Chapter 206 William, in High Spirits (4000 words, please subscribe)
Sirius Dome, on stage!
Kirin held the activation device of "Senbakura" in her hand, and the red blade had already extended from the bewitching red Manaite.
Standing opposite her was the Alcant Research Institute's Mimic, Rimcy, with a solemn expression and an artificially beautiful face!
As for the Ardy Mimic made entirely of iron blocks with no discernible facial expression, it stood with its arms crossed, still exuding an arrogant air.
If you look closely at William now, his usual pale golden pupils have been completely replaced by a deep blue luster.
Actually, it wasn't just Fan Xinglu who was interested in them; William felt the same way!
"So that's it! This extraordinary concentration of Prana!"
"Kirin, you need to be a little careful. Their Mimic aren't made from the All-Purpose Ore."
The reason why Mimic has not been widely used in the world is actually because...
The Mimic created using Wanying Ore have a simple movement pattern and very low attack output.
Therefore, no matter what, the combat power created using Mimic can only be compared with that of ordinary Genestella.
Reaching the level of the Twelve Apostles is completely impossible.
Secondly, the manufacturing cost is not cheap either. Under the same cost-effectiveness, cultivating a Genestella is much more cost-effective than creating Mimic.
Kirin's eyes widened, her small mouth slightly open, and she asked in surprise.
"Senior, do you mean they are Mimic created using Manaite?"
There is no other option besides Manaite that can produce an energy source more powerful than Wanying Ore.
Even though Kirin hasn't been studying here for very long, she still has some basic knowledge of these things.
But it is precisely because she has some understanding of this that she has doubts about it!
"Senior, not all Manaite have a personality like...!"
Kirin subconsciously raised the "Senbakura" in her hand slightly, and the "Senbakura" seemed to respond to Kirin's radiant light.
"That's right, that's why I said they were very interesting!"
The concept of turning Orga Lux into Mimic is not a recent one; ideas about this have been proposed for a long time.
The Alcant Research Institute also allocated a large sum of money as dedicated funding for this research.
After all, while the performance of the Mimic may be somewhat criticized, its observability is simply impeccable.
While it is true that the cost of cultivating a Genestella is less than the cost of creating Mimic, it is still quite difficult to cultivate humans as tools and erase their own thoughts.
No matter how strict the organization's discipline is, defections still happen from time to time in the private organizations that companies cultivate!
However, Mimic are completely different. Their thoughts are all manually inputted at the factory, and their obedience to their owners is 100%.
Thus, the experiment of the Manaite Mimic began!
Things went very smoothly, as the manufacturing method was no different, and the Mimic equipped with the Manaite was quickly produced.
But the result was far from satisfactory!
The consciousness within the Manaite could not be completely expelled, and could only be allowed to occupy the body of the Mimic.
In fact, the vast majority of the Manaite are quite wicked and evil. The two Mimic they created began to wreak havoc the moment they were completed!
Therefore, it was only natural that this research was halted!
The appearance of these two Mimic suggests that the "Sculpture School," which specializes in studying Mimic, is likely still conducting its research in secret.
"But we don't know whether they successfully modified the mind of the Manaite, or whether they simply encountered a kind-hearted Manaite that is rare even in a thousand years!"
William looked at Ardy and Rimcy across from him with a probing gaze!
Rimcy frowned deeply at William's gaze, looking no different from a real human.
Ardy completely ignored William's gaze, even crossing his arms more dramatically, as if wanting William to get a better look.
"Human, you seem quite interested in us!"
"Then enjoy admiring our beautiful figures to your heart's content!"
"Bang--!"
A heavy, muffled thud suddenly rang out!
It was a Lux Armament, like a sniper rifle, that struck Ardy heavily on the head, producing a loud thud.
"Waaah--!"
Ardy immediately crouched down, clutching his head, and screamed.
After striking Rimcy of the Ardy, he coldly sheathed his greatsword and spoke in a rather disdainful tone.
"Shut up! You idiot, can't you see that the person on the other side has already figured out our true strength!"
"As expected, your useless, iron-headed brain deserves a proper makeover by your master."
"But—! We feel that we can't hide it from them no matter what. It would be better to let him observe carefully and appreciate the greatness of his master."
Ardy stood up again, his eyes gleaming with confidence.
"What you said isn't entirely unreasonable."
Rimcy paused for a moment, then uttered those words expressionlessly.
"I knew it, didn't I!"
