Chapter 369: Clone One Returns, Codex of Life!

Rumble!

Black smoke billowed from the entire building. A large number of Pedestrians on the street looked in terror at the roaring building not far away, and warning sirens sounded over the entire city.

Dozens of figures darted out of the building, broke through the weak armed blockade, rushed into space, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The local Escort Team, whose bloodlust had already been worn away in peace, Looked at Each Other in Dismay. The pot-bellied Commander issued orders on the channel to clean up the mess, turning a blind eye to the retreating enemies.

The Tyron Tower below was ablaze with raging fire. On the top floor, the person in charge here sat in his soft chair, a huge hole blown in his chest, the blood already dried up.

And on the metal wall opposite him, inappropriate scenes for children were playing, with no shortage of young-aged creatures.

.........

"Your Excellency Stanley, I didn't expect you to be someone who likes to punish evil and promote good. With that evidence of crimes, we actually look more like Reformers rather than Marauders."

At the cabin, Anthony, who had just landed, teased Stanley.

Anthony grinned. He had also thought of this layer, so he was merely teasing a little.

This Spaceship was no longer the Dunbu Starship. In a previous battle, the Dunbu Starship had already Gloriously Sacrificed. This was a relatively outdated battleship.

Even the Main Cannon had been dismantled. It could roughly be treated as a travel Spaceship.

Everyone performed their own duties, taking out various supplies from the Compressed Space, sorting them out, ready to hand them over to Li Yu.

"Good job..." Li Yu gave his daily praise. Over forty days had passed since they left the Gilbert Galaxy.

During these forty-odd days, based on the information provided by Kansa, he acted against various branches of the Tyron Chamber of Commerce, robbing a full five Star System-level branches.

He obtained a massive amount of scientific research materials, Gene Chains, and armed Technology... the harvest was quite bountiful.

"My Lord, the Tyron Chamber of Commerce has already noticed us. I suggest we Lie Low and temporarily stop our actions." Stanley swiped a few times on his Smart Terminal, his expression grave.

Due to their successive actions, the Tyron Chamber of Commerce was furious, and issued high-priced Wanted Orders on both the Interstellar Network and the Black Hole Network.

Even though the Amethyst Civilization's internal affairs were this chaotic, with scavengers, Marauders, and various Armed Organizations everywhere, few factions dared to make a move against these colossal entities spanning across Interstellar space.

Those who made a move were some small Marauder Groups, licking blood off the blade's edge, living from meal to meal, completely unscrupulous.

Slightly larger factions would take into account the impact in all aspects and would only act against the Amethyst local chambers of commerce.

And Li Yu's group, leveraging this "no one dares to act" subconsciousness, blitzed across five Star Systems in succession, attacking the Tyron Chamber of Commerce, leaving them dumbfounded for a long time.

However, by now, the other party had also reacted and had long begun tracing their tracks.

"Hmm..." Li Yu nodded. Due to the catfish manager of the Tyron branch on the Heavenly Desolation Star, he didn't have any good feelings towards the Tyron Chamber of Commerce.

However, he didn't intend to clash head-on for the time being. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"That kid Kansa has also urged a few times. He feels Saster is probably going to cause trouble with him recently. Let's pick him up and withdraw."

The war within Amethyst was still raging like a fire, but Li Yu had avoided the locations of large-scale battles.

He was not yet capable of intervening in battles of that scale. Once, Li Yu observed a battlefield from a great distance and could feel that terrifying Energy Storm.

The peripheral Energy Level had already reached several million Calories, involving battles between Third-Stage Evolutionists, with hundreds of thousands of battleships facing off.

He could only engage in Picking Up Scraps for now. He couldn't get too much of such a massive cake as the Amethyst Civilization.

The Spaceship entered the Warp state. Li Yu routinely opened the System Log, not to observe Number Two's Star Wars journey.

But to see if Number Three had brought back the Superman Gene.

His Gene Chain Development Progress had already reached 100%. He just waited for the Superman Gene Chain to arrive, and he could use Wormhole Technology to transmit the gene to Peyton for him to research.

So these days, whenever he had free time, he would check the System, but it was always Gained Nothing.

But today, when he opened the System Log, the massive amount of information refreshed made him slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help but crack a wide smile.

Finally waited for you!

[Mission - Obtain enough Kryptonian Gene Samples - Completed - Time - 358 days...]

Just this time made Li Yu somewhat surprised. It actually took a year's time. As expected of Superman.

[...You arrived in this world, breathing the fresh air, standing in the distant orbit, looking down at this familiar yet unfamiliar planet...

This is a parallel universe. Apart from Superman, there are no other super Heroes on the planet. While this disappointed him, an interesting idea sprouted.

You thought of your Old Friend—Homelander, that weakened version of Superman...

You knew Superman's true name. With the power at the national level, you found the wandering Clark...

The first moment he saw you, he was shocked by the surging power in your body. He couldn't see through your body with X-ray vision; you made him feel threatened but also joyful.

It has been over ten years since Clark discovered he was different from ordinary people.

He finally found someone like him. Even though your origins were unclear, he knew he was finally no longer alone.

In the tense atmosphere, you revealed a gentle smile to him...]

Fuck, seeing this, Li Yu already had a bad premonition. Could this Clone One want to recreate Homelander? A genuine Homelander?

He continued reading with a dark face.

[...Time passed very quickly. In over half a year, you became close friends who talked about everything. You used your abilities to accumulate a massive amount of wealth, taking Clark to live an Indulgent Lifestyle...

...You knew where the Bottom Line of the Superman in front of you was. You never forced others, only using money to corrupt them.

Although Clark felt something was wrong, he couldn't put his finger on it...

However, a Superman who had already formed a mature worldview was clearly harder to corrupt. His adoptive father's wave in the storm remained forever etched in his heart.

But due to your subtle influence, he ultimately changed somewhat; his absolute white was tainted with a little grey.

Until he met Lois, that destined person, which also meant General Zod was coming.

On Clark's Kryptonian Spaceship, you could easily obtain Kryptonian Gene Samples, but you didn't act...]

Shit... He knew it. This Clone One really couldn't change his dead habits. He had the chance to complete the mission, but deliberately dragged it out, just playing around!

[Lois was very vigilant towards you. As a journalist, she had long heard of the notorious Fatherland Society...

Lois's appearance was only upper-middle among the women you had seen. It was her Identity as Superman's girlfriend that gave her bonus points...

You originally thought of stealing her away, but thinking that if Clark knew, he might just give Lois up, because the two hadn't experienced life and death yet, so you felt somewhat Disheartened...

.........When the entire world's communication was disrupted, you knew Zod had arrived...

The Plot flowed past your eyes like water. You didn't care much about Clark suffering setbacks...

Only when Martha was pushed to the ground did you frown slightly. You remembered that when you first visited, this old woman entertained you warmly.

This was also the first time Superman saw you take action. Piercing Thunder, tyrannical Magma, cracking Earth...

Kryptonite had no effect on you. Zod and his men were extremely terrified... not knowing where you popped out from.

Zod and his men, who hadn't been bathed in the yellow sun for too long, were not your match. You easily killed them... which also made Clark's eyes complex.

......Over a month after the battle ended, this boring world finally made you tired of it...

One morning, Clark, who was sleeping with his arms around Lois, suddenly opened his eyes, only to be met with a brick flashing green light.

Relying on Clark's own powerful Recovery Ability, under his confused and bewildered gaze, it took you a full ten days to cut enough flesh and blood from Clark's body, interspersed with your resentful cursing at the mission goal.

If it weren't for the requirement of "enough", you wouldn't have wasted so much time. After all, Clark was your Close Friends and Family!]

[Mission Completed - Avatar retrieved, cooldown time - 240 hours]

[Obtained Special Item - Superman's Flesh and Blood: Flesh and tissue from Superman, containing the Kryptonian Gene Pool - Codex of Life. Can be obtained by fusing or eating it.]

[Codex of Life: Contains the Kryptonian Gene Pool. Whether a Corporate Slave or a leader, it's all determined by destiny.

You can inspect your own gene pool and enhance it through similar genes that meet genetic characteristics to surpass limits.

Note: The Codex of Life is unique. Specific functions require the Host to explore.]

Li Yu's eyes gradually widened. Looking at the System's description, a wave of joy spread in his heart, and he grinned widely.

Stanley and the others Looked at Each Other in Dismay, their expressions strange. It was their first time seeing Li Yu's emotions change so rapidly in a short time, not knowing what had happened.

This time the harvest was definitely enough. Originally, when he saw halfway that Clone One had the opportunity to complete the mission but deliberately delayed, he was still somewhat displeased.

But now he just wanted to hug Clone One and give him two kisses. The Codex of Life was in Clark's body; the rest of the Kryptonians didn't have the Codex of Life.

If Clone One had gone to take other Kryptonians' Gene Samples to complete the mission, then Li Yu wouldn't possibly have obtained the [Codex of Life]. Fortune and Misfortune are Intertwined.

No matter what, Li Yu was quite delighted now. Eating it was definitely out of the question; Clark was also a humanoid creature, eating it would be too sickening.

Anyway, fusing it into a Gene Chain would also obtain it, so it's better to wait a little time.

Now everything was in place. Li Yu dialed Peyton's communication, still the same Poker Face as always. The two had communicated not long ago.

That was when Gust and the others arrived at the Return Star Central Star System. He briefly instructed Peyton.

"...With Klein's help, they have all obtained new Identities and joined the Laboratory."

Peyton thought Li Yu wanted to ask about this and said it in advance.

"There is a biological entity's Gene Chain that needs you to modulate." Li Yu explained.

Peyton was slightly stunned, and then his tone rippled slightly: "From an Alternate Dimension?"

Although he was somewhat resistant to the drudgery work of modulating Gene Chains, Li Yu had already told him that this was his first step in coming into contact with an Alternate Dimension.

Since he couldn't resist, he could only enjoy it.

"Which chamber of commerce are you using to express it over?" Peyton asked closely.

"No need for express..." Li Yu shook his head. Chamber of commerce wormhole express was his previous thought, but the risk was too great, because Interstellar express would inspect the items inside.

"If we use manual transportation, I'm afraid it will take some time..." Peyton frowned.

Li Yu smiled mysteriously and asked for the spatial coordinate system of Peyton's location.

Peyton was somewhat puzzled, not knowing what Li Yu wanted the spatial coordinate system for; Interstellar express didn't need a spatial coordinate system either.

However, in the next moment, Peyton suddenly took two steps back. He saw a Small Black Hole gradually forming in front of him, exuding a weak gravitational pull.

Peyton's expression was grave. This Black Hole thing was not something an ordinary person could play with. A slight lack of attention, and the starting point was Star System-level destruction.

Who launched this attack?

Having the ability to bypass Returning Star's ultimate Defense System—[Galaxy Veil].

Could it be... the Star Glory Empire?

They know I'm in Returning Star, so they want to eliminate me?

Has the Empire become this strong?

"Li Yu, I'm afraid I..." Peyton raised his head, already preparing to leave his last words. He was somewhat regretful that he hadn't seen the real Alternate Dimension Camp.

Before he finished speaking, he saw two clumps of bloody mess squeeze out of that fist-sized Black Hole.

"I didn't expect it could actually fit through such a small hole..." Li Yu muttered a sentence, looked up at the screen, and said somewhat confusedly: "What did you say?"

Peyton looked at the Metal Box on the ground with a complex expression, and also realized he seemed to have misunderstood.

"Did... you send this over?"

"Yeah..." Li Yu nodded and turned off the teleportation device. The Black Hole gradually disappeared before Peyton's eyes.

"It's a bit different from the plan. The sample on the left is more precious. After success, do not do any fusion experiments..." Li Yu exhorted:

"The one on the right doesn't matter, you can play around with it when you have time."

The one on the left was Clark's flesh and blood, and the right was Godzilla.

Because the Codex of Life was unique, Li Yu needed to be the first to fuse Superman's Gene Chain.

Peyton nodded, only one thought in his mind—directional Wormhole teleportation Technology, and it seemed to be portable. To what extent had the Dimensional Camp developed?

"About how long will it take to modulate?" Li Yu asked.

Peyton recovered his senses and estimated: "If it's an unknown A-Tier Lifeform, if things go smoothly, it will take at least a month."

"That Gust guy has some ability and can help a lot, otherwise the time would have to be extended at least several times."

Li Yu nodded; this time was within his acceptable range.

Tsk tsk... Codex of Life, Second-Stage Evolutionist, a great leap in Strength, it's coming right up.

With a joyful mood, he continued looking through the logs, and Number Two also refreshed quite a bit of information.
