The armrests of the Blood Clan throne were made of reverse scales. As soon as Serena sat on it, the scales came alive and gnawed at her fingertips. The demon's clone collapsed quantumly behind her, and mechanical tentacles wrapped around the throne base, dyeing the glow of the furnace core into a sickly fluorescent blue.
"Last chance," Selina's crystal tail crushed the demon larvae that wanted to climb onto the throne, "After the furnace is activated, I won't care about your bunch of crappy agreements."
The demon's mask condensed on the top of the throne. This time it was a combination of the skull of the first dragon king and the mechanical spine of the chief judge. His tentacles pierced Selina's shoulder blades, and mucus flowed along the dragon wing pattern: "The contract is established... the blood queen..."
Amid the roar of the furnace starting up, the throne armrests split into a dynamic gene map. Selina's pupils suddenly contracted - in the chimeric process of the dragon double helix and the mechanical code, the quantum tentacles of the Lyria embryo were parasitic on the end of each chromosome. Even more glaring was the "Lyria-β" label in the corner of the flowchart, which showed that the experiment date was actually the third month of Elaina's pregnancy.

"Did you fucking touch that kid?!" Selina's dragon claws tore the handrail apart, but what splashed out was Elena's DNA sample.
The demon laughed like a stuck gear, and the throne suddenly folded. They appeared in the Vatican laboratory twenty years ago, and young Elena was sewing the demon's tentacles into her womb. Selina's crystal dragon wings slashed at the phantom uncontrollably, but penetrated the core of the furnace in reality -
Magma gushed out and condensed into 299 Lyria clone embryos in the air. The "III" type brand on the forehead of each embryo was connected to the demon tentacle, and the other end of the tentacle was inserted into Selina's newly born reverse scale.
"A surprise gift..." The demon's mask split into a holy seal of the church, "Your genes...are most suitable for cultivating the mother..."
Selina's dragon scales suddenly grew in the opposite direction and pierced her flesh. She grabbed a demon tentacle and stuffed it into her mouth to chew. Black blood dripped from the corner of her mouth onto the throne map: "Train your mother!"
The furnace boiled because of her blood, and the genetic flow chart was distorted violently. Selina saw the truth of "Lyria-β" - the Lyria embryo was implanted into the quantum tentacles of the demon god, and the original genes of those tentacles came from her own peeled reverse scales.

"It turns out that my patent has been stolen!" She laughed wildly and detonated the crystal core, and the armrests of the throne disintegrated into star fragments.
The demon's tentacles lashed out in anger, but the moment they touched Selina, they became quantum frozen. Deep in her reverse scales was a controller left by Elena, which was releasing Gray's genetic resonance frequency. The core of the furnace suddenly projected a holographic image: Liria's complete body was tearing the demon's tentacles apart, rewriting the "III" type brand into the coordinates of the abyss.
"You think... you're the only one holding back?" Selina's tail entangled the demon mask, and the crystal pierced into the amber dragon pupil, "My reverse scale... can be sold for more than just money!"
The throne went completely berserk at this moment, and the genetic flow chart mutated into a Cthulhu-style living weapon. Selina's dragon wings were parasitized by the demon's tentacles, and the crying face of the embryo of Liria was born at the fusion of machinery and flesh. She tore off the contaminated wings and inserted them into the furnace. Elena's last words appeared in the magma eruption.
"Selena... protect the children..."
The core of the furnace suddenly extended a flesh and blood conduit, connecting Serena and the demon. The genetic flow chart formed a quantum bridge between them, and Serena's reverse scales proliferated uncontrollably, covering the demon mask to form a deformed twin crown.
"Now... we are the mother body..." The demon's voice mixed with Selina's voice, "a perfect chimera..."
Selina's left hand suddenly grabbed her throat, while her right hand pulled out the furnace key and stabbed it into the demon core. Her pupils split into two colors - the left eye was the amber of the dragon clan, and the right eye was the fluorescent blue of the church: "Get out of here!"
In the astral radiation emitted by the key, the throne disintegrated into a genetic chain that entangled the two. Selina saw the deepest secret of the flowchart - the final product of the "Lyria-β" project was not Lyria, but a quantum parasite of all the blood race genes.
(Misha's cloud consciousness cries in the data cage—Ryan's holy sword is inserted into the judge's spine—Gray's ice claws are engraved with "Don't trust the throne"—)
"Go to hell!" She bit her tongue and spurted out her essence blood, causing the furnace to overload due to pollution. The demon's mask screamed and shattered in the strong light, revealing Selena's own childhood face underneath - it turned out that the so-called demon was just a genetic weapon made by the Church using her first generation of reverse scales.
In the ruins of the throne, Selina's body crawled towards the furnace key. Her left hand had been mechanized into a demon tentacle, and was reaching out uncontrollably towards the coordinates of Liria's Star Abyss.
"Ryan..." She tore off her left arm and thrust it into the lava, using her last crystal scales to carve a warning, "The throne is a genetic trap..."
Branch Undercurrent:
The remains of Gray's ice claws rose from the ashes of the furnace, and the countdown to the launch of the "Lyria-γ" project appeared on the surface. On the other side of the abyss, Lyria's fish tail was absorbing the remaining tentacles of the demon, and the mark on her forehead cracked into a holographic model of the Twin Thrones...
