The sound of the elevator cable breaking echoed in the shaft, and Alyssa's blue flame exploded into a light shield in her palm.
Kane's back was pressed against her, and the mechanical spine made a sound of gears grinding together: "My central processor... is under the third bone of the right rib." The metal parts corroded by acid and blood were proliferating, entwining the two of them like vines.
The seven stone pillars of the Blood Moon Altar tilted in the shock wave of the explosion, and Alyssa inserted three dagger fragments into the core of the altar.
Alyssa's dagger opened his bloodstained shirt, and the moment the blade touched the mechanical spine, the fragment ① suddenly floated up and pierced into the spinal interface. Kane's pupils suddenly contracted, and the holographic data stream flashed on his iris: "The maternal gene of No. VII is successfully matched, and the highest authority is activated."
As the blue flame flowed along the ancient runes, Kane's mechanical body was suddenly sucked onto the main altar. His chest automatically opened, revealing the energy core - the missing dagger fragment.
"You are indeed my key." He grabbed her wrist and pressed it against her spine. The growth metal suddenly wrapped around Alyssa's arm docilely. "Now, take it apart."
"So you are the final key." Alyssa's flames wrapped around his heart, and Victor's holographic projection appeared at this moment: "Take it out, and all the mixed-bloods on the continent will be buried with it!"
The alarm in the underground laboratory suddenly shrieked, and Sylvia's mechanical voice came from the loudspeaker: "Self-destruction program activated, countdown ten minutes."
Lucas's battle axe stopped at Kane's throat: "Choose, Queen." His pupils glowed with a strange silver light, "Destroy the tribe for revenge, or..."
(The metallization level of Alisa's arm reaches 17%)
Alyssa's metal arm suddenly pierced through Lucas' chest and pulled out the beating heart - inside which was embedded Victor's control chip. When the heart burst in blue flames, Kane's energy core automatically flew into the altar, and the seven stone pillars collapsed, revealing a boiling magma lake underground.
Kane's mechanical spine fell apart in Alyssa's hands, and blue blood spurted from the broken pipes.
"Open your mouth." He stuffed his broken bones into her mouth, "My bone marrow can delay metallization." The thick plasma smelled of cedar and saltpeter, and Alyssa's canine teeth pierced his wrist uncontrollably.
"The game has been upgraded." Alyssa dragged Kane into the lava, "Let's see whose chips burn out first."
When the blood of the two people met on the ground, it formed a glowing wolf head totem. The explosion-proof door of the underground laboratory suddenly opened, revealing a wall of monitoring screens - each screen was a different angle of the mine, and the hybrids were being slaughtered by silver robots.
"Do you like this gift?" Victor appeared on the central screen. He stroked the clone of Alyssa in the glass cabin. "Your sisters are looking forward to replacing you." The clones suddenly opened their eyes and murmured in unison: "The mother body... needs to be purified..."
Alyssa's flaming arrow shot through the screen, but was absorbed when it touched the cloning chamber. Kane's remaining mechanical arm suddenly grabbed her neck: "My core command... Protect the Matrix..." His pupils split into a data matrix, "... Clear all threats."
(The inside of Kane's mechanical arm is engraved with "Weapon No. VII")
Huge cracks appeared on the ground of the mine, and the moonlight shone directly into the ground like a searchlight.
Alyssa dragged the semi-mechanized Kane out of the crack, but Sylvia's sniper bullet pierced her left shoulder at this moment. The blue blood and mechanical lubricant mixed into a poisonous mist, withering the grass and trees wherever it went.
"Your blood can poison the entire mining area." Sylvia's mechanical eyes switched to aiming mode, "Perfect cleaning plan." Alyssa's metal arm suddenly attacked her heart uncontrollably, but Kane's remaining body pounced on her and bit off the mechanical nerves with his teeth.
"Go..." His vocal cords were distorted by the leakage, "Go to the Blood Moon Altar... destroy the main brain..." Just as Alyssa's dagger was about to pierce his energy core, Lucas's battle axe suddenly split the ground between the two: "Don't touch him! There is a positioning bomb in his body!"
Grayson rushed out of the smoke and inserted the syringe into Kane's carotid artery: "This is an inhibitor extracted from your blood!" Kane's skin cracked instantly, revealing a countdown flashing under the skin: "00:04:37".
(The inhibitor regresses Alisa's metal arm back to 5%)
