Star Iron, my clone is taking over Onpharos

“My name is Black Tower. Of course, what you see before you now is just a puppet of mine.”

The puppet introduced itself.

"The eighty-third seat of the Genius Club, the true owner of the Black Tower Space Station, the most intelligent human on Azure Star, Lady Black Tower," Himeko introduced Black Tower's identity to Hoshino.

Ah Xing nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

She didn't quite understand what Himeko was saying.

“Those don’t mean much.” Black Tower didn’t care about those meaningless titles at all. Looking at Ah Xing, she showed an interested expression.

The body, composed of a star core, appears to be of great experimental value.

Then she turned her gaze to Bai Yuan's second clone.

"You're saying this creature came with the antimatter legion?"

“Yes.” Estella nodded, and then she told the Black Tower everything that had just happened.

"Is that so?" Black Tower asked with interest.

"It seems we can examine its body a little."

Upon hearing Black Tower's words, Bai Yuan immediately manipulated his clone to stand up.

I've been waiting for you to say that! Ms. Black Tower, as expected, your beauty and wisdom are unparalleled. You knew exactly what I wanted most as soon as you arrived.

At this moment, Ah Xing spoke up for Bai Yuan's second clone: ​​"I say, it protected the space station quite a bit just now. It led the Void Soldiers to prevent them from destroying the space station. Even if resisting the attack of the Doomsday Beasts at the end doesn't count as protecting the space station, it still made a lot of contributions beforehand. Why do you still want to use it as an experimental subject?"

After saying that, she gave Bai Yuan No. 2 clone a thumbs up.

"Don't worry, I've got your back, bro."

Seeing Ah Xing's actions, Bai Yuan was moved, but his face showed a mixture of laughter and tears.

You really don't need that.

"This form of life has never appeared in the universe before. If it were to go outside, it would inevitably be caught and captured by other people with ulterior motives," Black Tower explained calmly.

Then she said to Xing, "By the way, you are the only one in the entire universe with a body carrying a star core. Not only it, you'd better prepare to protect yourself and decide where you want to go."

The little black tower figure walked to the side.

"Ah this..."

Xingbao scratched his head.

March 7th quickly grabbed Xing's shoulder and said to her, "You can come to our Starry Sky Train and explore the unknown universe with us."

"Yes, we can still protect you." Himeko nodded affirmatively from the side, glancing at the second clone of Shiromoto standing there.

"Also, as long as it doesn't exhibit extremely strong aggression, you can bring it along."

Get on the bus? Although getting on the bus could lead to many adventures, what Bai Yuan needs most right now is Ruan Mei's experiment.

So, seeing the direction the black tower had left in, he quickly chased after it.

"This... is this an eagerness to conduct experiments?" Xing said in shock.

"It seems so, it really is." March 7th nodded.

“Whether it’s intelligent or not, at least it made this choice,” Walter Yang said slowly. “Let’s go, at least Lady Black Tower won’t treat it unfairly.”

"Okay, fine." Ah Xing glanced regretfully at Bai Yuan No. 2 clone, then mingled with March 7 and the others.

After all, Bai Yuan No. 2 clone only took the hit for her and had no mental communication. Seeing that it made this choice, Xing could only feel a little regretful.

"Goodbye, buddy. Hope to see you again next time I'm at Black Tower Space Station."

Xing shouted one last thing to Bai Yuan's second clone.

Following Xing's voice, Bai Yuan manipulated his second clone to follow the Black Tower.

……

"Phew, it's finally over."

Seeing that his second clone had entered the Black Tower's laboratory and would rest for a while before starting the experiment, Bai Yuan finally felt relieved and shut down the second clone's view.

He stretched out a long yawn.

The sound of a butterfly came from afar.

"Bai Yuan, are you awake?"

"Not yet." Bai Yuan didn't want to open his eyes.

"I'm sealed by this bed. In my hometown, the seal can never be broken unless there's a kiss from a beautiful young woman."

With his eyes closed, he said some incredibly shameless things.

Then, Xia Die smiled helplessly and stepped forward to cooperate with his shamelessness.

PS: The second update has 6,000 words, and today's total update is 10,000 words. Tonight, I'm going to play the new version of Genshin Impact's story, so there won't be a midnight update for now. It's 1,000 words less than before, please understand.

Chapter 86 You want me to live in the Underworld forever? That's impossible! [4k, First Update]

Xia Die gently kissed Bai Yuan's lips, instantly energizing him.

Xia Die then affectionately patted Bai Yuan's head before getting up. Bai Yuan also got out of bed afterward.

"How are you? Are you feeling hungry? Lord Wan Di left some food. I'll heat it up and give it to you." Xia Die said as she walked towards the kitchen.

"Okay."

Master Wan's culinary skills are undoubtedly impeccable; even the leftovers are incredibly delicious.

Bai Yuan and Xia Die had a simple meal to fill their stomachs.

Bai Yuan, in particular, ate even more than before. Everything that had happened at the Black Tower Space Station had drained Bai Yuan's mental energy. This mental exhaustion also made Bai Yuan feel hungry.

After finishing his meal, Bai Yuan wanted to continue lying there lazily.

He has now taken up the torch of the Titans of Strife, and in terms of combat skills alone, unless the Fire Thief reappears, Bai Yuan's current combat skills will be difficult to improve.

Bai Yuan's current improvement still needs to focus on energy. This is something that Bai Yuan cannot obtain through training, so Bai Yuan plans to lie in bed and rest well.

"Bai Yuan, why don't you continue to rest here? I still have a lot of work to do today," Xia Die said softly to Bai Yuan.

Work? Bai Yuan only remembered at this moment that Xia Die was still the mortician in Ohema, and naturally she had her own work to do.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yuan stood up.

"Xia Die, let me go with you. I also want to experience your work."

“This…” Xia Die hesitated, “Actually, there’s really nothing interesting about this kind of work.”

Witnessing someone else die is never a pleasant experience. The atmosphere in the deceased's home, in particular, can be heavy and oppressive. Unfamiliar individuals joining the work of an embalmer can easily be negatively influenced.

Xia Die didn't want Bai Yuan to experience the same feeling as her.

She knew Bai Yuan had witnessed death, but that kind of death was the exhilaration of the battlefield, where one wouldn't think too much in the heat of the moment. The death she was facing now was one of lingering affection from family, the reluctance of the deceased to leave, and many other things—completely different from that on the battlefield.

"That depends on how you look at it. If I don't understand this kind of work, how can I comprehend the meaning of death? If I don't understand the meaning of death, how can I receive the torch of death?"

Besides, I'd like to experience how you feel.

Bai Yuan looked at Xia Die and thought to himself.

Xia Die hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Okay, then please tidy up your clothes a bit before going to the deceased's home. You should still be mindful of your behavior."

Xia Die nodded and gave Bai Yuan some instructions.

"Ah."

Bai Yuan changed his clothes, making them appear more dignified and serious.

After doing all that, Xia Die and Bai Yuan walked outside.

Outside, the two of them encountered Cecilia.

Serhis asked Bai Yuan and Xia Die, "What are you two doing?"

“Bai Yuan wants to work with me and experience death through it,” Xia Die replied to Cecis.

Serhith nodded slightly when he heard Xiaodie say this: "Indeed, what you think is not wrong. Without reverence for life, it is difficult to fulfill the duty of death."

As He said this, He glanced at Xia, who was also walking over at that moment.

"Take him for example. If we were to make him a demigod of death, then in some ways, Onpharos would be better off being destroyed."

Hearing Cecis's words, and recalling what Xia had said about becoming a demigod of death, Bai Yuan and Xia Die nodded in agreement with His idea.

In that case, Onphalus would be truly finished.

Bai Yuan even suspects that many people go from birth to death and then from death to birth every day.

At that moment, Xia didn't even care about her own life.

“I have no interest in those restricted demigods either,” Naksha said, spreading his hands and looking at Cephall, who was currently carrying the burden of daylight. “I only want to study the nature of these Titans and understand all of this.”

"Teacher, what are you planning to do?" Xia Die looked into Xia's eyes and felt that he was holding back something big.

"We'll talk about all this after I've finished."

Xia waved goodbye and left.

Xia Die watched his actions with some concern.

Although Bai Yuan also sensed that Xia was holding back something big, he still comforted Xia Die:

“Let’s go. Everything here is being monitored by Ms. Aglaia. If Mr. Naxya really wants to do something, Ms. Aglaia will definitely not let him succeed easily.”

"Ah."

At this moment, Xia showed no signs of doing anything, and Xia Die didn't know what to do either. All they could hope for now was that Ms. Aglaia could stop the teacher in time.

For now, Xia Die doesn't need to think about this matter. She still plans to bring Bai Yuan to do her job as an embalmer.

As Bai Yuan walked with Xia Die, he was reminded by Xia's words.

With the spark of the Titan of Strife in his hands, Bai Yuan had nothing else to do and could continue to stay in Ohma without any problem.

However, there are limitations once you inherit the flame of the Death Titan.

Those souls wandering in the River Styx still need to enter the Underworld. After receiving this torch, I too must fulfill this duty.

This is going to be a bit troublesome.

Am I destined to remain in the underworld forever?

No, no, no, that won't do.

Bai Yuan knew his own heart wasn't as strong as Xia Die's; if he stayed in the Underworld, he would go mad.

“But we can’t give up either. If we give up, then only Xia Die can use the power of the Death Titan. She will definitely not refuse, but I certainly don’t want to see that happen.”

However, soon, a flash of inspiration struck Bai Yuan's mind.

Xia Die and Bolysia are twins, so she's not alone.

Isn't this the kind of thing your clone is used for?

I'll take half of the power, and let my clone take the other half. That way, I can leave my clone to perform my duties, and then return to the mortal world.

Don't worry that taking half each will affect the use of the Death Titan's power. The White Yuan clone's absorption doesn't simply convert the power into energy; it undergoes a mutation, making it usable in the same way.

For example, the energy of the Titan of Strife can be used by the White Origin's main body, which ignites a spark. The first clone, which devours the Titan of Strife, also possesses mutated energy, yet it can still wield the same Strife abilities.

It's not pure, but at least it works.

Simply put, it's like splitting an earthworm in two and having two new earthworms grow out. One of them grows crooked, so it looks different from the original earthworm to others, but it can still do the same things an earthworm can do.

However, the process of "re-creation" requires earthworms that are exactly the same, so mutated earthworms cannot undergo "re-creation".

Bai Yuan didn't want that clone to [recreate the world], so he just wanted it to help him with the work in the Underworld. He could slack off and still get the fire seed.

However, to be fair, my clone's appearance is jet black and wields a scythe, making it even more in line with the general public's impression of a Grim Reaper than Polycia's. In terms of appearance and temperament, my clone is also stronger than my original self.

Thinking this to himself, Bai Yuan almost laughed out loud, but then he realized that he and Xia Die had arrived at the deceased's home, and immediately suppressed the urge to laugh.

Xia Die glanced at Bai Yuan and asked him if he wanted to go in.

Bai Yuan nodded gently.

He must experience the weight of death and the preciousness of life.
