Chapter 278 - Chapter 278: The father is kind and the son is filial!

Uchiha Madara also sighed: "Why did this happen? They used to be such good brothers. And between them, there was nothing that should have destroyed their relationship."

Howard Stark said, speechless: "Sabretooth killed Wolverine's wife—it seems impossible for them to reconcile. Especially since Sabretooth beat and humiliated Wolverine when he rushed to avenge his wife. Why didn't Sabretooth take the opportunity to kill Wolverine?"

Howard Stark: "Wait! Both Sabretooth and Wolverine have incredibly strong vitality and self-healing powers. Sabretooth must know very well that he can't kill Wolverine. But even if he can't kill him, he could have trapped him!"

Senju Tobirama: "That's right! If one has strong vitality and self-healing power, sealing techniques can handle such troublesome opponents very well. Even if there are no sealing techniques in the Marvel world, they must have physical methods of containment?"

Howard Stark: "Physical containment? Of course they have those. I can think of quite a few examples—seal him in cement, bury him alive with his limbs bound, or tie him up completely and throw him into the ocean..."

Lucas: "No! Sabretooth didn't kill Wolverine because he's an alternative version of Uchiha Itachi."

Uchiha Shisui was stunned: "Uchiha Itachi? Could it be that Sabretooth was being manipulated by Stryker and wanted to protect Wolverine in this way?"

Lucas: "No, Sabretooth just wanted Wolverine to come back to him. It's a bit of a complicated relationship between brothers."

Senju Hashirama was stunned and said, "Group Leader, are you kidding me? Sabretooth killed Wolverine's wife just to bring him back? I can't understand this logic. Wolverine was determined to take revenge on Sabretooth."

Lucas: "What if Wolverine's wife's death was staged by Stryker, and it was all just an act? Stryker's target was Wolverine from the beginning. After Wolverine rejected his proposal, he came up with this plan and had Sabretooth act it out."

Howard Stark wondered: "What was his purpose in doing this?"

Lucas: "Experimentation! The military used vibranium as a raw material to make a high-strength alloy—adamantium. Stryker wanted to inject this liquid alloy into Wolverine's body to strengthen his bone claws into a weapon."

Lucas: "Stryker succeeded! To gain the power to take revenge on Sabretooth, Wolverine agreed to Stryker's proposal. He voluntarily participated in the experiment, had the alloy liquid injected into his body, and his entire skeleton became adamantium, including his claws."

Sebastian Shaw: "Why would Stryker give Wolverine this opportunity? Especially after manipulating him—wasn't he afraid Wolverine would seek revenge once he learned the truth?"

Lucas: "Adamantium is very special. Once cooled, it's almost impossible to melt again. To inject the liquid alloy into a living body, the metal must be kept at a temperature of several thousand degrees. In Stryker's assessment, only Wolverine and Sabretooth could survive this experiment."

Senju Tobirama: "Compared to Wolverine, isn't Sabretooth more obedient? Wait, I understand! Since this was the first experiment, Stryker wasn't certain of success. Sabretooth was obedient, so Stryker didn't want to risk using him as the guinea pig."

Lucas: "After the experiment succeeded, before Wolverine got off the operating table, Stryker ordered his subordinates to erase Wolverine's memory, intending to make him his loyal weapon."

Lucas: "But Wolverine, who regained consciousness earlier than expected, overheard these orders. He broke free from the operating table and escaped the experimental base. After another thrilling chase, Wolverine finally returned to the base and fought the transformed Deadpool."

Howard Stark said, speechless: "Deadpool had so many abilities—if Gengetsu Hōzuki hadn't intervened, could Wolverine have defeated him?"

Lucas: "Theoretically impossible, but Wolverine was that world's Child of Destiny!"

Shiki the Golden Lion said unhappily, "That's disgusting! If you can't win and yet still win—can the world get any better?"

Lucas: "Look, Shiki! Every world has its Child of Destiny, and no one can change that. Even in the same world, different eras have different Children of Destiny. For example, in your world, Roger and Luffy are both Children of Destiny, just from different eras."

Whitebeard laughed and said, "Gurarararara! Shiki, you should feel honored. Not everyone has the opportunity to become the life-or-death enemy of two Children of Destiny!"

Shiki the Golden Lion said disdainfully, "Whitebeard, who do you think I am? How could such a boring thing make me proud? I only feel regret and resentment when facing a Child of Destiny!"

Howard Stark: "If Wolverine defeated Deadpool, why did he lose his memory?"

Lucas: "Stryker shot him with a special adamantium bullet—that kind of ammunition can erase memories. Wolverine not only lost his memory, but his wife truly died. Although Wolverine is a Child of Destiny, he's a very tragic one."

Howard Stark said, speechless: "Then he is truly pitiful!"

Han Fei: "Group Leader, I have a question. I've observed that Hong Xuanji seems to have a son named 'Yi.' The child's mother is not a simple woman—she's Meng Bingyun, sister of Meng Shenji."

Lucas: "I know what you want to ask. Your guess is correct—that child is the future Child of Destiny. But now that you've written the 'Book of Changes' in advance, his fate has also changed."

Han Fei sighed: "Regardless, I stole his important opportunity. I want to make amends by taking him from Hong Xuanji's home. I want him to become my disciple, and I will train him well."

Pirate King Roger said unhappily: "Han Fei, what do you mean? If you want to train him, just train him—why take him from his home? It's not like he's parentless."

Han Fei: "That's what puzzles me as well. Hong Xuanji treats Meng Bingyun and her child very poorly. The two of them are like servants in the Hong family because Meng Bingyun is merely Hong Xuanji's concubine."

Lucas: "That's normal! Hong Xuanji's Dao is 'reason,' and according to his principles, a concubine has no status. If he didn't want his Dao to be broken and his martial progress to stagnate, he couldn't stop his wife from mistreating Meng Bingyun and her son."

Whitebeard said, speechless: "What the hell is this Dao? Just because of this, he allows his family to be hurt? And Hong Xuanji's wife—why does she persecute Meng Bingyun's son?"

Lucas said impatiently, "Don't be so naive! How could you, an old pirate who's been a bachelor for decades, understand the open and secret power struggles of elite families?"

Shiki the Golden Lion pondered: "Shihahaha! I think I understand—the price of preventing family members from hurting each other is that he can't continue to grow stronger?"

Whitebeard said dismissively, "What kind of price is that?"

Lucas shook his head and said, "It's not the same! Your strength can no longer improve, but Hong Xuanji can still advance with diligence. He's a man who hopes to break through to the void. How could he sacrifice martial advancement for love?"

Lucas: "What's more, Meng Bingyun's intentions aren't pure. She seems to want to hinder Hong Xuanji from growing stronger. Although they once had a deep connection and shared life-and-death experiences, when feelings meet self-interest, things become complicated."

Liu Xing: "How troublesome!"

Lucas: "Don't worry! Don't forget, they're all under my control now. When I go back, I'll make Hong Xuanji change his mind."

Zheng Qizi said, stunned: "Reshaping his Dao Heart? That's very complicated and risky."

Lucas: "It doesn't matter! Anyway, even if I fail, I have nothing to lose."

Zheng Qizi: "..."

Speechless!

Dongfang Yuechu: "Hong Xuanji watches the Child of Destiny being mistreated for the sake of his own strength. Will Hong Xuanji benefit from the rise of the Child of Destiny? Although the Child of Destiny is his son, there's no guarantee he won't seek revenge!"

Lucas sneered: "Benefits? What benefits do you expect? In the original future, Hong Xuanji personally orchestrated Meng Bingyun's death. The Child of Destiny was suppressed and abused by him since childhood, and eventually became his enemy."

Whitebeard sighed: "This is truly tragic! How can Hong Xuanji have such a nonsensical Dao?"

Lucas said indifferently: "Is it nonsense? Not at all! Pursuing the peak of martial arts is a long and tedious process, but life offers many interesting diversions. Meng Bingyun's love was interesting to Hong Xuanji, but it hindered his pursuit of martial perfection."

Pirate King Roger asked, puzzled: "How could it hinder him? Wouldn't having someone accompany him be more motivating?"

Lucas said, exasperated: "Roger, you're being naive! Human energy is limited—time spent on love means less time pursuing martial arts. Do you understand? For those who pursue the great Dao, emotions are a burden, which is why many choose the path of ruthlessness."

Liu Xing: "What was the final outcome between Hong Xuanji and the Child of Destiny?"

Lucas: "Hong Xuanji and Yang Pan pursued order and absolute rule over the people. The Child of Destiny pursued freedom. Their positions, ideologies, and personal grievances made them completely hostile. In the end, when Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji lost to the Child of Destiny, they were beheaded by him!"

Howard Stark said emotionally: "This truly is 'the father is kind and the son is filial'!"

Han Fei wondered: "Hasn't the Child of Destiny's action caused any negative consequences? As far as I know, filial piety is still highly valued in that world."

Lucas: "Don't worry! Before doing this, the Child of Destiny had already dismembered his own body. He gave up the blood and flesh that Hong Xuanji gave him, cutting off his connection with Hong Xuanji. The Child of Destiny wanted to be a saint, so naturally he didn't leave any leverage against himself."
