Listening to his analysis, Commander Alessandro shook his head.

"Doctor, have you considered that the Messiah might not be as strong as we think?"

What do you mean?

Destroying a city isn't strong enough?

Dr. Bolivar Trask was a bit taken aback.

Commander Alessandro explained, "Of course, I'm not saying the Messiah isn't powerful. What I'm suggesting is that his endurance might not be as long as we think!"

"After observing several of his attacks, I noticed that whenever the Messiah uses that all- destroying light, he always retreats afterward. This suggests something, doctor, and I think you understand."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Trask's eyes lit up, "You mean..."

"Yes, we can send waves of Sentinel robots to exhaust that guy!"

"If your guess is correct, then this is an excellent plan!" Dr. Trask paced excitedly in the lab, a look of exhilaration in his eyes.

At that moment, he seemed to envision the so-called Messiah falling at the hands of his proud creations, the Sentinels.

He muttered, "There aren't enough Sentinels now, but we're running out of funds."

Alessandro smiled slightly, "Don't worry, doctor. I'm sure the senators will willingly allocate us a large sum of money. The Sentinels will only increase in number!"

Dr. Trask agreed. If they didn't want to live in fear of the Messiah forever, they would

certainly do whatever it took to eliminate him!

Despite having a solid plan, he still felt the need to take additional precautions.

He said, "I need you to go to the X-Mansion and capture that girl named Anna."

"She can absorb the abilities and life force of other mutants through contact and use those abilities herself. She will be of great help in perfecting the Sentinels!"

"With her, countering the Messiah will be much more certain!"

Dr. Trask spoke solemnly.

Commander Alessandro was startled but then nodded.

He had also noticed some deficiencies in this generation of Sentinels. Apart from their ability to change shape, many powers couldn't be replicated.

Maybe, with that girl named Anna, everything would change?

At that time, he wanted to see how the Messiah could resist them!

No matter how powerful he was, could he fight against countless Sentinels?

"Your final fate can only be to become a test subject in my lab, dead or alive!" Alessandro smiled.

Apart from their plans to deal with the mutant Messiah, the mysterious man in white also caught their attention.

Before long, ten Sentinels were dispatched from the factory at the request of government agencies, intended to capture this white-clad mutant.

While various organizations were mobilizing, Syd Castell was currently hiding and absorbing sunlight, aiming to quickly bring the Scarlet Witch's unlock progress to 100%.

He was curious and eager to see what changes would occur when the Scarlet Witch's abilities were fully unlocked.

Time passed quickly, and it was soon noon on the fifth day.

"What's approaching?"

Sensing danger approaching, Syd glanced at the panel.

[Energy Points: 79631]

(Unlock Progress: 70%)

Glancing at the energy points, Syd thought, "I wonder how much progress this will bring?"

The next second, he allocated all the energy points to the unlock progress.

The 70% progress blurred for a moment and then changed.

(Unlock Progress: 100%)

[Energy Points: 1951]

"100% already?"

"And there's some left over?"

Syd was surprised.

He knew that the last 30% for Orochi had taken a lot of time. He expected this time to reach maybe ninety-something percent, but it was actually full?

The next second, he didn't have time to think, as the changes in his body interrupted his thoughts.

A warm current flowed through his body, with his genes becoming increasingly complex.

Boom!

A red glow erupted from him, extending several meters around him.

Syd's eyes, which had turned golden from sunlight exposure, began to take on a red hue.

Two scarlet points flickered in his pupils.

[Ability: Chaos Magic (0/2000) Level Four]

[Ability: Probability Manipulation (0/1000) Level Three]

Syd felt a surge of power throughout his body, his nerves exceptionally active, as if he could

do anything.

At the same time, he noticed that the probability manipulation ability seemed to have merged more deeply with chaos magic.

"Probability manipulation and chaos magic both leveled up?"

Syd clearly felt the power within chaos magic had greatly increased.

He even suspected that his current strength was very close to Scarlet Witch's frenzied state in "Avengers: Endgame," where she nearly tore apart Thanos without the Infinity Stones.

After all, Thanos, even without the stones, was no ordinary opponent, capable of shattering Captain America's vibranium shield with a mere blade, showcasing his immense strength.

And the Scarlet Witch nearly ripped him apart.

Moreover, Syd estimated that the power of chaos magic would fluctuate with his emotions, making it hard to accurately gauge his strength.

[Chaos Magic Experience +1]

A red glow enveloped the ground.

With a boom, under Venom's surprised gaze, a large pit about two or three meters wide

appeared, with dirt and rocks floating in the air.

Syd felt extremely relaxed, not exerting much force at all.

Pausing for a moment, he didn't continue testing because Venom sensed danger approaching.

"Syd, be careful!" Venom said seriously.

Syd nodded, staying alert in the secluded alley while also focusing slightly on his internal

energy.

The light energy within him continued to increase with the sunlight.

He estimated that the current light energy should allow him to use third-level abilities over a

hundred times and fourth-level abilities around eighty times.

Of course, chaos magic was based on duration, so it was roughly the same overall.

"Light energy is still not enough..." Syd couldn't help but complain.

While he was alert, ten fully armed soldiers and ten Sentinels were rapidly approaching from

the distant sky.

Above them, several drones floated, their cameras clearly recording the capture operation.

Netizens discussed excitedly.

"Ten Sentinels? Haha, let's see how that white-clad weirdo escapes!"

"He's doomed. After all, he's no mutant Messiah."

"Another powerful mutant is about to die!"

Netizens were buzzing with discussions. Meanwhile, the mutants watching the live broadcast

were worried and scared.

During this time, they had privately given this white-clad man the nickname "White Knight." If the White Knight died, it wouldn't be long before it was their turn.

So they worried about the White Knight and feared what would happen to them if he died.

Watching the battle, both the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants had a foreboding sense

of the outcome.

No one knew better than they did about the power of the Sentinels. Not everyone was a

mutant Messiah who could easily deal with Sentinels.

To ordinary mutants, Sentinels were monsters, their nemesis!
