Cradle's End
From the wreckage of the mechanical womb rose the Old God's altar. Alys' clones knelt, fluorescent umbilical cords plunging from their wombs into the stone. Kain's silver spine had fully merged with Cinder's specter, each grain etched with sunflower patterns from Leah's clay doll.
"Vessel restored." The Old God's whisper shook ice spikes loose as Ilana's chained specter materialized at the altar's heart. "Now birth the new epoch."
Alys slashed her birthmark with the scalpel. Silver blood flooded altar cracks. The Frostfire Scepter evolved—ice rose roots speared clone spines, transforming them into conduits. Every life stolen by the church now surged back through her veins.
Twin Echoes
Kain's silver sand coalesced into a two-headed dragon—Cinder and Leah's specters piloting each maw. As dragonfire tore through the altar, Alys witnessed Ilana's final gambit etched in her genetic memory: a killswitch for all Godslayer embryos.
"Mother... Was this your last gamble?" She plunged the scepter into her own heart. Frostfire energy reversed through clone umbilicals, detonating embryos in chain reactions.
The Old God's chains ensnared Kain, dragging him toward the altar core. Leah's specter broke free, stabbing her clay doll shard into her chest: "Brother... My turn..."
Cinder Reborn
In the detonation's glare, Leah's doll disintegrated. Alys' birthmark healed smooth, but ice roses now crawled up Kain's spine. Cinder's fading specter tossed a charred pocket watch—Ilana's final words engraved inside: "The world needs no Godslayers. Only weeping monsters."
As the ark collapsed, surviving clones encircled Alys. Their fluorescent cords had morphed into ice rose vines, humming a warped Lullaby under auroras.
Epilogue: Ashes Sing
Three months later, Rust Town locals found a tomb welded from Godslayer wreckage. Its surface bore every test subject's code, crowned by an undying ice rose.
On a snowlit night, engine growls startled the gravekeeper. A half-bloom silver sunflower fell from an armored vehicle's door—its petal curves matching Leah's doll carvings with atomic precision.
