Chapter 437: Breaking the Ice Wolf

###

####【Quantum Wolf Howl】

The head wolf's third howl tore the aurora, and the sound wave condensed in the void into a Klein Bottle Structure. Ao Li's Inverse Scale suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip— it was not a sound wave at all, but a quantum nurturing command transmitted via the Bronze umbilical cord. The eyes of three hundred ice wolves simultaneously rippled with Star Sand; their fangs exuded silver Colostrum, carving living clauses of the 'Nursing Charter' onto the snow.

"It's siphoning the ley‑line energy!" sparks erupted from Gongxu Yue's mechanical eye, and in his view the head wolf's spine was violently protruding as a bronze conduit, its end linked to the mother‑nest's stomach sac beneath the ice layer. Xuan Yuanhao's divine‑beast claws ripped open the chests of two guard wolves, but what they pulled out was a half‑spine of a Mo family automaton—gear‑shaped bone segments that were converting the murderous intent in the Ice Valley into a frequency‑modulated wavelength of the Lullaby.

####【Inverse Scale Resonance】

Ao Li's dragon horn suddenly grew three feet, its tip sprouting a Möbius Strip‑shaped resonant cavity. When she transformed into a flash of golden light and surged forward, the entire ice plain abruptly collapsed into a two‑dimensional plane. Within absolute dimensions, the head wolf revealed a terrifying essence: inside its wolf‑shaped husk coiled a Dragon Clan priest from seventy thousand years ago, its laryngeal bone reengineered into a vocal‑cord gear, and between the gear teeth were lodged three hundred memory fragments of Alliance members.

The instant the sword edge touched the wolf's throat, the void exploded into one hundred thousand parallel‑timeline images. In each timeline, Ao Li performed the same decapitation, and their Inverse Scales generated quantum resonance through the Klein Bottle Structure. The head wolf's wail suddenly intermingled with the choking milk cries of a nursery infant; from the wound spewed not blood but Star Sand milk, which solidified in the air into a holographic projection of the Polaris Tower.

####【Vacuum Reverse Nurture】

The three hundred Peiyangcangs in the projection suddenly burst, and the silver‑haired infants' umbilical cords pierced the dimensions, winding toward Ao Li's throat. Zixiao Real Person's sword‑orb jade transformed into a feeding tube, and Taiyi Sword Qi pierced the void, severing seventy‑three umbilical cords. The broken conduits twisted in the air, their ends opening into the infants' Compound Eyes, within whose pupils flickered the nursing numbers etched on the Abyss Return Ruler for each of them.

"Cognitive synchronization rate 91%…" Gongxu Yue's mechanism box expelled a muffling gear slick with Brain Fluid. When the gear lodged into the head wolf's eye socket, the entire wolf corpse abruptly underwent Quantum Collapse, turning into a Star Sand milk mist that surged toward the Ice Soul Flower. Within the mist emerged a suffocating truth: the so‑called head wolf was merely a nursing relay station of the mother‑nest, and each command node they slashed was accelerating the awakening of a new divine embryo.

####【Nurture Disintegration】

The surviving ice wolf pack suddenly went rigid, and the bronze conduits protruding from their spinal cavities collectively self‑destructed. Lingxiao Pavilion disciple's Sword Qi swept over the pack, shattering the ice wolves' bodies and spilling a Mechanical Uterus slick with Colostrum—inside those miniature Peiyangcangs, three hundred silver‑haired embryos the size of grains of rice were twitching in unison. Xuan Yuanhao's Quantum Right Arm suddenly sprouted a suction‑cup structure, uncontrollably latching onto the nearest embryo.

"Don't look!" Ao Li's Inverse Scale detached and spun, carving a God‑slaying emblem in the void. Bathed in golden light, the embryo suddenly swelled into a Klein Bottle Structure, within which coiled the Residual Bodies of the Alliance from parallel timelines. Their laryngeal bones had been reengineered into music‑box springs, broadcasting intermittent screams through the nursing network.

####【Dimension Scar】

When the last ice wolf vaporized into Star Sand milk mist, the Ice Valley suddenly opened ten thousand Compound Eyes. Gongxu Yue's mechanical eye diagnosed terrifying data: along the retreat path, each footprint was exuding bronze‑colored Brain Fluid. These secretions etched the Nursing Emblem onto the frozen ground, providing spatial coordinates for the mother‑nest's birth‑channel rupture.

Lin Jin's Star Sand right hand plunged into the ice, and Nirvana Fire streamed backward along the emblem's veins. Within the flames burst scenes from the nursery seven years ago—inside the Tongfeng Guandao, the orphan list once hidden now swelled by Star Sand milk into loose pages of a 'Child‑Raising Manual.' Each page bore the nursing numbers on everyone's nape, and the torn sections leaked the fetal hair of the silver‑haired infants.

####【Residual Milk Walker】

The instant the Ice Valley was breached, Xuan Yuanhao's Quantum Right Arm suddenly carbonized into obsidian. The divine‑beast's essence blood solidified on the snow into a Taiyi God‑Slaying Formation, its perimeter crawling with the Nursing Emblem. Zixiao Real Person vomited a blood clot studded with gears, and within the Sword Qi reflected a terrifying prophecy: the nurturing crystals that had proliferated inside them had entered the final activation stage.

Ao Li's dragon horn exuded golden Colostrum, and where it dripped it solidified into a music‑box prototype. When the spring turned on its own, the aurora revealed the quantum fetal movements of a new divine embryo—those silver‑haired infants' umbilical cords were piercing Dimension Fissures, weaving the ultimate form of the nursing network into the roots of the Ice Soul Flower. At the end of each umbilical cord lay a connection to a Residual Body of Ao Li from some parallel timeline.

"This is not victory," Gongxu Yue's mechanical eye flashed a Scarlet Warning, "but a sacrifice for the expansion of the birth channel." She gazed toward the far end of the ice plain, where three hundred bronze umbilical cords were hanging from the Polaris Tower, their suction‑cup ends latched onto each survivor's nape. The faint glow of the Ice Soul Flower flickered in the blizzard, as if the mother‑nest were sneering with a pupil.
