The sentries opened their eyes simultaneously, their crimson pupils locking onto Lorna.

Lorna's fingertips trembled slightly with rage, and the metallic storm swirled around her even more violently.

Chapter 146 What a joke!

The Sentinel robots with Thanos's face slowly emerged from the incubation chamber, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Ron, take the children and go first. Her voice was terrifyingly low, and the surrounding air hummed as the magnetic field distorted.

Are you kidding me? Ron pulled the blade from Trask's shoulder, and his black suit quickly reformed into battle mode. I had no intention of—

"This is an order!" Lorna swung her hand sharply, and an invisible force propelled Ron and the two children toward the exit. They needed the protection of the Dark Body to pass through the electromagnetic barrier!

Juggernaut had broken free of some of his restraints, his vibranium armor screeching as he grinned: "That little girl's got guts!" He sneered as he snapped the last steel bar, but sadly, it would soon become a sliced ​​specimen in Dr. 13's lab!

As the twelve Sentinels with Magneto's faces raised their hands simultaneously, Lorna immediately felt her magnetic field control being disrupted—these machines could actually mimic Thanos's abilities!

"You think cloning a face means you can copy power?" Lorna sneered, her green hair swirling wildly in the magnetic field. She ripped her hands apart violently, tearing the entire factory's metal structure apart as if shattered by an invisible giant hand, turning it into thousands of sharp blades.

But the sentinels reacted even faster. They formed a perfect defensive formation, their liquid metal shells flowing and shifting to absorb and fuse all the incoming metal.

"Analysis complete." The lead sentry said in a mechanical voice, which carried an eerily familiar quality. Target ability rating: Omega-level mutant; threat level: extremely high.

Trask clutched his wounded shoulder, but his face was contorted with manic joy: "See? They're learning! Evolving every second!" He pressed another button on his wristwatch, activating the gene synchronization program!

The sentinels' metal shells suddenly glowed red, and Lorna felt a sharp pain—they were actually extracting her mutant genes in reverse!

Ah—! She knelt on one knee, the metal ring on her glove turning red and hot from the energy overload.

Seeing this, Ron immediately turned back, his suit unleashing a burst of eerie blue flames as he charged toward the nearest sentry at incredible speed. His right arm transformed into a long, black blade, slashing viciously at the machine's neck.

"Don't come any closer!" Lorna shouted, but it was too late.

The three sentries turned simultaneously, their eyes flashing a blinding red light. Ron's blade abruptly stopped half a meter from its target—he was frozen in mid-air.

"Xuanming Body gene sample confirmed." The sentry said mechanically, "Begin collection."

Ron's suit sounded an alarm, and the outer shell began to twist unnaturally. He roared in pain as black matter was forcibly ripped out from the gaps in the suit.

No! Lorna forced herself to stand up despite the excruciating pain, clasping her hands together abruptly. A pipeline 240 meters underground suddenly burst, spewing out tens of tons of fuel oil, which, under her precise control, formed an insulating barrier.

Taking advantage of the brief delay of the sentries, she rushed to Ron's side and grabbed his arm: Hold on!

They... are extracting the Xuanming Body... Ron's face turned pale. Hurry... these monsters...

Lorna bit her lip, the taste of blood keeping her awake. She stared at the approaching sentries, a resolute smile suddenly appearing on her face: "My father taught me a technique... I've never dared to try it."

She placed her hand on Ron's chest, adjusting her magnetic field frequency to resonate with Xuanming's body: "It might hurt a little."

Chapter 147 Immune to any of your attacks!

Wait, what are you going to do?

Before she finished speaking, Lorna unleashed her full power. A dazzling green light erupted from the two of them, instantly vaporizing all the metal in the factory and creating an absolute domain.

The sentinels were forced back by the force, but they quickly adjusted their posture and began to adapt to the new energy frequency.

It's no use... Trask laughed wildly in the distance, "The Sentinels will evolve to be immune to any of your attacks!"

Lorna ignored her, focusing intently on maintaining the magnetic field. Ron suddenly noticed his suit undergoing a transformation—green patterns appeared on its black surface, as if some kind of symbiotic fusion was taking place.

"Are you making us...merge?" he asked in shock.

"It's not merging," Lorna said breathlessly, "it's resonance."

As the last ray of green light merged into his battle suit, Ron felt an unprecedented surge of power coursing through his body. His vision suddenly became incredibly clear, and he could even see the lines of the surrounding magnetic field.

This feels...so strange.

The Xuanming Body can contain any energy. Lorna released her grip; "Now you temporarily possess my power."

The Sentinels had regrouped, their shells now a dark green, clearly having absorbed the energy of the attack. But this time, as they attempted to regain control of the metal, Ron waved his hand, and all the metal fragments froze in mid-air.

That's interesting. He stretched his new arms; now we're two against twelve.

Lorna wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth: "No, I'll hold them off. You go and destroy the control core." She pointed to the underground facility; the main control terminal must be there.

You can't handle this alone—

"I, Thanos, once took on an entire army single-handedly." Lorna gave a defiant smile. "Now it's my turn."

The Sentinels launched a general offensive, displaying a variety of mutant abilities—some spewed flames from their hands, some manipulated gravity fields, and one even had the ability to teleport short distances.

Lorna took a deep breath and plunged her hands into the ground. The foundation of the entire factory began to shake, and she forcibly extracted the metal veins buried underground, which condensed into twelve enormous green light blades in the air.

"Come on, imposters!" she roared as she charged forward.

Knowing time was of the essence, Ron activated the leg thrusters of his suit at full power and charged towards the underground facility. Two Sentinels attempted to intercept him, but he used his newly acquired abilities to dismantle them into parts.

"Sorry, Lao Wan," he muttered as he walked through the passage, "your daughter is even crazier than you were back then."

The underground control room was even larger than he had imagined, with a huge transparent culture tank standing in the center. When Ron saw what was inside, he gasped—it was a complete human brain, immersed in a green liquid, with countless electrodes attached to its surface.

"It's finally here." A voice suddenly rang out. Ron turned around and saw Trask appear in front of the control panel (or something like that), holding a red button in his hand. "Do you know what this is?" he thought. "Magneto's brain—the last gift I preserved from his corpse."

Ron's muscles taut beneath his suit: You're a complete freak.

Science requires sacrifice. Trask stroked the culture vessel with fervor; his brain was a perfect quantum computer, the core control unit of all Sentinels. As long as it existed, the Sentinels would never cease evolving!

Chapter 148: Quick Decision

The ground suddenly shook violently, and dust fell from the ceiling.

The battle above has clearly entered a heated phase.

Lorna won't last much longer. Ron calmly analyzed the situation; a swift victory was necessary.

"There's nothing you can do," Trask said smugly. "As soon as I press this button, all the Sentinels will go into kill mode and prioritize extracting your genetic samples."

Ron suddenly laughed: Do you know why the Xuanming Body is called a living black hole?

Before Trask could react, Ron's suit suddenly unfolded completely, transforming into a massive black membrane that instantly enveloped the entire control room. All light and sound were swallowed up, leaving only absolute darkness.

Because... Ron's voice came from all directions, we can create absolute nothingness.

Trask's terrified screams and the sound of shattering glass echoed from the darkness. When the darkness returned, the control room was a scene of utter chaos. The incubation tank was completely pulverized, Magneto's brain tissue was scattered all over the floor, and all the instruments were sparking.

Ron returned to human form, his face pale but his eyes resolute: Rest in peace, Magneto.

The ground shook violently again, this time accompanied by a series of explosions. Ron turned and rushed towards the exit: Lorna!

When he emerged from underground, the sight before him froze him in place—Lorna hovered in mid-air, surrounded by a storm of metal, while her opponents consisted of only five Sentinels. But most shockingly, a green diamond-shaped mark appeared in the center of her forehead, and her eyes had completely transformed into energy forms.

That's... a mutant's second awakening? Ron murmured incredulously.

The remaining Sentinels seemed to sense the danger as well. They quickly gathered together and formed a huge metal giant with Magneto's face still on its face.

The target gene mutation exceeded expectations. The giant roared and initiated the final elimination protocol.

Lorna did not answer. She simply raised her hand, a simple gesture that triggered a spatial distortion (BDFF). The giant composed of the five Sentinels suddenly began to disintegrate, not by external force, but by the very atoms that made them up.

This is impossible... Trask, who had somehow climbed onto the ruins, witnessed this scene with her face covered in blood. She was manipulating the strong interaction... This was beyond the scope of mutant abilities.

As the last Sentinel crumbled to dust, Lorna slowly descended. She looked at Ron, the green light in her eyes fading: Is it over?

It was over. Ron rushed forward to support her as she swayed. The children were safe, the Juggernaut had escaped, and Trask...

He turned to look in the direction of the control freak doctor, only to find a pool of blood—Trask had disappeared sometime earlier.

Never mind, it's not important. Lorna smiled weakly. All I want to do right now is sleep.

"Don't sleep here!" Ron quickly grabbed her; we had to leave before the military arrived.

Ron.

Ok?

I think I just heard Thanos's voice.

Ron paused for a moment, then looked at the remains of the sentries: "Perhaps he's been watching you all along."

The roar of a helicopter echoed in the distance. Ron scooped up Lorna, his battle suit covering him once more: "Hold on tight, Miss. Don't throw up on me this time."

As a black lightning bolt streaked across the sky, the abandoned chemical plant fell silent once more, leaving only the mechanical wreckage bearing Magneto's face, gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Chapter 149 Discovery of Mutant Larvae

Three hundred meters from the abandoned chemical plant, in a grove of trees, two small, thin figures were shivering behind a tree trunk.

Thirteen-year-old Tommy hugged his younger sister Wendy tightly, covering her mouth with his hand to stop her from crying out.

They could feel the ground trembling beneath their feet, and the occasional bursts of green light in the distance stretched the shadows of the trees, making them appear longer and shorter.

Uncle Ron said... no matter what happens, never look back... Tommy's voice was hoarse, typical of someone going through puberty. He stared at the black bracelet on his wrist—a separate part of the Xuanming Body Suit that could form a protective shield in times of crisis.

Wendy suddenly widened her eyes, and Tommy followed her gaze, instantly feeling a chill run down his spine.

Three Sentinels were approaching them through the woods, the mechanical monsters making a sickening metallic scraping sound as they walked, and Thanos's electronic eyes were flashing red.
