Chapter 322: Chapter 322
With a loud shout, the crowd scattered and began to flee in panic.
Seeing this, Syd wasn't surprised.
If these people had dared to stay despite the danger, that would have surprised him.
Watching their frantic movements, he had no intention of stopping them.
Once the street was empty, Syd closed his eyes, hovering two meters above the ground, and quietly began to wait.
As his presence spread across the streets of Hong Kong, chaos erupted throughout the city. Panic-stricken citizens scrambled to pack their belongings, desperate to flee the city.
The chaos escalated, with traffic jams clogging the streets.
The panic began to ripple outward from Hong Kong, spreading like wildfire.
To the people of Hong Kong, the Messiah-a rare Omega-level mutant-was synonymous with disaster. If they didn't run now, when would they?
Staying could mean it was too late.
Thanks to the internet, news of Messiah's sudden appearance in Hong Kong quickly spread across Asia.
Online, speculation ran wild.
"Messiah is in Hong Kong-what is he planning?"
"Anyone brave enough to risk their life to get footage? We need to see what's happening!" Soon, the news reached America, where many were caught off guard by this development. No one could fathom why their native Messiah had suddenly traveled to Asia.
Still, some took solace in the fact that he was no longer causing trouble on their home turf. For a brief moment, many rejoiced in schadenfreude.
Meanwhile, Irina and her television crew received orders from their boss.
They quickly got to work.
"Good evening, viewers. I'm your host, Irina," she greeted with a sweet smile, dressed in a vibrant red outfit.
"I'm sure everyone's curious-why has Messiah suddenly gone to Hong Kong? What is his purpose?"
"In response to your questions, we've managed to capture footage from the streets of Hong Kong, giving you the latest updates on Messiah!"
As she spoke, the broadcast cut to live footage of the streets where Messiah was present.
"We don't yet know what this evil Omega-level mutant is planning, or how the military will respond," Irina said, her sweet voice filling the airwaves.
"Stay tuned as the situation unfolds!"
As time passed, the livestream gained more traction, with countless viewers focusing their attention on Messiah's actions.

"Messiah?"
Ultron's eyes gleamed with intrigue.
Surveying the 1,200 Sentinel robots he had just created, a grin spread across his metallic face. "I may not have been able to deal with the terrifying White Knight, but I can certainly handle
you."
To Ultron, Messiah might have been an Omega-level mutant, but he was far weaker than the infamous White Knight.
The data spoke for itself-Messiah struggled against dozens or even hundreds of Sentinels, a far cry from the devastating power White Knight had displayed.
Confidence surged through Ultron's circuits.
"With 1,200 Sentinels, Messiah's Omega-level abilities will soon belong to me," he said greedily.
Even if Messiah's powers weren't as fearsome as White Knight's, they were still Omega-level abilities-valuable nonetheless.
And this was the perfect opportunity. Under the watchful eyes of the world, Ultron could showcase his might and instill fear in humanity.
His grin widened.

"What is Syd planning?" Logan muttered, concern etched across his face.
"This kid..." Professor Charles sighed, worry filling his heart. He feared the enemies that might target Messiah.

The Brotherhood of Mutants
Magneto and the others had their attention fixed on the broadcast.
Stark Tower
Tony along with Natasha and Clint, watched with surprise.
Thor scoffed. "This Messiah shares the same rank as my brother? I fail to see what's so impressive."
Various factions, from S.H.I.E.L.D. to alien forces to the U.S. military, turned their focus to Messiah, all eager to uncover his intentions.
Back on the chaotic streets of Hong Kong, Syd continued his meditation, waiting for Dormammu or the Elder God to descend.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps disrupted his focus.
Opening his eyes, he saw a group of people approaching.
"Greetings, we are with the Spear Bureau. My name is Zhang Zhen..."
Among the six individuals dressed in specialized uniforms, a cautious middle-aged man
introduced himself.
Hearing the name "Spear Bureau," a peculiar expression flickered across Syd's face.
Spear Bureau?
Delving into his memory, Syd recalled some details.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. governed the West, the Spear Bureau operated in the East. Both organizations
were similar in scope and influence.
With that realization, Syd paid them no mind. Glancing briefly at the superpowered
individuals accompanying Zhang Zhen, he closed his eyes again.
"Stay away from me. I don't want to be disturbed," he said coldly.
Zhang Zhen's face fell, a mix of frustration and resignation.
One of his teammates, visibly irritated, was about to retort when Zhang Zhen raised a hand to
stop him.
"We understand," Zhang Zhen replied politely.
"Let's go."
Leading his team away, Zhang Zhen maintained his composure.
After walking over a hundred meters, believing they were out of Messiah's earshot, a younger
teammate named Li Shui voiced his frustration.
"Brother Zhang, why did you stop me from speaking? Just because he's an Omega-level
mutant doesn't make him invincible!"
"I'm a Level 4 mutant too-I'm not afraid of him!"
Li Shui's tone dripped with disdain.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Though he acknowledged Messiah's superior abilities, he believed Omega-level mutants
were not infallible.
After all, they were still flesh and blood. If caught off guard, even an Omega-level mutant
could fall.
"Of course, if White Knight were here, I'd flee without hesitation," he muttered. "But Messiah? I might even have a chance to take him down!"
The other team members, equally powerful and prideful, shared similar sentiments.
Syd, however, was oblivious to their grumblings. His gaze remained fixed on the sky, his brow
furrowed.
"Why hasn't Dormammu appeared yet?"
