Divide and conquer: Lynn's dimensional banishment plan
Lynn abruptly pulled his toes back from mid-air.
On his retina, a deep red warning box flashed frantically. The countdown to the collapse of Earth's Magnetic Field pounded like a death knell in his brain.
"What's wrong?" Wanda keenly noticed Lynn's stiffness. She pressed close to Lynn's back and, through his trench coat, could clearly feel the tension in his muscles.
Lynn did not answer. He took a deep breath and forcibly reversed the circuit of the four Higher-Dimensional Energy that had just merged within his body.
"Puff--"
A mouthful of blood, tinged with purple and gold light, spurted from his mouth, splashing onto the broken alloy floor of TVA. The clash of Higher-Dimensional Energy instantly corroded a deep pit in the ground, and a pungent, acrid smell of sourness and burnt metal filled the air.
"Lynn!"
The four women gasped in unison. The tense, Shura Field instantly came to a standstill.
Lynn knelt down on one knee, gripping the edge of the Control Console tightly with both hands. A network of cracks, like shards of broken porcelain, began to appear on his skin. Chaos red, deathly green, and the black of the Symbiote intertwined and flowed wildly along his veins. Each pulse was accompanied by the cracking sound of his bones breaking under the strain.
"My body... can't hold on much longer." Lynn gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse as if sandpaper was being rubbed together.
This wasn't all an act. Four top-tier energies were converging within his body, and the pain of his meridians being torn apart and reassembled inch by inch caused cold sweat to stream down his forehead like a waterfall.
"TVA's cut rules have corrupted my Genes Source Code." Lynn gasped for breath, grabbing Hela's wrist as she reached out to grab him.
The Queen of Asgard's hand was as cold as a block of ice. Hela grasped it in return, her eerie green divine power flowing into his body in an attempt to suppress the rampaging energy.
"Hold on! I won't allow you to die!" Hela's voice was filled with an unusual panic.
"Hela..." Lynn raised his head, his deep eyes filled with weakness and longing. He had precisely grasped the domineering queen's weakness. "Your essence has stabilized my soul, but this mortal body simply cannot bear the Death Force of Asgard. If I do not rebuild my divine body, I will not even have the right to return to the Throne with you."
Hela abruptly stopped, the Night Sky Sword drawing sparks as it sliced through the ground. "What do you need? I'll snatch it from you!"
"The sap from the deepest part of the World Tree, or... the Eternal Flame from Odin's Vault." Lynn looked directly into her eyes, his tone tinged with a morbid fanaticism. "Only the Queen of Asgard can retrieve for me the foundation stone to rebuild my divine body. Once I merge with the Eternal Flame, I will be your true King Consort."
The name "King Consort" struck Hela like a powerful, precise blow to Hela nerves.
She arrogantly raised her chin, coldly sweeping her gaze over Wanda and Gwen Stacy, whose faces were filled with hostility. A victor's smirk curled at the corner of her lips. "You're smart enough to know who the woman who can grant you Eternity is. Wait for me here. Anyone who dares to touch a hair on your head, I'll come back and slaughter their universe."
Lynn's left hand, which was behind his back, rapidly tapped a few times on the TVA control panel, forcibly changing the coordinates of an orange portal.
"Go, my queen."
Hela gave him a deep look, then, sword in hand, stepped without hesitation into the portal to Asgard. A flash of light, and the portal closed.
One was sent away.
Lynn secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The countdown to Earth's explosion had eased slightly. He turned his head and looked at Female Venom was anxiously slapping the ground with her tentacles.
Thick, black liquid dripped onto the control panel, making a hissing, corrosive sound.
"And you." Lynn raised his hand, letting a black tentacle covered in barbs wrap around his forearm. "The Symbiote's origin is too domineering; it's devouring my cells. For us to perfectly merge, forever inseparable, I need the Extreme Yin Fire of the Hell Dimension to neutralize the rejection reaction."
"Hell... Extreme Yin Fire..." The Female Venom's massive body writhed violently, letting out a hissing, leaky roar from her throat.
"Yes, go to the Hell Dimension. Find Mephisto, dig out his Essence Crystal, and bring it to me." Lynn's fingertips gently caressed the slimy tentacle. "Only then can I truly belong to you."
"Tear Mephisto apart! He belongs to me!"
A greedy red light erupted from the Female Venom's vertical pupils. Lynn pressed Enter, and a Hell portal, emanating a strong sulfurous smell and dark red flames, opened on the left. The Female Venom transformed into a raging black shadow and impatiently plunged into the Hell Dimension.
Two yandere-level Yandere have been sent away.
Lynn let out a long breath, his tense back finally relaxing a bit. He casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the horrifying cracks on his body quickly disappeared under his deliberate control.
Earth was saved. The remaining two have just enough carrying capacity.
He turned around, preparing to use a prepared speech to appease the remaining two, but suddenly met two pairs of eyes staring intently at him.
Wanda and Gwen Stacy.
The temperature in the air suddenly dropped, and even the sparks flickering in the TVA Main Control Room seemed to freeze.
Wanda crossed her arms, her dark red trench coat billowing even without wind. She tilted her head slightly, a dangerously smirk playing on her lips, and the Chaos Particles dancing at her fingertips emitted a piercing crackling sound, "Well done, darling. You tricked that old woman and that disgusting slime away so you could be alone with me?"
Gwen Stacy ripped off the Ghost-Spider's mask, her eyes bloodshot like a rabbit ready to bite. With a flick of her wrist, the high-pressure Silk snapped and wrapped tightly around Lynn's waist, pulling him forcefully into her arms.
"You won't get me away again!" Gwen Stacy's voice was thick with sobs and obsession. "You said you were my world! I'm not going anywhere; I'm going to keep my eyes glued to you!"
Lynn looked at the two women who refused to leave no matter what, and knew that her charade had come to an end.
The two women's obsession with him went beyond a desire for power and Dimension. They didn't want a future; they wanted him by their side right now, immediately.
"Alright." Lynn gave up resisting. He grabbed the Gwen Stacy Silk wrapped around Gwen's waist with one hand and put his other arm around Wanda's shoulder with complete ease, forcibly pulling the two tense women closer to him.
"Let's go home."
Lynn pressed the start button, and the last portal to Earth-199999 unfolded before him.
The three of them stepped across the light curtain.
The feeling of weightlessness vanished in an instant, accompanied by the strong smell of gunpowder and the familiar New York sea breeze, Lynn's feet finally touched solid ground.
This is the Outskirts of New York, the ruins of Eden that were razed to the ground by Wanda's Chaos Magic.
The moment he landed, Lynn immediately pulled out the Dark Gold "Absolute Time Cloaking Device" from his tactical pocket and pressed the activation button hard with his thumb.
Buzz--
An invisible ripple, imperceptible to the naked eye, spread from Lynn to the entire Earth in an instant. The Ancient One's Gaze, Fury's satellite surveillance, and even the causal threads of Higher-Dimensional Deity were completely severed at this moment.
Lynn took a deep breath, just preparing to deal with the two Yandere beside her who might start fighting again at any moment.
But just then, a piercing sonic boom tore through the night sky without warning.
"Boom!"
A heavy Hulkbuster Armor, painted entirely in dark red and gold, crashed into the center of the ruins like a meteorite, carving two deep trenches into the ground. The armor's shoulders popped open, and a dense array of Micro-Armor-Piercing Rounds- piercing rounds locked onto Lynn's forehead.
The visor snapped open with a "click," revealing Tony Stark's bloodshot face, utterly distorted by extreme rage.
"Lynn..." Tony gritted his teeth, his voice booming through the loudspeaker, filled with undisguised, maniacal killing intent, "You think you can get away with this? I've got the Top Secret Hydra footage... Tell me, where are you hiding the Winter Soldier who killed my parents?!"
