Like a God or Demon, Captain Locke's Terror (Seeking Reads!)

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Footsteps approached from ahead.

From time to time, they were accompanied by the sound of two fighter jets crashing and exploding.

Captain Locke had survived, but only because he had snatched an exoskeleton suit from one of his subordinates at the critical moment and donned it himself.

Even so, his hands and feet had been blown to smithereens, leaving only his injured head and protected torso intact.

At this moment, he was face-down in the dirt, and every time he opened his mouth, a mouthful of soil would drill its way in.

Hearing the footsteps, Locke felt nervous, but he lacked the strength and ability to lift his head.

Suddenly, a foot stepped onto Locke's head, pressing down with force to grind his entire face into the dirt.

"You're the person in charge sent by the base headquarters to hunt me down, right?"

A deep, masculine voice came from above.

Locke gritted his teeth, struggling to keep the dirt from filling his mouth.

"You... what exactly do you want? You damn Mutant!"

Lynn looked down at the cur beneath him and chuckled.

"Heh... don't you understand yet? This is war, and you have already been defeated!"

War?

Not far away, Wolverine heard Lynn's words, and his heart skipped a beat.

This Mutant... he actually made a fair point.

This was indeed a war—a war between Mutants and these people.

"As a defeated prisoner, what do you think I'll do to you?" Lynn's lips curled slightly, revealing a cruel expression.

"Hah! Nothing more than killing me!" Captain Locke sneered.

"Damn Mutant! You'll never escape the base's grasp. Even if you kill me, there are still my family, and countless others like me!"

"Is that so?" A cold, chilling light flashed in Lynn's eyes. "Heh, it doesn't matter. No matter how many of you there are, I'll kill every single one of you!"

He grabbed Captain Locke and began walking toward the hill that had been leveled to the ground.

It was then that Captain Locke was finally able to see Lynn's face.

His pupils dilated instantly, and he froze as if struck by lightning.

That face...

That face was exactly the same as his own!

Could Subject 52 transform into someone else's appearance?!

At this thought, a sense of crisis surged in Captain Locke's heart.

No, he had to report this intelligence to Commander Black Skull, otherwise, when the time came...

Just then, Lynn's voice rang out beside his ear.

"Surprised, right? Guess what would happen if you died in a cesspit, and I, wearing this face, contacted the base headquarters and your family?"

The devilishly cold words echoed in Captain Locke's ears.

His face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Damn it... the intelligence was wrong!

Subject 52 could actually transform into someone else's appearance.

If he found his family and discovered the base headquarters...

Wait!

Captain Locke remembered Subject 01 and Subject 07, the two Level 4 Mutants under Black Skull.

"Heh! If you've got the guts, go to the base headquarters then!"

Captain Locke looked at Lynn, who had transformed to look exactly like him, and sneered.

Even though Subject 52 had displayed terrifying strength, in Captain Locke's view, as long as either Subject 01 or Subject 07 stepped in, they could easily subdue the Subject 52 before him.

Lynn noticed Captain Locke's reaction, his mind recalling the things he had just seen.

From Base 10, he had obtained some information.

This armed force had actually been sent by Black Skull, one of the members of the Council of Leaders at the base headquarters.

They were originally meant to capture him, but because they had discovered the tracks of Wolverine and the others, they had diverted Locke's team to provide support.

Not only that, but Lynn also discovered that Black Skull had a Level 3 Mutant with telepathic abilities under his command.

As for Mutants at Level 4 and above, Base 10 had no information mentioned.

Although the perception combining Observation Haki and Electric Current Drive was powerful, it did not allow Lynn to read minds.

Therefore, he could not know what Captain Locke was thinking.

However, since he did not know, there was no need to know.

Since he had already embarked on his own path, he would press forward without hesitation!

Black Widow's face was filled with shock, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on the massive crater blasted out in the distance.

Inside the crater, the tanks, close-in weapon systems, and Patriot Anti-Missile Systems from moments ago had all been reduced to scrap metal.

Even the armed personnel among them had been largely obliterated by the terrifying shockwave.

How... how could this be possible?

Black Widow Natasha felt as if an earthquake were tearing through her heart.

Aside from Magneto, there was actually a Mutant powerful to this degree?

Beside her, Bruce Banner stared, dumbfounded, at the flattened road and the three crashed fighter jets.

He had originally assumed that the Mutant would surely face a grim fate upon encountering such a terrifying armed force.

Yet, he never expected the opponent to erupt with such horrifying power.

With the force of a landslide, he had directly destroyed those terrifying modern thermal weapons.

This left Bruce Banner's jaw on the floor.

He turned his head to look at Black Widow Natasha beside him and asked, "You didn't bring me here just to have me take him to S.H.I.E.L.D., did you?"

Black Widow: "..."

Watching the silent Black Widow, Bruce Banner felt his life was a bit miserable.

He knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. bringing him in was never for anything good.

Asking someone as weak and helpless as him to bring such a terrifying Mutant to S.H.I.E.L.D.—was this even appropriate?

"Subject 52, Mutant criminal, I advise you not to choose to oppose the base."

Even though he was being held by the head by Lynn, a sneer still appeared on Captain Locke's face.

Because even though Lynn's abilities and strength were extremely formidable, even having blasted his armed forces into fragments, he still did not believe that Lynn could withstand the Level 4 Mutants of their base.

"Let me tell you, just among my superior's subordinates, there are five or six Mutants even more powerful than you!"

Locke looked at Lynn's cold, stern face and sneered.

"Not only can they destroy an entire city in an instant, but they can suppress a nation single-handedly, and even drag planets from the sky. Even aliens have been suppressed by them, so you..."

"And so what?"

Captain Locke was interrupted by Lynn before he could finish his sentence.

His expression froze as he looked at the man's face.

Although that face looked exactly like his own, the gaze—the will revealed in those eyes—made Captain Locke's heart tremble.

What kind of look was that?

It was as if a spark of fire had ignited in the middle of a vast ocean, eventually burning the entire world into ashes.

"You... you guy..." A trace of fear finally appeared on Locke's face.

Even when he was grabbed by Lynn earlier, he had been confident that the test subjects in the base could capture Mutant Subject 52.

But after seeing this gaze, he felt as if he were a bug about to be burned to ash by fire.

No, he felt the entire world was like this bug.

And he was merely an insignificant speck on that bug!

Lynn casually tossed Locke into the pit of flesh and filth dug out by the Mutant children.

"Wuwuwu..."

Locke struggled in terror, but as soon as he opened his mouth, countless filth poured into it.

Watching Locke, who was filled with terror, gradually sink, Lynn said word by word.

"No matter how strong you are, no matter how many of you there are, as long as I can think, as long as I exist, I will surely bring divine retribution upon you bastards!"
