In a parallel branch of Marvel, in front of a portal.

Jiang Li looked at the Japan street in front of him, which was covered with cherry blossoms, and suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Gwen stopped, puzzled.

"Too peaceful." Jiang Li shook his head and casually closed the blue portal in front of him. "The streets are full of high school students with overflowing hormones. We'd probably go crazy with boredom if we stayed there for three days."

Jiang Li raised his left hand again, and the radar on the Omnitrix began to scan rapidly across the depths of the Marvel Multiverse.

Suddenly, the dial captured an extremely faint, desperate signal from the depths of the underworld.

Jiang Li reviewed the data, his eyes turning slightly cold.

Earth-807128

As Jiang Li set the coordinates, he said to Gwen, "In this universe, about fifty years ago, all the supervillains joined forces. They Carnage the Avengers, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four. Now, Red Skull is the President of the United States, and the villains have divided up the world."

Gwen gasped. "All the heroes are dead?"

"There are only a few old men left, barely clinging to life."

Jiang Li pressed the button on the dial, and a yellow portal carrying a heavy smell of sand and dust suddenly opened.

"Let's go, let's stretch our muscles in this Wasteland."

Earth-807128, California, now known as "Hulkland".

The former prosperity is long gone; all that can be seen is barren yellow sand and Gobi desert.

In front of a dilapidated farm.

An old man with gray hair and a weathered face was kneeling on the sand. He was wearing a tattered leather jacket, and his eyes were cloudy and numb.

Former X-Men, Wolverine, Logan.

But now, he's just an old farmer in the Wasteland who can't even afford the rent.

"You old fool, where's this month's rent?!"

Several thugs with pale green skin and extremely burly physiques were punching and kicking Logan. They were the Hulk Gang, the descendants of Bruce Banner, the Hulk Gang, who had multiplied in the Wasteland.

Bang!

A member of the Hulk Gang kicked Logan hard in the face, knocking him to the ground. Blood trickled from Logan's mouth, but he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, stubbornly resisting the urge to extend his claws.

Fifty years ago, on that night, he was deceived by Mysterio's illusion and personally Carnage all his fellow X-Men. From that day on, Logan swore in his heart that he would never use his claws again in his life.

"Please... give us a few more days. The crops haven't been harvested yet..." Logan pleaded, his voice utterly humble.

"Grace period? Do you think we're doing charity?"

The leader of the Hulk thugs grinned, grabbed Logan's white hair, lifted him up, and raised his massive green fist.

"If you don't pay up today, we'll take your wife and children to pay off the debt!"

Logan's pupils contracted sharply, a flash of violent killing intent crossing his eyes. But the guilt overwhelmed his instincts once more, and he closed his eyes in despair.

Bang!

A dull, loud thud.

But the fist didn't land on Logan's face.

The leader of the Hulk thugs let out a scream, his massive green body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, sending him flying more than ten meters away and smashing through the farm's wooden fence.

Logan fell to the ground and opened his eyes in a daze.

He saw an Asian youth in a black trench coat standing in front of him, slowly retracting his right leg that had been kicked out. Next to him stood a girl in a black and white battle suit.

"You're Wolverine?"

Jiang Li looked down at the weathered old man, his brows furrowed slightly.

In the Main Universe, Wolverine, though hot-tempered, is an unyielding man. This old man, who doesn't fight back and endures insults, is hard to reconcile with the Mutants warrior he once was.

"I... I'm Logan. Wolverine is long dead." Logan coughed twice, got up from the ground, and looked at Jiang Li anxiously. "Run, young man, you can't afford to mess with the Hulk Gang!"

"The Hulk Gang?"

Jiang Li turned his head and looked at the green-clad thugs who were getting up from the ground and charging towards him, roaring.

Jiang Li neither drew his weapon nor assumed a fighting stance. He simply raised his left hand and pressed the Omnitrix.

Buzz!

A flash of green light appeared. Jiang Li transformed into a slender, entirely black alien with only one green eye. Metal tentacles resembling charging plugs grew from the top of his head and the ends of his arms.

Galvan System, Conductoid.

[Feedback (Electabuzz)]!

"Tear those two meddlesome bastards to shreds!"

Relying on the powerful gamma rays within them, the Hulk thugs swung their enormous fists at Jiang Li.

"Your power source is gamma rays, right?"

Instead of retreating, Jiang Li advanced, extending his arms to meet the two thugs charging at the front.

Pfft!

The metal plugs at the ends of Jiang Li's arms pierced the chests of the two Hulk thugs without any resistance. But no blood flowed out.

"Aaaaaah!"

The two thugs suddenly let out extremely terrified screams.

They felt the green gamma rays that gave them boundless power being frantically drawn out of their bodies along Jiang Li's arm!

Jiang Li, now transformed into Conductoid, unleashed an extremely dazzling green electric light from the antennae on his head. He could not only absorb electricity, but he could devour any kind of energy without restraint!

In just five seconds.

The two green-clad thugs, who were originally over two meters tall and muscular, quickly shrank and shrank like deflated balloons.

The green skin faded, turning pale again.

Finally, with two thuds, the two thugs were reduced to emaciated, weak, ordinary humans, collapsing onto the sand, too exhausted to even stand up.

The entire room fell silent.

The remaining Hulk Gang members stared at their fallen comrade, retreating in terror. They looked at Jiang Li as if he were a demon. Absorbing gamma rays? This defied the physics of their universe!

"It's your turn."

Jiang Li raised his head, his single green eye locking onto the remaining thugs, his fingertips crackling with terrifying arcs of energy.

"Monster! Run!"

The remaining thugs completely broke down and turned to flee into the wilderness, scrambling and stumbling.

Jiang Li didn't chase after these henchmen. He deactivated his transformation, compressed the absorbed gamma energy into a cloud of waste gas in mid-air, and casually dispersed it.

He turned around and looked at Logan, who still had a blank expression on his face.

"Now, the Hulk Gang doesn't dare to come collect rent anymore."

Jiang Li stood with his hands in his pockets, his tone calm.

"But if you continue like this, your days of lingering on will never end."

Logan looked at Jiang Li, a complex emotion flashing in his cloudy eyes.

"Who... who are you? Why are you helping me?"

"I'm just a passerby who couldn't bear to see a hero fall from grace."

Jiang Li pointed to the depths of the wilderness.

"I've heard the real boss of this area is an Old Man Hulk Logan. Want to come with me?"

Jiang Li stared into Logan's eyes.

"Go and cut off that green monster's head as a gift for your return to the battlefield."
