In an instant, there was dead silence!
Logan's breathing gradually became heavy and rapid, his eyes changing from anticipation to astonishment, then from astonishment to anger, and finally turning into towering rage.
"You—are—seeking—Death!!!"
With a swish, the shining claws went straight for Samuel.
The explosive power was so strong, and the speed was so fast, that no one around reacted.
By the time they reacted, Logan's sharp claws were already within inches of Samuel, and in the next second, they would pierce his throat!
But that second would never come.
The claws disappeared.
To be precise, the Adamantium claws pierced the space in front of Samuel, and the enraged Logan was stunned.
He was clearly within reach, yet it felt like there was a World between them!
Logan retracted his fist, roared, and lunged at Samuel again.
It was as if there was a transparent door connecting to other spaces in front of Samuel; from the side, the Adamantium claws disappeared as they entered.
Logan, unwilling to give up, snorted and bypassed the front, thrusting again from the side.
However, the Adamantium claws disappeared just the same.
Logan then went around behind Samuel, but the result was still the same!
Looking at Logan circling him, Samuel said with a smile, "Save your strength. If you could hurt me, you wouldn't have amnesia now."
"My amnesia has something to do with You?"
"Not much, but this Adamantium skeleton of Yours has a deep connection with me. You could say... I gave it to You!"
Logan stopped, panting heavily, staring intently at him: "Who exactly are You!"
"My name is Samuel."
"Samuel..." Logan muttered the name, but had no impression of it.
"Why do You also have this?" Logan raised his Adamantium claws.
Samuel said with a smile, "I have many abilities. This is just the most inconspicuous one, for example..."
"Bang!"
Logan flew backward uncontrollably and crashed heavily against the wall.
"Is it very familiar? That's right, this is Magneto's ability. The ability to control metal and magnetic fields completely counters You!"
"And..."
Samuel opened his palm, and the nails on his fingers slowly extended, becoming sharp and pointed.
"You are Wolverine, and this is Your brother Sabretooth's ability. Do You have any impression?"
"My brother... Sabretooth..." Logan frowned in thought, but had no impression.
"Then... how about this?!"
Samuel flipped his palm, and Logan felt an immense gravity sweep over him, directly pressing him firmly to the ground.
Logan was stunned, his expression somewhat dazed. This feeling seemed familiar to him, as if he had experienced it before, and the impression was very deep.
"No way? You can't remember Your enemy, You can't remember Your brother, but You remember my ability? Let me tell You upfront, I'm not playing any love-hate drama with You."
Samuel was also speechless. He was just trying it out casually, but he didn't expect him to actually have an impression.
What is this, did he get muscle memory from being beaten by himself? It didn't seem like he had beaten him many times back then.
"Cough cough--"
Looking at Logan being beaten in various ways by Samuel, or rather, the crowd watching Samuel show off his abilities were startled by the coughing sound and looked towards the Professor who appeared in a wheelchair.
"I already know the details of the mission. You all did very well, especially Katie, who performed exceptionally well." The Professor nodded approvingly at Shadowcat and the others, and said warmly, "It's getting late. You should go back and get some rest."
Shadowcat and the others didn't want to rest; they wanted to watch the drama. However, the Professor had spoken, so they reluctantly dispersed.
The wheelchair came in front of Logan, and the Professor smiled and said, "Long time no see, Logan."
Logan felt the gravity on his body disappear, got up and dusted off his clothes, and frowned, "You know me too?"
The Professor nodded, "I saved You, and some other Mutants."
Logan snorted, "Can You tell me exactly what happened completely? One says he gave me the Adamantium skeleton, one says he saved me, and in a moment, someone else will come out and say something else, won't they?"
"You go ahead, I'm not very interested in him." Samuel said to the Professor, waved at Jean Grey and Storm, and left with his people.
The Professor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Samuel would be interested in Wolverine. When it came to recruiting people, no, it was about taking people in, he couldn't compare to Samuel.
The X-Men fought desperately with Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants to save humanity, but Samuel didn't make a move, yet he took in another Mutant.
This made the Professor very envious.
Therefore, he wanted to keep Wolverine.
...
The next day.
The sun was bright, and birds were singing and flowers were fragrant.
Samuel sat on a bench on the playground with his eyes closed, perceiving the mysteries of space.
Time is supreme, space is King, power is paramount, destiny is supreme. Without destiny, karma reigns!
As his understanding of space deepened and his insights increased, Samuel gradually felt a sense of learning. Learning makes me happy, becoming stronger - makes me even happier!
Because of the system, he basically had a preliminary grasp of the abilities as soon as he obtained them and could use them skillfully. Moreover, the abilities were obtained too easily. Want to continue to become stronger? Just find stronger abilities, and he didn't have any idea of self-Enlightenment or strengthening practice.
Phoenix Force is different. It covers too many abilities and can also merge with his other abilities.
If he doesn't explore and practice, he will become like Jean Grey, holding a killing weapon but only being able to use it as a fire poker.
"Buzz--"
The trembling sound of cicadas rose, and the space in front of him changed from virtual to real, from real to virtual, constantly changing.
Virtual and real alternated, and the space gradually changed. From afar, a blurry figure appeared, approaching from far to near, becoming clear from virtual to real.
"Master, Master?" Angel Salvadore said in surprise.
Samuel smiled and hummed, saying, "I'm just trying out a new ability. Don't be nervous, go back."
After speaking, he waved his hand.
Angel Salvadore instantly retreated. As she retreated, her figure gradually blurred until it disappeared, and the space returned to normal.
"What are You doing? Who was that person just now?" A curious voice came from behind.
Samuel patted the chair, and saw Storm, wearing a white T-shirt, sit down.
"You know I'm interested in You, right?"
Storm was stunned, and pouted, "As long as it's a woman, You're interested."
Samuel shrugged nonchalantly, "Maybe it's because I'm too strong? Just like a beast King, he naturally sees all the females in his territory as his own. I'm the same, except I'm only interested in those who make me interested."
"That sounds good, but who knows what kind of person will make You interested? You even wanted someone with snake skin all over. Your standard of interest, hehe..."
Is she talking about Stacy X?
The corner of Samuel's mouth lifted, and he suddenly smiled, "Are You jealous?"
Storm seemed to be hit in the heart and quickly said, "Who's jealous? Can't You tell I'm looking down on You?"
"Why look down on me?"
"You have Nightcrawler and Anna by Your side, and then You flirted with Jean, and there's Katie, You took her out, didn't You?"
"You tell me, why do I look down on You?"
"You seem to have missed someone."
"Who?"
"You!"
