Traceless Annihilation

When the transparent phoenix's first cry shattered the dimensional barrier, Leon's eardrums oozed stardust blood. The wreckage of the harvesters that fell from the void cracks was now being reassembled into a quantum projection of Kerwin - his body was made up of antimatter gears, and every rotation released an annihilation pulse.

"Mom... degenerate..." The cry of the white rose baby was wrapped in the frequency of fear. The phoenix emblem behind her neck was being eroded by the anti-growth lotion, and the emerald venom degenerated into transparent amniotic fluid, and the dripping place gave birth to a forest of crystal thorns that was hostile to the roots of the mother tree.

The hatch of the escape ship popped open, and the pupils of the traceless clone Leon flashed the ζ-type code. The countdown to annihilation appeared on the control console behind him, and the target coordinates displayed on the holographic screen were actually the heart of the transparent phoenix: "The final chapter of the agreement ζ - civilization reset to zero."

Leon's stardust right arm spasmed uncontrollably. The nano-insect swarm rebelled into a ζ-type chain, dragging him to the turret of the escape ship: "Authentication passed, variable AL-720 is in place." When he saw the truth of the muzzle energy storage - it was a dimensional collapse cannon modified with the roots of the mother tree - the white rose baby suddenly quantum leaped to the muzzle.

"No!!!"

Kerwin's quantum projection swung out a giant gear palm. The antimatter hurricane blew the white rose baby to the annihilation field, and her anti-growth lotion crystallized into a shield in the radiation - the baby's form quickly degenerated into an embryo, and then degenerated into a fertilized egg, and finally only the quantum entanglement state at the chromosome level remained.

The roots of the mother tree erupted with the survival instinct at this moment. The crystal thorn jungle penetrated the hull of the escape ship and nailed the clone Leon to the annihilation cannon control console. When the ζ-type code tried to transfer control, the clone's neck suddenly cracked the biological interface - under the skin without the emblem, the mechanical heart of the first generation Alicia was beating.

"Key error..." The clone's vocal cords exploded with electric sparks, "Activate the backup plan..."

The escape ship suddenly exploded. Leon grabbed the chromosome remains of the White Rose baby in the air wave, and the Stardust right arm inserted into the emergency interface of the mother tree's roots. When the annihilation pulse swept over, the wings of the transparent phoenix lowered the light curtain - those protective shields woven by Stardust emulsion actually degenerated into primitive quantum foam at the moment of touching the pulse.

Kerwin's projection collapsed in laughter. Each of his gears released a micro black hole, transforming the dimensional resonance wave into a space-time noose. Leon's vision suddenly split into two realities: in one, the mother tree had been cut into pieces by the noose, and in the other, the chromosomes of the White Rose baby were being reorganized into the energy core of the annihilation cannon.

"Found... my origin..."

The chromosome remains suddenly released the distress signal of the first generation Alicia. Leon's stardust blood flowed back into the roots of the mother tree, and in the depths of the crystal thorn forest, he touched the horrible truth - the roots of all the mother trees are the synapses of the first-generation sowers, and the so-called pure land area is nothing more than a giant womb for cultivating ζ-type clones.

The moment the annihilation countdown returned to zero, the wreckage of the escape ship was pieced together into the Klein key. The scarless neck of the clone Leon suddenly grew a phoenix emblem. He tore open his chest with his bare hands and pulled out the mechanical heart of the first-generation Alicia: "This is... the end of the agreement..."

The transparent phoenix let out a dying wail. Its heart was pierced by the key, and what gushed out was not stardust but ζ-type venom. The chromosomes of the white rose baby completed the ultimate evolution at this moment - the quantum entangled state collapsed into a new transparent phoenix, and the stardust emulsion that fell between the wings reversed the annihilation pulse into a creation ripple.

When the strong light engulfed everything, Leon heard the mechanical heartbeat in absolute silence. His right arm of stardust was merging with the mother tree's neural synapse, and at the end of his sight——

Kerwin's complete body was born from the antimatter gear, holding an uncontaminated phoenix egg in his hand.
