American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

467. Storm and Tempest.

In the corridor, Lamplighter extended his hands, no longer needing a lighter. At this point, he could release flames at will.

Feeling the intense heat rising from within his body, Lamplighter concentrated it into his hands and released it in a sudden burst.

Boom!

The teal flames surged, instantly engulfing the entire corridor. The powerful blaze even caused the surrounding walls and floor to crack and collapse.

The charred remains of bodies and severed limbs on the floor were scorched further, releasing a pungent smell.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

As the target of Lamplighter's attack, Stormfront reacted swiftly. She had already sensed something was wrong, but she hadn't made up her mind yet, so she decided to test Lamplighter.

Unexpectedly, Lamplighter directly attacked her. Stormfront immediately began her counterattack, her hands crackling with lightning, preventing the flames from advancing even an inch.

But Stormfront also knew she couldn't maintain this indefinitely. With the intensity of the flames, she wouldn't last long. If this continued, she'd be roasted alive.

With this thought in mind, Stormfront steeled herself. She spread her hands, and purple lightning instantly tore through the flames, splitting them in half. The lightning serpents raged through the area, turning the already crumbling walls into rubble.

Seizing the opportunity, Stormfront took a step and charged directly at Lamplighter.

Lamplighter's face changed when he saw Stormfront getting closer. He didn't dare be careless and immediately threw a series of fiery punches toward her.

Bang! Bang! Crack!

Stormfront broke through the flames, half of her hair singed, but she had no time to worry about that. All she cared about was quickly eliminating this damned traitor.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged over a dozen blows. Stormfront found the perfect opportunity, landing a punch to Lamplighter's abdomen, then performing a shoulder throw that sent him flying.

"I thought I was the only one who kept their strength, Lamplighter. I've underestimated you all these years. I didn't realize you had such terrifying combat power."

Rubbing her wrist, Stormfront looked at the burn on her skin, her eyes filled with madness.

"Damn it. I knew Canadians can't be trusted. I don't know why you're doing this, but don't worry. I have plenty of time to make you talk."

With a heavy thud, Lamplighter hit the ground, coughing up blood. He realized that although his body had been enhanced to withstand bullets or armor-piercing rounds, he still couldn't compete with Stormfront's superhuman strength.

However, he was still amazed. Based on his previous combat abilities, Stormfront's earlier attack should have pierced straight through his abdomen.

Struggling to rise, Lamplighter wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"You'll die here today. Who will be the one to pry open my mouth then?"

Upon hearing this, Stormfront let out a furious roar, transforming into a bolt of lightning and charging toward Lamplighter.

Feeling the intense wind pressure, Lamplighter quickly rolled to the side. The next moment, his previous position was hit by Stormfront, creating a deep crater in the ground and sending shards of rock flying.

Having missed, Stormfront was not about to let Lamplighter off. She angrily lifted her right leg and stomped it into the ground.

The next second, a purple lightning bolt, as thick as an arm, erupted from the ground, twisting like a snake.

Before Lamplighter could stabilize himself, the shockwave sent him flying, crashing through the back wall and into the room beyond.

"You might be hiding some power, you might have some unknown little secret,"

Stormfront took a step forward, her hands morphing into claws. Powerful lightning gathered around her, exuding terrifying pressure.

"But what makes you think you can defeat me because of that?"

Feeling the searing pain in her hands and head, Stormfront's anger surged.

She had originally planned to find an opportunity to join the Seven, but now, because of this worthless Lamplighter, her hair was burned. With this appearance, she couldn't possibly show her face to the public.

Anyone who interferes with her plans must die, especially when this guy has unleashed so many superpowered individuals. If the situation here were to be exposed to outsiders, it wouldn't just be her— the entire Vought Group would suffer a massive blow.

So, for now, she had to quickly subdue Lamplighter and find a way to extract useful information from him.

Stormfront didn't believe that Lamplighter had suddenly turned traitor. He must have been manipulated by someone or some force. Perhaps when he joined the Seven, he infiltrated as a spy.

This could also explain why Lamplighter had unleashed such terrifying power, as he had always been an undercover agent placed by an outside enemy within the Vought Group. Naturally, he would never reveal his true strength.

"You disgusting spy, how dare you infiltrate the Vought Group for so long!"

Stormfront gritted her teeth, the murderous intent in her eyes almost turning tangible.

However, just then, Stormfront felt a wave of intense heat rush toward her. At the same time, the temperature around her began to rise, feeling like a sauna.

A flash of danger surged in her mind, and Stormfront sensed something was wrong.

She stopped in her tracks, focusing her gaze and seeing, amidst the rubble, a flame slowly rising. It shaped itself into a humanoid figure made of raging fire.

The intense heat surged outward, and the air around the flame man began to distort and ripple violently, as if his high temperature could burn through space itself.

"Shit!"

Stormfront's face froze, a hint of shock in her brows.

She never expected Lamplighter's power to be this horrifying. She had thought it was ridiculous enough that he could start fires without a lighter, but now he had turned himself into living flame. How was she supposed to fight this?

If it had been before, Stormfront could rely on close combat to limit and subdue him. Though there was a chance of getting burned, she could endure it as long as she could control Lamplighter.

But now, with flames covering his entire body, her biggest advantage was gone. Stormfront wasn't surprised that if she engaged him in close combat, she would be burned to a crisp before even landing a blow.

She couldn't guarantee whether her purple lightning or his teal flames were stronger, and at that moment, Stormfront began to feel like retreating.

Crossing her arms, she gathered all her energy and suddenly released it forward. In an instant, purple lightning surged wildly, engulfing everything in front of her.

The entire corridor trembled, and everything around her shattered under the intense thunder.

After making this attack, Stormfront didn't hesitate. She turned and smashed through the wall, leaping into the air, flying toward the horizon.

Now that she had learned of Lamplighter's power, Stormfront just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. She admitted she had underestimated him or perhaps overestimated her own strength, which had led to her being caught off guard.

If she had brought the Seven with her, Stormfront didn't believe Lamplighter would have posed any serious threat.

With that thought, Stormfront accelerated, eager to find backup to deal with Lamplighter.

As she was moving at full speed, a man suddenly appeared in the sky ahead.

"What the fuck?!"

Stormfront furrowed her brow, unable to process what was happening.

Looking closely, she saw the man floating midair. When she noticed him, he also turned his gaze toward her. What startled Stormfront was that his eyes were completely white!

The next moment, the sky above her changed suddenly. Thick black clouds gathered rapidly.

"Damn it!"

Stormfront's heart raced, but before she could react, a bolt of lightning, as thick as a barrel, ripped through the dark clouds, consuming her whole.

The thunder, like divine punishment, illuminated the ground as Stormfront, engulfed by the terrifying strike, plummeted toward the earth, her body trailing black smoke.
