Blood crystal.

While the city of Panama has become chaotic, people using supernatural powers while accomplishing supernatural things were roaming around fighting each other, however, since this fight started, it has always been one side winning and this was Nate's side, his people were pushing the 25500 men sent by the matrix back and while this was happening, it didn't go unnoticed by the matrix.

Green whole once in a while goes into the dark room to have a clear view of what is happening and at one this moment he went inside, and he was coming out with a piece of bad news for his fellow matrix.

"We are losing, they are getting stronger from what I see," he reported back to Mia.

Mia and the others frowned their brown and being to think. "We won't be underestimating him again, the only reason why we are losing to them is because of his horde members that are supporting the others, send our strongest members to deal with them and leave TNT with us, in no time, Nate will be coming for us and we need someone as strong as TNT to deal with him," Mia commanded and Green left to get their strongest men to deal with Nate horde members.

Shortly after the former trusted men of Sin were sent out to fight, they started looking for Nate horde members and the one they called Bird with Serpent located Lyon and choose to attack at the same time.

Lyon seeing two altered humans coming after him didn't panic rather was excited and almost started altering himself also.

The white eagle flew over him and stretched out its leg to land on Lyon's back. Seeing this, Lyon ignored him and only turned his back into that of the centipede making them slimy went the eagle eventually landed on his back, the eagle wasn't able to dig his fingers into Lyons flesh.

Meanwhile, the snake was heading towards him and that was the mean person Lyon was focused on. The anaconda went ahead to recoil its body before thrusting itself forward at Lyon, its mouth was opened and was elastic enough to adjust to a size that it would be able to swallow Lyon in one go.

However, Lyon grabbed the snake's jaw and attempted to break it, but it was just too elastic, by this time, the snake has wrapped its body around Lyon threatening to squeeze, but it the sudden appearance of sharp spikes on his back, the snake was forced to release Lyon.

Lyon meanwhile, was still holding the snake's jaw, the bird was coming towards Lyon once more. Its legs were out again and were ready to grab Lyon. Lyons two hand was still holding the snake and does not want to let go, however, if he wants to block the bird he must let go.

"Do you need some help?" Tony asked, one thing he has learned staying with Lyon was that the latter hate being interrupted in a fight, especially by those he was stronger than.

"No... Stay...away from this, I can take them both myself," Lyon replied and manage to dock the bird's strike, however, the eagle was coming at him again and this time he was forced to do something he didn't want to do.

'This will consume a lot of energy, however, all else I'm planning to kill these two, I don't think there's any other way,' Lyon thought. The snake was still recovering from the spike sting, however, he will recover fast if Lyon let him, but someone at this moment was forcing him to do so, but Lyon still have some tricks he is yet to pull.

When the bird was just about to clash with Lyon again, he suddenly let go of the snake, however, he didn't really let go, rather, he changed the hand that was holding the snake. Out of Lyons abdomen, what seems to be a new set of limbs came out. It was the centipede leg but Lyon was able to make it come out as two pairs of the leg, however, he was not done yet.

At the edge of the leg, they started turning into claws and grabbed the snake by its jaw. Meanwhile, with his hands free, Lyon grabbed the bird by its feather and slammed it right into the ground.

With the bird on the ground, Lyon spites out the glue saliva of the centipede and sticks the bird on the ground. Lyon was trying to be quick with what he was doing since he was consuming a large amount of energy in his body, although he has plenty inside, there is something about the form he was taking that was consuming a large amount of energy.

As Lyon trained with his special altered form that seems to be separate from other altered human beings, he found out that he could use two altered forms at the same time and form some sort of hybrid, however, being in the hybrid form was a lot stronger than normal and by being strong, they also consume a large quantity of energy to power them up.

The problem right now what that Lyon was not just using a hybrid of two animals but multiple animals. One was the porcupine beast, then the centipede, with the wolf claws that he just formed with the extra limb he got from the centipede beast.

Using two beasts was already consuming much, but what about three beasts, eventually, he could see that his energy was going down, however, it was at this moment he felt something going into his body and soon his energy was filled one more.

Looking up, he could see Lynn levitating from the distance as more energy orb was going out from her body and rushing towards them.

'As much as I hate being help out in a fight, I really need those energies, ' Lyon thought and thanked Lynn before focusing on the two altered humans before him.

Without wasting time, he plugged the draining syringe into the snake's body and started draining its DNA forcefully and slowly, it was reverting to its human form.

"What have you done? What did you do too?!" The snake man asked as he couldn't feel his power anymore.

Lyon didn't answer him and grabbed his finger before pulling out the ring, it was impossible to pull the ring off but Lyon ended up pulling the man's middle finger out. He didn't waste time crushing the ring as black smoke came out from it before disappearing.

Meanwhile, the snake was still in shock as he looked at his finger. "Please, don't kill me, I was being controlled by those four boys, I wasn't in my right senses," the man pleaded, and Lyon didn't even bother to look at him and moved to the bird man and drained his altered DNA from him before braking the man's middle finger and set him free from the hands of the matrix.

The man seems to have come to his right sense and also started to plead, but Lyon interrupted him.

"I know you guys are being controlled that's even why I have not crushed your brains, however, I will give you two your powers back but for that, I need you all to move around and set all those you see wearing the matrix ring free, but first, you have to pledge to fight for this horde," Lyon said taking out a red crystal.

It was a crystal that Nate gave to them after privileging them to use territory conquer. It was formed after the base people dropped their blood to Nate and made a pledge.

Nate has made it free access to everyone's inventory, if the crystal falls into the hands of anyone that is not his horde member, it will disappear and return to his inventory.

Soon, the two men agreed and did as Lyon said and their power was given back to them.

[Two altered human has pledged to fight for your territory]

Nate got a notification, but just pushed it aside, of course, he read it, but at this moment, he didn't think much about it since he was busy looking for the matrix.
