Chapter 116 Overwhelming Power, One Man, One Nation

When Lynn uttered the sarcastic yet arrogant declaration, "I'm all set for the final battle," it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Whether it's the army soldiers closing in step by step, or the S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers at the innermost edge of the encirclement.

At the same instant, everyone felt as if a gaping maw, stained with blood, was hanging above their heads, ready to crash down and devour them whole, bones and all.

In an instant.

Everyone present felt their hair stand on end, their faces filled with fear, and the hands gripping their weapons trembled uncontrollably.

"Retreat! Retreat now!!"

"It's that same old situation again!"

"Lynn has entered that berserk state again!"

"He showed this same level of skill back when he fought Dario and Killian at the mouth of the Hudson River!"

"Everyone, immediately create distance! Retreat!"

Fury immediately shouted at the top of his lungs into the communicator, his eyes filled with deep shock and fear.

As the person present who knew Lynn's true nature best, he knew better than anyone the terrifying destructive power Lynn would unleash in this state.

What chilled him to the bone even more was that Lynn's aura was even more violent and unfathomable than during the battle at the mouth of the Hudson River!

As he retreated with the team, he frantically adjusted the deployment via the communicator, ordering all the snipers on the perimeter to immediately lock onto Lynn's movement trajectory, and for the armored units to advance in batches and in stages, so as not to give Lynn any chance to break through at close range.

His eyes were fixed on Lynn's figure, his palms already soaked with cold sweat. He knew better than anyone that if Lynn broke through the defenses today, it would cause countless deaths.

God knows how many tricks this madman has up his sleeve, and what kind of devastating "surprise" he will bring!

Aside from Fury, the rest of the Avengers had already thoroughly investigated Lynn's background using top-secret information from S.H.I.E.L.D., including his superhuman physical abilities, invisibility, wind wall, teleportation, and the "hollowfication" that he had just revealed!

There are also countless unknown weapons and passive skills, each and every one of which exudes mystery and power!

In the instant they came to their senses, everyone immediately chose to retreat rapidly to create a safe distance, while simultaneously using their guns, cannons, and energy weapons to launch long-range firepower attacks in Lynn's direction.

They all shared the same thought: stall!

This devastating berserk state cannot last indefinitely. Only when the state ends will they have a chance to counterattack.

"Break the encirclement! All combat units, including army soldiers, retreat! Widen the encirclement, lengthen the battle line, and concentrate fire on Lynn in waves!"

"Never let him get close! Once he gets close, no one can save you! Retreat immediately!"

Tony moved at high speed in mid-air, constantly changing his firing angle. Energy bullets from his palm cannons were continuously blasting at Lynn, who was dodging and weaving on the ground. At the same time, he issued commands to the entire arena through the megaphone of his armor, while having Jarvis conduct in-depth analysis.

The Lynn of today is so unfamiliar.

Only now did he truly understand why Dario and Killian felt such deep-seated fear when facing Lynn during the battle at the mouth of the Hudson River.

Those two veteran tycoons, who had been entrenched in New York for years and whose hands were stained with blood, had long since tempered their ruthlessness to the extreme, yet they still couldn't help but reveal their fear when facing Lynn.

The overwhelming sense of oppression, the madness that disregards human life, and the absolute control that commands respect without anger can truly plunge a person into collapse and despair in an instant.

[Sir, through wound scanning of the target's body surface, the energy fluctuations generated within the body exceed the analytical scope of the existing database. The energy field exhibits a state of interwoven scarlet and deep yellow.]

[The target's cerebral cortex activity continues to rise with energy fluctuations, currently in a state of extreme excitement and combat readiness.]

Meanwhile, his external wounds are healing at an extraordinary rate. If he cannot sustain further serious injury, it is expected that he will fully recover to his peak condition in a short period of time.

"Damn it!"

Tony cursed through his mask, his chest churning with unbelievable rage.

Did he inject himself with dozens of injections of potent adrenaline?!

He simply couldn't understand it. It was clearly a life-or-death situation, surrounded by thousands of troops and countless heavy weapons, and he could be beheaded at any moment. Didn't Lynn feel even the slightest bit of fear or apprehension?

Not only did he not get excited, he became more and more excited. He's a complete madman!

In the center of the battlefield, Lynn listened to the shouts of retreat rising and falling around him, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Come on, come on!"

"You're not coming over, are you?"

"Then I'll force you to come here!"

He muttered to himself under his breath, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.

Although Ragnarok's power has doubled at this moment, and the stacked Blood Rage is causing a continuous surge in attack power, the group of ghouls before them—

The enemies, each as slippery as an eel covered in slime, maintained a safe distance from him thanks to their long-range firepower and Jarvis's mechs providing cover.

He can take care of one or two people instantly, but it's difficult for him to wipe out everyone in a short time. Instead, he would waste the duration of Ragnarok.

Moreover, the invisibility of the Bone Tooth Necklace and the arcane leap of the Horlock's Armguards both have limited uses and cannot be wasted easily.

Since you want to create distance and buy time, I'll tear your encirclement apart first, and wipe out these rabble pointing their guns at me. Let's see if you can still sit still then.

With this in mind, Lynn suddenly exerted force with both legs, and the asphalt road beneath his feet instantly cracked into a spiderweb-like pattern. His gaze suddenly locked onto an Apache attack helicopter hovering in mid-air, adjusting its firing angle.

Just as the Apache was drawing a semicircle in the air, its nose directly facing him, Lynn stomped his foot again, leaping dozens of meters like an armor-piercing bullet, his body whistling through the air as he instantly grabbed the Apache's landing gear.

Before the pilots in the cockpit could even react to what was happening, a scarlet axe-like shadow cleaved down, instantly shattering the bulletproof glass of the cockpit along with the control panel.

Da da da!

next second.

The 30mm M230 chain gun under the nose of the aircraft spun wildly, and the sparking barrel began to fire indiscriminately!

A barrage of machine gun shells rained down like a torrential downpour, instantly tearing apart the soldiers' encirclement. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, screams filled the air, and the once impenetrable encirclement was as if it had been rubbed clean by an eraser, leaving a large, deadly zone.

However, this drama is far from over.

The Apache helicopter, hailed as the "master of low-altitude flight," is like a toy in the hands of a child when faced with Lynn's superhuman strength.

He gripped the helicopter's landing gear with one hand, casually twisting the fuselage as he maneuvered the machine gun across one soldier assembly point after another, muttering jokingly, "Hey, hey, hey, a little to the left—yes!"

"It's that group of people, let's clean up the right side too."

Just a second before two fighter jets locked onto the target in the distance and two air-to-ground missiles roared in, Lynn released his grip, using the momentum to leap through the air and land steadily on Pennsylvania Avenue outside the White House.

This is the assembly point of the army's armored forces. Main battle tanks and armored vehicles are lined up along the street, their dark cannon muzzles pointing directly in his direction.

At the same time, continuous explosions came from the artillery positions on the west side of the street.

Frank, wielding a shotgun, bombarded the enemy at close range under the cover of rings of corpses. One artilleryman after another fell, completely paralyzing the heavy firepower position and perfectly locking down the outer heavy firepower output windows, clearing away Lynn's worries about the rear.

"Hello everyone, it's been a long time!"

"Take this!"

Lynn grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, and before the surrounding soldiers could react, he leaped high into the air again.

He wielded the Berserker's Axe in one hand, drawing a perfect, deathly semicircle in the air, carrying immense power as he slammed it heavily onto the ground.

A loud "Boom!"

The hard asphalt road surface collapsed instantly, and the debris and shock waves spread outwards like a tsunami.

The surrounding soldiers didn't even have time to scream before they were torn to pieces by the violent force.

In just a few minutes, he completely tore apart the three-layered encirclement. The streets were littered with corpses, and blood soaked the asphalt. The smell of blood and gunpowder in the air was enough to make anyone nauseous and vomit if they smelled it even once.

And he achieved his goal perfectly.

The encirclement completely collapsed, and the soldiers were plunged into extreme fear and collapse, no longer able to form an effective fire blockade. The Avengers also completely lost their safe space for long-range maneuvering.

These soldiers held their rifles, but dared not pull the trigger again; they took steps, but dared not take another half step forward; they even dared not look directly at the blood-soaked figure. They could only stand there blankly, their legs weak and their bodies trembling, yet they still held the trigger tightly, the muzzle of their guns always pointed in Lynn's direction!

They abandoned their charge, but never laid down the weapons they intended to kill him; they remained his enemies.

Lynn was surrounded by a dense mass of corpses, and the ground beneath his feet was soaked in blood, making a sticky, creaking sound as he stepped on it. Yet, he felt no emotion whatsoever. Anyone who had pointed a gun at him deserved to die, without exception.

Barton, leaning against the broken wall, had three armor-piercing explosive arrows nocked on his bowstring at the same time, but Lynn was moving too fast, and he could not find a stable shooting window.

Natasha used the cover to keep moving around, trying to get to Lynn's side and rear to form a crossfire, but she had only taken two steps when she was forced to retreat back into the cover by Lynn's cold gaze, her heart pounding wildly.

She could clearly sense that if she dared to show herself again, she would be the next to die.

"Damn it!"

The Avengers were now ashen-faced and extremely embarrassed.

Lynn completely ignored their long-range fire support, focusing solely on breaking through the encirclement. This made them hesitant to use weapons of mass destruction, fearing that a single misstep could cause even greater casualties.

In those few short minutes, the number of soldiers who died at his hands, including the White House security detail, exceeded one hundred. "Lynn! These soldiers were just following orders! They are ordinary people with families and loved ones! Do you have to be so ruthless?"

Rogers could no longer contain himself. He let out a deafening roar, raised his vibranium shield, and sprinted forward, using all his strength to crash into Lynn.

"Look at all the corpses on the ground! Don't you have even the slightest bit of respect for human life?!"

Lynn sneered as he watched Rogers charge straight at him. Without dodging or avoiding, he swung his axe at the vibranium shield.

"Bang!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out!

Lynn remained firmly in place, without even moving an inch.

Rogers, however, was violently thrown back by the force of the recoil, spitting out a mouthful of blood mid-air.

What made him even more furious was that the edge of his indestructible vibranium shield had been shaved off by Lynn's axe!

This—this is impossible!

Rogers crashed to the ground in horror, while Tony froze in mid-air, his face behind the mask filled with disbelief and shock.

Rogers didn't even care about the laceration on his arm; his eyes were fixed on the battle axe in Lynn's hand, then on the grotesque gap in his shield, his mind blank.

Before the arrival of alien visitors like Thor and Loki on Earth, the Avengers' horizons had not been fully opened by the universe, and Wakanda remained secluded. In their understanding, vibranium was the hardest and indestructible metal on Earth.

But now, Lynn split the vibranium in two with a single axe stroke?

This was like a bolt from the blue for them, completely overturning their understanding!

This mind-blowing scene was broadcast live across the United States and even the world.

The live stream chat froze for a few seconds before being flooded with exclamations of amazement. The hashtag #LynnSplitsVibraniumWithOneAxe# instantly topped the global trending list, and the entire United States was thrown into an unprecedented shock.

But that's not all.

On the other side, Hulk watched Rogers being sent flying and let out a furious roar.

He took a sudden step, causing the ground to collapse instantly. His massive body leaped dozens of meters, landing heavily on the street, and he charged towards Lynn's back.

He forcibly tore off the turrets of the main battle tanks parked on both sides of the street, picked them up in his hands and used them as steel gauntlets, and smashed them hard at the back of Lynn's head with earth-shattering force!

Just as the heavy turret was about to smash into Lynn, Lynn suddenly chuckled and turned his head without looking back.

Upon seeing this, Tony and Rogers, who were facing each other, instantly froze. They were about to speak up to warn him, but it was too late.

Lynn slightly staggered, the muscles in his arm gripping the battle axe bulged instantly, and he turned around abruptly, delivering a backhand diagonal slash!

"Clang!"

First came a deafening bang, followed by a series of loud crashes!

To everyone's horror, Hulk flew horizontally dozens of meters away like a cannonball, crashing into three main battle tanks along the way, before finally coming to a stop by slamming into two armored vehicles stacked on top of each other.

The two heavy armored vehicles were completely deformed by the impact, with a huge dent in their bodies.

On Hulk's chest, a gruesome axe wound appeared, stretching from his left shoulder to his right abdomen. The wound, several centimeters deep, had the flesh torn open, and blood instantly stained his green skin, dripping down his body.

Hulk, who had been slammed into the armored vehicle, let out an even more furious roar. Under extreme rage, the wound on his chest began to heal at a visible speed, but an invisible force was preventing it from healing, constantly pulling at his chest.

Immediately, he violently shoved the completely deformed armored vehicle aside, his burly body standing atop the ruins, his green eyes fixed on Lynn, his muscles bulging with rage, his strength surging wildly.

But the intimidation from that axe blow made him dare not charge forward again. He could only roar deafeningly in place, like a wild beast that had been thoroughly enraged, his aura becoming increasingly violent.

At this moment, the pupils of the Avengers dilated uncontrollably, and a chilling absurdity surged in their hearts.

This is impossible!

They knew better than anyone how terrifying Hulk's physique was. Back then, General Ross used all of the army's heavy firepower and racked his brains, but he still couldn't break through Hulk's defenses, not even leaving a decent wound. In the end, he could only create an Abomination to barely inflict some minor superficial injuries on Hulk.

But now————

Lynn cleaved Hulk's body in two with a single axe stroke.

Just as everyone was in utter shock, and Jarvis was still frantically calculating Lynn's current power level, a clear whistle suddenly rang out on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, but their bodies froze completely the moment they saw the scene, their faces turning ashen.

Lynn stood in the pool of blood, whistling and grinning at them.

"Everyone, being distracted is not a good habit."

The moment the words left his mouth, Lynn's figure suddenly vanished completely from everyone's sight.

"He's gone invisible! Full power scan!"

Tony reacted instantly and roared at Jarvis through his mask.

[Sir, full-area thermal imaging and life signal scanning initiated, no target detected —]

Jarvis's red alert sounded instantly, and a chill ran down everyone's spine.

Fury instantly raised his gun and aimed it at his surroundings, his single eye frantically scanning the commotion around him as he roared into the communicator.

"Everyone, stand back to back in a defensive formation!"

"Don't act alone!"

Barton turned around instantly, aiming his bow and arrow at the darkness behind him. Natasha immediately rolled to Barton's side, raising both guns at the same time, pressing her back tightly against Barton's back, forming a defensive posture that combined offense and defense. However, both of their backs were instantly covered in cold sweat.

A series of terrifying facts, beyond comprehension, assaulted everyone's minds. Everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit, their eyes glued to every shadow in their field of vision, terrified that the blood-soaked demon would emerge from the darkness at any moment.

Just as everyone was staring intently at the commotion in front of them, a deafening roar suddenly came from behind the broken wall, sending debris flying everywhere!

When everyone suddenly turned their heads to look, their minds went blank for a moment, and their blood seemed to freeze in that instant.

Lynn landed steadily on the ground, and in front of him stood Barton, who had just turned around and was about to draw his bow and shoot an arrow.

Just a few meters away from Patton, there was Natasha, wielding two guns and just entering a fighting stance!

Lynn looked at the two men whose faces had turned deathly pale, a polite yet playful smile on his face. He waved to them gently and spoke with a smile, his voice clearly reaching the ears of the two men and everyone behind them.

"It's been a long time, you two."
