Chapter 80 An Epic Heart-Piercing Surgery
Inside Lynn's perception—
Everything had become perfectly measurable.
Every vibration.
Every heartbeat.
Every microscopic movement.
Nothing escaped calculation anymore.
The underground fortress no longer resembled a battlefield or emergency ward.
It had transformed into a microscopic Shura field balanced atop death itself.
At the center—
Lynn stood completely motionless.
The dark-gold forceps in his hand remained so steady they looked welded into place.
No tremor.
No hesitation.
Then—
He moved.
Slowly.
Precisely.
The forceps entered Superman's chest through the original kryptonite projectile wound.
No unnecessary force.
No wasted motion.
Only terrifying precision.
The moment the instrument entered the ventricle—
Battlefield Domain synchronized fully with Analysis of All Things.
Inside Lynn's consciousness—
A complete three-dimensional model of Superman's heart formed instantly.
The movement of each cardiac muscle fiber.
The pressure changes inside every chamber.
The exact location of every kryptonite fragment.
Perfectly visible.
There.
The first fragment.
Embedded beside the ventricular valve.
Clip.
Remove.
Withdraw.
The entire sequence flowed smoothly like water.
The first nanoscale kryptonite fragment emerged successfully from Superman's body.
Without even glancing downward—
Lynn flicked the forceps lightly.
The tiny glowing green fragment traced a perfect arc through the air and landed directly inside the radiation-proof lead container held by Wonder Woman.
Ding.
The metallic sound echoed softly.
Yet inside the utterly silent underground fortress—
It sounded almost deafening.
Success.
He had actually done it.
But Lynn's expression never changed.
This was only the beginning.
Second fragment.
Fifth.
Twelfth.
Twenty-eighth.
Time passed minute by minute.
Sweat gradually appeared along Lynn's forehead.
This level of microscopic surgery exceeded even the imagination of ordinary medicine.
A surgeon on Earth performing such operations would already suffer muscular microtremors within minutes due to exhaustion.
But Lynn didn't.
The SS-Rank Undying Body operated continuously beneath the skin.
The incomplete Thor-derived Asgardian Physique reinforced muscle endurance simultaneously.
Fatigued fibers repaired themselves almost instantly.
His body resembled an endlessly functioning machine.
Forty-first fragment.
Fifty-sixth.
Sixty-third.
Seventy-second.
Inside the lead container—
Seventy-two deadly kryptonite fragments now rested silently.
Only one remained.
And the final fragment—
Was the most dangerous.
Analysis of All Things displayed its location clearly.
Embedded at the root of the aortic valve deep inside Superman's left ventricle.
One microscopic mistake—
Even less than a millimeter—
Would tear the valve structure instantly.
Irreversible internal hemorrhaging.
Immediate death.
Lynn inhaled slowly.
Then guided the forceps deeper into the final danger zone.
And at that exact moment—
Disaster struck.
Superman's unconscious body spasmed violently from instinctive pain response.
A terrifying burst of Kryptonian resistance erupted from deep within the biological structure itself.
Boom!!!
The reinforced operating platform shook violently under the force.
The entire superalloy frame nearly collapsed.
Batman and Wonder Woman reacted instantly.
Both used full strength simultaneously to restrain Superman's shoulders and lower body.
Yet even unconscious—
Even dying—
The raw physical strength of a Kryptonian remained horrifying.
The operating table continued shaking violently.
And because of that vibration—
The forceps inside Lynn's hand shifted several fatal millimeters.
A lethal deviation.
"Steady!"
Lynn's voice exploded across the operating room like thunder.
Then—
He made a move so shocking that even the Justice League froze briefly.
Instead of withdrawing the forceps—
Lynn abandoned delicate balance entirely.
His left hand erupted forward suddenly and slammed down against Superman's violently convulsing chest.
Pure force collided directly against Kryptonian resistance.
The pressure wave cracked portions of the operating platform instantly.
Yet—
The spasming body stopped.
Suppressed completely by one hand.
For a split second—
Even Diana's eyes widened visibly.
Because she understood exactly how absurd that feat truly was.
Then—
Lynn's right hand moved.
Fast.
Accurate.
Merciless.
The forceps pierced directly into the constantly shifting death zone.
Clip.
Withdraw.
Ding.
The seventy-third and final kryptonite fragment landed inside the lead container successfully.
Complete silence followed.
Then—
The entire operating room exhaled collectively.
Barry Allen nearly collapsed beside the manual circulation stabilizer.
Even for the Flash—
Maintaining perfect Speed Force synchronization for ten consecutive minutes had pushed his concentration toward the limit.
Fine sweat covered Batman's forehead as well.
The brief wrestling match moments earlier had reminded everyone present of one terrifying fact:
Even dying—
Superman remained Superman.
Meanwhile—
Lynn appeared almost unaffected.
As though the operation had merely been routine work.
He discarded the dark-gold forceps casually into the instrument tray.
Then picked up a prepared syringe containing silver-blue fluid.
A specially engineered regenerative solution.
Constructed using biological principles derived from Wolverine's healing factor, Thor's divine physiology, and nanomedical frameworks adapted from Iron Man technology.
A true high-dimensional biological repair agent.
Without hesitation—
Lynn injected the entire solution directly into Superman's bloodstream.
The effect appeared instantly.
The massive chest wound began closing visibly before everyone's eyes.
Necrotic tissue corroded by kryptonite dissolved rapidly.
Fresh Kryptonian muscle fibers regenerated explosively.
Cellular reconstruction accelerated at terrifying speed.
Within seconds—
The bowl-sized fatal wound shrank into little more than a faint red mark.
At the same moment—
The previously weakening heartbeat monitor erupted sharply.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Strong.
Stable.
The Man of Steel's heart had resumed full function.
Superman—
Had returned from death.
And inside Lynn's consciousness—
The system interface detonated like a supernova.
