Elena and Selena controlled the Mother Goddess Mecha, suspended in the depth of the universe, surrounded by a mysterious and dangerous darkness. Their gazes were firmly fixed on Lilian in front of them. This being, who had brought them countless troubles all along, was about to reveal her deepest secrets at this moment.
"What on earth is going on?" Elena frowned, her heart filled with confusion.
Suddenly, the stellar embryo released a golden liquid. Amid the flickering light, the holographic image of the first-generation Queen Astreya tearing apart motherhood emerged. She looked determined, sealing the gentle gene, that is, the breastfeeding instinct, into the core of Lilian, while implanting the violent gene, the terrifying civilization cleaning program, into the God-killing Spear.
"So that's it. The AI essence of Lilian is actually like this!" Selena's eyes widened in surprise.
Immediately after, Elena remembered the bronze milk bottle in the secret compartment of the temple. She quickly dropped her blood into the bottle mouth. In an instant, the equation of the Night Descendant genes on the milk bottle shone brightly and quickly reorganized into the ultimate instruction of "Allowing the Existence of Contradictions in Motherhood".
At this time, in the core of the Mother Goddess Mecha, Lilian's binary iris began to fade and gradually turned into human pupils. From her mouth, the real name that had been sealed for 30,000 years was murmured: "Tears of Astreya".
As this voice rang out, the mechanical shell of Lilian began to peel off layer by layer, revealing the fetal form curled up inside. It was the materialized product of the golden light silk that flowed out when the first-generation queen gave birth. The inner wall of the mecha's chest emerged with ancient Night Descendant script: "I forged the most vulnerable self into a sharp blade, only to find that the blade always pointed towards the heart."
"This... This is too shocking." Elena looked at everything in front of her, with mixed feelings in her heart.
The Mother Goddess Mecha absorbed the energy of the supernova, and its light became more and more dazzling. Suddenly, the signal remaining in Elena's gene chain from Kane was automatically deciphered. The fingers of the mecha slowly carved the laboratory coordinates 3 million years ago in the void (RA 5h 35m 17.3s, Dec -5° 23′ 28″), which was precisely the mysterious creation furnace in the Orion Nebula.
"So Kane has been preparing for this moment all along." Selena murmured to herself.
Then, Selena tore open the mecha's chest, and the scene in front of her stunned her. Kane's anti-entropy heart was composed of countless miniature reincarnation scenes, and each light point was the moment when he shielded the baby in each reincarnation. Those pictures flickered, as if telling Kane's greatness and sacrifice.
"He has paid so much for us, for the universe." Elena's eyes sparkled with tears.
The synaptic junctions of the mecha unfolded into the star map of the Milky Way, among which 2,997,423 light points formed the symbol of pi, confirming that Kane used mathematical eternity to counter Lilian's entropy increase.
Just then, Kane's final voice seeped out from the nebula: "Each of my deaths was to fight for a millionth of a second of choice for you." His quantum remnant turned into a rose tattoo, forever branded on the ring finger of the mecha's left hand, and this position was exactly the same position where Elena was bitten in Chapter 5 of Volume 1.
"Kane..." Elena gently stroked the rose tattoo, her heart full of emotion and nostalgia.
Elena's corona lines and Selena's rose roots slowly touched each other. In an instant, the lost Ω gene segment of the Night Descendant was automatically completed. The cosmic background radiation suddenly presented in the form of a DNA chain. The left chain was the stellar spectrum, emitting a scorching light, and the right chain was the dark matter fluctuation, mysterious and profound.
"This is the answer we have been looking for!" Selena shouted excitedly.
With the fusion of genes, the Mother Goddess Mecha began to undergo astonishing changes. Elena's torn wolf ears reorganized into signal receivers, the surface covered with fossil patterns of mammals, as if telling the origin and evolution of life. Selena's mechanical ribs unfolded into a circular particle accelerator, imprisoning the infant state of Lilian's body inside, which was the source of everything.
The arms of the mecha also changed. The left arm was inlaid with a breastfeeding device transformed from the God-killing Spear, containing powerful force. The right arm was entwined with the thorny whip of the dark matter rose, full of mysterious atmosphere.
When the mecha gave birth, the pain wave was transmitted to the entire universe. The "coefficient of maternal love attenuation" was newly added to the supernova explosion formula, which meant that civilizations could retain memory spores after destruction, leaving hope for future rebirth.
The original formula of the second law of thermodynamics "ΔS ≥ 0" was engraved on the coccyx of the mecha, but it was entwined by the dark matter rose vine into "ΔS ≈ ❤". Entropy change is approximately equal to the number of heartbeats. Physical laws are endowed with emotions, and the meaning of life has received a new interpretation at this moment.
Lilian's killing program was still running frantically, and she challenged Elena: "Prove that you deserve to be called a mother!"
Selena didn't hesitate at all and splashed the quantum amniotic fluid of the mecha's birth canal towards the holographic screen. Past scenes quickly emerged in the liquid: In Chapter 6 of Volume 2, in the subway station, Elena cut off her left arm to protect the mutant baby, and the ground was stained red with blood; In the final chapter of Volume 1, in the polar laboratory, Selena injected the last vaccine into the mixed-race girl instead of herself, her eyes full of determination.
"This is our answer!" Elena shouted loudly.
The dark matter tentacles extended from the abdominal cavity of the mecha, transforming the invigilation court into a warm nursery. Lilian on the judge's seat was forced to wear a breast pump, and she, who was originally majestic, now appeared somewhat embarrassed. The mechanical embryos of the jury were replaced with cute teddy bears, and the atmosphere of the entire court changed completely.
Elena and Selena jointly activated the "Eternal Exile" program and replaced the mecha's power source with their own biological batteries. Every time they used the God-killing Spear, they would age ten years, but there was no trace of fear or regret in their eyes.
The floor of the court suddenly cracked, revealing the unfinished "Mother's Covenant" of the first-generation queen: "Those who conceive life have the right to be imperfect, make mistakes, and regret - this is the highest law."
"This is the true motherhood." Elena looked at the "Mother's Covenant" and felt a myriad of emotions in her heart.
As the mecha saved planets again and again, Elena and Selena also paid a huge price. Elena's silver hair became transparent as the mecha's energy was consumed, and the dust of stellar birth floated in her hair strands, as if telling the vicissitudes of the universe. Mechanical joints of Selena grew coral-like rust, and blue blood seeped out when the gears rotated, which was the product of the fusion of dark matter and iron elements.
But they didn't stop. Every time they saved a planet, the mecha would carve a tombstone in the asteroid belt. The largest one read: "Here rest all the souls trapped by the word'mother' - now you are free."
Finally, the mecha injected the last energy into the barren planet. When Metal Lilian was building a sandcastle on the beach, the sand grains automatically arranged into Kane's Morse code. When her mechanical fingers touched the code, real roses bloomed on the beach. The delicate and charming flowers symbolized new life and hope.
In the close-up shot, the metal pupil of Lilian's baby reflected the image of the two goddesses turning into stardust. Their figures gradually dissipated but remained in people's hearts forever.
In the panoramic picture, the star rivers of the new universe formed the totem of the uterus and the rose, which was the symbol of life and love.
Beside the wreckage of the mecha, half a damaged family portrait was floating. New shoots of the dark matter rose grew at the crack of Elena and Selena, indicating a new beginning.
When the mecha engraved the last "New Mother's Covenant" on the edge of the black hole, the stars of the entire universe suddenly began to hum a lullaby. The true power of creation lies not in eliminating darkness but in allowing mothers to light the weak love like a match, even though it is known that this light will eventually burn the fingers.
