A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1169 Clone
Othinus easily defeated the Right Flame, but she seemed to have other plans, so instead of killing it, she chose to take it with her.

When Orelus turned his head, he saw the black dwarf stuffing the fire on the right into the black barrel.

With Fire on the Right as his partner, Orelus certainly couldn't stand by and watch him be captured by the enemy.

However, having achieved her goal, Othinus had no intention of continuing the entanglement. She waved her staff, parted the space, blocked Orelus, and then calmly left with her subordinates and spoils.

……

The scene before my eyes shifted, and the scenery changed in the blink of an eye.

This wasn't the first time they'd seen a similar scene, so none of the group, including Bercy, showed any particular expression.

“This is an unexpected bonus,” Euthinus said, turning to look at the throwing hammer.

Everyone else present knew that she was referring to the Right Fire, which was trapped inside the Throwing Hammer.

"The original plan remains unchanged. Next, we'll go find that Valkyrie," Othinus said. "Let's finish this quickly."

……

On the other side, watching the demon god Othinus cast a spell and leave right before his eyes, Orelus was powerless to do anything.

Moreover, Othinus did not simply move away; in order to completely eliminate the possibility of Orelels continuing to entangle her, she also created a large number of violent explosions as she left.

Orelus gave up the pursuit. Although he was powerful, he was not yet a demon god. There were many things that a demon god could do, but he could not...

Even if he manages to catch up, the enemy will surely have already moved to another location.

Moreover, Euthinus's act of capturing rather than killing the right-hand fire made him even more uneasy.

Looking back now, Euthinus's goal was probably the right-hand fire from the very beginning.

What exactly was that omnipotent demon god planning? Orelus had no way of knowing, but he knew that it could not possibly be a good thing.

He originally intended to maintain order in the post-war turmoil by bringing the Right Fire team along, but now he has discovered that an even more urgent situation is unfolding.

The opponent is a true demon god, which cannot be solved by fighting alone.

So, given the current situation, who else can help?

Lin Wuming—this name immediately popped into Orelers' mind.

But then he shook his head, realizing that Lin Wuming was still not strong enough to face a demon god.

The battle just now proved that even the Right Fire was defeated and captured without any chance to fight back, so Lin Wuming's performance will not be any better.

It is said that in the superpower system, above level 5 there is an even higher level 6 "absolute power" - if Lin Wuming were to advance to this level, he might be qualified to fight against the demon god.

At that moment, Sylvia rushed over from afar and saw the mess everywhere and Eurels's heavy expression: "You encountered a powerful enemy? Was it the demon god Othinus?"

Orelels nodded.

“Tsk, too late,” Sylvia said.

Because she needs to balance this job with her main job, Sylvia has been traveling back and forth these past few days.

But O'Reilly felt it didn't matter if he arrived a little late.

After all, even with the addition of a saint, the final outcome of the battle would likely have been the same. "What's next?" Sylvia asked. "Rescue Right Flame?"

“We definitely need to save them,” O’Reilly said, “but not now… there are more important things to do first.”

"What is it?"

“Go to Academy City and find Lin Wuming,” O'Reilly said.

Lin Wuming may indeed be no match for the Demon God now, but he still needs to be informed of what has happened here. Academy City is a major power in the world today, and if we really want to fight against the Demon God Othinus, we must win their support.

Moreover, besides Lin Wuming, who is the apparent representative, Academy City also has that mysterious chairman—who is perhaps the one who can truly be trusted now.

……

"...In order to contend with the Demon God, becoming a Level 6 is the most realistic solution," said Chairman Aleister. "Your conditions are ripe, and you can move on to the next step. I will fully support you."

"Now that you mention it..." Lin Wuming revealed a subtle expression.

In fact, Lin Wuming has been actively preparing to further improve his strength—in a sense, to advance to level 6.

The "experiment" that Misaki Shokuhou and Ellie are preparing is the most crucial part of it.

However, the fact that Chairman Aleister suddenly expressed his full support made Lin Wuming hesitate.

Aleister was a partner, but Lin Wuming never considered him as "one of his own" whom he could unconditionally trust.

As the saying goes, you must oppose what your enemy supports. Although Aleister was not exactly an enemy, Lin Wuming was just as wary of him as he was of an enemy.

"Well... there are still some issues to resolve. Until then, I think it's better to be more cautious," Lin Wuming said.

“Lin Wuming, are you worried about being corrupted by your own abilities, losing your humanity while gaining power?” Chairman Aleister said.

Aleister's voice came from the left rear, and it was getting closer and closer, as if someone was talking as they approached...

This was no illusion. Lin Wuming turned his head and saw Aleister, who was wearing a white coat, standing there.

Lin Wuming quickly turned around and glanced again at the huge test tube—inside there was indeed an Aleister suspended upside down in the liquid.

Inside the giant test tube, Aleister stared calmly at Lin Wuming and his other self.

"A clone?" Lin Wuming said.

In fact, Lin Wuming had long known that the Chairman of Aleister had countless possibilities and countless different forms.

But when he witnessed this scene with his own eyes, he still couldn't hide his surprise—not because Aleister had a clone, but because he actually revealed this secret to him directly...

“As you can see, this is another version of me.” Aleister outside spread his arms as if to show himself off. “The word ‘clone’ is more accurate. It’s good that you don’t think of me as a clone.”

As he spoke, Aleister walked up to the giant test tube and greeted his other self inside.

“Look, we are the same person, but we can also be seen as two different individuals. We are both Aleister, but our personalities, interests, and skills are different…”

Turning around, both Aleisters looked at Lin Wuming simultaneously: "Lin Wuming, I can teach you how to separate your own possibilities—that is, the technique of creating clones."

“The problem of loss of humanity that you are worried about can be addressed by creating a separate clone to handle it. As for you, you can perfectly avoid the problem… In fact, even if the experiment fails, as long as there is a clone, there is a possibility of starting over,” Aleister suggested.
