Chapter 53: Hero's Sunset
"So what's going on now?"
Bruce asked, "Is this the dark multiverse you mentioned?"
Katum shook his head: "Dark Universe? No, no, no, that's far from the point of view!"
The dark multiverse in the DC world is formerly the dark realm used by the world forger to forge the world. Its purpose of existence is to provide a world full of light and hope for the multiverse.
In other words, the true dark universe is the scraps of world forging, a world of only crime and despair.
But this world is different.
Even though it has been occupied by a super villain, it still retains a part of the light.
"Let's go." Katum said, "Since we are here, let's go to other parts of the world.
"That's perfect. Don't you have a billion dollars in New York? Let's go get it and spend it on me."
Bruce thought the owl was a bit whimsical.
He picked up the newspaper, pointed to the map and said, "Can you please wake up? We are in New Mexico, the southwest corner of the United States, and New York is in the northeast of the United States. Do you mean that we have to cross the entire United States just for a small amount of money like 10 billion?"
Bruce has no money now, and Katum's proposal is equivalent to asking them to walk across the United States.
The owl can fly, but he, Bruce, can only walk.
And according to the markings on the map, there are poor mountains and bad waters everywhere along the way.
Hulk Gang, Green Goblin Territory, Ghost Riders, Kingpin Dynasty, Doom's Lair, Hammerfall, Ant-Man Crossroads...
Bruce didn't know what these names meant, but he knew that these places were definitely trouble.
He is not afraid of trouble, but he just thinks it is unnecessary.
If he really crossed these places, Bruce doubted whether he could reach the other side in two months.
"Then find a few people to go together."
The owl suddenly had an idea, clenched its wings into fists, and held out a feather, "Hey, I have a good candidate!"
"Who?" Bruce asked.
This damn owl, why does it seem like he has connections everywhere?
"This world once had a superhero."
Katum said, "His name is Wolverine. Come to think of it, he is one of your seniors."
what?
Katum was talking nonsense just before, and Bruce just took it as a joke, but now he is saying that he has his own senior in this world?
Why, are the people from Hogwarts randomly refreshed throughout the universe?
But Katoom swore: "I'm not kidding! The uniform is yellow and black, and the prototype is Wolverine. If this isn't a Hufflepuff graduate, no one would believe it!"
Looking at his appearance, I have to enroll Wolverine in school today.
Bruce was too lazy to argue with the owl anymore: "Okay, where are we going to find him?"
Well, this——
Katum couldn't give an answer for a moment.
Speaking of which, this world is not entirely the universe of "Homecoming" or "Logan", but more like a combination of the two.
According to known information, the X-Men were completely wiped out, but Professor X himself was not dead, but was declared missing.
Also missing with him was Wolverine Logan.
So Katoum has reason to suspect that the current Wolverine does not form an ordinary family like in the comics, and his fate has deviated.
Of course, Owl wouldn't think that Professor X is still alive after fifty years.
In that case——
“Let’s go to the border!”
Katum said, "We can also experience the feeling of going in the opposite direction."
……
In the desolate border area, on the dusty road, a dilapidated car was speeding and finally stopped next to a dilapidated warehouse.
The car door opened and a man with a look of exhaustion got out.
The man looked to be in his seventies, with messy stubble and gray hair. His once sharp eyes were now bloodshot and he looked listless.
He is Logan Howlett, the former superhero Wolverine, and he looks even older than in Wolverine 3.
He went deep into the warehouse and pushed open the door. Inside was a hospital bed with IV drips hanging on it. The person lying on the bed was skin and bones, and looked emaciated. It was obvious that he was on his deathbed.
No one could recognize that this was the once famous Professor X.
Next to the bed sat another old man, also in his twilight years, but his spirit was completely different from Logan.
"Thank you for your hard work, Clint."
Logan called out the old man's name, he was Clint Barton, the Hawkeye of the former Avengers.
This archer who used to be able to hit the target with every shot has now lost almost 100% of his vision due to glaucoma.
Logan bent down and placed the bag full of medicine on the bedside table, then supported himself and managed to stand up.
"Has he woken up yet?"
"No."
Hawkeye shook his head, "Looks like it'll be in these few days."
Really…
When Logan heard this, a complex expression flashed in his eyes. He looked at the old man on the hospital bed who had almost completely lost his perception of the outside world, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"That's good." After a long while, Logan said, "It's a good thing that he's freed."
"Logan, are you really not going to help me?"
At this time, Hawkeye spoke up, "What are you going to do after the professor... leaves? Our lives are coming to an end, we should burn them!"
This is why Hawkeye Clint has been here all this time.
He wanted to ask Logan to do something big, but every time he got a response, it was a rejection.
So much so that Hawkeye finally stayed here and refused to leave until he got a positive answer.
And Logan was not touched by this at all.
He simply treated Hawkeye as a nanny and asked him to take care of the dying Professor X.
"I will never fight with anyone again."
Logan said the same thing again, "Clint, just give up on this idea!"
Hawkeye didn't react much when he heard this. After all, people get used to being rejected so many times.
Sudden--
"Cough, cough, cough!"
A faint cough was heard from the bed, and Professor X woke up from his coma.
"professor!"
Logan quickly helped the professor up and patted him on the back gently. After Professor X had calmed down, Logan helped him lie down.
"Thank you... Hank..."
Professor X thanked him in a thin voice.
Hawkeye sighed: "Professor, he is Logan, not Hank. Hank has long been..."
Hank, once a member of the X-Men, codenamed Beast.
Died fifty years ago.
A feeling that things and people have changed grew in Hawkeye's heart. Once the most powerful mind in the world, he was now completely demented and could not even recognize the people around him.
Professor X was still talking, this time to Hawkeye.
"Scott, why are you here alone? Where's Jean?"
Scott, codenamed Cyclops, was also an X-Man who died fifty years ago.
Hawkeye felt even more sad.
"I'm not Cyclops, I just have glaucoma now!"
