Angel asked another question: where had the body that made up the Giant-Axe War Soldier come from?
It was Angel's first time seeing a brain bug, but it was also his first time seeing this body, which resembled a "troll." It looked like a troll, yet upon closer inspection, it seemed somewhat different.
Takiana fell silent for a moment, seemingly communicating with some scholar outside through the Heartfire of her avatar.
A minute later, she gave him an answer.
Her answer surprised Angel greatly.
Originally, Angel had assumed that the Giant-Axe War Soldier's body came from a Demonic Beast captured by Yingji Race warriors. Who would have thought that assumption was completely wrong?
The Giant-Axe War Soldier's body had been artificially cultivated!
According to Takiana, Yingji Race scholars used special methods to extract flesh-and-blood factors from Demonic Beasts, then used those factors to cultivate complete bodies.
Even as Takiana explained it, she sounded confused. Clearly, she was merely repeating what she had been told and had no understanding of the deeper principles involved.
But after hearing this method, Angel was utterly dumbfounded. Ice Country had entered the great age of cloning...?
This sounded like biological amplification technology—what Earth's scientists called cloning technology.
Angel did not know much about cloning. He had only glimpsed it once on the Holographic Tablet. It seemed to involve discarding the egg cell's DNA, combining somatic-cell DNA with the egg cell's outer shell, and then cultivating it biologically.
This was the so-called asexual reproductive cloning.
And this cloning method seemed faintly aligned with what Takiana had described: extracting flesh-and-blood factors to cultivate a body.
Could they really be using cloning technology?
Angel's face was full of surprise, and his expression grew increasingly strange. Even Takiana could tell that Angel seemed to be thinking in some unknowable
