"Trash! All of you are useless trash!"
Aldrich Killian, also trapped in the "container maze," roared in frustration.
He couldn't understand why the situation, which had been progressing smoothly, had suddenly taken a turn for the worse, developing in a direction unfavorable to them.
Also, they clearly had an absolute advantage in numbers, but now they had to be played like fools by those suddenly appearing guys?
No, it wasn't because these people were stronger than the Fire Lizard Warriors, but because that woman in the sky was too much of a nuisance!
Aldrich Killian's eyes, burning with venomous fire, looked towards the graceful figure of Lorna Dane floating in mid-air, then he suddenly spewed a stream of flame from his mouth, "Go to hell!!"
But the next second, that flame was elegantly dodged by Lorna Dane with composure.
Seeing this, Aldrich Killian became even angrier, "Damn it, I'm going to kill you, you stinking bitch, today!!"
Aldrich Killian, somewhat losing his composure, quietly circled into Lorna Dane's blind spot, then directly transformed into his Fire Lizard Warrior form.
And his transformed body was actually two full sizes larger than other Fire Lizard Warriors, at least four or five meters tall.
"Eric, jump onto my hand."
"Huh? Boss, you… what do you want to do?"
His follower Eric Savin asked with a blank expression, vaguely sensing a dangerous aura.
Aldrich Killian pointed to Lorna Dane in mid-air and said with a sinister smile:
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be that woman's blind spot. I'll throw you over with all my might later. With the cover of night, that woman will definitely not react… You just need to take her out when you get close to her!!"
"This way, we won't have to keep fighting like trapped Beasts here."
To be able to think of this method in such a short time, Aldrich Killian's mind indeed worked quickly, but the risk was a bit high.
"Uh, Boss, what if you're wrong?"
Eric Savin asked, feeling a bit uncertain. After all, that green-haired girl had single-handedly succeeded in blocking their offensive and could crush them with containers at any time. It was impossible not to be afraid.
However, after seeing Aldrich Killian's fierce, almost man-eating gaze, Eric Savin, who had returned to human form, still obediently jumped into the other party's giant palm.
Whoosh—
Go!
Aldrich Killian used all his strength to throw Eric Savin out, and Eric Savin instantly flew out like a cannonball.
However, just as the latter's figure was about to approach Lorna Dane and he was transforming into a Fire Lizard Warrior with a sinister grin, two huge dark shadows suddenly flew in from both sides.
Thud—
Then, those two huge dark shadows closed like hands, directly sandwiching Eric Savin in the middle. They were, surprisingly, two giant containers.
"Uncle Logan, thank you for the reminder."
Lorna Dane softly thanked Logan, who was in the midst of fierce battle below. It was precisely because of his timely reminder that she was able to react promptly.
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
And the reason Logan was able to keenly detect the abnormality on Aldrich Killian's side while fighting was entirely due to the blessings of Khorne and Nurgle.
Especially after he became a "Dual Chosen," his physique and perception abilities were greatly enhanced.
So, almost as soon as Aldrich Killian made a move, he had already sensed the other party's true intention.
"Remember to leave that guy for me."
Logan showed a wild smile on his face, pointed through the containers in the direction of Aldrich Killian, then rushed like a Beast in front of Little Wolf Girl, sacrificing half of his body to be scorched by flames, forcefully trading one for two to take care of the two Fire Lizard Warriors opposite him.
…
prestige points +88, +24, +61…
Detected collectable souls, Warp soul count +1, +1
…
"Dad, are you okay?"
Little Wolf Girl, who was protected behind Logan at the critical moment, poked out her small head and asked with concern.
Although she knew her father had a much stronger self-healing ability than herself, being young, she couldn't help but feel worried.
Because she never wanted to taste the feeling of losing loved ones and friends again.
Compared to death, she was actually more afraid of loneliness!
"Don't worry, little one, your old man here was once widely recognized as the Wolverine who could never be killed!!"
Logan reached out to cover Little Wolf Girl's eyes, then used the Adamantium Claws on his other hand to directly remove the charred flesh and blood tissue from his chest, revealing the stark white Original Adamantium Skeleton underneath.
New flesh began to grow back at a visible speed, using this skeleton as a base.
In just a few breaths, that fatal injury, which would have sent anyone else to their next reincarnation, had already recovered almost completely.
Just as Logan had said, as long as this Original Adamantium Skeleton was not completely destroyed, and his self-healing ability remained functional, then theoretically no one could kill Logan!
This was precisely his greatest reliance!
So in the past, when Logan fought, he didn't care how serious his injuries would be… anyway, they would heal in no time, so why bother? Just take them down and it's over!
Over time, he developed a unique fighting style that was brutal and fierce, yet efficient and deadly, unique to him.
Now, with his body restored to its peak, Logan's fighting style gradually returned to its previous fierce demeanor, often using a life-for-a-life, insane fighting approach from the start.
Tell me, in this World, who wouldn't feel fear and dread when facing a madman who intends to trade lives with you from the get-go?!
The answer is that as of now, Logan has never encountered such an enemy.
Because… almost all the enemies he had fought against eventually died!
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!"
Watching the number of Fire Lizard Warriors gathered around him visibly decreasing, Aldrich Killian roared hysterically like a madman.
"Why, why, why was my originally flawless perfect plan suddenly ruined by these bastards?!"
Suddenly, Aldrich Killian remembered the crazy words Trevor Slattery had said to him before leaving— "Enjoy the time to come, your destiny has been predetermined. Fulfill the mission given to you by the Lord of Change, and you can go to the Warp to embrace a new life!!"
"Damn it, is it really as that madman said, my destiny has been… predetermined?"
"No, impossible, no one can control my destiny and choices, Tony Stark can't, Trevor Slattery can't either…"
Anger, unwillingness, fear, resentment, and a heavy, irresolvable sense of defeat… many complex emotions began to intertwine and solidify in Aldrich Killian's heart.
Aldrich Killian felt as if his whole being was about to be burned out by these emotions.
But at the moment, he could do nothing but this kind of impotent rage, with no way to vent.
That's right, even if he wanted to escape now, he couldn't.
Because the escape route behind him had already been blocked by dense containers at the beginning of the battle.
That stinking woman in mid-air who could freely control magnetism would definitely not let him escape.
What's more, how could he be willing to just watch his supposedly perfect plan fall apart, letting his years of preparation go to waste?
Perhaps even he himself hadn't realized that, just as Trevor Slattery had said before, his destiny had been in someone else's hands from the very beginning—and that person was precisely the Lord of Change, Tzeentch!
So, Aldrich Killian, consumed by rage, was forced to remain in place, enduring torment as he awaited the moment of his appearance.
Fortunately, this moment didn't make him wait too long.
A few minutes later, the thick container wall that had been blocking Aldrich Killian's path suddenly slowly split to both sides, revealing a wide passage.
At this point, only Aldrich Killian's solitary figure remained inside the "maze."
Outside the containers, dozens of huge corpses of Fire Lizard Warriors lay scattered, their deaths almost all different, mostly having two or three "brain holes" made by sharp blades on their heads.
"Laura, shall I deal with this next guy alone? You can just watch from behind."
Logan gently patted Little Wolf Girl's head with a tender expression. The latter nodded obediently, then took a few steps back and stopped.
However, the sharp Adamantium Claws between her fists remained unsheathed, as if she was constantly ready to rush up and help her father.
"Don't worry, Laura, Uncle Logan will definitely win."
Lorna Dane also slowly descended from the sky and landed beside Little Wolf Girl. Like a caring big sister, she gently put an arm around her shoulder.
Previously, in Yuckley Genetics' secret laboratory, these experimental children comforted each other in this way, ultimately surviving one dehumanizing death test after another.
And Logan, seeing the worried look on his daughter's face, felt both amused and touched.
Is this little girl worried about my strength?
Isn't she underestimating me too much?
No matter what, I am… the Wolverine!
However, Logan was now increasingly feeling the irreplaceable warmth and emotion that "family" brought him!
It was precisely because of this that he cherished the hard-won happiness he now had even more.
In a word: work hard for the boss, enjoy a happy life!
"Finally, it's my turn… I've been waiting inside for quite a while now."
Aldrich Killian said nothing, directly transforming into his Fire Lizard Warrior form. His mountain-like tall figure was instantly enveloped in a fiery red glow.
The terrifying temperature of up to three thousand degrees instantly made the surrounding air incredibly hot, and even the temperature of the entire dock rose by several degrees.
After gaining the enhancement of the Lizard · Cross-Species Gene Serum, he could now not only use the Extremis Virus to unleash high-temperature abilities for extended periods without restraint.
Moreover, during this process, he didn't have to worry about being affected by emotions or other factors, leading to self-detonation.
The next second, Aldrich Killian, like a high-temperature giant Beast, charged straight towards Logan.
He desperately wanted to vent all the anger in his heart on this unkempt old man in front of him.
Logan met him head-on without showing weakness, "Believe me, the battle will end very quickly… As long as I chop off your head, you should become more patient, right?"
A few seconds later, the two figures, one large and one small, finally collided heavily.
Thud—
Aldrich Killian's arm, which was as hot as magma and swung down, was actually cut in half by Logan's sharp Adamantium Claws.
The half of the arm that fell to the ground immediately melted the concrete floor, then slowly sank beneath the surface, disappearing.
In contrast, the Original Adamantium Claws on Logan's fists were not affected by the high temperature at all, not even showing any signs of melting.
However, Aldrich Killian reacted very quickly. Upon realizing his arm was severed, he directly swung his huge tail, powerfully sending Logan flying.
Bang—
Logan slammed heavily into the opposite container, the immense impact causing a large area of indentation on the originally sturdy container.
At the same time, a large portion of the flesh from Logan's waist up was instantly carbonized by the scorching high temperature during that strike. If not for the Original Adamantium Skeleton inside remaining indestructible, his body would have been severed in two long ago.
"Dad!!"
Seeing this, Little Wolf Girl's tender face immediately showed a look of tension. She then bared her silver teeth, preparing to rush towards the "red giant lizard" that had injured her father to settle the score.
However, before she could make a move, she was firmly pulled back by Lorna Dane, who shook her head slightly at her and said:
"Don't worry, Laura, Uncle Logan will definitely be fine… If I'm not mistaken, he's probably deliberately demonstrating the correct way to fight a strong enemy, isn't he?"
And while the two women were talking, Logan, who had just been sent flying, had already walked out of the heavily dented container as if nothing had happened.
