Inside the abandoned soccer field.
Sandman stared intently at Lynn.
He could never have imagined that this guy, who looked just like an ordinary person, possessed such terrifying strength.
He could even bypass his body after it turned to sand and injure him.
Not even Spider-Man or the other members of the Avengers had that kind of ability.
As Lynn drew closer, Sandman began backing away.
"Friend, what happened just now was only a misunderstanding. There's no need for us to get so hostile."
"Misunderstanding?" Lynn chuckled. "If I really were an ordinary person, wouldn't your so-called misunderstanding have killed me just now?"
Hearing the firm killing intent in Lynn's voice, Sandman's voice began to tremble despite himself.
"We can get along just fine. I'm Sandman, one of the Sinister Six. If you kill me, they'll come after you!"
Lynn ignored him and simply continued walking forward.
Seeing that Lynn's expression still hadn't changed, William Baker clenched his teeth.
"Fine, then die!"
Just then, countless grains of sand gathered beneath his feet and wrapped around his body.
The bloody hole in his palm began to heal rapidly, and his body transformed into a sandy form made up of countless grains.
As it absorbed more and more sand, this sandy body swelled in size.
Almost in an instant, Sandman grew to a terrifying seven meters tall, like a small giant.
Sandman had the superhuman ability to control sand.
In his battle against Spider-Man, he had even been able to transform into a terrifying giant more than twenty meters tall.
The sand in this abandoned soccer field wasn't plentiful enough to let him grow any taller than seven meters.
But that was already enough.
Sandman raised his enormous fist and glared fiercely at Lynn.
"Die, you bastard!"
If Lynn had encountered this situation right after escaping the Mutant Research Base, he might have been caught off guard.
But now, not only had his Electric Current Drive reached the terrifying strength of 200,000 volts, he also possessed 80% Perfect Realm, Armament Haki, and Observation Haki.
Perfect Realm itself allowed Lynn to combine all his combat experience and anticipate Sandman's attacks.
Observation Haki could enhance his senses, letting him perceive the movements of enemies outside his field of vision, predict their attack trajectories, and sense the strength of living beings.
Combined with Observation Haki and 80% Perfect Realm, Lynn's perception had reached a terrifying level.
It might even surpass Spider-Man's Spider-Sense.
He'd already predicted Sandman's next move before he even began absorbing the sand.
But Lynn didn't stop him.
He wanted to test just how strong he was now.
Was he at the level of the strongest Tier 3 mutant, or did he fall within the realm of a Tier 4 mutant?
As for the Sinister Six Sandman had mentioned, Lynn knew of them, but didn't take them seriously.
It wasn't that he didn't fear the Sinister Six at all. Rather, Lynn possessed a Dominating Will that defied them.
Even if the Sinister Six came after him, he had the Dominating Will to take them on all the same!
"Die!"
The giant Sandman roared, clenched his fist, and slammed it down at Lynn.
His enormous fist came down like a meteorite, tearing through the air with a violent howl.
Just as Sandman's fist was about to reach him, Lynn's muscular body suddenly moved.
Body Flicker Technique: Shave!
The combination of Body Flicker Technique and Shave, together with Lynn's physical abilities—already dozens of times greater than an ordinary person's—sent him rushing toward Sandman's arm at half the speed of sound, leaving behind a blurred afterimage.
Then—
Armament Haki: Fist Gun!
Black Armament Haki, crackling with golden electricity, wrapped around Lynn's arm.
Before Sandman's enormous, meteorite-like arm could react, Lynn's fist slammed into it.
BOOM!
Terrifying force burst forth. As if hit by a cannonball, the seven-meter sand giant was blasted to pieces.
Countless grains of sand fell from Sandman's body.
But that wasn't the end of it.
Seeing Sandman panic, Lynn stamped his foot and rushed straight toward him.
Armament Haki: Konoha Strong Whirlwind!
Almost instantly, the Armament Haki wrapped around his arm vanished and gradually gathered around Lynn's right leg.
With a sharp whoosh that tore through the air, his high kick struck Sandman's right hand with pinpoint accuracy.
A crisp crack rang out. Sandman's arm was kicked clean off.
The severed half-arm, made of sand, flew away and landed on the ground, a trickle of scarlet blood running from the stump.
The tremendous force sent Sandman flying several meters, like a broken kite, before he crashed heavily to the ground.
As Sandman let out a shrill scream, Lynn raised his leg again. His kick, more terrifying than a missile, slammed into Sandman's abdomen.
A huge mouthful of blood burst from Sandman's mouth as sand flew everywhere.
That kick had taken half his life.
He lay on the ground, unable to get back up.
Sandman William stared wide-eyed at Lynn as he slowly approached.
"Y-you... who are you?! How can you have such terrifying strength?!"
Why could this man pierce his body, which was made of sand?
Who the hell was this guy?!
Lynn remained silent and activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Jet-black Amaterasu flames suddenly ignited across Sandman's body.
Everyone knew that when sand encountered extreme heat, it turned into glass.
The moment Lynn's Amaterasu flames appeared on Sandman, they began gradually turning his body into transparent glass.
When Sandman felt his body turning to glass, his expression changed dramatically.
"No... no!"
Before long, Sandman had become a transparent Glass Man.
After he died, the Amaterasu flames gradually faded away.
After killing Sandman, Lynn began testing everything he had gained during this time in the abandoned soccer field.
"I still need to work out a martial art of my own through my Electric Current Drive training."
Lynn sat cross-legged in the middle of the abandoned soccer field and began thinking about the path he should take from here.
Although he had many abilities, he didn't have a martial art he could train in to improve himself.
Take the Magnetic Field Worldview, for example: every magnetic-field expert had a martial arts system of their own.
So how should Lynn build his own martial arts system?
He was a little unsure.
But as time passed and his brain, developed to 90%, continued working, the direction of his future martial arts system gradually became clearer.
"Since magnetic fields are the foundation and my body's cells are the support, I need to create and train in martial arts related to electromagnetism.
"The Tao Te Ching says, 'The Dao begets one, one begets two, two beget three, and three beget all things.' Could I reverse that and have all things give rise to one?
"I'll combine all my abilities and cultivate an ultimate martial art that belongs to me alone!"
As he thought this, golden electricity surged around Lynn.
The electricity from his Electric Current Drive, his Lightning Release Chakra, and his Armament Haki and Observation Haki all began to merge under the command of his will...
