The Birth of a New God, Immune to Magic!

The golden torrent pouring into Link was no gentle gift. It was an invasion, a brutal remaking.

Ancient divinity from the summit of Mount Olympus carried its innate pride and laws into his mortal body, seeking to reshape him completely into its vessel.

Golden divine markings appeared from nowhere, branding his skin, his muscles, even the depths of his bones. They were magic's laws made manifest, trying to rewrite Link's very code of life and transform him from a carbon-based creature into a sacred being of pure concept.

But the body's original inhabitant was no pushover.

The Kryptonian genes dormant in every cell were enraged by the foreign power.

They were the pinnacle of what science could create, forged by billions of years of evolution on the far side of the universe. Every atom obeyed the strictest physical laws. To those genes, this irrational magic that created something from nothing was a virus to be purged.

Hummm—

A low roar erupted inside Link's body.

War broke out within him.

His Kryptonian physiology struck back on its own. Solar energy stored in his cells became pure white radiance, burning like a cleansing fire that could reduce all things to ash. It seared the golden markings as they struggled to take root.

Link's body became a savage battlefield.

A sacred, imposing golden rune would surface on one patch of skin, only for raging solar energy to scorch it black the next instant. His powerful healing ability would then restore the flesh, and divinity would eat into it once more.

Gold and white, lights born of utterly different systems of power, flashed wildly across him, casting the vast, empty temple alternately into brilliance and shadow.

The agony reached deep into his soul, enough to drive even the toughest man mad in an instant.
