35: Chapter 35 Fifth Form! Energy-Absorbing Magic Stone!

"Boom——!!!"

A violent, azure pillar of lightning, like a sword of divine punishment descending from the heavens, struck down upon Lynn's head without any blind spots!

Tens of millions of volts of ultra-high-voltage current instantly poured into the ground.

The marble tiles in the center of the square didn't even have a chance to shatter; they were instantly melted into a pool of boiling red magma by the extreme heat. A blinding white light engulfed everything within a hundred-meter radius, and the piercing hiss of the electric current left the nearby hiding civilians temporarily deaf.

The thunderclouds in the sky slowly dispersed.

Thor landed on the remains of a stone sculpture ten meters away and let out a heavy breath.

He looked at the magma pit ahead, where the air was distorted by the high heat, his eyes cold. He hadn't held back with that last strike. A madman who dared to boast about draining the blood of the Asgard royal family deserved to be reduced to the finest ash in the thunder.

"It's over."

Thor turned around, preparing to pick up the half-dead Loki from the ground and take him back to the God Realm.

"Is that it? I haven't had my fill yet."

A hoarse, synthetic voice, like two rough ores grinding violently against each other, suddenly came from the magma pit behind him.

Thor's body stiffened abruptly, and his azure pupils instantly constricted.

He turned his head in disbelief.

In the magma pit, the white water vapor and smoke were blown away by a breeze.

That arrogant black-haired human had disappeared. In his place was a non-human creature over two meters tall, composed entirely of strange, purple-black ore!

It had no facial features, only a single eye flickering with a faint, ghostly light on its face. On its sharp, crystalline purple-black ore body, which was as translucent as purple crystal, an extremely dense azure electric current was flowing like a living thing.

[Alien Gene Activation: Energy-Absorbing Magic Stone (Energy Variant)!]

Before this purple-black crystalline demon god, the earth-shattering thunder Thor had just struck down not only failed to cause any physical damage but, like water flowing into a sponge, was completely absorbed by the purple-black ore on its body!

"Not bad. Though the voltage is a bit unstable."

Lynn stood in the magma, his purple-black ore palm opening and closing casually. Visible electric arcs danced at his fingertips.

"What kind of monster are you?!"

Thor gripped Mjolnir tightly, a rare sense of dread welling up in his heart. He had never seen a creature capable of swallowing the power of thunder so perfectly; even the gargantuan beasts in the Nine Realms that fed on energy could not take this strike head-on without sustaining any damage.

"I am your power bank."

Lynn let out a mocking sneer. A glint of greed flashed in his single eye. "Give me more. This amount of electricity isn't enough for me to fight back."

"Arrogant!"

Thor was thoroughly enraged. As Thor, his dignity did not allow him to be mocked by an unknown monster in his own area of expertise.

"Since you like lightning so much, I'll stuff you until you burst!"

Thor roared, his legs exerting sudden force, and he shot toward Lynn like a cannonball fired from its chamber.

He no longer used ranged lightning strikes.

While in mid-air, Thor poured his divine power into Mjolnir without reservation. The silver hammerhead instantly erupted with lightning ten times more dazzling than before.

Melee lightning strike!

"Die!"

Thor gripped the hammer with both hands, using the terrifying kinetic energy of his descent to smash down hard at Lynn's purple-black single eye!

Facing this hammer strike capable of shattering mountains.

Lynn did not dodge or evade. He slowly raised his left arm, his purple-black ore arm acting like an indestructible shield, directly meeting Mjolnir.

"Clang——!!!"

The muffled sound of metal colliding with alien ore exploded.

The scene Thor had anticipated—his opponent's arm being shattered—did not occur. Lynn's arm didn't budge an inch, and not even a scratch was left on the purple-black ore.

Immediately after.

The tens of millions of volts of violent lightning contained within Mjolnir, the moment it touched the Energy-Absorbing Magic Stone, seemed to find a massive outlet.

"Zzzzzzz——!"

The terrifying electrical energy flowed along the hammer like a breached river, madly pouring into Lynn's purple-black ore body!

Lynn did not counterattack; he simply held Mjolnir with one hand, allowing Thor to output power wildly.

As the lightning continued to pour in, the purple-black ore on Lynn's body gradually began to change color. From deep purple, it turned into a bright, vibrant purple, and finally, his entire body even emitted a blinding blue-white glare!

The energy core within him was being rapidly filled by Thor's divine power.

"How can this be..."

Thor pressed down on the hammer with both hands, cold sweat seeping from his forehead. He could feel his divine power being forcibly drained by his opponent in a brutal manner, while his opponent's aura was becoming increasingly terrifying.

"Out of power already?"

Three seconds later, the light in Lynn's eye reached its peak. He looked at Thor, who was slightly panting from the overexertion of his divine power, his tone filled with extreme contempt.

"The heir to Asgard, the God of Thunder?"

Lynn's right hand shot out, grabbing hold of the silver armor on Thor's chest.

The powerful grip made it impossible for Thor to break free.

"I'm returning your electricity to you."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The purple-black ore on Lynn's chest and arms simultaneously sank inward, then suddenly expanded outward.

All the lightning power absorbed just moments ago was compressed and purified within the Energy-Absorbing Magic Stone, transforming into a high-frequency energy pulse many times more violent than before!

"Boom——!!!"

An incomparably thick, blinding blue-white beam of lightning erupted at point-blank range from Lynn's palm, slamming solidly into Thor's chest!

This was no longer ordinary lightning; it was a destructive plasma cannon compressed to its limit!

"Ah!!!"

Thor let out a piercing scream.

His Asgardian physique, as hard as a god's, was struck like a heavy hammer by this recoil energy. The silver scale armor on his chest instantly melted and shattered!

The powerful impact force sent Thor's body flying backward.

He was like an out-of-control meteor, carving a long, charred trajectory through the air.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Thor's body smashed through the museum wall behind the square, then through three office buildings across the street, finally embedding itself deep into the vault door of a bank two blocks away.

The buildings along the way collapsed one after another, kicking up clouds of dust.

One strike, smashing through half the city.

In the square.

Lynn stood in the charred ruins. The purple-black ore on his body gradually faded its intense light, returning to its deep color.

He shook off the residual electric arcs on his wrist, his single eye looking toward the direction in which Thor had flown.
