"Clone Technology is just a matter of research on telomere extension. I used Clone Technology to replace all my tissues and organs except my brain, and extended the telomeres of my own brain, thus increasing its lifespan. If one day my brain reaches its lifespan limit, I can transfer my consciousness to a newly cloned brain."
Genus pushed up his Glasses and said with a proud look on his face.
He just wanted to show off in front of his former colleagues.
"With your abilities, it's not surprising that you can do these things."
Dr. Kuseno was indeed surprised, but not nearly as surprised as Genus had imagined.
"Let's talk about the so-called attending physician and genetic disease first, Mr. Meikyō. Although you are a hero, Dr. Genos is not a righteous person. I need to know your purpose before I will lend you access to the supercomputer."
Dr. Kuseno said with a serious expression.
Genos's face showed a look of astonishment.
"Teacher Meikyō, what is genetic disease? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"
Of course, it's because this is a story that Genus and I made up yesterday!
Meikyō silently complained to himself, then took out an USB drive and handed it to Dr. Kusuno.
"Dr. Kusuno, you must know the origin of my heroic title 'Scarlet Ninja', right?"
Meikyō asked Dr. Kusuno.
"Of course, is it your eyes that turn red when you activate your ability? I saw a description of that in the latest issue of the Hero Encyclopedia; that's the origin of your genetic disease?"
Dr. Kusuno asked with interest.
He bought the latest issue of the Hero Encyclopedia mainly to see things related to Genos, but he also paid a little attention to Uchiha Meikyō and Saitama, which Genos often mentioned.
"Ah, that's how it is. This is an ability passed down through generations of our Uchiha Clan. According to our ancestors' research, it's a special energy generated by the brain when we experience a strong emotional shock, which stimulates the optic nerve and opens the Sharingan. The Sharingan can only be opened if one possesses the genes of the Uchiha Clan. What I just gave you is a genetic information chart of the members of our Uchiha Clan throughout the ages."
Dr. Kusuno's eyes were immediately drawn to the USB drive in his hand.
So the information stored on his USB drive must be very valuable.
"However, while gaining immense power through the Sharingan, the Uchiha Clan also paid a price. For example, after raising the Sharingan to a certain level, frequent use of the eye's power, like I have, can lead to the loss of pupil power, gradual blindness, and significant stress on the body. In our clan's history, there are many examples of people dying young due to genetic diseases caused by the Sharingan. As the bloodline of our ancestors becomes increasingly diluted, we carry fewer and fewer ancestral genes, and the frequency of genetic diseases is increasing."
"I see. But why have I never heard of the Uchiha Clan before? And... where are your other clan members?"
"In this world, I am the only Uchiha."
Meikyō replied.
"I'm so sorry, child."
Dr. Kusuno's face showed deep apology.
Under Meikyō's deliberate guidance, Dr. Kusuno had already imagined a story where all of Meikyō's people died because of this genetic disease, leaving only him to struggle to survive and grow into S-Class Hero of the Hero Association.
As for why we haven't heard of the Uchiha Clan, it's probably because this group suffered from a genetic disease, resulting in a dwindling population and leaving only Uchiha Meikyō as the sole survivor.
The genetic sample data I have cannot be faked.
"Uchiha Meikyō was lucky because he met me, Dr. Genos, the most outstanding biologist on this planet. And I was also lucky to meet Uchiha Meikyō, from whom I was able to find the perfect genes related to human evolution!"
Dr. Genos then took over the conversation and began his speech.
"In order to get rid of the genetic disease in his body, Uchiha Meikyō obtained an extremely powerful body through training. This allowed him to alleviate the genetic disease to a great extent, and he even looked no different from ordinary people. However, this was not a cure. And it was at this time that he captured my experimental subject, Mosquito Girl, and learned about my talents."
So he and his companions stormed the House of Evolution, defeated my most powerful creation, and demanded that I, the best biologist on the planet, cure his genetic disease through biological means.
At this point, Dr. Kuseno roughly understood what Genus meant.
"Do you intend to use this gene sample to reconstruct the genes of the Uchiha Clan's ancestors, allowing Uchiha Meikyō's genes to revert to their ancestral state and cure his genetic disease?"
"That's right, and in this process, Uchiha Meikyō will also be able to obtain even greater power from the genes of his ancestors, and I will also witness the birth of a more evolved and perfect human being!"
Dr. Genos raised his hands high and spoke with great passion.
It was half real and half fake; he acted so well that he even believed it himself.
Dr. Kusuno and Genos also believed it.
"Is that so? Teacher Meikyō's formidable strength is not only due to his bloodline, but also because he trained himself through a series of hardships since childhood in order to cure his illness, which is why he has such terrifying strength!"
Genos looked as if he had just Satori.
"Sigh, I'll help you with this, but remember, never use the power I gave you to hurt innocent people!"
Dr. Kuseno said to Meikyō with a solemn expression.
"Doctor, you can rest assured that I will never harm any innocent civilian in this world."
Meikyō, with a serious expression, spoke in a deep voice to Dr. Kusuno.
Dr. Kusuno nodded and then looked at Genus.
"Genus, I will keep an eye on you and will not allow you to use the power of the Meikyō to do anything reckless!"
"I understand, I understand. After all, my original intention was simply to evolve into a more perfect and powerful human being."
Genus waved his hand impatiently.
"That would be best. Now, tell me your treatment plan. Don't try to fool me. Although I am good at mechanics, I also have some knowledge of biotechnology."
Dr. Kusuno warned Genus.
So, Genus presented his "treatment plan" to Dr. Kuseno once again.
Dr. Kusuno was indeed as knowledgeable as he said, and he spent several hours looking at the materials that Genus had presented to him.
Meikyō and Genos sat quietly to the side, not disturbing the conversation between the two scientists.
"Theoretically speaking, your design is indeed feasible. You're truly a genius, Genus."
Finally, Dr. Kusuno put down the documents in his hand and exclaimed in admiration.
"I can improve your nanorobot production line, increasing efficiency while reducing costs by about 30%. I already have the equipment here, and I estimate that the production line can be set up and enough nanorobots can be cultivated in two days."
"In that case, the funds will be sufficient, and we can begin the modification... treatment of Uchiha Meikyō in three days."
Genus quickly changed his tune.
Three days later.
In Z-City, at one of Dr. Kusuno's research bases.
"Genos, didn't you Meikyō had some kind of illness? Why aren't you going to the hospital for treatment? Why are you here?"
Saitama picked his nose and asked Genos beside him.
"Saitama- sensei, Teacher Meikyō suffers from a hereditary disease, so he needs high-tech treatment. Dr. Kusuno, who once saved me, will also be involved in the process. Teacher Meikyō invited us here to ensure that the treatment process will not be interrupted by any unexpected accidents, otherwise, it could be life-threatening for Teacher Meikyō!"
Genos stood at the door of the treatment room and spoke to Saitama beside him.
"Oh, I see! I understand now!"
Saitama's expression immediately turned serious.
Uchiha Meikyō was, to some extent, a friend of his. Since this matter concerned his friend's life, even someone as goofy as Saitama would take it very seriously.
Inside the treatment room.
"I've already borrowed the supercomputer. This time it's not just about using the supercomputer to calculate models, but about controlling the nanobots to modify Meikyō's body cells based on the real-time calculation results. So I used a lot of connections to borrow the supercomputer itself here."
Dr. Kronos looked at the large screen erected in front of him and said.
Behind the screen was a whole row of servers, almost filling up a small square.
"Yosh, with the computing power of this supercomputer, I'm confident I can compress the whole process into under three hours! Meikyō- kun, are you ready?"
Dr. Genos asked Meikyō, who was sitting cross-legged on the operating table, with an excited expression.
"Then, I'll begin."
Meikyō turned her head and looked at a tall mecha located on one side.
The brain that Genus cloned using his cells is placed inside this mech. Meikyō had previously tested it using the Spirit Transformation Technique, which showed that it could accommodate Meikyō's spirit for a long time.
Meikyō Hand Seals, closed his eyes, and guided the spirit to float out from the top of his head.
"Even though I've seen it once, I still find your ability incredible. All your physical indicators are perfectly normal, but the activity level of your cerebral cortex suddenly drops sharply, making you almost like a vegetable."
Dr. Kusuno looked at the electrocardiogram and other data displayed on the instrument screen next to him and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
