Star Iron, my clone is taking over Onpharos

Bai Yuan thought to himself with some regret.

The ability to fight is nothing more than increasing one's combat skills. Bai Yuan felt as if he had been sent to a virtual battlefield to fight for thousands of years.

Bai Yuan swung his scythe, unleashing a jet-black blade of light.

Bai Yuan's clone is different from his original body. The energy his original body receives is the same as Nicardi's energy. However, when his clone uses it, it is tainted by the clone's attributes, causing the energy to change.

This is also why the Nicardi energy in the air enters the main body of Hakugen, but not his clones.

At its peak, Nicardo could easily destroy an entire archipelago with a single strike. Although Hakugen's clone has suffered significant losses from absorbing and converting the energy, it still retains a considerable amount of power.

Bai Yuan's clone's casual strike turned the ruins hundreds of meters ahead into ashes.

"This destructive power is truly befitting of the Titan of Strife."

Bai Yuan looked at the results of the battle and thought to himself.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a group of people exploring in his direction.

With Nicardoli swallowed up, Suspended Peak City is now practically unclaimed territory, though many people in Ohma know about this place.

"Why is there such a commotion in Suspended Peak City? Could it be the Heavenly Punishment Vanguard?"

"How is that possible? How could the Heavenly Punishment Vanguard have such destructive power?"

"Could that be the monster that Lady Katniss was talking about?"

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

Bai Yuan watched as the human figures in the distance drew closer and closer, soon arriving in front of his clone. Seeing this group of people appear, Bai Yuan's eyes lit up with excitement.

He recognized the leaders; they were the senators who had stood with Katniss during the Senate debate.

Now that they've appeared before me, their arrival is perfectly timed.

"Just because I am kind doesn't mean my alter ego is kind."

As Bai Yuan thought to himself, he raised his sickle.

Katniss's subordinates were still preoccupied with the reward Katniss had promised, their pupils turning into the shape of coins, completely unaware that danger was approaching.

When he realized that Bai Yuan's clone's giant scythe had already swung down, the expressions of Katniss's subordinates instantly changed from greed to panic.

Unfortunately, the opportunity is gone.

As the massive scythe swept across, the upper body of this subordinate of Katniss was reduced to ashes in the single strike.

Seeing this, the others also broke free from their greed and began to flee in all directions.

"Help!"

"No, don't come here!"

They ran and shouted in panic.

Bai Yuan manipulated his clones, wielding the scythe in his hand. With each swing, a dark blade flashed, taking a life.

These people hadn't run very far before they were all attacked by Bai Yuan's clone.

He will never hesitate to act when he has the opportunity.

Soon, everyone except one or two people who hid in secluded areas turned into corpses.

Bai Yuan did notice the one or two people who were hiding.

He deliberately left these people around, hoping to lure Katniss in.

"Kainese, I want to see if you're coming?"

Did they wait until the Citizens' Assembly spent a lot of time and effort to get Katniss removed from office?

Bai Yuan would not accept such a thing.

Only death can put my mind at ease.

Otherwise, as a skilled assassin, Katniss would make Bai Yuan unable to sleep peacefully. Even if he were immortal, he would still worry about Xia Die's safety.

Chapter 62 Meeting with That Moment Xia [First Update]

Watching those people flee, Bai Yuan manipulated his clone to walk towards the ruined Suspended Peak City.

There are still many Scourge Hunters and Scourge Vanguards over there; let's kill some first.

It allows the clone to absorb a portion of the energy, while also releasing some of Nicardi's energy so that the main body can absorb it properly and become stronger.

Hakugen's clone wielded his scythe, killing one Nicardi Familia member after another.

……

After manipulating his clones to slaughter countless Nicardi Familias, Hakugen felt somewhat exhausted. So he found a suitable place for his clones to rest.

The state of his clone was now confirmed, and he had even slain many of Nicardi's familiars. The most crucial thing was to relay the message to Katniss and see what she would do.

All eyes returned to their own perspective. This time, Bai Yuan was truly fast asleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Bai Yuan woke up.

When he woke up, he smelled a strong aroma of food. Bai Yuan opened his eyes and saw Xia Die standing in front of him wearing an apron. Xia Die's sleeves were rolled up, revealing her fair hands, and her purple hair was still dusted with flour.

Xia Die noticed that Bai Yuan had woken up, and a happy smile appeared on her lips.

"Bai Yuan, you've slept all day. You must be hungry now. I've prepared some food, let's eat now."

"I feel so hungry right now, I could eat a whole earth beast." Bai Yuan rolled over and stood up, stretching lazily.

He now felt stronger than ever before, the energy within him completely absorbed. He was full of energy and vitality.

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Xia Die smiled and said, "Then I'll go and roast an Earth Beast for you right now."

She knew Bai Yuan was joking, so she smiled and agreed.

"Well, forget it, I'll just eat my food normally." Bai Yuan quickly shook his head, then ran barefoot towards the dining table.

He picked up the food and began to wolf it down.

Xia Die watched Bai Yuan eat and felt extremely happy.

She also felt a little hungry, so she walked to the opposite side of Bai Yuan, pulled out a chair, and sat down to eat.

While eating, Bai Yuan said to Xia Die, "Sister Xia Die, you should rest for a while. This time, I'll stay by your side and watch over you."

“Okay.” Xia Die did not refuse Bai Yuan’s suggestion at all.

She cares about Bai Yuan, and she is happy to reciprocate Bai Yuan's concern.

Bai Yuan ate a few bites of rice and then said to Xia Die, "By the way, Sister Xia Die, after you wake up, let's go outside the city. I want to test my current full-power combat strength. I feel that in addition to strength, I also have a lot of techniques in my mind."

Techniques for their appearance? Do Nicardi's energies still carry these elements?

Xia Die couldn't quite understand it.

But she was still happy as long as Bai Yuan became stronger.

So, she naturally agreed to Bai Yuan's request with a smile.

……

Xia Die woke up after resting for a few hours.

Afterwards, she and Bai Yuan packed their clothes and weapons and headed out of Ohma City.

Having just arrived at the Path of Parting on the outskirts of Ohm, Bai Yuan and Xia Die prepared to leave. But just as they were at the entrance, they saw Xia Maibu, with green hair, slowly walk in.

“It’s the teacher.” Xia Die recognized Xia at a glance.

She subconsciously wanted to step forward and greet Naka, but then she thought of Bai Yuan beside her and stopped, unsure whether she should go forward.

Bai Yuan pulled Xia Die's hand and led her forward.

“Sister Xiadie, even if we don’t meet here, we will meet again at the Citizens’ Assembly.”

He stepped forward and greeted Xia.

"Is it Lord Naksha?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Die's expression froze.

Visibly, Xia's expression changed from calm to anger at that moment.

Bai Yuan also realized what was happening at this moment.

At that moment, Xia hated it most when people called him by that name.

“My name is not Anaxagoras, Anaxagoras—is this name hard to remember?”

At that moment, Xia gritted her teeth and said to Bai Yuan.

Xia Die quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, teacher, Bai Yuan doesn't know about these things."

"Yes, Lord Anaxagoras, it was my fault," Bai Yuan quickly apologized.

Regardless of what Xia might do to him next, at least in this first meeting, he was the one who was rude.

Xia stared intently at Bai Yuan for a long while before speaking: "Hmph, since you can say that subconsciously, it must mean that someone often says this to you. Xia Die is my student, she wouldn't do that. So, it must be that woman Aglaia who taught you that. Hmph, I'll remember this debt and settle it with her when I have the chance."

Huh!? Are they trying to shift the blame to Aglaia?

It seems like it's not entirely impossible. After all, the relationship between these two people has reached a freezing point, and this little thing can't affect anything.

Xia Die also thought of this and decided to remain silent and not argue.

At that moment, Xia's attention was focused on Bai Yuan, and he closed his eyes to sense the energy fluctuations in the air. Then, he suddenly brought his face close to Bai Yuan's and reached out his hand.

Bai Yuan quickly dodged.

"Teacher, what are you planning to do?" Xia Die asked Xia Ke.

“Because I discovered that the information I received was incorrect.” Xia stood up and looked at Xia Die: “It seems that after the Titan of Strife was devoured, an unexpected change occurred. After the Titan of Strife was devoured, even the influence of its fire seed couldn’t penetrate the body of that pitch-black creature?”

No, actually, it goes even further; the sparks of the Titans of Strife have all been completely consumed.

Xia Die thought to herself.

Xia continued, looking at Bai Yuan, "If possible, I would like to take you to my research facility now to test your compatibility with Titan power. If that happens, your strength can be greatly improved."

Bai Yuan immediately refused: "Your Excellency, that's impossible. I will not accept human experimentation."

“Ignorant and conservative, just like that woman.” Na Ke Xia looked at Bai Yuan: “If you have the chance, I suggest you go to the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden to study for a while. I hope that knowledge will give you a different perspective.”

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the depths of Ohmma.

“I’m leaving now. You’re not my primary research target yet, and I won’t waste too much time on you for the time being. I’ll be staying in Ohema for a while longer. If you want to fully understand the changes in your body, you can come to me anytime.”

At that moment, Xia's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Chapter 63 Katniss Takes the Bait [Second Update]

Xia walked into the distance, her expression thoughtful.

"Everything about the energy flow in his body makes sense. But the one thing that remains a mystery is how he acquired the original Conflict Titan energy within him."

From 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, Xia had mastered it all.

The only thing I didn't understand was how Shiromoto went from 0 to 1.

"It really is a topic that makes people want to explore it."

Xia murmured to herself at that moment.

If it weren't for the presence of an even more mysterious, dark monster, he felt he would have focused more of his attention on Bai Yuan's experiences.

"I just don't know if that Titan is interested in his situation."

Xia thought to herself at that moment.

At this moment, the rational Titan attached to Xia's body did not make a move at all.

He was also very interested in Bai Yuan's physical condition, but shared the same thought as Nashika: to find the dark monster capable of devouring the Titan of Strife first.

On the other side, Bai Yuan listened to Na Kexia's words and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

At that moment, Xia thought that he, like Aglaia, had not blasphemed the gods and understood her thoughts, but in fact, Bai Yuan was very clear about his physical condition.

This absolutely must not be revealed.

However, when Xia mentioned that he would have time to study at the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden for a while, Bai Yuan was reminded of something else.

After Little Grey's arrival, the Divine Enlightenment Tree Court will be attacked by the Black Tide and the Fire Thieves. However, the Fire Thieves have appeared earlier than in the original story and have suffered a major blow in Suspended Peak City.
