Karim spoke into the microphone with a solemn tone, "At the time, I heard the sound of the

missiles exploding and saw Messiah flying over. He looked very battered, like he couldn't hold on..."

As he spoke, a large screen in the distance played a short clip showing Messiah being bombarded by missiles, forced to flee in a sorry state.

Irina smiled sweetly, "Did everyone hear our guest's statement and see the footage on the screen?"

"I can assure you all that Messiah was indeed defeated by the military!"

Listening to her words and watching the footage, the audience finally accepted the truth. Irina continued to smile, "What this means, I think everyone understands."

"Messiah is not invincible. He can be defeated. It may not be long before the military can eliminate this Omega-level mutant!"

Her words brightened the eyes of the audience, filling them with excitement.

Discussions erupted:

"So Omega-level mutants can be defeated?"

"The military is amazing; I can't wait to see the day Messiah is taken down!"

"If this is true, then Messiah isn't as hard to deal with as we thought, haha..."

Irina continued, "I've heard that the military is deploying a series of operations related to Messiah. It shouldn't take too long, so let's stay tuned!"

Finally, she said, "Well, that's about it for today's live broadcast. See you next time. I, your host Irina, will continue to bring you the latest updates on Messiah."

With that, Irina smiled and waved goodbye to the viewers, ending the broadcast.

Although the live broadcast ended, its impact did not disappear. The content quickly spread.

In the discussion about who was stronger, Messiah or the White-Clad Freak, Felix tagged Igel, who had refuted him earlier, feeling quite pleased.

"Did you see the broadcast? Your Messiah seems to have been defeated."

"You said Messiah was powerful; how did he end up like this?"

"If the military strikes again, the next news about Messiah might be his demise, hahaha..." "Haha, I told you the White-Clad Freak was stronger, but you wouldn't believe me, haha..." Before long, Igel saw Felix's message, and his mood soured.

He found it hard to believe that Messiah had been defeated.

How was that possible?

Not only him, but other supporters of Messiah also felt distressed.

Stark Tower.

Watching the latest news about Messiah, Stark was taken aback.

That kid was defeated!

He found it unbelievable.

"How many missiles did the military use?"

While Tony was pondering, the X-Men, the Brotherhood of Mutants, and S.H.I.E.L.D. also received the news.

Logan and the others were naturally worried, while S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Fury breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that this kid hadn't reached the point where he needed to call in Captain Marvel. The military's firepower was sufficient to deal with him.

Fury's single eye revealed a hint of a smile.

He wondered when the military would take the next step and whether Messiah would become the first Omega-level mutant to fall.

Fury was somewhat looking forward to witnessing that scene.

...

While news about Syd was spreading everywhere and people were discussing it, Syd was hiding in an abandoned factory, basking in the sun while floating in mid-air.

[Float Flight Experience +1]

[Float Flight Experience +1]...

Syd's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Float Flight was about to reach level five. What kind of speed boost would level five bring?

Breaking the sound barrier?

Besides Float Flight, other abilities hadn't been upgraded in a long time.

He turned his attention to the Reflective Shield and other abilities.

If the Reflective Shield reached level four, facing missiles wouldn't be as embarrassing as before.

Previously, even three Reflective Shields couldn't withstand the missile blasts; it felt quite weak.

Perhaps, if the Reflective Shield reached level four, just one or two shields would suffice against those missile attacks!

Additionally, if Black Particle reached level four, its range would significantly increase, and if the Divine Physique advanced from level three to level four, his defense would receive a substantial boost!

There were so many things to upgrade, and Syd felt pressed for time.

As he thought, he looked at the unlocking progress and subconsciously added all the energy points he had accumulated from time to time.

With the energy points depleted, the unlocking progress blurred momentarily and then

changed.

(Unlocking Progress: 44%)

"Not yet..."

Seeing the progress, Syd felt slightly disappointed.

If he could unlock divine power or Baldur's divine attributes, his strength would significantly

improve!

Not to mention, just divine power alone, as seen with Thor, would bring noticeable combat enhancements after awakening. Before awakening, Thor was an average warrior wielding a hammer, but after awakening, his combat power visibly increased.

A classic moment was when he wielded Stormbreaker, resisting the Infinity Gauntlet's gemn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

rays and seriously injuring Thanos, which seemed absurd.

Syd mused expectantly, "45% or maybe 50%?"

At this point, he wasn't sure whether to upgrade his current abilities first or focus on

unlocking new ones.

After pondering for a while, he decided to upgrade some existing abilities first and consider

new ones later.

He focused on the Reflective Shield.

[Ability: Reflective Shield (195/1000) Level 3]

With a thought, an invisible Reflective Shield appeared before him.

[Reflective Shield Experience +1]...

As he practiced repeatedly, the Reflective Shield's experience continued to increase.

Time passed.

Soon it was the morning of the fourth day, and a notification sounded in Syd's ears.

[Ability: Reflective Shield (0/2000) Level 4]

As the Reflective Shield reached level four, Syd immediately felt a slight change in his body;

his genes became more complex.

At the same time, the energy within him also transformed slightly.

While basking in the sun to recover his depleted energy, Syd began testing his abilities.

An invisible Reflective Shield instantly appeared before him.

"This is..."

Upon testing, Syd was surprised.

The level four Reflective Shield formed a U-shape, covering most of his body, and the energy

it contained felt significantly stronger.

Additionally, he found that he could now summon four Reflective Shields at once.

"I wonder how it will perform against those missiles again," Syd pondered. "It shouldn't be

as embarrassing as before, right?"
