Chapter 646 – Revelation and Operation

000

While Cleon’s party confronted Poltuk, Darwin, who was looking for an opportunity, was captured by the spirits and taken to their leader.

She had some time to spare until the middle, but in the end, she failed to roast and boil a group of yohos. She was hit by a lightning spell from their leader, the elder ‘Tama Mo’, and suffered damage to the point that her entire body was scorched.

It was only that much with her first attack, but in a situation where even struggling to escape from the spot with her restrained body became meaningless, if she tried to strike her lightning again-

The next moment, with the sensation that her body was being pulled somewhere, she was instantly transported to another place.

This is their mansion.

A secret residence for regressors in the Dragon Mountains, away from Asteris.

Darwin, who noticed that the move was not a kind of teleportation magic, but a type of technology that opened a dimensional gap and instantly moved a long distance using a ‘shortcut’, lifted his head with a body that could not move properly. .

There, while wearing a robe, an existence wearing an owl mask was looking down at him.

The inside of the pupils of the owl mask were black like outer space, and the eyes emitted by the being wearing the mask emitted light like stars shining in the distance.

The starlight that you see when you look up at the sky symbolizes hope and guidance – but sometimes it leads people to madness with the bizarre ominous light that is so far away.

Obviously, the light coming out of that mask was closer to the latter.

“You’ve been badly hurt, Darwin. If you, following Maxwell and Laplace, die, your father will surely be very sad.”

Contrary to that impression, his voice is low, profound, and at the same time, a kind of benevolence is felt.

Hearing the voice like a priest caring for a child and encouraging believers, Darwin felt his heart settle.

Saying that, he bent down and, as if to alleviate the pain caused by the burnt skin remaining on her body, he restored her body a little with his healing magic.

However, it did not regenerate the skin, and it stopped at the point of numbing the senses so that it somehow made it impossible to feel pain.

“Ho, Hokma-sama…”

When he recovers enough that human words can come out of his mouth, Hokma supports Darwin, who is about to get up, and sits down.

Now that her body has become this, the potency she took to transform herself into her younger self is gone, and as a result she returns to the shape of an old woman in her late 70s, her skin still black from the intense impact of lightning. Was in a state

“Why, in a place like this…”

“Because of my father’s orders, I have something to entrust to you. Then, I confirmed the events related to the remnants of the empire that were happening in Asteris… And that you also encountered them.”

“I’m sorry… I was going to take care of the foolish people who went against my father’s wishes with my own hands… But I ended up disappointing him.”

When Darwin says that, Hokma smiles politely and puts his hand on Darwin’s head.

“No. It’s not your role. Me and my father too. Because I didn’t expect that from you. Father knows very well that you do not have the ability to do that.”

In a way, it was cruel enough to disapprove of her ability or effort, but Darwin, even after hearing such words, seemed rather moved to put her hands together and tighten her head.

“You explore your knowledge, and keep doing that research. Because that will play the most important role in bringing my father’s country to this land before long. The remaining sages have already completed that realm and dedicated everything to their father. All that remains is you. Darwin.”

It was a benevolent tone to the last, but in his voice there was a certainty that Darwin would give his all according to their will.

And that certainty may not have been an illusion unique to Hokma.

“What can I do? Mr. Hokma…”

When Darwin asked him a question, like a disciple asking for instruction from his teacher or a child asking for mercy from his father, the pupils behind his mask once again lit up and seemed satisfied with Darwin’s will to respond. .

001

First, Hokma ordered Darwin to heal her body by healing her own wounds.

It’s not exactly a directive out of her concern for Darwin’s life, it’s just that she prioritizes her so much that she can’t let her do her job if she doesn’t move her body properly.

So, instead of using the elixir of evolution on himself, Darwin used a serum of attribution made from Aisha’s blood that she had just picked up right before.

Of course, thanks to the clinical trials of other nobles, data was gathered to some extent, so they succeeded in obtaining the superior body of nobles while maintaining perfect reason, rather than attributing them to an incomplete form-uncontrollable form like them. It was

Besides, is it an attributive effect, or is it an effect of regaining youthful energy, enthusiasm, and desire together while regaining youth?

The inspiration for research, springing up randomly like in her youth, made her act unstoppable.

And, after confirming that she had completely recovered her physical condition, Hawkma put the girl named ‘Albein’ in her huge coffin and brought it to Darwin.

“This girl…?”

Blonde hair. Even with that alone, it was clear that she was from the nobility of the kingdom, but strangely, she didn’t feel anything like ‘cuteness’ in her appearance.

“It is not necessary to know her identity in detail. She only talks about rescuing something possessed by demons. Her father is also one of the nobles of the kingdom who are cooperating with the Exiled Church.”

“Indeed…”

In other words, it was Chokmah’s way of saying that she didn’t know her father, or even if he did, it didn’t matter.

And he is her and instructs her.

“It is an existence that will play an important role in her father’s plan. Darwin. You use all the knowledge you have, and clone her into her.”

“You mean to make a person?”

Darwin covered his mouth as if surprised by Chokmah’s words and answered.

Even in the doctrine of the Exiled Church, the act of creating humans was a divine skill that was only allowed to Adam.

If there is an exception, it has a human form like the ‘homunculus’, but its essence is that of a non-human being.

Without Adam, a machine that can create humans based on registered genetic information, it would be impossible to create humans from zero.

Just-cloning. In other words, if it is a cloning technique, Darwin was able to find the method after long research.

To be precise, it wasn’t just her skill.

The data of the lost cloning technology was excavated by Maxwell – no, it was treasured in the ruins that he dug up.

It was Laplace who restored the data, reverse-engineered the technology, and first experimented with non-human beings.

Based on that technology, he had cloned rare species of monsters that were hard to exist in the first place and wasted them as materials for various experiments.

And Laplace wasn’t the only one who had his eye on the cloning technology.

Darwin is also a biologist similar to him, and if human cloning becomes possible, his research will be able to reap great results.

That would be too. Without the need to procure new humans to be used as materials, using cloned humans enables one of the most important factors in experiments, ‘same prerequisites’ – that is, experiments with humans in exactly the same physical condition. Because it loses

When calculating the ratio of drugs that change as a result of an experiment, you will be able to minimize the indeterminate factors that get in the way.

However, when the cloning technology was discovered, the Church – or Adam, to be precise – had issued an order never to clone humans.

It’s only allowed to themselves, and it’s a taboo that they shouldn’t do.

Darwin was a scholar, but at the same time he was also a faithful follower of Adam.

That is why he was able to prioritize his father’s orders over his own lust for knowledge.

The boiling desire for knowledge began to fade as he grew older, so he was able to endure that much pain.

By the way, when Hokmah’s order to perform cloning as if pouring oil fell on his thirst for knowledge, which had been rekindled as his body became younger, Darwin was beyond thrilled and felt the climax.

Besides, the cloned Alban said that she would let her use it however she wanted, so for her, her loyalty—no, her religiosity rose beyond her will.

Seeing Darwin shedding tears of emotion, Hokmah spoke.

“Listen, child. When you completed the ‘vessel’ based on this girl’s body for your father. You will become a saint of the church.”

And, she was to promise her the brightest place in her kingdom of endless order.

Naturally, the matchup was fought by Aisha for Darwin and Schrödinger for the Alvein clone.

At first, both Schrödinger and Aisha tried to focus on striking Darwin first, watching Albein wield a luminous sword.

“That guy… His swordsmanship is a mess, but solving everything with overflowing magic power and a strange sword… Isn’t it pathetic…?”

While taking a deep breath, Schrödinger, whose body was dripping with sweat, put his hand on his lap to keep him from collapsing as he spoke.

“Are you okay? Schrödinger…”

“Oh, maybe it’s not okay… This body, fuel economy is better than I thought…”

The light flowing from the magic stone embedded in her chest, ‘blinking’, seemed to show that her time limit was running out.

It’s been a little over 2 minutes since the battle started, but Schrödinger and the clone have already been exchanging sums several times, unable to stab each other’s vital points, so only time is dragging.

Besides, the clone had no interest in Aisha.

This is because right after the battle began, Darwin ordered him to focus on ‘Schrödinger’.

And, it’s not just her that threatens her.

Darwin, too, in addition to his powerful physical abilities unique to nobles, was a mixed martial art of rote knives and martial arts that did not suit him.

It is a knife martial art that nobles learn for self-defense in society, but Aisha sweats as she sees that the dagger she held in reverse slashes through the wind and widens her wounds even though she was not hit directly.

Besides, what made Aisha even more difficult was Darwin’s attitude.

In terms of skill and physicality, it was clear that she could completely overwhelm and subdue herself.

Even so, she laughed to see if she was playing with herself or for some other purpose, and engaged in battle just enough to wield her sword as if to moderately harass Aisha.

Aisha bit her lower lip, looking at Darwin as if he was reading all of her movements.

“Why can’t her own attack work… She has the same face, Aisha.”

Then, Darwin speaks while raising the corner of her mouth as if mocking Aisha.

“I know everything about you. Because I’ve been watching you since childhood. And as a doctor, I’ve been taking care of your health. Your height, weight, and muscle mass. Where are the developed muscles? Where does the premonition before moving appear? I know very well even the habits you don’t know.”

As Darwin said that, she turned the knife in her hand, and Aisha answered Darwin.

“No, Mr. Darwin knows nothing. The pain of being betrayed by someone, and—what kind of heart I am fighting with you right now.”

“The mind… I mean. The human mind is bound to be led by the body. What is the meaning of such false values? Alas, but don’t worry. Because I have no intention of killing him right away. It’s a good opportunity for the clone to gain real experience.”

Darwin speaks while watching as the Alvein clone pushes Schrödinger with ever stronger force.

“The girl who became the source of the clone was not that strong, but… With my elixirs, cloning skills, and countless repetitions of combat training, I succeeded in strengthening my body until I was able to draw out that level of strength. After that, I will create the ultimate clone by taking only the strengths of various demi-humans. Plus, you need a lot of your blood. Aisha.”

Ayesha laughed bitterly at her unsolicited babble, like a child who wants to be praised for her own work.

“And that body will be used for the ceremony… And finally, it will become the vessel that directs the father’s plan from the forefront. I, as the mother of this child- the saintess of the Exiled Church… No, I will become the ‘Mother Darwin’.”

“It’s completely crazy…”

When Aisha spoke as if she couldn’t understand Darwin’s ideals even this much, Darwin, who was making an ecstatic expression, turned cold at Aisha’s answer and straightened the knife she was holding in her hand.

“Yeah… I didn’t mean to be understood by a child like you anyway. I don’t care when it’s over This meaningless fight between you and me. I’m just keeping Schrödinger alive so he doesn’t collapse. Isn’t it Albein?”

The moment Darwin called the clone’s name, Albein’s body flinched and trembled, so he immediately swung his sword, struck Schrödinger, who was running towards him, and raised the magic power of the sword.

The moment she thought that the divine magic power of the artificial holy sword created by her mechanical device had risen to a certain level, her clone’s mouth opened and her magic was released toward them.

“Saint Burst.”

Bang! A powerful explosion of light that occurred along with a sound hit Schrödinger and Aisha.

The shockwave of holy magic that spread in all directions hit the two of them and threw them back, and Schrödinger, who took less damage due to the relatively far distance, rotated in the air and took a fall.

As it is, Aisha rolls over and over again on the ground and receives a shock.

“Umm~ It’s a really inefficient technique. I left it because it was one of the few spells the original used. After all, what is the point of using divine magic in this way?”

Indeed, Darwin, who ordered her, observed the magic of the clones and expressed her impressions as if he did not like her.

“Miss! Are you okay!?”

“Ugh, ugh…”

And then, her Schrödinger, who approaches Aisha who has rolled her to the ground, and tries to raise her up.

I thought that the magic stone on her chest was blinking even faster, but I didn’t care and grabbed Aisha’s shoulders as if to support her and tried to stand up from her seat.

‘Mumble mumble’

And until Aisha’s voice was heard telling Schrödinger.

“…! That, that- will that be okay?”

“Huh. As a result of hearing the story of the two people… This is the only way.”

As Aisha looks at her with her determined expression on her face, Schrödinger seems to ponder for a moment, but then nods in agreement.

‘My remaining magic power is the limit. If the mana runs out, this combat power will not be able to be maintained…’

Perhaps, the opportunity left for you in the future is only one.

“Let’s go!”

“Huh…!”

At Schrödinger’s signal, the two of them simultaneously ran forward at high speed.

Originally, it’s a Schrödinger that can move at a much faster speed than Aisha, but for some reason it keeps pace with her and advances towards her.

Seeing that, Darwin complained that fools could only do one thing, and he fixed the knife to leave Aisha to himself, and Schrödinger to the clone.

‘I don’t think I’ll be able to get any more meaningful battle data… Should I put an end to it soon?’

With that thought in mind, the moment she prepared her counter while checking the harbingers of Aisha’s every movement that caught her eye.

It’s like asking ‘Who is it?’

Just before Darwin and Aisha clash, Schrödinger intervenes and covers Aisha’s body.

Darwin was surprised by that action, but as if responding to it, the Alvein clone turned to Schrödinger on the spot.

‘Oops…!’

However, when Darwin realized that Schrödinger was targeting him in this attack and that her movements were unreadable due to the lack of data, his reaction slowed down.

The next moment, Schrödinger’s fingernails pierced her left shoulder.

Originally, she was aiming for the heart, but because she was a noblewoman, she was able to avoid Schrödinger’s attack to a certain extent, even if it was a bitch.

“Kuheugh…!”

Painful screams from Darwin’s mouth slow her thinking down once again.

So, she misses the opportunity to amend her orders to the clones.

The order given to the Alvein clone was ‘Schrodinger’s Concentration Mark’, and he was not even interested in Aisha.

Of course, if Darwin is attacked, she will definitely try to get rid of Schrödinger in response.

Thanks to this, her clone’s nerves were focused only on Schrödinger, and she couldn’t even react to another enemy approaching from her side.

Next moment-

Fuck! And if you think that there was a dull sound.

Just before Albain’s sword touched Schrödinger’s body, her head was turned back by the impact.

And a large amount of blood flowing from the temples.

“Haha…!”

Aisha looked down at the fallen clone of Alvein, her hammer smeared in her hand.

Next moment.

Darwin, who had been stabbed in the shoulder, screamed in pain on the spot.

It was also the sound that meant her defeat.
