Black Robe: Gender Swap, I Have a Small Panel

When Morgan saw the situation inside the cave, he was momentarily stunned.

That black thing looks a lot like Black Sperm! It can even split; what if it combines again later?

Is it too late for me to run now?

After a long while, seeing no sign of union below, Morgan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it's just a resemblance. If they actually made a Platinum version, where would I find One-Punch Man?

……

"Minister, something's wrong!"

The clones that had been disappearing in small groups vanished all at once!

Even the original body couldn't create clones!

Through his earpiece, Morgan heard a reminder from a support staff member. He looked down at the tumor-like beasts; the faces etched on their bodies were none other than the clones of the human.

Could this thing absorb the abilities of the people it kills?!

Holy crap, it's black!

Don't you dare die yet! I'm coming to save you!

Ten thousand clones would be difficult to deal with, let alone ten thousand dark ones.

As she descended, the pit suddenly brightened, revealing the dark figure who had been squeezed into a corner.

A few basic attacks freed Xuanse, who was stuck in the corner and unable to exert any force.

Although there are many of those tumorous beasts below, their individual combat strength is not high.

They couldn't even climb out of the 30-meter-deep pit.

There was probably only one deep-sea combat force. He rescued Xuanse from the midst of a massive army, while they couldn't even touch a hair on his head.

……

"Xuanse, with your strength, even if you couldn't win, you should have been able to escape unscathed. How did you get trapped inside?"

Xuanse gestured with his fingers, trying to find paper and pen to write some information for her.

"Just speak directly. I know you're not the Xuanse from the last era."

"You don't need to act in front of me. Patriot is still in the hospital; who are you putting on an act for?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Se was stunned.

She stared at Morgan in disbelief. The board of directors hadn't said she knew.

Shouldn't Morgan just be an outsider on the board, a bailout for the liquidation department? How would he know about his affairs?

"It seems you still don't believe me. Well then, John, I'll be frank."

Or rather, a clone of Homelander, I know you.

Upon hearing this, Xuanse ripped off the zinc-containing mask covering his face, revealing a face that belonged to Patriot.

A more sunny and cheerful Chinese person—of course, this is only one side of Xuanse that he presents.

"Although I don't know where you got this information, now that we've brought it up..."

"There's no point in hiding it. Hello, I'm John!"

Morgan nodded in response.

I didn't shake his hand. In the lore, he's stronger than Homelander, but far inferior to Homelander in other aspects.

Unable to fly, physically weaker, lacks thermal vision...

In the final showdown, the three clones perished together with Homelander.

And don't let his sunny appearance fool you, he's actually much worse than the people of the motherland.

The reason why the people of the motherland are prone to madness is because of Xuanse, who has done countless bad things with a face exactly like his.

Whenever the people of our motherland are about to find meaning in life, to find their "heart,"

He would then sabotage everything and blame it on the Homelander, making the Homelander think he was schizophrenic.

In short, this person appears cheerful on the surface, but is actually a cunning old fox, even more evil than the people of the motherland.

Saving him was simply to prevent the tumorous beast from obtaining his power.

"Let's skip the useless small talk and talk about the monsters down there."

Xuanse didn't mind, put the hood back on, and said directly:

"Yes, you should have noticed it too. This tumor beast can plunder abilities, and that's related to the face on its body!"

It just so happened to exploit a bug with the clone ability, plundering the clone over two hundred times—quite troublesome!

"The good news is, we can kill them!"

"I've experimented with it. Focus on one and keep killing it; every time that thing splits, one of its facial markings disappears!"

"Also, he can only plunder one ability; he doesn't have the long-range projection ability that clones can mutate."

"Throw it 20 meters away from the group, and it will disappear automatically."

"And the bad news?"

"The bad news is, for every one you kill, another one appears, exactly like the newly born one, with the same facial markings!"

"In order to kill one, I split off more than 200 more."

Morgan was stunned. "A nesting doll here!"

"Does that mean...?"

"That's right! The index is rising! It's simply impossible to wipe out these tumorous beasts using conventional methods!"

"Only by destroying all of their cells at the cellular level can their replication be stopped."

Xuanse looked at Morgan with a questioning look in his eyes.

Morgan shook his head:

"Tumor cells aren't so easy to eradicate, even if they're in the same pit."

"I can't kill 10,000 at the same time right now."

"Then we can only consider the worst-case scenario, which would require the use of high-yield weapons, at least thermobaric weapons."

The black color seemed to be talking about something very ordinary.

Morgan: Thud... Is this the superhero world? You talk about firing missiles as casually as eating and drinking.

"Then dismantle all pipelines within a ten-mile radius and evacuate everyone within a twenty-mile radius."

According to the calculations just now from the backend, the losses will reach tens of billions.

"This will be recorded in our department's accounts..."

On his first day in office, the minister still needed an experienced mentor to guide him; he was already familiar with the procedures!

Morgan, who was pretending to be listening attentively, gradually sensed something was wrong!

"What?! This money is being recorded in the department's account?! Why?!"

Doesn't that mean that on my first day of work, I've already lost the salary I'll earn for the next few years?!

Damn it! What's in the department's pocket is mine. Deducting money from the department's pay is like taking money out of my own pocket!

How could this happen?

"Because if the clone hadn't kept sending them, the situation wouldn't be as complicated as it is now, which constitutes a procedural failure."

Damn!

Morgan knew from the first glance at the clone's file that this thing was a menace.

Although paying one salary to hire 10,000 "undying people" is a good deal.

But if they were to encounter a growth-type monster,

Wouldn't that turn the tumor beast into the Ten-Mile Slope Sword God? A boss spawning right in the early game?

Once I get back, I absolutely cannot be greedy for this advantage.

We still need to hire someone with brains. We can handle it today, but what if we give someone a godlike feed next time?

Trying to gain something for nothing can lead to bigger losses!

"This is my first day at work, do I get a new employee exemption coupon?"

Morgan looked at Xuanse with anticipation.

"How could such a thing exist...?"

Xuanse glanced at Morgan, shook his head, and thought to himself:

Cleaning Minister, a position even a dog wouldn't do, and you got it.

Do you really think you can make a fortune? You're so naive!

Morgan looked at the hefty fine, then, as if struck by a thought, asked:

"Xuanse, how did the previous minister leave?"

"Oh, similar to today. Do you remember the great evacuation from Gododkin three years ago?"

"I remember, if Gododgin University hadn't been so remote, it would have almost been included in the evacuation zone."

"He's in the same situation today, a procedural error, one of his monsters was sent to godlike status by the clone."

"He was unlucky. A city-wide evacuation left his department with trillions in debt, a debt he could never repay in his lifetime. So he sold his shares, went bankrupt, and resigned..."

"He's really in a bad situation. Right now, the compensation we're getting isn't particularly much..."

No! He's bankrupt! Who's going to pay his debts?!

How much debt does our department currently have?

"12500 million!"

Xuanse shrugged.

Holy crap, no wonder Edgar so easily approved 50 billion to build the base, turns out he was afraid I'd settle scores later!

$50 billion is going to saddle me with a debt of $12500 trillion? That debt is higher than the annual GDP of some small countries!

Damn it!!!

Edgar, the world's top figures you mentioned, the ones who stir up world affairs, you mean debt!

Morgan wants to fly back and strangle this old bastard right now!

On the 87th floor of Walter, Edgar suddenly felt a sense of malice descend upon him, and cold sweat poured down his back.

Morgana, does she know I tricked her?

Should I go away and hide for a couple of days?

……

"Why am I being blamed for what happened with the previous administration?"

And how come they owe an additional 2500 billion?

"The department's debts will definitely be inherited, and Walter's reputation can't be ruined. Didn't anyone tell you that?"

Morgan only knew about the annual salary and assumed he was receiving a double salary from both the department and the company.

The result was that he used his annual salary to pay off the department's debts!

"As for the extra 2500 billion, it's because the previous minister also entered the bureau with debt."

Wanting to pay off debts and make money, he's being frugal in all aspects and choosing to heavily rely on his clones.

"After his bankruptcy liquidation, the department's revenue decreased even further, so we had no choice but to continue using clones."

"Thankfully, the remains of the tumor beast can be exchanged for money to pay salaries, otherwise our logistics would be completely exhausted!"

"We've managed to get to this point through all the patching and mending."

After listening, Morgan felt like he had taken on a huge burden, and then asked incredulously:

"Our department already owes 1.25 trillion, how could we possibly owe another one?"

Xuanse also thought it unlikely upon hearing this.

"It's probably difficult. How about we seal this place with cement and pretend nothing happened today?"

It might explode in a few years or decades.

"But that's none of our business anymore!"

...As expected of you, Xuanse! Are you burying an apocalypse for future generations?

So frustrating!

Wait a minute... the person in front of me wouldn't do something like this, would they?!

It feels like something they would do!

A tonic!
