I might not be able to come in to see you like this again.

Qi Ye looked at her, put away his frivolous manner, and nodded: "Continue, but I have a request."

"You said."

"After you leave, don't feel sorry for yourself."

Some things, I chose for myself. Having died so many times, I've long since come to terms with it.

"I'm already very fortunate to be able to stand here and joke with you."

Fu Xuan looked at the person in front of him who was comforting him instead, reached out and tapped his forehead.

"Then remember, if you can't hold out in the formation, call my name."

Does calling your name have any special effect?

"Yes." Fu Xuan withdrew his hand, his figure beginning to fade. "I'll come in and rescue you."

Qiye stood there and touched her forehead.

"I'm calling your name..." He smiled. "Okay. Got it."

……

As the white mist dissipated, Qi Ye was no longer greeted with some absurd and speechless way of dying.

He suddenly felt that he was surrounded by a small space and that he was fixed in place by some kind of soft restraints, and he could not exert any force with his hands and feet.

Liquid surged in from all directions, soaking his entire body.

"Where...where is this?"

Just then, several voices came from behind.

"Are you really going to choose this person of unknown origin as your first test subject?"

The man's voice sounded tired, as if they had been arguing for a long time.

The other voice was younger:

"This is already the best option."

Rather than selecting inferior samples that won't survive the first stage, it's better to use someone who is naturally suited to take on the role.

This body is practically the perfect vessel.

"container……?"

Qi Ye frowned in the cabin, not quite understanding what memory this was.

"Fine. Since it's your choice, let's begin."

The man who had been the first to give in relented and asked again.

What name are you planning to give him?

The young voice did not hesitate at all.

Titania.

Chapter 212 Holy crap, I'm an empress?

"Titania?...Who's that? Do I know her?"

Qi Ye was soaking in the nutrient solution, somewhat dazed, and tried to recall, but couldn't remember anything.

He could only stand by like an outsider, watching blankly as a group of researchers outside worked tirelessly.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on an even more terrifying sealed incubation chamber not far away.

There was a gigantic worm floating inside.

It was ridiculously large, with layers of black, hard shell, and its segmented body was grotesque and taut.

Even when submerged in a sealed chamber, its body still exudes a powerful vitality.

What kind of insect is this?

"The extraction of the mother worm's gene fragments has been completed, and the purity meets the standards."

"Ready, begin xenogeneic grafting, prepare to inject into the experimental subject—Titania."

"Titania?!"

Qi Ye almost didn't realize his new name. It seemed that there was no other living test subject here besides him!

He didn't even have time to open his mouth and say "wait" before he was injected.

Fortunately, it's just a memory, and Qiye can look at it from an outsider's perspective.

Otherwise, it would be excruciatingly painful, and it looks disgusting; he actually got shot inside by a bug.

What a sin!

"The rate of heterogeneous gene fusion is 3%...7%...12%..."

"Vital signs fluctuate wildly, but remain stable!"

There are no signs of collapse!

"Keep the pressure on and continue the fusion! Don't stop!"

I don't know how much time passed.

Suddenly, a burst of jubilant shouts erupted outside.

"Success!! 100% fusion rate!! Perfectly compatible!!"

"A first ever! A single graft resulted in a perfect fit!"

"All 37 previous cases suffered mental breakdowns, and 21 cases had body dissolution!"

Everything was destroyed! Only he! Only Titania succeeded!!

The entire laboratory instantly erupted in excitement.

"Operation Iron Cavalry was a success!"

"Our Republic of Grammer is saved!"

Some people were so excited they were trembling, while others knelt down and prayed with tears in their eyes.

A group of researchers embraced each other, trembling, as if they had witnessed a miracle of turning the tide in a desperate situation.

Qi Ye was soaking in the nutrient solution, staring blankly into space.

"Holy shit!"

"Project Iron Cavalry... The Republic of Grammer... Universal Insect Plague..."

Fragments of memory instantly strung together to form a complete line.

He finally realized what was happening.

Isn't this the origin of Firefly and her group of Molten Iron Cavalry?!

He looked down at his familiar figure in the nutrient solution, his lips twitching.

"So I'm the first Primarch to perfectly fuse with Zerg genes?! I'm the original Ironclad?!"

"So all of Liu Ying's iron cavalry are my juniors?!"

He realized it belatedly.

"Wait, does that mean I'm their empress?"

Qiye looked down to check her body:

"But I haven't changed, I'm still a man!"

Does this mean there are no empresses, only emperors?

His mind was full of questions, and before he could figure out the absurd situation, the memories in front of him had already automatically moved forward.

The screen changes.

The laboratory has entered the mass production cloning stage.

Countless brand-new incubation chambers are neatly arranged, and a continuous stream of gene sequences are being imported and replicated.

But as a result, they failed time and time again.

The first batch of embryos disintegrated.

The second batch suffered a break in the spiritual chain.

The third batch died in the capsule.

The atmosphere in the laboratory became completely subdued.

The researcher in charge of coordination slammed his fist on the table, his face full of frustration:

"Where exactly did the problem go?! The Titanian Primarch's genes are flawless!"

Fusion rate 100%! Why did all batch cloning fail?!

Someone spoke up:

"Perhaps because the original species was male."

"The genetic system and reproductive replication mechanism of the global mother worm are all built upon the female food chain."

"There is a fundamental conflict between the chromosomes and body structure of the male protozoan and the female reproductive system."

"It's a perfect fit for a single user, but it can't be replicated in batches. Forcibly cloning it will only render it useless."

"Useless body..."

Someone pressed on urgently:

"What do we do now?! We finally created the perfect Primarch, is the Iron Rider Project going to get stuck at the mass production stage?!"

Grammer is waiting for these weapons to fend off the insect plague!

The man said without any change in expression:

"I have a way."

"We have preserved Titania's core genetic chain, including all core sequences such as Swarm Adaptation, Mental Network, and Deentropy Shackles."

"Introduce a stable female matching sample to replace the original reproductive and physical reproduction sequence."

“Using the core ability genes of male Titania, combined with a stable female body template, we reassembled the cloning blueprint.”

Everyone suddenly realized.

"So... all the subsequent Iron Cavalry units were products of dual-gene splicing?!"

"Correct."

"They inherited all of Titania's combat talents and collective consciousness."

"It possesses a stable female body, perfectly adapted to the queen system, and will no longer experience clonal disintegration."

Qi Ye was stunned by this amazing person's statement.

It took him a long time to process this outrageous truth.

"So that's how it is... No wonder Firefly still looks the same."

"This guy is really clever. I thought he was going to solve the problem at its root and change my gender."

Qi Ye rubbed her face, forcing herself to calm down:

"Alright, I'm pretty awesome for being able to perfectly suppress even the genes of the Cosmic Queen."

The memories continue to flow.

Countless brand-new incubation pods lit up one after another.

One after another, the iron cavalry warriors awoke.

They were connected one by one to the global mental health network.

Qiye just watched quietly.
