Xu Rong stood before the mirror, gazing at his transformed self. His eyes resembled those of a serpent, with slitted pupils, and glowing patterns emerged beneath his skin. The Bone Blades on his hands glimmered with a cold light. 0
 
But the most terrifying aspect was the surge of power within him—an ability to alter the structure of matter, distort reality, and even manipulate the consciousness of others. 0
 
Suddenly, the reflection in the mirror began to warp. Xu Rong watched as his face morphed into that of the Mother Body, then shifted into countless familiar faces—his wife, Chen Ming, Doctor Lin... 0
 
"You finally understand..." The voice of the Mother Body echoed in his mind. "We are all of the same existence..." 0
 
Xu Rong spun around abruptly, realizing that the walls of the hospital room were melting away, revealing blood-red flesh behind them. He understood that this was not an illusion; it was his own power unconsciously reshaping reality. 0
 
"You must learn to control it..." Doctor Lin's voice came from outside the door. 0
 
But when she stepped inside, Xu Rong saw a translucent being covered in glowing patterns. 0
 
"You..." Xu Rong took a step back. 0
 
"Don't be afraid," Doctor Lin said. "This is my true form. We are all Masterpieces of the club, just at different levels of awakening." 0
 
Xu Rong felt his worldview shatter. Suddenly, it clicked why Doctor Lin always appeared at just the right moment and why she had such deep knowledge of the club. Because she was one of them all along. 0
 
"Come with me," Doctor Lin urged. "It's time to end this." 0
 
Xu Rong followed Doctor Lin through the distorted corridor, where the surroundings constantly shifted. Blood seeped from the walls, countless Tentacles dangled from the ceiling, and a viscous liquid flowed across the floor. 0
 
 
But the most terrifying thing was that Xu Rong could feel that these were not illusions, but rather his abilities unconsciously altering reality. 0
 
They arrived at a vast Underground Cave, where the familiar Tumor stood in the center. Yet this time, Xu Rong no longer felt fear. He sensed a connection between himself and the Mother Body, like two cells from the same origin. 0
 
"Finally, you have come..." 0
 
The Mother Body's voice resonated like a chorus of countless people, "My perfect Masterpiece..." 0
 
Xu Rong felt his consciousness being drawn into a vortex. He saw countless fragments of memories flash by— the birth of Earth, the evolution of life, the emergence of humanity... 0
 
And even more horrifying images— the arrival of Alien Civilization, the beginning of genetic experiments, and the transformation of humans into various monsters... 0
 
"Do you understand now?" 0
 
The Mother Body's voice was filled with ecstasy, "We are not the natives of Earth; we are mere subjects of Alien Civilization. The entire Earth is a massive laboratory, and humanity is just one of its experimental projects..." 0
 
Xu Rong felt his worldview shatter completely. 0
 
He suddenly understood why human genes were so unstable and why there were so many strange hereditary diseases. It was because humanity was never a product of natural evolution. 0
 
"Now," 0
 
the Mother Body extended its Tentacles, "it is time to complete the final evolution..." 0
 
Xu Rong felt a surge of power within him. He knew he faced a difficult choice— to accept the fusion with the Mother Body and become an existence beyond humanity; or to destroy the Mother Body, which could lead to the collapse of human genes. 0
 
Just then, he heard his wife's voice: "Xu Rong, remember who you are!" 0
 
That voice was like a cold splash of water waking Xu Rong from a trance. 0
 
He looked down at his hands; though mutated, they still retained human form. 0
 
He suddenly realized that true evolution was not about abandoning humanity but transcending oneself while preserving it. 0
 
"No," 0
 
Xu Rong raised his head, determination shining in his eyes, "I will not become a part of you. I will forge my own path..." 0
