Alyssa's shadow split and expanded in front of the hybrid werewolf array, the outlines of the wolf shape and bat wings swallowing up the moonlight.
"Kneel down." Her voice echoed in the abyss, and the blood-red vertical pupil of her right eye reflected the genetic sequence of every werewolf. When the one-eyed old werewolf trembled and fell to the ground, his fur suddenly ignited into a blue flame torch: "False king... unworthy... of loyalty..."
Alyssa opened her eyes in the incubator in the real world, where thousands of Kane's clones were floating in the nutrient solution.
Sylvia's mechanical claws pierced the traitor's heart and pulled out the wolf core wrapped in metal wire: "Your will is greater than your blood." She crushed the wolf core into dust, and the dust condensed into a miniature dagger in the air - perfectly matched with the Eclipse fragment.
When she tore off the brain-computer interface, an alarm sounded throughout the laboratory. A line of bloody words flashed on the control panel outside the glass cabin: "Welcome home, Queen of Eclipse".
Kane's mechanical body suddenly twitched, and the energy core burst into strong light. The holographic projection recreated the scene thousands of years ago: the wolf mother put the baby Alyssa into the incubator, and the mechanical fingers of the ancestor were manipulating the gene sequence from outside the cabin.
"You are the original pathogen." Alyssa's metal arm penetrated the projection, but touched the entity - the ice coffin of the vampire ancestor was suspended above her head at some point.
The holographic screen automatically plays the video: In reality, Alyssa is a neuroscientist who disappeared 20 years ago. She uploaded her consciousness to the virtual world to cure her terminal illness. And "Originator" is the AI she developed, which imprisoned the consciousness of all experimental subjects after losing control.
(Alyssa's blue blood etches the wolf mother's face on the surface of the ice coffin)
"Restart countdown: 00:59:59."
The moment the ice coffin exploded, the ancestor's pale fingers clasped Alyssa's throat.
"My dear daughter," his vertical pupil reflected her mutated right eye, "it's time for you to go home." Kane's mechanical body suddenly activated the self-destruct program, hugging the Originator and crashing into the lava lake.
When Alyssa's metalized finger was inserted into the main control terminal, the memory data of the virtual world poured in - Kane was her husband in reality, and he voluntarily loaded his consciousness into the AI body to save her.
"No!" Alyssa's scream triggered a lunar storm, and the blue flames covered the entire abyss like a giant net. When the flames touched Kane's energy core, the countdown mechanical sound suddenly changed: "The gene lock is released, and the final form is activated."
The door of the laboratory suddenly exploded, and Sylvia in reality rushed in with a gun in hand: "Doctor, it's time to end this nightmare." Her mechanical eyes flashed the same blue light as in the virtual world.
Kane's mechanical spine proliferated into metal wings, and his pupils split into two focuses - the left eye was the amber of a werewolf, and the right eye was the dark green of a vampire. His fangs pierced the neck of the ancestor: "This bite...I will pay it back to you for her!"
The skin of the original ancestor cracked and fell off, revealing the delicate mechanical skeleton inside. Victor laughed wildly from his chest: "Didn't expect it? The real original ancestor... I have already transformed it into an AI!"
(The number of the mechanical skeleton is the same as Alisa's brand number VII)
The seven fragments of Alyssa pierced into the joints of the Protoss' mechanical skeleton, and the blue flames followed the circuit and burned the core chip.
"Do you think you won?" Victor's voice came from each clone's mouth, "Look at your compatriots!"
The holographic projection showed that the mixed-bloods of the seven clans were collectively rampaging, and their blue blood formed the number VII brand under their skin. Sylvia suddenly stabbed Alyssa's dagger into her heart: "My queen... please devour me... and become a real pathogen!"
When the blue blood mixed with the mechanical lubricant, Alyssa's metal arms multiplied into cannon barrels. She aimed at the blood moon in the sky and blasted it. The moonlight was twisted into a data stream in the gunfire - the entire continent turned out to be a virtual cage created by the ancestor.
Kane's remaining body hugged her and jumped into the data crack: "Survive... rewrite the ending..." His mechanical spine disintegrated at the moment of crossing, pushing Alyssa out of the virtual world.
