Chapter 190 - Modifying The Clone

Chapter 190: Modifying the Clone

'This Divine's main target is definitely not me. It must be Rhea or the Legacy. Hmm, I will do as the Divine wants.' A cold smile appeared on Charles's face.

'You are crazy! You are planning to trick a Divine, aren't you?' The Holem's Crown instantly saw through his inner thoughts and shouted in his mind.

'Hehe, why are you panicking? This world's 'Will' will definitely retaliate if this Divine dares to send his/her main body and cause trouble. No, this Divine can't even send an incarnation and avatar due to the planar alliance. So, this sneaky Divine must be using some possession method to occupy a mortal's body and plotting something big. A Divine's consciousness in the mortal body... If I didn't even defeat this one, how would I rise to become an omnipotent one day?' A chuckle escaped out of his mouth.

'But Divine is still a 'Divine,' lad. You are not strong enough.' The Holem's Crown warned in an anxious tone.

'Yes, I'm indeed weak. But do I even have a choice now? Although I can escape to the Fire Elemental Plane, I want to keep that as a last option.' He sighed heavily and asked.

'Mr. Runeth, can I able to create an artificial clone using my blood? Is there any method?'

'......'

A silence answered.

'You indeed are a strange human.' The Holem's Crown couldn't help but mutter.

Then, it went silent for two more seconds and spoke.

'Indeed. There are several methods out there to create one's clone self, lad. But all of them ended as failures. You can clone yourself, and even put your consciousness into it. But the clone won't be able to sustain its life for any more than ten days. Moreover, this clone's strength will be turned into a classless mortal. Unless you create an artificial soul for the clone, it will die eventually.'

'It's alright. Give me one suitable method.' Charles didn't put much thought into it and ordered.

Meanwhile, the Holem's Crown let out a helpless sigh and sent a collection of information to his mind.

If it were another Ancient Mage, he would have difficulty recalling tens of thousands of years old memories.

Fortunately, the Holem's Crown had [Historian] class's [Recall] skill.

On the other hand, Charles received a bunch of information and started skimming through it.

After a whole minute of silence, he turned his gaze towards the black cane and smiled wryly.

'This method is too costly and too complicated...'

'Why are you complaining? You have so many advantages. During my childhood days, I have done many chore works and even worked as a beggar for three years. I rose step by step, and reached the realm of Legendaries at the age of 3,000! But here, you already started complaining only after working for six months. Humph, if you want to achieve something, you have to be patient.' The Holem's Crown said in a displeased tone.

'Stop acting like you are my Teacher.' Charles glared at the black cane.

'Humph, even if you didn't admit it, I already became your Teacher.'

Ignoring the artifact's nonsense, he leaned his back against the sofa and entered the Inner World.

A moment later, his consciousness form appeared in front of a large lava pool, and he looked around.

Charles saw that the whole surroundings had started to change into a fire plane. He even saw many volcanic mountain ranges, lava lakes, pools, and even one large sea appeared far away.

He turned his gaze towards the right side and saw his half-finished 'Incarnation.'

Currently, it was standing a few hundred meters away from him and waving its hand in his direction.

'This consciousness has already started acting more like a normal human.' He also waved his hand and turned into flames before teleporting.

A moment later, a humanoid flame appeared in front of the Clone' Him' and formed into an illusionary appearance of a blue-haired young man.

Then, Charles turned his illusionary self into a white-haired old man's one and smiled at the clone.

Although both were his own consciousness, Charles could feel that the other party was already evolving into a unique one.

Nodding inwardly, he looked at the clone 'Charles' and asked.

"What is your name?"

At that moment, confusion dawn on the clone's face.

The clone then tilted its head, pointed its illusionary hand at its head, and spoke in confusion.

"Charles? No, I'm not Charles... Maybe a remnant memory? Yes, I'm a memory with no name."

A surprise flashed on Charles's face.

Then, he stared deeply into the clone's eyes and asked like a devil.

"Do you want to become a real 'Charles'?"

At that moment, hesitation, unwillingness, anxiety, and confusion appeared on its face.

The clone stared at Charles for a few seconds and shook its head.

"I'm nothing but a part of 'You.' If I separated from this Inner World, my consciousness will die in a month or two."

'This consciousness...' He was stunned inside.

'Hehe, I can already see through its inner emotions. Hmm, after reading many of my memories, this 'guy' already started to gain emotions. Heh, this consciousness wants me to create a clone body for itself, huh... With a living body, it wants to live more like a normal human... As expected of a crafty fellow...' He turned his face into a solemn one and nodded.

"I will give you a body when I advance into Rank-5 and let you enjoy on your own. As long as 'I' become an omnipotent being, you can continue enjoying that life forever."

Meanwhile, the Clone 'Him' pondered for a moment and nodded its head.

"Good. From now on, you are the real Charles and I'm Oswald Raven. Now, there is something I want you to do using my real body. Can you do it?" He asked.

Although the 'Clone' didn't understand his words, it didn't put much thought into it and nodded.

"Excellent. Before I give you this mission, I will turn you into a complete 'consciousness.'"

Saying so, Charles appeared in front of his illusionary 'Clone' form and started analyzing all the memories.

'Hmm, cold, calculative, and calm emotions are lacking.' He closed his eyes for a moment and opened his hand.

At that moment, tens of stones, pebbles, liquid lavas came out from different directions and started turning into simple red clouds.

Without wasting any time, Charles directly sent the memories into his 'Clone' self and started to act.

He sent countless memories into the illusionary form for the next few hours and modified his 'Consciousness' into a unique Charles.

Once he turns this 'Consciousness' into a smart one, he looked up at the 'Soul Heal' spell model and turned into a flame before teleporting.

A moment later, he appeared in front of the 'Soul Heal' spell model and started extracting a bit of 'Love' and 'Care' emotions from it.

Those emotions appeared more like a ball of bluish-green flame!

He once again turned into a flame before teleporting and reappeared in front of the clone 'Him.'

Then, he closed his eyes and started extracting all his memories about Destiny Lady from the Inner World.

Then, he replicated those memories and made 'Destiny Lady' look unique and attractive in the newly modified memories.

'No, just attractive won't be enough to induce this consciousness's inner emotions. I need to add something else.' He frowned for a moment and soon blinked his eyes.

'Destiny Lady is definitely searching for 'Charles.' Why not modify those memories and made it look like she is using an excuse to get close to Charles?... Nah, my 'clone' is not a dumb idiot... I shouldn't make it looks like a forced one... Wait. What if I tell Destiny Lady that 'Charles' has a crush on her? If I give her some hint that he has some feelings for her, she would definitely use it as an opportunity and gets close to him...'

'Yes, I also made a prank on her at the end of the Chester City incident... That will definitely dismiss her suspicion. She wants to find some clues about her missing lover. To achieve her goal, she would go on any length.' He nodded his head and only made a few modifications in those memories.

After that, he fused them with the 'Love' and 'Care' emotion flames and directly pushed them into the clone's chest!

The next instant, the clone knelt on the ground and gripped its head.

Countless information about Destiny Lady, their previous interactions, her worried reactions, cold attitude, and the blood dimension battle incidents started to appear one by one in the clone's mind.

Although the clone felt something odd about the new memories, it didn't put much thought and absorbed it completely.

A few seconds later, the clone 'Charles' stood up and nodded its head.

"Good. Familiarise yourself with these new memories and wait."

Saying so, Charles turned into a flame and left the Inner World!

A moment later, he opened his amber eyes and noticed that it was already morning.

"I should go and get some rest." He muttered inwardly, gripped the black cane, and stood up from the Lawson Sofa.
