"Fascinating," Selena whispered, her analysis revealing enhancement methodologies that incorporated systematic exploitation of pain and fear energies at scales that paralleled their own developmental approaches. "Your physiology demonstrates optimization through suffering that suggests exposure to torture techniques specifically designed to strengthen resistance capabilities."

Her blood integration achieved deeper penetration through cellular manipulation that operated beyond his defensive comprehension, creating biological connections that could potentially access memory fragments despite psychological fortification. The process incorporated vampiric capabilities that weaponized the fundamental experiences of conscious existence itself.

The commander’s enhanced consciousness detected the biological infiltration with alarm that transcended his tactical training, recognizing violation methodologies that exceeded anything his military preparation had anticipated. His psychological defenses began systematic reinforcement through techniques that incorporated willpower amplification beyond normal resistance parameters.

Selena’s predatory smile revealed appreciation for opponents whose defensive sophistication provided genuine challenge to her interrogation capabilities. Her enhanced perception detected the strengthening psychological barriers with analysis that registered both tactical obstacle and opportunities for systematic exploitation through alternative methodologies.

"Your resistance demonstrates admirable development," Selena observed, her voice carrying genuine respect that mixed with anticipatory satisfaction, "but your consciousness contains vulnerabilities that my centuries of experience have learned to exploit with precision that transcends normal torture limitations."

Her blood manipulation shifted focus from direct biological assault to systematic exploitation of emotional resonance patterns that connected memory storage to fundamental psychological experiences. The technique incorporated vampiric integration that weaponized love, loss, and fear at scales that operated beyond conscious defensive capabilities.

Through biological connection, Selena detected memory fragments that revealed hierarchical organization within the Ebon Dominion’s territorial structure. Images of massive citadels emerged from his consciousness, revealing architectural systems that operated through enhancement methodologies that exceeded anything they had previously encountered.

[MEMORY EXTRACTION: 15% COMPLETE] [INTELLIGENCE GATHERED: TERRITORIAL ORGANIZATION CONFIRMED] [PRIORITY TARGET: COMMAND STRUCTURE ANALYSIS]

The memory fragments revealed entities whose enhancement had achieved exponential development through systematic conquest of dimensional territories that existed beyond system constraints. Their military organization incorporated hierarchical power distribution that paralleled Lucas’s own territorial development, suggesting civilizational sophistication that transcended regional limitations.

But as Selena extracted deeper memory layers, her enhanced perception detected something that transformed tactical interest into genuine fascination. The commander’s consciousness contained imagery of an enhanced individual whose presence dominated the Ebon Dominion’s command structure with authority that exceeded even their military sophistication.

A female entity materialized within extracted memories, her enhancement revealing development that incorporated systematic exploitation of dimensional manipulation at scales that transcended anything Selena had previously encountered. Her power signatures suggested integration with forces that existed beyond system limitations, while her tactical coordination implied military experience gained through conflicts that had shaped dimensional development itself.

The Ebon Queen.

Her enhancement operated through methodologies that weaponized spatial instability, temporal manipulation, and reality distortion at scales that approached Lucas’s own corruption-enhanced capabilities. The memory fragments revealed tactical brilliance that incorporated every aspect of conquest methodology their civilization had refined through dimensional expansion campaigns.

"Magnificent," Selena whispered, her voice carrying fascination that mixed worship intensity with genuine appreciation for entities whose development had achieved scales worthy of her King’s attention. "Your Queen demonstrates enhancement that transcends normal leadership limitations. Her capabilities suggest exponential power accumulation through conquest methodologies that parallel our own developmental approaches."

The commander’s psychological defenses detected Selena’s shifted focus with alarm that revealed protective instincts specifically calibrated for his Queen’s security. His enhanced consciousness prepared for desperate resistance protocols that could potentially compromise his own survival to protect intelligence regarding her tactical capabilities.

"You will learn nothing of Her Majesty," the commander declared, his voice carrying devotion that incorporated every aspect of loyalty his enhancement had refined. "Queen Vex’ahlia’s power exceeds your comprehension, and her conquest methodologies operate beyond anything your primitive consciousness can accommodate."

Queen Vex’ahlia.

Selena’s blood integration surged with enhanced intensity as she detected the devotion resonance that connected the commander’s consciousness to his Queen’s influence. The psychological connection revealed worship patterns that transcended normal military loyalty, suggesting enhancement methodologies that incorporated systematic exploitation of devotion itself.
