“Lexie, sign your name here and give up the inheritance your da left you. I’ll let you go. Deal?” A cold voice threatened

At the edge of the cliff, Lexie Goodwin, in a plain school uniform was forced to the ground as someone gripped her shoulders tightly.

Standing across from her were two women dressed in fancy cloes.

One was her stepmother, Melody Goodwin, and the other was he stepsister, Jaqueline Goodwin.

Lexie lost her birth mother when she was young. After her father remarried, Melody moved into their house with her own daughter, Jaqueline. Now that Lexie’s father was gone, every bit his inheritance had ended up in Lexie’s hands.

When Melody and Jaqueline got wind of this, they were bitter as hell. They had Lexie snatched and dragged out here, trying to force her to give up everything her father had left her.

Lexie, battered and bruised from their torment, looked up at the twisted expressions of Melody and Jaqueline. She shot them a cold smile. In a split second when they weren’t watching he spun around and threw herself off the cliff.

Even if she had to donate everything after she was gone, she’d never let those two snakes get their hands on her inheritance.

Lexie’s father hadn’t died by accident but was murdered by Melly and Jaqueline. After she was kidnapped, Lexie triggered the tracker she’d hidden on herself, and it sent out a distress signal on its own.

And with that alert, the evidence of Melody and Jaqueline’s crime had already been sent out too.

She had no family left in this world. Besides, she was stuck with an incurable disease. If she kept living, her days would just

more agony.

be

Honestly, if life was going to be this miserable, she’d rather just end it herself.

She was going to use her own death to make sure Melody and Jaqueline paid an even heavier price for what they’d done.

As her consciousness faded, Lexie couldn’t help but wonder if she could see her father again in her next life.

She murmured, “Dad, I miss you.”

In the Aetalaca Era, Lilith Graham, the very last female in the Atherion Interstellar Zone, lived to be 1,072 years old. At 6:45 this morning, she died from the Clyssia Virus.J

[From today on, there won’t be a single female left in the entire Netherion Interstellar Zone.]

[The bitter winter of the Aetalaca Era is coming.]

In the living room, Marshal Austin Drake listened to the obituars on his Optic Brain, a communication device widely used in this world. His heart ached, and his face was grim.

The very last female in the Aetherion Interstellar Zone had truly passed away.

With no females left, the genetic chain was doomed to collapse. Doomsday had finally come for everyone.

“Marshal Drake, Dr. Cole is here, the butler reported.

Hearing the butler’s report, Austin spoke with a cold edge to his ice, “Let him in

Seeing that Austin was clearly in a bad mood, the butler didn’t dare say another word. He simply slipped out to bring Arthur Cole inside.

When Arthur finally walked in, Austin turned around and took a good look at him.

Arthur’s face looked tired, but there was still a stubborn strength in his features. His eyes betrayed a grief he couldn’t quite hide. He was the best doctor in the Aetherion Interstellar Zone, but even he hadn’t been able to save Lilith.

“Marshal Drake, I…” Arthur began to say, his voice hoarse and heavy with emotion.

He hesitated, not sure what to say to Austin, the man who was more than just his boss, but the guardian of the entire Aetherion Interstellar Zone.

After all, just a month ago, Arthur had sworn to Austin that he’d definitely find a way to save Lilith.

“Arthur, tell me, is there really no cure for the Clyssia Virus? It’s stolen the people we care about most. And now, it’s taken Ms. Graham from us.

“Ms. Graham was the last glimmer of hope for all of us in the Aetherion Interstellar Zone. Now that she’s gone, it feels like every bit of hope we had just vanished with her.”

Arthur replied, “I’m sorry, Marshal Drake. The Clyssia Virus is just too strong. It only hurts females. We’ve tried everything, but nothing worked.

“I’m really sorry. I–I really can’t do anything about it.

“But we’ve already developed artificial female bots. Even just a bit of contact with them can really help calm down the beastmen’s genetic issues.

“And on top of that, we’ve rolled out a new generation of Genesis Pods that can cut down on gene disorders in newborn beastmen.”

Austin asked, “Is it really impossible to bring a female to life in the Genesis Pods?”

Arthur replied, “Yeah. The Clyssia Virus is everywhere and too strong to fight. Even if we keep them in isolation from the moment they’re created, they still don’t survive once they’re out

“Not a single female has ever made it out of the Genesis Pods alie, no matter what we tried.”

I’m sorry, Marshal. I let you down.”

Hearing that, the young marshal shut his eyes, feeling completely hopeless.

Ever since the Clyssia Virus ravaged the Aetherion Interstellar Zne two thousand years ago, it had been wiping out every last female.

They tried everything, but nothing ever worked.

Now, the Genesis Pods help keep the numbers up, but the beastmen born from them all lack female genes. From the moment they were born, they were stuck with genetic disorders hat would doom them to a lifetime of pain.

With Lilith gone, it felt like the last shred of hope had been ripped away. Everyone was drowning in despair.

With no females left, the Aetherion Interstellar Zone was doom for real now.

“Marshal, Ms. Graham’s funeral is set for Dora Planet. Her last wish was to feel the fresh air after she was gone, so her spirit could be set free,” Arthur said.

“Alright, we’ll do it on Dora Planet then. I’ll be there in three days for Ms. Graham’s funeral,” Austin replied.

Three days later, on the blossom–filled Dora Planet, after everyone had paid their last respects to Lilith, they all boarded the starcruiser for the journey home.

On the way back, all the beastmen were silent.

At a moment like this, nothing anyone said could change a thing

The last female in the Aetherion Interstellar Zone was gone. With her passing, the beastmen’s doomsday was slowly but surely approaching.

Just as the starcruiser was about to take off, Arthur hurried over, looking anxious.

“Wait. This is Ms. Graham’s favorite piece of jewelry. I have to place it at her grave myself,” he said urgently.

“Alright, let’s wait a bit longer.” Austin glanced at the beautiful jewelry in Arthur’s hand, his voice heavy.

As he watched Arthur hurry off the starcruiser, Austin, who hadn’t slept well in days, could only head back to his quarters to rest for a while.

But the moment he stepped inside, something felt off. He frowned, sensing something was wrong.

‘Did someone come into my room?‘ he wondered.
