Glass Dynasty

The engine of the first generation Ark roared like the first cry of the universe, and the front of the dimensional tsunami tore the rose garden into glowing dust. Leon's quantum seedling curled up into a cocoon in the turbulence of time and space, and his twin irises split into seven observation windows - each window reflected Alicia's clones: Alicia, a nun of the Mechanicus, was welded to death on the prayer chair, and she was being transformed into a living jump engine in the nebula body. In the cruelest scene, the wings of the toxin clone were torn off alive and implanted into the navigation system of the seeding ship.

"Help..."

The distress signal stung Leon's brain stem through the iris nerves. He waved his mechanical left arm, and the nanoworm swarm wove an entropy reduction zipline in the void, but was melted by the antimatter flow when it touched the first observation window - the seeders implanted causal mines in each Alicia.

Gravitational screams came from deep in the Ark reactor. Kerwin's black hole embryo has expanded to the size of a bridge, and the afterimage of his father is floating on the surface of its event horizon. Those phantoms are being pulled into spaghetti-like quantum flows by extreme gravitational tides.

"He... is devouring time..." A clone of Alicia suddenly connected to the communication, and her mechanical eyes burst into sparks, "Using the Ark's... memory prism..."

Leon broke through the airtight door of the reactor. The gravity of the black hole has distorted the structure of the Ark, and the corridor undulates like crumpled tin foil. The nanoworm swarm formed anti-entropy armor on the surface of the left arm. Every time it resisted the gravitational tear, tens of thousands of mechanical worms were annihilated into light dust.

The gate of the memory prism library was melted open by Leon with an iris laser. In the center of the floating prism matrix, the original blueprint of the first generation Phoenix Project was suspended - the twin design on the blueprint was roughly altered, and the edge was scribbled: "The spark cabin is a trap! The real agreement is..."

The text was erased by the sudden gravitational wave. The tentacles of the black hole embryo pierced the bulkhead, and Kerwin's shadow flowed on the surface of the tentacles: "You think your father is a martyr? He is the first sower!"

The twin irises suddenly overloaded. Leon's vision was forced to switch back to the Bloody Purge Week: his father picked up Kerwin's photon spear at the scene of the parliamentary massacre and nailed the first generation Alicia to the core of the Ark. Her mechanical tears activated an ancient device - it was the prototype of the Stardust Rose that Leon had seen in the Rose Garden.

"Do you understand now?" Kerwin's black hole began to siphon the memory prism, "The Phoenix Project has always been..."

Alicia's toxin clone suddenly quantum leaped in. Her emerald wings entangled the black hole tentacles, and her mechanical vocal cords burst due to overload: "Quick... start the rose..."

Leon's mechanical left arm was inserted into the prism matrix. The nano-insect swarm resonated with the first generation blueprint, and billions of Stardust Roses suddenly bloomed in the cabin. These flowers, finer than quantum foam, are attached to the surface of the black hole, using anti-entropy pollen to slow down the gravitational swallowing.

"It's useless..." Kerwin's shadow reassembled in the rose bush, "I am the protocol itself..."

The twin irises merged at this moment. Leon's right eye gushed out a creation-level white hole stream, and his left eye released an entropy increase chain. When the two cosmic powers collided in the core of the Ark, he saw the ultimate truth-

Father was the first seed sower, and the Phoenix Project was his channel for implanting the mechanical theocracy into every universe. Kerwin's rebellion, Leon's birth, and Alicia's reincarnation are all the flesh and blood nutrients necessary for the protocol upgrade.

"Error."

All of Alicia's clones suddenly spoke in sync. Their quantum frequency bands converged into a hyperdimensional resonance, pushing Leon into the deepest part of the memory prism -

There was an original agreement that had not been tampered with: an arrow woven from stardust roses, the arrowhead was the prototype of Klein's pupil, and the feathers were engraved with the handwriting of the first generation Alicia:

"Shoot to the heart of the Creator"

The black hole embryo suddenly spasmed. Its core exposed a glowing coordinate - it was the source of the distress signal that Leon had seen in the core of the rose garden. When the stardust arrow automatically landed on the mechanical left arm, all Alicia's clones shouted at the same time:

"Now!"

The moment the arrow left the string, the true body of the Seeder appeared in the void. It was a divine body composed of trillions of mechanical sect believers, and the fire of the phoenix emblem was beating in the skull of each believer. But the arrow's trajectory suddenly deflected quantumly, and it went straight through Leon's own twin irises -

The iris fragments burned in the void, and each fragment reflected the smile of the first generation Alicia. When the last rays of light faded, the heart of the Seeding God Body was pierced with the Stardust Rose Arrow.

"You..." Kerwin's black hole began to evaporate, "How could you possibly know..."

Leon's mechanical left arm stroked the empty eye socket, where a new pupil condensed from stardust and tears grew: "Because the real agreement is never engraved in the genes."

The Ark was silent in the gravitational collapse. When the quantum seedlings sprouted again, Alicia's clones gathered around as if they were reborn. And in the withered black hole wreckage, an uncontaminated Phoenix Fire was quietly floating on his father's mechanical prosthetic hand.
