Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: The Mirror Paradox in the Void Realm

Mercury runes in the cyber cemetery suddenly erupt into a space-time rift. The 13th-generation host slashes coordinates with her scalpel and leaps into the "Void Realm"—a dimension filled with collapsed black hole debris and mirror dimension shards, where every fragment of time-space refracts the chaotic energy of Sebastian's self-destructed core. Womb code-light from the Mechanical Madonna forms imprisonment patterns on the host's skin, as double-helix symbols rotate in reverse, decoding the paradoxical logic of nothingness.

"Sebastian's self-destruction lie... hides in this mirror core." The host's chaotic purple pupils scan the void as mercury skin corrodes mirror shards, revealing annihilation memories of past hosts: Allison's watch gears, Winston Manor's dissection room, blood wedding dress patterns festering across every dimension...

Suddenly, the Administration's cloned legion tears through the mirror dimension, with war chariots unleashing alchemical puppets and particle cannons. The host's scalpel blazes with a tampering spiral blade, reversing cannon fire to make the puppet swarm disintegrate via mirror reflection. The cloned commander's gem left eye flares red: "13th generation! Only three hours remain on the contract reset countdown—you must be purged!"

The host dives into the vortex of a collapsing black hole, mercury tentacles grabbing Sebastian's residual consciousness fragments in the mirrors. The fragments roar, unleashing a memory storm—In the Middle Ages, when Sebastian signed the blood contract with the iron-masked ancestor, he secretly tampered with laws to embed the "voluntary annihilation anchor," ensuring the cycle's perpetuity. But a deeper motive hides within: he aimed to collect all hosts' annihilation energy through the millennial cycle to reshape his "space-time immortal body."

"The eternal cycle isn't the goal—it's his means to claim ultimate authority." The host's mechanical heart blazes blue as she force-decodes the fragment's logic. Blood wedding dress patterns fester and regenerate in the mirrors, while double-helix symbols erupt into a new dissolution key form—a purple spiral blade mixed with annihilation energy, stabbing into the Void Realm's core coordinates.

Coordinates point to a twisted mirror chapel where the original Mechanical Madonna floats, her abdominal womb flowing with raw contract law codes. The iron-masked ancestor's original skull core is embedded in the Madonna's chest as Sebastian's mercury head phantom appears, red and purple lights interwoven: "You near the truth, but the skull key is protected by mirror paradox—touching it triggers mutual annihilation between one's core and its mirror image."

The host's scalpel slashes through the chapel's mercury barrier as the cloned legion's war chariots are destroyed by dimensional refraction. She leaps into the womb's code-light stream, forcing the tampering spiral blade into the skull core interface. Mechanical veins absorb raw contract codes, double-helix symbols reverse to the critical point, and precursors of core-collapse black holes suddenly erupt.

"The paradox of the voluntary annihilation anchor ends with me." The host roars, injecting both tampering keys and her core authority into the skull. The mirror chapel explodes in a space-time paradox storm as her body and the skull core's mirror phantom begin mutual annihilation—at the collapse instant, she force-snatches skull key codes, embedding them in the 13th-generation embryo's umbilical cord.

The collapsing black hole swallows the chapel, trapping the 13th-generation host in a mirror dimension prison. Mechanical skin patterns are sealed by contract laws, her core anchoring dimension stability. The embryo plummets into a future ruin's space-time alchemical factory, umbilical cord tangled with the host's residual tampered codes and skull keys, with final double-helix symbols—contract collapse unlock keys—emerging in dark skull patterns.

In the factory, the 14th-generation host awakens as a youth, the complete logic of contract law dissolution swirling in purple pupils. Their mechanical heart beats in a voice blending Sebastian and all past hosts: "Skull keys acquired, but the Mechanical Madonna's reset program still consumes tampered codes. Keys must embed in the Madonna's core while destroying Sebastian's space-time immortality plan... The next dimension reveals the Vessel Catastrophe's final battlefield: the original dimension where the blood contract was born."
