Under the combined pursuit of soldiers and snipers, Alex finally reached his original destination.
Ahead of him stood a laboratory building marked with a large “4.”
“Finally here.”
Without hesitation, Alex raised his leg and kicked the metal door with full force.
BOOM!
The heavy metal door caved inward.
But despite the massive dent—
It stubbornly remained standing.
Still carrying out its duty of preventing intruders from entering.
“Well damn…”
Alex clicked his tongue.
No one else knew how powerful that kick had been.
But he did.
Years of enhancement from the Annihilation Eyes had pushed his body far beyond human limits.
That kick alone carried impact comparable to being hit head-on by a speeding car.
And yet—
It still hadn’t broken the door.
The laboratory’s defenses were absurdly sturdy.
“Let’s see how many kicks you can take!”
Alex’s competitive side flared up.
Stepping back several paces, he took a deep breath—
Then charged.
BOOOOM!!
This time—
The metal door finally surrendered.
It flew backward like a launched missile.
After traveling over ten meters, it smashed into a machine.
The impact instantly reduced the expensive-looking equipment to scrap.
“Heh!”
Alex grinned proudly.
Completely ignoring the destruction behind him, he stepped into the laboratory.
He casually looked around—
Then immediately headed toward the right side.
The laboratory itself looked similar to countless others.
Electronic equipment filled the room.
Cables spread across the floor like spider webs.
Of course—
As a complete technology idiot, Alex had zero interest in any of it.
His attention was focused elsewhere.
Something very out of place.
In the corner sat a giant glass display case.
Inside were several cold weapons carefully preserved.
The glass clearly wasn’t ordinary.
It looked more like reinforced bulletproof material.
In an era ruled by firearms—
Protecting swords and blades this carefully felt incredibly strange.
Inside were all kinds of weapons:
Eastern spears.
Long swords.
Military combat knives.
But most numerous were Japanese weapons:
Katanas.
Daggers.
Short blades.
Even grappling claw tools.
The collection was surprisingly complete.
Alex’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Good stuff…”
“Didn’t expect these foreigners to appreciate katanas too!”
Remembering how stubborn the laboratory door had been, Alex didn’t hold back this time.
He gathered all his strength and punched downward.
CRACK!!
The reinforced glass shattered instantly.
“Ohhh…”
“Perfect weight.”
Alex lifted a katana and tested it. The source of this chapter is g.com.
Instantly—
He loved it.
After all—
No true anime fanatic could refuse a katana.
Feeling excited, he decided to test its sharpness.
Walking over to a metal machine nearby, he swung toward an exposed pipe.
SWISH!
Only the sound of cutting air echoed.
Nothing else.
It almost felt like the blade had sliced through empty space.
Then—
CLANG!
The pipe dropped onto the floor.
Cut cleanly in half.
Alex’s eyes widened.
“Cuts steel like mud…”
“THIS is what they mean by cuts steel like mud!”
He almost shouted in excitement.
“There wasn’t even resistance!”
“This is absolutely a legendary weapon!”
Like a child who had just gotten his favorite toy, Alex happily swung the katana around.
Then his gaze shifted back toward the display case.
And he suddenly thought of his friends back in America.
“Those two love cold weapons…”
“If I brought these back…”
“They’d freak out.”
Without hesitation, Alex started grabbing everything.
Katanas.
Daggers.
Combat knives.
Grappling claws.
Using the grappling rope, he bundled everything together.
Fortunately all the blades already had sheaths.
Otherwise carrying them would’ve been a nightmare.
After thinking a moment—
Alex selected one dagger he particularly liked and slipped it into his right pocket.
The rest he tied behind his back.
Meanwhile he kept the katana in his right hand.
“Alright.”
“Got what I wanted.”
“Time to get back to business.”
Smiling in satisfaction, Alex walked toward the exit.
Outside—
He could already hear approaching footsteps.
“Time to clean up these extras.”
Rushing out, Alex never noticed the words engraved beneath the display case:
Adamantium
Naturally—
He had no idea what he’d just stolen.
Adamantium.
Virtually indestructible.
Impossible to wear down.
One of Earth’s strongest metals.
Created by mixing extraterrestrial meteor material with carbon alloys.
Harder than diamonds.
Even temperatures of 500,000°C couldn’t melt it once stabilized.
Its composition remained one of the United States government’s greatest secrets.
Money couldn’t buy it.
Originally, Laboratory Four had produced Adamantium weapons.
Later, after Stryker successfully transformed Logan into Wolverine, the project had been abandoned.
These weapons had remained sealed away ever since.
During his earlier scouting, Alex had spotted them with Clairvoyance.
His instincts told him they were valuable.
So naturally—
He came.
“All units authorized to fire on sight!”
The captain’s voice rang through communicators.
Every soldier instantly tensed.
Weapons ready.
The laboratory became surrounded.
Then—
Alex stepped out.
And hell broke loose.
“OPEN FIRE!”
Bullets poured down like rain.
Massive soldiers screamed while firing nonstop.
Mixed into the barrage—
High-explosive grenades.
Behind them—
Rocket launchers waited.
The situation had become deadly.
Alex smiled.
A smile dripping with bloodlust.
“If you’re after my life…”
“Then there’s nothing left to discuss.”
Crimson crosses emerged inside his eyes.
The world reflected in his pupils turned red.
The next moment—
Alex vanished.
Like an illusion.
Then—
“AAAAHHHH!!”
Three soldiers screamed miserably.
Turning to look—
Everyone froze.
The soldiers had been sliced cleanly in half at the waist.
Blood flooded everywhere.
Dead instantly.
Nearby soldiers stared in horror.
Then—
A brilliant blade flashed through the air.
Drawing an elegant arc.
The katana swept across another soldier’s throat.
“Y-you…”
“Monster…”
Before he could finish—
Blood erupted skyward.
Then—
THUD
He collapsed.
“Devil!”
“Monster!!”
“AAAAAHHHH!”
Several soldiers instantly snapped.
Losing all reason, they fired wildly in every direction.
Not caring who they hit.
“RATATATATATA!!”
“AAAAAAHHH!!”
“SPLASH!”
“THUD!”
Gunfire.
Screams.
Blood.
Bodies falling.
Everything mixed together—
Transforming the battlefield into a true hell on earth.
And through the chaos—
Only a single figure continued moving.
Like a graceful spirit.
Elegant.
Beautiful.
And terrifyingly bloody.
