The moment the magma engulfed Alyssa, Kane's mechanical body burst into blue light, forming a spherical force field.
"Your blood... is rewriting my program." His vocal cords melted due to the high temperature, and he could only transmit information through neural links. Alyssa's metalized arm was inserted into the force field control core, and she saw the holographic log: "Gene adaptation of No. VII is successful, and the symbiotic mode is activated."
The obsidian altar cracked into the abyss, and Alyssa dragged Kane into the darkness.
Liquid metal seeped out of Kane's body, covering Alyssa's wound. When her blue blood merged with the metal, the magma suddenly parted like the tide, revealing the bronze altar at the bottom. In the center of the altar stood an ice coffin, and inside, the sleeping vampire ancestor had a dagger fragment ⑤ stuck in his chest - which resonated strongly with the fragments ①-④ in Alyssa's hand.
In the feeling of weightlessness, her metal arms merged with Kane's mechanical spine into a chain, wrapping around the suspended ice coffin of the ancestor. When the blue blood seeped into the cracks of the coffin, the ice layer cracked, revealing the true face of the ancestor - a face that was exactly the same as Kane's.
"He is the one who forged all the fragments." Cain's mechanical eyes scanned the ice coffin. "Your eclipse power... comes from his heart."
"Finally... I've waited for you..." The First Ancestor's fingertips touched Alyssa's wound, and the runes were as bright as molten gold. "My... daughter..."
(Alyssa's blue blood draws a wolf mother totem on the surface of the ice coffin)
Kane's remaining consciousness screamed through the neural link: "He's lying!" But Alyssa's right eye had completely turned into a vampire vertical pupil. She bit the wrist of the ancestor and sipped the blood: "Then let me... verify the truth myself."
As Sylvia's mechanical army surrounded the lava lake, Alyssa was cutting the ice coffin with flames.
"How touching! Even self-destruction has to go hand in hand." Sylvia's voice switched to Victor's, and the mechanical claw lifted Lucas's broken arm. "Your little wolf cub is not very obedient, so I have to help him...lighten his burden."
The howling of wolves could be heard from the bottom of the abyss, and countless scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness. When Alyssa landed, the half-blood werewolves kneeling on the ground growled in unison:
Alyssa's metal arm suddenly lost control and pierced Kane's energy core. Victor's wild laughter came from Sylvia's body: "Didn't expect it? I installed a countermeasure program in each clone!" Kane's mechanical spine wrapped around Alyssa, forcing her to hold the fragment⑤ and stab it into the ice coffin.
"Greetings... the heir of night and fire..."
"Resistance will only make him die faster." Sylvia showed a holographic projection - Grayson was hung on the gallows in the mine, with burning sulfur piled below. Alyssa's pupils split into two focuses: the left eye burned with fire to resist control, and the right eye overflowed with the vampire's green fluorescence.
When the fragment⑤ touched the ice coffin, the ancestor's eyelashes trembled.

The lava lake solidified into an obsidian plain, and Alyssa's dagger was placed on Sylvia's neck.
"Kill me, and the controller will detonate Kane's core." Sylvia tore open her breastplate, revealing the countdown of the mechanical heart, "00:01:23". Alyssa's metalized finger suddenly pierced into her left eye and dug out the contaminated mechanical eyeball: "Your tricks... are outdated."
Blue blood splattered on the mechanical heart, and the countdown stopped abruptly. Sylvia's body began to disintegrate, and Victor's image distorted in the snow screen: "You think you won? Look at the altar!"
The First Ancestor in the ice coffin raised his right hand, pointing his finger at Alyssa. Kane's mechanical body suddenly rose up, stabbing the fragment into her back. Alyssa saw an illusion in the severe pain: the wolf mother and the First Ancestor kissed each other thousands of years ago, and the latter stabbed the dagger into her heart and said: "Use our blood... to make the most perfect weapon."
(The same runes as the ancestor appeared on Alisa's wound)
