Behind Lynn stood several clones, almost identical to the black-and-gold figure.
Those clones gave off the same terrifying aura, enough to make anyone's expression change.
The shells and bullets that had rained down here earlier had been blocked by those clones.
Blood-red markings slowly appeared across Lynn's handsome, rugged face, each one two or three centimeters long.
The markings formed three patterns stretching down from his forehead, like the sharp teeth of an orca.
These were Battle Marks, symbols of a magnetic-force master's power, martial arts, and fighting style.
Bzzzt...
Golden currents gradually crackled around Lynn, making his black hair stand on end.
He raised his head. His gaze pierced the thousands of meters between him and the armed forces ahead, sharp as an eagle's, and fixed on them.
"You... are all gonna fucking die!"
As the words left his mouth, the muscles in his legs bulged. The Body Flicker Technique, Shave, and his terrifying physical prowess erupted all at once.
Boom!
The ground split apart, leaving a crater a full meter in diameter beneath his feet.
A terrifying shockwave spread hundreds of meters in every direction, sending waves of air rolling outward.
Lynn's whole body became a blurred afterimage as he surged forward at a terrifying speed approaching the sound barrier.
At the sight, Captain Locke's heart trembled. He hurriedly gave the order:
"Maximum firepower! Blast him to hell! Fighter jets, tanks, CIWS, Patriots, and Sentinel Robots—send them all in!"
He clenched his teeth, staring at the figure ahead as it charged through billowing clouds of dust, radiating a terrifying aura.
Captain Locke grabbed a Gatling gun with both hands and fired continuously toward the front.
"Fucking hell! You damn Mutant, just die already!!"
At Captain Locke's command, the armed forces sprang into action.
Rat-tat-tat! Boom, boom, boom!!
The CIWS fired more than ten thousand rounds a minute, its steel barrel glowing red.
The Patriot Missile System, nearly out of missiles, began another round of bombardment before it could be resupplied.
The fighter jets overhead also opened fire, raining down attacks on the towering figure below.
Lynn slapped a missile aside. As he watched the steel barrage closing in from all directions, his heart tightened.
"Fine, then. Let's see just how strong I am when I unleash my full power!"
Primordial Unity!
In an instant, under the influence of this pure power and iron will, the cells throughout Lynn's body rubbed together at an even greater speed.
His muscles swelled further, and his terrifying, savage aura far surpassed what it had been before.
Even the countless ions in the air began to unleash tiny bolts of lightning, stirred by the surging power.
It was as if the world itself could feel Lynn's unstoppable ambition and his resolve to face all of humanity's weapons with his own strength.
The power throughout his body surged, growing stronger and stronger!
Electric Current Drive: 200,000 Volts → Electric Current Drive: 300,000 Volts!!
All his power erupted at once. Terrifying currents gradually gathered into black-and-gold armor that wrapped around Lynn.
The next instant.
Lynn charged forward at supersonic speed.
His face twisted into a snarl. His right hand clenched into a fist, currents of unparalleled force coiling around his arm as he became a humanoid beast gone mad.
"Fucking Electric Current Drive at 300,000 Volts! Perfect Realm, Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, and the full power of my chakra!!"
Fueled by power far greater than before, Lynn swung at the armed forces a thousand meters away.
"Fist Cannon! Fucking die, you bastards!!!"
His fist shot forward. The immense force instantly blasted through the air, unleashing a terrifying white shockwave of compressed air that hurtled toward the dense missile barrage like a meteor shower!
Boom!!
The missiles were blasted backward by the terrifying force, while the ground was flattened beneath the dreadful shockwave.
Captain Locke's eyes widened in shock as he watched the terrifying shockwave surge toward him.
"Shit! That's supposed to be a Level Three Mutant?"
What Level Three Mutant could unleash an attack like that?
He'd struck nothing but air, and still produced a shockwave this terrifying.
Even the superheroes in the Avengers might not be able to do that, right?
When he came to his senses, Captain Locke hurriedly shouted to his men in the cab:
"Quick! Drive! Get out of here!"
The armored vehicle lurched into motion. Its engine roared like a beast as it sped away.
But.
The terrifying shockwave was closing in on them at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Come on! Floor it! Hurry!"
"Captain! It's already floored! We're going as fast as we can!!"
At his subordinate's words, Captain Locke froze.
He stared at the terrifying shockwave, now only a hundred meters away, and cursed:
"Damn you, Subject 52! I'll fuck your whole family! Even if I die, my family will still—"
Boom!!
The terrifying shockwave, carrying immense force, slammed into Locke's armored convoy.
The sturdy steel was crushed flat in an instant. The armored vehicles were blown apart, setting off a massive explosion.
The CIWS, Patriot Missile System, armored vehicles, and tanks were all blown apart by the terrifying shockwave.
The shockwave's force also triggered a chain reaction among the ions in the air.
In an instant, a massive explosion a hundred meters in diameter erupted.
Boom!!
Terrifying purple lightning surged at the heart of the explosion, then spread wildly in every direction with the gale-force wind.
A massive crater, hundreds of meters across, was blasted into the ground.
"Cough, cough..."
Wolverine pushed the dirt off his body.
His face was stricken as he recalled what had just happened.
What kind of heart-stopping scene had that been?
That man had clenched his right hand into a fist and punched the air.
He'd actually created a terrifying shockwave hundreds of meters across.
A Level Four Mutant! He had to be a Level Four Mutant!!
But even thinking of the massive explosion that had just erupted left Wolverine shaken.
If he hadn't had an Adamantium skeleton throughout his body, he would have died in the bombardment and explosion.
But he had no idea whether Hans and Matthews were still alive.
Wolverine raised his head and looked at the ruins all around him.
The steel tanks had been blown to pieces, and the armored vehicles were overturned all over the place, so mangled they were barely recognizable.
At the sight, the shock in his eyes deepened.
"...Shit! Fighter jets, bomb that bastard to death!!"
At the sound of the furious man's voice, Wolverine's heart tightened, and he hurriedly turned to look.
He saw a man lying face-down in the dirt, his body encased in a battered Exoskeleton Armor, both hands and feet blown to pieces.
It was Captain Locke, leader of the armed forces.
Was he still alive?
Whoosh!!
The Armed Fighter Jets soared through the sky, their gun barrels and cannons spitting fire as they unleashed their full force on the figure below.
Without even looking up, Lynn flung an arm toward the sky.
With his Perfect Realm at eighty percent and his keen senses, that pure power stimulated the surrounding ions with pinpoint precision.
Rumble!!
In an instant, a branching silver bolt of lightning shot from Lynn's hand.
It struck a fighter jet.
With a bang.
One of the three fighter jets was pierced by the lightning, then crashed to the ground and exploded.
Lynn hadn't even used his own power for that attack.
He'd simply stirred up the free ions in nature, setting off that terrifying lightning bolt.
Feeling the cells throughout his body stirring with excitement, Lynn walked slowly forward.
"If I reach the realm of Magnetic Field Rotation, I'll be able to use my own magnetic field to rotate the universe's great magnetic field.
Then perhaps I can shift the universe itself, like a star or a black hole..."
