“… Lucas, what do we do now? ”

“… to save my colleagues and eliminate all the clones. ”

Of course I said that.

Eventually we have to fight.

Sang-woo sighed and opened the subspace.

[subspace]

And the identities that came out of it.

Gluttony dripping like liquid, Envy in shape, and Sloth lying on the floor as soon as she was caught by Envy's hand.

They were Sang-woo's special identities who ate chilli sinoma.

There, another identity protruding through the subspace.

“Hmm…. ”

After a brief sigh, the self that looked around without saying anything was a lust of color, Rust.

Sang-woo, who was at home, looked at the current situation and recalled the rust using an alternate method in which the waiting time for reuse had been reversed.

‘It's troublesome to tease the bottom, but you have to use it when you're short on self-immolation. ’

And then, as the alternates jumped in, the clones started rushing in.

Babbaba baba baba baba baba baba!!!

They vanished and quickly appeared around Sang-woo's group.

Sang-woo immediately responded.

[Exist Field]

The energy of the Exquisite Field emanates from Sloth's body, lying on the ground.

Fluffy.

But it was Class S Hunters who fell.

The expressionless clones attack like they're nothing.

Too much light!

Sang-woo and the alter ego set up a barrier to protect the surrounding Lucas who was about to collapse because of the Exquisite Field.

‘The Exist field is not working…. ’

It probably didn't work because there were few identities, such as self-immolation or machines.

Sang-woo immediately turned off the Exist field.

Then I threw Sloth into the center of the clones using his psychic powers.

Phew!

A powerful flying sloth slams into the ground with several clones.

Thanks to this, the attention of the clones rests on Sloth.

Too much light!

The clones spray a red laser from their bare hands to attack the sloth.

However, one of Sloth's abilities is counterattack.

The attack damages Sloth, but bounces right off and pierces the clones who attacked him.

Dozens of clones fall to the floor at the same time as the counter attack.

‘That's right, you're good. ’

Sang-woo ordered Sloth to use the skill.

[Vampiric Aura]

[Blood Drain]

[Recovery]

[Great Healing]

[Error Shield]

[Electric power]

I used some skills because I was a lazy sloth, but I didn't pretend to have heard any commands, and thankfully, I followed them well.

Hwaaaah

Sloth recovers in an instant, wrapped in light.

Lightning flashes along with a shield of Vampiric Orders around his body.

"Now that you've been attacked, you'll be able to reflect on your damage and recover, right?" Huhu. ’

So Sang-woo finished setting up Sloth and ordered Envy to use the mark of jealousy.

[jealous stigma]

And soon after that, I sent her to a clone with a jealous Mark.

‘Get rid of it.'

Gluttney dives over the barrier and into the clones.

Glotney turns into a liquid with its whole body watering.

Immediately swallowed up a clone.

A replicator that was wiped out in an instant from the core of a probe.

Whether the expedition was speeding up at the same time or the effects of jealousy.

[Metallization Skill acquired.]

[Blink skill level has increased.]

[Strength has increased by 0.001.]

[HP has increased by 0.001.]

… a system notification reminded me that I have gained a new skill.

‘Like that.’

Sang-woo felt better when he took away his clone abilities.

Clones were also able to gain abilities within the scope of the system.

Maybe that's why.

Quack, quack, quack!

Sang-woo looks at Lucas and herself, and the clones who are still beating excitedly at the barrier surrounding Envy and Rust as a result of the sequelae of the just-field.

Those who climb into the barrier in plain sight and attack without cause.

‘Kang Jun-young, no, you clones. You guys are life. I'm sorry, just blame me for meeting the enemy. ’

Sang-woo prayed for the good fortune of clones for a while.

Thereafter, a full uptake time began.

[Brainstorming]

Glotney draws clones to his body with impulsiveness.

Their strength was very strong, but some who couldn't find a place to support them were dragged into Gluttney's body by a psychic force.

[Blink]

Moreover, because of an extra drink, Glutney was able to move and absorb the Blink skill towards where a large number of clones were clumped together.

[Fly]

During the cooldown of the Blink skill, a flying skill was used to wipe out clones completely.

How much time has passed.

Sang-woo wipes out all the clones while lucas regains his senses and moves the other hunters to safety.

Pot!

And Lucas arrives.

The situation was already closed.

“It's over.”

Sang-woo was briefly exploring replicated human culture facilities.

He looks at Lucas and says, boldly.

“I knew it. It's incredible. Sang-woo is really strong. ”

Lucas said as if he admired it.

Sang-woo shakes his head.

“It would have been hard if it weren't for the power of Childline. By the way, I don't see any Chairman here either. ”

Lucas nods at his question.

“I think we should go further down. ”

“Hmmm... Then let's go right away. ”

The other couples are already in the middle of a classic upstairs, and they'll be looking for each other.

Lucas nods because Sang-woo was enough.

“Very well. Be on your way. ”

Sang-woo and Lucas have left the cloning plant.

Then he went down the elevator shaft again.

Boom!

11th floor underground.

As I left the elevator room, there was no corridor like anywhere else.

Instead, there was a facility full of monitors and giant machines.

In the middle of the facility.

“Huh? Found it. ”

“… Trevor Rhone. ”

There was the man Sang-woo and Lucas were looking for, Trevor Ron.

He was so focused on what he was doing, not looking back, not caring at all whether he heard a loud bang or not.

“… Experiment No. 271 degree Sylphanga. Elisa, run 272. ”

Test number 272. Execute.

Overwhelmed

Sang-woo and Lucas walk up to the sides of Trevor Ron like that.

“President Trevor Rhone. I need you to come with me.”

Lucas lays his hand on Trevor's shoulder and says,

Then Trevor takes his eyes off the monitor and looks at Lucas.

I was irritated by his face, which looked like he was in his mid-30s.

“Get out of my way. I'm busy.”

Then he sprinkles Lucas's hand and then Trevor looks back at the monitor.

Sang-woo next to you stares at Lucas in a daze.

Lucas also said that he was confused.

“… Ron, you are in no position to refuse. We will arrest you immediately for the plot to commit murder and harassment. ”

Along with that, Lucas lays a hand on Trevor's shoulder.

He decided to use the teleportation to go with Trevor directly to the Tron Company task force set up in Nevada's main military base.

One.

Fit....

As the light rises, a teleportation signal attempts to trigger and quickly goes out.

Teleports don't work? ’

The moment Lucas panicked.

Trevor looks back at Lucas and opens his mouth.

“Teleport... That doesn't work here with Elisa. So don't interrupt. Or watch my research. ”

Lucas and Sang-woo don't seem to be afraid at all.

Sang-woo, who was a little absurd in that appearance, stepped out.

“Do you want me to just drag you by force? ”

Sang-woo asked Lucas in Korean.

However, Lucas restrains his hands.

“Well, let's hear what's going on. ”

That said, Sang-woo was trying to move.

Lucas looks at Trevor's little monitor and asks.

“Mr. Rhone... what is your research? What is it, people are dying and you don't blink? ”

Trevor answered the question.

“My research is to take one piece of DNA and fully implement that person. His memories, his habits, his experiences, his emotions, everything written in his DNA. ”

Trevor doesn't seem like a big deal.

However, the meaning of the words was never light.

What do you mean, people make people?

“… Is that why you created the clone? You have Kang Joon-young? ”

Sang-woo, who was listening next to Lucas, snaps at you sharply.

Trevor laughs in relief.

“Kang Jun-young... I'm sure it is. The amygdala removal of Test Subject K102 was a success, and I was able to get a lot of information in the process. The original replicators were emotionally unstable and had extreme consequences such as disobeying orders or killing themselves. As a result, I was able to augment the utility of my replicated human technology, and I was able to complete the utilization model. The first practical clone model CLONE003 series. Oh, that's not the model you just faced. It's a more enhanced version. ”

Trevor takes his eyes off the monitor and blares excitedly.

In the end, he agreed to create a replicated human using Kang Junyoung.

Calling clones like machines.

Sang-woo was resentful of what he said.

“You talk about humans like they're some kind of object. Trevor, are you out of your mind? ”

When he asks, Trevor's smile grows darker.

“Of course not. Do you think I'd be in my right mind? Everyone's cursed blasphemy... I'm the one who caused it. ”

“Yes?”

All of a sudden, it's a big deal.

Surprised Sang-woo looks at Lucas.

But even Lucas, who seemed to know everything, was surprised.

Lucas asks with a trembling voice.

“... You made a big scene? What's that supposed to mean? Tell us more... Tell us more. ”

His lips tremble.

Very aggressive expression.

Sang-woo has never seen Lucas so shaken.

Trevor's smiling face disappears with a self-absorbed smile.

“You didn't know? Maybe you already knew that. Project Rainbow... the case that it triggered. ”

Project rainbow, or project rainbow.

The name is more familiar with the Philadelphia experiment.

The experiments that were the hot spots of all the rumors popped out of Trevor's mouth.

In Sang-woo's head, the rumor that I had seen before passed by.

Are you telling me that the experiment where space travel was realized for the first time was real? ’

And Trevor and Lucas go on and on.

“Are you telling me the portal was opened because of Project Rainbow? ”

“Precisely. I understand you're in charge of the original portal. ”

Trevor makes perfect sense to Lucas and uses an old-fashioned tone.

But it didn't matter.

More importantly, it was about the conversation.

“… As expected, the Tiberian portal was the first. ”

“Yes. Someone who already knows. You must have known about it in the United States, but you never heard of it. Oh, so long ago, everyone who knew the secret died? ”

Trevor tilts his head.

At that time Sang-woo questioned.

“But Trevor, that's kind of weird. He said he made a big scene, and it was 2000. And the Rainbow Project, or something like that, was done during World War II in the 1940s. Mr. Trevor wasn't even born then, was he? ”

It was a sharp question.

And because of this, Sang-woo was convinced that Trevor was crazy.

Because I'm old.

"You gotta go crazy, but you gotta go soft. The young man... Phew. ’

I asked with a slightly pathetic look on my face, and the answer was unexpected.

“Oh, you mean that? Actually, I'm invited by Trevor Rhone, junior first, and now junior second. ”

“Yes? They're all the same? ”

It was shocking.

They're all the same.

“No, I look like I'm in my early 30s, but it doesn't make any sense... ”

Sang-woo suddenly shut up after refuting like that.

because the average life expectancy of 200 years would have been a fairly feasible story for the modern superhumans.

“Simple. They remodeled my body. Younger. ”

Trevor gladly says, pulling his cheek.

And that was then.

Elisa clone 272 stabilized. Awaken?

The voice of the synthetic woman that I had heard since I came in was echoing throughout the machine room.

Trevor replies with a glare.

“Oh, already? That's how time works. Awaken.”

He falls back on the monitor.

Lucas and Sang-woo next to him were not at all surprised.

Sang-woo stares at Lucas because he's facing an outrageous criminal. He doesn't know what to do.

But...

‘Lucas is out of his mind. ’

Staring into the air, he was completely shocked.

Sang-woo sighs and looks at Trevor.

Then I suddenly wondered what he saw.

‘But what kind of a smart guy does an experiment like this? ’

by turning against the world.

So Sang-woo stands next to Trevor and looks over his shoulder at the monitor screen.

There, a naked white woman stood up in her capsule, her body filled with eustacean, as if she had just woken up.

“Who is she? ”

Sang-woo asked Trevor.

Trevor Ron replied with a smile on his face.

“She's... the one I love. ”
