In the Marvel universe, you start with a colored Hextech item.

When Lynn completely abandoned his usual joking demeanor, he pointed the giant axe at Tony, who was "helping out."

The sudden turn of events sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Aren't they friends?

Everyone watching on screen knew that at the beginning of the battle, Lynn was still attending a dinner party at Stark Industries.

They've only just met, yet they've already become enemies?

I saw this scene.

Dario and Killian, on the other hand, were not in a hurry.

What could excite them more than seeing Lynn gain another formidable enemy?

Killian's eyes, however, gleamed with an eerie light.

Lynn directly brought up that long-buried scar.

Although the "Desperate Plan" was half successful, his physical disabilities were repaired, and he also gained a power that captivated him.

But the hatred he felt for Tony never diminished.

He will make Tony experience this power firsthand.

But before that...

He wouldn't mind letting Tony wear down Lynn's strength, as long as they both died at his hands in the end!

On the other side, in the distance, is the Hydra stronghold.

Sitwell, who had originally planned to leave, stopped in his tracks.

It was quite amusing to witness this comical scene.

As for the Hydra troops stationed at the mouth of the Hudson River, they had already retreated in an orderly manner when Lynn's "meteorite fell".

This includes the specially prepared "Cosmic Cube Energy Weapon".

The best outcome for tonight's siege... would be a draw, even though the battle isn't over yet...

Sitwell was no longer optimistic.

They would absolutely not allow Hydra to be exposed in the slightest.

Staying here now is simply to ensure there's another "good show" to come.

Tony froze on the spot.

Look at that axe that represents power.

He could clearly sense that Lynn was not joking; if he dared to take another step forward, the axe would really come down!

At this moment, Fury, who was still inside the Quinjet, stopped Rhodes, who wanted to get out and help.

"Stay here and don't move!"

"If you go down there, you'll only make things worse!"

"Don't forget how Lynn treated you!"

Only after persuading him did she speak to Tony through the headset.

He was truly fed up with these self-important guys; not one of them was easy to deal with, and they only caused trouble!

Everyone thought Lynn was a good person?

Speak in an unyielding tone.

"Leave the river mouth right now and come back!"

"You can't stop him, and don't force him to point a gun at you."

"Don't let things get worse!"

Killian was laughing hysterically in the audience.

"What's wrong?"

"Lynn, even your allies are turning against you?"

"You're just like me... Tony's a complete jerk, always so self-righteous. Why don't we team up?"

Everyone was watching the confrontation between the two.

They heard Killian deliberately stirring things up.

Half the crowd took to the streets to denounce Tony's heinous acts; the other half denounced Killian's sinister intentions.

But nobody said Lynn was wrong.

However, Lynn didn't even bother to lift his eyelids at Killian's performance and simply ignored him.

He kept his eyes fixed on Tony, showing no sign of backing down.

What he ever wanted was never someone to help him clean up his mess.

What he wanted was to personally crush anyone who dared to challenge him, no matter who they were, in front of all of New York.

It was also because of the experience of upgrading the 'Enhancement Rune'.

No one is allowed to interfere.

Inside Mark 6, Tony clenched his fists, listening to Rhodor's constant persuasion and Fury's indifferent warnings through his earpiece.

Finally, he slowly lowered his hand, muttering "shit" under his breath.

After giving Lynn and Killian on the other side a deep look, the thrusters activated instantly, and the plane turned and flew away from the center of the vortex.

Seeing that they had completely left, Lynn slowly turned around, looked at Dario and Killian, whose faces were grim, and grinned.

"Now... I think no one will disturb this banquet."

It was during this brief interval that Lynn had time to examine the system notification that had just popped up.

[Ding! Mission "Shining Spotlight" perfectly completed!]

[Current spotlight collection: 100%]

[Third Stage Quest Rewards: 1 Demacian Anti-Magic Stone Fragment; Galio's Divine Power - Basic Magic Resistance]

[Fragment of the Forbidden Magic Stone]

[Effect: Can provide immunity, suppress, and disintegrate magic, dark divine power, and dimensional energy attacks with a strength of 30% or less. It has an additional restraining effect on contract-based and divine powers!]

[Elementary Magic Resistance]

[Effect: Passively provides 30% magic damage reduction; actively activated grants complete immunity to mental/curse-based magic for a short period (30 minutes) (24-hour cooldown)!]

Lynn was slightly taken aback.

Isn't this just a Hextech version of 'Kryptonite'?

It is surprisingly effective against dark magic like Dario's, as if it were a countermeasure tailor-made to kill him.

He immediately thought of the king who had been following him these past few days...

Both the [Anti-Magic Stone] and the [Magic Immunity] give him more confidence when facing the Ancient One.

Continue to address our weaknesses and shortcomings.

Moreover, the two system prompts, "Fragments" and "Beginner," clearly indicate that there is significant room for long-term growth.

Perhaps the system will release related tasks later, wouldn't that mean... in the Marvel world... physical immortality, invulnerability to all magic?

Followed by.

Lynn opened his palm, and a thumb-sized, grayish-brown stone with ancient patterns appeared in his hand.

……

The instant the [Fragment of the Forbidden Magic Stone] appeared.

Dario, who was on the field, was not the first to react.

Instead, it was the Ancient One, who was far away in Kamar-Taj.

Although she couldn't calculate Lynn's fate, it didn't mean she would ignore it; she had been observing the entire battle from beginning to end.

Especially when a small stone appears in the palm of your hand.

For some reason, a faint sense of malice and irritation, an inexplicable aversion, arose in Gu Yi's heart.

It's like an instinctive repulsion.

Lynn: Taken from the Justice Video by Galio.

However, Galio's own "halo of justice" left the Ancient One unsure how to deal with the "mysterious Lynn".

He looked toward the mouth of the Hudson River and muttered to himself.

"Will you bring change or disaster to the world...?"

……

On the field.

Dario's expression changed drastically, his red eyes fixed on the stone that had suddenly appeared in Lynn's palm.

His sixth sense was screaming a warning; it felt like he was facing a 'predator' at the top of the food chain.

The fear etched into our genes arises spontaneously.

He could clearly feel the power within him, gained from the pact with the dark deity, trembling wildly.

It's like I've met my natural nemesis!

Dario couldn't help but take a half step back.

For the first time, he uncontrollably revealed a look of terror.

He finally understood why Lynn wasn't in a hurry; even knowing it was a carefully prepared trap, he still dared to come alone.

Even after Killian appeared, he dismissed Frank.

They never took his power seriously from the very beginning!

Lynn has a deadly trump card to deal with him!

The stone struck precisely at his Achilles' heel.

Killian, who was standing to the side, also put away the playful expression on his face.

Dario's reaction was observed by him.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Lynn to have such a trump card up her sleeve.

Could it be that they also have a trump card to deal with him?

Lynn was stunned, not expecting such a big chain reaction.

He then smiled slightly.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"You guys had a great time making the first move, but now..."

"Offense and defense have shifted!"

Lynn didn't give Dario time to think.

Clutching the grayish-brown [Anti-Magic Stone Fragment] tightly, he shot towards Dario like an arrow released from a bow.

Dario's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively wanted to retreat.

But he suppressed his fear; retreat meant death, so he had no choice but to fight to the death!

"roar"!

With a deafening roar, the dark divine power around him surged wildly, condensing into a nearly tangible black barrier in front of him.

Lynn didn't even glance at the barrier.

They crashed straight into it.

To be precise, it was the hand holding the [Anti-Magic Stone Fragment] that pressed directly onto it, and the moment of contact caused a sudden change.

The barrier, formed with dark magic, melted and disintegrated at a visible speed the moment it came into contact with the fragments.

Dario's eyes widened in disbelief.

"This...this is impossible!"

His voice was trembling.

That was the power he obtained in exchange for a deal with the dark gods; it was his source of pride and confidence.

Now it can be easily destroyed by a stone the size of a thumb?

How is that possible!

Lynn didn't give him time to be shocked.

He threw a punch.

There were no techniques involved; it was pure violence.

Dario instinctively raised his hand to block.

"Bang!"

A dull thud resounded.

The arm made a "crack" sound as it could no longer bear the strain.

The instant his fist touched his skin, he clearly felt the connection between himself and the dark deity being abruptly severed!

The divine power within his body instantly plummeted by 60%, and his once indestructible body suffered a comprehensive decline in strength, defense, and recovery.

Even maintaining the full transformation has become incredibly difficult!

They were completely suppressed!

At this moment, Dario finally succumbed to the fear of death.

He finally understood that the stone's restraint on him was far more deadly than he had imagined.

"You... what kind of monster are you?!"

"What exactly is that rock?!"

However, Lynn only had the idea of ​​"slaughtering cattle" in his mind.

He gripped the axe tightly in his backhand, and taking advantage of the moment of hesitation, he suddenly lunged forward, the axe blade whistling as it cleaved fiercely into the bull's horns.

Click!

The bull's horns, which were filled with dark divine power, were forcibly cleaved off, and black blood gushed out.

Dario let out a painful howl.

It swung its thick hooves, wanting to retaliate, at least to repel the axe and give it enough distance.

But without the blessing of the dark god's power, he was like a figure in slow motion in Lynn's eyes, easily dodging to the side and then swinging his axe.

It struck his knee, and the hard cow leg bone snapped instantly.

Dario's massive body collapsed to his knees uncontrollably, his face contorted in agony from the continuous injuries.

He struggled to get up, but the suppression of the 'stone' was everywhere, and the dark divine power within his body completely dissipated.

They can't even do the most basic wound healing.

At that moment, a voice devoid of emotion entered his ears.

"Do you remember what I said?"

"I don't eat beef."

The words were spoken.

Lynn stepped forward slowly, looking down at Dario, who was kneeling on the ground, with the axe blade pressed against his forehead.

"What's more, these are beef cattle that have been injected with hormones and watered down."

Dario, who was in a daze due to the excruciating pain, immediately felt a chill and was instantly jolted awake.

Looking up, I saw the axe blade, gleaming with an eerie light, already raised in mid-air, and I instinctively opened my mouth.

"Wait a minute! I have something else to say..."

However, he didn't finish his sentence.

Lynn suddenly exerted force on his wrist.

The axe blade fell, cleaving Dario's skull open.

To everyone's astonishment.

The massive minotaur collapsed to the ground, becoming a corpse.

[Target killed, minor health restored]

Lynn breathed a slight sigh of relief only after confirming that the corpse in front of him was not moving, and couldn't help but examine the 'stone' in his palm.

The "Forbidden Magic Stone" is truly an unreasonable and perverted thing!

If it weren't for the effect suppression, it definitely wouldn't have been resolved so easily.

Immediately, he turned to look at the other "survivor".

"Now, it's your turn."

Lynn weighed the axe in his hand and approached step by step.

"Weren't you just thinking of dismantling me for research?"

"Now, I'm giving you a chance."

Everything happened too fast; Killian was still wary of whether Lynn would reveal his next trump card.

In the blink of an eye, Dario became a victim of the axe.

Seeing this, Killian could no longer maintain his composure.

This is fucking...

With such cruel and bloody methods, who exactly is the villain?

He then stared into those indifferent eyes.

His body was instantly surrounded by scorching flames, and his surface temperature soared to thousands of degrees Celsius.

"Lynn! Don't get too cocky!"

Killian roared and thrust his palms forward, sending dozens of pillars of molten fire hurtling toward Lynn.

Wherever it passed, even the air was distorted by the heat.

"Tsk, child's play."

Don't you know what it means to control all flight trajectories?

Lynn switched to the Gale Blade and swung it forward.

A semi-transparent wall of wind instantly unfolded in front of him.

All the pillars of fire were blocked.

"That's all the flame you have?"

His figure instantly disappeared into the shadows, vanishing completely from everyone's sight, leaving only a voice behind.

Killian remained calm; this tactic was familiar to him.

Previously, he could still glean some insight by relying on Dario's dark divine power, but now he can only attack the platform indiscriminately.

Use the dumbest method to force Lynn out.

"Is hiding and concealing what Lynn did?"

"Get out here!"

But his flames swept across the entire platform, leaving only a patch of burning embers, without even a trace.

But Killian dared not let his guard down.

At that very moment when he was under immense mental tension.

Lynn's figure suddenly appeared behind him.

He uttered a sentence softly.

"On, your, left."

Killian shuddered and instinctively raised his hand to shoot a fireball to his left.

The axe... fell to his right.

With a hiss, half of Killian's body was cleaved in two, and molten flesh and blood splattered out.

However, the regenerative ability of the Extremis virus caused the shattered flesh to writhe wildly, and it was restored to its original state in no time.

Killian reacted immediately; this was his chance!

He turned around and pushed forward with both palms, and a burst of high temperature instantly erupted.

but……

He fell completely silent.

Lynn was unharmed; only the areas where his hands were pressed emitted a faint red light, but no damage was caused.

"Here I come."

The words fell.

Killian felt that what was before him was a real demon.

Countless afterimages of axe blades appeared in his vision.

One, two, three...

Each axe blow leaves a deep, bone-revealing wound on his body, and the regeneration rate becomes increasingly slow.

Each regeneration consumes a large amount of physical strength.

Lynn maintained his speed and peak performance throughout.

"No...impossible!"

Killian went completely mad. He couldn't understand why his perfect Extremis virus was being so thoroughly suppressed by Lynn.

"What makes you think you're stronger than me?!"

"Because... I'm simply better than you!"

A faint voice reached his ear.

But there was nothing in front of him.

Finally, in the instant that Killian's gaze glazed over, a chilling coldness spread from the top of his head to his ankles.
