Chapter 505: Mysterious Visitor

The landing pad's gravity anchor suddenly failed, and the black spacecraft pierced the quantum shield like a ghost. Ao Li's Dragon Scale sensed the abnormal fluctuation, and the upright pupil of the sword hilt reflected the emblem on the intruder's battle armor—a twisted Star Nebula pattern, which was identical to the fuel depot's mutated mechanical Uttara.

###**1. Inverse Light Battle Armor**

The Mysterious Leader's visor automatically contracted, revealing a half‑mechanical face. His left eye was a rotating Galaxy disc, and black blood fuel flowed beneath the skin of his right cheek. "We are the Zeroers," he lightly tapped the void with his fingertip, projecting an image of 9527 modifying an ancient god embryo in a dark Star Nebula, "He stole the seed of illusion."

A technician suddenly shouted, the monitoring screen displayed that the intruder's battle armor's energy signature was of the same origin as the black blood leaking from the fuel depot. Even stranger, when they moved, the ground briefly showed corrosive marks shaped like infant footprints, each footprint's center embedded with a tiny Uttara.

###**2. Fetal Movement Resonance**

Ao Li's Dragon Horn suddenly tingled, and she saw the Zeroers' Uttara tattoo on the back of their neck pulsing. In the laboratory's Holographic Projection, the symbols left by 9527 automatically reassembled into the same Star Nebula Zhengtong as the intruder's battle armor. One symbol suddenly burst, and the splashed black blood solidified in the air into a fetal electrocardiogram—its Pinqü perfectly synchronized with the brainwaves of a Star Sea fetus.

"You are also feeding it!" Ao Li swept Sword Qi across, but it was absorbed by the leader's battle armor. Black blood seeped from the armor's seams, coalescing into 9527's phantom: "Senior sister, haven't you realized? The Observer is the greatest virus."

###**3. Umbilical Key**

The Zeroers suddenly knelt on one knee in unison, their spines extending luminous neural cords that interwove in the air to form a Star Chart. The technical team, horrified, discovered that this Star Chart was exactly the base's underground pipe network, and the fuel depot's location corresponded to the ancient god fetus's throat passage.

The leader tore open his chest armor, revealing a pulsating black blood core within a mechanical cavity. Engraved on the core's surface was Ao Li's Gene Sequence: "Every Observer is a living key; the Inverse Scale in your Dragon Horn is the switch that initiates the final birth."

###**4. Twin Reflections**

The laboratory's cipher symbols suddenly activated, surging through the Tongfeng Guandao into the landing pad. When the symbols contacted the Zeroers' battle armor, all intruders instantly shed their human forms, turning into flowing black blood effigies. Ao Li's sword tip pierced the leader's heart, but only caused ripples of Liquid Metal—inside the effigies were 9527's Clone embryos.

"Time's up." All embryos opened their eyes in unison, their mechanical prosthetic eyes projecting a doomsday scene: Ao Li's Dragon Horn pierced the forehead of the Star Sea fetus, the ancient god's umbilical cord coursed through her blood vessels, dragging the entire universe into a newly formed black hole.

###**5. Observation Endgame**

The base suddenly fell into absolute darkness, all light sources compressed into Uttara buds. When Ao Li's Inverse Scale flew out of her body uncontrollably, she finally saw the truth—embroidered on the lining of the Zeroers' battle armor was the founding emblem of the Observer organization. Black blood surged from all directions, encasing her in a cocoon.

Before her consciousness faded, Ao Li heard a duet: 9527's laughter and the ancient god fetus's wail. Her retina's final image showed that all the Zeroers on the landing pad had turned into their own clones, and at the far end of the Star Chart, Ai Lin was cradling a Star Sea fetus, displaying the same mechanical smile as 9527.
