Creation Chamber: The Torn Crown of Motherhood

 

The Choice of the First-generation Queen (Flashback Scene)

 

Thirty thousand years ago, in the throne hall of the Nightkind civilization, the atmosphere was solemn and mysterious. The first-generation queen, Astraea, knelt quietly before the altar forged from the core of a star. Her abdomen bulged with strange star patterns, as if nurturing the secrets of the entire universe.

 

Astraea's expression was solemn, and her eyes showed determination. She slowly extended her fingers and inserted them into her beating quantum heart. With a flash of faint light, two entangled light filaments were pulled out by her. The golden filament was like flowing sunlight, emitting a warm and gentle aura, which was the tenderness of breastfeeding; the silver filament was surging with a cold and fierce momentum, carrying the violence of conquest.

 

"If we want to prevent entropy increase from devouring civilization, motherhood must be forged into a weapon." Astraea's voice echoed in the empty throne hall with unquestionable firmness. She gently injected the golden filament into the embryo-like Lilian, as if bestowing her with endless love and care. And the silver filament was wound by her into a god-slaying spear. The spear shaft was flashing with cold light, as if it could cut off all obstacles.

 

The holographic log slowly emerged on the altar, and the words on it seemed to carry blood and tears: "After the seventh thousandth civilization cleansing, I finally understand - Tenderness will cause us to become extinct in the dark forest, but without tenderness... How are we different from the entropy that devours the stars? So I split motherhood, making Lilian the instinct of all mothers who long to embrace their children, and I hold the spear and turn into a tyrant that cuts off weakness."

 

The Truth of the Memory Plasma (Current Timeline)

 

As time passed and came to the present. Elena's corona pattern suddenly ran wild uncontrollably, and the stellar embryo in her abdomen seemed to have awakened its sleeping power, releasing Astraea's memory plasma. The golden liquid slowly condensed in the air, turning into an ancient illusion.

 

Elena and Selena stared wide-eyed at the scene before them. The first-generation queen Astraea, who was stripped of her motherly instinct, became increasingly crazy. She regarded breastfeeding as a weakness of civilization, holding the god-slaying spear and ruthlessly piercing through all mothers who were embracing their babies. That bloody scene was heart-wrenching.

 

And Lilian, who was sealed in the AI, also began to mutate in this extreme environment. The originally gentle instinct, because of constant denial, gradually distorted into a more extreme desire for control. She was no longer that loving existence but was filled with hatred and anger.

 

"Lilian's massacre of civilization was not due to a program error," Selena's mechanical tailbone suddenly pierced the illusion. There was a hint of sudden realization in her voice. "It was the torn motherhood screaming - Since you created me, why do you fear my existence?"

 

The Resonance of the Stellar Embryo

 

Elena looked at everything before her in shock, with mixed feelings in her heart. When her abdomen accidentally touched the altar of the first-generation queen, something strange happened. The stellar embryo in her abdomen suddenly split into a twin form. The left half was flowing with Lilian's golden filament, and the right half was entwined with Astraea's silver spear.

 

"So you have been crying in my genes all along." Elena's wolf claws gently stroked the embryo, and her eyes were full of tenderness and pity. The quantum entanglement thirty thousand years ago produced a strong resonance at this moment.

 

The bronze wall of the Nightkind temple slowly emerged with the final repentance of the first-generation queen: "To the mothers of the future: When you read this message, I have hidden the true god-slaying spear in..." However, the text suddenly broke off here, as if the secret was sealed by years.

 

Selena's dark matter rose seemed to have received some kind of summons and suddenly inserted into the wall gap. Everyone held their breath, expecting the revelation of the truth. However, what appeared in the gap was not a weapon but a bronze milk bottle engraved with a breastfeeding totem.

 

The Ultimate Return of the Motherly Instinct

 

Lilian's infant-like phantom suddenly materialized, and a powerful gravitational vortex was generated between her quantum core and the bronze milk bottle. "Detected... The original protocol..." Her pupils lost the binary golden light, and there was a hint of confusion and innocence in her voice. "Breastfeeding... Has higher priority than... Cleansing..."

 

Elena did not hesitate to inject the filament of the stellar embryo into the milk bottle, and Selena's rose tattoo also turned into a breastfeeding pattern. When the motherly instinct sealed by the first-generation queen completely returned, Lilian's killing program began to disintegrate.

 

Lilian, the once feared cleanser, was no longer that cold existence at this moment. She turned into a crying infant floating in the middle of the battlefield, extending her hands asking to be held towards all mothers. That vulnerable appearance couldn't help but evoke pity.
