More Sentinel robots descended from the sky, an unending stream that was both overwhelming and terrifying. It was clear that humanity was determined to annihilate the mutants hiding here.

But no matter how many Sentinels came, they could not break through the defensive line held by Roger alone.

These Sentinels had undergone several upgrades, and even without directly encountering mutants, they had access to abilities that mimicked mutant powers, such as transforming their bodies into steel or rock.

Yet, in front of Roger, these abilities were utterly useless. Whether steel or rock, their reinforced bodies shattered easily under his fists.

The strength of Superman was a devastating blow to the Sentinels. None of them could withstand a single punch from Roger.

"Is that all you've got?"

At first, Roger had thought this battle would be challenging. After all, the Sentinels could use multiple powers, making it feel like fighting an army of mini Apocalypses.

But the fight turned out to be absurdly easy. His super speed and super strength, combined with his nearly indestructible body, allowed him to hold back the onslaught without even using his heat vision. He single-handedly stopped the Sentinels in their tracks.

If this was the extent of their abilities, Phoenix-powered Jean Grey could have obliterated them all with ease.

However, remembering that this world's Phoenix had already fallen and the remaining mutants were struggling against the Sentinels, Roger focused on holding the line.

As Roger held off the Sentinels at the front, the X-Men stood behind him, watching in awe.

They had never seen such a powerful mutant. While the X-Men could handle Sentinels one-on-one, the true terror of Sentinels lay in their mass production and multiple abilities. No single mutant could face an army of Sentinels alone.

Yet, this stranger who appeared out of nowhere was doing exactly that. Not only was he fighting multiple Sentinels at once, but he also seemed completely at ease, as if the towering machines were nothing more than paper puppets.

The X-Men were stunned. After a while, Petra, a mutant with the power to control earth, turned to Iceman and asked:

"Do we... still need to keep retreating?"

With the Sentinels seemingly held at bay by one man, the mutants in the city might not need to evacuate anymore.

But Iceman, noticing the human fighter jets still approaching and the continued arrival of more Sentinels, turned back and said:

"Stick to the original plan. Even if the Sentinel threat is resolved, this place isn't safe."

"Understood."

Petra returned to urging the mutants to evacuate quickly, while Iceman turned to Tony Stark and Nebula, who had landed beside him, and asked:

"...I didn't catch it earlier, who are you?"

Tony, disappointed that he hadn't brought his Hulkbuster armor, finally addressed Iceman:

"It's a bit complicated, but to keep it simple: I'm Iron Man. And this is my alien friend, Nebula. We're here to help."
