Chapter 21 Wolverine

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz..." The crisp sound of the air raid siren shattered the peaceful life brought by the sea breeze and waves.

It was a coastal city in Japan called Nagasaki. As for why there was an air raid siren, it all comes down to the manipulation of a certain arms dealer. Although Tang Tian was not fully involved in the war, for those abnormal races who were "born on mushrooms and died under mushrooms," dying under a nuclear mushroom was the best option for them.

Japanese sentries reacted swiftly, immediately spotting the distant American B-29 bomber and activating air raid sirens. Initially, Japan was dismissive of the news that the United States had developed a weapon of mass destruction called the "atomic bomb," believing it to be just a slightly larger bomb. However, after US warnings proved ineffective, Hiroshima, once a symbol of Japan's arrogance, was wiped off the map. While Japan was still reeling from the deaths of hundreds of thousands in terror, another devastating disaster struck.

After the sentries of Japan sounded the alarm, Ichiro Yashida, an officer, simultaneously rang a somber bell.

In the dark, gloomy well, Wolverine Logan, separated from his brother Victor after the war, was captured along with a group of Americans by elite Japanese troops during the Pacific War. Yes, captured. Although Wolverine possessed a body with a rapid healing factor, he couldn't withstand the attack of thousands of regular soldiers. Finally, the Japanese discovered his monstrous physical condition and imprisoned him in the well, preventing his escape.

Logan extended his bony claws and wedged them into the well opening, observing the chaotic scene outside the concentration camp with a blank expression. He glanced at the officers' actions one moment, then at the officers on the sentry tower the next. Logan, the Wolverine, was naturally unafraid of the nuclear explosion; the power of the explosion would be weakened in the deep well, so he would only need some time to recover.

--- Divider ---

"Fuck, where are you going? Help us! Let us out!" The Japanese soldiers ran in disarray. The American prisoners of war in the camp were also frantic, cursing the Japanese. They weren't stupid; they understood that the chaos meant something terrible had happened. So they wanted to get out as quickly as possible. Of course, most of the Japanese soldiers didn't do anything; instead, they prepared to submit to some idiot.

Unlike the other officers, Ichiro Yashida drew his katana and went to the prisoner's door. "Here," the prisoners said quickly in fluent American English, seeing someone rescuing them. "Bang!" With a slightly reddened katana severing the chains, the prisoners were freed and ran in all directions.

The Yashida family is a powerful clan in Japan, possessing a vast and incredibly wealthy corporation. While not as powerful as a Umbrella Corporation branch, they are still formidable. Yashida Ichiro is the son of the current family head and a mutant. He can create energy similar to faster-than-light ions, channeling this power into his katana, allowing him to cut through any metal except adamantium. He is also Silver Samurai, Wolverine's future archenemy.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..." As the sound of rifles rang out from the watchtower, some of the American prisoners of war who had just gone out fell down, but compared to the impending danger to their lives, it was nothing, and the prisoners of war continued to run.

"Stop firing! Stop firing immediately!" Yashida Ichiro, barely in his twenties, was still kind-hearted, which is why he ordered the sentries to stop firing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let so many prisoners of war go. Of course, this was in stark contrast to the ruthless Silver Samurai who would later become so determined to live indefinitely.

Ichiro Yashida smiled as he watched the prisoners of war run further and further away, heading towards the sea after gaining their freedom. Just then, he spotted Wolverine, tightly controlled in the deep well. Ichiro quickly ran to the well's entrance and, to Wolverine's astonishment, cut the chains binding the well. As Ichiro cut the chains, Wolverine jumped down as well, knowing that nowhere was safe—the power of nuclear weapons was not something easily escaped.

"Hurry, hurry, get out of here!" Yashida Ichiro shouted to Wolverine in the well.

"Dude, those are weapons carried by B-29 bombers. You can't avoid them." Wolverine looked at Ichiro Yashida like he was an idiot, proving the terrible truth of ignorance. It was obvious that he couldn't avoid the nuclear explosion, yet he still released those prisoners of war like a moron.

"Yashida, come here! It's time to serve xx! Japan, Japan!" the Japanese concentration camp commander shouted fervently. The other officers were all ready to submit to some idiot.

--- Divider ---

“You’re safer down there. If I were you, I would act faster.” Although Wolverine’s personality is that of a loner and he wouldn’t care about people who are not related to him, when Wolverine saw that Yashida Ichiro was able to release American prisoners of war, he felt good about him and was prepared to give him a way out.

However, Yashida Ichiro was still summoned by his superior officer, and on the way, he swallowed hard. Watching the Japanese officer die, and seeing the approaching B-29 bombers, Yashida Ichiro made a snap decision: he would commit suicide.

At this moment, the 'Little Boy' nuclear weapon, dropped by the B-29 bomber, was launched. The nuclear weapon exploded like the light of 1000 million small suns and a huge mushroom cloud. In a few microseconds, countless high temperatures, superpressure, radioactive fragments, shock waves, light radiation, nuclear rays, and nuclear electromagnetic pulses rushed past. Looking at the world-destroying weapon in front of him, Yashida Ichiro had no luck of suicide and watched helplessly as the mushroom cloud shot into the sky. Of course, with a world-destroying weapon, there was no way to escape. All you could do was put on sunglasses and quietly wait for death to come. Tang Tian himself also greatly admired mushrooms, but these were not ordinary mushrooms, but the huge mushroom cloud produced by a nuclear explosion.

"Run!" Seeing the mushroom cloud getting closer and closer, Ichiro Yashida really wanted to commit suicide this time, because no one wanted to die from such a terrifying weapon. Wolverine managed to escape in time, carrying Ichiro Yashida to the deep well, while simultaneously using the wellhead lid to shield him from most of the ensuing shockwave and intense heat.

"No, we can't go out yet. It's not safe outside right now. We'll go out later," Wolverine explained to the nervous Ichiro Yashida.

What Wolverine didn't know was that the person he saved would find him before dying in the future. Ostensibly, it was to repay him, but in reality, it was to obtain his power. From this, the future Silver Warrior was born.

Chapter 22 The Age of Wonder

As World War II drew to a close, the world slowly began to heal from the wounds of war. The world continues to move forward, and the rise of Captain America and the emergence of mutants signaled a unique trend: the arrival of the Age of Marvel—an era of villains and superheroes.

"The origin of the C virus requires an enhanced version of Veronica, the blood of William's daughter Shirley (a G virus mutant), and the blood of Wesker's son Jack Muller (a virus with antibodies)." In the real world, Tang Tian, ​​dressed in a handmade suit and carrying a briefcase, pondered. In fact, no matter how many clones Tang Tian created, their thoughts were the same, and there would be no betrayal because they all had one goal—to become stronger.

Latvinia in Eastern Europe is the location of Wesker's son, Jack Muller, situated between Hungary, Romania, and Serbia. Upon receiving Umbrella's intelligence-gathering location, Tang Tian's expression suddenly froze. Isn't this Doctor Doom's hometown? Doctor Doom, that idealistic, cunning, and extremely arrogant villain. And a madman who understands both magic and science—in a way, he's comparable to a certain other person. Tang Tian could continue to try and win him over in the future, since he has many valuable resources; inviting him wouldn't be bad news, as it would form his own Dark Avengers.

"Hank, have you confirmed the exact location of Wesker's wife, Evelyn Mueller?" Tang Tian, ​​the clone, turned to look at Death Hank with a blank expression and asked.

"Ivy Muller is in the village of Hainado," Death Hank said slowly, recalling the information gathered by the intelligence department.

"Alright, lead the way, we're going now." Tang Tian, ​​the clone, nodded in satisfaction. Actually, there was no need to worry about Shirley's side, even though the planes weren't connected yet. With the help of many clones, their development was all heading in the same direction: biotechnology followed by mechanical technology.

--- Divider ---

Soon they arrived at Ivy Muller's location. Sensing someone's presence, a child who looked seven-tenths like Wesker approached and asked, "Hello, sir. What brings you here? Do you need my help?" Seeing Tang Tian's wealthy and noble attire, Jack Muller saw an opportunity and stepped forward, completely ignoring the members of the action team, including Death Hank, who were standing nearby.

“Jack Mueller? No wonder he’s Wesker’s son,” Tang Tian said with a smile, then took out two thousand dollars and handed it to Jack Mueller. Although Jack’s expression showed some disgust when he heard his father’s name, he didn’t refuse the green dollars and accepted them directly. For some people in a poor village, being able to easily obtain money was a good option.

"I'm looking for your mother, please take me there." Tang Tian's goal was simple: to bring Evelyn Muller and Wesker's son to Wesker's side. As the Marvel Era drew ever closer, the world would become increasingly dangerous, but with the ability to travel into movies and the many things he had acquired, Tang Tian believed he could make a name for himself in the Marvel world.

“No problem, my mother is just ahead. Come with me, boss.” Lured by the money, Jack Muller led Tang Tian to his mother’s place. Speaking of which, Jack Muller in Resident Evil 6 was also a mercenary driven by money, and the Jack in the Marvel universe also reflects his original personality.

The money strategy was successful. Tang Tian now understood why people would do anything for money—it was because of the greed inherent in human nature. Soon after, Jack Muller led Tang Tian to a small, dilapidated wooden house, where Death, Hank, and the others followed.

Tang Tian and the others arrived at the door of the cabin. Jack Muller, having received the money, took the initiative to knock on the door while calling out his mother's name.

"Hello sir, who are you looking for?" The thin, blonde woman who opened the door said, looking exhausted from working day and night.

“Hello, Ms. Ivy Muller, Wesker’s wife.” Tang Tian stated her name directly, without any hesitation.

“I don’t know you, but how do you know I’m Wesker’s wife?” Avery Muller asked the stranger in front of her, puzzled.

“Of course I know Wesker, I’m his boss, and I think you’d like to meet him too.” Tang Tian opened his briefcase at the door, took out a Cuban cigar, took a deep drag, and then said calmly.

---------------------------------- Divider --------------------------------------------------

“Sir, he’s there now.” Ivy Muller’s lifeless face suddenly lit up with excitement; after all, she had developed feelings for Wesker after spending some time with him.

“I put him in charge of the Paris branch. I think you must want to meet him,” Tang Tianping said calmly.

"Jack, did you hear that? There's finally news about your father. Come over here quickly."

“Father?” Jack, who was listening to their conversation, had anger and disgust flash across his eyes again, and his hands were clenched tightly. He even felt that his father, Wesker, had been murdered and had ignored them.

"Alright, that's your business, I don't care," Tang Tian said indifferently, as if it were nothing to him. Of course, Jack Muller was an important target this time, since the C-virus needed his help.

"I can take you to a prosperous place where you will never have to suffer from hunger again, and you will have a lot of money," Tang Tian said enticingly.

"Boss, can you give me lots and lots of money?" Jack Muller said with a bright look in his eyes. Thinking about the poverty she had endured over the years, Jack had longed for a better life, but the impact of the world war had made their lives increasingly difficult.

"Of course, no problem. I will send you to the best school, but on the condition that you help me develop a new biological product."

Tang Tian smiled and said that as long as he agreed, the mission would be almost over, and the success would be a given.

Tang Tian's clone completed his mission quite well this time, getting Wesker's wife and son to America. Needless to say, Tang Xing in the Ape Star colony had already infected Sherry with the G-virus. The remaining tasks are basically complete; all that's left is to collect a large amount of metal. Then, he'll plunder a large amount of mechanical technology from I, Robot and The Matrix to fully perfect the empire.

Chapter 23 Awakening

In the real world, September 1945, 100 years after the time of the Planet Ape colony, at the Umbrella Empire State Building.

"Please enter the password... Welcome, Mr. Tang Xing." The steel door of the underground laboratory slowly opened, and a mechanical voice rang out. Tang Xing hadn't changed much in 100 years; of course, a company with top-tier biotechnology wouldn't lack methods to slow aging. Tang Xing walked straight into the underground secret laboratory, to where Tang Tian had been enhanced. Indeed, Tang Xing was here to awaken his boss and then begin his full-scale plunder plan.

Tang Xing slowly walked to the control panel and operated the densely packed buttons. The ultra-thin screen displayed data resembling that of a deep-space amnesiac dimension, showing that Tang Tian's body data was remarkably stable. After skillfully entering a series of complex passwords, he finally pressed the red button in the center of the control panel—the unfreezing procedure.

In the center of the underground laboratory, a tall, thickened cryogenic chamber surrounded the area. As it thawed, a plume of frigid white mist rose, and the ultra-low temperature gas rapidly chilled the surrounding air. Tang Xing seemed completely oblivious to the temperature, watching Tang Tian, ​​who was about to awaken, with a half-smile. In his eyes, Tang Tian's awakening signified the official start of the Raiders' Infinite Dimensions plan.

"Ah! The 100-year enhancement is finally over. Power, immense power, I have obtained it." Tang Tian slowly opened his scarlet eyes, floated up, and then released black energy from his body. Instantly, a terrifying force field, like a landslide, swept out in all directions. Instantly, objects around the laboratory, including electronic components, turned to dust while sparking. Moreover, the hard special concrete floor was shaken open by the enormous force, creating countless spiderweb-like cracks.

---------------------------------- Divider --------------------------------------------------

"Um, boss, judging from your appearance, the ability to enhance the Magneto bloodline of the main god has been restored? Coupled with gravity control, it will be of great help to our plan." Tang Xing, who was outside the laboratory, ran out as soon as he noticed that the enhancement was not working properly. He was leaving because he was an ordinary person.

"That's right, this is the feeling of power. But not only that, my spatial abilities have also been restored." Tang Tian said excitedly, then instantly teleported in front of Tang Xing.

"Very good, perfect. We'll start testing your enhanced body data in a moment." Tang Xing turned into a mad scientist with a straight face, instantly grabbing a scalpel and stabbing it hard into Tang Tian's shoulder. However, it was like punching cotton; the attack had no effect whatsoever, and the kinetic energy generated was completely absorbed by Tang Tian's fused gravity ability.

"Uh, cough cough, I just said I'd wait a bit. Okay, you know about our plans to go to other worlds, so here's something for you." Tang Xing said awkwardly, then took out a black suit that looked like the crew uniform from Deep Space Amnesia.

"This is..." Tang Tian said calmly, looking at the black suit in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"The Deep Space Amnesia Dimension, as a dimension with advanced energy technology, has many good things, such as this combat suit made of composite materials." "This kind of suit has excellent conductivity, and the material can withstand any physical and chemical reaction and stretch freely..." Tang Xing explained.

"Holy crap, it feels like I'm wearing a Fantastic Four suit." Watching Tang Xing's rambling explanation, Tang Tian couldn't help but complain. Tang Xing's expression became incredibly interesting; he instantly realized that it really did look like a Fantastic Four suit. "Could this be where the Fantastic Four's suits originated?" someone thought, mouth agape, speechless.

---Test dividing line---

"And what I'm going to give you are the technological achievements you plundered in reality and the colonies, such as the black bodysuit you wear inside your body. In addition to regulating the internal environment, it is also waterproof, anti-electric, bulletproof, heat-insulating, and has tiny steel hairs similar to Spider-Man's, allowing you to climb walls like Spider-Man. Because your superpowers are of great help in the movies, and you are not afraid of any energy attacks, I am only providing you with some assistance," Tang Xing explained simply.

"Alright, I understand. You've done a good job." Floating in the air, Tang Tian was also helpless about the current situation, because his slow development had delayed the establishment of the Steel Empire.

"That's all for now. You've prepared most of the weapons. Alright, let's get started with the testing," Tang Xing said.

After integrating the power of multiple viruses, Tang Tian's recovery speed and physical strength increased significantly. First, there was the speed. When he first woke up, Tang Tian could only walk unsteadily like an infant. The reason he was able to float using gravity and magnetic abilities was because he had fully adapted to his new state after waking up.

Tang Tian walked slowly. At the beginning, he made some mistakes and couldn't run fast. But in less than ten minutes, Tang Tian had completely adapted to the environment. His speed increased and he gradually became so fast that only his afterimage could be seen. Of course, apart from the high-speed camera obtained from the deep space amnesia dimension, no other instruments could detect him.

"Not bad, your speed can reach 800 meters per second, much faster than Wesker. Of course, it's far inferior to Quicksilver and the Flash." Tang Xing was quite satisfied with his boss's speed, because Tang Tian had not only mastered speed but also overall strength and high-tech weaponry.

"Now we'll test the regenerative ability. Don't use the gravity ability to absorb kinetic energy." Tang Xing first recorded the speed data, then solemnly took out a superalloy scalpel and made a long cut in Tang Tian's arm. Strangely, however, no blood flowed from Tang Tian's arm. Then, something terrifying happened, a scene straight out of a horror movie. In less than a second, countless granulations repaired the damaged area.

"Damn it..." Tang Tian cursed Tang Xing's shamelessness in his heart. Was it really necessary to retaliate like this just because his attack had just failed? However, Tang Xing would never admit to his revenge.

"Your recovery ability is 76 times that of an ordinary person, possibly surpassing Wolverine and Sabretooth." Tang Xing thoughtfully observed the speed of cell healing. Now possessing a vast amount of knowledge, Tang Xing could roughly estimate the activity level of human cells simply by looking at them. This is the meaning of the saying "knowledge is power." Tang Xing had acquired a wealth of knowledge through over 100 years of study, and of course, he could directly access knowledge after obtaining the technology from The Matrix.

Tang Tian's subsequent plundering mission after completing the test will be long-term, as the resources he has amassed are still insufficient. Lacking substantial amounts of mechanical technology and various resources, he will need to plunder resources from over ten dimensions after the test concludes, allowing the Iron Empire to be established for the first time. Development in the Marvel universe is still a long and arduous journey; there are no newbies or exceptionally powerful cheat codes here, only slow and steady progress, and everything begins with plunder.

Chapter 24 Test

"Alright, now for the main event—the strength test. I will unleash bioweapons and high-tech weapons to test your overall strength." Tang Xing snapped his fingers, and two coffin-shaped iron boxes with skull symbols automatically popped out from the center. He continued, "The test subject is the second-generation Tyrant—T-003. In the long-term plundering plan, we will begin to completely sell weapons in various planes and destroy some planes as resource planes."

"Alright, that'll make it interesting for me, the prototype of this virus. I understand what you're saying. After all, I've been silent for too long, and I've lost the feeling I had as an arms dealer." A glint flashed in Tang Tian's eyes as he withdrew his supernatural powers. Of course, the purpose of doing this was to test his overall physical strength.

The second-generation Tyrant is different from the first generation. His appearance has changed drastically. In addition to wearing a green overcoat, he wears gloves and boots. He no longer has the single claw on his right hand, nor the throbbing internal organs, let alone the disgusting muscles on his face. It can be said that the second-generation Tyrant has undergone a major change in everything except his face, and his strength has increased exponentially.

The second-generation Tyrant, after being implanted with the Lisa Ne-A parasite, will become a highly intelligent bio-weapon—the Chaser. The Chaser can also control weapons in combat, such as the well-known rocket launcher, and even heavy weapons like rotary machine guns, and can even transform into three forms. The Chaser is an upgraded version that surpasses the original Tracker. The Tracker in the movie, excessively weakened and lacking infectivity, is the weapon that Tang Tian will sell in the future; the Chaser is the weapon he will use in the future.

"Hiss." As the command to unfreeze was output, the LCD screens on the two coffin-like iron boxes also began to unfreeze. As they were completely thawed, the doors of the coffin-like boxes suddenly flew out like cannonballs and crashed into the distance, slamming into the alloy wall of the laboratory and scattering countless sparks.

"Thump, thump, thump..." Two men dressed in military green overcoats, much like the eccentrics of the opera house, were the tyrants. Whenever heavy footsteps echoed, it was a harbinger of a battle.

"Not bad! The T-003 has basically eliminated the shortcomings of the T-002, and it has terrifying strength and super recovery ability. Only a battle like this can make my blood boil." Tang Tian said with praise, while preparing for the battle.

--- Divider ---

The T-003 mass-produced Tyrant is not comparable to trash like the Licker. On the surface, the new Tyrant is still a giant over three meters tall, his muscles covered by a thick, special green overcoat. This special green overcoat, like a sealing technique from Naruto, suppresses the Tyrant's overly powerful abilities! When the 'bald, weird uncle' Tyrant goes berserk, his abilities will be fully unleashed.

"Puff puff puff puff..." Tang Tian began to act, taking out his M4A1 from the spatial rift. One after another, tongues of fire and countless metal storms, carrying immense force, slammed into the Tyrant. As the "most successful bio-weapon," the Tyrant was prone to anger, thus launching rapid attacks on its enemies. Therefore, someone had acted recklessly.
