It has all been part of Nate's plan to delay Hulk for Peter to deliver a surprise attack. Peter was busy dealing with his lesser ghouls, selecting those that are strong while killing the weak ones. It was while he was doing this did Nate call him back and he quickly ran back to the base.
Luckily enough, he arrived in time before Hulk could do the unthinkable, however, he dashed towards him and swung his two claws, cutting them off before knocking him out to the distance.
The most surprising thing was that all this was done so fast that even someone like Nate couldn't keep up and to the others, it appeared as if Hulk disappeared from his spot and Peter appeared instead, if not because they could see someone been sent flying backwards, they would have thought that was the case.
Nevertheless, Lyon didn't care much and went after Hulk and by the time he caught up with him, Hulk was in a terrible condition. His two hands have been cut off right from his shoulder. On his chest was a clear claw mark that was deep and his intestines were visible as blood was gushing out from it and also his mouth.
Lyon didn't need someone to tell him that Hulk will die any moment from now, but he won't let that happen at least not yet.
Grabbing him on the collar of his clothing, Lyon lifted him and called out for Lynn. Without wasting time, she started to take in the pain and with that, she was exchanging it to heal Hulk and soon his body was back in good health.
It felt strange to Hulk why his body was healing fast and even his two arms has grown back, but he decided to attack Lyon straight away and break out from his grip. He pushed himself forward by kicking the floor but Lyon slammed him onto the ground.
"You want to escape, too bad you can't do that, you should have left when you were given the opportunity, but now, not only are you trapped, you will feel pain at the highest order," Lyon shouted and punched Hulk face, sending him back on the ground.
He then opened his mouth as the acidic spite covered Hulk's body. "Ahhhhh... Ahhh!" Hulk started to shout in pain as the acid started burning his skin, causing more pain to cover the atmosphere Lynn was absorbing it while using them to heal Hulk's body, but it was not enough, or maybe because he was still covered in the spite and they kept on burning his skin even after he is been healed.
"This is not enough, I need you to feel more pain!" Lyon shouted and plugged out two short spikes from his back and stab them into Hulk's eye, blinding him and then kicking his legs, crushing them.
However, regardless of the amount of injury Lyon has inflicted on Hulk, they are being healed and with time, Hulk has already figured out, that it was not his doing that his body was recovering but instead was because of someone else, as for who, he has no idea.
"This is not enough," Lyon muttered to himself as he started thinking of more ways and methods he could use.
"Ple...se," Hulk wanted to say something but he couldn't since he was undergoing a large quantum of pain all around his body. The acidic goo was still on his body and are still burning his body and they were fast to the extent his bones were visible at some point but he would recover from it fast.
"What did you just say? Were you trying to say please, I thought that word does not exist in your vocabulary,"
"I promised you that will inflict tenfold the pain you inflicted on my sister, not only her but to those in this case, I'm going to make sure you don't feel the pain till she can't take it anymore!" shouted and pulled out the two spikes on Hulks eye. His eye started to heal and once again he was able to see but the first thing he saw was not what he expected.
The two spikes were pointed directly into his eye and they were bigger than before, with any slight movement forward, they will pierce his eye.
The two spikes were stabbed into his eye, and this time, Lyon pushed it forward so that touched Hulk's brain and went deep, with this done, it would have been an instant death but for some reason he was alive and this was because of Lynn who though was feeling pleased but sweat due to the amount of pain she was getting.
Her leg gave and she fall to her knees.
'If I continue like this, I need to start sharing the energy,' Lynn thought as multiple green orbs flew out from his body and went into the body of the other.
Seeing this, Nate knows Lynn must have reached her limit and needed to share the energy with everyone currently present, but even with that, She still has plenty left.
Meanwhile, Lyon pulled out the spikes that is now covered in blood. Hulk couldn't even shout as he lay out on the ground but his heart was still beating and his body was trembling like mad.
The spike just touched his brain and this was the most vital part of any living thing, even zombies would die if anything happens to their brains. Because of the damage done, he could not even shout as he lays on the ground.
"Please kill me, this is too much just kill me already," this was all he could mutter as his body trembled. His wounds were healing and soon, he was back to shape with his eyesight restored and other painful things on his body now gone, but he could not muster the courage to get but. His body size has already shrunk back to its natural size.
"No... I will make you suffer," Lyon declined his suggestion and was about to continue but was interrupted.
"Enough, if you continue like this, you might end up losing your sister," Nate interrupted Lyon as he and Lynn with the others approach him.
"How?" He asked not knowing what exactly Nate was saying.
"Never mind, it's enough, kill him already, we don't have much time to waste," Nate urged Lyon to kill Hulk.
"Wait! He is superhuman, why will you kill him, isn't that a waste?" Lynn suddenly said.
"Yeah, but they is no way I'm taking a loser like him into my horde," Nate agreed that was truly a waste to kill a superhuman like that, might force initiate him than before killing Hulk then the system will take his power as a spoiler, but they are something about Hulk that kept irritating Nate the more and that was his slight personality resembles with his father Chris.
"If don't want him, then I can take him for myself," Lynn muttered and placed her hand on Hulk's body.
"What are you doing?" Lyon was quite confused by Lynn's act and so was Nate.
"Doing something only I can do," with her saying that thick dark fog started to surround her as she muttered a few words to Hulk.
"From this day, I curse you with the power of pain, you share stay obey my commands and hurt no one on else it's necessary, if a day comes and you attempt to go against those instructions, you share face an unimaginable pain that will eventually kill you," with those words being said one and for all, the fog gathered around her fist and they went into Hulks body.
Lynn dropped to the floor but was caught by Lyon, on her forehead, both Lyon and Nate could see a small horn stuck out and it glowed in dark light before fading off and disappearing.
"What just happened? " both Nate and Lyon muttered identically.
[Lynn has just finished undergoing her second evolution]
[A new trait has been added to her power]
[Pain-Hex = 1]
