30: Chapter 30 Twin Star Fusion! The Four-Armed Diamond Demon God!

Lynn's cold voice echoed in the dilapidated office.

Steve Rogers gripped the Vibranium shield on his left arm, his chest heaving violently. He looked at the mysterious device on Lynn's left wrist that was flashing with red and gold light, and alarm bells rang in his heart.

"This shield belongs to those who once died for freedom."

Steve resumed his fighting stance, his deep blue eyes filled with unyielding will. "I will never hand it over to a butcher like you."

"Freedom?"

A flash of extreme arrogance and contempt crossed Lynn's eyes.

"In the face of absolute power, freedom is nothing but a fig leaf for the weak."

Lynn raised his right hand and pressed it without hesitation onto the crimson blood watch on his left wrist, which was erupting with red and gold light.

"Click!"

A crisp mechanical locking sound.

The burst of light this time was more blinding and violent than ever before. Dark golden energy, like tangible chains, crazily intertwined with the crimson light, instantly swallowing Lynn whole.

[System Supreme Authority Confirmed: Dual-Fusion.]

[Loading First Alien Sequence: Four Arms (Blood-Mad Variant).]

[Loading Fourth Alien Sequence: Diamond War God (Abyss Variant).]

[Gene chain recombination... Physical laws rewritten... Fusion complete!]

The light exploded with a boom.

The violent Impact crushed the remaining furniture in the office into powder. Steve was forced to raise his shield to block the hurricane-like airwave.

The airwave dissipated.

A terrifying Demon God, indescribable in human language, stood in the center of the ruins.

He was over five meters tall, his body as massive as a small mountain. His torso was no longer dark red rock, but composed of an extremely pure abyss crystal emitting a dark, bloody glow!

Four crystal arms, as thick as load-bearing pillars, hung naturally at his sides. Sharp, peerless black bone spurs grew from every inch of the crystal joints.

The ultimate brute strength of the flesh and the absolutely hard magic-resistant crystal achieved the perfect combination at this moment.

[Dual-Fusion Form: Four-Armed Diamond Demon God!]

"My God..."

Steve looked up at the five-meter-tall crystal Demon God, his breathing almost stopping. Even when facing the firepower of HYDRA, he had never felt such desperate pressure.

"Hand over the shield."

Lynn's harsh, heavy-metal voice, like two pieces of crystal rubbing together, rang out.

He took a step forward.

"Boom!"

The thick reinforced concrete floor under his feet instantly cracked over a large area.

Steve gritted his teeth. He didn't retreat; instead, he launched a charge! He pushed the power of the Super Soldier serum to its limit, raising his shield with his left arm, and like a blue-and-white lightning bolt, slammed fiercely into Lynn's knee.

"Stubborn."

The massive crystal arm on the upper right side of Lynn's body suddenly raised.

There were no fancy fighting techniques, no use of crystal weapon transformations. He simply clenched his fist and slammed it down at the charging Steve!

"Hum—!"

The speed of this punch was too fast, the power too great, directly creating a visible white sonic boom cloud in the air!

Steve had nowhere to dodge; he could only pour all his strength into his legs, holding the Vibranium shield tightly above him, attempting to withstand this blow head-on.

"Clang—!!!"

A heaven-shaking metallic explosion, like a great bell tolling, resounded through the night sky of Manhattan!

The sound turned into a tangible sonic weapon, instantly shattering all the remaining bulletproof glass on the top floor of Fisk Tower.

The Vibranium shield performed its characteristics perfectly. It was indestructible and even greedily absorbed the Earth-shattering kinetic energy of Lynn's punch.

The shield did not break.

But!

There was a limit to the shield's kinetic energy absorption. When this violent, absolute power exceeded the shield's buffer threshold, the huge physical inertia carried the indestructible shield and smashed it into Steve's own chest at a terrifying speed!

"Crack!!!"

A hair-raising bone-cracking sound, even drowning out the thunder.

"Ah—!"

Steve let out a shrill scream. His thick arms, strengthened by the Super Soldier serum, instantly snapped into an extremely eerie V-shape under the terrifying reverse pressure of the shield!

Compound fracture.

The huge force did not diminish. Steve flew backward like a cannonball from a barrel, crashing through two load-bearing walls, and finally became firmly embedded in the ruins dozens of meters away.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his brain activated its self-protection mechanism under the extreme pain. This Captain America just rolled his eyes and passed out on the spot.

One-hit kill.

Facing the Dual-Fusion Four-Armed Diamond Demon God, even the fighting ceiling of Marvel, holding a Vibranium shield, couldn't withstand a plain, unremarkable punch.

"Clatter."

The Star-Spangled shield, having lost its Master, fell to Lynn's feet.

The dark red crystals on Lynn's body quickly retracted and disintegrated. He transformed back into his human form.

He walked forward, raised his right foot, and unceremoniously stepped on the Vibranium shield that symbolized the "American spirit," as if stepping on a piece of scrap metal.

Subsequently, Lynn walked over to the unconscious Steve.

The crimson blood watch on his left wrist lit up with a red light, and a thin bio-metallic thread extended, piercing into Steve's carotid artery.

Lynn did not kill him. He just extracted about one hundred milliliters of blood.

[Detected "Perfect Super Soldier Serum" genetic sequence.]

[Extraction successful. Stored in backup gene bank.]

Lynn withdrew the thread with satisfaction.

"Take him and get back to S.H.I.E.L.D."

Lynn did not look back; he simply issued an order to the shadows in the corner. The Venom Hound, which had been hiding in the dark, let out a low growl, stepped forward, picked up the unconscious Steve like a piece of rag, and jumped out of the broken window into the night, preparing to dump this "trash" at the entrance of the S.H.I.E.L.D. branch.

The office became completely quiet.

The rainstorm seemed to have stopped as well.

Lynn stepped on the Vibranium shield, his hands in the pockets of his black shirt, and slowly raised his head.

He looked past the dilapidated building, through the thin clouds, and toward the endless, deep Universe.

Having fused some of the sensory characteristics of Bullseye and Daredevil, he could vaguely feel it. On the other side of the extremely distant starry sky, something vast, cold, and containing endless energy was rapidly approaching Earth.

That was the coordinate guidance of the Space Stone.

That was the Asgard God of Mischief, Loki, holding the Mind Stone.

The Battle of New York was about to begin.

"I'm tired of playing the superhero house game."

Lynn looked at the starry sky, a violent, fanatical, and extremely ambitious sneer curling the corners of his mouth.

"Let those high and mighty gods descend."

He touched the crimson blood watch on his left wrist that was faintly hot.

"My gene bank is already hungry and impatient."
