"This is the place."
Wolverine Logan roughly sorted out his thoughts and decided how to proceed. In the dark of night, his sturdy figure was like a lone, arrogant night wolf, carrying killing intent and a strong will for revenge, as he approached a detached house not far away.
The wooden door of the house was easily ripped open. Logan's expression grew sharper; at this moment, his mind was entirely focused on avenging Charles, and he didn't even realize his face had become somewhat ferocious.
Under the cover of night, he stepped onto the cobblestone path of the small courtyard. Due to his agitated state, he didn't even bother to muffle his footsteps. Thus, his pace quickened, his breathing became more rapid, and he impatiently headed towards the main door on the other side.
This time, he learned his lesson and would definitely not break in through the window on the other side because that was the room where the middle-aged lady slept. He went around to the back of the courtyard. He planned to easily slice through the back door's balcony door with his Adamantium claws.
If he hadn't deduced incorrectly, Alex's figure would surely be lying in that back bedroom. Brat!! Prepare to die!
Logan pressed his clenched fist against the balcony door at the back. With a clang, his Adamantium claws easily pierced through the lock of the security door. The entire door was then gently pushed open by him.
After being reminded, Logan knew that the unawakened Alex wouldn't pose too many surprises. Instead, his younger sister, Susan, had already displayed molecular mimicry teleportation abilities, so he had to be careful that she didn't take her brother away.
He held his breath, straining to keep it in, but this only made the murderous expression on his face more ferocious and flushed. Especially as his crouched body moved forward slightly, his styled hair looked like two horns growing on either side. Thus, at this moment, Logan truly resembled a starving beast cautiously approaching its prey.
Inside the house, Alex still lay on the bed. However, his slightly drowsy eyes became increasingly clear. Soon, after receiving the memories in his mind, his childish face grew colder. He already understood why he was here...
Dozens of seconds ago, he was still in a crater in Capital City. Triumphant, he mercilessly annihilated a group of Superheroes who had deceived him. But it was then that he felt a boundless killing intent surge from his battle intuition, more dangerous than at any other time.
He quickly realized this wasn't a real-world killer intent. Someone hidden in the dark was trying to manipulate the real timeline. He acutely sensed this warning. This, of course, was impossible before. But who could blame it? The other party had already tried once.
Just like that, Alex completely relaxed his mind, allowing an inexplicable mental fluctuation to sweep away a wisp of his consciousness, as if it was traversing an endless tunnel. Immediately, he realized his consciousness was traveling through the river of time, constantly tracing back, bringing a wisp of his will to over a year ago.
He woke up. The just-twelve-year-old Alex's mind was completely occupied by a wisp of his future self's will from a year later. He slightly moved his right hand, immediately feeling a surge of power. Within his thoughts, a powerful telekinesis surged. It seemed that the wisp of will that traveled through time also brought power.
Just then, a startled female voice came from the hallway outside. It was his mother, carrying a basket of laundry and heading to the balcony, who was suddenly terrified. In the dim light of the night corridor, she suddenly discovered a monster with a ferocious face, like a ghost, crouching by the corridor.
At that moment, she had forgotten to take her blood pressure medication, causing her head to spin from the fright. In an instant, the world spun, and she suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.
Wolverine Logan cursed under his breath. He didn't bother with the middle-aged lady but instead lunged directly towards another bedroom a few meters away. The sudden fright must have woken the child inside. He had to kill Alex completely before the other party could react.
Logan's robust and tall figure instantly crashed through the bedroom door. However, before he could charge further into the bedroom, his entire body suddenly became immobile, as if trapped in a swamp. Soon, his figure became completely motionless, lifted off the ground by an invisible restraining force.
"It was you who was causing trouble!"
The twelve-year-old Alex sat on the bed. At this moment, he had lost his childishness, his face was angry, and his right hand was extended forward, using telekinesis to restrain the other party. He immediately recognized the person's identity.
Wolverine Logan! This was the initial product of X-Weapon; the experimental base had this information. He then read the other party's mind and immediately realized the so-called 'reverse the future' plan. It turned out that the remaining X-Men were secretly causing trouble.
Alex already realized his mother had been scared unconscious. Uncontrolled emotions instantly erupted into rage. The killing intent was impossible to suppress, and the figure before him was twisted alive like a pretzel.
Susan, on the other bed, was sound asleep, spared from fright by a psychic hypnosis Alex had cast on her, so there was no movement. However, the twisted figure before him suddenly blurred. It truly disappeared quickly like a ghost.
It turned out that Shadowcat, who was outside, felt Wolverine on the stone platform constantly trembling and frothing at the mouth, and so she cut off the energy maintaining the time travel. The entire timeline collapsed again. No new future was generated.
Alex already felt a wisp of his will being forcibly pulled towards the river of time, but at this moment, he gritted his teeth, dragging the boundless restraining force, and walked out of the room, just to see his mother one last time. He hadn't seen his mother in a long time, and even seeing her in this collapsing and shattered timeline brought him a sense of satisfaction.
After that one glance, a wisp of his will surged into the river of time, returning to the future. The X-Men's 'reverse the future' plan failed again. But it was still like last time, like a broken string stirring up waves of sound. The collapsing timeline still stirred up some residual reality effects, causing some indescribable mental impact.
Reality, after all, had changed a tiny bit. Just this tiny bit... so weak, even negligible, yet it caused the suddenly awakened Alex to erupt in fury.
At that moment, the sky of Earth suddenly darkened, and the Sun's light was mercilessly obscured.
