Now, the experiments had reached near-perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Warhammer 40K universe, creating doppelgangers was standard practice among many powerful figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor himself had multiple avatars, and the renowned tech-sage Belisarius Cawl was famous for his Persona Matrix, a layered consciousness far beyond what ordinary beings could comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cawl's doppelgangers often said, \"Each of us is Belisarius, yet we're not him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden had a similar ability to create doppelgangers, though he couldn't match Cawl's level and couldn't produce fully independent personalities. Instead, he could split his consciousness, multi-tasking by controlling multiple avatars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In effect, each of Eden's doppelgangers was him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This required substantial mental energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without sparing a glance, Eden bypassed the first row of cloning tanks. These initial, basic clones weren't what he needed at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moss had progressed to the third batch of customized clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether this was Eden's main body or an avatar, that was a secret only he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking further, he arrived at the third section, where more specialized clones were being developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the bizarre versions of himself floating in the tanks, Eden raised an eyebrow:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's all this? I don't recall authorizing these designs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each tank held a modified version of Eden's clone. There was a grotesque version, an insectoid version, an octopus version, an ogryn version, and even a large-eyed, anime version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moss admired them, a hint of pride in his voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These clones are inspired by ideas I gathered on the tech forum. Don't you think they're wonderful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden glanced at the clones in silence, then nodded, remarking, \"You're quite proactive with your research. I appreciate the initiative...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your praise, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moss's voice almost quivered with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed to a specific tank, eager to show off, \"Look at this! My latest masterpiece! Surely, you'll be impressed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden squinted at the tank, then looked back at Moss's expectant expression, grinding his teeth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who taught you to do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the tank floated a female version of \"Eden,\" with a shapely figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moss blinked, confused, \"Kaul suggested it, saying it would earn your praise...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Eden chuckled angrily. Of course, it was Kaul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he grabbed his communicator, instructingWebbyto mute Kaul across all his forum accounts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he wasn't getting the praise he'd expected, Moss seemed deflated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't think of it that way,\" Eden reassured him. Gesturing at the female clone, he continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not a bad design—it's just... unnecessary. Destroy this one. As for the others, keep refining them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With renewed enthusiasm, Moss explained that the clones were still in the preliminary stages. With additional samples, he could further enhance them to achieve a viable level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the insectoid version of \"Eden.\" If he could acquire a high-level Tyranid specimen, Moss could merge its genetic traits, creating a clone capable of controlling insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such creativity,\" Eden thought, speechless. Catching a live Tyranid? He'd rather never see one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, these clones showed promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's see the custom model,\" Eden ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he was led to a specific tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside floated a frail, hunched young man with dark skin, sporting minor mutations—a perfect replica of an underhive dweller. The face bore a faint resemblance to Eden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a datapad, Moss described the enhancements:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As per your specifications, this body has radiation-resistant genes and can withstand high-radiation environments. Its lifespan, however, will be short, lasting no more than a day. Special conduits embedded in the bones allow for optimal psyker use...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden nodded in approval. This clone would enable him to move undetected through the tight tunnels leading to the underhive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Moss's command, the tank's nutrient solution drained, and the glass casing opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All parameters are ready. You can use this body whenever you wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping forward, Eden placed a hand on the clone's head, initiating the doppelganger process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he activated his power, he felt his consciousness splitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm energy enveloped the detached fragment of his mind, which then flowed into the clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the transfer completed, Eden assumed full control over the new body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process had cost him 500,000 units of Hope Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously controlling multiple bodies created an unusual sensation. His main and doppelganger consciousnesses operated independently yet remained unified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Eden, it was a manageable strain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone's eyes snapped open, and he pulled free from the cords, stepping out of the tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stumbling a bit, he began a series of exaggerated movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing, Moss assumed it was some kind of ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, Eden was merely doing a set of calisthenics to adjust to the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, the clone's movements became fluid, as natural as his own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied, Eden equipped his doppelganger with special armor, a cloak, and a small psyker staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lifting the staff, the clone focused its powers, generating golden lightning that pulsed menacingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In full force, the psychic energy would easily devastate everything around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well done, Moss. This body is perfect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden nodded approvingly as his clone subdued its power, standing quietly to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading the clone out of the bio-lab, Eden paused, turning back to Moss,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, your modified oil recipe is far superior to Kaul's. Well done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the tech workshop...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul finished designing the latest sentry mech, tossing the blueprint aside with a grumble,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is ridiculous. There's always more to do. I need time for my own research!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lately, with Eden assigning him endless weapon design and optimization tasks, he had little time to enjoy browsing the tech forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absentmindedly, Kaul opened the forum and immediately erupted in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Outrageous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, pinned at the top, was a popular post:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moss's Modified Oil Recipe is the True Original! (P.S. Approved by the Governor Himself)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul seethed, \"That lying thief Moss, spreading nonsense again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furious, he clicked on the post, ready to lash out and ban Moss's accounts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to find himself blocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who muted all my accounts?!\" he yelled, distraught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cries drewWebby'sattention. The Machine Spirit promptly restricted his forum access entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Webby... Machine Spirit, please... I can't live without the forum!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his workshop, Kaul's pleas echoed pathetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance to the tunnels...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden, now appearing as a frail psyker, stood before the thick iron door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pouring his full awareness into this clone, he designated it as his primary control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As workers operated the machinery to open the heavy door, Eden's doppelganger stepped inside without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the door closed, he gazed into the pitch-black passage, which had already claimed nearly a thousand lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the real adventure was just beginning...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Check Out My Patreon For +20 Extra Chapters On All My Fanfics!!
