The pupil of Alyssa's right eye cracked into a spider web shape, and blue blood seeped from the corner of her eye into the ends of her hair.
"There are still 72 hours." Sylvia's mechanical eye projected a holographic diagnostic diagram. Alyssa's gene chain was vampirizing. "When the final evolution is complete, you will become a perfect killing vessel - without self-awareness, just listen to Victor's orders."
The basement of an abandoned church is filled with experimental logs.
Kane pressed Alyssa into the freezer, and pierced his wrist with his vampire fangs: "My blood can delay mutation." The thick blood poured into her throat, but it boiled and vaporized the moment it came into contact with the blue blood. Alyssa's nails grew into sharp blades, piercing Kane's shoulder blades and nailing him to the wall: "I don't need...anyone's...pity!"
Alyssa lit the 438th diary, and a holographic image emerged in the flames - Kane was hung on a cross by iron chains, and a vampire scientist was implanting a silver chip into his spine. "The latest model of control device," Victor's voice-over sounded, "written with the genes of No. VII, he will never be able to hurt you."
The cryochamber suddenly sounded an alarm, and Victor's face flashed on the monitoring screen: "Dear VII, do you like my gift?" He stroked Alyssa's mutated face on the screen, "Your mother was so stubborn back then, so I had to transform her womb into a culture chamber."
Kane suddenly snatched the torn page of the journal and swallowed it. The chip under his skin bulged like a venomous snake: "Now... we are even." He ripped open his shirt, and the same scar as Alyssa's abdomen appeared on his chest. "I am... the original experimental subject."

The church's stained windows exploded, and the moonlight cast the shadows of the two people into a fighting wolf and vampire. Alyssa's dagger pressed against the chip in Kane's heart, but the flame went out when it touched his skin: "Why hide it?"
Civil unrest breaks out in the Eclipse Sisterhood's camp.
The three mixed-race girls suddenly went crazy. They tore open their own bellies. From the mechanical wombs, a larva with the same appearance as Alyssa crawled out. When Lucas swung his axe to smash the clones, the green acid blood corroded his weapon: "Your blood is flowing in their bodies!"
"Because when you destroy it" Cain took her hand and stabbed it into his chest, "you will also kill the last person who can stop you from going crazy."
Alyssa's flames jumped between the clones, but they converged into their chests as if attracted by a magnet. When the last clone exploded, Kane caught the flying fragments - it was a microchip, showing a countdown of 71:59:59.
"Victor is using your power to feed these monsters." Grayson dissected the remains of the clone and held up the mechanical heart. "Look at this." The core of the heart was embedded with a fragment of the Eclipse Dagger ③, which resonated with the fragment ① in Alyssa's hand.
The ground of the camp suddenly collapsed, revealing a buried bronze coffin. In the coffin lay the body of Alyssa's biological mother, with the sutures on her abdomen winding like a centipede, holding a diary tightly in her hand: "They used my womb to cultivate seven of you, and only No. VII survived to awaken..."

The Blood Moon Altar appeared in the wasteland, with seven stone pillars surrounding the Wolf Mother statue.
When Alyssa inserted three dagger fragments, the statue's right eye emitted red light, spelling out a bloody map in the air - pointing to the location of the remaining fragments. Kane suddenly cut his palm and smeared the blood on the fourth stone pillar: "It requires the blood of a hybrid to activate it."
The stone pillar suddenly rose up, revealing the frozen girl inside. Alyssa's dagger retreated suddenly when it hit the ice layer - they were the test subjects numbered I to VI, each with her facial features. No. 1 had a fragment stuck in his chest, but the corner of his mouth was strangely raised.
"Be careful!" Sylvia's claws smashed the icicle, but I's eyes suddenly opened. She grabbed Sylvia's throat at an inhuman speed: "The Matrix... must be recovered..." The mechanical vocal cords sounded like Victor.
When Alyssa's flames penetrated No. 1's head, the blast wave blew away the altar. In the smoke and dust, Kane used his body to protect her, and his back was cut into a bloody mess by the fragments. His blood dripped on Alyssa's lips, and the vampire characteristics of her right eye temporarily disappeared.
