The gears in the steampunk laboratory rotated in reverse, and Bai Xing's thorn armor automatically transformed into a mechanical exoskeleton. She held the astrological dagger tightly, and the blade reflected the mechanical device connected to Shen Yanzhi's brain - it was a miniature version of the abyss altar!
"This is the space-time anchor point I made with your soul fragments." Bai Yue in the mirror suddenly took off her hood, revealing the same star track mark on the back of her neck as Xi Zeer, "Sister, we are both vessels of the Lord of the Abyss."
Bai Xing's dagger fell to the ground with a clang. She saw Xi Zeer in the future nailing her to the mechanical throne, and Bai Yue in the mirror was hitting the core of the device with a wrench.
"Do you want to know the real cause of death of Dad and Mom?" Bai Yue suddenly ripped open her shirt, and the same astrological needle as Xi Zeer was embedded in her heart, "They volunteered to be sacrificed, just to give us the power to resist."
The whole laboratory was suddenly shrouded in black fog. The ends of Bai Xing's hair turned blue. She saw that in countless time and space, Bai Yue was repeating the same action - throwing the "Astrology Scroll" into the flames, and then said to her: "Sister, run!" "This is the final truth." The real Xi Zeer crawled out of the mechanical pipe, his right face covered with gear-shaped metal skin, and the star tracks on his left face oozing black blood, "The Lord of the Abyss is our common father, and you are his chosen bride." Bai Xing's astrology dagger suddenly floated, and the blade pointed to the astrology needle on Xi Zeer's heart. She felt a burning sensation on the back of her neck, and the memory fragments of the twelve personalities flooded into her mind at the same time -
Nun personality: picked up the baby Xizel at the edge of the abyss and hid him in the basement of the monastery
Scientist personality: found traces of the consciousness of the Lord of the Abyss when dissecting Shen Yanzhi's brain
Queen personality: confronted the Lord of the Abyss on the mechanical throne and pierced her heart with an astrological needle
"Now, it's time to make a choice." Xizel suddenly grabbed the blade, and blood dripped along the gear pattern, "Kill me, you will inherit the power of the Lord of the Abyss; let me go, we can create a new reincarnation together."
The top of the laboratory suddenly cracked, revealing the Lord of the Abyss in the form of a mechanical octopus. Its tentacles wrapped around Bai Yue's body, and each sucker was embedded with Bai Xing's star track mark.
"Eat his heart, and you can gain control of time and space." Bai Yue's body suddenly spoke, and the twelve-layer star map flowed in his pupils, "But the price is to lose humanity forever."
Bai Xing's dagger automatically flew towards the Lord of the Abyss. Xizel's pupils shrank suddenly, but he used his body to block the attack at the last moment: "Don't forget, every time you kill me, our bond will deepen."
Twelve abyss altars emerged in the black fog. Shirahoshi's consciousness was dragged into it, and he saw himself in every time and space repeating the same dialogue: "Please, let me bear this pain for you."
"This is what you asked me for." Xizel in reality pinched her waist and pressed her on the mechanical altar, "In every life, you begged me to make you forget the pain of being betrayed by your loved ones, so I can only make you hate me."
Shirahoshi's dagger suddenly turned to his heart. Xizel grasped the blade with his gear hand: "Think clearly, if you kill me, you will never know..."
The tentacles of the Lord of the Abyss suddenly pierced his back. Xizel's silver mask shattered completely, revealing the boundary between the star track on the left face and the human skin on the right face: "Go! Go to the top floor of the Astrology Tower, where your parents left..."
The black fog swallowed the second half of his words. Shirahoshi was thrown back to the real world and found herself standing on the top of the Astrology Tower. In front of her were twelve crystal coffins, each of which contained a girl who looked just like her.
"Welcome home, my bride." The mechanical voice of the Lord of the Abyss came from the bottom of the crystal coffin. Shirahoshi's Astrology Dagger suddenly floated and automatically inserted into the gap between the coffins. The crystal coffins shattered one by one, revealing the one sleeping inside - Xizel!
