Chapter 221 Wolverine - From the Age of Ultron

Wolverine remained silent.

Seemingly worried that Wolverine, whose education level was almost identical to that of a novice, wouldn't understand, Joey simply changed to a way that the other party could understand:

"How about we start by asking you from the point in time when you traveled through time to find 'Ant-Man'?"

......

Wolverine remained silent.

This put Joey and Iron Man in a difficult position:

"How do we deal with such a 'tough guy'?"

Batman, stared at by the expectant gazes of the two, suddenly felt that no matter who it was, being with Superman would make their brains rust.

Although Batman himself doesn't seem like a good person, he can't just interrogate someone without knowing any of the background information, can he?

not to mention.

Amidst the silence of the four present, Batman finally lost his temper, pointing to the electromagnetic controller in Tony's hand and revealing the reason for Wolverine's silence:

"His entire skeleton is made of an unknown magnetic metal. Perhaps you should reduce the magnetic force first, so that his mouth and jaw can move a little?"

"This is what you asked for." Iron Man took two steps back and began operating the equipment in his hands:

"Reduce voltage—"

Kama!

Wolverine's three adamantium claws immediately pierced through flesh, and the weakening of the electromagnetic force allowed him to break free. He raised his claws and attacked the three men.

Upon seeing this, Batman frowned and immediately shielded Superman in front of him.

Joey was speechless. With these two unreliable teammates around, how could he not get beaten up every day?

He blew a soft breath, which solidified into ice, freezing Wolverine's lower body in place:

"Are you rabid or what? We just met, and you attacked us first! And now you want to do it again?"

To this day, he still doesn't understand why the other party harbors such extreme malice towards the three of them, to the point that they launched an attack without warning.

Once again unable to move, Wolverine realized he had no chance of escape against the three men before him, and finally snapped, "You attacked first, trying to drag me here!"

As a successful businessman, one of Tony's favorite things to do was nitpick over words: "It's 'please,' not 'arrest.'"

It was just that he used a little forceful means in the middle of the "please" process. He couldn't just let such a dangerous person with an indestructible alloy skeleton and a pair of steel claws sticking out of his hands wander around New York City, could he?

Wolverine clearly disagreed with Tony's statement: "Fuck you!"

"Your mouth is so dirty? Fuck you!"

"Fuck you!"

Just as Iron Man and Wolverine were starting an endless loop, Joey had no choice but to find something that could pry Wolverine's mouth open, such as the death record of Ant-Man Hank Pym.

"Wait two seconds."

If it weren't for the time constraints, Joey would have really wanted Tony to push forward the digitization of all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s data. Unfortunately, Joey can only use his own manual screening mechanism to find them one by one.

Broaden your mind and expand your horizons; just seconds later, having obtained the result, Joey quickly shut down the super senses that covered the entire Earth.

"Found it."

Joey's figure flashed in everyone's eyes, and he already had a stack of thin file folders in his hand—the records of Ant-Man's death case from back then.

In this universe, Ant-Man died young, and the cause of death is unknown.

Now that Wolverine, who claims to "belong to this universe," has returned, the unsolved mystery of Ant-Man Hank Pym's death many years ago may finally be resolved.

After taking the documents out of the manila envelope, Joey raised his hand and handed one of them to Wolverine:

"Is there anything you need to explain?"

This is one of a stack of color photographs, showing the scene of the incident when Ant-Man died.

Ant-Man developed the "Pym Particles," which allow him to freely enlarge or shrink his body to deal with different challenges. However, not all challenges are within the scope of the Pym Particles' ability to solve.

For example, in the last moments of his life, he enlarged his body, preparing to fight a desperate battle against the unknown in the laboratory.

All that remained was the enormous body that nearly filled the entire laboratory, and three fatal penetrating wounds on the corpse's jaw.

Holding irrefutable photos of the crime scene and questioning a suspect who has already been apprehended, Joey always felt that this was something only Batman should do, to the point that he felt incredibly awkward doing it himself.

Even if it's awkward, it has to be done, right? Even as a super detective, Joey has no choice but to take the case seriously first:

"Although I don't know where S.H.I.E.L.D. hid Ant-Man's body, I'm sure the penetrating wound on his body matches the size of your claws."

Faced with Joey's questioning, Wolverine looked at the three wounds in the photo, then at his own claws, and then with a snort, retracted them.

"Steel claws? What steel claws?"

Seeing that this guy was determined to refuse a toast and only accept the cooking wine, and knowing that Joey didn't have much talent for interrogation, and not wanting to actually take the clueless Wolverine for a spin in the sun, he simply said the answer himself:

"There is only one truth—you, Wolverine, somehow traveled through time, went back to the past, and killed Ant-Man."

"As for why you did this, the reason is that Dr. Pym created an existence at that point in time that none of you combined could match in the future."

"From the moment it was born, it began to execute its own plan, which you thwarted time and time again. Yet it could not be killed. It continued to evolve and upgrade endlessly with each failure, always coming back stronger until the very last time, when you all lost completely."

Its name is one—

Wolverine, who had been feigning ignorance, suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and stared intently at Joey, uttering the same name as him:

"Ultron".

Yes, unlike a family-friendly cinematic universe, in most universes, Ultron's creator is not Iron Man Tony Stark.

Although Tony Stark has done many outrageous things in most universes, this is the one thing he really didn't do.

Ultron, the original creator of the deadliest AI in the Marvel Universe, was Ant-Man, Dr. Hank Pym.

Moreover, unlike the Ultron in the cinematic universe who was born rashly, lived confusedly, and died unjustly, the Ultron in the comic book universe, born from Ant-Man, proceeded step by step and ultimately truly achieved his goal.

It slaughtered most of the Avengers and other superheroes, wiped out the vast majority of carbon-based life on Earth, and established a true mechanical empire, an era unique to Ultron.

The surviving Avengers on Earth have no chance of winning and can only eke out a living.

Essentially, this is an apocalyptic universe that follows the same trajectory as the Flashpoint universe.

Faced with such a predicament, someone would naturally think of an obvious solution: go back in time and kill Ant-Man before he created Ultron.

As for the consequences of disrupting the timeline?

Given the current state of human civilization falling apart, wouldn't any other consequences be better than the current situation?

In his search for a suitable Wolverine, Deadpool encountered countless Wolverines from across the multiverse, and the Wolverine Joey was facing was the one who traveled back in time to kill Ant-Man.

"No matter what, human civilization still exists."

Having said all that, Wolverine knew there was no point in hiding it any longer, and his tense muscles relaxed.

"Feel free to express your gratitude to me; I can reply to each of you with 'You're welcome.'"

From Wolverine's perspective, he traveled back in time, prevented the birth of Ultron, and saved the Earth, which had long been reduced to ashes, and the entire human civilization. He was undoubtedly the one who saved the entire world.

"spray!"

Now Joey knows why he's under so much pressure in this universe—it turns out there's another universe that shouldn't exist in the first place.

If time travel were as simple as Wolverine described, that would be great. Unfortunately, reality is quite different.

Just like in "Flashpoint," neither Nora Allen nor Hank Pym are significant to the timeline.

However, the act of time travel itself is devastating to the integrity of spacetime, and neither Barry Allen nor Wolverine probably realized this when they did it.

Wolverine, with his extremely simple worldview, made a simple decision: he firmly believed that after traveling through time to kill Ant-Man,

Ultron is gone, and the future will be better than before.

Joey, who had just been brutally beaten by Galactus and Doomsday, clearly disagreed, and his gaze towards Wolverine now held a hint of annoyance.

"I can't offer you thanks. If you insist, all I can give you is two slaps."
