31 CHAPTER 31

With Yuri's action, the Ghostfreak's body quickly underwent a transformation, transitioning from an intangible form back into a solid entity.

His skin turned crimson red, and his entire body grew several times in size, reaching a height of three meters six, surpassing Girder.

Four Arms' physique closely resembled a human body, except with an additional pair of arms and eyes. His entire body was filled with strong muscles, giving him a formidable appearance.

Four Arms belongs to a alien race called Tetramand, known for their combat prowess and love for battle. They worship strength, and their greatest talent lies in their immense physical power. They can throw objects from the ground into the atmosphere and leap to heights equivalent to a seven-story building.

With age and relentless training, the strength of Tetramands only continues to increase.

As Yuri transformed into Four Arms, he felt the abundant power surging within him, knowing that he could easily knock out a man with a single, casual punch.

"Girder! Look over here!"

Yuri shouted, immediately capturing Girder's attention.

But even before Yuri spoke, Girder had already noticed him. It's hard not to notice a muscle-bound giant standing at three meters six with four arms and four eyes.

"You and these people are in cahoots? You're all liars!

*Thump*

*Thump*

Girder roared and charged towards Yuri, his steps loudly resounding.

"They promised to cure me, but they deceived me into this prison! I'll kill all of you!"

*Boom*

Yuri extended his four arms, blocking Girder's charge.

*Boom!*

Suddenly, a shockwave emanated from the impact, creating a small-scale shockwave that spread around the two of them.

Some of the air even flew into nearby cell windows.

"Hey! You blew my face off!"

In Cell 447, a middle-aged man with a large pompadour hairstyle was leaning against the window, discontentedly shouting.

The skin on the upper right side of his face had somehow lifted, starting from the right side of his nose and extending to his right ear. The chunk of skin, including the area around his eye and eyebrow, was now pressed against his forehead, exposing a large area of flesh.

In Cell 733, the cell of an old bald-headed inmate, an elderly man with a white beard and V-shaped sunglasses, was meditating in front of a circle of candles arranged in the shape of a lightning bolt. When the gust of wind blew in, he carefully protected the candle flame from being extinguished.

In Cell 624, the cell of Magenta, a young and beautiful blond woman was squatting in a corner, talking to herself in alternating tones, sometimes sinister and sometimes gentle.

"Seems like something is happening outside. I can sense the weakening of the suppressive collar. It's a good opportunity to escape!"

"No, shut up! I can't escape. I've hurt so many people; I must atone..."

In Cell 688, the cell of the Doctor Alchemy, Dr. Desmond, with his face concealed beneath a hood, was attentively reading a notebook. Even when a gust of wind made his hood rustle, he didn't stop reading, as if the noise from the outside had no impact on him.

Above the corridor, Girder exerted all his strength, trying to knock down the red behemoth in front of him.

Yuri refused to back down, exerting force with his four arms and pushing off the ground with both feet, stabilizing his position.

"I need you to go back to your cell!" Yuri said, while holding his ground against Girder, kindly advising him.

"Do you know what it feels like for your body to rust bit by bit? I'll never go back to that cramped space again!"

Who knew that Girder suddenly went mad and quickly moved away, throwing a punch towards Yuri's head.

There was a loud crack, but Yuri's head remained unaffected. Girder hand stopped just as it reached the chin of the Four Arms.

"Is that all?"

Yuri looked down on Girder from a higher position.

"You don't even have the strength to hit someone, and yet you're trying to escape like others?"

Yuri clenched his four fists, raised them above his head, and smashed them forcefully towards Girder's face.

*Bang*

With a loud thud, Girder's nose visibly sank in, and rusty screws, already corroded, oozed out from his nostrils.

"I don't know what it feels like for a body to rust, but I know that rusting iron becomes brittle."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yuri immediately reached out and grabbed Girder's hands with one pair of his arms, while the other pair gripped the guy's shoulders and pulled outward with force.

"What are you trying to do!"

Girder tried to break free from Yuri's restraint, but his rusted body was far weaker than it used to be, and he couldn't match the powerful strength of Four Arms.

A tearing pain struck from his shoulders. Although Girder's body had turned into steel, his human senses from when he was still a human remained intact.

To the Four Arms, the rusted steel body was no different from brittle wood. It didn't take much effort to pull Girder's arms down.

The connection between the arms and the body kept shedding parts, like blood flowing uncontrollably from a severed limb.

However, Girder was different from an ordinary person. As long as his brain wasn't crushed to powder, even if his body was dismantled into a pile of scrap iron, he wouldn't die.

As long as someone helps him put his body back together, Girder can resurrect indefinitely, and if replaced with fresh steel, he can even upgrade.

Therefore, Yuri had no psychological burden for disabling Girder's arms.

"What the fuck! You fucking tore off my hands, you fucking red-skinned monster!"

The excruciating pain of losing his arms made Girder curse incessantly, trying to alleviate some of the agony.

Yuri furrowed his brow. He had initially thought of just locking Girder up again and be done with it, but this guy dared to insult him?

So with him being as petty as he can be.

"Prepare yourself."

He dismantled Girder's legs as well, turning him into a mere stump.

Then, amidst Girder's wails and roars of anger, Yuri threw his body into his designated cell, while leaving his limbs outside.

Once the situation in the prison settled, prison guards would help reconnect Girder's limbs.

Just as Yuri closed the door to Girder's cell, the Flash also arrived outside Iron Heights Penitentiary.

Wally circled around outside but couldn't find any entrance to get in.

He attempted to vibrate his body's molecules to pass through the outer wall but failed.

There was another hidden layer of wall within the outer wall of the Penitentiary, and this hidden wall's structure constantly underwent unpredictable changes that couldn't be penetrated with a fixed vibration frequency.

Clearly, this wall was designed to block metahumans like Flash, who can vibrate their own molecules.

"I remember Pied Piper mentioning that there was a drainpipe before the reconstruction of Iron Heights, that could lead to the lower levels of it. I wonder if it's still accessible now..."

In a blink of an eye, Wally searched through all the drainpipes within a few miles, and eventually, he found the one that Pied Piper mentioned.

When Wally reached below Iron Heights, a concrete wall blocked his path.

Wally smiled slightly.

He knew he had found the right way.

This concrete wall didn't have any additional mechanisms, or rather, the mechanisms here couldn't stop Wally.

Wally quickly passed through the seven to eight-meter-thick concrete and entered the pipeline system of Iron Heights Penitentiary.

Meanwhile, on the second underground floor, in Cell 624, Magenta vaguely sensed something.

"Is that you, Wally? My love... I..."

"I'm going to kill you..."
