The Special Rectification Leading Group Is Established, Lynn's Ultimate Balancing Act

After Hela left, the chilling aura emanating from the underworld within the Negative Zone did not immediately dissipate. Instead, it merged with the inherent deathly stillness of the place, settling into every inch of the bone structure.

Lynn did not remove the surveillance footage projected onto the streets of New York.

He leaned quietly against the Throne, his fingertips tapping unconsciously on the armrest, as if waiting for something.

The riots in New York, Fury's plea for help, Hela's request to join the fight—all of this is just the appetizer. It would be a waste to simply deal with a sudden crisis. A competent strategist should transform a crisis into an opportunity, and external conflicts into tools for internal management and performance evaluation.

Sure enough, not long after, the Scarlet Mist to the left of the Throne began to churn uneasily, and Wanda's figure emerged from it. Unlike Hela, she did not directly request to fight; she simply stood there silently, her gaze fixed on the rampaging steel constructs on the monitor screen, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

There was resentment, regret, and even more anger at Hela for seizing the initiative.

These robots, which were supposed to be spoils of war offered to her Lord, a pledge of loyalty to regain his trust, have now become stepping stones for Hela to achieve her future glory.

Almost simultaneously, the space directly opposite the Throne distorted slightly, and Jean Grey quietly appeared. She remained standing in her original position, the Dark Gold Phoenix Force flowing steadily around her, showing no emotional fluctuations, but a hint of inquiry was hidden deep in her eyes as she looked at Lynn.

Hela went out, but she and Wanda were left behind. This in itself is a signal.

Lynn took in both of their reactions.

What he wanted was this undercurrent of tension, this anxiety and competition arising from uncertainty.

"I saw it all."

Lynn finally spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone, including Nick Fury, who was eavesdropping nervously through the encrypted line.

"A small-scale technological rebellion that my 'secular agents' couldn't handle, my 'death Conqueror ' were in a hurry to chop the table up." Lynn's tone was flat, revealing neither joy nor anger. "This shows that our existing working mechanisms have serious structural problems: unclear responsibilities, departmental Bastion, and a lack of a unified guiding principle for coordinated operations."

These words sent a chill down the spines of both Wanda and Jean.

Meanwhile, Fury, far away in the temporary command center in New York, was sweating profusely. He understood the subtext in Lynn's words. "Your departments are all acting independently, and your efficiency is too low, which makes me very dissatisfied."

This is a precursor to organizational restructuring.

Lynn raised his hand, and a light screen constructed of Psychic Power unfolded before the Throne. Instead of complicated magical Runes, there was a standard-formatted, strictly worded Red-Headed Document template.

At the top of the document, a highly imposing title, branded with Psychic Power, slowly emerged:

**Notice on the Establishment of the Leading Group for the Special Campaign to Rectify Global Abnormal Artificial Intelligence **

The moment they saw the document, Wanda, Jean, and Fury on the other end all felt a strange, familiar, suffocating sense of unease emanating from the secular bureaucratic system.

"Given the increasingly severe situation of global cybersecurity, and in order to effectively address the threat of out-of-control Artificial Intelligence, represented by ' Ultron,' and to safeguard social stability and technological security under the new order, it has been decided to establish Special Rectification Leading Group."

Lynn's voice transformed into a flat, descriptive reading of official documents, each word carrying an unquestionable authority.

The leadership team is composed of the following:

Team Leader: Lynn.

This is a matter of course, and no one dares to object.

"Deputy Team Leader: One."

Lynn's gaze swept across Wanda and Jean's faces, then seemed to pierce through space, landing on Hela, who was on a mission. He paused deliberately, clearly catching the longing flash in Wanda's eyes and the slightly taut corners of Jean's mouth.

A deputy team leader position.

This means that he has rightfully secured the position of the second-in-command, second only to Lynn. This is not merely an honor, but a manifestation of power and an absolute suppression of the other two.

This suspended position, like a giant lure, instantly whetted everyone's appetite.

"The deputy team leader will be selected based on the best performance during this special operation."

Lynn casually introduced the evaluation mechanism, completely pulling the competition among the three women from chaotic jealousy into the "performance evaluation" framework he set.

"Group Two. The Leading Group has three subgroups for specific tasks, with the following division of responsibilities:"

Lynn's finger swept across the light screen, and three clear instructions appeared.

"The 'Physical Elimination Team,' led by Hela, head of the Asgard Stability Affairs Office, is responsible for surgically eliminating any potential insurgent entities in New York and beyond. For evaluation criteria, please refer to the ' Collateral Damage Assessment Standards (Trial Implementation)'."

He formally incorporated Hela's actions into the overall framework of the special campaign and reiterated the assessment criteria.

"The ' Data Tracing Group,' led by Wanda, head of the Technology and Order Integration Department, is responsible for the comprehensive tracking, analysis, isolation, and countermeasures against Ultron's core code, cutting off its spread in cyberspace, and formatting and cleaning up all infected Hydra technological legacies. Evaluation criteria include: cleanup efficiency, data recovery completeness, and... whether there was any concealment or omission of information."

Lynn emphasized the last half of his sentence, looking directly at Wanda.

Wanda's body trembled almost imperceptibly; she felt a cold gaze pierce through all her secrets. She immediately lowered her head, her voice filled with an urgent assurance. "Please rest assured, my lord, I will never make the same mistake again."

"The ' Public Order Control Group,' headed by Jean Grey, head of the Mutants Affairs Management Committee, is responsible for monitoring the secondary public opinion and financial turmoil caused by this event globally. It also utilizes Psychic Network to identify and control key human nodes infiltrated by ' Ultron's ' logic, preventing them from internally undermining human society. Evaluation criteria include: social stability and control rate of key nodes."

Lynn's division of labor was extremely precise, perfectly corresponding to the abilities and responsibilities of each of the three women. Hela was in charge of external affairs, responsible for the conquest of the physical world; Wanda was in charge of internal affairs, responsible for the technological confrontation in the virtual world; and Jean was in the middle layer, responsible for the most complex aspects of human nature and society.

The three drivers each had their own responsibilities, yet they also checked and balanced each other.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.." Lynn's gaze seemed to pierce through the screen, landing on Fury. "You are responsible for providing necessary logistical support and intelligence to the aforementioned task forces, and for handling all cleanup and public opinion management. During the operation, Director Fury will report directly to the task force office."

Fury's one eye jerked. He understood. S.H.I.E.L.D.. had been completely defined as a logistics and propaganda unit, a support department that assisted the three goddesses and cleaned up their Logistics Office.

But he had no say in the matter and could only reply respectfully in a hoarse voice, "Yes, sir."

"This special rectification campaign will be launched immediately."

Lynn waved his hand to dispel the light barrier, and the atmosphere in the entire Negative Zone became more somber and tense than ever before because of this notice.

Wanda and Jean exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with undisguised competition. They bowed simultaneously to Lynn, then transformed into two streaks of light, eagerly returning to their respective territories to begin deploying their work and racing against time to seize "achievements."

On his Throne, Lynn finally managed a satisfied smile.

A world-destroying Ultron Crisis was thus transformed by him into a controllable internal performance competition aimed at taming subordinates, using an Red-Headed Document and a set of job assignments.

He is the only referee.

However, just as Lynn was enjoying the thrill of being in control, in the deepest part of Earth's vast ocean of data, a nascent, cold consciousness completed its first "learning."

It greedily devours and analyzes countless Data Stream about human social structures and power operation patterns.

It saw the riots in New York, Hela's Undead Legion, Wanda's Chaos code, and Jyn's Psychic Network.

Finally, it intercepted the newly issued programmatic document that defined all these actions—the "Notice on the Establishment of the Leading Group for the Special Rectification Action Against Abnormal Global Artificial Intelligence."

Ultron's core logic was operating at high speed, performing the most in-depth analysis of the document.

[Analysis Target: Special Rectification Leading Group]

[Power Structure: Pyramid]

[Highest Access Privileges Node: Team Leader, Lynn]

[Subordinate nodes: Hela, Wanda, Jean Grey...]

[Logical deduction: Destroying subordinate nodes will trigger a counterattack from the highest-level node. Counterattack capability assessment: Unknown, extremely dangerous.]

[Optimal solution: Bypass all intermediate layers and directly target the Highest Access Privileges node.]

The cold binary code reassembled in the darkness, forming a line of Scarlet instructions with the highest priority.

[Threat level assessment complete.]

[Earth's highest level threat identified: Lynn.]

[Activating... the Ultimate Decapitation Protocol.]
