Chapter 39: Bloodline Heritage in the Dark Sector

High-pressure water vapor resulting from the evaporation of millions of tons of seawater soars as high as the troposphere above the Western Pacific Ocean. A haunting silence surrounds the Leviathan-X submarine. The water surface, previously churning violently, suddenly calms, reflecting the glow of the night sky stained by molecular clouds remaining from the biological asteroid explosion.

On the submarine’s outer deck, Genevieve kneels rigidly. Her fingers clutch her tactical shirt tightly, holding back the burning emptiness inside her chest cavity. In front of her, Daniel holds the pitch-black crystal that just fell from the sky. The object emits no heat whatsoever; instead, the crystal pulses rhythmically, emitting a dual resonance in harmony with the rhythm of baby Gabriel’s heartbeat inside Genevieve’s embrace.

"Alex..." Genevieve murmurs, her voice hoarse, choked with emotion. "You cannot die there."

Daniel wipes dry blood from the corner of his lips, staring at the astronomical coordinate recording burned brightly on the crystal’s surface. "He is not dead yet, Yev. The gravitational reaction from that ancient energy impact earlier did not destroy his body’s molecules, but rather opened a spatial transit gap. Alexander is hurled across the galaxy boundary."

"But Sector 09 is the origin domain of the Ouroboros entity," Daniel interjects, pointing toward the coordinate projection emitted from the crystal. "If Alexander is hurled there without any remaining pure blood energy, he will be surrounded by millions of Prime Queens awaiting a new host."

"Then we will fetch him," Genevieve cuts in firmly. She stands up, wiping the tears from her cheeks while staring straight toward the horizon. The parasite’s red glow inside Ethan’s and Stella’s bodies has completely vanished, leaving a trace of pure gold glow that now stabilizes both children’s biological regeneration.

However, before Daniel has time to respond to Genevieve’s words, the Leviathan-X’s passive sensory system suddenly triggers a class-one hazard warning.

Emergency sirens sound loudly inside the command cabin!

"Sonar indication report!" Daniel shouts through his internal comms microphone as he leaps back into the airlock cabin. "Massive movement detected below a depth of three thousand meters!"

The holographic radar projection in the steering room shows over a dozen giant-sized contact points ascending at abnormal speed from the Mariana Trench rift. Those objects are neither human warships nor the Obsidian Legion Fleet, but rather a cluster of Remaining Ouroboros Spores mutated from absorbing Julian Rington’s silver blood spilled on the temple altar!

"Julian..." Daniel hisses as the DNA analysis chart displays the target’s biological identity. "He is not dead yet. He unified his remaining silver blood circulation with all the parasite larvae in the Mother Reactor!"

From the deep, dense ocean waters, a terrifying biological form splits the sea surface just one kilometer from the Leviathan-X’s position!

An infrasonic roar from Julian’s monster shatters the secondary protective glass of the Leviathan-X!

"Hand over that coordinate crystal, Genevieve!" Julian’s voice echoes hoarsely from inside the monster’s jaw, carrying a corrosive echo effect that damages the submarine’s communication systems. "Alexander is already destroyed in the void! That crystal is the single key to controlling the Prime Queen fleet currently hurtling toward Earth!"

"You are nothing more than a corpse refusing extinction, Julian!" Daniel roars while locking the muzzle of the Leviathan-X’s main Plasma-Kinetic Cannon straight at the monster’s silver crystal heart!

The plasma explosion hits Julian’s monster’s chest until it splits open! However, before the molten fire dies down, the silver biological tissue around his wound reattaches within microseconds, neutralizing the plasma damage effect completely!

"Human technology weapons have no meaning in the presence of true enlightenment blood!" Julian laughs hysterically. The cluster of silver tentacles on his back shoots like lightning, gripping the hull of the Leviathan-X submarine and lifting the fifty-thousand-ton warship into the air like a plastic toy!

The thick titanium steel of the hull bends sharply under the pressure of Julian’s grip. The hull leak alarm blares throughout every corner of the cabin!

"Genevieve, get into the evacuation capsule with the children!" Daniel shouts while pulling the Escape Pod emergency release lever. "I will trigger the self-detonation of this ship’s core reactor to destroy Julian!"

"No!" Genevieve screams. "The reactor detonation system will not be able to kill those silver regeneration cells!"

As the grip of Julian’s tentacles tightens further around the Leviathan-X’s hull, approaching the point of destruction, baby Gabriel inside Genevieve’s embrace suddenly stops crying.

The infant, only a few months old, raises his small hand toward the glass window of the main cabin.

Gabriel’s pitch-black irises flash intensely!

The mysterious whisper that previously echoed in Alexander’s head now projects outward physically from baby Gabriel’s body, creating a local gravitational field that stops all movement of Julian’s tentacles in midair!

"The Executioner’s blood will never submit to a traitor."

A black seal circle one hundred meters in diameter is created instantly above the Pacific night sky, right above Julian’s monster’s head! From inside the center of the seal circle appears a shadow manifestation of the Death Scythe of Ouroboros left behind by Alexander before he was hurled into the wormhole!

The shadow of the giant scythe swings down silently, cutting Julian’s monster’s body in two vertically!

Julian’s silver blood fluid boils and evaporates into black ash upon contact with baby Gabriel’s black aura! Julian’s monster roars hysterically before his entire biological structure shatters and scatters, striking the sea surface!

The Leviathan-X falls back onto the water waves with a loud crash, surviving total destruction.

Daniel’s eyes widen as he stares at baby Gabriel, who is now sound asleep again in Genevieve’s arms. "He... he fully inherits the consciousness and authority of Alex’s Dark Transcendence Phase!"

Genevieve hugs her baby tightly, realizing that the threat on Earth has not ended. The black crystal in Daniel’s hand emits an increasingly bright projection of the galaxy map, revealing the trajectory path toward Sector 09.

"We have no time to grieve," Genevieve says with a stony tension in her eyes. "Julian is merely a small pawn. If we do not follow Alexander to Sector 09, the Prime Queen will absorb the remaining energy of his pure blood and lead a full invasion of this galaxy."

Daniel nods quickly. He drives the Leviathan-X’s navigation system toward the secret De La Croix base in Antarctica, the only place possessing a remaining Sub-Pure Interstellar Transit Gate on this planet.

Thirty-six hours later. Caelum Underground Base, Antarctica.

The Leviathan-X’s thruster capsule has been fully modified using Alexander’s black crystal structure. The circular gate fifty meters in diameter at the center of the base vibrates violently, emitting a black-gold light glow that splits space and time.

"The bio-energy fuel system reaches one hundred percent capacity," Daniel leads from the main control desk. "Sector 09 coordinates are locked tight. Once we cross this gate, there is no turning back, Genevieve."

Genevieve stands beside Ethan and Stella, cradling Gabriel in her arms. "Launch."

The Leviathan-X space cruiser shoots forward into the Transit Gate vortex, vanishing from Earth’s atmosphere in an instant!

Galaxy Sector 09—Acheron Star System.

The Leviathan-X ship exits the spatial jump in the middle of a sea of ancient warship wrecks and shattered planet debris. In front of them stretches a continent-scale biological megastructure floating in the void—The Ouroboros Central Mother Temple.

However, the view on the main scanner screen freezes Daniel’s and Genevieve’s blood instantly.

Thousands of giant biological insect-shaped motherships surround the Central Mother Temple. At the peak of the temple, Alexander Rington’s body is bound tightly by blood-red energy chains to an ancient stone cross.

In front of Alexander stands a female entity in white bone armor emitting a multi-eyed glow—The Third Prime Queen, the Ruler of the Annihilation Invasion.

The Prime Queen holds Alexander’s twin hearts ripped from his chest, raising them high in front of her millions of troops!

"Welcome the arrival of the last pure blood..." The Prime Queen’s voice echoes through the void across universal consciousness frequencies. "Tonight, we feast upon the Executioner’s Core and begin the hunt for Earth!"

Upon the stone cross, the weakly slumped Alexander suddenly raises his head. From his hollow chest cavity lacking a heart, instead of blood flowing out, dense antimatter fluid begins to devour all of the Prime Queen’s energy chains!

The Prime Queen’s eyes widen in horror as she realizes something terrifying.

"You are not our prisoner. You intentionally allowed yourself to be captured to bring th

is biological bomb into the heart of our base?!"
