Star Iron, my clone is taking over Onpharos

“Yes, not at all. I have checked the think tank on the train with Danheng, and we found no similar creatures.”

"This is really mysterious. It seems I'll have to get a proper check-up later."

The bed arrived at the laboratory, and Bai Yuan's second clone was lifted onto the operating table.

“Let’s see how resilient it is.” Black Tower picked up a laser scalpel and began cutting into the arm of his second clone. Starbaby watched from the side, and couldn’t help but touch her own arm.

"Luckily, I chose to board the Star Train," Ah Xing murmured to himself.

The star core within her is far more important than the energy within the Black Brothers. If the Black Tower were to allow her to study it freely, she would likely be dissected even more brutally.

Heita and Himeko didn't have time to pay attention to Xingbao, but instead focused all their attention on Baiyuan No. 2 clone, wanting to see just how powerful its recovery ability was.

My arm is recovering little by little.

After the restoration was complete, Black Tower couldn't help but frown.

"This time, ten minutes and eleven seconds, is much slower to recover compared to the power of the Blessing of Abundance. However, according to the monitoring on the platform of the space station, the recovery time after its entire body was blown apart is also about ten minutes."

"This recovery doesn't quite fit the power of abundance. To understand this guy's physical energy more precisely, we need to conduct further analysis of its organization."

Black Tower muttered to himself.

Himeko reminded Heita, "Ms. Heita, look at the tissue you cut off."

Black Tower looked at the tissues severed by the second clone and found that these tissues were disappearing bit by bit. In the past ten minutes, the tissues of the second clone that had been severed from Bai Yuan had almost disappeared.

It seems that Bai Yuan's second clone, like his first clone, will disappear quickly without leaving a trace, even if a part of its body is obtained.

"I can't believe it." Black Tower quickly picked up the various research tools and gathered them next to White Yuan No. 2 clone. Black Tower was still in its small puppet form, and holding these tools seemed a bit too much, making it difficult to use them effectively.

Hei Ta looked at Himeko and said to her, "Himeko, get me some experimental equipment. I'll quickly cut off this guy's tissue, and you can help me with the research."

“Okay.” Himeko immediately cooperated with Heita’s actions, taking several instruments from her hands. Heita picked up a scalpel and cut off another piece of tissue from White Yuan No. 2’s body, preparing to study it. Himeko watched from the side, quickly picking up an instrument and placing it on the tissue.

With Himeko's cooperation, Black Tower's research progressed even faster.

However, looking at the results of her research on the tissues of the severed object, she appeared puzzled.

"How could this be?"

Yes, it would be good if we couldn't figure it out!

Seeing the black tower's puzzled expression, Bai Yuan felt excited inside.

If she can't even control the Black Tower, then the only one stronger than her in the field of biology is Ruan Mei. Once Ruan Mei arrives, she can rest assured and wait for her to perform various modifications on her.

"Ms. Black Tower, what have you discovered?" Himeko asked from the side.

“This creature’s tissues contain many ancient beast components,” Black Tower replied to Himeko.

"Ancient beasts? It has a connection with ancient beasts?"

Xing pointed at Bai Yuan No. 2 clone in surprise.

"Yes, just like the Doomsday Beasts you encountered back then, its body contains components of the Twilight Ancient Beast. And unlike the Doomsday Beasts, which use the bases of the Twilight Ancient Beasts as materials, it is a living ancient beast itself. I'm even more curious about its origin."

At this point, Black Tower felt a little regretful. This pitch-black creature couldn't speak and had difficulty expressing itself. Furthermore, it had come with the antimatter legion, and none of the antimatter legion members could explain the origin of this pitch-black monster.

On the other side, Bai Yuan was also surprised to hear Hei Ta say that.

His own clone was actually connected to an ancient beast, and not just a composite of remains like the Doomsday Beast.

Ancient beasts are enormous creatures that existed in the universe even before the Star Gods were active. What exactly is the nature of my own clone that it's considered an ancient beast?

Wait a minute, ancient beasts in the universe aren't extinct.

That gluttonous star god Obolos is a genuine Twilight Beast.

After arriving in this world and awakening the ability to create clones, these clones also possess the ability to devour. He had previously joked that his clones might be destined for gluttony.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the clone itself contained the genes of an ancient beast.

Goodness, their relationship with the Gluttonous Star God is getting deeper and deeper.

"That guy is no ordinary terrifying being. Getting involved with him is not a good idea."

Bai Yuan thought to himself.

At this moment, Black Tower shook his head as he watched the body tissue disappear once again.

"The tissue separated from this organism can only last for so many seconds. I can't possibly study it any further."

"So, Black Tower, what are you planning to do with my buddy?" Xing asked Black Tower from the side.

“I plan to hand it over to Nguyen Mai, since she is best at dealing with biological issues.”

Upon hearing what Hei Ta said, Bai Yuan almost jumped for joy.

"Finally, we've gotten involved with Nguyen Mai."

P.S.: 11,000 words updated today, so tired. I'll take a nap and write tomorrow's update later.

Chapter 89 The Night Before Heading to Stikocia [4k, First Update]

"Nguyen Mai?"

Ah Xing's face showed a confused expression, indicating that he was not familiar with this character.

“Ms. Ruan Mei is the eighty-first member of the Genius Club, an expert in the field of life sciences,” Himeko explained to A-Xing from the side.

"Oh." Ah Xing nodded.

Hei Ta looked up at Xing and said to her, "Xing, why don't you wait for your Starry Sky Train to depart? Wait for her to come over, and let her see your condition. Maybe she'll get some other insights from her."

"This... never mind." Xing swallowed hard, then shook her head violently.

Before coming to the experiment, March 7th gave her a thorough education on the members of the Genius Club. According to her, Black Tower was considered one of the more ethical and humane scientists among them.

As a result, as soon as they got to the operating table today, they just threw my buddy onto the operating table and started dissecting him. Ah Xing doesn't even want to think about what would have happened if someone even less principled had done it.

With my skinny arms and legs, I can't handle the experiments.

Ah Xing looked at Himeko and the others who were standing to the side.

Princess Himeko, hurry up and get away with me! Even if the train runs out of power, I'll carry the Starry Sky Train and run away.

Bai Yiqi (Part 1) 2VIII Shi Si Ba Yue/Yi Yuan was manipulating the second clone on the side without moving, very leisurely.

The main problem was that he couldn't bring himself to speak; otherwise, he would have been eager to tell Black Tower, "Hurry up and tell Ruan Mei; I can't wait any longer."

There's nothing more to do in the experiment; it's best to wait for Nguyen Mai to arrive for the remaining research.

It is worth mentioning that, with the consent of the Baiyuan-2 clone, the Black Tower also allowed the other crew members to dissect the entire body of the space station for the purpose of research in the field of life sciences.

Incidentally, the Black Tower's signal for consent is to ask White Yuan's second clone if it will refuse. As long as it doesn't utter the word "refuse," it means it agrees.

Seeing this, Xing became even more determined to run away as soon as possible.

You're even bullying a monster like me who can't even speak properly? That's too cruel of you.

And another guy, if someone were to make a deep cut in your chest and say there's no bleeding, you wouldn't just stand there without any resistance, and even lift your legs up as if you were enjoying it.

Are you the legendary masochist?

But isn't that kind of attribute usually only found among humans? Has it already spread to the monster horde?

Even if you don't feel pain, you can't be this comfortable, right?

Bai Yuan felt comfortable, not because he was being dissected while lying down. He was simply looking forward to the enjoyment he would experience after Ruan Mei arrived.

Well, Miss Ruan Mei is such a kind person, she'll definitely inject me with some ancient beast or other monster genes right away. After that, she'll give me some other minor surgeries like radiation or modifications.

By the way, look at me, I'm much more resilient than those insects. You can try your breeding envoy experiments on my clone. You're already a mature scientist; you can't be too rigid about forms. Breeding envoys doesn't necessarily require insects; I can do it too.

If all else fails, you can transform this clone of mine into the shape of an insect.

Xingbao couldn't stand the stimulating scene any longer, so he simply turned around and left with Himeko.

As for Bai Yuan's second clone, after being dissected by the staff for a while, it was found that no progress was made, so it was simply taken back to the room it came from.

Back in the room, he also prepared a sumptuous meal for Bai Yuan's second clone.

This allows Bai Yuan to control his second clone so he can feast to his heart's content.

"Unexpectedly, my clone eats better than my original body. It's a pity that my clone can't transmit the sensation of taste to my original body."

While manipulating his clone to devour the food, Bai Yuan thought to himself.

Ohma, or rather, the entire Onfaros, suffers from a major problem: a lack of resources. Even a wealthy woman like Xia Die, who has amassed untold riches, cannot afford to buy much plentiful food.

Meanwhile, at the Black Tower Space Station, thanks to the wealthy Estelle and the logistics technology of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, there is no shortage of supplies.

Bai Yuan was simply manipulating his clone to eat a large meal to replenish his energy.

Meanwhile, Heita immediately turned on her communications after arriving at her office.

Soon, the image of a gentle and beautiful woman in a cheongsam appeared in front of the Black Tower.

"Oh? Black Tower, is there something you need from me?" Ruan Mei's lips twitched slightly as she spoke gently, expressing her confusion about Black Tower's summons.

“I’ve encountered a special creature here, and I thought you might be interested. Its body is made of ancient beasts, making it a living being with ancient beast genes, and it also has the attribute of immortality. I wonder if it would interest you,” Black Tower said to Ruan Mei.

Nguyen Mai slightly raised her eyes.

“Indeed, this creature is very appealing to me. It just so happens that my experiments on your space station are about to enter the next phase. I will come to your side as soon as possible.”

Her words remained gentle and unassuming, but those familiar with her knew that Ruan Mei was already quite interested.

She should arrive at the space station soon.

It could also help her investigate the situation of that dark creature.

As a researcher, her greatest characteristic is her curiosity. Even outside the Black Tower's field, she still wants to know the truth.

……

Ruan Mei couldn't possibly come immediately after receiving Black Tower's message, so for the next period of time, Bai Yuan's second clone had nothing to do.

Similarly, his own body was in the same situation. When he had nothing to do, he would either go to the Yunshi Heavenly Palace to soak in the hot springs, or go to work as an embalmer with Xia Die, and occasionally go to the Yunshi Market to help the merchants.

Especially when it comes to helping take care of children, those children, especially little girls, naturally obey Bai Yuan when they see his good looks.

Xia Die had just returned when she saw Bai Yuan watching over a group of three- or four-year-old children.

Seeing Xia Die return, Bai Yuan said to the children, "Let's go, your parents should be packing up their stalls by now. Hurry home, it's time to eat."

"Okay." Although the children were a little disappointed, they still obediently followed Bai Yuan's instructions and walked towards their homes. However, a few little girls looked at Xia Die with hostility.

"Did I offend them?" After they left, Xia Die asked Bai Yuan, puzzled.

“Those little ones all said they wanted to marry me when they grew up. Now that they see you, they naturally see you as a rival in love,” Bai Yuan replied with a smile.

Xia Die couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She certainly wouldn't be jealous of a child; such words are perfectly normal.

The only thing that could make her jealous is...

"Your Excellency Sai, Fei, and Er, what brings you here?"

As Xia Die was thinking this, she saw a woman with a beautiful figure and voluptuous legs walking towards her and Bai Yuan. Jealous, she called out Sai Feier's name, each syllable distinct and deliberate.

"Of course I'm here to see Yuanzi." Saifeier was carrying a bunch of prepared ingredients and said to Bai Yuan and Xia Die, "I recently stole all the wealth from the thief spirit Bartrus and came to share this joy with Yuanzi. Of course, Xia Die is here too."

"I have no interest in your food. Is there anything else?" Xia Die gave Sai Fei'er a cold look.

“Of course there is.” Saifeier looked at Xia Die. “I came to find you because of your trip to Stikosia. The seamstress is concerned about your preparations and wants to know when you will go there to conduct your reconnaissance. Of course, she is not rushing you. She just wants to prepare in advance and has contingency plans for all possible outcomes of your trip to the Underworld.”

Stikosia, a city-state located on the edge of the continent of Onpharos, is the sixth city-state in the realm of the dead. It was once a nation that worshipped the Titans of the sea. It is also the place where death first descended.

It has now become ruins. Bai Yuan and Xia Die went there to find the way to the underworld.

"Mm." Xia Die nodded gently.

Then, she turned to look at Bai Yuan, her eyes asking a question.

"Bai Yuan, when do you think would be a good time to go? I'm ready to leave at any time."

Xia Die was quite content with the quiet time she spent with Bai Yuan these past few days. Even though she loved these peaceful days, she was well aware that the entire Ohema was still under threat, and she wanted to contribute to the Fire Chasing Journey as soon as possible without delaying too much.

Xia Die has a pretty good memory of these days, and even if she encounters danger or other situations, she feels content.

Bai Yuan closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened them and slowly said, "Sister Xia Die, if possible, I would like to set off for there tomorrow."

We can't stay any longer.

Bai Yuan felt that if he stayed idle for too long, even the will to fight would disappear.
