What made Su Muru feel even more devastated was——
Beneath his mother, Su Yingxue's suspended form, on the base of the incubator, a huge symbol, outlined by a faint blue energy, was clearly imprinted—a blooming lily with intricate and exquisite lines! The shape of this lily was exactly the same as the tiny mark on Shen Qingli's wrist, and the lily pattern hand-painted by his mother in Su Mu's memory...
Next to this huge lily logo, there is a line of cold text consisting of tiny light dots:
[Project Code: Prometheus Siphon]
[Maternal Consciousness Link Status: Stable]
[Fire Compatibility: Homologous Repulsion (High-Dimensional Contamination Suppression)]
"boom--!!!"
Su Mu's mind was completely blank!
All the madness, all the hatred, all the sorrow, at this moment, was shattered by the truth that overturned cognition before their eyes!
Mother… didn't turn into a monster! She's here! She's… the Matrix of the "Siphon" Protocol?! She's Shen Qingli's creator and anchor of consciousness?! And Shen Qingli… was created by Mother using the "Siphon" Protocol… a guardian? A weapon? And that mark on her wrist… is it a symbol of a connection to the Matrix?
Why?! Why is Mother here?! Why is she the mother of "Siphon"?! "Fire" compatibility? Same-origin repulsion? High-dimensional contamination?
Huge questions and belated, heart-wrenching grief instantly overwhelmed Su Mu like a tsunami! The charging light of the particle cannon on the mecha "Battering Ram" suddenly went out! The huge mecha froze in place as if it had lost its soul! Su Mu slumped in the driver's seat, bloodshot eyes fixed on his mother's sleeping form in the incubator. Tears burst out like a flood! A hoarse, choking sob emanated from his throat, but not a single word came out!
And the other side!
Disrupted by Lin Mo's violent impact of mixed energy, the countdown of the beacon generator core was briefly disturbed!
[15…14…(flashing)…13…]
It’s this chaotic moment!
That massive, emerald-green spiritual wave—derived from the spiritual wave of Su Yingxue's mother consciousness within the incubator—seized this fleeting opportunity! It ceased to disperse, and instead, like the sharpest drill bit, condensed into a highly concentrated cone of boundless sorrow and resolute will, fiercely piercing the core of the "Siphon," eroded by the "Reaper"! It pierced deep into the eye ablaze with purple flames!
"Qingli--!!! For the sake of... the spark... wake up--!!!"
Su Yingxue's voice exploded like thunder in the core consciousness of "Siphon"!
This time, the ice-blue starlight belonging to "Shen Qingli" that sank to the bottom of the purple-black flames was like being injected with a stimulant, and suddenly burst out with unprecedented light!
“Ugh—!!!”
Shen Qingli's head, enveloped in a cluster of crystals, jerked back! A shriek, a mixture of the sound of twisting metal and the agonizing pain of a human, erupted from her mouth! In her eyes, blazing with purple flames, icy blue and purple-black madly intertwined, tearing at each other, vying for control! The purple-black crystals covering her body squirmed and undulated violently, as if something within was desperately struggling to break free!
"Instructions... conflict... core protocol... error..." The cold and twisted voice of the "Reaper" was filled with shock, anger and confusion!
"Target...correction..." Shen Qingli's hoarse voice sounded again, but this time, there was a hint of "her" struggle to break free from the restraints and...an extremely cold determination! "Highest priority...destroy...the beacon...protect...the mother body..."
Following this struggling command, the giant scythe of purple flame energy that had just condensed at the broken end of her right shoulder, covered in crystal clusters, suddenly changed direction! No longer slashing towards the "battering ram", it slashed fiercely towards the beacon generator core, which was counting down and accumulating energy to zero with a terrifying force that was determined to destroy both parties and tear through space!
"No——!!!" The will of the "Reaper" roared angrily, trying to forcibly regain control! The purple-black crystal cluster frantically contracted inward, suppressing the burst of ice-blue light!
But Shen Qingli's actions were faster and more decisive!
The giant purple flame sickle tore through the air, carrying Shen Qingli's corroded body, and crashed into the beacon generator like a meteorite!
[10…9…8…]
The countdown flashed wildly! The blood-red light at the core was extremely bright!
Just as the giant purple flame sickle was about to strike the core—
Buzz——!!!
The beacon generator core seemed to sense the deadly threat of this attack, originating from a common source. The chaotic blood-red runes on its surface instantly stabilized! A deep purple beam, more concentrated and pure than before, seemingly capable of annihilating space and time itself, instantly shot out from the core like a spear of protection! With uncanny precision, it struck the incoming purple flame scythe!
boom--!!!!
This time the explosion was silent, but even more terrifying!
There was no flame, only absolute darkness and a complete distortion of space! A tiny, unstable spatial singularity instantly formed at the center of the collision! The terrifying gravitational force frantically pulled and swallowed everything around it—broken metal, diffuse dust, even light!
Shen Qingli's shattered body bore the brunt of the impact! The purple-black crystal cluster collapsed and disintegrated like a sandcastle under the absolute force of spatial annihilation! Her human half of the face instantly became transparent and illusory in the darkness of annihilation! Only that eye, flashing with a crazy interweaving of ice blue and purple-black, stubbornly, with an indescribable complex emotion (was it relief? Protection? Or a final unwillingness to "spark"?), penetrated the darkness of destruction for the last time... deeply, deeply... imprinted in the depths of Lin Mo's pupils in that emerald green light cocoon on the edge of annihilation!
