Chapter 200: Experimenting With Victoria's Clones

The day after Javier gone, we gathered together again when Albert is not busy. It's about what I forgot to ask, but Victoria asked Javier about it.

"So, Rama wrote that story about you, from another Aura user who can see the past?"

"Yes. That's what Javier told me. He made the Evil God as the hero in the first book because at the time of the publishing, stories about anti-hero protagonist won't be able to be released. Everyone wanted to be a hero. If people started to have a dream about becoming an anti-hero or villain, it will be bad for the kingdom that he just built." Victoria explained how the Evil God became a hero in Rama's book.

Now that I thought about it, there are too many plot holes I forgot to ask Javier! And now that he's gone, I will never know about them! How can I be so stupid!

"What about that Aura user who can see the past?"

"Javier said that she and Rama went to fight the Evil God together. Then she left looking for the Evil God after his power is sealed. She told Rama that she's going to kill the Evil God before something happened again. Looking at the present, we can tell that she failed to kill the Evil God. Maybe she never found him?"

"And you spoke to Sonia about it last night?"

"Yeah. Just informing her on how in the story, the author seems to know about us."

"And Sonia forgot to ask about it to Javier? I thought I'm supposed to be the forgetful one."

An Aura ability that lets you know about the past… that's really useful. But it's kind of scary.

Aura user will gain new ability from what they desired in their heart. That mean that person who can see the past truly desire to see something in the past. What is it that made her want to do that?

Everyone want to see the past, but for that person to truly desire it from within her heart, there must be something happened. Though I won't ever know about it. I guess I'll forget about it.

"But it's good that everything that we learned are the most important parts. Now we need to discuss about the future instead of the past." Albert said.

"Like I said, we need to find other ancient magic items. There should be something we can use against the Evil God. And he should have told some members of his cult to do that as well. To enters Dungeons and Ruins so they can find magic items for themselves. Just like how they disguising themselves as weak mages to enters dungeons." I said.

"You mean back when you found that fishnet stocking?" Victoria asked.

"Now that you mentioned it, I heard that there's a Living Armor who wears fishnet stocking. That Living Armor is the one responsible in killing the Giant Salamander."

I noticed Albert is grinning at me. He must have thought of teasing me. I won't let him have his fun.

"I feel pretty sexy at the time. Wanna try wearing it?"

"…no thanks."

It has been a long time since the accident, so I'm quite cool with saying it. But I don't want to wear them again. That Fishnet stocking, I already returned it to Sophie. Though she said that anyone can wear it if they want.

"Basically, what we do won't be changed. We'll try to find anything that can be used against the cult and that Evil God. Sonia, try to contact Veronica if there are any summoners who are close with the Evil God, or the Archbishop."

"Last time I met her was a few days ago. She said that she's traveling to another country, so I might not be able to meet her until she says it's clear. She will call me when she arrives." Sonia said.

"Which country?" Albert asked.

"I don't know. She didn't tell me. But she said that the cult is trying to spread their belief to the people of that country. Which probably means that that country is still safe from the cult."

"I see. I'll try to contact other kings and leaders of their countries and tell them about the cult. We might be able to stop the cult before they spread to the higher ups of other countries. It will be terrible if any of the kings have joined the cult." Albert said.

I guess that's it for the discussion about the future. Now for another important thing…

"Victoria, try to make clones as much as you can."

"You want to try it here?"

"Yes."

Soon, the room is filled with black slimes. She can make this many? It's a lot!

"I think there are roughly a hundred of my clones. Like Javier said, they don't have intellect, but can still follow your order like Blobby. They are group of Blobbies!"

Blobbies? What a funny name.

I grabbed one Blobby and try to transform it into an armor. But it's too small and just barely able to cover my face.

Then I had the Blobbies to gather around me and turns into the armor I used during the stampede. Not all of them gathered around me, but just about twenty of them.

"Wait wait wait! Do that again!" Victoria suddenly said.

"What?"

"Do that again! But this time, say 'Transform!' while making a pose!" Victoria said.

"…fine."

She has so many things that she wants to fulfil. Just what is up with her world?

But I still do it anyway. It seems fun.

So, I did it again, and dozens of Blobbies surround me.

"TRANSFORM!"

And made a pose with my arms spread open to left and right, and I raised my left foot as well.

And I…transformed into a clown. A clown in all black.

"Why a clown!? Why not that armor before!? It was cooler with the armor!" Victoria asked angrily.

"This is way funnier. Look at this belly! So fluffy! Touch it."

Of course, the clown I transformed into is that in the form of Clarence. The fat clown. Using Blobbies, I got even fatter. Unfortunately, the color is all black. What kind of clown wearing all black? Clown should have worn something bright colored.

Then Victoria, and even Albert, touching my huge belly.

"Oh, this is so fluffy indeed. Wait! This is not what I want!" Victoria shouted angrily.

"How many months is it, Ma'am?" Albert asked.

"8 month. The due date is soon." I said jokingly.

"Don't play around, you two fools!" It was Marie who told us to stop.

I guess I shouldn't go any further. She must be jealous seeing her husband touching someone else's belly.

Marie is here with Lana in her arms, and Alan is being carried by Ian. Both few months old babies are looking at me happily.

"Gyahaha!"

"Au gyaha! Pleb! Ha!"

"Wait! Did Lana just spoke her first word!? And that is not something I want a baby to say as her first word! Even more, from a royalty!"

Did I hear it correctly? Lana just said 'Pleb' at me and laughed? I'm fine with being laughed at, but who the hell taught her that word?

"Lana? That's just a random word, right? You didn't actually say something, right?" Albert looked at Lana worriedly.

Albert and I were the only ones worrying about Lana's first word, while the others are laughing.

"Come on, Lana! Say, Dada!" Albert said.

"No! Say, 'You have failed me, father'." I said.

"That's too difficult for a baby to say!"

"But you didn't deny that, right?"

While we both arguing, Lana spoke again.

"Pleb! Ahaha! Pleb!"

"Lana! No! You can't say that word!" Albert shouted.

"Pleb pleb."

This time, the voice is coming from the baby Ian carried.

"Even Alan? Please say Dada or Mama like normal babies!" Albert begged

And today is marked as the day that both babies spoke their first word. Let's pretend that I didn't hear anything. No babies said anything about plebian.

"Anyway, let's continue the experiment. Have four Blobbies spread into four corners of the room."

After hearing my order, four Blobbies moved toward each corner of the room. I had them on standby there.

"What are you trying to do, Roy?" Victoria asked.

"This!"

Then I used my summoning magic to make a portal. Since the blobbies are the clones of my own summoned monster, I hope that I will be able to open up a portal to each of them if they are separated. This way, I can move quickly to another location using portal.

Then, as I hoped, two portals appear in the room. One is in front of me who is still wearing my clown transformation, and another is in front of the Blobby that I targeted.

Then I quickly jumped into the portal and I appear in the location where the other portal is.

"Is that… the portal that summoners can use to travel to Monsters World?" Albert asked.

"Yes. And by using my clones, Roy is able to make a portal to travel in this world. I guess that's what he wanted to do." Victoria said.

"That's right, but I still need more experiment." I said while making portal and transported to different corner of the room.

Then I grabbed the Blobby in that corner and try to rip it in half.

Unlike the real black slime which is immortal, the clone is able to take damage and got destroyed. But it was still able to endure when I tried ripping it in half. I can only do it when I put a little bit of Aura. But that mean even the clones are quite strong.

"…are you planning to give a clone to us just like Sonia's accessories?" Albert said. He is sharp indeed.

"Right. This way, I can travel to a lot of places. But the mana consumption is quite high. I don't think I'll be able to do it anymore today. I'm tired. I'll go back to my room today. See you tomorrow."

Having been exhausted, I return to the guest's room in the palace and slept as soon as I lie on the bed. Making a portal is good, but it was too exhausting.
