart from a few hiding or slipping away unnoticed by Syd, most of the sentinel robots in the city were cleared out.
This process took less than an hour.
After finishing this task, Syd moved toward Logan and the others.
Before long, he arrived and saw Wolverine Logan, the Ice Man Bobby, and the rescued mutants talking.
