"Wow, look at that! The once-ferocious 【Wolverine】is all withered now… Speaking of which, did you happen to use that special drug produced by our company before?"
Before Logan Howlett and X-23 could react, Donald Pierce's gloating voice came from the periphery.
"It seems that the effects of that green potion are really short-lived for old mutants like you who should have been eliminated long ago… Soon you won't even be able to extend your claws."
"But it's a pity. I originally thought I could see a wonderful duel between you and X-24, but now it seems that what follows is likely to be a one-sided massacre…"
Speaking of this, he waved to a tall figure behind him, "It's your turn, kid!"
"Ahhh!!"
The X-24 clone, whose physique and appearance were exactly the same as the young 【Wolverine】, pounced directly from the darkness outside the light.
Pfft pfft—
The sharp claws that popped out between his hands directly pierced Logan Howlett's shoulders, and with brute force, he lifted the latter into the air, and then threw him far away.
Then, before the opponent could get up, he rushed forward again, preparing to pierce Logan Howlett's heart with his claws.
Obviously, if you want to completely solve the enemy in front of you whose whole body bones are covered with extremely hard 【Original Adamantium Alloy】, besides smashing the opponent's brain along the eye sockets, you can only pierce the heart from the rib gap.
Of course… all this can only be achieved on the premise that 【Wolverine's】self-healing ability fails, or is not as good as before.
But X-23's movements were faster than him.
Like a little beast going crazy, she used both hands and feet, constantly attacking X-24.
She would never watch her father be killed.
"Laura…"
Seeing this, Logan Howlett struggled to stand up, but all attempts failed after several tries.
The potion severely overdrawn his body's potential, and now his body functions have reached their limit.
And after the strength was greatly reduced, the heavy 【Adamantium Alloy skeleton】in his body was like a mountain, firmly pressing him on the ground.
The two wounds that had just been pierced by X-24 had not healed for a long time, and blood was still flowing out uncontrollably.
Logan Howlett had a feeling that he might die here.
But when he saw X-23 being thrown away by his clone, and falling into danger several times, indescribable fatherly love instantly turned into strength. He gritted his teeth and supported the ground with his fists, struggling to climb up.
Pfft—
However, Donald Pierce, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, shot through his thigh with a 【harpoon gun】with a reverse cone at the front end, and smiled wickedly, wrapping the steel cable at the tail around a big tree, and then ordered his soldiers to pull it back hard.
Logan Howlett, who had just barely climbed up from the ground, fell to the ground again, and kept sliding backwards under the force of several soldiers pulling him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look, the once fearsome 【Wolverine】will have such a miserable day?"
Donald Pierce mocked with a confident look:
"If you hadn't come to wade in this muddy water, you could have rotted little by little in a cave like those useless mutant wastes…"
"But now, I'm going to personally shave off the flesh and blood on your body, and then make the 【Adamantium Alloy skeleton】in your body into a specimen and put it in my office for viewing!!"
"You want to kill me with just you? You're far from it." The severe pain in his leg seemed to stimulate the last trace of potential in Logan Howlett's body.
He slammed the claws on his right hand into the ground, and while successfully stopping his body, the claws on his left hand directly cut off the steel cable and the barbed front end of the fish spear, and then endured the great pain to pull out the remaining part.
"Laura, go, I'll hold him back for you… Get out of here quickly."
"Go, hurry, hurry, hurry…"
Logan Howlett dragged his heavy body and launched a final charge towards X-24, successfully knocking the opponent to the ground.
But he was already unable to fight anymore.
So in the next second, he was pierced through the shoulder by X-24's claws, and then dragged his body like a dead dog, towards a huge tree stump lying on the ground not far away.
Pfft—
X-24 slammed Logan Howlett's body over his head, and then slammed it down hard, using the spear-like sharp root thorns at the base of the stump to firmly nail the former on it.
"Ugh ah ah…"
Logan Howlett let out a scream, and blood flowed uncontrollably from his abdomen, which had been pierced by the roots.
But X-24 was not prepared to let him go so easily.
The last near-death experience was still vivid in his mind. He had to get back all the humiliation he had suffered from Logan Howlett.
Pfft pfft pfft—
Sharp claws continuously pierced into Logan Howlett's body, splashing wisps of blood.
But what Logan Howlett cared about most at the moment was not his own life or death, but whether Laura had successfully escaped.
If his sacrifice could be exchanged for a glimmer of hope for that child, then everything he had done would not be in vain.
But… things don't go as planned!!
The little wolf girl was soon shot with anesthetic needles by Donald Pierce's men, and then took advantage of her inability to resist, and used special handcuffs to firmly fix her hands and feet.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a touching scene of father-daughter love…"
Donald Pierce clapped his hands and stepped forward with a playful look, stomping on Logan Howlett's wound and rubbing it back and forth.
"But an old guy like you who has long been out of date, wouldn't really think that you can defeat X-24, would you?"
"Face reality, he is younger, stronger, and faster than you. What are you fighting him with? Your life?"
Then he pointed to the little wolf girl who was constantly roaring and struggling with his mechanical hand.
"But you can rest assured about one thing. After you die, we will send that little guy to see you… Of course, that's if your soul doesn't go to hell?"
But at this moment, a distress signal suddenly came from the intercom.
"Mr. Pierce, quickly bring people back to support us. 【Eden】is under attack by a strong enemy!!"
"What?"
Donald Pierce was stunned for a moment, and then quickly picked up the intercom and asked, "How many enemies are there? What about their weapons and equipment? Are they mutants?"
"The number of enemies is unknown. We have only seen one person for the time being… But that guy's firepower is too strong. It seems that he carries a lot of RPGs with him. Our people can't even lift their heads… Boom!!"
Along with a violent explosion, the communication was instantly interrupted.
"One person?"
Donald Pierce listened with a dumbfounded expression, but somehow, the figure that had previously crippled X-24 with one shot slowly appeared in his mind.
Could that man also be here?
"Something seems to have happened to 【Eden】."
Donald Pierce then ordered the mercenaries beside him, "Leave a few people here to guard. After X-24 completely solves this old guy, take his body away together. I want to make the 【Adamantium Alloy skeleton】in his body into a specimen and put it in the office for exhibition."
"Yes!!"
Except for the few mercenaries who were selected to stay, everyone else followed Donald Pierce down the mountain.
At the same time, X-24 was still using sharp claws to continuously attack Logan Howlett, venting his anger… Even if the latter was already dying, he didn't want to stop at all.
And Logan Howlett, who was already unable to resist, was like a fish on a chopping board, being slaughtered.
"Am I going to die? I'm so unwilling!"
"Damn it, I still couldn't save that child. It's all my fault for being too weak…"
"Laura, I'm sorry, I may really not be a… good father, or rather, someone like me is not worthy to be a father at all."
"And Charles, I probably won't be able to chat with you in the future. I just don't know if the nursing home will kick you out after I die… But presumably with Mr. Karl's broad-mindedness, he shouldn't do that, right?"
Logan Howlett's thoughts soon became disordered, and his consciousness gradually became more and more blurred. Presumably the end was coming.
But at this moment, he suddenly recalled a passage that Frank had said to him before.
"Wait a minute, Frank seems to have said that he was able to be resurrected and gain great power because he offered absolute loyalty to Mr. Karl… ah no, Boss?"
"That's right, Boss is a dignified 【Dimensional Demon God】!!"
The latest novel is first published on !
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Logan Howlett tried his best to control his dissipating thoughts and silently recited Karl's name in his heart.
"I, Logan Howlett, swear with my soul to offer my life and loyalty to Mr. Karl Mara. From now on, I will completely obey his will and dedicate everything I have for his glory and benefit…"
Logan Howlett didn't know why someone as clumsy as him could say such a thing so smoothly at this moment.
But almost at the moment he completed the prayer, a dazzling golden light suddenly enveloped his consciousness.
Immediately afterwards, two sacred and majestic voices sounded in his consciousness: "Brave/strong warrior, reciting the name of the master again, We (X2) will grant you power!!"
So Logan Howlett tried it out and silently thought in his mind, "The master is… Karl Mara?!"
Almost at that moment—
Logan Howlett "saw" two arms, one red and one green, emitting sacred light, extending from the dazzling light to his face, as if to pull him up from the ground.
Logan Howlett subconsciously stretched out his hands and grasped the two arms… Two vast and unparalleled powers were then poured into his body.
Boom—
In an instant, Logan Howlett felt as if his body had been reborn and became brand new, and at the same time, an unimaginable vigorous vitality burst out in his body!
The previous feeling of weakness and weakness was directly swept away.
When he regained consciousness, he suddenly found that he had somehow stood up again from that tree stump.
The wounds on his chest that had been pierced by the roots and X-24's claws had already been restored to their original state.
The X-24 opposite him, and several mercenaries responsible for staying behind, were looking at him with horrified eyes as if they were looking at a monster.
As if something extremely terrible had just happened.
And from a perspective invisible to ordinary people's eyes.
At this moment, at the position of Logan Howlett's forehead, an "eight-pointed star rune" symbolizing 【Warp】was shining brightly, constantly flashing two different colors of light, "red and green".
"What Frank said is actually… true?"
Logan Howlett couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, but the surging power in his body was reminding him that everything that had just happened was all true.
Then next… it's time to start killing!!
Whoosh—
When Logan Howlett ejected the sharp 【Adamantium All-Metal Claws】from between his fists, a blood-red flame ignited on the claws without any warning.
Logan Howlett was naturally no stranger to this kind of flame.
Because he had seen it on the short knife used by Frank before.
In his words, this is the magical power that Karl has blessed him with!
And now, Logan Howlett has finally obtained this power.
Roar—
The tiger roars in the mountains!!
Feeling the anger in his heart, Logan Howlett let out an angry roar like a beast, and then his figure rushed forward at extreme speed, crossing a distance of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.
The red flame claws swept out like the scythe of the Grim Reaper.
Pfft pfft pfft—
The mercenaries facing him didn't even have time to react before they were already in different places.
X-24 raised his claws in a panic to block in front of him, and barely escaped the disaster.
But what made him feel terrified was that a few fine cracks were faintly appearing on the 【Secondary Adamantium Alloy Claws】that should have been indestructible.
Obviously, it was caused by the collision just now!
…
【Detected collectible souls, Warp soul count +1, +1, +1…】
【Reputation value +88, +77, +17…】
…
"WTF???"
Donald Pierce, who was originally leading the team to evacuate, was almost scared to pee on the spot after seeing this sudden scene.
What the hell happened?
Wasn't that old guy just about to die?
How could he suddenly become alive and kicking again in the blink of an eye…
Donald Pierce widened his eyes with an incredulous expression, staring at the 【Wolverine】on the hillside who was pressing X-24 to fight, and exclaimed in a lost voice:
"Who the hell can tell me, how did that old guy do it?!"
"And… why is there a red flame on his claws?"
At this moment, Logan Howlett had become as terrifying as a demon in his eyes.
Whether it was speed, strength, or self-healing, the other party had reached a level surpassing X-24.
And the surpass was not just by a little...
If he hadn't personally witnessed how X-24 crushed Logan Howlett in battle before, he would have suspected that the other party had injected the potent recovery agent that their company had specifically developed for those cloned mutants.
However,
no one present could answer his question!
Watching X-24, whose situation on the hillside was becoming increasingly precarious, Donald Pierce gritted his teeth and ordered, "Everyone, kill that old guy first."
With that said, he took the young Wolfsbane from the mercenary beside him, and then carried her alone, retreating down the mountain ahead of everyone else.
