Leon studied the woman before him, who seemed more like a beast than a human. He could see the truth in her heart—she had been isolated from the world for too long, and her altered genes meant she was no longer fully human, destined to live as a beast.
A beast, when freed from its restraints, eventually goes mad.
She needed something to keep her tethered, and Leon was the one holding that tether. He nodded. "Alright, from now on, you'll follow me."
With that, Leon now had ...

Wanda stepped into the slightly grimy holding room.
Metal barriers lay scattered across the floor, and through the bars, she saw a group of frightened, timid children huddled together.
Some were dressed in pajamas, others in ragged clothing.
Their fearful expressions and wide eyes reminded Wanda, Pietro, and Sergei of their own past. Just three years ago, they had been in a similar state—trapped in despair, numbness, and anxiety, never knowing if death would come at any mo...

In the main control room of the base, William Stryker was furious.
"You don't even know who's attacking the base? Where are our guards?"
"Sir, the attackers might be mutants. Their speed and strength are beyond anything human. Our people are being slaughtered," a subordinate, seated at the monitor, stammered, his voice trembling with fear. He pointed shakily at the screen, which showed the carnage unfolding outside.
Even though he was a battle-hardened soldier, he had never ...

The two pickup trucks moved slowly along the snow-covered highway. The heavy snowfall made the journey slow and difficult. Leon, who was driving the lead truck, frowned.
"Isn't this inconvenient with just a car?" he muttered.
"Definitely inconvenient," Natasha quipped from the back seat. "A private jet would be better for country-hopping, but I doubt that's in your budget."
Leon chuckled, thinking about his wallet. Private jets were definitely out of his league for now. But ...

Though they were preparing for departure, there was still a lot of work to do.
First, the fragmented images Wanda saw weren't detailed enough to pinpoint the exact location. Fortunately, one image showed the external structure—a lake and a dam. Using her chaos magic, Wanda transmitted the image to Natasha, who sketched it by hand and uploaded it to a database for comparison.
After a long search, they finally found the location: Alclair Lake Industrial Area in Canada.

Hydra, a terrifying organization from World War II, was thought to have vanished into history. Yet, to Natasha's surprise, it remained hidden in the world.
However, after practicing the breathing technique, Armament Haki, and Observation Haki—and witnessing the destruction Leon casually caused during his training—her concern about Hydra began to fade.
Natasha believed that if Leon truly dedicated his time and energy, wiping out organizations like Hydra wouldn't be much of a ch...

In the wooden house, everyone was busy preparing dinner, but Leon was nowhere to be found.
Natasha, kneading dough alongside Wanda, couldn't help but ask, "Where's Leon?"
Wanda, playfully shaping the dough in her hands, smiled and replied, "When Leon trains, he usually comes back later than us. He often goes deep into the Ural Mountains. It's a quiet place, surrounded by nature."
"Like meditation?" Natasha mused, intrigued.
"Maybe," Wanda shrugged. "When he trains, he ...

By the waterfall, rain was still falling lightly from the sky. The ground was slightly muddy, but neither Natasha nor Wanda seemed to care. In fact, Natasha was excited—she was about to learn a breathing technique from Wanda.
"As the name suggests, the breathing method uses a specific rhythm of breathing to absorb large amounts of oxygen, infusing it into your cells, and strengthening the heart, lungs, and overall physical fitness," Wanda explained. She was dressed casually in a gray ...

At night, on the side of the Ural Highway, a man in a blue jacket and peaked cap stood silently. In front of him were two wrecked Humvees. The scene was shocking, even for someone like him, who had seen a lot. One of the vehicles had been sliced clean in half by something sharp, and the occupants inside had their necks slashed, their veins opened. It was a relatively quick death, compared to the other car.
The second vehicle was crushed beyond recognition by some immense force. The resu...

At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
Natasha's muscles instinctively tensed, but she quickly noticed how relaxed the three of them were. Realizing there was no threat, she let herself relax as well.
"Hey, Boss Leon, Wanda, Sergei, you're back!" someone called out.
"Brother Leon, Sister Wanda, Brother Sergei!" echoed another voice.
Figures began to appear at the doorway, revealing Pietro and the others who had been training by the w...

As usual, the car stopped in the same spot.
To Natasha's amazement, she watched as Leon, Wanda, and Sergei each casually lifted a metal box with one hand.
"There might be some bumps ahead, so it's best to be prepared," Wanda said kindly.
Before Natasha could question what she meant, she saw a flash of red light in Wanda's eyes. The powerful red energy wrapped around her, and before she could react, a tremendous force pushed her forward.

The pickup truck rolled down the road, and Wanda glanced at Natasha through the rearview mirror, noticing her pale face. She opened the glove compartment, pulling out some bread and milk.
"Eat something. I can tell you're hungry," Wanda said, turning to offer the food.
Natasha looked at the bread and milk, then at Wanda's kind, yet sharp face. She pursed her dry lips, whispered a quiet "thank you," and accepted the offer. She carefully unwrapped the bread, eating small bites, sipp...

The shopping went smoothly, and leaving the city was just as easy. After spending the night at a hotel, the three of them checked out early the next morning. They loaded their purchased supplies into a pickup truck and slowly drove out of the city.
Due to recent bombings and shootings, road inspections were stricter, with patrol cars already out in the early hours. However, Leon, Wanda, and Sergei, being young and with no issues regarding their identities, were allowed to leave without ...

Leon had just finished pointing out everyone's weaknesses in combat and training. Noticing that it was almost noon, he decided to have a barbecue by the river. The group was excited by the idea and eagerly returned to the wooden house to gather the barbecue tools.
Since they were all big eaters, they had bought plenty of food. There was no worry about running out. The ingredients were plentiful, including a whole lamb, beef cattle, suckling pig, and whole chicken. Over the past two year...

"Wow!" came excited exclamations from across the river.
A group of kids stood on the opposite bank, watching with glee as Sergei got a beating. Their excitement was understandable—they'd all been in his shoes before. After all, seeing someone else in pain often brings a strange sense of satisfaction.
Pietro, in particular, was enjoying the scene. Lately, he'd been acting a bit too cocky. His super-speed made him the fastest, second only to Leon, and his strength had grown as a r...

"We no longer dwell on the past; the future is ours, and together we'll reach heights that will capture the world's attention," Leon said, almost out of habit.
These children are still sensitive, and as a parental figure, he feels responsible for guiding them out of the shadows of their past. He doesn't want any of them to carry lingering darkness in their hearts, which could lead to depression later on.
So far, his efforts have been successful. In two years, the children have reg...

During the meal, everyone chatted occasionally. They had no strict rules about eating, talking, or sleeping. After finishing, a few people took turns clearing the table and washing the dishes, while others moved to the living room sofa with their desserts, waiting for the rest to join.
Once everyone was there, Leon took out the remote control, paused the TV, and began discussing business. He first looked at Wanda, who nodded in response.

Ten minutes later, on a highway under the dark night sky, an SUV was cruising along. In the driver's seat, Pietro, dressed in a T-shirt that highlighted his strong muscles, rested one hand on the steering wheel while the other supported his cheek against the window. He was humming an unknown tune, the light rain outside adding to his sense of comfort.
Suddenly, two bursts of sound came from behind. Pietro frowned and glanced in the rearview mirror, spotting two figures wrapped in a kind...

The apartment door opened, and Sergei, along with Wanda in her sweatshirt, stepped out into the rain, umbrellas in hand. They got into the car parked on the street. The engine hummed to life, and the car began to slowly move away into the night.
As the car neared the end of the road, several other vehicles quietly followed. Inside one of the SUVs, a man in a combat uniform sitting in the passenger seat pulled a pistol from under his arm, checking it carefully. In the back, three others ...

Unfortunately, before the commander could press the button, a strong hand clamped tightly around his wrist.
Feeling a sharp sting, he quickly opened his eyes to a startling sight: Leon, who had been surrounded by soldiers just moments ago, was now standing directly in front of him. The high spotlight behind Leon cast a shadow over his face, making it appear slightly blurred, but his golden eyes shone through with an intense, almost divine, gaze that made the commander feel insignificant...

Two years flew by in the blink of an eye.
In a secluded base nestled in the mountains of Eastern Siberia, the night was quiet under a light rain. The darkness was punctuated only by the high spotlights on the guard towers, which swept the area back and forth. Armed guards, looking stern and vigilant, were on high alert, as if expecting trouble.
Despite the calm appearance of the night, disaster was already on the horizon. Suddenly, a loud explosion shattered the silence.

"We need to strengthen ourselves," Leon said.
Wanda, being the most perceptive, seemed to grasp the essence of Leon's words. Her large, expressive eyes sparkled with excitement.
One of the boys with brown hair scratched his head and asked, "How can we become stronger?"
The others nodded in agreement, looking to Leon for answers. Unlike Leon, they didn't have the ability to penetrate a base on their own.
Seeing their confused expressions, Leon smiled softly.

In the dark night, amid heavy wind and snow, only one RV was speeding along the road. Thanks to its snow-gripping tires, the RV moved steadily through the snow.
Leon finally reached the area near the mountain range. He drove off the road and stopped under the snow-covered ground, not far from the road.
With no mountain roads and the darkness making navigation difficult, Leon and the children decided to spend the night in the RV.
The RV was well-equipped with facilities and s...

Each punch and kick delivered by the boy carried tremendous force. Bullets pierced his body but had no effect at all. The more Baron Strucker watched, the more his happiness and fanaticism grew.

His voice rose with excitement as he grabbed his subordinate by the collar. "Find him! Hunt him down at all costs. I want his experimental data. I want to see ...

Wanda, her brother, and the other children sat obediently in a row in front of the fireplace, where flames roared and crackled. Leon stood before them, dressed in a fur coat several sizes too big, making him look a bit funny. But no one minded; it kept him warm.
Leon regarded the group of children with a serious expression, an idea forming in his mind, though he knew he needed to speak first. He scanned their confused and uneasy faces, and then, in a voice that was young but clear, he b...

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of boiling water in the iron pot. Leon snapped back to reality, deciding to set aside his planning for now and focus on finishing the meal. After all, it had been half a year since he last tasted meat, and he couldn't help but feel a bit greedy.
He carefully poured half of the boiling water into another pot to cool, then turned his attention to cooking...

For a month, no one realized that this little boy had changed—his soul no longer belonged to this world. Leon was both unfortunate and lucky. He didn't know why he had suddenly traveled through time in his sleep and taken over th...
