The Inheritors Part 31

//

Reaching the penultimate floor, Ironheart frowned as she realized that the number of clones was less.

That confused her and made her wary.

After all, when someone wants to protect, they always improve their defenses.

So she concluded that there was something else guarding the top floor.

"Be careful! Something seems wrong" Ironheart said.

Those present nodded as they also found the situation very strange.

Killing the last clone, they walked up to the top floor since Jennix was there.

The top floor was huge and spacious.

Ironheart's group and the arachnids looked in front of them in surprise.

At the other end of the floor, Jennix was inside a spider-like machine.

"Hahaha, you guys are amazing to have made it this far"

"But I'm also grateful because thanks to you I can use my latest experiment" Jennix said with a smile on his face

Ironheart's group and the arachnids are surprised.

But before they can ask, the doors behind Jennix open.

And under the horrified gaze of the arachnids, arachnid-like humanoid creatures come out, completely monstrous.

"Do you know anything about those things?" Ironheart asked Silk, seeing the fear of the arachnids towards these creatures.

She is feeling a strange pressure coming from these creatures.

"Yes, that's a failed transformation when getting our Spider powers" Silk answered with a gloomy expression.

"How come there are so many of them?" Scarlet Spider asked as he clenched his fists tightly.

He already has an idea of what Jennix did to get so many.

"Hahaha, for a while to feed my family, I resorted to cloning some captured arachnids, which was successful, so I moved on to the next phase… breeding" Jennix said with a calm smile as if he were talking about animals.

The arachnids are furious hearing his words and want to go kill that bastard.

Ironheart, Jessica, Rogue, and Psylocke have expressions full of disgust.

Jennix, ignoring their emotional swings, continues:

"Unfortunately, that part was not satisfactory and these creatures were born, the only good thing was that they are very easy to clone and use"

Looking at them with a strange smile, Jennix says:

"Now I can check if your descendants are stronger than you. Attack them!"

Letting out a great roar filled with pain, the arachnid monsters charge towards Ironheart's group and the arachnids.

"Damn bastard!" Spider-Girl growled coldly in pain, somehow these were like distant family.

Thinking how the clones must have suffered seeing their children like this, she felt very sad and angry at the same time.

Silk was also sad to see these creatures, but with great resolution on her face she ran towards one of the monsters and evading its large arms, she jumped and with the gun she shot at the creature's head, killing it instantly.

The arachnids were shocked by Silk's actions.

"I will never let you use them! I will kill them before they have a life of suffering!" Silk said with great will, but the lines of tears that fell down her face showed her pain.

Hearing her words, the arachnids did not hesitate any longer and advanced towards the creatures.

That was the best they could do for them.

They couldn't let them be used by that damn Inheritor.

They attacked without showing mercy.

Jennix was surprised, but quickly calmed his emotions.

Without giving the Inheritor time to react, with her sword made of energy, Psylocke cut part of the cables that linked him to the spider-like machine.

Jennix let out a grunt of pain and using the machine's robotic legs, he attacked Psylocke in defense.

Psylocke stepped back and unleashed a powerful psychic wave at Jennix, who staggered as he briefly lost consciousness.

Jennix looked at Psylocke in surprise, as it was the first time he had been affected by a person with mental abilities.

"Hey! You shouldn't get distracted when you're fighting" a voice said from behind Jennix.

The Inheritor was shocked and turned to see the culprit, but was met by Jessica Jones's fist.

The force of the punch was terrifying and he was hurled against the wall of the building with a huge tremor.

Jennix touched his chin and looked at the two women who had hurt him.

Just as he was about to speak, his face changed as he noticed Ironheart's movements.

Ironheart had approached a wall that didn't seem like anything special, but Jennix knew what was hidden on the other side.

The brains of the Inheritors!

He wanted to calm down thinking that girl came to that place by coincidence, but seeing that the girl easily found the hidden control panel on the wall, he became anxious.

"Stop her!" Jennix ordered.

The spider creatures ignored the arachnids and charged at Ironheart.

But that order in the middle of the battle was stupid.

With the creatures turning their backs on the arachnids, the arachnids took advantage of that and killed them faster.

Realizing his mistake for being anxious, Jennix's face turned ugly.

What a miscalculation!

He quickly ordered a portion of the creatures to continue attacking the arachnids.

Thus a part of the creatures approached Ironheart.

But facing these creatures Ironheart didn't worry as her Ironheart suits and Rogue were protecting her.

Ironheart manipulated the panel and hacked it very easily, once the correct key was entered the wall opened revealing a hidden room.

Inside it, there were six blood-red crystals that were connected to wires.

Ironheart smiled and walked over to the crystals mercilessly ripping them off and storing them in a part of her suit.

With that they will no longer be able to connect their minds to new bodies.

"Miss Williams, I've already entered into the power system of every cloning factory on this Earth" Alexa informed her.

"Overcharge them" Ironheart ordered.

Alexa continued with the order and the energy of the cloning machines began to explode, not only where Ironheart and the others were but also in other factories.

Seeing that, Ironheart smiles and through the suit's intercom, she says:

"Alex, you can crush them now"

From the other end of the line, he only replies in one word:

"Okay"
