Chapter 644 The Clone Who Refused To Die
?In the deepest recesses of the Underverse, a place where distance and time were warped until it was impossible to plot your way through it by any conventional means.
It took a long time for the Major powers to be able to find a suitable path through the darkness of the Underverse, also the stronger you became, the easier it was to transverse through the Underverse.
In this strange space, a figure wearing red armor and a red cape pushed through the Underverse, his red eyes piercing through the darkness. The figure had suffered a disastrous wound that was slowly healing, as darkness was clinging to its edges.
It was a good thing that technically this figure had no delicate organs, even though it had eyes, brains, and a heart, this was all a mimicry of life, for his power lay inside the blood flowing through his body.
This was the Berserker Clone of Rowan that he had released years ago to search for the page of the Primordial Record inside the Underverse.
To avoid suspicion from others and not to attract unnecessary attention, he had released only one Berserker Clone, and he had been using the faint connection between himself and the Primordial Record page to slowly close the gap between them.
This light inevitably attracts the attention of the shadow creatures of this dark place, who feed on energy and vitality. Thankfully they were not too powerful, but they had the advantage of numbers, and it was a constant struggle to keep the Teleportation Lanes safe from their endless hunger and sabotage from opposing powers.
There were constant wars fought in the Underverse as the struggle for power and the right to control the Teleportation Passages were unending.
You could easily tell how powerful a Major power was by the number of Teleportation nodes that had, and the Berserker Clone made sure he avoided all the routes containing Teleportation Passages as much as possible, but that brought a new form of risk for it meant he came across more dangerous foes that did not need to use Teleportation Passages to move through the Underverse.
These individuals who could move through the Underverse without using Teleportation Passages usually have power at the level of gods, and so coming across any of them during his search would lead to death, as they would usually rob and kill anyone they came across that was weaker than them, and so if you were not at a particular power level it was advisable for you to not tread through the Underverse alone.
Rowan had not expected this Berserker Clone to survive for this long inside the Underverse, and he had planned to create a new Berserker Clone after the previous one was destroyed, and using the last location where the previous Berserker Clone was destroyed he would be releasing a new Clone there.
The reason he made this decision was because the only way for him to search for the Primordial Record lost page was with his Clones for they had the ability to sense his connection with the Singularity, an ability that his Angels lacked.
Rowan also knew that every new Berserker Clone he created would be stronger because they used his current body as a template, and so if the previous Berserker Clone would be destroyed, he would create a new one, and using the light of Astrolabe, he would be able to send the new clone to the last location of the destroyed clone, to make sure no ground was lost during the search.
Yet this Clone just refused to die.
