Star Iron, my clone is taking over Onpharos

“The odds are still very low.” Ruan Mei finished speaking and smiled. “But the odds are low enough that I’m willing to give it a try.”

"So, you've agreed to cooperate?"

Luocha asked Ruan Mei.

“Of course.” Nguyen Mai nodded gently.

At the same time, she glanced at a part of the reproductive remains and had some thoughts of wanting to study it.

"We should at least show this to the higher-ups of the Immortal Boat Alliance first," Luosha quickly said, seeing Ruan Mei's thoughts.

"Ok."

Nguyen Mai expressed some regret.

She also wanted to study the strength and composition of this remains, and when would be the right time to feed it to the little guy (Baiyuan No. 2 clone).

Chapter 127: Writer's block. Revising the article; we'll release 10,000 words together tonight.

I wrote over three thousand words, and I feel like it's terribly written. I can't show anyone a piece of crap like that. I'll delete it and rewrite it. I'll put the entire ten thousand-word update tonight.

Chapter 128 The Fire Thief Changes His Fighting Style [5k, First Update]

“Ms. Nguyen Mai, I’ll be leaving now.”

Luocha saw that Ruan Mei's eyes were still on the coffin behind him, and quickly suggested that he wanted to leave.

"Ah."

Nguyen Mai nodded with a hint of regret.

Bai Yuan, observing Ruan Mei's gaze, thought to herself that if she weren't unsure of how to keep him, she would have made her move right now.

Don't doubt Nguyen Mai's character; she doesn't even have the most basic moral compass.

Tingyun was still in shock.

She never expected things to develop this way.

One moment she was considering how to deal with the potential invasion of the Great Lord of Annihilation; the next moment someone told her that she should go and cause a plague on the Ancestor of Longevity.

The change in speed was so rapid that it left her somewhat overwhelmed.

However, seeing Ruan Mei and that dark monster about to board the spaceship, Ting Yun quickly ran to catch up. Only after she got on the spaceship did she sit down on the ground, panting.

"Ms. Nguyen Mai, please slow down!"

“It seems your constitution is a bit weak. Do you need me to help you improve it?” Ruan Mei asked Tingyun.

“Of course…no need.” Tingyun was about to nod in agreement, but seeing Ruan Mei’s gaze, she quickly shook her head.

Tingyun felt that if she agreed, she would probably end up with a few extra parts on her body.

“Alright.” Ruan Mei didn’t mind, and then she piloted the spaceship to fly out of the planet.

……

Onfaros, Marble Market.

While Ruan Mei was on her way, Bai Yuan accompanied Xia Die as they strolled through the market.

Looking at the people in the market, Bai Yuan smiled from the bottom of his heart. He didn't want anyone to destroy this beautiful Onfaros.

Even a situation like the re-creation of the world should not happen.

Sensing Bai Yuan's joy, Xia Die also smiled.

The years are quiet.

However, this peaceful life was soon shattered.

A hurried figure ran over; a person covered in blood was heading towards Bai Yuan.

"Help, help!"

Bai Yuan was greatly surprised when he saw the person who had arrived.

Isn't this Jason, who brought him to Ohm and provided him with a house?

Seeing this, Bai Yuan quickly stepped forward to support him and asked with concern, "Brother Jason, don't worry, I'm here, no one will hurt you."

Sensing Bai Yuan's presence, Jason felt slightly better. He swallowed hard, then burst into tears.

"Hercules, Hercules, it died in my place. I, I have wronged it."

In Hercules' life, there was the earth beast that Jason always carried with him. Bai Yuan didn't see it now, and Jason said it had died in his place.

What happened?

Bai Yuan continued to ask, "Was someone attacked you? Was it Kuroshio? Or Nicardori's henchmen?"

Jason's composure calmed slightly upon seeing Bai Yuan. He looked at Bai Yuan, swallowed hard, and said, "Yes, it was a swordsman wearing a tattered cloak, a hood, and a mask. We were attacked by him just as we were returning from outside Ohma. Hercules was cut down by him with a single, decisive blow..."

At this point, Jason burst into tears again.

Is he the Fire Thief? He actually attacked passersby outside Ohma!?

Upon hearing Jason say this, Shiromoto immediately knew who it was.

However, he never expected that the fire-stealing wanderer would start attacking passersby.

"Has this guy started doing such despicable things now?" Bai Yuan said to Xia Die, "Xia Die, you guys stay here for now, I'll go check over there. If he's still hurting people outside Ohma's city walls, I'll definitely find a way to keep him here again."

"Yes, you must be very careful."

Xia Die gave Bai Yuan some instructions.

Through today's competition, she was clear about Bai Yuan's current fighting strength, but she still gave him a word of advice out of concern.

"Don't worry, I will."

Bai Yuan nodded.

Then the Blade of Divine Punishment appeared in his hand and rushed towards the outskirts of Ohma.

Bai Yuan rushed to the city gate of Ohma, where even more dead and wounded appeared. Bai Yuan's anger intensified as he looked on.

Upon reaching the area between Ohma and Suspended Peak, the ground was severely damaged. And lying on the ravaged roads were numerous corpses.

Bai Yuan looked up and saw a tall, dark figure in the distance.

"The Fire Thief!"

Bai Yuan shouted loudly.

At the same time, he tossed a coin into the air. Then, with a powerful leap, he was in front of the Fire Thief in the next second. Filled with rage, he swung the Blade of Heavenly Punishment in his hand, smashing it towards the Fire Thief's chest.

The Fire Thief was also somewhat surprised that Bai Yuan would arrive at Yue Yi's first post so quickly.

However, he was prepared. He raised his sword to block in front of his chest.

The power of the Titan of Strife erupted from Bai Yuan, completely repelling the Fire Thief Walker a considerable distance.

“You’re faster now. But it’s not enough,” he said to Bai Yuan.

With a swing of his longsword, he transformed into several phantoms, attacking Bai Yuan simultaneously.

Bai Yuan quickly swung his sword to attack, but in the meantime, the Fire Thief had already shaken off Bai Yuan and escaped the battlefield. The Fire Thief's clones were equally powerful, and after Bai Yuan dealt with them, the Fire Thief had vanished without a trace.

Bai Yuan wanted to give chase, but the Fire Thief had already disappeared. Even with the speed of the Trick Titan, he couldn't catch up with the Fire Thief.

"This guy, he's not even going to fight me head-on? What's he up to?"

Bai Yuan thought to himself.

He sheathed his longsword and returned to the place where the damage had occurred. Feng Jin and Xia Die had already arrived, and Feng Jin was currently using her healing techniques to treat those who were still alive.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine soon," Feng Jin comforted the injured while treating them.

Xia Die, on the other hand, goes to those who have died and uses her mortuary rituals to let them rest in peace.

Tibo was questioning those who had sustained minor injuries and were not seriously hurt when she saw Bai Yuan approaching, so she quickly ran over.

"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, are you alright? You were too reckless just now, chasing after that fire-stealing wanderer all by yourself was really too dangerous," Ti Bao asked Bai Yuan with concern.

“It’s alright, I parted ways with him after a brief encounter. Sister Tibo, did you inquire about those people? I feel like the Fire Thief Walker’s actions are strange? It’s completely different from his previous focus on finding the Titan Fire.”

Bai Yuan indicated that he was fine, and then told Ti Bao about the things that were bothering him.

“Indeed, this matter is very strange. When I came here, I learned from Aya that this area outside the city was beyond the reach of her golden thread. The Fire Thief came here and attacked the people, and they didn’t have time to react.”

Bai Yuan frowned upon hearing this:

"What is he planning to do? Would he really carry out such an attack? Although what he does will cause considerable losses to the people of Ohm, it will ultimately not affect the situation of the Titan Seed?"

Bai Yuan's expression changed slightly.

"Unless he intends to normalize such attacks."

The Fire Thief is undoubtedly extremely powerful, but the key is that he is alone. To hide, he would be difficult to find unless he were in a place like Ohma, which is filled with Aglaia gold threads.

The reason they were able to find him before was mainly because the Fire Thief's objective was too clear. At the same time, when facing attacks from Bai Yuan and the others, he wouldn't easily give up, but instead would fight head-on.

That's how Bai Yuan managed to make the Fire Thief suffer a few losses.

Bai Yuan has now discovered that the Fire Thief Walker is no longer behaving in the expected way, which renders the previous tactics ineffective.

The enemy is powerful and lurking in the shadows; they could launch an attack from anywhere at any time.

This situation makes Shiromoto's task much more difficult.

"That fire-stealing scoundrel." Tibo clenched her fists angrily when she heard Bai Yuan say that.

Feng Jin approached at this moment, her voice somber, and said, "Lord Tibao, Yuanbao, I have treated all thirty-seven injured people and ensured they are not in mortal danger. But the remaining fifty-two..."

Bai Yuan and Ti Bao sighed.

Xia Die was still working as an embalmer when Bai Yuan saw her and quickly went over to help her. Aglaia sent others to help Bai Yuan with the funeral arrangements, preparing to hand the body over to the family after returning to Oher 6 Yinshan 2 Er 9 Erma.

After Bai Yuan and the others finished their work, they headed towards the Cloud Stone Palace. Given the current situation, they needed to report to Aglaia and discuss their next steps.

The group returned to the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace.

Aglaia was waiting for them.

“My master, Bai Yuan, Die, Feng Jin, and Bolicia, you have arrived.”

“Yes, we came over after we finished dealing with those matters.” Bai Yuan nodded: “The losses from this incident were considerable, so it will probably be up to you, Ms. Aglaia, to handle the task of calming down the people afterward.”

“Of course I will.” Aglaia nodded gently. “More than that, I want to ask your opinions on how to handle this matter. Will the Firewalker attack again? What is his purpose in doing so? These are questions we need to consider.”

Feng Jin pondered for a moment, then said to Aglaia, "Ms. Aglaia, could we temporarily evacuate the people outside the city?"

The Firewalker's attack occurred in a blind spot of the Aglaia Gold Thread, proving at least that he was wary of it. Therefore, concentrating everyone under the Gold Thread's protection would effectively prevent further losses for the people.

“This is a difficult task,” Aglaia said, shaking her head at Feng Jin.

"Leaving aside the panic that preventing people from going out would cause, the crops outside the city and the mushrooms growing in the shade are the food source that all the people of Ohm are dependent on. If we abandon them completely, it won't be long before Ohm suffers a food shortage. The final result would be even worse than the attack by the Firewalkers."

"That's it..."

Upon hearing Aglaia's explanation, Feng Jin's face instantly fell.

"Aya, what are your thoughts? Can you come up with any good ideas?" Tibo asked Aglaia.

Aglaia shook her head: "I don't have any good ideas about this either. What we can do now is expand the range of the golden threads and attack the Fire Thief Walkers as soon as they appear."

“Aya, your body won’t be able to handle this,” Tibo said worriedly upon hearing Aglaia’s words.

The release of the golden threads was meant to expend a great deal of Aglaia's energy. After thousands of years, Aglaia's remaining life force and energy were already very low. With the appearance of the white element, Tibo had initially thought that Aglaia could rest a bit and recover some energy.

But this approach will only drain Aglaia's energy even more. She might collapse before everyone even succeeds in saving the world.

“Master, this is the only way. Otherwise, the Fire Thieves' attacks will become even more unrestrained.”

As she spoke, her brows furrowed again.

"What's wrong, Aya?" Tibo asked anxiously.

“The Fire Thief has launched another attack,” Aglaia said softly. “While we were talking, he headed straight for Suspended Peak, intending to attack the people there.”

"Then I'll go and provide support right away." Bai Yuan took out a coin, ready to unleash his incredible speed.

Aglaia raised her hand to stop him.

“Not for now,” Aglaia said to Bai Yuan. “I anticipated that possibility and have already sent Wan Di to guard that area. If the Fire Thief Walkers attack once and then retreat, just like before, the battle will probably end very soon.”

Everyone waited for a few minutes.
