Starting as a Class Five Mutant

[Event For: Warhammer: Starting as a Planetary Governor!!] [200 PS = +1 Extra Chapter!!]

The blinding light flooded the entire sky.

Bastion stood frozen, staring at the endless glow illuminating both universes.

"What… is this?"

Meanwhile, in the Sentinel-occupied world, a few surviving mutants had noticed the unfolding events.

Although Bastion had claimed to have exterminated all mutants, a handful had managed to escape death.

Recently, Bastion's mobilization of vast numbers of Sentinels had drawn their attention. They had sent out machines to investigate.

They had just discovered that Bastion had left through the portal to the primary reality, and before they could fully grasp the situation—this happened.

A massive spatial rift connected the two universes completely, and a shadowy figure in black hovered on the other side.

Before they could identify this person, the figure unleashed a flood of blinding light.

Under their stunned gazes, the boundless sea of Sentinels, stretching as far as the eye could see, was engulfed in radiance!

At that moment, something terrifying occurred.

The endless swarm of Sentinels, massive and minuscule alike, began to dissolve like melting ice under the sunlight.

Nimrod-class Sentinels, sensing the anomaly, activated various abilities in an attempt to resist.

Multicolored energy flickered across their bodies.

But it was all in vain.

Before Bastion and the stunned world, the next second—hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Sentinels simply vanished!

As the light faded, the mighty Sentinel army—once a global nightmare—was gone.

The mutants on the other side, who had clenched their fists in hatred for the Sentinels, could only stare in disbelief.

The sky was clear, utterly empty, devoid of a single Sentinel.

The battlefield fell into complete silence.

Everyone's eyes widened in sheer shock.

...

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury took a sharp breath.

This was not what he had expected.

Hadn't Bastion claimed that Nimrod-class Sentinels could overwhelm and kill Omega mutants?

Hadn't he said they had done it before?

Then what the hell just happened?!

The supposedly unstoppable Sentinels had been obliterated—instantly.

By Messiah's attack alone.

"What the hell… did I just witness?" Fury murmured.

"Did Bastion lie?"

"Were these Sentinels just all talk?"

He was caught between disbelief and suspicion.

...

X-Academy

Professor X, who had just been shaken by the idea that Omega mutants could be wiped out, was now completely stunned.

Nearby, Logan and the others were equally overwhelmed.

Bastion had boasted that Omega mutants—beings as powerful as Messiah and the White Knight—had fallen to the Sentinels.

They had struggled to imagine what such a horrifying battle looked like.

Then, when they saw the sheer number of Sentinels—millions blotting out the sky—their minds had gone blank.

Would they crush Messiah? Overwhelm him? Kill him?

And yet…

"What the hell…?" Logan muttered. "Did Syd just one-shot all of them?"

Storm and the others, still dazed, numbly nodded in agreement.

...

Stark Tower

A moment ago, Tony Stark had been wrestling with the notion that beings as powerful as the White Knight and Messiah could be killed.

Now, he was speechless.

...

U.S. Government Headquarters

The officials who had been grinning in schadenfreude froze mid-smirk.

Their faces turned stiff, their satisfaction turning into dread.

...

Elsewhere

Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, was in utter disbelief.

Messiah—the infamous, ruthless mutant—was supposed to finally die.

"...How did this happen…?" he muttered in shock.

...

On the Other Side of the Portal

The surviving mutants stared blankly.

Were they hallucinating?

What had just happened?

The shadowy figure in black unleashed a light… and then—

Over a million Sentinels just vanished.

"...That's not real, right?"

Their minds were in absolute chaos.

Bastion, for once, was just as dumbfounded.

A moment ago, he had been confident.

He had visualized Messiah drowning under an endless tide of Sentinels.

But now—

They were all gone.

His once unstoppable army had been erased.

The ever-composed, victorious Bastion now wore a look of sheer disbelief.

His mind couldn't comprehend it.

He had faced Omega mutants before.

They were powerful, but not invincible.

They could be worn down—killed through sheer numbers.

So what the hell just happened?!

"What… did you do?!"

Bastion's voice trembled as he shouted.

"How did you destroy my entire army?!"

"Aren't you just an Omega mutant? How the hell are you this strong?!"

Wasn't this primary universe supposed to be weak?

Weren't its mutants supposed to be pathetic?

Hearing Bastion's panicked screams, Professor X and the others hesitated.

Something… wasn't right.

Bastion's reaction felt genuine.

His shock, his disbelief—this wasn't a lie.

Which meant…

The Sentinels weren't weak.

The problem wasn't the Sentinels.

The problem… was Messiah.
