American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Chapter 151 Immortality (4000 words)

Upon hearing Roy's answer, a hint of helplessness flashed across Wolverine's face.

A year ago, when Professor X first lost control, he accidentally killed seven mutants.

After that incident, Professor X became America's most wanted criminal.

The United States government has always been wary of Professor X's superpowers, classifying his brain as a weapon of mass destruction.

If it weren't for the fear of Professor X's superpowers, the American authorities would have taken action against him long ago, eliminating this threat that could endanger the president and high-ranking government officials at any time.

Knowing that the American authorities would not let Professor X off the hook, Wolverine immediately took Professor X away from the manor and sought help from Caliban.

The three then left America and went to an abandoned factory in Mexico, where they went into hiding.

"I'll go and bring Caliban back first."

After saying that, without waiting for Wolverine's reply, Roy began to try to activate the Space Stone ring on his left pinky finger.

Just as he predicted, the Space Stone did not react at all.

This just won't work in this universe!

Roy silently sighed to himself.

Although the X-Men cinematic universe is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Infinity Stones have never appeared in the X-Men cinematic universe.

It's normal that the Infinity Stones, which originated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, cannot be used in the X-Men cinematic universe.

After confirming that the Infinity Stones could not be used in this universe, Roy removed the Space Stone ring and stored it back in the system space.

Immediately afterwards, he used his Body Flicker Technique to disappear from Wolverine and Professor X's sight in an instant.

After he left, Wolverine first opened the trunk and took out Professor X's electric wheelchair, then carried Professor X out from the back seat.

After sitting in his wheelchair, Professor X said to Wolverine, "This Roy means no harm. It's not a bad thing to accept kindness and help from others appropriately."

Wolverine remained silent.

Professor X said nothing more and maneuvered his wheelchair toward the house.

He was also curious as to why Roy wanted to help them.

But compared to Roy, he now cares more about "Little Wolf Girl" Laura.

As Roy just said, he is a superhuman from a parallel universe.

In other words, he will leave sooner or later and return to his original universe.

But Laura is different.

Laura is not only a person from this universe, but also a mutant.

Although Laura is not a naturally born mutant, but an artificial mutant created through genetic engineering, she is still a mutant with the X gene.

Since 25 years ago, there have been no naturally born mutants in this world.

From this perspective, Laura and her fellow artificial mutants represent the only future for the mutant race.

At this point, Wolverine doesn't consider Laura his "daughter" and doesn't have any special feelings for her.

Not long after, Roy returned to Wolverine carrying the unconscious Caliban and handed him over.

Wolverine and Professor X's abilities are not much different from those in the comics.

Caliban's abilities have been significantly weakened.

In the comics, Caliban not only has the ability to sense the presence of other mutants and pinpoint their location, but also possesses superhuman strength and the superpower to absorb fear.

When under immense pressure, his adrenaline surges, temporarily granting him these two superpowers.

His superhuman strength surpasses that of the original Spider-Woman, Jessica Drew.

His superpower of absorbing fear allows him to draw mental energy from the fear of others and amplify it in his environment.

The manifested spiritual energy can cause panic among those around them.

Its effect is similar to a fear aura.

When he uses this superpower, a huge, threatening shadow occasionally appears around him.

In addition, Caliban in the comics was also enhanced by Apocalypse, serving as the "Death Knight" and "Plague Knight" among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and gained more superpowers.

However, Caliban in the X-Men cinematic universe has never had such an experience; he has always been a support mutant with low combat capabilities.

After handing Caliban over to Wolverine, Roy said to Wolverine, "I helped you guys out of a crisis, aren't you going to buy me a drink?"

"We only have beer here," Wolverine replied.

"Beer is enough," Roy said with a smile.

Wolverine carried the unconscious Caliban and headed towards the house.

In the past, carrying the not-so-strong Caliban would have been no problem for him.

However, now, a strained expression appeared on his tired face.

Seeing this, Roy came to his side and lifted Caliban up, saying, "Let me do it."

Wolverine did not refuse.

After entering the building that was originally a factory, Roy saw Laura sitting at a table eating cereal.

Just as he remembered, Laura was not very old, only a little over ten years old, and was wearing a slightly worn casual outfit.

Professor X stood next to Laura, speaking to her in Spanish.

Roy didn't speak Spanish and couldn't understand their conversation.

After placing Caliban on the sofa, he sat down opposite Laura and looked her over with great interest.

Although she is an artificial mutant created through genetic engineering, Laura is destined to become a pillar of the mutant race in the future.

She perfectly inherited Wolverine's superpowers and withstood the transformation with Edmund's alloy.

If there's anything to say, it's that she doesn't have the innate anger of Wolverine.

But this isn't a bad thing; on the contrary, it allows her to remain calmer in battle.

Wolverine took two bottles of frozen beer from the refrigerator, went to Roy's side, and handed him one of the bottles.

Roy took the beer, opened the bottle, took a sip, and said to Wolverine, "Do you know what her relationship is with you?"

""

"What other relationship could there be besides being mutants?" Wolverine sat down and said casually.

Roy laughed and said, "Genetically speaking, she is your daughter; she was created using your genes."

What?

An expression of disbelief appeared on Wolverine's face, and he unconsciously began to scrutinize Laura.

"Her backpack contains information about her and other artificial mutants. If you don't believe me, you can take it out and have a look."

"Of course, that's assuming she's willing to give it to you."

Roy continued.

He not only knew that Laura's backpack contained these documents, but he also knew that it contained X-Men comics.

In addition, the meeting point for Laura and the others was also determined based on the coordinates of the Garden of Eden in the comics.

After scrutinizing Laura for a few seconds, Wolverine raised his right hand and reached for Laura's backpack, attempting to retrieve the documents inside.

Laura wanted to stop him.

But when Wolverine's right hand grabbed the backpack, she let go of it, allowing Wolverine to take it away.

Wolverine opened his backpack and took out information on Laura and the other mutants.

The folder had the words "Genetic Modification" and "Childhood Cancer Research" written on it.

Upon seeing these two lines of text, Wolverine frowned slightly and took out his reading glasses from his pocket.

He put on his reading glasses before opening the folder.

The first two pages of the folder contain information on other androids.

Laura's information is on the third page.

Upon opening Laura's file, the first thing Wolverine noticed was the note "Impregnated with adamantium".

In the gene source section, Wolverine's full name is James Logan Howlett.

Wolverine didn't look at anything else, closed the folder, and put it back into Laura's backpack.

"You should have Gabriela's phone too, right? While you still have time, you can watch the video she left for you."

Roy took a sip of his ice-cold beer and continued.

Wolverine didn't immediately take out Gabriella's phone, frowning as he asked, "How do you know so much about this?"

"If I didn't even know these things, I wouldn't have come to find you."

"If I hadn't come, all three of you, except Laura, would have met a terrible end."

"Don't ask me how miserable I am, you wouldn't want to know—"

At this point, Roy paused, looked at Professor X next to Laura, and said earnestly, "I will do everything I can to heal you and Logan."

"I'm confident I can restore Logan to his former vitality, but whether your dementia can be cured will only be known after further examination."

"Also, let me make this clear from the start: I don't like having my memories read, so even if you can use your superpowers normally, don't read my memories."

"I don't have telepathy, but I can sense if someone is secretly reading my memories."

Professor X is not a psychopathic voyeur.

Under normal circumstances, he would not use his superpowers to read other people's memories.

But Roy felt it was necessary to make things clear to Professor X to prevent Professor X from secretly reading his memories in order to find out his identity and purpose.

"Don't worry, I will absolutely not read your memories unless you allow it," Professor X said quickly.

Roy nodded, put down his beer, and turned to Wolverine, saying, "Since you don't want to look at Gabriella's phone right now, then treat your body first."

"How are you going to treat me?" Wolverine looked at Roy warily.

"You're a mutant, so of course I'll use my superpowers to heal you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Roy raised his right hand and cast the Palm Healing Technique, with green chakra for healing appearing on his right hand.

Wolverine's weakness is caused by consuming genetically modified foods.

To restore his health, the first thing to address is the impact of genetically modified foods.

Roy is not a dedicated medical ninja.

Aside from the Palm Healing Technique and his self-developed chakra scalpel, he doesn't know any other medical ninjutsu.

However, this does not mean that he has no way to treat Wolverine and Professor X.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the Palm Immortal Technique.

In the world of Naruto, the most common use of Healing Palm Technique is to treat external and internal injuries suffered by ninjas in battle, as well as to detoxify.

However, the application of the Palm Immortal Technique is not limited to this.

Besides being used for healing wounds and detoxification, the Palm Immortal Technique can also be used to treat diseases.

However, compared to healing wounds and detoxifying, treating diseases is much more complicated.

In addition, when using the Palm Healing Technique to treat diseases, one must also pay attention to the input of chakra.

If too much chakra is injected, it will not only disrupt the patient's normal circulatory system, but also bring about many chain reactions.

For example, it may trigger other illnesses.

Roy had never used the Palm Healing Technique to treat other people's illnesses before; he had only used it to help George, Happy, and Tony recover from their injuries faster.

That is why, before figuring out Professor X's dementia, he didn't know if he could cure Professor X.

After casting the Palm Healing Technique, Roy pressed down on Wolverine's shoulder, channeling chakra into Wolverine's body while checking on his condition.

With the infusion of healing chakra, Wolverine's wounds, which had not yet healed, quickly began to close.

Time passes little by little.

In just two or three minutes, Roy finished checking Wolverine's physical condition and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wolverine's situation is much better than he expected.

Although Wolverine's superpowers have been greatly weakened, his current condition is similar to that of someone who has been poisoned for a long time.

For him, who possesses the X gene, genetically modified foods targeting the X gene are like slow-acting poisons in small doses that won't kill him immediately.

In other words, as long as the "genetic toxins" targeting the X gene are completely removed from Wolverine's body, and Wolverine is instructed to pay attention to his diet and not to continue consuming any food produced by Ewood Corporation using super genetically modified corn, Wolverine can fully recover and regain his original "immortality".

After figuring out Wolverine's condition, Roy did not hesitate and immediately began treating him.

It only took two or three minutes to check Wolverine's condition.

It took nearly half an hour to completely remove the "genetic toxins" from Wolverine's body.

The process of eliminating "genotoxins" is not complicated.

The problem is that the "genetic toxins" in Wolverine's body have accumulated over many years.

Wolverine had no idea what the Palm Technique was.

However, during the process of Roy clearing the "gene toxins," he could clearly feel his body getting better.

The body, which was originally exhausted and weak, is gradually regaining its vitality.

Not only that, as his self-healing ability gradually recovered, his presbyopia also improved rapidly, and his gray hair and beard began to turn back to their original brown color.

After confirming that Wolverine's healing factor was no longer affected by the "gene toxin" and was gradually returning to normal, Roy stopped using the Hextech Gunblade.

"Thank you!" Wolverine looked at Roy earnestly and thanked him sincerely.

"You're welcome," Roy replied.

After downing his beer in one gulp, he got up and went to Professor X's side, once again using his palm magic to check on Professor X's condition.

Compared to Wolverine, who has super healing abilities and an extremely long lifespan, Professor X's situation is much worse.

Professor X's superpowers are much stronger than Wolverine's.

However, his physical abilities are far inferior to Wolverine's.

Even without the "gene toxin," his life was nearing its end.

Professor X's physical attributes are similar to those of an ordinary person; it would be quite remarkable if he lived to be over 90 years old.

Based on the examination, even if he is cured, he will only live for a few more years at most.

Although it's impossible to significantly extend Professor X's lifespan, living a few more years is better than dying at the hands of Wolverine's clone, X-24, like in the movies.
