Chapter 90 90 The Power Forge Opens in Full Force
Above New York City—
The war had already begun completely.
The Avengers and the Justice League were rushing toward Manhattan from every direction.
Trying to establish a fragile defensive line against the descending alien catastrophe.
But Lynn understood something they did not.
The current battlefield meant nothing.
These initial Chitauri troops were merely expendable cannon fodder.
Disposable scouts used to test Earth's military response.
The true interstellar war had not begun yet.
Rushing out now—
Saving scattered civilians.
Destroying low-level invaders.
Participating in meaningless attrition warfare—
Would only waste energy and expose hidden capabilities prematurely.
Lynn had no interest in becoming a heroic symbol.
He was a doctor.
A businessman.
And now—
A collector of power.
Every action required sufficient return value.
More importantly—
The coming battle might escalate beyond conventional warfare entirely.
Nuclear strikes.
Cosmic entities.
Even intervention from higher-dimensional beings.
Before entering such a battlefield—
Lynn needed absolute certainty.
Absolute survivability.
He turned away from the distant explosions outside the clinic windows.
Then walked calmly toward the deepest underground section beneath Miracle Clinic.
Toward the true forbidden zone.
The place built exclusively for himself.
The countless reputation points accumulated from treating heroes, villains, mutants, gods, and monsters—
Would finally reveal their true purpose tonight.
This time—
Inside the Ability Forge—
Lynn intended to create something unprecedented.
Not another copied ability.
Not another incomplete fusion.
But a truly perfect physical foundation.
A body surpassing ordinary divine species entirely.
Even Lynn himself felt anticipation rise faintly.
…
The deepest level beneath Miracle Clinic resembled less a laboratory—
And more a sealed military bunker.
A circular explosion-proof chamber constructed from layered vibranium, lead alloy, and extraterrestrial materials extorted earlier from Lex Luthor's private facilities.
The chamber isolated:
Radiation.
Kinetic shockwaves.
Electromagnetic pulses.
Energy leakage.
This was Lynn's final sanctuary.
His absolute safe zone.
The heavy alloy doors sealed shut slowly behind him.
Boom.
Complete isolation achieved.
Lynn removed the white coat calmly and tossed it aside.
Beneath the seemingly lean appearance—
Every inch of his body now concealed terrifying explosive power.
Kryptonian biology.
Asgardian physiology.
Mutant regeneration.
Super-soldier evolution.
Countless powers intertwined beneath human skin.
Lynn inhaled deeply.
Then closed his eyes.
Consciousness descended fully into the system interface.
Current Reputation Points:
No hesitation appeared.
"System."
"Activate the Ability Forge."
"And fuse all existing core physical abilities simultaneously."
The command echoed like law itself.

The instant the notification faded—
Crimson warning messages erupted violently afterward.
[WARNING! WARNING!]
[Three High-Dimensional Genetic Systems Detected.]
[Extreme Biological Conflict Identified.]
[Fusion Success Rate: 54%]
[Host Will Experience Catastrophic Cellular Collapse, Gene Reorganization, and Soul-Level Pain During Fusion.]
[Proceed?]
A faint cold smile appeared across Lynn's face.
Pain?
Pain had accompanied him since the very beginning.
"Continue."
The answer carried absolute certainty.
The next moment—
Boom—!!!
Pain exploded.
Not ordinary pain.
Not even biological pain.
It felt as though every atom inside his existence detonated simultaneously.
"Ugh—!"
Even Lynn's iron will could not suppress the muffled groan escaping his throat.
His body collapsed violently onto one knee.
Muscles convulsed uncontrollably.
Blood vessels burst beneath the skin repeatedly.
Inside him—
A war began.
The regenerative madness of Wolverine-derived immortality.
The overwhelming solar dominance of Kryptonian biology.
The ancient divine stability of Asgardian genetics.
Three top-level powers collided directly within his body.
The Undying Body repaired damaged cells frantically—
Only for Kryptonian solar energy to incinerate them instantly afterward.
Meanwhile—
The Asgardian Physique resisted both aggressively.
Like an ancient divine fortress refusing foreign corruption.
Every organ inside Lynn's body exploded and regenerated repeatedly.
Blood vessels ruptured.
Reformed.
Ruptured again.
Bones shattered inch by inch.
Then reconstructed into denser structures immediately afterward.
This was no longer enhancement.
This was forced evolutionary transcendence.
Anyone with weaker willpower would have died instantly.
But Lynn remained conscious.
He grabbed a specially prepared alloy bite rod from beside the operating platform—
Designed specifically for catastrophic neural stress situations—
And forced it between his teeth.
Crack—!!!
The reinforced alloy fractured visibly beneath the force of his bite.
Blood filled his mouth instantly.
Yet Lynn's eyes remained terrifyingly clear.
S-Rank Iron Will activated completely.
Absolute rationality froze his consciousness like eternal ice.
Within the endless agony—
His mind became an unshakable lighthouse.
He could not lose consciousness.
Because only his own intellect—
Enhanced through the combined genius of Batman, Iron Man, and Lex Luthor—
Could forcibly guide these warring genetic systems toward coexistence.
Toward balance.
Toward transcendence.
Time lost all meaning.
Minutes.
Hours.
Perhaps longer.
Eventually—
The suffocating atmosphere of pain began fading gradually.
The violent biological war slowed.
Then stabilized.
Lynn slowly released the broken alloy bite rod from his mouth.
The shattered metal pieces clattered softly against the chamber floor.
In exchange—
A completely unprecedented sensation spread throughout his body.
Warm.
Perfect.
Like a newborn star igniting quietly inside every cell.
An entirely new power had finally been born.
