Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Instinctively, the eyes of Nick Fury from S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony from Stark Tower, the upper echelons of America, and people across the world all converged on Messiah.

Feeling the weight of countless gazes, Syd remained unfazed and spoke calmly, "I've already said this before."

"What makes you think that the Omega mutants you speak of and I are the same?"

Silence.

Bastion froze, his mind racing with thoughts.

Not just him—Nick Fury, Tony, the upper echelons of America, the people around the world, and even Professor X were all momentarily stunned.

What… does that mean?

A chilling realization crept into their minds.

...

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

Nick Fury, face full of disbelief, muttered, "So… Omega mutants are indeed Omega mutants, but even among them, there are differences?"

A terrifying thought struck him.

If the reason those beings were called Omega mutants was simply because they had reached the Omega level…

Then, what if Messiah was labeled an Omega mutant only because Omega was the highest classification available?

The implications were staggering.

One was merely an Omega mutant.

The other… a Super Omega mutant.

Perhaps, the existing ranking system was inadequate to categorize Messiah.

Understanding this, Nick Fury sucked in a cold breath.

He had already believed that Messiah was terrifying, but had he still underestimated him?

Until now, he had thought Messiah was on the same level as other Omega mutants.

The Omega mutants that Bastion had slaughtered should have been comparable to Messiah. Bastion could kill them, so naturally, he could kill Messiah too… right?

But reality was completely different.

Messiah was special.

Even among Omega mutants, he was one of a kind.

A Super Omega Mutant.

A monster among monsters.

Nick Fury didn't want to believe this conclusion, but no matter how much he resisted, there was only one possibility.

And it explained everything.

...

Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters

Professor X, who considered himself an expert on Omega mutants, was frozen in place.

If Omega mutants were considered the ultimate threat to humanity…

Then what exactly was Messiah?

Stark Tower

Tony, the U.S. government, and countless others across the world were all in shock, their thoughts mirroring each other.

Elsewhere

Ghost Rider Johnny, overwhelmed with disbelief, felt his heart clench with fear. He murmured, "No wonder…"

No wonder Messiah could erase Hellfire.

If even an Omega mutant was untouchable, then who in the world could stand against a Super Omega mutant?

Messiah, the mass murderer, the nightmare of criminals—who could possibly stop him now?

Johnny clenched his fists, overwhelmed by helplessness.

Battlefield

At the scene, Bastion's mind had also arrived at an answer, though he didn't want to accept it.

At that moment, he also understood why this was the Prime Universe, while his own was merely a divergent reality.

He refused to accept this truth, clinging to a sliver of hope.

"Don't think you've won! The battle isn't over yet!"

His expression twisted with madness and fury. "I am the ultimate Sentinel! I wield power equal to an Omega mutant! No one can defeat me!"

"Not even you!"

Bastion flew to face Messiah, locking eyes with him.

The world held its breath.

They had assumed the battle was already decided.

But now, they realized something shocking—this Sentinel was powerful enough to match an Omega mutant?!

Who would win?

Across the world, all eyes remained glued to the confrontation.

On the other side of the portal, the surviving mutants finally understood the nature of the blinding white light from before.

That light… had come from the Omega mutant of the Prime Universe?

But…

Why was this universe's Omega mutant so much stronger?

Was this even an Omega mutant anymore?

Disbelief filled their hearts.

Then, they saw Bastion step forward, and their fear escalated.

Would the terrifying Sentinel commander win?

Or would the unknown Omega mutant from the Prime Universe triumph?

They knew just how strong Bastion was.

His ability to replicate multiple powers made him equal to an Omega mutant!

As fear and anxiety spread, Messiah remained expressionless.

He had no interest in continuing this battle.

He had lost his patience.

The next moment, space stone energy surged into his body.

Augmented by its power, Sunshine burst forth!

A dazzling light erupted.

One second, it was beside Messiah.

The next, it enveloped Bastion.

It was so fast that Bastion barely had time to react—only enough to feel an overwhelming sense of crisis.

Before he could do anything, the light swallowed him.

His silver body shimmered under the illumination.

A realization struck him, and despair filled his eyes. He stopped struggling and muttered, "Impossible…"

"I am a Sentinel on par with Omega mutants… How could I…"

"Die here?"

In just a single instant.

An unfathomable power.

His expression turned dazed, almost reverent.

The moment the light touched him, he knew—this was the end.

Now he understood.

This was not just any light.

It was limitless, absolute power.

With a final whisper, Bastion—the so-called ultimate Sentinel—crumbled into dust.

His ashes scattered into the wind.

As the Sunshine's radiance faded, the sky returned to normal. The world was still.

Bastion… had completely vanished.

Yet, his final words echoed across the entire world.

With his death, global electronic systems returned to normal.

But nobody cared.

Through satellite feeds and live broadcasts, the entire world—like the mutants on the other side of the portal—stared blankly at the floating, black-clad figure.

Syd Castell.

The Super Omega Mutant.
