Apocalypse found it unbelievable, unsure if he had misinterpreted something.
As he spoke, Magneto and the others, along with the people watching through the drones sent by the Egyptian authorities, felt confused.
What does he mean...
Suddenly, under countless watchful eyes, Apocalypse launched an attack, controlling the swirling sand to strike at the Messiah.
Syd frowned slightly and, in a flash, evaded the sand, rushing towards Apocalypse.
The entire process took less than a second, and in the blink of an eye, Magneto and the others saw the Messiah appear beside Apocalypse.
"How is that possible..."
Instinctively, they thought they had seen things.
Boom, a sonic boom followed.
Those who recognized the sound were shocked, while those who didn't were bewildered.
[Divine Finger Experience +1]
Crack, the sound of glass breaking, and the invisible shield in front of Apocalypse was impacted, sending him flying.
[Space Shift Experience +1]
Syd's figure blurred, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared beside the airborne Apocalypse, raising his right hand.
[Black Particle Experience +1]
Thud, the black particles pierced the invisible shield, going through Apocalypse.
Blood splattered, leaving a gaping wound the size of a head...
Syd adjusted his position slightly, preparing to release another black particle aimed at Apocalypse's head.
Even if decapitation might not kill him, it should temporarily incapacitate him.
However, before he could strike again, Apocalypse's eyes, filled with shock, suddenly focused on him, clearly having regained his senses.
Almost instantly, a layer of sand rose from the ground, binding Syd's right hand, catching him off guard.
"The speed of this sand..."
Syd tried to break free, but the sand held firm.
Despite his physical strength being several times that of a normal person, he couldn't break free?
Apocalypse continued to be hurled backward, crashing into a nearby rubble wall, and then slowly stood up.
His wounds were healing rapidly.
However, his mind was not on himself but on the young man not far away.
Not only him, but everyone's eyes were on Syd.
As everything settled, they realized what had just happened.
"Did you see Syd's speed just now..." Chris murmured.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"I saw it..."
"That was a sonic boom?"
Magneto and the others found it hard to believe.
This meant that the Messiah's flight speed had reached the speed of sound? But how was that possible? They had never heard or seen the Messiah move so fast!
Even in the recent video of the Messiah dodging missiles, his speed was noticeably slower.
"How suddenly did his speed increase so dramatically, observable to the naked eye?"
Otto, in the crowd, asked in astonishment.
Storm shivered slightly, suddenly saying, "Do you remember the discussions a while ago about who was stronger, the White-Clad Freak or the Messiah?"
Her voice quickly spread to Magneto and the others and the countless people watching through the drones.
"One person suggested that initially, when the Messiah appeared before us, his strength was not this formidable."
"In the beginning, the Messiah seemed somewhat overwhelmed when facing ten captors, but now..."
"According to that person's theory, the Messiah's power has been rapidly increasing over time..." Her words left Magneto Erik and the others in shock.
They were aware of this, having watched and studied the Messiah's early videos compared to
now.
They did notice the Messiah's power seemed to grow over time, but they hadn't thought much of it, assuming the Messiah had been hiding his strength.
If that person's theory was correct, and the Messiah's power was rapidly increasing, his potential was beyond words!
"Impossible..." Hank muttered.
At Stark Tower.
"Hey, what about science?"
Tony Stark was dumbfounded, shaking his head in disbelief, trying to dispel the impossible
thoughts from his mind.
But the Messiah's current display of power, so different from before, suggested that this
terrifying hypothesis might be true.
And this hypothesis was expanding...
If true, the Messiah could be far more terrifying than the White-Clad Freak...
Tony Stark could only comfort himself that this was temporary and that the Messiah's display
wasn't as fearsome.
At S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury's face showed unprecedented shock and gravity.
Is this real?
He couldn't believe someone so terrifying existed in the world.
Instinctively, he gripped the pager to call Captain Marvel and activated it.
Among the audience watching the live feed, Phyllis, who had recently discussed who was stronger, the Messiah or the White-Clad Freak, was full of disbelief.
"After some time, the Messiah has really become stronger?"
"Could that guy be right?"
As for the man of the theory, he was ecstatic.
His theory had been proven true. The Messiah was no less powerful than the White-Clad
Freak, possibly even more terrifying! On the battlefield.
Taking advantage of the fight between Apocalypse and the Messiah, Cyclops led his team to
Professor X.
Seeing them, Professor X felt conflicted.
Just recently, Scott had reassured him not to worry too much, saying that the Messiah's power
was already fearsome and that his growth rate couldn't be too fast.
Such a powerful being with endless potential didn't exist. But now...
Professor X murmured, "This child's power is already terrifying. If it continues to grow and
becomes uncontrollable..."
If the Messiah fell into the wrong hands due to carelessness...
The others felt a sense of dread.
Countless viewers experienced intense emotional swings.
Can Omega mutants really be dealt with?
On the distant battlefield.
[Sunshine Experience +1]
Finding himself unable to break free from the sand, Syd's hand emitted a gentle gold-white
light, unleashing a weakened version of Sunshine.
Under countless gazes, the sand particles gradually vanished.
Watching the Messiah float back into the sky, gazing at Apocalypse, Professor X and the
others felt complicated and heavy-hearted.
