Penguin had thought he would die at that terrifying monster's hands, costing Gotham a genius.
But to his surprise, the man who haunted his dreams appeared again.
He raised his head and looked toward his front left in excitement.
A man in metal armor and a Bear Head Mask stood in front of him and Harley Quinn, with a massive salted fish slung over his shoulder.
It was him! It was him!
It really was him!
Penguin's heart pounded as a strange feeling welled up inside him.
It was just like... what Joker felt when he faced Batman.
"Is this love?" he murmured.
"Love, my fucking ass!"
Lynn kicked Penguin in the butt, knocking him flat on the ground again.
Harley's beautiful eyes widened when she saw the salted fish Lynn had used to block Wolverine's claws.
"Holy shit! What is that thing?"
A salted fish had actually blocked those razor-sharp claws. What scientific principle could possibly explain that?
Lynn raised his head and looked at Venom Wolverine. His opponent seemed puzzled that his adamantium claws hadn't left a single mark on the Salty Fish Thrust Sword.
"You really are a boss. If you'd put a little more force into that, you probably could've smashed my Salty Fish Thrust Sword.
"But now... your turn's over. It's my turn... Eat my elbow!!"
As he spoke, Lynn bent his arm, his muscles surging with power as he drove his elbow toward Venom Wolverine's head.
Almost instantly, a tall, muscular Black man's phantom appeared beside him.
The phantom delivered the same elbow strike in sync with him, letting out a thunderous roar:
"Man!"
Bam!!
His elbow slammed into Venom Wolverine's head with a dull thud.
The tremendous force knocked Venom Wolverine's head sideways. Black, liquid-like goo splattered away, exposing half a withered, rotting face filled with sharp teeth.
A nauseating stench of decay wafted out. Lynn could even vaguely make out flies buzzing around Venom Wolverine's face.
But a moment later, Venom covered the rotten face again, restoring that hideous, fang-filled visage.
"Human, stay out of my way!"
Venom's muffled voice came from in front of him. Looking at the man in metal armor and a Bear Head Mask, he found the whole thing absurd.
Where the fuck had I ended up?
Why was there someone dressed in such a bizarre outfit?
"You can talk?" Lynn asked curiously. "I thought you could only scream and roar, like my next-door neighbor's dog, Bruce."
Venom: "..."
You're treating me, the mighty Symbiote Venom, like a dog?
"But I'm curious. Why are you and Wolverine here?" Lynn asked.
"You don't deserve to know."
Venom snorted coldly. Controlling Zombie Wolverine's body, he slashed his sharp claws at Lynn's face again.
"Fine, don't tell me."
With the Salty Fish Thrust Sword over his shoulder, Lynn quickly pivoted to the side, perfectly dodging Venom Wolverine's claws while still finding time to run his right hand over the top of his Bear Head Mask.
Venom: ???
What the hell was that flashy-ass dodge?
There was no denying it: that ridiculously showy dodge left Venom dumbstruck.
While he stood stunned, Lynn raised his elbow.
His elbow slammed into Venom Wolverine's body, the tremendous burst of force making him stumble.
Then Lynn raised his arm again.
Elbow strike! Elbow strike! Elbow strike!
The Mamba's Martial Soul True Body followed Lynn's movements, roaring as he repeatedly elbowed Venom Wolverine.
For a moment, a barrage of dull thuds mingled with a man's roars.
Bam!!
Venom Wolverine raised his right hand and firmly blocked Lynn's elbow strike.
Clearly, Lynn's stats were lower than his.
Venom's mouth stretched into a grin reaching his ears, exposing a row of sinister, razor-sharp white teeth.
"It's useless... with Spider-Man gone, I'm invincible!"
Hearing that familiar line, Lynn couldn't help asking:
"Are you Chengdu Superman too?"
"What the hell?"
Venom froze. What the hell was Chengdu Superman? Did this world have a Superman?
Swish!!
The sharp claws ripped through the air with another fierce whistle, stabbing toward Lynn's chest.
"That move again?"
Lynn turned his back to Venom Wolverine, and his right hand, gripping the Salty Fish Thrust Sword, immediately moved.
Clang! Clang!
Venom controlled Wolverine, slashing his claws at Lynn over and over.
But to his surprise, the man before him perfectly blocked every attack with that salted fish.
Not only that, the bastard had deliberately turned his back and wasn't even looking at him.
What the hell was that supposed to mean?
Venom flew into a rage. He immediately drew on every ounce of strength in Wolverine's body, leaped into the air, and slashed down hard.
"Die, you damned bastard!!"
"Boring."
Lynn opened his mouth and yawned, holding the salted fish firmly behind his back with his right hand.

Clang!
The Salty Fish Thrust Sword perfectly blocked Venom Wolverine's claw strike.
Venom lost it. His black face visibly flushed red with rage.
"Fuck! This is Symbiote abuse... this is fucking Symbiote abuse!!"
Seeing Lynn fighting Venom Wolverine, Harley naturally didn't stand around doing nothing.
"Dinosaur War God, move!!"
She shouldered Lynn's Rocket Launcher, her face brimming with madness.
"Hahaha! You damned monster, I'm gonna fucking blast you to death!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Rocket after rocket slammed into Venom Wolverine, blasting him onto the nearby street.
The flames from the explosions lit up a corner of the street, while the piercing wail of police sirens
drifted faintly over from afar.
But against Venom Wolverine's accelerated healing, attacks like that had no effect whatsoever.
Heavy footsteps sounded again, and a muscular figure over three meters tall slowly emerged from the smoke.
He didn't even have a scratch on him, as though all the rockets Harley had fired were fake.
"Holy shit!" Harley stared blankly. "Is he even human?"
"He wasn't human to begin with."
Gripping his Salty Fish Thrust Sword, Lynn suddenly charged.
The salted fish cut through the air, instantly slashing toward Venom Wolverine's lower body.
"You despicable human!"
Venom controlled Wolverine, forcefully bringing down his right claws to block Lynn's Salty Fish Thrust Sword.
He thrust his left hand forward, intending to stab Lynn, but for some reason, it automatically stabbed at the salted fish in Lynn's hand instead.
After several exchanges, Lynn had struck Venom Wolverine's body with the salted fish several times.
The salt crystals that fell onto him gradually corroded Venom's body.
But these were all insignificant wounds that couldn't do any real damage to Venom Wolverine.
Tch... I need to get Venom off Wolverine first, Lynn thought.
"What's wrong? Looks like you're slowing down!"
Noticing the change in Lynn's blocking speed, Venom gave him an arrogant grin.
"Heh, I'm just getting ready for phase two!" Lynn replied.
"Phase two? You think you're Iron-"
Before he could finish, Venom's eyes widened as he stared at the scene before him in utter disbelief.
Beneath the pitch-black night sky, a red-and-gold suit of Iron Man Armor stood on the ground. The flames burning around it lit its surface, reflecting a dazzling metallic sheen.
Venom: "..."
You really are Iron Man?!
