"And I."

"You CMG deserve to die the most!"

"Aminos, I'm going to explode with you!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Karin curled up in pain, digging her fingers deep into the metal floor.

Her screams no longer sounded like human voices, but more like the echoes of some psychic energy on the verge of collapse.

In an instant——

Dark blue and deep purple spiritual energy radiated from her body, like a nuclear explosion that had been suppressed to the extreme.

The light first condensed into a point, and then exploded with a loud bang!

"boom--!"

The violent psychic storm instantly engulfed the space within a radius of dozens of meters. The metal walls were torn into pieces like paper and vaporized in the high temperature.

Yet, the destruction was eerily precise.

The energy suddenly converged at the critical point when it was about to affect the upper and lower floors, otherwise countless areas of the shelter would have been destroyed in this out-of-control situation.

When the last of the psychic halo dissipated, the girl was still curled up in the same place, her slender body like a broken doll.

With her as the center, a biting chill was spreading silently.

Strange frost patterns formed on the metal ground, the moisture in the air instantly condensed into tiny ice crystals, and the temperature dropped exponentially.

……

"what's the situation?"

"My Lord," Albert's voice trembled slightly. "We don't know. There was no warning, it just exploded suddenly."

Wop's brows suddenly tightened.

For the past two months, he and the twins have been spending time in the laboratory and library to complete the genetic experiments left by Dr. Ivan.

Who would have thought that an explosion would occur on the 71st floor.

If it was a bomb explosion, it would at most be considered a terrorist attack.

But there were still ripples of psychic energy in the air, which was more like an explosion caused by psychic awakening.

"It happened to be Karin."

It was the girl who always stood quietly behind him, following him with burning eyes.

There was no sign at all, why did he wake up for no reason?

Wop sighed deeply, but did not stop, and walked straight towards the girl.

Albert hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "My Lord! Please stop, it's very dangerous there!"

They had already discovered Karin, and some had tried to approach her.

However, the temperature around her was too low. Anyone who stepped within thirty meters of her would be instantly attacked by the biting cold, and their blood would almost freeze.

Hypothermia is a side effect of psychic powers.

But the temperature around Karin was clearly abnormally low, enough to freeze the flesh and blood of a mortal.

The extreme cold tried to erode Wop, but was repelled by the power of the same origin.

As the distance shortened, Wop finally saw Karin's appearance clearly.

Her entire body was sealed in the crystal ice; her long eyelashes, slightly parted lips, and even her flowing blue hair were all frozen.

The thin layer of ice reflected a strange blue-purple iridescence under the psychic light.

But when the blue reflected her face, she looked like a sleeping princess.

But when the purple reflected on her face, she looked like a sacrificial offering.

Fulgrim folded his wings and landed gently in front of the girl, his fingers lightly touching the ice. "Sister Karin is still alive."

Sanguinius: "But her heartbeat is growing fainter."

If a normal person is frozen into an ice sculpture, there is no possibility of survival.

But Karin was the source of this extremely cold psychic vortex. If she died, this power would have dissipated long ago.

The psychic power caused the disaster, but it also sustained her life.

Wop's palm slowly placed itself over the girl's frozen cheek, a pale blue halo of psychic energy emanating from his fingertips. Like melting snow, the light neutralized the eerie iridescence beneath the ice, and the crystal cluster silently crumbled.

However, even when the last wisp of ice crystal melted, Wop held her in his arms, and all he felt was the biting cold.

Karin's face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and there was no trace of blood under her skin.

Her chest rose and fell only very slightly, and each breath was as shallow as a dying candle, which could dissipate in the cold air at any time.

……

Karin's long eyelashes trembled as she opened them, and what came into her eyes was an unfamiliar pure white.

Her confused thoughts struggled to restart. Where was this?

"you're awake."

The familiar voice instantly pierced through the fog, and surprise instinctively appeared on Karin's pale face, but turned into panic the next second.

"My Lord... I... I was wrong..." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's, and her fingertips unconsciously clutched the sheets.

"What's wrong?"

"I...I seem to..." Her eyes quickly turned red and her voice began to tremble, "I got into a terrible disaster..."

"It's not your fault." Wop's gentle voice was filled with irresistible authority. "But you must tell me what happened."

Karin's memory still lingers on that ordinary morning.

She was tidying up Wop's room when a sharp pain stirred in her mind and her heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand.

The pain made her curl up on the ground, and then there was endless darkness.

While her consciousness was hazy, she seemed to see a strange light bursting out from all around her.

The violent psychic energy swept out like a raging wave, razing the entire building complex to the ground.

"Did everyone... were all... killed by me?" Karin's pale lips trembled, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks.

"There are no victims of this disaster except you."

The purebloods always held Wop in awe, and no one dared to live in his sanctuary.

And because of Karin's slight capriciousness towards power, all the houses within a few hundred meters around were designated as sanctuaries.

Wop strictly forbids anyone from taking more than he deserves, but Karin insists on taking more than he deserves in the name of God, thinking that this way she can attract Wop's attention.

But the residents did not think it was wrong. Instead, they thought the sanctuary was supposed to be so grand, and no one would complain to Wop.

Woppe remained completely oblivious to this.

"Karin," Wop called her name in a rare, slow tone. "Although there were no casualties in this incident, the impact was extremely severe!"

Karin's face turned pale instantly, and her slender fingers tightly grasped the bed sheet. Was she going to be abandoned?

"I can't let you go back. You will stay here temporarily until you fully master your psychic powers."

The despair in the girl's eyes suddenly disappeared, and then an incredible light bloomed.

"Is it really... possible?" Her voice trembled, as if she was afraid that this sudden gift would be shattered at any time.

"Stay here and relax. I will teach you how to control this gift."

My Lord teaches me personally?

This thought exploded in the girl's mind like a beam of light, and all her fear and humility were burned to ashes in an instant.

She even suspected that she was living in a dream, otherwise how could she receive such a nearly miraculous gift?

The corners of Karin's mouth were rising uncontrollably, but when she realized the presence of the angel, she tried desperately to suppress it, but it turned into a strange twitch.

"Strange big sister."

Fulgrim tilted his head slightly and said, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. Why hold it back? It's not like I can't see that you like my father."

In Fulgrim's opinion, it was as normal for Karin to like her father as it was for anyone who wanted to harm her father to die.

Sanguinius' voice suddenly echoed through the laboratory. "Dad, you should see this."

Karin's eyebrows unconsciously raised, and even her fingertips curled slightly in excitement.

This sudden joy made her whole body feel as if it were filled with warm light.

But just as she glanced around the room briskly, her gaze suddenly froze.

On the laboratory table in the corner, a transparent jar is quietly displayed.

There was some kind of liquid in it.

At least it looked like water.

Thirst water is too dangerous, and Wop will not leave it to an ordinary girl.

It's always been here.

"Look, it's right in front of you. What a dangerous thing it is, so fragile. Why not protect it well?"

She didn't know who was whispering in her mind.

Karin suddenly clutched the quilt to cover her face, almost curling herself up into a ball.

……

"Karin and Eve have a 99.9999999% genetic similarity."

Wop held the test report, and there was a rare pause in his voice.

If it is M3, the similarity of the entire human genome is as high as 99.99%, and the difference between individuals is only about 0.1%.

Even after five thousand years, the genetic similarity between descendants and ancestors is still close to the average level of all human beings.

But now it is M30, and the genetic similarity between people is only 25% or even lower!

If human genes are allowed to evolve naturally, only when the human race as a whole ascends to become a psychic race will human genes undergo convergent evolution.

By then, the genetic similarity between people will return to 99.9% like M3.

And Dr. Ivan, with his own strength, forcibly compressed the process of human ascension!

His experiments not only allow mutants' physical characteristics to be stably inherited, but even their genes can be stably inherited!

The genetic similarity of 99.9999999% means that even after five thousand years, Eve's genetic sequence is almost perfectly imprinted in every DNA helix of Karin, with only one base difference!

In the M3 era, this situation usually only occurred between twins and was an extremely rare event.

If this isn't a new human being, then what is it?

"Genius!"

Regardless of how Dr. Iven did it, he definitely deserves the praise.

Fulgrim's voice was filled with confusion. "Brother, why would you consider comparing Sister Karin's genes with Eve's?"

Sanguinius: "Because Sister Karin's awakening is no coincidence. The population base of Baal Sparta is insufficient to naturally produce a psyker, let alone one as powerful as Sister Karin. Five thousand years ago, there was only one Eve, and five thousand years later, there will only be Sister Karin."

"I didn't connect the two at first, but the laboratory happened to have Eve's genetic samples, so I sequenced and compared the two."

"I wanted to explore whether there was some special genetic connection between psykers, and whether this connection would cause psykers' genetic similarity to be significantly higher than that of mortals. However, the result was completely unexpected."

From a genetic point of view, this inference is valid.

The genetic similarity between the same sub-human population is indeed significantly higher than the differences between ordinary human individuals.

Because genetic mutations in subhuman populations have become stable, these fixed genetic characteristics will greatly increase the genetic homology within the group.

Psychic power is also a highly stable genetic mutation, and psychics are also considered a kind of sub-human, so there must be significant genetic convergence within the psychic group.

Therefore, psychic ascension will lead to convergent genetic evolution and eventually form a highly homologous psychic gene sequence.

But unless humans complete psychic ascension, the genetic sequences among psychics cannot be so outrageously high. The probability that Eve is Karin's ancestor is extremely high!

The reason why their genetic similarity is so high may be due to the awakening of psychic powers.
