Earth's Greatest Magus

The reason Emery asked for the gene booster recipe was because it was very important for him. In fact, it wasn't just for him. Right now, in his mind, he thought of helping the Fey sisters and Morgana with the recipe, allowing them to advance just like him.

Emery definitely could not casually travel back and forth between Earth and Ouroboros Planet. Such an action was basically impossible for him right now, where the Nephilim Faction still acted as the caretaker of Earth.

Looking at the silent half-blood frog, Emery once again asked.

"Please, Mr. Bob. The recipe is very important to me. You can tell me how much it costs, and I will do my best to get it." He said in a sincere tone.

Bob stared at Emery and sighed. "I'm sorry, boy. I kan't and don't really have the say about your request for the recipe." He glanced briefly at Silva, before returning to the dejected Emery, "How about this? You go and ask the queen for it, and we'll see how it goes from there"

Hearing Mr. Bob didn't dare to decide and put a price on the recipe made Emery start to wonder if a rank 8 recipe would be so much more precious than he had assumed. Understanding that the other party was in a difficult position, Emery didn't press on with the request and nod in understanding.

He, however, believed he would eventually get the recipe. After all, it's a gene booster recipe that was specifically prepared for a unique, mutated bloodline.

This meant Emery was, arguably, the only sole buyer of this thing. They had no reason not to sell the recipe to him.

Either way, he needed to start to get more money. Otherwise, he could only yearn for the recipe in his dreams.

Thinking about the last time he had made quite a bit of money from selling the poison he harvested from the Caracas Flower, Emery wondered if he would find any other money-making opportunity like that.

However, his line of thought was quickly disrupted by Silva who was standing next to him.

The white-haired girl grabbed and held his arm, "I will help you talk with the queen. Don't worry, Emery."

She had done so many things for him, but Emery knew he would probably need her help in this matter. So, even though he felt uncomfortable accepting her help again, he just nodded his head. He wanted to ask how she was going to do that, but in the end he decided to hold his questions and simply put his trust in her.

Now that the procedure and the following tests have been finished, with nothing else to do here, Emery once again sincerely thanked Bob and his team for all that they had done for him.

"You're welkome. You're a good young man." Bob said with a smile. "I kan see why my niece likes you."

Emery just smiled in response. However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, Bob suddenly said information that surprised him once again.

"Oh yeah, before I forget. Now that your upgrade has been completed, you should make a new clone body as well."

Emery dumbfoundedly looked at the man, "Clone body?"

When he saw how genuinely confused Emery was, Mr. Bob just remembered he came from a lower realm. The half-blood frog awkwardly laughed to hide his blunder, "If you don't know about it, then how about you follow me and take a look at our storage facility for clones"

Mr. Bob took Emery to one particular section of the facility, which was heavily guarded by several magus. Seeing this, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of place was worthy of receiving such a level of security.

Emery walked in albeit hesitantly. As soon as he entered he was astonished at the sight that welcomed him.

Inside, Emery saw about a hundred tubes stacked next to each other, creating a corridor of tubes, all filled with liquid to the brim, in which he could see humanoid figures floating. Their eyes closed, as if they were in a deep sleep.

However, what took Emery by surprise was what his spirit reading perceived. He couldn't feel any spirit from those people in the tube, but from his senses, he could tell that their hearts were beating regularly and normally.

Noticing the expression on his face, Silva couldn't help but ask. "Is this your first time seeing a clone, Emery?"

"A clone?" Emery asked confusedly.

One could even imagine how surprised Silva was when she saw how Emery had absolutely no idea what a clone was.

"A clone is basically an artificial body created as an empty vessel, which can be used to become a new dwelling place for a magus' spirit soul."

When a magus died, while their soul could be kept and saved, the same couldn't be said for their physical body. Just like the case of Magus Nimeria and Magus Jigow, who both lost their bodies when their spirit souls were captured.

For human magus, this problem was easier to solve because they could just get template clones with many different specifications and easily insert their spirit soul into their prepared clone body. On the other hand, the bloodline magus had this problem a bit difficult, because they had to rely on clone bodies made of their blood.

"That's why most half-blood magus create a clone to keep as an insurance in case they die and need their original bloodline body."

Silva said. "My brother, mother and mine are also all stored here. It's one of the reasons why this place is so heavily protected."

As a note, Silva told Emery that all of these clone bodies only had a physical strength of rank 9 acolyte. As the process of becoming a magus needed to be repeated in order to receive the Immortal Body trait, hence when a magus died, they would have to restart and cultivate the physique from rank 9.

Hearing this information, Emery suddenly realized many things. The fact that even though Magus Nimeria could be revived, she would be in a weakened state for dozens of years before returning to her prime state.

This also reminded him of that Nephilim, Magus Hades. He couldn't help but wonder when the guy would be brought back to life and take his revenge on him. 

Now that Emery understood what he was getting into, Silva highly recommended him to make a clone for himself. A suggestion to which he nodded in agreement.

"So how do I make one?"

"For that, you need to purchase a clone form first. Don't worry, I can help you find them."

"Find them?" Emery asked in a confused tone as he did not understand what she meant.

"Yes. I mean, let's go shopping?" Silva asked with a smile. "I also noticed how you have so few spells, so let's get some of those as well. What do you think?"

"That's… sounds great."

Emery noticed how the girl seemed even more excited after hearing his agreement. However, just as they came out of the facility, they were stopped by a vehicle descending down from the sky. 

The vehicle door opened, and the two of them saw Vizla come out with several magus in tow.

"My bro Emery!" Vizla said with a wide smile. "I've heard about your upgrade! You are a superstar now! Wow!"

Looking at her brother, Silva waved her hand signaling him to move out of the way. "What are you doing, brother? Go away, we have other plans already!"

Vizla, however, did not budget. "Sorry, Sis. But your plans will have to wait. As soon as mom heard about his successful upgrade, she wanted to see him right away. That's why I'm here."

Silva went silent when she heard that. Seeing his sister speechless, Vizla took Emery into the vehicle. It swiftly took off to the sky, making its way towards the royal palace, while being guarded by a group of magus.
