American comics: Intercepting the female superhero, the symbiote is invincible

The door to the main control room suddenly opened, and Wendy's image emerged from the core crystal.

The green light tinged with weariness, yet couldn't conceal the excitement.

“Earth’s protective shield has evolved again.” She pulled up the real-time data of the global Tai Chi pattern, with silver-green energy flowing through each line. “The starlight messengers of the Zeta system have brought new defense technology, which can now directly purify low-level harvesters that approach.”

Ron's giant claw suddenly pointed at the core crystal behind Wendy.

There was a very faint red tinge mixed in with the green light there.

"Your core has been contaminated by mycelium." His voice was cold and metallic. "When did this happen?"

Wendy's image flickered violently, and red rapidly spread within the green light.

“Just now,” her voice crackled with static, “the Reaper’s main consciousness broke through the spatial node; it’s trying to control the ring-shaped structure through me…”

Strange's runes immediately formed a golden cage, enveloping the core crystal within.

“It’s mental pollution!” Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. “These mycelia can penetrate energy barriers and directly invade the consciousness.”

Lorna's copper coin pendant suddenly flew up, and a silvery-green light flowed into the core crystal.

The red in Wendy's image quickly faded, and the green light became pure again.

“It’s trying to force us to split our forces.” Lorna’s wings spread to their maximum extent. “We’ll defend Earth on one side and Andromeda on the other.”

Nina's mechanical eye suddenly pierced the data stream of the star map.

An encrypted message popped up on the screen; the sender was the Bone Lord.

　5.5 “He said the Reapers have set up ‘consciousness traps’ around the colonies that can replicate our abilities and turn against us.” Her fingers flew across the console. “But the Starweavers have a way to break it—by creating ‘mirror shields’ with symbiotic energy.”

Ron's black and gold wings burst forth with intense light.

Silvery-green energy flowed along the wings, forming complex patterns on the floor of the control room.

Space Station 205 and Gene Furnace

"Then let them see what it means for the genuine product to crush the pirated one." His Xuanming Body resonated with the copper coin pendant, and silver-green ripples appeared in the black substance.

Three hours later, the circular building arrived at the Bone Lord's space station.

The space station built from skeletons rotated in the void, with silvery-green energy flowing through each joint.

The Bone Lord stood at the entrance of the space station, his blue skin shimmering in the flow of energy.

“Welcome to the Symbiotic Battlefield.” He held three pulsating orbs of light in his hands. “These are ‘shielding cores’ woven by the Star Weavers using spatial threads, which can temporarily isolate the detection of consciousness traps.”

Lorna took the ball of light, and the light wings merged with it.

"How are things on the colonies?" Her gaze fell on the three distant planets, whose atmospheres were already covered in red mycelium.

The Lord of Bones points to the largest planet.

“That’s the main hive.” His voice was heavy. “The Reaper’s main consciousness is hidden in the planet’s core, and it is evolving by devouring the core’s energy.”

Ron's giant claw suddenly pointed at a black dot on the planet's surface.

The mycelium there is forming a huge vortex.

"What is that?" His voice was wary.

“It’s the ‘Gene Furnace’.” Fear crept across the Bone Lord’s blue skin. “It can transform the life on an entire planet into a Reaper Legion, including us.”

Strange's runes form a cross-section of a planet in his palm.

At the core, there is a pulsating red core surrounded by countless silver threads.

“The Starweaver’s spatial threads have penetrated into the core.” His runes suddenly flickered violently. “They are trying to cut off the main consciousness’s energy supply, but we need to attract the attention of the outer mycelium.”

Lorna's copper coin pendant suddenly flew towards the planet.

Silvery-green light exploded on the planet's surface, forming a massive protective shield.

“I’ll draw their fire.” Her wings connected to the shield. “Ron, you and the Bone Master go and destroy the Gene Forge. Strange, Nina, stay with me and hold the shield.”

Ron's black and gold wings carried him toward the planet.

The black giant claw drew a silver-green trail in the void.

"Once I dismantle that broken furnace, I'll come and help you beat up the main consciousness." His voice echoed in the energy flow.

The Bone Lord followed closely behind, his blue skin transforming into a stream of silver-green light as he flew.

"Beware of the mind traps on the ground!" his voice warned. "They can replicate your Xuanming Body!"

Lorna watched the two disappear into the red atmosphere.

The wings of light suddenly contracted, shielding Strange and Nina behind them.

"Get ready for the first wave of impact." Her copper coin pendants formed a yin-yang pattern on the shield. "Remember, no matter what you see, don't leave the shielded core area."

The red mycelium on the planet's surface suddenly boiled.

Countless figures identical to Lorna rose from the mycelium, each unfurling green wings of light, their palms brimming with magnetic energy.

“The consciousness trap has been activated.” Nina’s mechanical eye fired a laser, scanning the clones. “Their energy responses are exactly the same as yours.”

Strange's runes form a golden spear of light.

The spearhead gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

"Looks like I'll have to fight myself." His voice carried a wry smile. "Hopefully, these pirates haven't learned my suspension ring technique."

Lorna's wings of light suddenly burst forth with a silvery-green glow.

The Tai Chi pattern on the protective shield began to rotate, reflecting all the magnetic field energy of the clone.

206 Consciousness Trap and the Battle of the Mantle

“They’re just mimicking the appearance,” she said confidently. “Without symbiotic energy, they won’t last long.”

The clones' wings of light suddenly unfolded simultaneously, and green magnetic energy formed a huge net in the sky, enveloping the protective shield.

Strange's rune-infused spear swooped down, tearing a gap in the net.

"Nina, locate the energy source of the trap!" His slingshot drew a portal in the void, allowing the light spear to repeatedly penetrate the energy net.

Nina's mechanical eye pierced the data stream of the energy network.

Countless red nodes popped up on the screen, each connected to the underground mycelial network.

“In the planet’s mantle!” Her fingers flew across the control panel. “There are countless consciousness transmitters there, constantly creating clones.”

Lorna's copper coin pendant suddenly sank into the protective shield.

The silvery-green energy flow seeped into the ground along the protective shield, forming a huge Tai Chi array in the mantle layer.

The clones suddenly stopped moving, and their green wings began to become transparent.

“The symbiotic energy can neutralize their consciousness connection…” Lorna’s wings of light resonated with the Tai Chi array, “but it will take five minutes to completely purify them.”

A violent tremor suddenly came from the direction of the planet's core.

Red mycelium erupted from the ground like a fountain, forming a giant hand in the sky that reached for the protective shield.

Strange's runes suddenly formed a golden bell, which was placed on top of the shield.

The sound of the bell echoed in the void, and the red mycelium withered the moment it came into contact with the sound.

"The main consciousness has begun to fight back!" Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. "This bell can only last for three minutes at most!"

Lorna's wings of light suddenly separated from the protective shield, and streams of silvery-green energy formed enormous wings behind her.

“That’s enough.” Her voice was firm. “Nina, keep an eye on the shield. Strange, come with me to dismantle those launchers.”

Strange's slingshot drew a portal in front of her.

Runes spun around the edge of the door, forming intricate patterns.

“This time, I’ll back you up.” His light spear hummed in his hand. “I’ll make sure you can tear it apart to your heart’s content.”

The two passed through the portal and appeared in the mycelial network of the mantle layer.

Countless red mycelia spread like blood vessels among the rocks, each node connected to a glowing consciousness transmitter.

The surface of the launcher is engraved with the same genetic markings as Lorna's.

“They’re absorbing your genetic information.” Strange’s runes formed a barrier around him, preventing the hyphae from getting closer. “These emitters are made from fragments of your genes.”

Lorna's copper coin pendant suddenly flew toward the nearest launcher.

A stream of silvery-green energy was injected into the transmitter, causing the genetic imprints on its surface to begin to distort.

“Perfect.” Her wings of light unfurled among the rocks. “Use my genes to send them on their way.”

Strange's rune-infused spear pierced the core of the launcher.

Red mycelium erupted from the transmitter, forming Lorna's clone in the air.

But this time, the clone's eyes didn't glow green; they were only pure red.

“It seems the main consciousness is in control.” Strange’s runes formed a cage, trapping the clone inside. “It wants to see which is stronger, the original or the pirated.”

Lorna's wings of light suddenly resonated with the wings of the clone.

The silvery-green energy flow spread along the resonance trajectory, purifying all the red energy of the clone.

“You’ve forgotten the most important thing,” she said with pity. “True strength comes from the determination to protect.”

The clone vanished in a silvery-green light, and the consciousness transmitter exploded in the process.

207 Anti-Xuanming Body and the Escape of the Main Consciousness

The mycelial network in the mantle layer trembled violently, and the lights from the other emitters began to flicker.

"The chain reaction has begun!" Strange's suspension ring plunged deeper into the earth, "but the core of the main consciousness is still resisting!"

Lorna's copper coin pendant suddenly sank into the earth's core.

A silvery-green light exploded at the Earth's core, forming a massive energy sphere.

The planet's surface suddenly cracked open, and the red mycelium receded like a tide, revealing the blue ocean beneath.

"It's retreating!" Lorna's wings unfurled, carrying Strange out of the mantle. "Quick, help Ron!"

The protective shield on the planet's surface is riddled with cracks.

Nina's mechanical eye was flashing wildly 287 times, and the screen showed that Ron's energy signal was rapidly weakening.

"The Gene Furnace has released the 'Anti-Mystic Body'!" Her voice trembled with tears. "That thing can devour Ron's black substance!"

Lorna rushed out of the portal and saw a sight that horrified her.

Ron's black and gold wings were rapidly disappearing, and the black matter was being continuously devoured by a giant sphere composed of red mycelium.

The Bone Lord's blue skin has been covered in red, and it is using its last bit of energy to support the shielding core.

"Use the symbiotic energy quickly!" The Bone Lord's voice was weak. "The core of the Anti-Xuanming Body is a fragment of the Reaper's main consciousness. Only the silver-green energy can purify it!"

Lorna's wings of light merged with the copper coin pendant, and the silver-green energy flow transformed into a spear, piercing towards the giant red sphere.

The spear exploded the moment it touched the giant sphere, enveloping it in a silvery-green light.

The red mycelium began to fade rapidly, revealing a pulsating black core inside.

Those were fragments of the Xuanming Body, corrupted by the main consciousness.

Ron's black and gold wings unfurled again, and a silver-green light shimmered within the black substance.

"So this damn thing is also afraid of symbiotic energy." His voice was panting. "It almost got killed by its own fragments."

The black core suddenly exploded, turning into countless red specks of light that flew into the depths of the universe.

The Bone Lord's blue skin returned to its pure state, and he looked at the points of light with a hint of worry in his eyes.

“The main consciousness has escaped.” His voice was heavy. “It left an energy trail in the direction of the Milky Way.”

Strange's runes form a star map, with countless red dots flashing at the edge of the Milky Way.

“It’s going to Earth.” His voice was grave. “There’s a ready-made gene bank there that can allow it to recombine quickly.”

Lorna's copper coin pendant suddenly flew into space.
