American comic book: An aging Wolverine, doing whatever he wants.

Chapter 97 Tearing apart a tank with bare hands, is this a carbon-based life form?

"Thor is here too."

Logan frowned, gazing at the rolling thunderclouds high in the sky.

Thick thunderclouds almost completely blocked out the sunlight, plunging the entire world into darkness.

The raging lightning, like a sharp blade cleaving the sky, brought blinding flashes of light.

The thunder rumbled like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting open, stretching on and on.

The dark, heavy clouds pressed down, making it hard to breathe, like the prelude to an impending storm.

Rumble!!!

Amidst the thunder, Thor, wielding Mjolnir, clad in Asgardian armor, and with a fiery red cloak draped behind him, streaked through the clouds and passed through the lightning, descending from the sky.

boom!

The hammer slammed into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

He looked up at the tank in the middle and said coldly, "Accept the punishment of the gods!"

The next moment, the thick lightning bolts in the sky seemed to be drawn by something, and with the force of thunder, they flew down from the heavens, the rumbling thunderclap sounding like an explosion of the end of the world, stretching on and on.

The violent lightning slammed into the tank, tearing it apart instantly. An explosion erupted, and the flames from the explosion illuminated Thor's armor, making it gleam. The resulting hurricane whipped his cloak into a fluttering roar.

Thor stood in the storm, coldly watching the tank being torn to pieces and exploded in all directions by the lightning.

Brilliant arcs of electricity danced incessantly in the air, the ripped earth was filled with scorched blackness, and terrifying shockwaves swept across the land like a hurricane, causing the surrounding trees to sway uncontrollably, and the dust on the ground was whipped up by the gale, scattering in all directions like a sandstorm.

"It's finally here."

Steve, who was lying in the trench, brushed the dirt off his body, stood up, looked at Thor's back, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

"This guy..."

Natasha behind him also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the flamboyant Thor with a wry smile.

"Too weak."

Thor swung his hammer, casually kicking aside the tank in front of him, then turned to Steve and the others, looking bored. "Don't you guys have anything new to offer? Who do you expect this piece of junk to fight?"

"Fuck!"

Marcus, watching from afar, was instantly dumbfounded upon seeing the thunderous power Thor unleashed. After a long while, he murmured with wide eyes, "As expected of the God of Thunder! Who can withstand this thunderous power?!"

A single, gentle blow can destroy a main battle tank—is this something a carbon-based life form can do?

"This guy is tough to deal with..."

After a long period of shock, Victor couldn't help but murmur aloud.

He rarely admires others, and even if the enemy is stronger than him, he will usually charge forward without fear.

But now, seeing Thor unleash his thunderous power, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. In over two hundred years, few people had ever caused him such deep-seated worry.

"My god, the main battle tank, known as the king of the land, was reduced to dust in an instant. If it had hit a person, wouldn't they have been completely annihilated?"

John stared in disbelief at what was before him, his pupils fixed on Thor, truly realizing the fear of the Avengers.

Logan looked at their expressions and sighed helplessly.

What they didn't know was that Thor's current abilities were only one-tenth of his true strength.

As one of the three giants of the Avengers, this guy's strength is terrifying. His full-force lightning power can even shatter a mountain, and his physical defense is incredibly formidable.

As a descendant of the gods of Asgard, with the blood of Odin flowing through his veins, his physical body is incredibly tough. At his peak, he could even withstand the energy impact of an entire neutron star!

That level of energy is incomparable to the energy produced by the total explosion of all nuclear bombs on Earth; it could even shatter the entire Earth!

Moreover, Thor not only endured it, but he also endured it for a very long time before collapsing.

Of course, he is not that powerful yet, but his physical strength should not be underestimated. He can survive even a nuclear explosion!

After all, he was able to remain unharmed even after being swept into the black hole.

And this is just Thor alone. In addition to Thor, the current Avengers also include Hulk, who becomes stronger the angrier he gets, and Tony, who can use all sorts of unpredictable technologies.

With the addition of Captain America and Natasha, who possess exceptional combat skills, and Barton providing long-range support, it's safe to say that no force on Earth can currently rival them.

Logan knew very well that this time, successfully taking the goods away would not be so easy.

Ho ho ho! ! !

A roar came from afar. Hulk, clearly not to be outdone, frantically ran towards another tank that was trying to aim its cannon at Thor.

The enormous fist slammed heavily into the cannon barrel, and the tank's gunner hurriedly pressed the fire button in fright.

boom!!!

In an instant, the shell ignited and fired, colliding with Hulk's fist inside the cannon barrel. A violent explosion rang out, and the cannon barrel, supported by solid iron, burst open, while Hulk's hand remained unharmed.

"roar!"

He roared at the tank, grabbed the front of the tank with both hands, and easily lifted the main battle tank, which weighed tens of tons.

Then an even more horrifying scene unfolded: Hulk pulled with both hands, tearing the massive tank in half as easily as paper.

The bodies of the crew members, who had already been killed by the explosion of the shell, fell from the broken part of the tank. Hulk forcefully threw one side of the tank toward the last tank that was trying to escape.

boom!

Half of the tank's wreckage crashed heavily onto the fleeing tank, the powerful force crushing it into a pile of scrap metal, and the driver inside was crushed into a bloody pulp.

Hulk was clearly not satisfied, tearing at the remaining half of the tank wreckage in his hands.

He easily tore up tens of tons of tank wreckage like paper, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it. A perfectly good tank was reduced to dust!

Marcos and the others in the distance were completely dumbfounded.

Looking at the tank wreckage trampled on the ground by Hulk, now reduced to scrap metal, his eyes were filled with deep fear. He turned to stare at Logan, his face blank, and said, "Should we go back first? If we really run into them, I feel like that green giant could shatter me with a flick of his finger..."

John nodded blankly. "We can't beat them. How could we possibly beat them? We may be mutants, but we're still human, not gods."

Seeing these horrifying scenes, the two of them were filled with utter fear.

Forget about missions, my life is the most important thing! If I really run into these Avengers, I probably won't even be able to leave with a whole corpse!

Victor was immediately displeased by their remarks, and he smacked them hard on the head. "What are you talking about? Running away before it even starts? Surrendering has never been my habit!"

Although he was also very wary of the Avengers' strength, he was unwilling to retreat just like that. After all, stealing under the noses of such powerful people was even more exciting!

Logan nodded; he had no intention of giving up on this mission.

He took a mask out of his pocket and put it on, then said to the group, "Alright, everyone put on your masks. Let's go to the castle first. While Hydra's attention is on the Avengers, let's act quickly and steal the goods before the Avengers break in."

This was his plan. In his memory, although the battle was a complete crushing of Hydra by the Avengers, it actually took a lot of time.

Furthermore, they will encounter obstacles from Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, which presents Logan and his team with an excellent opportunity to retrieve the Mind Scepter.

After listening to Logan's words, Victor readily put on his mask, while Marcus and John glanced warily at the distant battle, gritted their teeth, and also put on their masks, covering half of their faces.

Logan is right. The battle is fierce now, which is a good time for them to fish in troubled waters!

After everyone had put on their masks, he carefully led the group toward the castle on the cliff.

This operation is extremely dangerous. If they are not careful, they might be recognized by the Avengers or S.H.I.E.L.D., and their faces might even be used to trace them back to the shelter.

To avoid causing trouble for the shelter, Logan prepared masks for the group before they set off.

The group carefully bypassed the main battlefield, intending to sneak towards the castle from the edge of the trenches.

Hydra and the Avengers are currently locked in a fierce battle.

With his enormous size, Hulk charged into one fortress after another like a tank.

Thor continued to swing his hammer, sending any Hydra soldier that came to his aid flying.

With these two paving the way, the Avengers' progress was extremely rapid.

Meanwhile, Captain America and Natasha dealt with the remaining small fry in the back, while Hawkeye Barton used various bows and arrows to take out those who planned to ambush from the shadows.

However, despite their immense power, Hydra's defenses were simply too effective, with a vast number of soldiers and artillery and troops constantly arriving to stop them, leaving the Avengers on the ground with no time to notice Logan and his team on the periphery.

As for Tony, who was flying in the sky, he had long since flown away to avoid anti-aircraft missiles, and no one knew where he was; he was nowhere to be found in the air.

"Hurry!"

At the edge of the trench, Logan urged them on in a low voice, while the men behind him ran at full speed.

They had only taken a few steps when several Hydra members suddenly appeared beside them, pointing their guns at them. "Which branch are you from? Aren't you going to stop those guys? Deserting in the face of danger? I'll shoot you all!"

A Hydra soldier stared intently at Logan and his group, clearly mistaking them for Hydra soldiers trying to escape the battlefield.

Logan and his group stopped and stared intently at the group of men.

"You bastard, I'll kill you first!"

Victor's temper flared up instantly. He extended his claws and pounced on the Hydra member who had spoken, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

The sharp tiger claws pierced the Hydra soldier's chest in an instant, and the tiger's hand gripped his heart as it emerged from his back. With a forceful squeeze, the heart shattered instantly.

The splattered blood covered Victor's face.

The sudden turn of events stunned the other Hydra soldiers, who hurriedly turned their guns to shoot Victor.

Logan reacted quickly, pulling out his pistol and precisely performing craniotomies on the soldiers next to Victor.

John and Marcus realized what was happening and quickly drew their pistols to fire.

Bang bang bang! !

After several gunshots, the Hydra soldiers fell to the ground.

After dealing with these small fry, Victor wiped his blood-stained hands on a nearby tree, quickly removing the bloodstains and bits of flesh, and looked at the corpse on the ground with disdain.

Logan put his gun away and walked over helplessly. "Victor, you're getting old, so use a gun more often. Don't always fight hand-to-hand. Your healing factor isn't as strong as it used to be."

Victor's healing factor has gradually deteriorated due to aging and the suppression of genetically modified foods, and he is no longer the immortal being he once was.

In response to Logan's warning, Victor curled his lip dismissively, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just a gun, I can handle it."

Unless the other side pulls out a rocket, Victor isn't worried at all; ordinary firearms can't kill him for the time being.

Logan shook his head helplessly, looked at the castle in the distance, and said, "Let's keep going."

……

Meanwhile, the battle on the Avengers' side remained extremely intense.

To stop the Avengers' continued attack, Hydra deployed several howitzers. These weapons, which fire large-caliber grenades, can leave a crater several meters deep in the ground with a single shot.

Boom boom boom!!!

Grenades were fired simultaneously, and hundreds of shells flew towards the Avengers.

Looking at the howitzers, Hulk roared, bent over, and shielded his face with his arms, letting the shells hit him.

Boom boom boom.

Its enormous body was instantly engulfed by the flames.

Meanwhile, Thor, wielding Mjolnir, looked at the cannons with disdain and braced himself against them.

Steve, standing behind him, frowned and hurriedly raised his shield.

Natasha and Barton quickly sought cover as well.

Boom boom boom!!!

The grenade fell, exploding into bursts of fire and ash that buried Hulk and Thor completely.

The impact of the explosion snapped all the surrounding trees in half, sending debris and dust flying, creating a hurricane-like storm.

After the first salvo was completed, the battlefield fell into a brief silence.

"roar!"

But the silence was broken by a roar, and Hulk's massive body emerged from the dust, his expression growing increasingly furious.

Thor, on the other side, also clapped his hands, brushed the dust off his face, and appeared unharmed. He looked at the row of grenade launchers and swung Mjolnir with all his might.

His body flew out with Thor's hammer, which slammed down with force. The hammer unleashed a powerful burst of lightning, directly blowing the entire howitzer position away. Dozens of howitzers were completely destroyed as if they were made of paper!

With the howitzer positions taken out, Thor once again swung his hammer, relentlessly sweeping through trench after trench, like a god of war, eliminating these Hydra minions.

They even had time to come to Steve's side and work together with him, striking the shield with a hammer to unleash terrifying lightning power and clear a large area of ​​the battlefield.

Watching Thor rampage across the battlefield from afar, Hulk was clearly displeased with his ostentatious behavior. His anger deepened, and his massive body charged once more towards the runners who were relentlessly firing.

Boom boom boom!!!

His immense power destroyed one fortress after another, and with each charge, the rage on his face deepened.

Barton noticed the change in Hulk's expression and frowned, saying, "Oh no, Hulk is about to lose control!"

After listening to the audio in his headphones, Steve kicked one of the henchmen in front of him away and stared at Hulk's charging figure with a furrowed brow.

He understood that if the Hulk went completely out of control and rushed into nearby cities, it would bring unimaginable disaster.

"Natasha, go and calm Hulk down. Thor, we'll continue the attack!"

Steve spoke into his headset, then continued wielding his shield, fighting off the Hydra soldiers who were charging towards him recklessly.

Without tank and howitzer positions, the only purpose of these grunts is to risk their lives to slow down the Avengers' advance.

With the cooperation of several Avengers, the battle line advanced step by step, leaving behind piles of corpses.

Meanwhile, Logan and his men had arrived at the foot of the castle, successfully climbed onto the balcony, and entered the castle from there.

Looking back at the ongoing battle below, the group couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Along the way, thanks to the Avengers' distraction, no Hydra soldiers paid any attention to them, and they traveled unimpeded.

"Let's go. McCain said the goods are downstairs; it's a scepter."

Logan withdrew his gaze and urged the others beside him to hurry up.

Although the mission was about to be completed, he did not feel much joy.

After all, the Mind Stone contains the Infinity Stones, and countless forces are coveting it. If Logan succeeds in obtaining it, who knows if he will cause even more trouble.

Victor, unaware of Logan's inner turmoil, watched the Avengers fighting in the distance and jokingly remarked, "I hope these Hydra guys can hold out a bit longer so we can take what's ours."

Although the Avengers were very strong, Victor couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how furious they would be when they stormed into the castle only to find that everything had been stolen.

"What are you talking about?"

boom!

Just as Victor finished speaking, a clear voice suddenly rang in their ears.

A steel-clad red figure descended from the sky, looking at Logan and the others with a slightly nonchalant tone, while speaking into the communicator: "Captain, it seems that it's not just Hydra eyeing the scepter, but also a few stowaways trying to sneak into the castle. We almost became their cover."

"Tony Stark."

Logan stared at the figure, his brow furrowed.

Upon hearing Logan's voice, Tony was clearly taken aback, feeling that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Looking closely at Logan, even though half of Logan's face was covered by a mask, Tony still recognized Logan's identity.

"You...you look familiar. Have we met before?"

He stared at Logan, and Jarvis began scanning Logan's face, deducing what Logan truly looked like beneath the mask.

Tony seemed to remember something too, and murmured, "We must have met before, it seems like... at the airport?"
