Chapter 232: Chapter 232
Chapter 232:
There was much confusion in the hearts of Professor X and the others when it came to the Messiah.
Although they often saw him through satellite footage, they had never interacted with him up close, leaving them full of questions about him.
Under these circumstances, this was their first meeting.
At the X-Mansion.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Professor X, Hank (Beast), and some students, including Iceman and Shadowcat, were waiting at the mansion's landing strip.
Buzz!
A black jet quickly flew in and landed slowly on the strip as they watched expectantly.
As the ramp descended, everyone saw a group walking down.
Professor X, Iceman, and the others glanced past Logan and the others, who were dressed in blackX-suits, and fixed their eyes on the last figure.
This person was wearing black, his face stunningly handsome, flawless, and far from human, too perfect to gaze at directly.
A strange aura surrounded him...
Anyone who looked at him felt an intense pressure and a sense of suffocation.
This was the Messiah...
The students, including Iceman, were dazed, their expressions quickly turning to fear.
Messiah's appearance far exceeded what they had imagined, causing a deep sense of intimidation.
Before the Messiah's arrival, they had thought about asking him questions-like how he was so powerful and about his Omega-level abilities-but now...
Shadowcat, Iceman, and the others no longer dared to approach him.
Beast (Hank) and Professor X were staring in awe at the slowly approaching Messiah.
"This is an Omega-level mutant? No wonder he looks so extraordinary," Hank thought to himself.
As the young man drew closer, Professor X couldn't suppress his curiosity and instinctively used his psychic powers to probe the Messiah's mind.
Normally, this wasn't something he did often-in fact, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't casually invade someone's mind...
But Messiah was too special, not only as an Omega-level mutant but also with terrifying power.
If he were ever to lose control, the consequences would be catastrophic...
The recent events all proved how dangerous Messiah was!
Professor X even suspected that the speed at which Messiah moved, seven times the speed of sound, and the destruction of a two-kilometer radius, wasn't even his full strength...
Just like some others, Professor X also believed Messiah was hiding his true power!
If that were the case, it would be terrifying!
On top of that, his natural curiosity about Messiah compelled him to use his psychic powers to probe further.
In the next second, without anyone else noticing, a powerful wave of psychic energy spread toward Syd.
But instantly, Syd detected it, realizing Professor X was trying to invade his mind.
Without thinking, Syd's immense mental power surged forth, blocking and shielding himself from the intrusion.
In the next moment, Syd turned his gaze toward the bald man in the suit sitting in the wheelchair-Professor X.
The two locked eyes in the air, one with a calm expression, the other with a look of astonishment.
"Messiah... you..." Professor X muttered in shock.
"Professor, what's going on?" Cyclops and the others turned their gaze toward him.
Soon, they realized that Messiah and Professor X were locked in a silent exchange. Cyclops and the others immediately began to speculate.
Could it be...
Sure enough, in the next moment, Professor X mumbled in disbelief, "It's unimaginable... Your mental power is just as incredibly strong!"
"What?"
"Professor?"
Cyclops and the others were bewildered, and curiosity filled their hearts.
"Is Syd's mental power also that strong?" Logan asked in surprise.
Everyone saw Professor X nod, his face filled with confusion and disbelief.
Professor X couldn't understand how Messiah's destructive powers were already terrifying enough, yet his mental powers were just as formidable?
During the Apocalypse incident, Professor X had faintly sensed it, but now, after personally experiencing it, he was still left in disbelief, thinking it impossible!
In his perception, Messiah's mental power wasn't weaker than his own.
In fact, he vaguely sensed a terrifying energy hidden within Messiah's body, an energy that
filled him with dread.
Just imagining that energy being unleashed sent shivers down his spine...
"He's even scarier than Jean," Professor X thought grimly.
If Jean lost control, there might still be ways to stop her. But if this boy lost control
completely...
Recalling the scene of the city's destruction, Professor X shuddered again.
"Let's hope that day never comes..."
As he thought this, Professor X explained briefly to Logan and the others.
"Messiah's mental power isn't weaker than the professor's?"
"No way?"
"Oh my..."
Shadowcat, Iceman, Logan, Cyclops, and the others were utterly shocked, unable to believe what they were hearing as they turned to look at Messiah. They could hardly believe their ears.
An Omega-level mutant... Was he really this powerful and terrifying?
So this was an Omega-level mutant?
Shadowcat and Iceman were both stunned, filled with both envy and fear, their minds
overwhelmed with awe.
Syd, however, paid no mind to their stares and instead frowned slightly at the professor.
He wasn't surprised by the professor's actions.
Normally, this man wouldn't spy on others, but in Syd's case, it was different. Anyone in his position would have been tempted to take a peek.
This was also why he had waited until now to meet Professor X.
Only with his current immense mental power did Syd feel confident in facing any psychic
ability user.
At the same time, he wasn't fully convinced by Professor X's image of a kind, benevolent
leader.
If the professor didn't play by the rules and used his powers to manipulate others, the situation for mutants wouldn't be what it is today.
Of course, Syd also understood some of the reasons behind the professor's personality.
Apart from being born into a wealthy family, which shaped his worldview differently from Magneto's, long ago, Professor X had realized the terrifying nature of his psychic power. To prevent himself from becoming evil, he had made a precautionary measure.
He had partitioned a section of his consciousness to absorb any negative thoughts and dark
impulses...
This self-imposed measure was why he always maintained a peaceful, enlightened state.
