Boom!
Luke instantly teleported behind Jason and slammed the Chidori straight into the area of his back near the chest.
Violent lightning tore relentlessly through Jason's exterior, the stench of burning flesh filling the air.
Even someone as terrifyingly resilient as Jason found his steel-like defense completely meaningless in the face of Chidori.
Under normal circumstances, Jason would have been dead for sure.
However, as the Chidori continued to drill inward, trying to destroy his core—his heart—All the lightning suddenly seemed to plunge into a black hole, instantly absorbed by some invisible pulling force.
The flashing lightning vanished in an instant.
"Something's off!"
Luke immediately sensed something was wrong, withdrew his hand, and flashed away.
Jason swung his machete backward in a violent arc, nearly losing his balance from the force.
At that moment, everyone clearly saw it.
A massive hole had been blown open in Jason's back near his chest.
And within that cavity...
Was another layer of dark, pitch-black metal.
"That damn bastard! If I ever find out who equipped Jason with Vibranium, I'll make him understand why the flowers in Demon Slayer and Tokyo Ghoul are so red!"
Luke's expression was grim.
He was certain that what had just absorbed the lightning was Vibranium—one of the three major metals in the Marvel Universe.
Only that substance could absorb external energy so completely.
At this point in time, even a vengeful spirit like Jason was running around with high-tech equipment—it was utterly ridiculous.
More importantly.. Vibranium almost never circulated outside the Marvel Universe.
If Jason had Vibranium embedded in him, then there was a very high chance he also possessed adamantium.
Jason was already resistant to ordinary lightning and fire.
With this on top of that, most conventional fire- and lightning-based abilities were effectively rendered useless.
"What's Vibranium?" Madison asked, startled.
"It's a special .. um ..sound-absorbing metal. While providing extremely strong defense, it can also absorb kinetic energy, heat, and other forms of energy."
"Captain America's shield contains a portion of this metal—that's why he can stand in the middle of a storm of bullets without being affected."
Luke said this calmly. At that moment, Tommy didn't have time to be shocked and immediately pulled the trigger.
Marksmanship honed through decades of ruthless training finally erupted—every shot struck Jason squarely in the chest.
And yet, it had absolutely no effect.
"Don't bother. At this point, even if you were using a Gatling gun or carrying a rocket launcher, you'd just be tickling him."
"You know Wolverine, right? To a certain extent, Jason is even tougher than Wolverine now!"
Luke swiftly changed his combat approach. He clenched both fists, and his entire body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of dazzling golden light.
A holy power welled up from his heart. That warm presence dispelled fear and anxiety from everyone nearby—even Maria felt a rare surge of courage.
"Holy Light."
Luke spoke softly.
A sphere of Holy Light, radiant like the sun itself, transformed into a blazing beam and slammed straight into Jason.
The scorching radiance carried a divine attribute. This power—priceless healing energy to ordinary beings—was the most terrifying force in the world to an evil spirit.
Jason's movements instantly slowed. Thick streams of black mist erupted from his body, spiraling upward before being burned away and dispersed by the Holy Light.
Holy Light was a sacred power from the Warcraft world, embodying divine attributes and possessing overwhelming suppression against darkness.
It could be used for healing, defense—such as Sacred Shield—and offense alike.
It was an extremely versatile power.
Although Jason did not belong to the Warcraft worldview, dark attributes were universal, and he was clearly heavily restrained by Holy Light.
However, perhaps due to repeated modifications and continual evolution, faint, agonized wails of the soul escaped from Jason—yet he still refused to die.
Bathed in Holy Light, Jason continued to advance with heavy, unyielding steps, closing in on Luke one stride at a time.
Originally, Jason had treated his longtime nemesis, Tommy, as his primary target.
But Luke's relentless output had completely drawn his aggro.
At that moment..
Under the continuous scorching of Holy Light, the remaining flesh on Jason's exterior was completely burned away, exposing the dark, pitch-black metal body beneath.
On his chest, Luke saw a familiar emblem—the octopus-shaped skull.
"Fuck… HYDRA again?!"
Luke was momentarily speechless. How was it possible to run into HYDRA everywhere?
They truly lived up to their reputation as the Marvel Universe's most dedicated troublemakers.
They never did anything decent, spending every day plotting evil research and twisted schemes.
Now they had secretly turned a serial killer into a technological evil spirit.
An immortality cheat stacked with a tech cheat—were they seriously not worried about Jason completely losing control?
Since things had already reached this point, Luke had no time to bother with HYDRA.
Telekinesis manifested as an invisible giant hand, barely managing to restrain Jason in place.
Jason wasn't just boosted by technology—he also possessed terrifying physical strength for unknown reasons.
Even with Telekinesis pushed to its limit, Luke could only barely hold him back.
"Tommy, do you have a plan?"
When it came to dealing with Jason, Tommy was the true expert.
Maybe he could offer a viable solution.
"I originally had eight contingency plans," Tommy admitted awkwardly, "but looking at this situation… none of them are likely to work."
Even this longtime bane of Jason had to admit—the situation was extremely troublesome.
"Luke, what are you doing?"
Hearing Madison's puzzled voice, Tommy turned to look.
He saw Luke gazing up at the sky, his right hand raised high, as if summoning something.
"What are you doing?" Tommy asked sharply.
Luke's expression was grave. "Conventional methods no longer work on Jason. Against this kind of cheating evil spirit, we have to go all in."
"I'll hold him for now. Remember to drive as far away as possible afterward. I'm going to summon a meteor and level Crystal Lake."
Luke had already replaced Chidori with the Geo Archon's ultimate move—Starfall.
In games, Starfall's damage might not seem impressive, but in reality, it was a genuine meteorite strike.
The actual destructive effect depended entirely on how much energy was released.
With Luke's current energy output, he could obliterate at least several city blocks—if not an entire modern city.
Granted, with Vibranium protection, Jason was immune to more than ninety-nine percent of conventional abilities.
But Luke firmly believed one thing.. As long as the numbers were high enough, no problem remained unsolvable!
After all…
Could Jason withstand hundreds of thousands of degrees of heat?
No problem—then I'll just raise it to millions, or even tens of millions of degrees!
Once fully unleashed, Starfall would be far more destructive than the original Little Boy.
Even with a Vibranium body, could you really withstand the core blast zone of a weapon several times stronger than Little Boy?
???
Tommy's face turned pale.
When you put it that way, one really has to wonder—who exactly is the villain here?
Jason just wants to kill a handful of people, but you're planning biological annihilation!
Tommy hurriedly said, "Wait! Calm down, don't be reckless! Impulsiveness is the devil!"
"Right now, the only option is to find a way to lure him into Crystal Lake. There's a special force there that can continue to seal Jason."
Luke shook his head. "No. That only treats the symptoms, not the cause. HYDRA will definitely find another chance to release him."
"I'd rather end this once and for all—grind Jason down to the atomic level. That's the safest option."
Looking at the entire Friday the 13th series, although Jason is described as immortal, that immortality is actually limited.
After his body is destroyed, his heart can only be restored to peak condition through someone who shares Jason's bloodline.
But if he were reduced to an atomic state..?
Jason isn't Freddy. He can't resurrect himself through ordinary means.
"But this is New York!"
Tommy pleaded desperately, grabbing Luke's arm.
"But this is the suburbs."
"But Crystal Lake Town is nearby!"
"I know. I'll do my best to minimize the impact. But you understand—when dealing with an evil spirit like Jason, you have to finish it in one strike. Any hesitation could let him turn the tables."
Luke's resolve didn't waver in the slightest.
Jason was dying today—he said it, and not even the devil himself could stop it.
Since he was already here, if he went back with only 100 Anomaly Points… wouldn't that be a wasted trip?
Madison suggested, "Maybe we can use Telekinesis to move Jason to a more secluded area first."
Tommy nodded vigorously. "That makes sense! I have a more compromise-oriented plan. North of Crystal Lake is a stretch of primeval forest. There's no one there—it's the best place to get rid of Jason."
Meeting their expectant gazes, Luke nodded.
Soon after, the group worked together to bind Jason with heavy chains, fastening him to the back of a pickup truck and driving off, dragging him the entire way.
Once Jason was brought to the destination, Luke instinctively gathered geo-aspected power.
As the vast majority of energy in his body was instantly drained, the sky darkened at once.
Above what had moments ago been a clear sky, a colossal meteor—hundreds of meters in diameter—came tearing through the heavens, trailing blazing flames as it hurtled toward their location at terrifying speed.
"What the fuck—you're actually serious?!"
Tommy's face went blank before realization struck him. "Wait! We haven't left yet!"
Luke's face had turned slightly pale. He raised a hand, and a blue circle of light spread out beneath his feet.
"Hold on a little longer."
As he spoke, Luke moved quickly, dragging massive nearby boulders around Jason, stacking them together into a crude stone cage.
Once all of that was finished, the teleportation spell completed as well.
As their vision blurred, Luke—along with Madison and the others—reappeared at the dilapidated gas station they had passed on the way to Crystal Lake.
And there, they unexpectedly ran into Yulinka and her mother, who were hastily driving away.
Both of them stared wide-eyed at Luke and the others, who had appeared out of nowhere.
Just then—
The meteor descended.
BoOOOOOom!!!
