Sylvia stepped forward and tapped the silver casing.
With a soft hiss, the final containment box unlocked and released the third Vornis.
Theron crossed his arms, smirking.
"So this is the beast you want me to disassemble?"
Cassius nodded slowly. "Yes. But Elder Theron… please. Be careful."
Theron glanced at him, one brow raised.
Cassius continued, voice low.
"The system it's built with… it's too complex. Even I couldn't crack it. One wrong trigger, and it detonates."
Theron stepped closer to the Vornis, walking a slow circle around it.
"So, Luxoria Castle made a beast that explodes when dissected."
He stopped in front of it again, eyes sharp.
"They really didn't want anyone looking inside."
Sylvia stepped beside him. "We tried. Both of us. It killed two labs."
Theron's smirk widened just a touch. "Don't worry."
He turned toward the far end of the chamber and gestured.
Two armored researchers and one silent handler emerged from the shadows.
