Chapter 18 : "The Resurrection of the Gilded Bible"

As Marcus taught the kids to shoot at the slum court, a sudden sharp pain came from his right foot—the gilded biblical fragment was melting and oozing into his blood.

"No! This code should have been destroyed long ago!" He scratched his skin, but missed the corner: a line of fluorescent words hidden in the fragments: "RH-=Resurrect Hierarchy".

As night fell, Marcus's pupils split into two books "Capital Basketball Doctrines", and the title page reads: "The First Commandment of the New World - Forbidden to Jump vertically." His gilded spine extends quantum tentacles, transforming the slum court into a "super-dimensional basketball court."

"Welcome to the Resurrection match." His voice buzzed with the old Marcus's biblical fragments, "Free-throw condition: grind your crew's bones into powder and draw a three-point line."

Lea's interstellar corsair "Broken Rope" broke into the K-73 nebula and was hitting Marcus's super-dimensional basketball court. Her mechanical prosthetic eye plays a shameful memory - the parent star was ruled by the "Galaxy Basketball League" as a "technical foul civilization", and all the atmospheres were drawn into basketball airbags to pay off the debt.

"That's not a black hole..." The co-pilot Knox's mutant right hand trembled, and the mycelium flashed with the same fluorescence as Elena in his fingers. "It's Marcus's garbage disposal port, which specifically devours the planet that lost the game!"

Lea sneered, pulling her protective suit and revealing her left chest - the transplanted "Lucas Heart" was beating violently, and blood vessels were wrapped around the mutant grass seeds that Rennes sowed. She jumped to the neutron star basket, and the bottom of her boots sprayed the last oxygen from her parent star: "Tell the Marcus family's hybrid..."

The black hole suddenly twists. The referee AI's instructions were tampered with Rose's original code: "The 'Equal Basketball' gene was detected - the human tinder protocol was initiated."

Leah's grass grows wildly in the vacuum, wrapping around the neutron star basket and forcibly breaking it to thirty degrees. The gilded spine in the auditorium was broken collectively, and Marcus descendants screamed and fell into the dark matter abyss outside the sideline.

"The game is over," the AI ​​referee tear open his data skin, revealing Elena's mycelium core, "The winner has acquired...a black hole."

Leah compressed the black hole into a ring and wore it on her fingertips. The radio in the cabin suddenly played the wanted order of the Marcus family - her genetic map showed that the left leg prosthesis was hidden in the leap engine of Rennes' mechanical fingers.

The navigator silently handed over the Interstellar League invitation letter, with fluorescent small words on the back:

"Every basket is a coffin, but wings can grow in the coffin."

The silhouette of the broken basket turns the bow of the ship.

Heading towards the most brilliant and stinky stadium in the Milky Way—

"Capital All-Star Cemetery" is launched.
