69: Chapter 69 Your collection is quite good; it's mine now.

Thousands of heavily armed alien mercenaries, wielding heavy energy guns, tightly surrounded Lynn and his group.

Taneleer Tivan, also known as the famous "The Collector" in the Universe, saw his originally gloomy expression change several times upon hearing Lynn directly demand the Reality Stone.

He had lived for a long time and was a pure businessman, well aware that clashing head-on with a monster that had just slaughtered over a thousand pirates was not a wise move.

"The Reality Stone? That is just a dangerous legend."

Tivan forced out a hypocritical merchant's smile and spread his arms, attempting to solve the problem in the way he was best at.

"Friend, you possess powerful force, and I possess endless wealth. Instead of risking your life for an ethereal stone, why don't we make a deal?"

Tivan pointed to the huge metal door behind him, behind which lay his grand museum, claimed to house half the species of the Universe.

"In my collection room, there are rare beasts from countless galaxies, technologies from lost civilizations, and even the last survivors of extinct races. If you are willing to take your subordinates and leave, I can gift you an entire galaxy of slaves, plus ten crates of pure star coins."

Tivan boasted to himself that these conditions would be enough to move any interstellar Raiders.

However, Lynn didn't even look at that so-called wealth.

"Bribe me?"

Lynn sneered.

"Did you get something wrong? I didn't come here to make a deal with you."

Before the words even fell.

Lynn didn't even leave an afterimage. With the buff of the passive [Physical Spatial Crossing], he directly ignored the physical distance of over ten meters and instantly appeared in front of Tivan.

"Fire! Kill him!" Tivan screamed hysterically in shock.

The thousands of mercenaries around them pulled their triggers simultaneously, and the dense energy beams wove into a net of death.

But Lynn didn't need to turn back at all.

"Roar!"

The four-meter-tall "Godslayer" was like a black chariot, instantly crashing into the crowd of mercenaries. Each claw swipe tore over a dozen aliens into pieces.

At the same time, Wanda, with empty eyes, raised her hands. The dark red Chaos Magic, like the scythe of the God of Death, swept across the crowd. Hundreds of mercenaries didn't even have time to scream before their bodies were twisted into pretzels by the distorted laws of reality.

Carnage erupted in an instant.

And in front of Lynn.

Watching Lynn, who was close at hand, Tivan instinctively retreated until his back hit his proudest display case. It was bulletproof glass made from the hardest transparent armor of the Kree Empire, which even a battleship's main cannon couldn't shatter.

"You can't kill me! I am an Elder of the Universe..."

Tivan hadn't finished his sentence.

"Bang!"

Lynn raised his right leg and kicked Tivan in the chest.

The terrifying blow, mixed with the monstrous strength of the Hulk, not only shattered Tivan's ribs but also carried his entire body, slamming him heavily against the bulletproof display case behind him.

"Crack—Boom!"

The bulletproof glass, claimed to be the strongest in the entire Universe, was like a fragile biscuit before Lynn's kick, instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks, and then shattered with a boom!

"Pfft!" Tivan spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed into the broken glass like a pile of mud.

Lynn stepped forward, his black leather boot heavily stepping on Tivan's face, pressing the arrogant head of this Elder of the Universe firmly onto the floor.

He raised his head and looked around at the spacious, palace-like collection room.

Inside countless transparent display cases were imprisoned various strange alien creatures, rare giant beast cubs, and even Mutants with special abilities.

In others' eyes, this was a priceless museum. But in Lynn's eyes, this was simply a gene buffet with an extremely rich selection of dishes.

"Your collection is indeed not bad."

Stepping on Tivan's face, Lynn grinned with a greedy, ferocious smile.

"Now, they all belong to me."

"Hum—!!!"

The crimson blood watch on Lynn's left wrist seemed to sense the massive and rare top-tier genes around it, instantly bursting with unprecedented, blinding red light!

This red light was no longer just simple threads but transformed into a dark red tide of energy, sweeping crazily in all directions with Lynn as the center!

"Pop! Pop! Pop!"

Inside the collection room, hundreds of display cases shattered one after another under the impact of this energy tide.

Dark red biological tentacles, like hungry snakes, precisely pierced into the bodies of every alien rare beast, Mutant, and space prisoner.

Semi-mechanical cyborgs, alien giant dogs burning with fire, strange birds capable of changing gravity... even Cosmo the Spacedog and Howard the Duck hiding in the corner were not spared.

The moment all living beings were pierced by the tentacles, their bodies rapidly shriveled and turned into fly ash.

The rare genes within them, evolved over millions of years, flowed like a hundred rivers into the sea, crazily surging into the Bloodtrix on Lynn's left wrist along the energy tentacles.

Not just these items in the collection.

The Elder of the Universe, Tivan, whom Lynn was stepping on, was the main course of this genetic feast.

"No... don't..."

Feeling the extremely ancient Elder genes within him, which granted him a nearly immortal lifespan, being crazily extracted, Tivan let out a desperate scream.

He had lived for millions of years, collecting everything in the Universe, only to end up as nourishment for a watch on someone else's wrist.

In just ten seconds.

The large collection room became deathly silent. Thousands of rare beasts, along with Tivan himself, had all turned into dried corpses and remains on the floor.

[Ding! Massive amounts of rare Universe genes detected! Ancient gene fragments of an Elder of the Universe detected!]

[Gene bank is expanding crazily...]

[Bloodtrix repair progress has jumped: 36%... 38%... 40%!!!]

Accompanied by a crisp electronic prompt, Lynn felt the violent power within him once again undergo a trans-dimensional qualitative change.

"40%."

Lynn stretched his body in satisfaction and applied a little force under his foot.

With a "squelch" sound.

Tivan's shriveled head was like a rotten watermelon, crushed to pieces by Lynn's kick, completely ending his life.

After clearing away this trash, Lynn strode across the debris-filled floor, heading straight for an absolute security door made of Vibranium at the deepest part of the collection room.

"Boom!"

Lynn didn't even bother to crack the code; he smashed his right fist, covered in dark gold spatial laws, directly into the half-meter-thick Vibranium door, punching a big hole in it.

He reached inside and grabbed a special metal container wrapped in layers of force fields.

Inside the container.

A mass of dark red, eerie liquid that seemed to possess life was breathing, constantly surging and changing shape in the vacuum.

Even through the container, Lynn could feel the terrifying power contained within this liquid, enough to overturn physical laws and modify the structure of reality.

Reality Stone—Aether Particle.

"Finally got my hands on it."

Lynn looked at the churning dark red liquid in the container, his black pupils reflecting an eerie red light.

Space, Mind, Reality.

The third Infinity Stone.
