Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

During the operation that resulted in Madonna's death, the Mana Eye Tumor, which had been revived by absorbing Mark's blood, quietly infiltrated the village, constantly sensing Mark's emotional fluctuations, waiting for an opportunity to manipulate his mind and deepen his connection with the Mana ecosystem.

Bai Yuekui had already sensed this, but she had her own plans and did not interfere for the time being. Instead, seeing the Lighthouse surrounded by Devouring Beasts, she decided to send troops to its aid after overruling the objections of others.

[On one hand, to preserve the embers of humanity within the Lighthouse; on the other hand, to safeguard the ASH consciousness within the Klotor system, while simultaneously recovering human life essence.]

The more life essence the enemy absorbs, the stronger they become, and the weaker humanity becomes.

Bai Yuekui arranged for people to guard Dragon Bone Village, while he led the elite Awakened to the Lighthouse to relieve the siege. At the same time, he allowed Mark to explore his own secrets on his own and let him approach his secret laboratory.

Guided by various clues, Mark broke into Bai Yuekui's core laboratory. The laboratory's access control system announced loudly: "Crucian, you have been granted entry privileges."

That's right, because Mark is, strictly speaking, a cephalomorphic clone, therefore cephalomorphic privileges are his privileges.

Inside the laboratory, countless clones of Mark were displayed in incubation chambers and on experimental tables, ranging from juvenile to adult beast forms.

[Experimental records clearly indicate: Experiment subject K04, cranial directed clone]

[Finally, a terrifying fact was even discovered.]

[After his throat was cut, the parasitic spinal worm that infested him was also arranged by Bai Yuekui.]

When he was exhausted, it seemed like only he and 4068 were there, but in reality there was a group of people.

Even if 4068 doesn't slit his throat, Bai Yuekui will still find a way to do it.

At this moment, Mark finally saw the cruel truth.

From the moment I was born, I was the core experimental subject of Bai Yuekui's plan to conquer the world. My past experiences, the anomalies, and being brought to Dragon Bone Village were all part of Bai Yuekui's meticulously planned scheme.

[Compare that to his impassioned declaration before setting off to find medicine for the old city lord Morgan...tsk tsk tsk]

Everyone is unique.

[Only you, Mark, are not like that.]

[Mark's trust completely collapsed, plunging him into rage and despair. He personally ended the life of the fully conscious, struggling clone in the laboratory, then broke out of the lab and fled Dragonbone Village.]

This time it was Mark's turn to lose his composure.

He was chasing after Ran Bing, telling her not to cause trouble for Chen Min, when he heard these words, he slammed his fist heavily against the wall, the dull thud echoing throughout the corridor.

"Bai Yuekui..."

His voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between his teeth, low and suppressed.

Although he didn't know them yet, he suddenly started to have a headache due to his emotional state.

In an instant, several images flashed through his mind.

He's the Black-Haired White Moon Demon, in the city, slaying the Devouring Beasts, and himself...

Ran Bing returned at some point, standing behind him and gently taking his hand that was banging on the wall.

The knuckles were broken, and fine beads of blood were seeping out.

"mark."

“I was an experiment from birth. My throat was slit, I was parasitized, I was mutated, I was taken into space—it was all part of her plan.”

Mark has been confirmed.

Everything in the sky is real.

He had seen so much before and still had some doubts, but now, his voice was trembling.

"I don't even know who I hate."

"Do you hate Bai Yuekui? Do you hate Charles? Or do you hate 4068?"

Ran Bing remained silent for a long time.

“Look at me.”

Mark turned to look at her.

Ran Bing's eyes reflected his face, and she looked very calm.

"Calm down, none of that happened."

“Now, you are still standing here, without your throat being slit, and without turning into a Devouring Beast.”

“You are you, the Hunter Captain Mark I know, not some other clone.”

Mark didn't say anything more, but his fist loosened.

Bai Yuekui noticed Mark's departure and had already made thorough preparations.

Dragonbone Village possessed a considerable amount of equipment from before the catastrophe. Although logistical support, such as supply and subsequent maintenance, was somewhat inadequate, some of it was still usable.

She intercepted Mark atop the snow-capped mountain in her Swift spacecraft, forcibly taking him into space orbit to sever Mark's consciousness connection with his initial Mana form on the surface.

In space, Mark and Bai Yuekui engage in a fierce battle.

Mark fully unleashes his beastly power, while Bai Yuekui, clad in combat gear, fights back with all his might. In the fierce battle, Mark severs Bai Yuekui's left hand.

Bai Yuekui retaliated with his knife, cleaving Mark's body into pieces.

On his deathbed, Mark questioned the meaning of his existence.

Bai Yuekui reveals the truth about the apocalypse.

The forbidden research into immortality by humanity in the old world has drawn punishment from a higher-dimensional civilization; the Mana ecosystem is a biological firewall deployed by that higher dimension.

Whether she's right or wrong, we don't know; we're just a spectator.

That's just how she understands it.

[Afterwards, the Mana tumor within Mark's Spirit Seed erupted completely, transforming into blood-red vines that instantly pierced through Bai Yuekui's body, while simultaneously reconstructing Mark's body.]

[Mark has achieved a deep integration with the Mana ecosystem, becoming a new form that combines human consciousness with Mana powers.]

Bai Yuekui's body drifted into the depths of space and was recovered by a mysterious luminous capsule.

"Our plans have been brought forward."

These were her last words.

This operation is a core part of her plan to conquer the Mana ecosystem, aiming to completely infiltrate Mark's core.

[Above the Lighthouse, the Coup is Nearing Its End]

The city's garrison commander had witnessed the horrific state of those who donned the Abyssbreaker armor and demanded that Charles try it himself.

He wanted to torture Charles in this way.

[But he didn't expect that Charles's forced activation of the Abyss Warrior Armor would actually control the Abyss Warriors and kill them.]

This time, they practically handed the knife to the other side.

"So, I'll wear the Abyss Walker outfit and kill those rebels?"

Charles, who was walking toward the city garrison, said softly.

He seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps to Sengge in the distance.

Seng's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Viktor sighed and whispered to the soldier beside him, "The days ahead are probably going to be even harder."

Charles paid no attention to them, focusing all his attention on the image of himself on the sky, with his hair flowing freely, clearly different from how he looked now.

"The one who stands at the edge of the abyss... indeed, I am the chosen one..."

[The second season of Ling Cage has come to an end. The plan to conquer the monsters has been fully launched, and the ultimate showdown between humans and the Mana ecosystem has officially begun.]

According to the latest leaks, further details will be released this June. Stay tuned.

Chapter 110 Chain of Suspicion

The world of Ling Cage is still incomplete and without a beginning or end!

Viewers from other worlds began to complain.

It's like watching an anime series, only to have it abruptly canceled at the most crucial moment—it's truly disheartening.

As for the disasters of this world...

It's not that they look down on it, it's just that the things in the Ling Cage world are nothing compared to the terrifying forces that used to cross entire galaxies and influence the universe.

Although the sky said it involved higher dimensions prohibiting human immortality and deploying Devouring Beasts as a firewall, that was just Bai Yuekui's personal speculation, and there was no conclusion.

Moreover, even if that really is a high-dimensional firewall...

so what?

Human swords are not necessarily ineffective!

There are so many worlds, and there are plenty of examples of lower-dimensional beings defeating higher-dimensional beings!

However, the protagonist's world, Ling Cage, encountered problems after seeing the past and future of its own world.

At the lighthouse, everyone, from top to bottom, was silent, as if they were drowning and about to die, only able to make gurgling noises.

Mark remained motionless and silent.

He held Ran Bing's hand, but Ran Bing felt that his hand was as cold as iron.

She turned her head and saw Mark's profile, cut in two by the dim light of the corridor. His Adam's apple bobbed twice, but he said nothing.

The future of Mark is going to be a bit too tragic.

Of course, she was also in a terrible state; she was reduced to a pile of dust and even smashed to pieces.

However, her heart was still with Mark.

Perhaps this is love? It allows her to temporarily forget herself and focus on the person she needs to focus on.

Hunting in the training grounds.

Erica crouched in the corner, her voice muffled: "I just want to know, if Sister Ran Bing's life essence is still in Mark's spirit seed, does that mean she's alive or dead?"

No one answered.

You'd have to ask the survivors on the ground about that.
