The entrance to the "mother's womb" was a mucus-filled birth canal. As soon as Ryan's Xingyuan Holy Sword pierced the surface, the fluorescent blue amniotic fluid sprayed all over him. Irene's remaining chip screamed in the reverse scale scar, and the star code warned him that every cell was being rewritten by reverse genes.
"This damn place... is even more disgusting than the demon's lair..." Selina's last words became hot in Ryan's palm, and the crystal fragments formed a temporary shield to block the flying mucus.
The scene inside the uterus suffocated everyone—299 Lyria clone embryos were suspended in the quantum amniotic fluid, their fish tails were wrapped around the Vatican's optical cables, and the "III" brand on their foreheads was flashing synchronously. The most terrifying thing was that the glass of the incubator was covered with bloody words carved with fingernails: "Brother, save me."
(Gray's ice claws pierce the observation window——Misha's fragments of consciousness struggle in the slime——Elena's mechanical fingers dig out the reverse scale——)
The right arm of Ryan's symbiote suddenly twisted in the opposite direction, and the gears bit the nearest culture chamber. The fish tail of the Lyria embryo in the chamber slapped the glass, releasing a resonant wave of the lullaby frequency: "Brother...you are late..."
"Don't touch it!" Selina's last words. The scales burst into a strong light, burning Ryan's fingertips. "Those glasses are engraved with my patented genetic patterns!"
She was right. The vampire royal emblem emerged from the charred skin, which was exactly the same as the "Lyria-δ" project label on the bottom of the incubator. Ryan's holy sword split the console shell, and the star code that flowed out was Elena's voiceprint log: "Container fusion experiment No. 299 - Failure to introduce Ryan's genes into the embryo - forced chimera is recommended..."
(Young Ryan slaps the glass in the incubator—Elena's tears drip onto the data board—Gray's ice claws pierce the observation window—)
"Mom...what on earth are you..." Ryan's scar suddenly tore, and the mucus sprayed out condensed into Elena's afterimage in the air. Her mechanical fingers were replacing a baby's spine with a star chip, and Selina's first-generation reverse scale sample was suspended next to the operating table.
The attack of the Church guards came without warning - they emerged from the amniotic fluid ducts, their bodies were distorted versions of Lyria's embryos, and their fish tails mutated into Church light blades. Selina's last words shield was pierced by the light blade, and the radiation from the crystal fragments burned Ryan's sleeves.
"The resonance point is at the umbilical hub!" Irene's chip released an overload pulse, temporarily freezing the guards who were rushing towards her. "Use my code to burn them!"
Ryan broke through the three embryo guards, and the moment the holy sword pierced the central umbilical cord, the entire uterus trembled quantumly. All the cloned embryos of Liria opened their eyes synchronously, and 299 voices superimposed into the frequency of the chief judge: "The final stage of the maternal agreement - container fusion starts -".
What burst out of the umbilical cord hub was not blood, but a quantum flow carrying fragments of Misha's consciousness. Ryan's retina flashed the cruel truth - Elaina had split Misha's cloud consciousness as the basis for the neural network of the cloned embryo.
(Misha reaches out to the data cage——Gray's ice claws are engraved with the termination code——Liriya's fish tail entangles the star chip——)
"Brother... choose me..." All the cloned embryos suddenly materialized, and the fishtail light blades stabbed towards Ryan's vital points.
Selina's last words collapsed at this moment, and the fragments were reassembled into a bloody key and inserted into the console. The dome of the uterus suddenly cracked, and the mechanical spine of the first judge fell from the sky, with the end connected to the "III" brand of Liria's body.
"Gift time!" Ryan's symbiote's right arm quantum fissioned, grabbing the mechanical spine and inserting it into his chest.
In the bright light of genetic resonance, he saw Elena's final experiment - she transformed her mechanical spine into a controller, and the scalpel was in the hands of young Gray. The first cry of the Liria embryo did not come from the incubator, but from Elena's opened womb.
(Elena's mechanical fingers caress baby Liria—Gray's ice claws drip mucus—The Judge's mask drips tears—)
"Mom... Is this what you wanted..." Ryan's holy sword cut off the mechanical spine, pulling out 299 genetic chains.
Lyria's real body suddenly descended from the void, and her fish tail smashed half of the cloned embryos. Her "III" brand split into a star abyss channel, in which floated Elena's complete memory capsule - the original design of the mother body protocol was sealed, and the signature column was clearly written as "Project Raine-Lyria".
Branch Undercurrent
The remains of Gray's ice claws emerged from the umbilical cord residue, engraved with "δ Protocol Termination Key". On the other side of the abyss, the mask of the first judge was absorbing Liria's tears, and the lips of Elena when she was young appeared on the surface: "I'm sorry"...
