116: Chapter 116 Following the Internet Cable to Eat

Lynn's right hand grasped that invisible thread of causality out of thin air.

At that moment, time and space within the hall seemed to freeze.

The crazed smile on Solus's face instantly stiffened; he felt his action of pulling the [web of life] slam into an insurmountable high wall.

No, it wasn't a high wall.

It was a bottomless black hole.

"Beep—!"

The crimson blood watch on Lynn's left wrist erupted with a sharp buzzing sound. The red hourglass in the center of the dial spun frantically, and a synthesized mechanical voice rang out in Lynn's mind:

[Detected Multiverse concept-level network: web of life and destiny]

[Current Status: Being attacked/Being erased]

[Gluttony Module activated, beginning reverse data hijacking!]

Boom!

A surge of energy, as crimson as blood, followed the "thread" in Lynn's hand and flowed upstream!

This energy was mixed with the absolute assimilation laws of the Cancerverse, injecting into the crystal-clear web of life like a lethal computer virus.

Sizzle sizzle—

Solus's hands, which were poised in mid-air, suddenly erupted in a cloud of charred smoke!

"Ah!"

The Patriarch of the Inheritors, who had lived for countless eons, let out a scream and jerked his hands away as if electrocuted. He looked down in horror to find his palms rapidly rotting and carbonizing; that poison belonging to death and assimilation was forcibly drilling into his body through his connection with the web of life.

"You... what did you do to the web of life?!"

Solus snapped his head up, his eyes bloodshot with extreme terror.

Under the shocked gazes of all the Spider-Men, the boundless illusory giant web above the hall's dome was being dyed a startling crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Lynn was polluting the causality of the entire Multiverse!

"It's nothing," Lynn said, lowering his right hand and shaking his wrist. "Seeing as this broken network of yours has been running for hundreds of millions of years without an update, I'm just helping you install some antivirus software."

"Arrogance! Daimons, Brix, kill him! At any cost!" Solus had completely panicked, roaring hysterically.

However, there was no response.

Solus turned his head stiffly.

What he saw was Captain Marvel Carol casually crushing Brix's skull as if discarding trash.

On the other side, Hela's night sky sword was unstained by blood, while Daimons and the remaining three members of the Inheritors had already been neatly sliced into dozens of pieces of minced meat. The laws of death sealed all their healing abilities, and the meat quickly turned to black ash on the floor.

Ten seconds.

The Inheritors, except for the Patriarch Solus, were wiped out.

"Now, no one will disturb us."

Lynn walked slowly toward Solus. With every step he took, the crimson giant web above the dome expanded another circle, frantically devouring the source power of the web of destiny.

Solus finally felt the same despair Morlun had felt just moments ago.

He discovered that the pure power he took pride in was as laughable as a baby's before this young man. And his greatest trump card, the [web of life], had actually become a straw for the opponent to suck out his essence!

Thud.

Solus's knees buckled, and he knelt heavily on the ground. His originally burly frame rapidly shriveled and withered as his essence was drained in reverse.

"Spare... spare me..." This top-tier predator of the Multiverse squeezed out a plea for mercy through his wheezing throat.

Lynn stopped in front of Solus, his gaze indifferent.

"I said earlier, I told you to bring your things and come here to die."

Lynn raised his foot and stepped on Solus's head: "Since I've already gotten the things, you can die now."

Bang!

Like stepping on a ripe watermelon.

Solus's head instantly burst. A generation's Multiverse overlord, the ultimate nightmare of the spider-totem, was thus utterly destroyed in both body and soul.

[Devoured high-dimensional lifeform essence, life limit increased]

Lynn ignored the system notification and looked up at the dome.

The Bloodtrix's devouring was still continuing; the crimson virus followed the network lines and was about to invade the dimensional core where the [The Weaver] resided.

If he ate the entire web, Lynn could immediately grasp the absolute direction of the entire Marvel Multiverse.

But just then.

Clang—!

A sound like a blade unsheathing that could sever time and space rang out from the depths of the Multiverse.

At the other end of the line, an unobservable powerful existence (the The Weaver), in order to prevent the entire Multiverse from being completely devoured by Lynn's laws of assimilation, actually severed his own arm!

He forcibly cut off the section of the web of life where Lynn was located!

Snap!

The crimson light-web filling the sky instantly shattered, turning into countless red spots of light that merged into Lynn's left wrist like a rain of blood.

The Bloodtrix's mechanical voice rang out again:

[Devouring interrupted. Target actively severed the connection.]

[Partially parsed concept-level laws, obtained new ability module: Myriad Heavens Hunter Radar (can lock onto high-energy prey coordinates within multiple dimensions)]

[Obtained new ability: Dimensional Leap (can ignore cosmic barriers to open fixed-point portals)]

Lynn raised an eyebrow.

He certainly ran fast.

Lynn turned around and looked at the remaining Spider-Men in the hall.

Tens of thousands of Spider-Men took a step back in unison. If facing the Inheritors brought them fear, then facing Lynn, they felt a despair like facing the abyss.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not interested in spiders."
