758: Chapter 758 Lorna

After Clarissa returned home, she brewed herself a cup of tea and sat in the living room, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

Clarissa quietly savored this tranquility; meanwhile, her Cultivation never ceased as she continued to comprehend the Sword Domain.

The Stellar Sword Domain was still being continuously perfected.

Life like this was quite comfortable.

Of course, Clarissa had not forgotten her mission: to live for God!

However, since God had not given her any "instructions," she could only wait on standby.

Moreover, after killing for an unknown number of days in Ono World, she was a bit weary and needed to enjoy life for a while.

"Huh?" Clarissa suddenly noticed something, her eyebrows arching.

Southwest suburbs of Atlanta, an abandoned industrial zone.

Lorna Dane panted heavily as she hid among the ruins, fear in her eyes and her heart filled with confusion and unease.

There were three others with her.

Marcos Diaz (Eclipse) was currently bleeding from a gunshot wound to his left shoulder. He faintly protected Lorna; the two seemed closer than the others, yet not quite that intimate.

It was a state of being more than friends but less than lovers.

They weren't even a couple yet?

Besides them, there was someone who looked much more steady and was likely the strongest among them—their field commander, Thunderbird / John Proudstar.

The last one was Blink / Clarice Fong, who had just been rescued.

She was currently in a terrible state, terrified and appearing to be on the verge of a mental breakdown.

The scene was incredibly chaotic, with the Sentinel Task Force surrounding them and advancing from the outside.

In summary:

Thunderbird was commanding the retreat.

Eclipse was protecting Lorna.

Blink was having a breakdown and opening portals randomly.

The Sentinels were conducting a full-scale encirclement.

Polaris: Exhausted, powers suppressed, desperate but stubborn.

"If this continues, none of us will escape..." Thunderbird said with a grim expression. The Sentinels outside were constantly closing in.

"Clarice! You must stabilize your ability! Only then can we get out of here!" Thunderbird shouted at Blink-Clarice.

"I know! I know!" Clarice used her ability with a face full of despair and fear.

The four of them barely managed to flee using this unstable ability.

However, the Sentinel Task Force was already relentlessly encircling and pursuing them.

If they continued like this, the final result would surely be death or capture!

All their hopes were pinned on Clarice.

"Clarice! Open a portal, quick!" Lorna shouted at Clarice. Meanwhile, the agents had caught up; they wore sophisticated equipment and held rifles and Suppression Weapons capable of firing Suppression Bullets as they attacked Polaris and the others.

Lorna's green hair drifted slightly, emitting an emerald glow as she began to manifest her ability.

Surrounding rebar, sheet metal, and abandoned pipes instantly took flight, attacking the Sentinel agents like a storm.

Clang, clang, clang~ These flying objects blocked countless bullets.

However, a needle-like suppression bullet still shot out from a tricky angle and hit Lorna directly.

Lorna's ability was instantly suppressed, and her body couldn't help but go limp. She stumbled to one knee; with her power suppressed, its potency rapidly declined.

At that moment, Clarice opened a portal.

"Polaris!" Eclipse couldn't help but shout toward Lorna.

Without Lorna's attacks, the agents had caught up and launched an assault on them.

"Go! There's no time!" Thunderbird grabbed Eclipse and leaped directly into the portal, along with Clarice.

Then the portal vanished, and the three of them disappeared from the spot.

Only Polaris was left, slumped on The Ground.

Lorna lay half-prone on The Ground, drenched in cold sweat, her eyes somewhat unfocused. Her lips were pale, and several pairs of military boots appeared before her.

She looked up at the group of agents already standing in front of her.

She knew what her life would be like next...

Her heart couldn't help but fill with despair.

"It's quite lively here." Suddenly, a voice rang out, catching everyone's attention.

The agents immediately raised their guns and aimed at the source of the voice.

A beautiful blonde woman with hair that seemed to have a "golden glow" appeared not far away; the newcomer was, naturally, Clarissa.

"Halt!" an agent shouted at Clarissa.

One agent's brow furrowed slightly, and he suddenly pulled the trigger.

Da da da~

Fire burst from the muzzle, but he was shooting at The Ground in front of Clarissa.

Thud, thud, thud~

The bullets hit The Ground. Any ordinary person would certainly not dare to continue forward.

However, Clarissa was completely unaffected and walked all the way toward Polaris.

She looked at the green-haired woman with curiosity, then at the agents from Sentinel Services.

To be honest, with the military, Sentinel Services, and S.H.I.E.L.D... it really was quite lively!

But it was as if they were in separate worlds; they didn't interfere with each other and each did their own thing.

It was like individual circles that excluded "others."

Mutant had mutant affairs, which were handled by Sentinel Services.

Meanwhile, the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. were busy with other things. Nick Fury even knew about the existence of "aliens" and was putting together the "Avengers."

One could only say, as expected of America—it really is full of talent and never a dull moment!

The Sentinel agent's brow furrowed; she actually dared to keep advancing! And she was getting close to their target!

What warning? Just shoot!

"She's an accomplice! Shoot to kill!" the agent immediately shouted.

Da da da da!

Gunfire roared as countless bullets were fired at Clarissa.

Lorna's body was weak, and she could do nothing. She hadn't seen Clarissa before and was sure she didn't know her... Was an innocent person being dragged into this?

But she could do nothing, absolutely nothing...

Sizzle~

Countless bullets fell upon Clarissa.

There were no sparks, no ricochets, and they didn't pass through her; instead, it was as if they were erased, directly annihilated.

"What's the situation?!"

"Is she a Mutant?!"

"Quick, use Suppression Bullets!"

Seeing this, the agents were greatly shocked and hurriedly fired Suppression Bullets at Clarissa.

However, the Suppression Bullets flying toward her were no different from the previous bullets; they were likewise annihilated.

"What is going on..."

The agents' faces changed drastically. Suppression Bullets were useless, and regular bullets were useless...

Just what kind of being was this person?!

"Who are you?" an agent asked Clarissa. A man who was clearly the commander stepped forward, looking at Clarissa with a serious expression: "We are from Sentinel Services. This person is a criminal we are apprehending. Do you realize that what you are doing is a crime against national security? Leave now, and we will not hold you accountable!"
