Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Surely, Messiah would hesitate now, right?

Faced with the relentless vengeance of America, no one could remain unafraid or endure indefinitely.

No matter how powerful Messiah had appeared in the past, taking on a superpower was undoubtedly beyond even his abilities.

As people clung to the hope that Messiah might reconsider and spare Youssef and the others, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

Syd's expression remained calm as he swung his hand.

Boom!

In an instant, the ground was scarred with several deep, bottomless gashes.

Youssef and his group, frozen in shock, were swiftly sliced into pieces.

"He actually dared?"

Youssef and the others couldn't believe it.

In their disbelief, shock, and unwillingness, their lives faded away.

Boom!

The world collectively gasped at the sight.

Messiah dared to do this?

Without leaving any room for negotiation, he had directly killed those high-ranking officials?

How could he?

Even if he was strong, there was no way he could oppose an entire nation!

"He's insane…"

"Messiah is a madman!"

"This is it for him. America will hunt him relentlessly now!"

"No matter how powerful he is, even as an Omega-level mutant, he's done for!"

Around the globe, countless people stared at the broadcast, their eyes filled with schadenfreude.

New York. Stark Tower.

"This is bad…"

Tony sighed heavily.

With Youssef and the others dead, all chances of reconciliation had vanished.

Messiah had truly…

Tony sighed again, regretful.

At the X-Academy, Charles and Erik felt their hearts sink with anxiety.

Messiah had been far too impulsive.

Elsewhere in New York, Luan's grin widened.

Messiah was finished!

Even if he held out for a while, his fate was sealed.

As Luan reveled in his joy, the extradimensional demon inhabiting him chuckled.

"This mutant's power is impressive, but he doesn't know how to conceal his strength or bow to greater forces."

"To challenge a superpower as a single individual—such arrogance will only lead to his downfall."

The demon spoke with certainty.

As a dimensional being, he had seen countless individuals defy the collective and had always watched them meet tragic ends. Messiah would be no exception.

Hearing the demon's words, Luan's eyes gleamed with delight.

If even this great being believed so, then Messiah was surely doomed.

"Now," the demon continued, "while everyone's attention is on Messiah, you must set up the ritual and destroy Earth's three Sanctuaries."

Luan froze momentarily before his excitement surged.

"Soon, I'll have power beyond Messiah and the White Knight?"

The thought filled him with exhilaration.

Yet, some doubt crept into his voice. "Great one, with my current weak power, can I truly complete your task?"

"Do not worry," the demon said with a faint smile.

The next second, he connected to his true form in the dimension, sending an immense surge of power.

Boom!

A fierce wind howled through the room.

Luan was stunned, feeling his body surge with an overwhelming force that seemed endless.

"With my will and connection to my true form, the power I bestow will be enough for your task."

"Right now, your power is no weaker than Messiah's!"

"Setting up the ritual and destroying Earth's Sanctuaries should be no challenge for you!"

Luan's eyes widened in shock.

"No weaker than Messiah?"

He gasped, his face full of awe.

"Act quickly," the demon commanded sternly. "This power is temporary. If you fail, you'll revert to your weak self. But if you succeed, when I claim Earth, I'll devour Messiah and grant you his power!"

"Yes!" Luan was ecstatic.

Glancing at Messiah's image on the broadcast, he smirked.

"Messiah, you'll live for now," he sneered.

Laughing to himself, Luan reviewed the knowledge bestowed by the great being.

The next second, he channeled the demon's power to create a green portal to a distant location.

Luan stepped into the portal and disappeared.

In under ten minutes, using the portal and the demon's power, he had gathered all the materials for the ritual.

Under the demon's guidance, the magic ritual was completed almost instantly, ready to be activated.

However, knowing the act would attract the attention of Earth's mages, the demon instructed Luan to first destroy the three Sanctuaries.

Passing through another green portal, Luan arrived at the Hong Kong Sanctuary.

Looking at the recently rebuilt structure, Luan sneered.

The next moment, dozens of green arrows materialized, shooting toward the Sanctuary like lightning.

"What's happening?"

"Ahhh…"

The cries of mages defending the Sanctuary echoed as the structure crumbled under the relentless assault.

Even with defensive wards and magical barriers, the Sanctuary couldn't withstand the attack.

With the Hong Kong Sanctuary destroyed, Luan wasted no time, opening another portal to the New York Sanctuary.

Using the same method, he obliterated it in an instant.

Finally, he reached the last Sanctuary.

Boom!

With its destruction, the magical web protecting Earth vanished.

Kamar-Taj.

The Ancient One froze mid-tea-pour.

Doctor Strange looked up at the sky, his face full of disbelief.

"All three Sanctuaries destroyed?"

"How is that possible?" he muttered, unable to comprehend.

Near the White House ruins.

Having just dealt with Youssef and the others, Syd looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed.

Around the world, viewers watching the broadcast were puzzled.

"What's Messiah doing?"
