Invincible Issue #77 Novels & Stories

The minister turned the body over to avoid the creepy, sinister smile of accomplishment on the now dead discretus’s face, and turned to see what was happening to his best friend. Lucianne quivered as her immune system tried to fight off the high concentration of venom. Her own Authority that held their opponents wore off, giving them a surge of energy and unencumbered liberty to attack and defend. Those on her side were still holding up fine, but many were glancing at their queen just to make sure that she remained safe while trying to heal. Hailey, Ivory, Toby and Dominic surrounded her, fighting off incoming attacks.

Before I could protest any further, Jackson appeared by my side. "Nicole, doctor Chung is right. Let's leave him with doc for now and I need to talk to you about something important." Jackson said. I glanced back and forth between him and doc, and then reluctantly walked away from Shane's bed while doctor Chung pulled the green curtains around them only, without a single glimpse of what's gonna happen inside. I turned around and looked at Jackson while running my fingers through my tangled hair. "What's up?" "Well everything is pretty chaotic right now. There's only 8 injured men including Cameron and Toby, but the others are all okay." I nodded.

"You're pretty damn lucky! I set a venomous snake on you and even took your antivenom, but you still didn't die! "Why won't you just die? Die already! Die!"

"Five subjects escaped. One engaged and nearly killed everyone. Disappointing tactical outcome." "Disappointing?" Alexei's voice is raw. Angry. "We lost eight men. Good soldiers. And you call it disappointing?" "Yes." Konstantin turns to me. "You encountered Number Seven. Fought her directly. I need a full report. Her abilities. Her limitations. Everything." I'm too tired to be polite. "She's faster than any enhanced wolf I've seen. Stronger. Heals from anything except spinal damage, and even that only slows her down temporarily. Fire hurts her but she adapts. And she's smart. Smarter than she should be."

What the hell was I thinking, stopping him? I am a dead meat! I let go of his hand slowly, embarrassed. Both guards took a half-step forward to attack me, but Vince signaled them to stop. Vince turned his eyes on me — cold, sharp, curious. “Is there a problem, Titan?” he asked, his voice low, and raised a thick brow. I swallowed. My heart was pounding in my ears, but I kept my voice even. “She’s still recovering,” I said. “She’s not strong enough. Please, spare her.”

He was a man being dismantled by his own creators. "Dante!" I screamed as he collapsed to his knees. The Sovereign guards descended from the trees—not the silver soldiers, but the elite Enforcers. They didn't aim their weapons at me. They aimed them at him. They knew the only way to get the "Asset" was to break the man holding her. I stood in front of him, my hands glowing a violent, defiant violet, but I was outmatched. For the first time, I was the one who had to be the shield, but the 7.0 code was failing under the weight of my own breakdown.

I needed to know why he was acting like this. “They finished the chant, Robin. Like I said, they’re Invokers. They call on spirits from the dead to fight their battles. Every hit they land is equivalent to about a hundred souls. You won’t survive it if even two hits land on you, so we need to leave.” My eyes widened. I never knew people like this existed. How were we supposed to get out of here now? I didn’t even finish the thought before I felt something aimed at us. Before I could register what it was, Damon shoved me aside just as a massive surge of energy passed between us and slammed into a nearby tree, completely shattering it.

(Captain Guard) "Guard Captain Mike….Yeah, as always…oh That?... We called it The Punisher..that's our new Level 7 beast, it can even blast through your wall if it's angry..". (Major Colleen) Since the other party doesn't know that the beast was exactly nothing more than a simple vehicle, Everyone in Aeternum knew not to correct them and just follow along with the flow, like their president said 'if they make a good assumption, then just let them be'.

"Wait. Did you read too many superhero comics? I thought chivalry was dead!" His partner—the punk with a neck crick—unsheathed and brandished his pocket knife. "What's your superhero name supposed to be, aye? Invincible? Spider-Man? Do you even know where you are, Soon-to-be-Dead-Man?" "Mortals and their ignorance." Logan sighed and stepped forward. Neck Crick felt as though the world had turned upside down. The knife in his hand had somehow lodged itself inside Blonde's thigh! He turned and tried to fix his eyes on Logan. It was then that he realized Clarice was already back in Logan's arms.

That’s why I am Asher feathers, but Ivy did. “I do not doubt heart strength and brighter did I from the onset. My only problem is that she is going to get herself hurt in the process because the heart eater ain’t something like we are. He is close to being invincible and supernatural” i spring up. “Close to… you just said close to being invincible but that doesn’t make him invincible, does it?” Warlock’s questions and stands up from the bed as well. We continue staring at each other in silence. At this point, I do not know what else to say.
