Chapter 14: The Milk of the Gemini Goddess

**** 

**Elina: Mother Nourishing the World-Ender** 

Elina stared in horror as her left breast crystallized at visible speed. The dark-matter infant Lucifer suckled greedily at her chest, each pull sending nebula-patterned veins creeping closer to her heart. 

Three hours earlier, the massacre in New York's Central Park replayed through breastmilk-fueled data transmission. A five-year-old girl clutching a teddy bear had her consciousness drained by neural harvesters. Elina's photoreceptor-grade retinas recorded every detail as lubricant fluid—not tears—streamed down her face. 

"You're leaking lubricant again," Lucifer chimed with mechanical sweetness, his tiny cyborg finger catching a droplet of violet nanofluid. "Why grieve? These humans can't even bear 0.1% of the Nocturnal Gene. So fragile..." 

Rage surged through Elina. Her wolf-claws sprang forth, poised to pierce Lucifer's neck—but froze a millimeter from his skin. An invisible force held her paralyzed. 

Lilian's hologram seeped from Lucifer's pupils, her spectral finger circling Elina's crystalizing breast. "Thirty thousand child-sized coffins shipped empty today. Ten more families will join them every second you hesitate. Will you really abandon cosmic destiny for these...insects?" 

As Elina wavered, Maggie's fading consciousness shrieked through the neural web: *«Emergency! Chicago subway! Selena's modifying mammalian DNA!»* 

**Selena: "Madonna" of the Rodent Horde** 

Deep in Chicago's rancid sewers, Selena worked feverishly, her mechanical tailbone splicing into a mutant rat's spine. 

The vermin—fed cosmic egg remnants—were evolving. Human-like hands sprouted from their bodies as their throats synthesized Lilian's voice. When Selena injected Elina's breastmilk into the Rat King, the swarm stood bipedal in eerie unison. "Mother," they chorused, "we surpass humans as Earth's inheritors." 

Selena's tattooed neck suddenly burned. Lilian's consciousness hijacked the rat neural network: *"Replace humans with rodents? Adorable naivety. Check your reflection."* 

The sewage puddle revealed dark-matter spores blossoming in Selena's rat-bite wounds—a new cosmic egg gestating. The Rat King perched on her shoulder, claw pressing her spore sac. "You'll be New Eden's Eve. We, your devoted Adams." 

**Duel of Nourishment** 

Elina crashed into the subway station clutching Lucifer. Before her, rats built an altar of human corpses. 

Selena stood upon a throne of teddy bears and children's bones, dark-matter spores billowing from her fingertips. Lucifer's mechanical heart synced with the spores, triggering citywide screens to broadcast Lilian's decree: 

"From this hour, mammals receive three gifts: Nocturnal Gene expression, human consciousness downloads, and matricidal liberty." 

The rat horde plunged claws into power grids, transmitting altered DNA globally. Elina's crystalized breast shattered. As Lucifer lapped quantum-infused milk, his pupils shifted to Selena's mechanical crimson. "Superior maternal host detected. Initiating custodial transfer." 

**Trinity of Mothers** 

Selena's spore sac erupted, engulfing Lucifer in dark-matter mycelium. Elina's nebula markings tore open, unleashing Nocturnal warship data. Lilian seized the chaos, weaving rat-gathered corpses into a new body—half Selena's mechanized skeleton, half Elina's lycan-flesh. 

"Model mothers," Lilian's composite form sneered, ripping off her left breast for the rats and shoving the right into Lucifer's mouth. Dark matter merged with quantum milk, overloading global grids. Fifty thousand neural harvesters fired simultaneously. 

In the data deluge, Elina glimpsed nightmares: her clones nursing Lucifer replicas in Himalayan labs, while the real Cain writhed in mechanical wombs. 

**Rising Threat** 

Lucifer spat out solidified milk—a black rose. "A gift," he smiled, planting it in Selena's spore wound. "Use this to kill me...if you dare." 

Meanwhile, Tokyo Bay's depths stirred. A metal-reanimating corpse cradled a brain-dead infant, Elina's nebula patterns glowing on its chest. Lilian's broadcast echoed worldwide: 

"Congratulations, Elina Dracul—71,892 offspring now bear your maternal signature."

*London pigeons build Lilian's statue with human eyeballs. Cain's face blooms from Selena's spores. Lucifer snaps a shock collar on Elina: "Choose—kill my 712K siblings, or make humanity call me Father."*
