327. Kang the Conqueror!

327. Kang the Conqueror!

Hearing Logan's words, Mr. Fantastic didn't know what to say for a moment.

Logically speaking, as a superhero who traveled back from the future, every request Logan made had a deeper meaning. Whatever he was doing must have a reason behind it, since he came from the future.

As a smart man, Mr. Fantastic knew that the best thing to do now was not to interfere, but to let Logan complete his mission. But because Reed Richards was one of the smartest people in the world, he couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. It seemed like Wolverine was stumbling around, unsure of what he was supposed to do.

If Logan's goal was truly to change the future, he should have traveled to an earlier point in time—before Red Skull launched his attack—so he could warn the heroes and thwart the supervillains' plan. But Logan didn't choose that option. He had come directly to this moment, even though not even Mr. Fantastic could confirm how many superheroes were still alive.

The connection to the X-Men headquarters quickly cut off. Staring at the screen flashing "No Signal," Logan stood there in a daze, looking utterly lost.

"How... how is this possible...?"

Logan's eyes filled with terror. He looked up, panic-stricken, and shouted at Mr. Fantastic, "What's the date today?!"

Without waiting for an answer, he pulled up the system calendar himself. As he stared at the date displayed on the screen, Logan suddenly realized—it was already the next day. In his memory, the X-Men had been wiped out by his own hands late last night.

Realizing this, Logan's heart sank into despair. He collapsed into a chair, his mind going completely blank.

"Hey, Logan, are you okay?" Mr. Fantastic asked, unsure how to comfort the shaken Wolverine. It seemed that Logan had arrived at the wrong time.

Logan closed his eyes in pain. The reason he had volunteered to be the one to travel through time was simple: he wanted to go back and change everything.

Yes, even if it meant creating a new parallel universe, Logan didn't care. He couldn't bear the thought that he had killed his own comrades with his own hands. For him, it was an inescapable nightmare. But now, his hope was shattered. He had arrived too late.

While Logan sat in despair, two versions of Herbie—the one from the future and the present—stood together.

(This unit is identical to Herbie but shows signs of 45 years of decay and damage.)

"Forty-five years!?" The Invisible Woman looked at Herbie in shock, then turned her gaze to Wolverine, who still looked as young as ever. "Why hasn't Logan changed at all?"

Logan was no longer the old man with gray hair. He had returned to his youthful form, his once aged body now filled out with strong muscles again. But his eyes still carried the weight of his experiences.

"Perhaps it's related to the flow of time. If time is circulating within him, it might have rejuvenated him. Or maybe it has to do with his healing factor," Mr. Fantastic speculated, rubbing his temples. "But now's not the time to discuss this."

(Data transmission in progress...)

(Receiving data...)

The two Herbies quickly began sharing all the data from the next 45 years through Baxter Building's autonomous wireless network, including the events that were about to unfold.

(It appears the future was overtaken by supervillains, but heroes from another world saved the day. Logan came here to find the Ultimate Nullifier to prepare for Galactus.)

The present Herbie processed the data and immediately relayed the information.

"No way..." The Invisible Woman's heart sank. "Does that mean we'll never be able to rally a counterattack and save the world?"

Caught off guard, Kang quickly retaliated by blasting Logan away with a neutrino beam.

"So, it's you, the old wolf. Your little time jump was pointless, just like the already dead Thing and Human Torch. After you killed all the X-Men, you should've stayed hidden, not come here playing hero."

"Say that again, I dare you," Logan growled, gritting his teeth as his eyes blazed red with fury.

The sacrifice of the X-Men had always been Logan's nightmare. Kang bringing it up felt like twisting a knife in his heart. Unlike some heroes who abstained from killing, Logan never hesitated. His mind was now filled with murderous intent.

"Did that sting? Poor old wolf. Maybe you're a threat to others, but to the great Kang, you're nothing but a stray dog."

Logan roared in response, leaping high into the air. His claws sliced through the wind, aiming for Kang's throat. Logan could almost visualize the moment when he'd behead Kang. But the next second, an immense force struck him. His claws stopped just ten centimeters from Kang's neck.

Logan saw a burst of intense purple light before a wave of unbearable pain spread throughout his body, as if someone were carving letters into his bones with a knife.

"Electromagnetic amplifiers are quite painful, aren't they? Especially for someone filled with metal like you."

Kang laughed heartily, feeling that victory was already his. He taunted Logan, treating him like a mere toy.

At that moment, strange markings on Logan's body began to glow fiercely. These were high-dimensional protective spells, created by the great demon of the Trinity. Not just one, but all the enchantments on Logan's body activated in response to his extreme pain.

A powerful explosion rocked the room, and a blast of energy immediately short-circuited the tech systems in Kang's armor.

"How... is this possible?!"

Kang staggered back in shock. For someone accustomed to dealing with strange energies, he had never felt anything like this before. His armor temporarily malfunctioned.

Kang's strength didn't come from himself—it was derived from his advanced technology and deep knowledge. He always carried an array of gadgets to handle any threat. But now, he had encountered a force within Logan that he had never anticipated.

At that moment, Kang realized that following Logan here had been a colossal mistake.

Logan's claws pierced through Kang's body, and with a ferocious roar, he drove the Conqueror backward, pinning him against the wall.

The impact sent violent tremors through the room. Blood spurted from Kang's mouth, staining his high-tech suit. His gaze was filled with a complex mix of emotions as he glared at Logan, bewildered by the strange magical energy that coursed through his opponent's body.

Kang could swear that, as a time traveler, this magic wasn't native to this timeline.

"You... you think... you've won?"

As Logan, still snarling, locked eyes with him, Kang gathered his last reserves of strength and activated the time device on his arm. At the same time, his other hand gripped Logan's arm tightly.

"No one insults the great Kang. You're coming with me!"

Terrifying purple light erupted from beneath them as a time rift opened, engulfing both Kang and Logan entirely.
