Werewolves Are Only This Strong?

At the command,

six soldiers immediately stepped out from the rear compartment of a military Humvee.

Before leaving the vehicle, each of them had already pulled out a prepared dose of [Temporary Compound V] and, without hesitation, plunged it into their own arteries.

Well, this made the drug take effect faster!!!

As the surging power filled their bodies once more, sickly expressions of madness and intoxication appeared on their faces.

"Remember, show some restraint when you attack. Don't get the brat killed!"

As the men passed by him, Major Lox did not forget to give them a special reminder.

"Also, don't let your guard down. That kid may have some unknown abilities hidden up his sleeve."

"Hehe... leave it to us, sir."

One of the six, a gaunt man, suddenly raised his arm and pressed it toward Carl.

A dark yellow radiance instantly surged from his palm.

In an instant, a massive bowl-shaped energy barrier enveloped Carl and all six of them.

"Hehe, brat, you won't be getting away this time..."

Old Mo, the tallest among them, stepped forward with a savage grin. Cracking his knuckles, he shouted,

"This barrier made by Shield Man can withstand an hour of continuous direct rocket bombardment."

"If you're smart, surrender obediently before we make a move."

"Otherwise, I might not be able to hold back later... and beat you to death!!!"

Then, he let out a beast-like roar.

Right before everyone's eyes, he transformed into a black werewolf over three meters tall, his entire body packed with knotted muscles.

A terrifying sense of oppression instantly swept across the scene.

Even Major Lox could not help but be stunned!

This was in the bag!!!

"A werewolf?"

Carl examined the six people before him with a strange look in his eyes.

"Didn't Zemo say mutants hadn't appeared for a long time?"

"Or... were they superpowered people created by [Compound V]?"

But when he used [Telepathy] to inspect the memories in their minds,

he discovered that their brains were all in an extremely chaotic, frenzied abnormal state.

So much so that he could not find a single complete memory.

"Roar... You're the fucking mutant! Your whole family are mutants!!!"

The werewolf, who possessed super hearing, had clearly heard Carl's mutter.

As though he had suffered an immense insult, his massive body shot toward Carl like a black bolt of lightning.

Swish, swish, swish...!!!

Sharp wolf claws gleaming with a chilling light slashed down at him.

With a dull pfft, blood splattered.

But the one who was injured was not Carl!!

At the very instant the werewolf moved,

Carl had already fired two laser beams from his eyes, blasting straight through the other man's chest and leaving behind a hole as large as a bowl.

Blood continuously sprayed from the wound, tracing a scarlet arc through the air as the werewolf was flung backward.

"That's it?!!"

Carl curled his lip in disinterest, then said with a slightly serious expression,

"Sorry, I take back what I said. A weakling werewolf like you... isn't even as good as a mutant!!"

"H-How is that possible?"

Major Lox and the others stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded.

No one had expected that a werewolf capable of tearing through tank armor with its claws would be pierced through in a single exchange?

Was this some fucking act?

But could someone tell him—had that kid really only just obtained superpowers?

His potential and growth rate were simply too monstrous, weren't they?

No wonder Boka's team had fallen at his hands.

Major Lox finally understood now.

Why Baron Strucker had been willing to pay such a heavy price just to capture Test Subject No. 380 alive.

He must have witnessed the freakish potential the boy possessed, which was why he had spared no effort.

Luckily, we brought the superpowered suicide squad this time. Otherwise, I might have ended up like Boka's team...

Major Lox secretly rejoiced before saying coldly,

"Hmph, aren't you getting smug a little too early? Werewolves aren't so easily defeated."

"Not only do werewolves possess super strength several times greater than that of ordinary people, they also have incredibly powerful regenerative abilities. No matter how severe the injury, they can recover completely in an extremely short time."

Actually, even without Major Lox's "reminder," Carl had already noticed something unusual about the werewolf.

Around the hole blasted through its chest, its flesh and tissue seemed to come "alive," rapidly wriggling and regenerating...

An injury that would have killed an ordinary person on the spot had completely healed in less than a minute.

Such formidable regeneration immediately reminded Carl of a tragic tough guy... Wolverine, Logan Howlett!!!

As one of the few remaining mutants in the world,

Carl had briefly caught sight of him through the magical light screen created by The Ancient One.

He just did not know whether the man was suffering the same fate as in the movie Logan—driving for a rideshare in Texas while looking after Professor X, who had Alzheimer's!

"Attack together! Don't give him a chance to resist..."

Major Lox's urging came from outside the barrier once again.

The instant the order was issued, the werewolf, having risen to its feet again, roared and lunged at Carl. "I'll tear you into pieces!!"

"Just you?"

Dangerous laser light flashed in Carl's eyes again.

Only this time, he locked directly onto the werewolf's head.

I refuse to believe you can revive after your head gets blown apart.

Bzzzt...!!!

However, just as the laser beams fired,

a bald man behind the werewolf took off his sunglasses and, like Carl, fired a red shockwave from his eyes.

The two energy beams collided violently in midair, erupting in bursts of dazzling light.

"Hm? I didn't expect you to have copied Cyclops' ability too?!"

A trace of anticipation appeared on Carl's face.

"Hehe, you didn't think you were the only one who could use laser eyes, did you?"

Major Lox, standing outside the barrier, said smugly,

"No. 380, although I have to admit that your abilities are powerful."

"But the facts prove that everyone has weaknesses. And you... will never escape the fate of serving the organization!"

"If you don't want to die, then give up resisting obediently and come back with me to receive your punishment."

But the moment his words fell,

he saw that, within the barrier, the golden laser beam belonging to Carl suddenly surged with power amid the seemingly evenly matched beams.

Without any effort at all, it forced the red shockwave back.

Pfft...!!!

Caught completely off guard,

Cyclops' head exploded like a watermelon.
