Starting as a Class Five Mutant

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

The self-proclaimed Sentinel robot's declaration that it would take over humanity and exterminate all mutants sent shockwaves through the world.

Especially when it claimed to have eradicated all mutants in its own universe and promised the same fate here.

Was this thing bluffing, or did it truly possess such terrifying power?

If it were true, the implications were chilling.

"Does his target include the White Knight and the Messiah?"

"Could he actually destroy those two?"

Speculation ran rampant as doubt and fear spread.

...

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

Nick Fury's head throbbed with frustration.

"Where on Earth did this one come from now?"

...

Stark Tower

Tony Stark, having just returned to his tower, muttered,

"What's with all the bizarre stuff lately?"

...

The United States Government

In the upper echelons of the U.S. government, faces turned grim as they listened to the Sentinel's message.

They dismissed the idea that humanity could be subjugated by a mere robot.

If anyone was going to take over humanity, it should be them, the United States—not some mechanical monstrosity.

However, when it came to the Sentinel's stated goal of eliminating all mutants, their stance shifted.

"We fully support this."

"Eradicating every mutant in the world…these Sentinels must be incredibly powerful to have achieved that in their universe."

If the Sentinel's claim was true, and it had wiped out even Omega-level mutants, including beings akin to the Messiah or the White Knight, then…

This thought chilled them to their cores.

If the Sentinel wasn't bluffing, it really might be able to take over humanity and eradicate every mutant.

The leaders hurriedly debated whether to resist or surrender.

...

It wasn't just the politicians. Intelligent individuals everywhere were drawing similar conclusions, their hearts gripped with terror.

What could humanity—or mutants—do against such a powerful foe?

On the Battlefield

Bastion paid no attention to humanity's growing fear. Its focus was elsewhere.

Sentinel robots had begun spreading into various cities, conducting detailed scans.

One of the Nimrod-class Sentinels locked onto a young mutant in the street.

"Scanning…analyzing…"

"Threat Level: Tier 2. Mutant ability: enhanced strength…"

It continued cataloging mutants, one after another.

"Threat Level: Tier 1…"

"Threat Level: Tier 1…"

"Threat Level: Tier 3…"

Back near the portal, Bastion finished its observations of this so-called Prime Universe.

To its surprise, the mutants here were far weaker than those in its home universe.

"The mutants in this Prime Universe are even weaker than those in my branch universe?"

Bastion found this astonishing, then amusing.

"So, this is the so-called Prime Universe? Laughable. It's weaker than a branch universe."

"These mutants are so weak. I can't fathom how this place is considered the Prime Universe, haha…"

A derisive laugh escaped its metallic lips.

Across the world, people watching Bastion's broadcast froze. Then, the implications began to sink in, and they were terrified.

...

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

Fury's face turned grave.

This Sentinel's brief statements had revealed far too much.

"If what it says is true, its universe must have had incredibly powerful mutants."

"And yet, they were all wiped out?" Fury inhaled sharply.

The thought was horrifying. If even powerful mutants couldn't survive, what chance did ordinary humans stand?

Grimly, Fury activated his pager to contact Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers.

If things spiraled out of control, he wanted her back on Earth.

At worst, she could carry essential artifacts and a few survivors off the planet to preserve humanity's spark.

He no longer placed much hope in her ability to fight off the Sentinels. If Bastion wasn't bluffing, not even Carol could win.

But she could escape.

Fury sighed heavily.

Having completed their analysis of the Prime Universe's mutant population, the Sentinels began their assault.

A Supreme Sentinel, almost indistinguishable from a human, targeted a mutant in the city.

These Supreme Sentinels, crafted with nanotechnology, could activate and transform from human guise to robotic form, making them perfect infiltrators.

Equipped with flight, super strength, energy beams, and the ability to suppress mutant powers, they were Bastion's ultimate creations for rooting out mutants.

...

On the Streets

Screams echoed as panicked civilians fled.

A Supreme Sentinel toyed with a middle-aged mutant man, chasing him like a cat with a mouse.

Flying through the air, the Sentinel pursued its prey relentlessly.

The man, Kleem, shouted in terror, "What do you want?!"

"Stop chasing me!"

To his surprise, the Sentinel actually responded.

"Mutant. Our mission is to exterminate your kind. To eradicate those who should not exist."

The cold, mechanical voice sent chills down Kleem's spine.

Realizing escape was futile, he turned to fight. His hand raised, ready to unleash his mutant ability.

But nothing happened.

No matter how hard he tried, his powers refused to manifest.

He stood frozen in shock, his face turning red with exertion.
