48: Chapter 48 Nuclear Regurgitation, Bombarding the Mothership

Stark Tower top floor.

The air distorted violently due to the extreme heat.

The concrete floor of the rooftop had completely melted, turning into a pool of dark red lava.

Lynn stood in the center of the lava, his black shirt without a single trace of being scorched.

However, the dark gold light radiating from his chest was so bright that it was impossible to look at directly, as if a Sun about to go supernova was trapped within his body.

"Warning, the energy reaction within his body is soaring exponentially..."

In the floors below, Jarvis's mechanical voice showed obvious electrical interference.

Tony Stark clutched his chest, staring fixedly at the incomprehensible figure above.

He could not understand.

The three-megaton nuclear bomb's physical detonation sequence had definitely been completed.

Even a mountain range should have been blasted into flat land by now.

But the explosion did not occur on the surface.

All the light, heat, radiation, and Impact were forcibly locked inside that man's human shell.

"What is he doing?"

Tony swallowed a mouthful of saliva, an unprecedented tremor rising from the bottom of his heart.

On the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

Nick Fury and the five Security Council members on the holographic screen were like ducks with their necks choked, mouths half-open, unable to make a sound.

The ultimate weapon they had used to obliterate Lynn had become the other party's "appetizer."

On the rooftop.

Lynn slowly raised his head.

He could feel that the nuclear explosion energy, forcibly suppressed and refined by the Bloodtrix, had reached its limit of containment.

Even with the foundation of the Humungousaur and Hulk genes, his internal organs began to emit tearing pains.

"Almost there."

Lynn locked onto the Chitauri mothership hovering behind the cosmic wormhole tens of thousands of kilometers away.

The highest authority of that mothership had already been stripped by him through [Ghost Phantom], and the core top-tier genes had already been eaten clean by him.

For Lynn, that massive alien fleet had lost its utility and turned into a pile of space junk taking up space.

And now, he needed a trash can to dump the trash.

Lynn took a deep breath.

The dark gold light on his chest surged upwards instantly, gathering deep in his throat.

He opened his mouth.

"Burp—!"

An extremely dull, belch-like sound, resembling an ancient giant beast, emanated from Lynn's mouth.

But what erupted following it was not gas.

"Boom—!!!"

A dark gold high-energy plasma beam with a diameter of over a hundred meters, like a sword of destruction piercing through heaven and Earth, erupted from Lynn's mouth!

This beam contained all the fission energy of the three-megaton nuclear bomb and, having been extremely compressed and refined by the Bloodtrix, its destructive power was ten times more concentrated and violent than the original nuclear explosion!

"Hum!"

The beam shot into the sky.

The air along the way was instantly vaporized, forming visible white sonic boom clouds in circles.

Hundreds of Chitauri aircraft and alien soldiers blocking the front of the beam didn't even have time to react to escape before they instantly evaporated in the dark gold light, not even leaving a drop of blood behind.

The beam penetrated the cosmic wormhole without any obstruction and slammed into the cold, dead space at the speed of light!

On the other side of the wormhole.

On the massive Chitauri cross-shaped mothership, the adjutants who had lost their supreme Commander were in chaos.

"Officer! Detected extremely high-intensity energy reaction from the direction of Earth! That is..."

The adjutant's words were not yet finished.

Outside the porthole in front of their field of vision, it had already been completely swallowed by a blinding dark gold light.

"Rumble—!!!"

Intergalactic strike!

One shot, one soul.

This destructive death ray, containing extreme nuclear energy, struck the front armor of the Chitauri mothership with precision.

The energy shield, capable of withstanding meteor Impacts, shattered instantly like a soap bubble before this plasma beam refined by the Bloodtrix.

Immediately after, the hundred-meter-thick beam pierced through the massive hull of the mothership, which was over ten kilometers long!

It shot straight through from the bow to the stern!

The internal power engines, energy reserves, and ammunition depots were detonated simultaneously at this moment.

An extremely massive, dazzling fireball bloomed suddenly in the space outside Earth, its brightness even surpassing the Sun for a moment.

Not just the mothership.

The terrifying energy ripples produced by the beam's explosion, like a cosmic storm, instantly swept through the entire Chitauri space fleet within thousands of kilometers around the mothership.

Thousands of frigates, the interstellar behemoth Leviathans that hadn't had time to be deployed, and dense swarms of Chitauri soldiers.

In this man-made "miniature supernova explosion," they were completely erased.

No screams, no wreckage.

Only a completely cleared, dead, deep space.

...

Earth, New York, Manhattan.

As the fireball in space lit up, an extremely strange thing happened.

The Chitauri soldiers who were originally rampaging on the streets and engaging in fire with the Avengers suddenly acted like machines that had been unplugged.

"Click."

The blue light in their eyes instantly extinguished.

All Chitauri soldiers, aircraft, and even the few remaining Leviathan beasts in the sky lost their vital signs at the same time, falling from mid-air like puppets with cut strings, crashing into the ruins and remaining motionless.

The Chitauri have a Hive mind; once the mothership was destroyed, all individual soldiers connected to the network suffered instant brain death.

"They... are all dead?"

In the ruins, Black Widow Natasha held her gun, looking at the aliens fallen all over the ground around her, her eyes filled with disbelief.

On the street below, Captain America Steve, who had just regained consciousness, dragged his braced arms as he walked out of the bunker, looking at the corpses covering the ground, equally stunned.

It's over.

This alien catastrophe, which was enough to destroy human civilization, had actually come to an end in such an absurd way.

Stark Tower top floor.

Lynn closed his mouth, exhaling a puff of scorching white steam.

He glanced at the space fireball gradually dissipating in the sky, twisting his neck in satisfaction.

"Fed and watered, time to close the door."

Lynn turned around and walked toward the instrument controlling the wormhole.

He grasped the Tesseract, cutting off the transmission of space energy.

"Hum—"

The huge, deep blue wormhole in the sky shrank rapidly, finally turning into a point of light and disappearing completely into the dawn skyline.

The first ray of dawn broke through the smoke over New York, sprinkling onto the devastated streets.

The war is over.

Tony Stark dragged his broken armor and walked up the stairs to the rooftop.

He looked at the black-haired man standing in the morning light, holding the Mind Stone in his left hand and toying with the Tesseract in his right.

In Tony's view, Lynn at this moment was even more terrifying and hopeless than the sky full of alien fleets just now.

The Security Council members far away, looking at Lynn on the screen, unscathed and having destroyed the alien fleet with a backhand shot, all slumped powerlessly in their chairs.

The nuclear bomb couldn't kill him, and the aliens were treated as food by him.

The combat power ceiling of Earth was completely shattered at this moment.

Lynn stood at the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the dead-silent New York City below, overlooking the humans who had survived the catastrophe but were full of terror, and the Avengers who were silently gathering below.

"Look, this is your World."

Lynn toyed with the two Infinity Stones, a cold and violent smile curling the corners of his mouth.

The voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"The alien invasion is over."

"But the true rule has only just begun."
