Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 676 Two Wolverines (Three in One)

"You mean, an organization founded by mutants is recruiting mutants to fight against those ambitious people hiding in the dark?"

"That sounds unbelievable."

Luo Xi activated the taxi's soul and made it move towards the target location autonomously. Darwin, who was originally lively and cheerful, no longer had to concentrate on driving and gradually opened up his mouth.

He is still immersed in an unrealistic trance. Darwin is so afraid that he will suddenly wake up and realize that everything is just a beautiful dream.

The money in his bank card is enough for him to live a carefree life.

No one cares whether he is a mutant or not, because for a billionaire, the identity of a mutant is not worth mentioning at all.

This is the nature of this country. You can be black, yellow, or even a mutant, but you cannot be poor.

Among the homeless people everywhere, there are also many white people who are similar to the elites.

Darwin felt that what Luo Xi mentioned was a bit far-fetched. He was no longer in his middle school years and was just a poor office worker who earned a little money by soliciting customers on the street.

If someone really wants to destroy the world, maybe this is a good thing. At least his mutant ability ensures that he can live comfortably even in the harsh environment of a nuclear doomsday.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were hit by two nuclear bombs during World War II, have long since recovered their natural ecology.

Life will always find a way, and under natural selection, new ecosystems can emerge even in the wasteland after a nuclear explosion.

But since it was Roche who said it, Darwin naturally did everything he said.

People like him have simple thinking. He will listen to whoever treats him well, and Luo Xi obviously gave too much.

"I've seen similar plots in those superhero comics sold on the streets, and I never thought that one day I would be able to join them."

Darwin started to mutter to himself, while Luo Xi listened quietly.

What the black mutant did not realize was that the blood sample that Roche had taken had disappeared in the car and appeared in the secret base on Mars.

Already eager for more, Cawl and other Stoneman researchers set up a new analysis project. The analysis of Darwin's abilities is even more important than that of Magneto and Professor X.

The taxi arrived at a remote bar dozens of kilometers away. According to Charles' information, the person that Luo Xi was thinking about was there.

"James Logan Howlett, nicknamed Wolverine."

"It's just that at this point in time, he hasn't become the so-called 'Wolverine', he hasn't become the subject of the Weapon X program, and his bones haven't been coated with an indestructible adamantium."

"He has an almost immortal self-healing ability, and is immune to most fatal injuries. This feature makes it almost impossible to kill him after his skeleton is coated with adamantium."

Roche is very optimistic about Logan's abilities, including super self-healing and keen senses. These two abilities have a high degree of overlap with the Laraman cell transformation and genetic detection nerves that the Astartes need to undergo.

However, although Astartes is the Emperor's superman with a strong self-regeneration ability, he is still far from Wolverine who is almost immortal.

Astartes, who possesses Wolverine's self-regeneration ability, will show terrifying dominance when facing enemies on the battlefield.

Although the Astartes have extremely strong survivability due to many genetic modification surgeries and the protection of advanced power armor, their bodies are still too fragile compared to those evil enemies.

The corruption of the Warp Demons, the phased weapons of the Necrons, the psionic weapons of the Eldar, and even the green-skinned orcs' scrap metal with the power of thought can easily break through the protection of the power armor and attack the flesh and blood body.

Luo Xi pushed open the car door and walked straight towards the somewhat shabby bar.

Darwin immediately followed diligently. In his eyes, Roche had now become a truly omnipotent figure who could grant him astronomical sums that he could never earn in his entire life with just a wave of his hand.

In front of Luo Xi, a burly man was sitting at the bar with a pitcher of beer on the counter, slowly smoking a half-empty cigar.

Seeing that familiar face, the vague memories in Luo Xi's mind suddenly became clear.

He sat directly next to Logan and asked the bartender to bring him a beer.

Darwin was well versed in observing people's words and expressions. It was obvious that the mysterious adult's target was the man with a beard and thick sideburns in front of him.

He immediately sat on the other side of Logan and asked the bartender for a beer.

Darwin could tell that Logan was someone who was not easy to mess with. Although he didn't have any tattoos, or any steel nails or piercings that looked ferocious, he had an aura that kept strangers away.

He might not be able to beat the other party, but if Luo Xi and Logan fought, he could at least hold him back for a while.

His abilities may not be suitable for attacking, but when it comes to taking a beating he is very tough and resilient.

Logan glanced at the stranger beside him out of the corner of his eye, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, but he just smoked his cigar and took a sip of beer from time to time.

The three of them sat there quietly for half an hour. Even the other drinkers noticed that the atmosphere was not right and instinctively moved away.

Some people were holding wine glasses, looking like they were waiting to see a good show.

Some drinkers have even started betting on the odds of both sides and cheering each other on.

"Do you want to get out by yourself, or be thrown out by me?"

Logan drank the wine in his glass and casually pressed the remaining cigar head into the palm of his hand.

The high temperature sparks instantly made a sizzling sound on the flesh and blood, and a smell of burnt protein spread. Logan's tired but cold gaze shifted to Luo Xi.

This is a simple statement. If an ordinary thug saw a ruthless person like Logan using his hand as an ashtray, he would probably think twice about himself.

For a mutant like Wolverine who can heal himself, being able to drive away and intimidate some annoying minions is a pretty good deal.

However, Luo Xi was unmoved, he was not here to fight.

"I'd like to ask you for a favor." Luo Xi said.

Logan's face turned cold and he twisted the cigar head into pieces.

"I'm in a good mood now. Say it a second time."

"I'm not fucking interested in anything, leave me alone!"

Luo Xi sighed softly. He was indeed the irritable Wolverine. His temper...

He placed his hand gently on Logan's wrist.

Seeing that this ignorant brat was about to take action, Logan's patience reached its limit.

His temper has improved, but his nature is still that unruly wolf.

The tangled muscles instantly exerted force, and the terrifying explosive power was like a beast breaking out of a cage.

He wanted to teach this guy a lesson and stop saying nonsense.

But the next second, Logan's expression changed immediately.

He felt like his right hand was being clamped tightly by an industrial hydraulic press and he couldn't move it no matter how hard he tried.

It's broken! This is a prepared one.

His rich war experience immediately made him make changes. The bone claws in his hands shot out and pierced through the wooden table below.

"Mutants!"

"It's those freaks!"

The people around them screamed in surprise instantly, and those who were originally watching the fun also realized that something was wrong and immediately thought of running away.

Logan let out a wolf-like roar, and his hard bone claws pierced through the wooden table and stabbed towards Luo Xi's body.

Although he was angry, he still knew his limits and only attacked non-vital parts of Luo Xi's body.

If he killed someone here, the peaceful days that Logan had waited for so hard would be shattered.

Having experienced the Civil War, World War I, World War II, and the Korean War, Logan was exhausted by war both physically and mentally. He had just escaped from the jungle of Vietnam not long ago.

The war did not leave any scars on Logan's body, but his heart was already scarred. Now he just wants to live a peaceful life.

"You have extraordinary talents, but why do you make yourself like a beast?"

"Leman Russ would be very happy to see you."

"He has always complained to me that his legion has never produced a heir who can rival the likes of Sigismund and Corswein during the Great Crusade."

"The only one the Space Wolves can show off is Bjorn."

Logan didn't understand what the Leman Russ this Oriental man was talking about. It was just bullshit. He was just horrified and felt like he almost lost control of his body.

He could now only feel the part of his body above his neck, while the part below his neck was completely numb.

Logan's ferocity remained undiminished. He bared his sharp teeth and roared at Roxi like a mad wolf.

His slightly curly sideburns really looked like a wolf's ears.

Luo Xi has used his psychic power to stop the crowd around him. Everyone seems to be frozen in time, and even the expressions on their faces remain those of horror.

Darwin was even more like he had seen a ghost. He felt his body in fear, but found that he was not stuck like those passers-by.

"I have temporarily severed your spinal nerves, so you can no longer issue commands to your body."

"Put it in something understandable. You are temporarily paralyzed now."

Luo Xi said slowly, and then took out another syringe from his body.

Unlike the one Darwin used, the syringe he prepared for Logan was an animal syringe, the huge size of which was enough to scare away some timid people.

"I just want a little blood from you. If you run into any trouble in the future, you can come to me."

Luo Xi promised, but Logan obviously didn't appreciate it at all and continued to curse the person in front of him.

"You should learn some manners, Logan."

The huge needle pierced Wolverine's body, and then a fierce stream of blood rushed into the container.

Luo Xi drew more than 500 milliliters of blood, and then pulled out a few strands from Logan's proud beard and packed them away.

"You son of a bitch bastard! Let me go, act like a man, and let's fight!"

He didn't care about the blood he lost. He had shed more blood on the battlefield, but he was still alive and well.

Logan just felt humiliated. The battle-hardened veteran looked even weaker and more helpless than a lamb to be slaughtered in front of this man.

He hated this feeling of powerlessness.

"I originally wanted to cooperate with you. I'll take a little of your blood, and in exchange I'll help you deal with those enemies who have been bothering you, and even let you live in peace in the future." Luo Xi said.

"You don't know your own value yet, and how many enemies you will attract. If you were the one being transformed and hunted by Stryker, you might understand the value of my words."

Cooperation like Darwin would be good for both parties, but unfortunately Logan has never been a man who follows the rules, and he has the blood of a beast in his bones.

"Quiet!"

Luo Xi was also a little annoyed by the noise of this unruly old wolf, so he used his psychic power to physically silence him.

Logan's throat was locked and he couldn't even breathe. His whole face turned purple and even his brain felt dizzy and his vision went black.

However, with his powerful self-healing ability, it would not be a big problem even if he was suffocated all the time.

Anyway, he had already obtained Wolverine's genetic sample and would not need him in the short term, so Roxi simply planned to erase this not-so-good memory and pretend that nothing had happened.

Logan watched Luo Xi's hand getting closer and closer. His consciousness suddenly became dizzy and he was about to fall into a coma.

An invisible pair of hands modified and erased the experience that had just happened in his mind.

This is not something that can be resisted by pure willpower. The power gap between Logan and Roche is already so great that it is unattainable.

Just as Luo Xi was modifying Logan's memory, he suddenly noticed an extremely subtle abnormality.

In this space-time structure, time quietly ripples, and countless strings in the microscopic world are quietly plucked.

Luo Xi suddenly became serious. How could such a thing dare to play tricks under his nose?
He stretched out his psychic hand and grasped the uninvited guest who had disrupted the normal flow of time.

However, that being seemed to have anticipated that it would be intercepted by Roche, and it took the lead in entering the body of Wolverine Logan at an incredibly fast speed.

The next second, Logan, whose mind was being controlled by Roxi and whose memory was being modified, suddenly opened his eyes.

Completely different from the hatred and anger he had felt towards Luo Xi before, this Logan, while also filled with anger, was more filled with awe, vicissitudes of life, and exhaustion. It was like he was a completely different person.

Luo Xi raised his eyebrows and understood what this thing was.

This is the soul of Logan from the future, who came to this point in time through the special abilities of those mutants.

Reversing the future has come to him?
"Stop it, let's talk."

Logan still couldn't feel his body below the neck, but he seized the moment and spoke quickly before Roxie knocked him out again.

"Which time point are you from?" Luo Xi asked.

Although he remembered that the mutants did try the "Reverse the Future Plan" in order to reverse the dark future in which they were slaughtered by the Sentinel robots.

But if he remembered correctly, Logan went back to 1973 and found Professor X and the Beast.

Logan told them the tragic ending of the future and asked them to stop Mystique from assassinating Trask, so that the Sentinel robots would never appear.

The current time point is 1962. Obviously, something happened that he didn't know about, disrupting the original plot and timeline.

"tyrant."

"The Great Dictator."

"The savior of mankind."

Logan, who came from the future, did not answer Luo Xi's question, but just looked at Luo Xi with a complicated expression.

Luo Xi analyzed a lot of information from these simple words.

"Let's go somewhere else to talk. This isn't a good place to talk."

Roche removed the restraints on Wolverine's spinal nerves and restored his mobility, while Darwin, who had been stunned for a long time, quickly followed.

He only felt that his worldview was constantly being subverted. Not only did his new boss spend money with a string of numbers in his bank card, he also seemed to be an incredibly powerful mutant.

Seeing the scene of Roche freezing time and playing with other people's brain memories, Darwin suddenly felt that the money in his bank account seemed boring.

In front of such a strong man, what is the point of having a lot of money?

No matter how much money you have, can it stop time?

The three of them got into Darwin's taxi together. At Luo Xi's signal, the machine soul immediately started to move the car body and drove towards the empty and deserted wilderness.

This Logan was extremely vicissitudes of life. He looked at the street trees and human buildings flashing by outside the window and couldn't help feeling emotional.

"In the future, everything is gone, the Earth has become a wasteland, and we are forced to fight for survival."

"Even this wilderness scene has become one of the few precious memories in my brain, telling me what the earth should have been like before, and then I will tell those young children."

"Now that I'm back, I can definitely change all this!"

Logan obviously brought bad news. Luo Xi frowned. He felt that the earth in this universe was beginning to be out of his control.

If he still controls the Earth in the future, he will never let this home planet of mankind fall into war.

Whether it is the special status of the Earth for mankind or the positioning of the Earth as a biological laboratory in Roche's eyes, it is destined that it must be safe no matter what.

He did not rely on his psychic powers to perform prophecy and divination, because once he glimpsed the predicted future, the original things he saw would change accordingly, and he was not good at predicting the future.

"Something happened in the future that forced you to reverse the future and try to change everything from the upstream of the timeline."

"You call me a tyrant and a dictator. It seems that you know my background and plans?"

Luo Xi had never intended to hide the secret from Charles and the others forever, it was just that now was not the right time.

When he thinks the time is right, Roche will tell Charles and others about his origins and the dark fate that all humans in the multiverse face.

The Warhammer Universe was invaded by Chaos just a little earlier than other universes.

As long as the sea of ​​subspace connects all universes, then the lucky ones like the X-Men universe, which are still safe now, will sooner or later face their own catastrophe.

Perhaps it is the Four Chaos Gods, or perhaps there are other beings in the depths of the Warp that are filled with greed and malice towards everything.

"Yes, at our time, you have already confessed your origins to the world."

"Your origins, your mission, and why your methods are so cruel and extreme."

"The Warhammer Universe, your hometown, is a world filled with war and death."

Wolverine stated in an extremely calm tone that he also hated Roche, but later they helplessly discovered that Roche was right.

"You treated the Earth as your natural laboratory and used it as an experimental field to continuously harvest new mutants."

"Jean, Poppy, Eric, Charles, and Daqun. You got genetic samples from each of them. You used them as materials to create the monsters known as the Primaris Astartes..."

"Even powerful Omega-class mutants were ruthlessly suppressed by your army of genetically modified warriors and the army of hateful iron men."

"Charles and Eric are against me too?" Luo Xi was not surprised by what Logan said. This was indeed something he could do.

The Omega-level mutant's X-gene is something he is determined to obtain.

"Yes and no," said Wolverine.

"The professor has always wanted to bring you back to the time when you fought alongside mutants. He mediates between mutants and you. He doesn't want to be your enemy."

"What about Eric?" asked Roxie.

"Him?" A hint of sneer appeared on Logan's face. "He still couldn't forget to build a country that belonged to mutants. He built a floating island country on the high seas of the Pacific Ocean, and used it as a foundation to recruit mutants from all over the world to join him."

"This is indeed something Eric is capable of doing, but I overestimated him. I thought that with his ability, he could definitely expand humanity's footprints into the deep galaxy."

"His vision only sees an island nation floating on the high seas of the Pacific Ocean, but he does not have a heart to move towards independence and autonomy in space."

"There are so many ownerless planets in the universe. With his control over the magnetic field, he can completely transform a dead planet into a vibrant life planet, and even use the magnetic force as a slingshot to start a journey to a wandering planet."

Logan imagined that if Eric was really like the Magneto described by Roche, perhaps mutants could really become the first advanced race to leave their home planet and explore the universe.

Compared to the man in front of them, both Eric and Charles have too narrow a vision.

“When the human upper class learned that you came from another human civilization, another [Empire], they developed a great fear and resistance towards you.

The president and his men even went so far as to try to win over the X-School and Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants in order to gain the power to fight you."

"Because you come from another regime, you are naturally hostile to them, and you are much stronger than them.

For the sake of the position and power under their buttocks, they even united with the bears across the sea. "

Luo Xi stroked his chin, and some fine stubble had appeared again.

So far, the situation mentioned by Wolverine Logan has not exceeded his expectations.

"What about the war? Are you at war with me?"

“There is no war. The confrontation between us cannot be called a war in terms of intensity or scale.

Because if an all-out war really broke out, the Earth would have been destroyed long ago.

This is more like a race in technology and arms, where you are putting pressure on the world and pushing the limits of mutants’ abilities and human intelligence.”

There was a glimmer of understanding in Luo Xi's eyes.

He already understood what that "himself" was thinking.

Ever since he passed through the Well of Eternity and spanned the vast distance of time and space to come to the X-Men universe, he has been carefully hiding his existence, fearing that there are some threats in the universe that he has not noticed.

As for the familiar Earth, he also took a laissez-faire attitude and only interfered with its development to a limited extent.

He did not make drastic changes to it, or even incorporate it into the human empire.

He helps Charles improve the situation of mutants and helps them fight against Sebastian Shaw, the black king who attempts to start a world war.

The fundamental purpose of doing this is to ensure the smooth operation of Earth, a laboratory that continuously trains mutants for him.

But after the mutants and mortals on Earth learned of Roxi's origins and intentions, all of this obviously could no longer be maintained perfectly.

Those bigwigs were reluctant to give up the power in their hands. In their eyes, Roche was simply an invader sent by the so-called "Human Empire" in order to incorporate their Earth into its territory and rule it.

For justice and freedom, they will never surrender.

The mutants, led by Eric and Charles, are also unwilling to be just laboratory rats.

They fought back hard against Roche and wanted to destroy Roche's "evil ambition" to enslave them.

"So that's how it is. I have become the public enemy." Luo Xi suddenly laughed out loud.

The same is true for Logan. After he experienced those extremely painful things, he chose to follow Professor Charles. Only in X Academy could he feel the peace of his soul.

"Perhaps at that time, I was tired of letting the timeline continue step by step, and under my pressure, the mutants united with humans, which made me see more possibilities."

"It is only when the human species is under pressure from external forces that they will put aside their internal struggles and unite to fight against external enemies."

"When mutants are fighting against an invincible enemy, they will undoubtedly take the initiative and work hard to tap their potential."

"Thank you for your reminder. My original idea was indeed a bit too boring and conservative."

Luo Xi sincerely thanked Wolverine who came from the future.

Logan suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something wrong, because in his timeline, Roche had always maintained a good relationship with the mutants until the arrival of the new millennium, when he made his origins and plans public.

It was during that period that humans and mutants united under his pressure to fight together against an almost undefeatable enemy.

And now, because of his arrival and interference, it seems that Luo Xi's mind has changed?

This isn't going to backfire!
As if seeing through Logan's confusion, Luo Xi explained enthusiastically.

"You will also be punished by time for playing with time. Even I am reluctant to touch the timeline, but you are so reckless."

"It's a good thing that the rules of this universe are tolerant enough, otherwise just your behavior of jumping up and down on the timeline would be enough to bring disaster upon yourself."

When talking about this, Roxi thought of Perturabo and Dorn in his mind, and wondered what the current situation of these two Primarchs was.

They were all cursed by time, especially Perturabo.

"Go on, if you want to tell me anything else besides this, I guess you wouldn't be stupid enough to try to persuade me to give up my plan at this point in time. You should have something else to warn me about."

Logan nodded, indeed.

"I have experienced the history of the mutants fighting against you once. To be honest, I did hate you very much. I thought you were just an ambitious person like everyone else, trying to enslave mutants and humans."

"It was only later that we realized how wrong we were. You simply don't care about this little piece of land on Earth, nor do you care about these few billion people.

In your eyes, those in power are no different from the monkey king of a group of monkeys. You are not here for power at all."

Logan's smile was unusually bitter. They had always thought that they were fighting for freedom, but in fact, no one had the intention of enslaving them.

What era is this? We are still playing with slavery.

"Because of your threats and pressure, humans and mutants united together and worked hard to promote the development of technology until we discovered the so-called [subspace]."

"That is the Sea of ​​Souls, the source of mutant power, and the projection of our spiritual emotions in the virtual world."

"In order to fight you, in the warp, several of our Omega-class mutants found some ancient beings, and they called themselves... the Celestials."

"The gods possess incomparably terrifying power. We are delighted to think that we can use their power to fight against you, a tyrannical tyrant."

"Unfortunately, we were wrong. We were so wrong. Those beasts were not good people at all."

"They are not worthy of the title of God. We failed to find reinforcements and instead attracted a new group of powerful enemies."

　Actually, I made dumplings just for Wolverine.
