39. Brewing Counterattack

Less than a day has passed since the phoenix sniper battle in the sea of ​​tranquility on the moon, but the situation in the world has become quite delicate.

Dozens of phoenix fragments that fell into the earth caused the folding phenomenon, but most of them were contained in the warning from the watchtower at the first time.

The crisis caused by the Phoenix's return to Earth stayed at the level of the Phoenix Apostle.

The danger had already passed, but the awakened mutant tyrant Apocalypse took this opportunity to create the dangerous Four Horsemen of Apocalypse.

War Hulk, Destiny, Gaming and Death, these four guys were instilled with the violent idea of ​​cleaning the world, and infused with destructive power far beyond their level of power.

Utopia is attacked, the superhero group is severely damaged, and several famous heroes, including Captain America and Batman, are involved in the situation.

Innocent people like Betty Ross were also affected by the big snake that fished in troubled waters.

At present, except for War Hulk being chased by Betty who turned into Lord Skyhammer, the other three knights are making waves all over the world, launching sudden attacks on cities.

"The death knight raided Paris 3 hours ago, 7 blocks were frozen, and the Eiffel Tower was destroyed, but the demon hunters in Paris, led by several demon hunter masters, repelled him."

"But even with the assistance of the Ministry of Magic, the Witcher faction has suffered serious damage."

"The game knight appeared in Los Angeles. The first wave of attacks by the West Coast Heroes Association has been wiped out. That guy restrained all the heroes who attacked him by weird means, and turned them into his servants."

On Utopia Island, the strong attack connected to the brain wave enhancer is like a spiritual radar covering the world, constantly tracking the activities of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and he constantly summarizes the information to the people around him.

Nick Fury, wearing a robe and a mask, restarted the "Eye of the Sky" program again.

To be honest, after the extinction of the Skrulls, Fury thought that he would never have the opportunity to use this global surveillance system.

But life is always full of damn surprises.

"Some bad things seem to have happened to the ancient city of Atlantis, which is protected by the kingdom of the deep sea, but I can't penetrate the spirit into that city."

Kuang Gong sent new news, and of course it wasn't good news.

He said:

"Wait, War Hulk suddenly appeared in Tibet!"

Sitting on the brain wave strengthening machine, Kuang Gong's complexion changed slightly, and the news he said made Fury's eyes round, and she asked back:

"War Hulk doesn't have the ability to teleport, does it? How did it get from North America to Tibet in a few hours? What did it do there?"

Kuang Gong raised his finger, and used the equipment on his armor to project the spiritual power onto the screen.

In the projected picture, Fury saw that the War Hulk raging in a certain city on the east coast was hit by the red-skinned Hammer Venerable Betty.

In an explosive dance of purple lightning, the War Hulk was whipped out like a baseball.

At more than ten times the speed of sound, the monster crossed the sky of most of the world, and finally smashed into the valley of the Himalayas like a meteorite.

"It didn't take the initiative, it was sent flying by Betty Ross."

There was also a trace of surprise in the mad attack's voice, and he seemed to be shocked by the power of Venerable Sky Hammer.

In the real-time transcribed footage, the armored War Hulk, holding a warhammer and a great sword, struggled to climb out of the impact crater in the snowy mountain valley.

The disgraced Apocalypse Knight was injured, and before it could recover, a mysterious man who flew down from the sky like a streamer with a chain hammer in his hand came to it again.

The purple thunder lingered endlessly in the battle area between the two. Every attack they made would cause the ground of the snow field to collapse and the valley to collapse.

Fortunately, this place is deserted, no matter how fiercely they fight, there will be no casualties.

Fury's eyes were fixed on the projection. She looked at the man who was attacking War Hulk. Despite the purple lightning package and the drastic change in appearance, he still recognized the man's identity at a glance.

"Steve?"

Crazy Attack and Fury are not simply collecting information, they are providing guidance for the X-Men and other heroes to fight back against the Apocalypse Knight.

The X-Men had dispersed to the place where the Apocalypse Knights appeared, and the Sky Eye Society who received the news also cooperated with this hunt.

The pioneers of the Mechanicus were already fighting the dangerous knights before the heroes arrived.

This is to limit and delay them.

Even the princes of the Sons of Hell have started to act. Before falling into a deep sleep, Merlin told his companions to maintain the current situation in the world. It is in the interests of the Sons of Hell not to cause major changes.

In short, no one wants the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to create more scares.

"hum"

In the distortion of the light of the Displacement Spell, a Folder with the physique of Wolverine, but wearing the robes of the Wild Mage and the cloak of Levitation, the Phoenix Apostle spell weapon appeared in a valley in the rolling hills of Romania. middle.

His condition at this time is not very good.

Although he still maintains the folded state of Wolverine and Strange, but because the mutant's self-healing ability was taken away by the apocalypse, he only has the combat power as a spellcaster left.

And Wolverine, without self-healing power, even though he still has the mind of a top hunter, it is already difficult to maintain high-intensity battles.

Even after the self-healing factor was pulled away, every time the Adamantium claws in the arm popped out, the spell weapon would bleed.

He is no longer Wolverine.

He lost his claws and his wildness.

But he's still Wolverine.

Even in such a bad situation, he still did not admit defeat, and the remaining X-Men have all been dispatched, but those young people are definitely not the opponents of the Apocalypse Knights.

Logan must continue to fight, he must fulfill his mission, he must protect those young people, and bring back the compatriots who were abducted by the apocalypse.

But before he can fight again, he has to find his strength again.

He knew that there was someone in this world who could help him.

"Romulus, come out!"

The spell weapon stood in the dark valley, and he shouted towards the end of the valley:

"You've always wanted me to inherit your crazy ideals, now I'm here, come out and meet me!"

The angry shout of the spell weapon echoed in the valley. This ghost place is like the evil scenery described in traditional Romanian stories, which makes any normal person who arrives here feel creepy.

This is the place where the ancestor wolves are entrenched.

Romulus, that is the ancestor of Wolverine, the legendary warrior, the reshaper of the Roman Empire, and the promoter of Logan's painful life.

In the past 200 years, behind every life tragedy Wolverine encountered, there was the figure of the ancestor wolf.

He is trying to shape himself, the best descendant, in his own way.

He wants to transform Logan into what he longs to see, an unfettered, unruly wild wolf king, so as to inherit the dark empire that Romulus built over a long period of time.

That is the real empire, rich and terrible legacy.

Although it is unknown, almost 75% of the criminal activities under the dark side of the world are related to the forces behind Romulus.

Logan has been resisting this fate.

But now, he decided to accept it.

"You've become weaker..."

After Logan called out for the third time, the mysterious progenitor wolf finally appeared.

He was still the same as the last time he appeared, with wild long hair and beard growing together, making this tall undead look like a raging lion.

He was wearing a linen robe, without the slightest dignity of the ruler of the dark empire.

But he doesn't care about that either.

He appeared on the stone above the valley like a ghost, with his hips akimbo, looking down at his most outstanding descendant in time, he said quite dissatisfied:

"You made yourself into such a ghost..."

"You don't need any magic to strengthen yourself, Logan, no, Jamie Hautley! The endless fury surging in your veins is where your real strength lies."

"Apocalypse pulled it out."

The spell weapon looked at the ancestor wolf, he shrugged and said:

"As for becoming like this, it is not what I hoped for. The phoenix fragments folded me and a young man who used magic. I am also eager to separate again, but before that, I must use this body to fight again!"

"hehe."

Zulang sneered, and said:

"You came to me because you wanted me to reactivate your self-healing factor and beast instinct. You never agreed with my philosophy from the bottom of your heart... You are a rebel, exuding a rebellious spirit from beginning to end. breath."

"But isn't that what you want to see?"

The spell weapon raised its arm, and under the robe, with the sound of blood and flesh being torn, silver steel claws popped out of the fist.

Losing the self-healing factor made the skin torn by Steel Claw unable to heal, and blood dripped continuously along the wound, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all.

He looked at the ancestor wolf, and said in a deep voice:

"I'm still that Logan!"

"You have spent 200 years planning countless tragedies and shattering my life, but you have never broken me, and you will never have this opportunity in the future!"

"You are already disgusted with yourself, you long for a peaceful death, free from the curse of eternal life, you hope to see someone who can carry your legacy...I will accept it, and I will be the next ancestor as you wish. Wolf."

"This is your consciousness?"

The ancestor wolf let out a hearty laugh after listening to Logan's declaration.

He looked down at Logan, and said:

"You only sacrificed yourself to save others. I don't see the possibility of you becoming me, but you are right. I didn't want to live 1,000 years ago."

Romulus raised his hands, and the four shaped claws popped out from the flesh, like a peerless sword honed by time.

He looked at his paws, and said:

"Eternal life, the desire for eternal life is like a pool of turbid stagnant water, tempting the ignorant to bury their heads in it, drink and drink, the poison of desire flows in the blood vessels, and what rushes is a future without passion at all."

"I'm longing for death, my blood... Come on, your self-healing factor has been completely taken away by Tianqi, and I can't activate it again."

"But if you can kill me, my power will be transferred to your body through death, so that you will no longer suffer from failure."

"kuang"

The ancestor wolf jumped down from a high place and landed in front of the spell weapon. When the ground cracked, he assumed a combat posture. He said to Logan, who was also hanging down:

"Kill me, and you can get everything you want...but I will not show mercy. According to our family tradition, the weak are not qualified to live!"

"I know, and I never expected you to show mercy."

Levitating cloak flapped in the wind behind his spell-weapon, and with wolf eyes he said:

"But a pack of wolves lives, and a lone wolf dies..."

"This is what a friend of mine taught me. It took me a long time to learn. I am not here to challenge you alone, Ancestral Wolf."

"Snapped"

The door of the mysterious house was pushed open behind Logan, and the little wolf girl holding the Muramasa demon knife, and the dark Wolverine Daken with arms moving came out of it one after the other.

Logan's two sons and daughters stood behind their father. They stared at the ancestor wolf with killing intent, staring at their ancestors, the source of their blood.

Seeing this scene, Zulang was not only not angry, but grinned extremely satisfied on that rough face.

"very good!"

The ancestor wolf moved his shoulders, his eyes began to turn red, and the wild and violent breath escaped from his tall body, he said:

"A wolf king without a pack of wolves is not qualified..."

"You finally understand, Logan, you finally understand. Then come on, kill me, end my curse, and take over my empire."

He laughed wildly and rushed towards the children in front of him, while Logan and his children waved their sharp claws and rushed towards their ancestors.

At the moment when the two passed by, in the gushing wind of blood, the ancestor wolf yelled freely:

"Proud wolves...roar!"

————————

"swish"

Frontier Queen Liana rushed out of the tumbling red light angrily. She was wearing black armor and carrying her Soul Slayer Sword. In the cold sea wind, she rushed to the beach of Utopia Island.

In front of her eyes, her brother Ganglishi was half kneeling there.

"Put it down!"

Liana screamed:

"Are you crazy? Stay away from that thing!"

In front of her eyes, on the beach where the sea was tumbling, Colossus was holding a two-handed war hammer with a strange shape in his hand.

The thing has a cylindrical hammer body with oval structures on both sides of the hammer body. The long hammer handle has no decoration, and it looks like a gravel hammer used by stonemasons.

Very simple, very ugly, like uncut rocks, but very powerful.

Like Nur Territory Breaker in Betty Rose's hands, and Greysos Will Destroyer in Steve Rogers' hands, the Dread Hammer in Colossus's hands also has purple arcs running on it.

This is one of Serpent's Dreadhammers, with a rather awkward name.

Gusi. World Crusher!

Just from the name, one can tell that the ability of this war hammer is to endow Venerable Sky Hammer with nearly infinite destructive power.

Facing the reprimand and obstruction from his biological sister, Colossus who had already held the Hammer of the Crusher shook his head. He stood up on the beach holding the hammer, and the power of fear was transmitted to the body of Colossus along with the hammer.

remodel.

That power was transforming this mutant, a layer of black-gray, thick armor wrapped with unique light covered the silver-white body of Colossus, he looked back at the border queen, his eyes radiated purple-red light.

He said:

"Before, you were the one who protected the weak me, sister."

"Now..."

"It's up to me to protect you."
