American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 647 Clash of Honor

The palace interior was filled with a cold, hard metallic feel and faint energy fluctuations. The tall columns were engraved with the emblem of Doom, and soft light shone in from behind the Doom throne, casting long, thin shadows on the ground.

Captain Britain, Warlord Hulk, Apocalypse, and many other lords have arrived and are reporting the number of troops they have brought. This is not the first time Doom has requested the mobilization of troops.

When the Battle Realm was first established, it was God-King Doom who single-handedly quelled the turmoil in the entire world. He personally drove away a large number of zombies, while the Annihilation Zerg and Ultron's mechanical army were defeated by the combined efforts of many heroes and villains.

During those two wars, Lord Doom personally executed many ambitious individuals who either deceived their superiors and concealed their true strength, or heroes who cared deeply for their subjects and were overly compassionate, thus thoroughly establishing his authority.

Soon, all the lords had finished reporting, and God-King Doom nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with the speed and number of troops mobilized by everyone.

Seeing that almost everyone had finished reporting, Logan's gaze passed over Thor, who stood solemnly in the hall, and precisely locked onto that damned Red Skull.

He suppressed his anger, tugged at the hem of the Wasteland White Queen's robe, and stared directly at her face with eyes burning with rage. The hatred had been building up for so long that even Emma herself was somewhat frightened.

The White Queen nodded in agreement, and Rune looked at Logan with satisfaction.

This is the Wolverine he remembers!

Just as Professor X was about to lead Logan forward to meet Lord Doom, Rune stopped them.

"I'll do it."

Charles nodded and smiled as he watched the sorcerer lead Wolverine by the hand, walking forward step by step.

Rune's physical strength easily pushed aside those blocking his way. The lords were initially quite dissatisfied with this, as this formation was already a convention, but upon seeing Rune, they immediately fell silent.

This guy was specifically warned by that god; his strength is unfathomable, so we mustn't offend him.

Some lords even stepped aside to make way for Rune and Wolverine, and the other lords followed suit, quickly creating a narrow passage in front of God-King Doom.

Soon, Rune brought Logan to the God-King. Doom recognized the man at a glance. Although he had some white hair, the God-King knew all those who had challenged him but survived.

Or, to use a more offensive term, Lord Doom is essentially a petty person.

"I remember you, Old Wolf." The voice came from beneath the white mask, yet it wasn't hoarse at all. "I once forgave you for your sin of defying the gods, so why do you dare to appear before me now?"

"Great God, I have not come here to disobey your grace," Logan knelt on one knee and bowed his head.

Rather, I wish to request your grace.

Rune looked at Logan, his expression complicated. Time had indeed left its mark on this man.

If this were the Wolverine from the DC universe, he wouldn't even beg for Doom's favor, let alone kneel down and beg for it. He would have been tempted to pounce on this so-called god upon seeing him.

Lord Doom tilted his head. "Speak, what do you want from me?"

"I want a duel of honor." Logan's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against wood, as he looked at the Red Skull with a flippant smile on his lips.

Red Skull clearly recognized Logan's identity, his eyes seeming to admire an interesting toy.

Following Logan's gaze, the God-King found the Red Skull. His superior intelligence allowed Doom to instantly understand the reason behind it. Then, he gave Rune a deep look.

Hmph, the plot of a kid who admires Wolverine reawakening the crippled Logan is so cliché! But—

That's quite interesting, isn't it?

"A duel of honor?" Lord Doom's voice carried an undeniable authority. "Once Red Skull agrees, the two of you will engage in a battle where no outsiders can interfere, until one of you dies—are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Logan raised his head, gritting his teeth as he pointed his steel claws at Red Skull. "It's this bastard. He's the one who turned the wasteland into a river of blood, causing countless people to lose their homes. He's the one who killed my son and my comrades—I'll settle this score with my own hands!"

"A duel for honor?" Red Skull suddenly sneered, his laughter sharp and grating. "You, a withered old man? Logan, do you think you're still the invincible Wolverine you once were?"

"Back then, you offended the great God Lord Doom, and most of your self-healing ability was taken away. Now, you probably can't even resist the metal poisoning of Adamantium, right?"

Red Skull took two steps forward, looking down at Logan with arrogance and disdain: "You're nothing but a stray dog ​​struggling to survive in the wasteland. You want to challenge me? You're not qualified! Be smart and go back to your wretched place to die. Maybe I'll be merciful and leave you a whole corpse!"

"Enough!" Doom said impatiently, finding the smug look on the red skull figure rather disgusting.

The red skull sensed the god's displeasure and immediately knelt down as well, saying, "God, please calm your anger!"

"Red Skull, will you accept or refuse?"

Lord Doom's question made the despicable fellow's eyes dart around twice, before he loudly proclaimed, "I am willing to accept this duel of honor!"

God-King Doom snapped his fingers, and a gentle energy wave swept towards Rune. Rune did not resist, but took a few steps back. Then, a pale blue wall appeared out of thin air, surrounding Red Skull and Wolverine.

This is clearly the battleground for the honor duel.

"Logan, I've been looking for you for ages!" As soon as he finished speaking, Red Skull charged at Logan, his shield radiating a white energy that spread out with his charge.

Logan didn't speak, but crossed his arms and, after successfully withstanding the energy wave, thrust his steel claws straight at Red Skull's face. Red Skull dodged to the side, his shield sweeping across, barely blocking Logan's attack; sparks flew as metal clashed.

Using this attack, Red Skull distanced himself from Logan, his shield still waving continuously. Each attack was imbued with white energy, leaving the hall floor cratered and scattering debris.

Relying on his years of fighting instincts, Logan kept dodging, and the self-healing ability granted by the liquid Rune had given him was constantly recovering. The white hair on his head was decreasing at a visible rate, and the wrinkles on his face were being smoothed out.

Red Skull, however, only saw that he had overpowered Wolverine and was extremely proud of himself, but he did not realize that his fighting skills were far inferior to Logan's.

The other lords present had initially wanted to watch something amusing, but upon seeing this, they immediately lost interest—Red Skull was doomed to lose!

Sure enough, after a few moves, Logan seized the opening in the energy attack, rushed towards Red Skull with all his might, and slashed his steel claws hard at Red Skull's arm.

"Ah!" Red Skull screamed as a deep, bone-revealing gash was slashed across his arm, instantly staining his nemesis's Stars and Stripes uniform with blood.

Just because you put on a uniform and shield and take the super soldier serum doesn't mean you can fight like Captain America.
