This brings to mind the classic mermaid question: Half-human, half-fish, which half do you want?

Nangong Xuan squatted down in front of the blonde girl and earnestly bargained: "Let's discuss it. I'll help you [reply]. The other half of your body is mine."

"Here you go, I'll give you everything! Lord Zero, please, save me..."

Huh, why doesn't it hurt anymore?

Frenda then realized that her pain had disappeared without her noticing. Otherwise, she would have been too weak to speak.

At this moment, a red bird appeared in Nangong Xuan's eyes. He had already used [Mental Control] to help the blonde girl overcome the pain of being cut in half at the waist. Her body was now as docile as a doll, completely under his control.

"Ping—"

Heal!

Chapter 059 Mugino Shizuri, Divided in Two

Nangong Xuan had always been curious whether [Reply] could cause humanity to split apart.

During his time working undercover at a hospital, he helped treat patients who had lost fingers. There was no need for a perfectly stitched reattachment; simply by "restoring" the wound, the missing limb would regenerate in a faint green light, and the severed finger would disappear like fragments.

This is not physical regeneration at all, but a miracle similar to time reversal!

Facing the blonde girl who had been cut in half at the waist, Nangong knew very well that if her upper body was restored, her lower body would disappear into thin air, and vice versa.

What if I simultaneously reply to Frenda, who is divided in two?

Nangong Xuan felt the improvement in his original skills. He should now be able to heal multiple targets simultaneously—group healing.

Just do it.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt in a little while."

Nangong Xuan pinched Flanda's cheek with one hand and grasped her black-stockinged legs with the other. Since it was a legitimate treatment, it wasn't considered blatant groping.

The horrifying operation of "Beautiful Girl Puzzle" was only watchable by the Dark Division, but Nangong remained calm and composed.

What kind of big scene hasn't a Warlock seen?

And just like that, the black-haired youth's left and right hands simultaneously released green light similar to [Atomic Collapse]. In less than five seconds, Frenda's delicate body was restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Resurrection from the dead?"

This scene deeply shocked Takitsubo and Kinuhata.

"My body...it's back in place?"

The blonde girl touched her bottom and then jumped up happily.

"As expected, I'm incredibly lucky! I was originally planning to entrust Fremia to someone else. But it seems I'll have to raise my adorable little sister myself..."

Frenda turned around and saw the "sister" she had longed for in her dying moments. Like looking in a mirror, she saw a lovely blonde doll.

"So, Freya, what brings you here?"

Two identical "Frendas" spoke at the same time, then stared at each other wide-eyed. Even their verbal tic was exactly the same.

wrong!

That child looks exactly like me, but he's still young... This kid is ten years old?

"Because I believe in science, even hand-made clones can be made." Nangong nodded in satisfaction.

"K...clone?"

[Item] finally understood the bizarre situation before them. They should have realized this long ago when they received the mission to assist in the "Absolute Ability Evolution Project".

One day, I may also become a victim of cloning technology.

The healer warlock truly succeeded.

Following [Imitation], this is a derivative skill developed by Nangong Xuan himself, a true [Copy]. Simply separate the targets and then [Reply] simultaneously.

The "Heal" function, in fact, obliterates the uniqueness of humanity. Nangong Xuan's ability to "imitate" the personal realities of those with special abilities is itself an incredible feat.

Before the complete Takitsubo was born, ruling over Academy City, the ironclad rules of the A Certain Magical Index worldview had already been broken.

Since personal reality can be copied, human consciousness is nothing more than a plaything, especially in the face of psychological manipulation.

In the "Genius Dream" arc of the Railgun storyline, some characters underwent human modification experiments.

A person is torn into pieces, mechanically repaired, and after a period of time, the fused parts are severed, forming two independent individuals. The mechanical clone simultaneously gains a soul, but is no longer the original human.

Like the philosophical paradox of the Ship of Theseus, it illustrates the connection between the part and the whole.

If you replace a plank of a ship every day, is it still the same ship? How long does it take to make it a new ship? And what about piecing the dismantled planks back together to form a new ship?

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change; functions that are not present in parts emerge in the whole system, which is essentially "emergence." Just like the emergence of superpowers from an individual's reality.

In some mysterious way, Nangong Xuan's [reply] grasped this law, even turning philosophical propositions into weapons.

If the soul truly exists, it cannot be simply divided in two.

“I tested it, and Flanda’s lower body has no memories in her brain, only past muscle memories, so she has no consciousness.” Nangong smiled brightly. “So, I used [Mental Mastery] to create a copy of 'Flanda’s' self-awareness for you. You’re welcome.”

Some argue that the genitals are a woman's second brain, but this is clearly meaningless. Men are the ones who think with their lower bodies.

By infusing the [Railgun] skill into the [Side Story Individual], it is theoretically possible to infuse the clone with the consciousness of the original.

As Frenda cheered for her "resurrection," she didn't notice the dazed blonde girl standing behind her.

A thought flashed through Nangong's mind, and a red bird appeared in her pupils.

Everything about "Frenda Seville" was copied into a completely new brain, as easily as copying and pasting on a computer.

I create souls!

It's not a rumor stemming from a data error like "the weight of the soul is 21 grams," so there's nothing mysterious about it from the start.

The two Frendas pointed at each other and cried out in despair, "Why did you create such a burden for me?"

"It's a deal, your other half belongs to me." Nangong revealed a wicked smile. "Which half do you want?"

What's more subtle is that clothing cannot be copied. [Reply] Currently, this only applies to living things, so the original Frenda no longer has a miniskirt and black stockings, and the new Frenda no longer has a top.

Even the clothes are divided into two equal parts, which is especially funny.

"Watch me sell this blonde doll!"

"I'm the real one, you imposter can be given to Lord Zero as an inflatable doll!"

At this point, the real and fake Frenda had started fighting. The two disheveled blonde dolls were wrestling together, and the scene was rather unsightly.

I saw a fight between women that was even more explicit. Frenda H's appearance was indeed quite interesting.

"Mr. Zero, do something about them..."

Takitsubo Riko tugged at Minami's sleeve. They weren't exactly close, but this man had been very kind to her since they met, a different attitude from how he treated Frenda.

"Ok."

Nangong Xuan treated Takitsubo differently. After all, this girl had potential, and he was going to "invest" in her eventually, so he needed to cultivate a good relationship with her.

More importantly, she's impeccable in every way—from looks and personality to figure. A pure and innocent girl is just so appealing, she's the same type as Ruiko.

"Stop arguing, you two are mine from now on."

At Nangong's command, red birds appeared in the eyes of the two Frendas.

"...Yes, my master."

Nangong joked, "Twin sisters should get along well."

Or rather, artificial twin sisters created by one person.

“Mr. Zero gave a lecherous look,” Takitsubo said quietly.

She didn't know why, but her tone was like that of someone she was talking to a good friend.

Despite not being good at interacting with the opposite sex, and having only known each other for a short time... perhaps attracted by "Zero's" AIM diffusion field, they unknowingly became close.

"She's just a doll, what's so sexy about her?"

Nangong chuckled, then touched Takitsubo's swollen face. The spot where Mugino had punched him earlier had quickly healed.

The girl in the gym uniform was stunned, feeling the warmth on her face. This was the second time this man had saved her.

"All right."

Nangong Xuan also treated Juanqi, whom he was meeting for the first time.

【Imitation】, which belongs to the atmospheric system like 【Nitrogen Penetration】 and is closely related to 【Accelerator】, is no longer of any use.

Seeing that Takitsubo and Frenda seemed quite familiar with him, Kinuhata Saiai simply assumed they had turned enemies into friends.

"Zero, your ability is incredibly useful!"

She speaks with exaggerated intonations, often using the word "super," a unique verbal tic of a girl with no social skills, no family background, and no connections.

"Thank you for the compliment."

The two loyal golden retrievers finally settled their score. With their owner's mediation, they had to accept the fact that they had gained a sister and agreed to take turns being "Frenda" every day.

"Alright, hurry up and get in."
