Chapter 226: Unfinished Love between Human and Ghost

Sain suffered a heavy blow, and Heberon was completely sealed up.

Clark let out a sigh of relief and turned to look in the direction of the superstar, only to see a blue quantum energy fluctuation sweeping her and a man without a destination into it, disappearing right before everyone's eyes.

It was the teleportation messenger Gordon of the Inhuman race! Seeing that Gordon had been controlled by the superstar, Clark finally understood how they found the "past life," a place he himself couldn't locate now.

He stepped forward to support the nearly falling Sain, only to feel that Sain's injuries had stabilized.

Although Heberon's attack had severely injured him, it was not enough to take the life of this powerful being.

After confirming that Sain was not in life-threatening danger, Clark turned to look at Daisy, the Quake: "Daisy, how are you doing?"

"Thump!"

Just as the two invincible enemies, one captured and the other fleeing, were seen, Daisy, who had been struggling to hold on, finally couldn't bear it any longer. She kneeled weakly on the ground, covering her face and crying in grief. Clark, Thor, and others also felt a pang of sadness.

However, knowing that now was not the time to wallow in grief, she cried for a moment, vented some of the sorrow in her heart, then quickly dried her tears and said: "They're all dead. My father, my mother, and many of my people have been killed by those bastards. My once great Inhuman race is now reduced to just a few people."

"I'm sorry, they were actually targeting me. All these disasters were brought by me." At this moment, Sain, still very weak but able to speak, said: "It turns out I was born a disaster that would bring destruction to the world. I've harmed everyone!"

Hearing Sain's incoherent words, Clark frowned: "Now is not the time for this. Daisy, pull yourself together. Gather the surviving clansmen and come back with us to the Avengers base. We'll talk about other things after we ensure the injured receive treatment."

Suppressing the grief in her heart, Daisy turned to look at Lincoln: "Lincoln, can you hold on... Lincoln!"

As Daisy exclaimed, everyone's attention turned to Lincoln.

They saw that one of the Inhuman race's most powerful beings, a young master of electromagnetic power, an excellent doctor, now stood like a warrior, persisting at Daisy's side. His pupils had already lost focus, and the vitality had vanished from his body.

He had died, fighting for the Inhuman base until the last moment. He died from his severe wounds, his light extinguished!

However, from the relieved smile still visible on his face, it was not hard to tell that he only breathed his last after seeing Clark and the others defeat their powerful enemies, capturing Heberon and repelling the superstar.

He died in peace, without any regrets.

What a tragedy!

What a heroic end!!!

After comforting Daisy and organizing the grieving process, they gathered the surviving clansmen. Aside from her and Sain, there were only a mere seven Inhumans left!

Walking in line through the portal to the Avengers base, the surviving Inhumans finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the deceased, they could only arrange for someone to bury them after settling down the survivors.

The Avengers base, in reality, was just three floors separated from the Pym Lab. One floor was the men's dormitory, one was the women's, and another was the training base.

This might seem modest, but the new Avengers base was being constructed in full swing, located in Manhattan, New York City, an area prone to disasters.

For others, Manhattan might be dangerous, but for the Avengers, it's the most convenient location for rescuing the outside world.

The funding for the Avengers base was jointly undertaken by Clark and Tony.

Originally, Tony proposed to bear all the construction costs himself, but Clark refused under the pretense of fairness and justice.

What a joke! If Tony became the sole financier of the Avengers base, wouldn't he bully Clark just like Clark bullied him?

Upon returning to the Avengers base, Clark immediately brought Mindy, who had just arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D., to treat Daisy, Sain, and the injured Inhumans.

As for Heberon, Clark had almost guessed that he was controlled by the superstar, which led him to attack the future world. Or maybe, he was under the influence of Loki's mind-control scepter? Anyway, it was more or less the same.

Clark's "Mind Cleansing Spell" was the bane of these mind-control techniques, and it was incredibly simple to release someone from such control.

But even after releasing him, what then?

His "Mind Cleansing Spell" could only remove abnormal psychological states from others, but it clearly did not apply to personality distortions and blackening.

And Heberon, that guy was no good even before being controlled by the superstar! Rather than releasing him and causing trouble, Clark thought it better to keep him playing the role of amber in that orange cube.

After all the tumult, when they finally settled everything, it was already past ten at night.

With Clark's current strength, his body did not feel tired, but the continuous high-intensity combat and the series of events had exhausted his spirit.

The next morning, Clark was awakened by the ringing of a phone call.

The call was from Hill. As soon as Clark saw the icon flashing on the caller ID, he felt a pang of guilt.

He hurriedly dressed at super speed, putting on his underwear, pants, and shirt... then carefully covered the sleeping Ava with a blanket before picking up the phone. He then walked out of the room with a relaxed pace, gently closing the door, trying not to make a sound.

Listening to the ongoing ringtone, Clark felt even more uneasy. He activated his super speed again and rushed to the living room in one-tenth of a second, only then pretending to be nonchalant as he pressed the answer button.

"You took 27 seconds longer to answer the phone today than your previous slowest time. Are you doing something behind my back?"

"How could that be?" Clark replied calmly: "It's just that too many things happened yesterday. Capturing Loki, fighting Heberon, settling the surviving Inhuman clansmen, and arranging for the deceased Inhumans... I just threw my phone in the living room and went to bed, so I was late to answer."

Clark half-truthfully bluffed and immediately changed the subject: "Speaking of which, why are you calling so early? It can't be just to check up on me, right? What's the urgent matter?"
