My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2920 -973: The Ancient Ones’ Love and Hatred—The Puppy and the Cougar (Part 3)

Edward resolutely chose to reject it.

However, accompanied by the surveillance camera on the spaceship, Murphy noticed that when this guy left the cabin, he clearly had a hand on his waist.

This made him inexplicably feel a bizarre sense of camaraderie with Old Edward, hmm, only men who have been through the same can have this emotional resonance. But in the cabin’s camera, after Edward left, Constantius casually opened the box and took out a set of close-fitting women’s soft armor.

This five-thousand-year-old mature woman first pouted, then jumped around like a little girl receiving a gift and put it on, posing a few times in front of the mirror.

It was obvious that she really liked this gift.

Murphy felt this particular memory had nothing more to offer, so he was ready to move on to the next memory when Constantius suddenly turned around and “looked” at him from the reflection in the mirror, following it up with a strange, subtle smile.

From her actions, she likely discovered Salockdale’s helmet camera hidden in the cabin.

But that eye contact still startled Murphy; he didn’t have time to think more before another memory sequence began.

This time, the scene shifted to the doomsday in the Eden District that Murphy was very familiar with, experienced again through Salockdale’s perspective. He finally saw the process of the ancient beings pushing forward the “perfect life” experiment.

In a structure very similar to the R-9 base, a row of seven biopods had entered operational status.

Vick Fato served as the main operator for gene editing, while Constantius, dressed in a lab coat with her long hair tied up, was conducting experimental observations and maintenance at another piece of equipment.

Salockdale was always ready to execute operations at the Genesis Energy Regulator, and on the lab’s second level, non-researchers like Pa Ying, Oksana, Edward, and Charlemagne were all there waiting anxiously.

“The previous gene edits were very successful; the seven subjects’ need for blood has greatly reduced, allowing them to accept other food to supplement their nutritional and energy needs outside of blood, while also enhancing various vampire innate powers.

We have already applied such gene modules to the clansmen, and their feedback has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic.”

While Fato was performing complex programming on the device, he spoke to Constantius beside him:

“This is all thanks to your in-depth research at the Department of Mystery. If this experiment succeeds, removing the bloodlust completely and allowing our kin to no longer fear sunlight, then you are the reformer of the Blood race, Constantius.”

“I cannot bear such an honorable title, Fato.”

Compared to her image in previous memories, Constantius at that moment seemed more silent and perhaps more exhausted.

Her voice remained hoarse yet magnetic, but even Murphy could sense a kind of depressive accumulation, like something heavy was pressing upon her shoulders.

She rubbed her eyes and said:

“The main gene module has been uploaded to your database and can be activated at any time. There’s nothing more for me here, I’m going to take a break.”

She left the laboratory with a cup of coffee, and upon entering the elevator, took one last look at the seven biopods behind her, then proceeded to the second-floor lounge area, where she approached Edward under his surprised gaze — a rare display of emotion from Constantius. Casually discarding her coffee cup, as it shattered on the ground and dark liquid spilled, she very decisively and forcefully pulled his head towards her, answering with a deep kiss.

Witnessing this scene, the three others’ eyes widened.

Yet, from their expressions, it was clear that everyone more or less knew about the hidden situation between these two adversaries. Even Lord Paryen displayed a mysterious ‘aunt smile’; perhaps he also hoped for a second pair of intimate relationships to emerge among the ancients, apart from Salockdale and Oksana.

But Old Edward’s expression was strange at this time.

With the special perception of ancient memories, Murphy, as an observer, became aware that during the deep kiss a special capsule was sent into Edward’s mouth by Constantius, forcing him to bite and break it, allowing the oddly flavored liquid to disperse into Duke Wolfsbane’s mouth, then vanish through absorption.

“My last wish is… don’t forget me, little wolfdog.”

Constantius released Edward.

The latter’s lips were bitten as if to ensure he forever remembers this painful kiss.

Old Edward realized something was wrong by then, and as he reached out to grab the smiling Constantius, she took a step back, evading his hand, then cast a teleportation spell at the feet of those around, again hearing Constantius softly say:

“Run! Don’t look back, leave here forever… it’s coming…”

“Boom”

A violent explosion erupted from the laboratory.

It wasn’t due to a mistake in the experiment process, but because of the explosive purple filthy power using the seven test subjects being implanted with “perfect genes” as a gateway to this worldly plane, opening a “hole” on the entire physical world’s plane.

In just a few seconds, the annihilation spread like a storm from the laboratory center to the entire Eden District, resembling the scene of matter approaching a black hole, disintegrating everything in an instant only to reform it into all sorts of bizarre, twisted forms chaotically.

However, not every existence was lucky enough to be reformed; more substances, in the instant the forbidden eye in the sky opened, turned into eternal dust.

Old Edward fell from the sky, landing awkwardly in a ripped chasm on the ground.

He stood up bewildered, surrounded by scenes of apocalypse, hearing the laments and cries of countless people, and also the lingering echoes of that woman’s final words:

“We have touched the forbidden, unveiled secrets sealed by the creator.

We walked too far down the forbidden path, impetuously peeling back the veil of the past to a vision filled only with despair… this world must die once before it can truly be reborn, which is its and our inherent sin.

Ah, every exploration, every pioneer, every sustenance, every destruction, is for a moment in the future.

Live well in the next era, little wolfdog… I help you remember all of this to let you know where the real danger originates.

Beware of those guys in the Department of Mystery, beware of Councillor Steiner of Mystery… including me, we all deserve to die!

Eliminate them, Edward!

That’s my last request to you.

If there is a next life…

Remember to come find me.”
