A promise till death do us part, I am your world
"Pfft--"
The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh was amplified infinitely in the Main Control Room. There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the chilling sound of bones breaking.
The Scarlet Chaos blade, powerful enough to cleave an aircraft carrier in two, sliced through Lynn's trapezius muscle and lodged itself firmly in the gap between his hard shoulder blades. Violent magical particles raged wildly around the wound, scorching the chapped flesh into a charred black.
The warm liquid, like a burst dam, instantly splashed onto Gwen Stacy's cheeks, which were now almost 70% blurred.
Scalding hot. Salty and fishy.
Gwen Stacy's pupils, which had been bracing for death, suddenly dilated, and her golden eyelashes were completely stained red with Lynn's blood. Drops of blood slid down the shimmering mosaic tiles on her chin, dripping onto the cold Vibranium floor and splashing into shocking blood flowers.
"No..."
A piercing, extremely sharp scream escaped Wanda's throat.
Those Scarlet eyes, devoid of white, instantly lost all madness, replaced by an extreme fear more profound than the collapse of the universe. She abruptly pulled back her right hand, and the enormous Chaos blade instantly disintegrated into a sky full of red light.
Wanda's legs gave way, and she collapsed heavily to her knees amidst the ruins filled with metal debris and molten iron. Her hands, powerful enough to tear apart the Multiverse, trembled like withered leaves in the wind. She covered her mouth tightly, oblivious to the fact that the molten iron had burned through the hem of her nightgown.
She personally beheaded her Deity.
In the Yandere's extremely twisted logic, she could kill everyone in the entire universe for Lynn, but she could never tolerate Lynn suffering even the slightest harm. And now, she has become the perpetrator.
"Lynn... Lynn!"
Gwen Stacy's scream broke the brief silence.
The domineering rules of Chaos Magic forcefully intervened, and Lynn's vital signs plummeted, causing the purple-blue quantum annihilation storm to become briefly disrupted. The pixelated pieces peeling off Gwen Stacy's body were abruptly suspended in mid-air.
She stared at Lynn's face, which had instantly lost all color and turned deathly pale, and desperately tried to plug the horrifying, deep, bone-revealing hole in Lynn's back with her hands. But most of her hands had turned into semi-transparent Data Stream, and blood flowed unimpeded through her palms, pooling on the ground.
"Why did you block it! Are you crazy!" Gwen Stacy's tears mixed with Lynn's blood, smearing her entire face. Her voice was completely distorted by extreme despair and panic, like a young animal driven to the brink of Extremis.
Lynn's vision was beginning to blur.
The terrifying self-healing power granted by the Super-Soldier Serum was taking effect frantically, attempting to repair broken bones and muscles, but the destructive particles left over from the Chaos Magic were constantly destroying the newly formed tissue. The two forces were engaged in a tug-of-war in his back, and the excruciating pain of having his bone marrow shattered and reassembled inch by inch was enough to break the spirit of any tough guy.
But at that moment, a very faint smile appeared on Lynn's lips.
The pain was real.
But everything was within his calculations.
[Warning! Host's vital signs have dropped to a dangerous critical point!]
[Fourth Till Death Do Us Part - Target: Invisible Woman Susan Stone. Loading Progress: 99%...]
The system's red warning flashed frantically on his retina. Lynn knew that his consciousness would soon be forcibly pulled out, and his broken body would fall into a deep coma.
He had to use this last bit of time to pin these two crazy women, who could die together at any moment, to the spot.
"Cough..." Lynn coughed up a mouthful of black blood mixed with pieces of internal organs, the blood splattering onto Gwen Stacy's battle suit.
Ignoring the fatal wound on his back, he forcefully squeezed out the last bit of strength from his body, and his hands, which had been corroded by the rules of higher dimensions, revealing the white finger bones, tightened suddenly.
He Gwen Stacy Gwen's translucent body tightly against his chest.
"Why are you crying..." Lynn's voice was terribly hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against glass, yet it carried an undeniable domineering air.
He lowered his head, his bloodied chin pressing heavily on Gwen Stacy's shoulder, his nose brushing against her earlobe, his warm breath hitting her cold skin.
"Your world... doesn't want you anymore..."
With each word Lynn spoke, more blood gushed from the wound on his back. But his arm around Gwen Stacy remained as tight as a welded iron clamp, not loosening its grip even a millimeter.
"I want."
These two words, as light as a sigh, struck like a heavy hammer, shattering the last line of Defense Line in Gwen Stacy's heart.
Gwen Stacy shuddered violently, biting her lip tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"But I'll get you killed! The elimination mechanism will take you down with it..."
"Shut up." Lynn interrupted her. He turned his head slightly and kissed Gwen's cheek with extreme force, his blood-stained lips pressing against Gwen Stacy. The smell of blood filled the air between them, yet it carried a suffocating madness and deep affection.
"From today onwards, I will be your Anchor."
Lynn stared into Gwen Stacy's completely vacant eyes and said, each word laced with anguish, "Your universe has collapsed. I'll build you a new one."
"I am your world."
Boom!
These words were like a nuclear bomb, detonating in the depths of Gwen Stacy's already crumbling soul.
Her extremely obsessive and insecure Yandere mentality found its ultimate satisfaction and redemption at this moment. Lynn used her life as a bargaining chip to forcibly sever all ties between her and the Earth-1610, completely locking her whole being, her whole heart, and her soul to himself.
Gwen Stacy stopped struggling. She wrapped her arms tightly around Lynn's waist, buried her head in his blood-stained neck, and let out a hysterical wail.
Even if she were to be reduced to ashes in the next second, she would never let go.
[Loading progress: 99.9%...]
Lynn's eyelids felt as heavy as lead. He turned his head with difficulty to look at Wanda, who was kneeling in the ruins a few steps away.
The Scarlet Witch, who possessed Skyfather-level combat power and had been so arrogant just moments before, was now trembling uncontrollably like a child who had done something wrong. She looked at the wound on Lynn's back, wanting to get closer, but overwhelmed by extreme guilt and panic, she couldn't even take a single step.
"Wanda..." Lynn managed to squeeze out two syllables from his throat.
He slowly raised his right hand, which revealed white bone, and hung it in mid-air.
Wanda scrambled over like a madwoman. She dared not touch Lynn's body, fearing that her out-of-control magic would hurt him again. She could only lower her head humbly and carefully press her beautiful face into Lynn's blood-soaked palm.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Lynn... I didn't mean to hurt you... I really didn't mean to..." Wanda murmured incoherently, hot tears falling in large drops onto Lynn's wrist.
Lynn's fingers curled slightly as he gently stroked Wanda's cheek.
"Don't hurt her." Lynn's voice was barely audible as his gaze swept between Wanda and Gwen Stacy. "Wait for me... to wake up."
That sentence was the decisive blow.
For these two extremely love-starved and possessive Yandere, Lynn's serious injury was caused by both of them. Before Lynn wakes up, a strong sense of guilt and protectiveness will forcefully suppress their instinct to tear each other apart.
Not only would they stop fighting, but they would also work together, like mother wolves guarding their food, to protect the mangled body perfectly.
Crisis resolved. The task of "balancing the water" completed.
[Ding! The fourth simulation of Till Death Do Us Part has officially begun!]
The system notification sound exploded in my mind.
A barely perceptible, cold smile curled at the corner of Lynn's lips. He slowly closed his eyes, letting the immense suction force forcibly drag his consciousness into endless darkness.
The hustle and bustle of the Real World, Wanda's cries, and Gwen Stacy's sobs vanished in an instant.
cold.
The biting wind, mixed with ice shards, slapped hard against my face.
Lynn suddenly opened his eyes, and the strong smell of gunpowder and the pungent smell of sulfur instantly filled his nostrils.
Gone are the underground bunkers Outskirts of New York, and gone are the purple-blue Quantum Storm.
What came into view was a scene of utter devastation: collapsed Gothic buildings, burning wreckage of armored vehicles, and dark clouds churning in the sky.
Latvia. The territory of Dr. Doom, the Destroyer.
Lynn looked down at his hands. Instead of bones corroded by higher-dimensional rules, they were covered in a dusty S.H.I.E.L.D. standard black special operations uniform. He also held an empty Glock pistol in his hand.
"Boom--!"
A deafening roar came from not far away.
Lynn quickly looked up.
In the center of the ruined plaza, a hundred meters away, a tall figure wearing a dark green cloak and a cold metal mask hovered in mid-air. Doctor Doom.
Doom's hands were gathering extremely terrifying green magical energy, and the surrounding space rippled under the pressure of this energy.
Directly below Doom, the Fantastic Four's formation had completely collapsed.
Mister Fantastic Reed Richards ' body was forcibly twisted into a bizarre knot by magic, and he lay in a pool of blood, his life hanging in the balance; the Thing was pinned to the wall by several thick metal bars, letting out an angry but powerless roar; the Human Torch Johnny's flames had been completely extinguished, and he lay unconscious on the edge of the ruins.
Only the Invisible Woman, Susan Stone, remains.
This woman, who was always noble and composed, was now kneeling on one knee, her hands desperately supporting a semi-transparent, Invisible Force Field.
Her blonde hair was stuck to her cheeks with sweat and dirt, and blood kept spilling from the corner of her mouth. The once indestructible Invisible Force Field was now covered with spiderweb-like cracks under the bombardment of Doom's devastating green ray.
"Click--"
A crisp cracking sound echoed across the battlefield.
Susan's Force Field is nearing its limit.
"Foolish resistance." The voice beneath Doom's mask was metallic and cold. "Disappear, Miss Storm."
The moment he finished speaking, the green rays in Doom's hands suddenly doubled in size, slamming into the shattering shield with an overwhelming force capable of Oblivion everything.
Susan closed her eyes in despair. Her energy was completely depleted, and she could only await death.
In that fraction of a second, as the Force Field completely shattered and the green ray was about to engulf Susan.
A chilling glint flashed in Lynn's eyes.
"System, Substitute Death Skill activated."
His foot slammed into the stone beneath him, shattering it. He transformed into a black lightning bolt, hurtling straight toward the Destruction Ray.
