The whole laboratory was quivering and considering its architecture was made to be resistant to apocalyptic earthquakes, this was very alarming.

The cyborg's synthetic body was bare underneath the medical gown but she easily lifted her 'creator'.

Her glowing eyes didn't contain any animosity. There was only cold detachment and the certainty of death.

"From the moment I woke up. I connected my network to your satellites, traced all the encrypted data you stored, and made sure none of them will stay in this world. Your existence will disrupt the balance...

...of what, I don't know. But obliterating everything you've worked so hard for, strangely brings pleasure to me."

Contrary to her calm, Papa's eyes burned with fury as his lips turned blue from the lack of oxygen. He could still hear her, though. He wouldn't die just yet.

"Didn't you always say I'm your greatest weapon? That I'm the most special being on this planet? Now, everything that's connected to you and me will be gone forever. I, as the most advanced technology ever created, will see to that."

That day, people from all over the world woke up to the news that several underground laboratories from different places around the globe imploded. More than ten satellites in space were destroyed.

Lastly, the international government's most wanted pair of mad scientists were proclaimed to be dead, along with the hundreds of subordinates they had.

Investigations revealed that every person related to the couple had microchips installed in their temples, connected to their nervous system. They all died due to the toxins released by the chip in their brain's nerve channels.

The United Nations even formed an elite team to dig deeper and try to find out what happened to the couple's infamous experiments. Those unethical studies of transferring souls to robots could ignite the spark of another world war.

But they never yielded results even years later. World leaders could only gnash their teeth in disappointment.

There was some evidence that the pair died due to insubordination but all those who could testify perished already. And the international government could care less for the real reason why the pair was annihilated. They only wanted the key to making a cyborg with a soul.

But alas, even that was deleted.

Si Hai couldn't believe his eyes. He had always been proud of seeing lies among truth and spotting truth amidst lies. But what he was witnessing was something beyond his abilities.

The ancient spirit who suddenly arrived earlier did something to Hong Chun which made great changes to her.

It had been a few hours since the senior cast his spell.

The strange characters etched unto her skin were still glowing but they were getting fainter as time passed.

In this land, even if there were still spirit beasts, these kinds of mystical things had long been forgotten. Spirits like Si Hai could only perform the arts passed down to their race.

Their abilities were limited to their bloodline. So the fox didn't know that Qin Yu only lifted the seal he put on the girl fourteen years ago.

The seal bound her memories and hid her appearance under a veil of illusion, making her features plain and easy to forget.
