Chapter 228

[120 REVIEWS REACHED!! Next Goal: 150 Reviews]

Staring at the screen, where the terrifying explosion shockwave was disintegrated by the light, where the earth, plants...

Even a large military base disappeared without a trace in an instant...

At this moment, countless people fell silent.

In the vast open space, only a figure emitting dazzling light remained, quietly suspended there.

Seeing Messiah, who seemed like a deity, Irina could only feel disbelief.

The terrifying aftershocks from hundreds of missile explosions were wiped out so effortlessly?

Wiped out without any resistance, without even a splash?

These were shockwaves from hundreds of missiles, and they were just gone like that?

Irina almost doubted what she was seeing.

Of course, if that were all, she would be merely astonished, amazed by Messiah's power, being able to easily clear away such terrifying missile shockwaves.

But what happened next completely exceeded her expectations.

Everything within two kilometers, including the military base, disappeared into nothingness...

All that remained was a huge crater...

Irina's eyes widened in terror.

This power was simply not human!

The ordinary people who hated or looked down on mutants found their smiles disappearing, replaced only by astonishment and fear.

"Did Messiah unleash that power again? Wiping out several kilometers worth of things?"

"Was the time he was chased by missiles and looked so pathetic all just an act?"

"Did he pretend to be weak and deceive us again?"

Looking at the two-kilometer-wide crater, countless viewers began to question their perception of reality.

...

Stark Tower.

Pepper covered her mouth, unable to speak.

Tony was bewildered.

How could a person's body possess such terrifying power? This wasn't just some minor damage but the complete erasure of a massive area!

Like the ordinary people, he, too, thought of the same question.

Did Messiah hide his true strength before? Did he pretend to be so pathetic during the missile attacks just to toy with them?! Moreover, could it be that the power displayed just now, which erased everything within two kilometers, wasn't even Messiah's true strength?

He had some evidence for this.

Tony still remembered clearly that, in the beginning, Messiah had directly erased an entire city!

Compared to that, erasing two kilometers seemed insignificant! Since then, Messiah had never displayed that level of power again, as if that time had been a mere coincidence...

So, could it be that everything since then was an act, and he had been pretending to be weak all along?

In reality, his true strength might allow him to easily erase a city! Perhaps even erasing a city wasn't his limit—he had never truly unleashed his full power...

Recalling it, every time Messiah faced danger, somehow, he always got through safely...

The more Tony thought about it, the more fearful the implications became.

Could such a person really exist in this world? Tony's heart wavered.

And if Messiah was like this, then what about the White Knight?

Could he also be hiding his strength? At that moment, Tony couldn't help but recall recent news—the phenomenon that had enveloped the entire Earth some time ago had been attributed to the White Knight...

Could it be that the true power of the White Knight was enough to destroy the Earth easily? Could this be the true power of an Omega-level mutant?

If the White Knight was like this, could Messiah also be the same? Had they all underestimated the power of Omega-level mutants?! The more he thought about it, the faster Tony's heart raced, unable to believe it all.

Pepper noticed his strange expression and asked in confusion, "Tony, what's wrong?"

Tony took a deep breath, then turned to Pepper, sharing his suspicions with her.

Pepper, who initially didn't understand, instantly gasped, mumbling, "Tony, are you joking..."

"No, I'm not joking." Tony shook his head, then said seriously, "Did you notice that Messiah's flight speed was Mach 7? At that speed, how could his exposed body withstand the pressure of high-speed flight?"

"Even the world's most advanced fighter jets can't reach that speed!"

"What does that mean? It means that Messiah's physical strength could far exceed our expectations!"

"But for so long, Messiah hasn't revealed even a bit of that—he hasn't shown it at all..."

"If I hadn't sensed something was wrong just now and thought back to Messiah's past, I wouldn't have noticed."

Listening to Tony's words, Pepper once again covered her mouth, her heart filled with shock.

If this speculation was true...

At that moment, Pepper felt a chill.

...

Brotherhood of Mutants.

Magneto, Mystique, and even Charles, Logan, and others from the X-Mansion had their anxious expressions frozen.

The shockwaves from hundreds of missile explosions, and everything in that vast area, had vanished...

"This kid!" Logan said with a mix of laughter and tears. "Is he playing with us?"

"Why didn't he do this earlier, making us worry so much? We worried about him for nothing."

After laughing and complaining, Logan suddenly asked, "How strong is this kid, exactly?"

With that question, Cyclops and others fell silent, exchanging glances, their faces filled with confusion and shock.

...

Kamar-Taj.

Kaecilius and over a dozen sorcerers in yellow robes felt their emotions surging.

The earlier Mach 7 speed compared to the current terrifying scene seemed almost...

"Is this the true reason why Messiah is called an Omega-level mutant?" Kaecilius murmured.

The group of sorcerers had their emotions stirred.

While everyone was lost in thought, the light spreading two kilometers had nearly disappeared in the satellite footage.

The two-kilometer crater clearly came into view.

As the light completely dissipated and the last bit of haze disappeared, they noticed something strange.

Within the two kilometers, apart from the brilliant figure of Messiah, there shouldn't have been any survivors.

Yet, they saw another person in the crater.

With the advanced satellite's zoomed-in view, they clearly saw the clothes this person wore.

The person was in a military uniform, with a very strong build.

A soldier?
