88: Chapter 88 Crushing Your Neck in Still Years

The next instant, the World went quiet.

There was no sound, no wind.

The green light of the Time laws, which had been expanding outwards like a tsunami, suddenly froze in Lynn's vision, fixed dead in mid-air like a frozen glacier.

Dust dancing in the air hung suspended.

The leaves that had been swaying outside the hall were frozen in place.

Strange's face, twisted from overdrawing his magic, was completely frozen in a grimacing expression.

His hand gestures, only half an inch away from completing the final magic circuit, were halted.

But that half an inch was a distance he would never cross.

Because time had stopped.

In this dimension of absolute stillness, only Lynn, having transformed into the Time Wraith, was the only living being capable of moving freely.

"Time loop?"

Lynn's head, covered in streamlined armor, tilted slightly.

He looked at the green light suspended in mid-air and let out a cold, extremely hoarse, yet disdainful sneer.

"You think you control the years just by rewinding and playing a videotape over and over?"

"Sorcerer, your understanding of time is too cheap."

Lynn took a step.

"Step. Step. Step."

He walked through the frozen green light with extreme composure.

The laws of time, which were originally enough to reset a single Universe, hit the Time Wraith's armor like waves crashing against a reef, directly forced away by high-dimensional physical kinetic energy.

Lynn walked up to Strange.

He looked at the hands of the Sorcerer Supreme, frozen in mid-air.

Those ten fingers were intertwined in an extremely complex posture, constructing the magic circle for the time loop.

"Since you like casting spells so much."

Lynn extended his hands, which resembled mechanical claws, and precisely pinched Strange's right index finger.

"Then I will cut off your spellcasting circuit."

"Snap."

In the absolutely still World, the sound of breaking bones did not travel.

But Lynn clearly felt Strange's index finger being snapped backward ninety degrees by force.

Then the middle finger.

"Snap."

The ring finger.

"Snap."

Lynn was like someone doing an extremely precise dismantling job.

He leisurely, one by one, snapped the finger bones of all ten of Strange's fingers in the opposite direction!

The once perfectly fitted magic gestures were completely destroyed into a twisted mess.

After doing all this, Lynn reached out and ripped the eye of agamotto from Strange's chest.

"Clack!"

The metal casing was crushed by Lynn, and that Time Stone emitting green light landed steadily in his palm.

"Game over."

Holding the Time Stone, the Bloodtrix emblem on Lynn's chest lit up with a red glow.

"Hum!"

The Time Wraith form disengaged!

Lynn returned to his human state in a black trench coat.

At the same time the form disengaged, the gears of time, which had been forcibly braked, resumed turning!

"Whoosh!"

The previously stagnant World instantly came to life.

The dust hovering in mid-air continued to fall, and the sound of wind outside the window resumed.

For Strange, his perception was still stuck at the one-thousandth of a second before he was about to complete his spell!

He was just about to shout the line, "I've come to bargain."

But the sound hadn't reached his throat.

"Urgh, ahhhhhh!!!"

A terrifying, bone-drilling, flesh-gouging pain surged instantly from his hands into his brain nerves without warning!

Strange let out a scream of extreme misery.

He looked down in horror and found that his hands, which he was so proud of and used to cast magic, had somehow turned into a pile of twisted, mangled flesh!

The bone fragments of all ten fingers had pierced through the skin!

Most fatally, his chest was empty!

The eye of agamotto was gone!

The imminent time loop magic had also dissipated and vanished into the air because the spellcasting action was physically severed!

"What happened?!"

Strange knelt on the ground in pain, falling into extreme madness and disbelief.

No time reset! No magic confrontation!

In 0.001 seconds, his fingers were crippled, and the stone was stolen!

This did not belong to the category of any magic!

"Are you surprised? Great Sorcerer Supreme."

A voice like a nightmare sounded above his head.

Strange raised his head and looked despairingly at Lynn standing in front of him.

Lynn looked down at him from a high position; between two fingers of his right hand, he was holding the green-glowing Time Stone.

A cruel sneer curled up at the corner of Lynn's mouth.

Strange completely collapsed.

He finally understood that the 14 million dead ends he had seen using the Time Stone were not all of them.

Because this monster was not bound by the time dimension at all!

"You win..."

Strange collapsed to the ground, his eyes completely losing their light, like a walking corpse.

Lynn ignored the cripple.

He withdrew his gaze and extremely roughly pressed the green Time Stone against the crimson blood watch on his left wrist!

"Boom!!!"

The moment the Time Stone touched the watch face, Space (Blue), Mind (Yellow), Reality (Red), Power (Purple), Soul (Orange), Time (Green)!

The six cosmic singularities, the six ultimate laws maintaining the operation of the Marvel Universe, had arrived at an unprecedented, once-in-a-century gathering within Lynn's human shell!

"Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum!!!"

The crimson blood watch erupted with a sharp alarm that pierced the soul!

It was a violent roar of extreme excitement and extreme hunger!

Countless dark red biological threads instantly surged, directly swallowing the entire Time Stone whole!

[Ding! Detected the last piece of the cosmic origin puzzle: Time Stone!]

[The six cosmic singularities have all been collected!]

[Forcibly tearing through underlying laws... Breaking through the capacity limit of the single Universe...]

[crimson blood watch repair progress: 60%... 80%... 99%...]

Lynn threw his head back abruptly, his arms spreading uncontrollably.

A terrifying energy that transcended humanity, transcended gods, and even transcended the dimension of this single Universe, erupted from every one of his cells!

"Snap... snap, snap..."

Under the terrifying pressure of the resonance of the six stones, the indestructible New York Sanctum began to silently annihilate, turning into the smallest atoms.

Not just the Sanctum.

The entire Earth's atmosphere was torn apart, and the sky turned an eerie dark red.

The Nine Realms, and even the center of the Milky Way Galaxy millions of light-years away, all stars stopped flickering at this moment.

The entire Marvel Universe was wailing under the unbearable burden caused by the transformation inside Lynn!

[Ding! Repair progress: 100%!]

[Bloodtrix ultimate authority, officially unlocked!]
