The second clone

January 7, 2066.

In Wang Yi's pronucleus...

In the middle of an endless misty world floated a large, silver-white, oval-shaped egg. It had been quietly suspended there for over three years.

But on this day—

"Crack, snap..."

The egg suddenly began to shake from within, the trembling growing more intense with each passing moment.

A visible crack appeared on the silver-white eggshell, spreading quickly like a spider's web.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a sharp, silvery-white sickle-like blade burst through the eggshell.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, the entire egg shattered. Emerging from within was a creature over three meters tall, with translucent wings as thin as a cicada's wings. Its entire body was silver-white, resembling a humanoid form, yet it also had the characteristics of a praying mantis.

It had a streamlined body, a fan-shaped head with two long, trembling antennae, and large, iridescent, compound eyes. Between those eyes was a third, single eye, and on its forelimbs were two massive scythe-like blades lined with razor-sharp serrations.

Two pairs of wings, adorned with silver-gray secret patterns, rested on its back. The front wings were wider than the back, and the edges were jagged. Beneath them, its powerful hind legs were poised, brimming with explosive strength, allowing it to stand like a human.

Wang Yi looked down at his third body with curiosity, sensing the messages from it.

"Domain Master Level One..."

"It's truly a flesh-and-blood creature..."

"The body is even stronger than the Flame Star Beast, but I'll need to assess it more thoroughly."

"Huh? This secret talent..."

The large head of Wang Yi's new body, the "Zerg Clone," twisted a full 360 degrees, as if it had no bones.

The body of the "Zerg Clone" was unique—an exceptionally rare and special form of flesh-and-blood life.

The Void Zerg Clone's natural talent allowed its body to transform easily into any shape of life. A core inside it, the true essence of its being, housed its soul. Attacking other parts of its body would not be fatal.

As a special being aligned with the law of space, the Void Zerg Clone was naturally gifted in comprehending the laws of space.

For them, moving through space was as natural as a fish swimming through water. It was an instinct.

Once a Void Zerg becomes immortal, they can master the terrifying ability of teleportation. Even among immortals, they remain formidable.

Zerg Clone had three secret talents: "Void Stalking," "Void Fusion," and "Mimicry."

"Void Stalking" allowed Clone to leap through space at incredible speed, executing silent assassinations without leaving a trace—almost like the "Ten Thousand Streams" body technique, but even more undetectable.

"Void Fusion" enabled Clone to merge seamlessly with the surrounding space, rendering it virtually invisible, even to those proficient in space laws. In this state, Zerg clone's comprehension of the law of space was accelerated.

These talents made the Void Clone legendary assassins in the universe, feared by all. But due to their rarity, they were nearly extinct. There were fewer than ten Void Zergs known to exist, and they weren't even considered a full-fledged race.

If the golden horned beasts and the Demon Killers were the "giant pandas" of the universe, then the Void Zergs were like ancient creatures on the verge of extinction.

While their combat capabilities were formidable, the Void Zerg's third talent, "Mimicry," was even more remarkable. It allowed the Zerg to transform its body into any shape, mimicking other living creatures by absorbing their genetic material.

This mimicry extended to every detail—genes, cells, life force, and even soul energy. The Zerg could become an exact replica of its target, down to its memories and knowledge.

This ability made the Void Zerg the ultimate shapeshifter, earning them the terrifying moniker of "Void Headhunters."

However, their mimicry only worked on flesh-and-blood beings. Even so, it was an incredibly dangerous ability.

The Void Zerg also possessed mental power and force, concentrated within a silver-white core inside its body. Wang Yi noticed this core—a bead the size of a grain of rice—covered in intricate silver-gray patterns.

This core housed the Zerg's origin and soul and allowed it to use its psychic powers, force attacks, and talent abilities.

It also served as the Zerg's connection to the laws of space.

"Ssshh..."

Suddenly, the pool of silver-white liquid twisted and changed shape, transforming into Wang Yi's exact appearance—height, body shape, face, hair, and even his clothes.

But the clothes were actually part of the Zerg's body. The color shifted like a chameleon, until the replica became indistinguishable from the real Wang Yi.

Genes, cells, body, life energy, and even soul presence—all perfectly identical.

After the transformation, the Zerg's core remained hidden. Even an immortal being probing with divine power might not detect it.

"Ha, ha ha..." Wang Yi laughed to himself.

Although the Void Zerg's transformation wasn't as extreme as the Demon Killer's ability to "clone," it far surpassed the Demon Killer in its ability to disguise as other flesh-and-blood life forms.

Wang Yi could also feel the spatial changes within this new body.

"Swish!" He activated his body technique.

"Om~~"

The silver-gray crystal core within his body, seemingly hidden in another dimension, rotated slightly. The complex silver patterns on its surface fluctuated, resonating with the universe.

In the next instant, multiple copies of Wang Yi appeared in the void. Two, three, four... until there were hundreds of them.

All at once, the figures vanished, leaving only one Wang Yi.

"Amazing. It felt like I was one with space. I barely mastered the second level, 'Nine-Line Flow,' of the 'Ten Thousand Streams' technique, but now I easily surpassed one hundred..." Wang Yi was astonished.

Despite studying the laws of space for many years, Wang Yi's human form had only just begun to grasp the basics of the "Nine-Line Flow" technique.

But with the Void Zerg's domain master-level body, he could already perform the third level, "Hundred Streams," with ease.

"My current understanding of space is still far below that of Bolan. I've only managed this thanks to the Void Zerg's innate talent!" Wang Yi marveled.

The potential of the Void Zerg's space perception, combined with the Flame Star Giant Beast and his human form, would accelerate his progress in mastering the "Ten Thousand Streams" technique and the Yan Shenbing weapon.

Now, Wang Yi had made progress in the laws of space, time, and fire, surpassing most of the other top geniuses.

Even he wasn't sure how much stronger he would become.
