Chapter 1025 Clones

The main classroom of the Destiny Headquarters.

A blond man wearing a purple coat with gold edges and a shawl, a white collar and cuffs, and a red scarf was sitting in a room full of red projections, writing a letter seriously, with a smile on his lips, as if he was facing something interesting.

"Otto, the Honkai incident in France has been resolved. What should we do next?"

A scorpion-tailed, white-haired girl equipped with a special Valkyrie armor came in from outside, moving her shoulders and wrists.

"Karen, there's no need to rush."

Otto put down the pen in his hand and motioned the girl to sit down. "Honkai incidents happen frequently, and we have a lot of manpower. Other Valkyries will be responsible for solving those missed incidents. You should have a good rest. Sakura and Rin will be back soon. You can go and take a look. Maybe they brought back something that interests you."

"Huh? Didn't you just send them out to carry out the mission? So soon?" Karen asked in surprise.

"It's just a simple transaction. It won't take long."

"Oh...what will they bring back?" Karen nodded half-knowingly and asked again.

"You'll know when they come back."

Otto kept the secret and focused his attention on his letters.

Karin leaned over to take a look and found that it was already filled with content. She swept her eyes over it, and Otto did not deliberately block it, allowing her to read it openly, and continued to pick up the pen to ponder the following content.

The letter was written to a person called W, who was like an ordinary pen pal. Otto told the other person about various things around him, hiding his identity as a bishop and saying that he was just an ordinary researcher.

Kallen looked at him for a while and asked suspiciously, "Otto, are you feeling lonely?"

"Oh? Lonely?"

Otto stopped to think, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Why do you say that?"

"Because you're not this talkative when you talk to us normally, but you're talking freely to a pen pal we don't even know."

Kallen explained, "And the tone of your letter doesn't sound like that of a bishop of destiny at all. It's as if you can only talk to the other party if you put aside this identity."

"This is a misunderstanding. I wrote to him only because he is an interesting person. It's not as complicated as you think."

Otto took off his purple coat with gold edges and casually placed it on the corner of the desk. "Besides, Karen, I still have you guys by my side, and I can eat steak and drink red wine every day. I am very happy in this kind of life."

Gu————!

"..."

Kallen covered her stomach and scratched her head embarrassedly. "Um...Otto, when you mentioned steak, I felt a little hungry. I had lunch half an hour ago...Ahahaha, how could this happen?"

Otto laughed, put the letter into the drawer temporarily, and stood up. "Let's go. Let's solve your stomach problem first. But do you think we should go to the restaurant or see the doctor next?"

"To the restaurant, of course!"

Of course, Kallen did not admit that her bottomless stomach was a disease, and she left happily with Otto.

……

After dinner, he and Kallen parted ways after 5pm. The latter heard the news of the Honkai, which was very close, so she rushed over directly. Otto was informed by his subordinates that [Cargo] and the Yae sisters had arrived at the headquarters.

So after a brief thought, Otto gave the order to have the [goods] brought to the newly opened laboratory, and he would be there soon.

In the underground laboratory of the Tianming headquarters, cold white lights illuminated the entire space, reflecting on the smooth metal surface. On the walls of the laboratory, rows of display screens and control panels flashed cold lights, showing the status of various systems and the instructions to be executed. The air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, intertwined with the slight hum of electronic equipment.

The center of the laboratory is a huge culture tank, which is made of transparent reinforced glass and filled with clear nutrient solution. Surrounding the culture tank are circles of metal frames covered with pipes and sensors, which will monitor and adjust the growth environment of life in the future.

Next to the culture tank, an automated robotic arm slowly moved and carefully picked up a sealed transparent container. This was a transport cabin, smaller than the one the fox-eared girl had inspected before, and it contained a female body that had just been transported in—a biological sample that had not yet begun the experiment and was in its most initial state.

As the blue liquid turbulently, one can vaguely see that the pink-haired girl sleeping in it is actually wrapped in a special protective film to ensure her absolute safety during transportation.

Otto Apokalis, who had quickened his pace to get here early, stood aside, his eyes fixed on every movement of the robotic arm. There was not much expression on his face, but his eyes were flashing with irrepressible anticipation.

Especially after seeing that this woman looked about 60% similar to the young man who was confirmed dead hundreds of years ago, his heart, which had been silent for a long time, finally became active again.

If the organization called "Moth" did not lie, then the sample sent specially in front of him would be the biggest piece of the puzzle to achieve his goal.

This is a clone, but unlike other clones, this girl has something extra on her chest—a black gem that contains powerful power.

The Herrscher core?

When Otto first heard the news, he didn't believe it. It was not until the goods were actually delivered and inspected that he felt truly surprised.

Because according to her structure, the girl in front of her is really a slightly weaker creature called a Herrscher.

With the precise operation of the robotic arm, the transport capsule was slowly placed into the culture tank. The protective film gradually dissolved under the action of the nutrient solution, revealing the true face of the sleeping girl. She quietly floated in the center of the culture tank, like a sleeping angel, waiting for the moment to be awakened.

The researchers in the laboratory were busy and tense, checking their instruments to make sure everything was ready. They knew how much their archbishop valued this research, and they dared not slack off.

Otto took a deep breath, turned to the assistant beside him, and gave an order: "Begin the pre-activation of the life support system and ensure that all parameters are within the optimal range."

The assistants responded quickly, their fingers dancing quickly on the console, inputting a series of complex commands. As the commands were executed, the light in the culture tank began to soften, and the nutrient solution began to flow slowly, providing the sleeping girl with a warm environment that simulated the mother's body.
