Beginning the Divine Power Conversion

"So, your ability lies in your feet?"

"That's right. While she was in the hospital, I went into the mountains to test it. When I stomped on the ground, I could make the soil churn and even form it into all kinds of shapes. When I stepped on a tree, I could make its trunk bend however I wanted. When I stepped on metal, I could make it fold, crack, or even shatter!"

"Then that beast-like man found me. He dug through the dirt, tore the branches apart, and smashed through the rocks, but he didn't have a scratch on him. I finally managed to escape to an iron mine and trap him, but then a sniper showed up in the distance, and I was hit with a tranquilizer dart..."

"They found out my weakness, so I was left hanging there all this time..."

After hearing Carrett's account, Lin Xu couldn't help feeling that Stryker had really wasted him.

He could alter geological structures, change the shape of wood and metal, and even extract metal directly from a mine!

That was an Innate Earth-and-Wood Sacred Physique!

"Victor!!!!"

Well, clearly Logan's attention was always on his brother, especially since said brother had "killed" his girlfriend not long ago.

"Right!" Carrett suddenly grew agitated. "They seemed to have lost something and were going to relocate from here back to America. Because of how my ability works, it wasn't easy to move me, so they planned to drain all my blood before they left! Luckily, you showed up in time."

So that was it!

Lin Xu understood now. He'd been wondering why someone with such an incredible ability had never appeared later on. It turned out Carrett had already died here.

"All right, we've got a pretty good idea of what happened. Stryker knows your address, so it isn't safe here anymore. We'll relocate after dinner. As for him, Mrs. Cassia, just give him a bowl of oatmeal with hot milk."

As a public official, Stryker definitely knew where Carrett lived. As for why he hadn't wiped out the whole family?

Simple...

Seven years ago, Stryker had been selfish and power-hungry, but he hadn't been so bloodthirsty.

It was only two years ago, when his son awakened his Mutant ability and inadvertently killed his wife, that he stopped caring about right and wrong.

Anyone who stood in the way of his plan to exterminate the Mutants had to die!!

When he heard they had to move, Old Sam started to speak but hesitated. After a glance at his son's condition, however, he kept quiet.

He really couldn't bear to leave this place, but his son mattered more than anything.

At dinner, only Logan and Lin Xu sat at the table, enthusiastically digging into the beef bones. The old couple had no appetite at all. They hurriedly swallowed a couple of bites and went to pack.

Only after he'd finished all the marrow from his six bones did Logan turn back to Lin Xu. "They're gone!"

"Who?" Lin Xu looked up after finishing his last piece of beef.

"That liar Stryker and the people at the base."

"Oh!"

"When are we going after them?"

"After we get the three of them out."

Logan understood and asked, "Then what's our battle plan?"

"Find them and kill them!"

"...??"

Logan was a little confused. Wasn't that the same thing?

How was it any different from what he'd suggested earlier...?

Perhaps seeing Logan's confusion, Lin Xu spoke slowly. "Your plan was to charge in and fight alone. Now there are two of us!"

Thinking of Lin Xu's strange and varied abilities, Logan felt a little more confident about this "battle plan." He then asked, "Why are you helping me?"

"Because I'm kind!"

Of course, it was because he wanted to try his luck!

As everyone knew, a Wolverine who stood only 1.6 meters tall but had Hugh Jackman's face had appeared only once in film history!

"Deadpool and Wolverine"

To put it bluntly, he had his eye on Deadpool's equipment, whether it was Cable's time watch or the TVA's universe-jumping device.

The chances were slim, but what if?

As long as he followed this short Logan, he had a chance of meeting Deadpool.

Either of those two things should be much safer than a medium spell plus the Bifrost!

"Kind?" Logan murmured to himself. Yes, if he hadn't been kind himself, he wouldn't have left Stryker's team back then.

And Lin? If he weren't kind, would he have come to these remote mountains to treat Cassia and then saved their son too?

We're the same kind of people, and he understands me!

At that thought, a smile slowly spread across Logan's face.

"What the * are you smiling at? You're too heavy to ride in the car. Go see if there's enough gas in the motorcycle in the shed. You'll ride it later."

A motorcycle? Logan's eyes lit up. He really does understand me!

The dam base.

Stryker was furious.

"Can someone tell me what happened? In a single day, Weapon X escaped, test subject No. 5 was taken, and we don't even know who the enemy is!"

"Colonel, the call said it was someone with a spatial ability. Could it have been John?"

"No. They know what John looks like. If it had been him, they would have given his name. Also..." As Stryker spoke, he slowly walked over to the broken iron lock and examined its smooth cut.

"It looks like our Weapon X has joined forces with him!"

Just then, a captain came over.

"Colonel, based on our trajectory analysis, there's an 88 percent overlap between Weapon X's escape route and the route to test subject No. 5's home."

Stryker whirled around. "Test subject No. 5's home? He has family?"

Seeing his superior like this, the captain trembled. "He still has... his parents!"

"Why weren't they wiped out too?"

"Zero brought it up once, but you said, 'This is Canada, not America... Besides, they're just two old geezers. They can't cause any trouble...'"

Stryker almost laughed when he heard that. What bullshit about this not being America. When had they ever cared about that?

It seemed he'd been too softhearted back then!

"Send the location to Zero. Tell him to leave no one alive!"

Night.

Two beams of light traveled through the endless mountain forest.

Logan rode his motorcycle in front, stopping every now and then to wait, while Old Sam drove behind at an unhurried pace.

For one thing, Carrett's body couldn't handle a bumpy ride. For another, Lin Xu, sitting in the front passenger seat, was glowing!

Crimson and gold light shone around him, prompting Old Sam to glance at him from time to time as he drove.

That was right. Lin Xu was using this free time to convert the Odinforce in his sub-dimension into his own power!

According to the Book of the Vishanti, the first twenty percent of the divine power was consumed during the conversion, without adding the slightest bit of divine power to the human body itself. It would first strengthen the body and soul so the body could withstand the power.

Moreover, the color of divine power was determined by its owner's heart!

Odin's divine power had originally been gold, representing his domineering nature and pride in the beginning.

Lin Xu's own power was crimson!
