로그인Nick and Ariana stood side by side inside the bright white chamber. The heavy steel door behind them remained tightly shut. Outside, everyone pounded on the door, but no sound reached them. The walls were too thick. The large screen flickered again. Samuel Carter looked directly at them. He seemed calm, but his eyes carried deep sadness. "If you are seeing this, then Richard has reached Genesis.""I prayed this day would never come."Ariana took a slow step toward the screen. "Dad..."Nick gently held her hand. "We're listening."Samuel nodded as if he could somehow hear them. "Nick, Ariana, before I explain Genesis, you must know one thing.""Your parents were never enemies."Ariana frowned. "What?"Samuel continued. "Richard spent years spreading lies.""He wanted both families divided.""He knew united families were stronger than any weapon."Nick looked at Ariana. "So everything started with lies."Samuel nodded on the screen. "Yes.""Richard feared loyalty more than money.""He c
The blue light remained fixed on Nick. A soft humming sound echoed from the launch site as the scanner continued studying him. Every person in the clearing stood perfectly still. Nick looked at the glowing beam on his chest. "What is happening?"The electronic voice answered at once. "Secondary genetic profile verified.""Access level two accepted."Richard Ashford took one slow step backward. For the first time since the battle began, confidence disappeared from his face. "No.""That cannot be right."Claire quickly turned back to the control panel. The screens had completely changed. The red warning messages were gone. New words appeared across the monitor. PRIMARY KEY: ARIANA CARTER. SECONDARY KEY: NICHOLAS ASHFORD. Claire's eyes widened. "Nick really is the second key."David let out a slow breath. "I finally remember."Nick looked at him. "Remember what?"David walked closer. "Samuel came to me one night before Genesis was hidden.""He said one bloodline was too dangerous.""So h
Nick stared at Ariana through the thick glass. Her hands trembled as she held the old photograph. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but she did not wipe them away. "No."His voice was firm. "I don't care what your father wrote.""You are not dying."Ariana looked at him with pain in her eyes. "My father knew this day would come.""He left this message because he knew there would be no other way."Nick shook his head again. "He was wrong.""There is always another way."The electronic voice echoed inside the cage. "Final authorization sequence will begin in three minutes."A red countdown appeared above Ariana. 02:59. Claire looked at the control panel. "The system is moving faster."Daniel stood beside her. "Can you stop it?"She quickly typed several commands. Every screen flashed red. "Access denied."She tried another code. Again, the system rejected it. Claire hit the keyboard in frustration. "It's blocking every command."Victor walked over. "What about shutting off the power?"Clair
The blue light inside the glass cage became brighter. Thin beams slowly moved across Ariana's face and body as if they were scanning every part of her. She stepped back in fear. "What is this?"The electronic voice answered immediately. "Identity verification in progress.""Please remain still.""I don't want this!"She hit the glass with both hands. Nothing happened. The cage did not even shake. Outside, Nick slammed his fist against the thick glass again. "Ariana!""Can you hear me?"She nodded quickly. "I'm here.""I can't get out."Nick searched for any weak point, but the cage was built from thick metal and reinforced glass. He grabbed a fallen rifle and struck the glass as hard as he could. The sound echoed through the clearing. The glass remained perfect. Not even a small crack appeared. Daniel ran over to help him. "We'll break it."The two men struck the cage again and again. It refused to break. Claire rushed back to the control panel. "There has to be an emergency release."
The ground continued shaking beneath their feet. The giant steel structure slowly rose from the earth, breaking through rocks and thick tree roots. Dust filled the air as everyone watched in horror. Nick held Ariana close. "What is that?"No one answered immediately. Even Julian looked stunned. Evelyn slowly stepped forward, her eyes fixed on the massive structure. "It can't be."Victor stood beside her. "I thought every launch site was destroyed."Evelyn shook her head. "So did I."The steel doors on top of the structure slowly opened. A loud mechanical sound echoed across the clearing. Deep inside, rows of bright lights came to life. Richard Ashford smiled as if he were watching a beautiful show. "You spent years looking for hidden bunkers.""You never thought to look beneath them."David's face turned pale. "Richard...""What have you done?"Richard calmly looked at him. "I finished what we started."David shook his head. "No.""We stopped that project."Richard laughed softly. "Yo
The entire clearing fell into silence. Nick could not take his eyes off the man standing in the helicopter doorway. The stranger had the same dark hair. The same sharp eyes. The same face. It was like looking into a mirror. Only one difference stood out. The stranger smiled with complete confidence, while Nick stood frozen in shock. Ariana slowly tightened her grip on Nick's hand. "Nick..."He barely heard her. His voice came out as a whisper. "Who are you?"The man jumped down from the helicopter and landed smoothly on the ground. Several masked soldiers followed him, spreading out around the clearing. They carried weapons, but none of them fired. The stranger looked at Nick with great interest. "I've waited a long time for this."Nick frowned. "You called me your brother.""I did.""I don't have a brother."The man chuckled. "That is what they wanted you to believe."David suddenly stepped forward. His injured shoulder was still bleeding, but he ignored the pain. "Stay away from him
