With General Howell's order, the number of Sentinel robots deployed surged dramatically.
Under the scrutiny of billions of people from various factions and countries, forty Sentinel robots suddenly appeared before Syd.
Facing such a large number of Sentinels, Syd felt a slight challenge and noticed that the Power Stone's speed in clearing them was somewhat slower.
Boom!
The purple energy wave from the Power Stone obliterated about ten of the Sentinel robots, but the remaining ones seized the opportunity to attack.
Syd frowned slightly and swiftly evaded their attacks.
One of the Sentinel robots used the Crystal Man's crystalline abilities to attempt to restrict his movements, but it was blocked by the chaos magic surrounding him.
Looking at the dozens of Sentinel robots, Syd found the situation a bit troublesome.
However, after a moment's thought, he decided against using other abilities.
He continued using chaos magic for defense, while attacking with the Power Stone. Compared to using other abilities, this approach was the least consuming.
After a brief hesitation and a glance at the Power Stone, Syd decided to increase its output.
A larger wave of purple energy emerged.
Boom!
The front area was engulfed by the purple energy wave!
The twenty or so Sentinel robots in front were instantly struck by the energy wave. Some of them turned to dust immediately, falling from the sky.
With a sweep of his right hand, purple light scanned the sky.
In the blink of an eye, apart from a few quick-reacting ones that teleported away, the rest were all eroded by the Power Stone's energy and fell to their destruction…
"The power of this purple gem is terrifying!"
Those watching couldn't help but be amazed at the strength of the Power Stone.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, the military officers were visibly troubled.
Deploying forty Sentinel robots at once only caused a minor problem for Syd? This so-called Infinity Stone was that strong?
The option of deploying even more Sentinel robots flashed briefly in their minds but was quickly abandoned.
What if too many robots were deployed at once and were all wiped out in one go?
In their frustration, they could only continue with a strategy of attrition.
On-site.
Using the Power Stone's power, Syd dealt with the Sentinel robots effortlessly, barely consuming any of his internal energy.
He even became lazy, staying in one spot, using chaos magic to block various attacks, and only using the Power Stone's energy wave to sweep away any approaching Sentinel robots.
Even then, he found it a bit slow.
Glancing at the other three Infinity Stones floating around him, Syd expressed slight regret, "If only I had the Infinity Gauntlet…"
With the Infinity Gauntlet, he wouldn't need to use the Power Stone so crudely. The best approach would be to use the Power Stone's energy with the Reality Stone to avoid the constant backlash of the Power Stone.
After wasting some more time and clearing three waves of forty Sentinel robots each, Syd suddenly noticed that the Sentinel robots no longer appeared.
At this moment, billions of people from all factions and countries fell into silence.
How could they not deal with the White-Clad Hero, despite having hundreds or even thousands of Sentinel robots?
This was completely different from what they had expected!
They had thought that even an Omega mutant would be overwhelmed by the number of Sentinel robots, but now?
Looking at the White-Clad Hero floating high in the sky, dressed in white and surrounded by three glowing Infinity Stones, exuding an aura of mystery, countless people felt a sense of suffocation.
X Academy
Professor X, who had previously lamented the White-Clad Hero's potential demise, now displayed an expression of astonishment.
No matter how he thought about it, he hadn't anticipated this situation.
Thousands of Sentinel robots!
The military was actually too frightened to deploy more?
"How would Syd handle this situation?" Wolverine Logan murmured.
Then he shook his head.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out how the Messiah Syd would deal with these Sentinel robots.
After all, there were just too many Sentinel robots.
While Syd was incredibly powerful and terrifying, facing the military's attrition tactics would be almost impossible.
If the Sentinel robots had appeared in one large batch, Syd might have been able to handle it, but with them appearing in waves…
Logan shook his head.
The White-Clad Hero wielding that purple gem, known as the Infinity Stone, seemed to have an advantage that Syd didn't. Syd could not counter this situation.
In this moment, Logan could only silently pray that the Messiah Syd would not appear.
However, he couldn't deny that the White-Clad Hero with the Infinity Stone was truly terrifying…
"I wonder who is more powerful, Syd or him?"
Logan's mind was filled with this thought, and the figures of both Syd and the White-Clad Hero flashed through his mind.
As he continued thinking and comparing, he suddenly noticed that the aura surrounding the White-Clad Hero and Syd seemed somewhat similar?
After a while, Logan shook his head, dismissing the thought as mere overthinking and an absurd idea.
Nearby, Storm Ororo and others were deeply impressed.
The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
Magneto Erik looked astonished.
In a room, Wanda with her red hair and Pietro with his silver hair looked admiringly at the television screen.
Watching the White-Clad Hero effortlessly eliminate Sentinel robots one by one.
"If only we could have such power!"
"The White-Clad Hero is truly formidable…"
The siblings, who had longed for revenge against Tony Stark, now expressed admiration and envy.
With such power, wouldn't Tony Stark be easily subdued?
New York, Stark Tower
"Hey, my brother is really something!" Thor laughed.
Tony Stark, hearing this, couldn't help but roll his eyes and teased, "Wasn't it just recently that someone said we Asgardians wanted to do something to your brother?"
Black Widow Natasha and others nodded in agreement.
Thor, feeling embarrassed, laughed awkwardly.
At this moment, Dr. Banner said, "But I think the Power Stone is the real key. Without this gem, the White-Clad Hero wouldn't be able to handle these Sentinel robots so easily. In fact…"
Pausing, he marveled, "Doesn't this mean that anyone who obtains this gem could become as powerful as the White-Clad Hero?"
"This is terrifying!"
Upon hearing this, Tony Stark and Thor, as well as others, were shocked and hadn't considered such a possibility.
Indeed, this meant that whoever got the Power Stone could become as powerful as the White-Clad Hero!
"Such a terrifying gem?" Tony Stark was puzzled.
At this moment, even they couldn't help but feel a surge of desire for the Power Stone.
The Power Stone truly lived up to its name!
