BXBX NOVEL Chapter 107: Clone?
Despite their wounds, their expressions remained dull, showing no sign of despair even after confronting the large numbers of Half-Drows.
These are the injured mechanical soldiers that got out from the void space using the return card they got after killing Half-Drow Fire Mages.
They snapped into a salute as soon as they saw Selina. "Commander!"
Selina didn\'t even acknowledge the salute. She stepped forward, her eyes locked onto the two soldiers with a piercing intensity.
"Speak," she commanded, her voice cold and authoritative. "What happened in the Void Space?"
One of the soldiers, a man with a bandaged arm, took a breath before responding. "We… we made a discovery, Commander. Deep inside, there\'s more than just cavemen tribes."
"There\'s a massive army—thousands of them—Half-Drow elites. We don\'t know where they came from, but they have eliminated most of the original monsters that spawned in the void space and the entire Void Space is turned into an Elite Barracks."
The room fell into a stunned silence. Even the captain standing behind Selina felt a shiver crawl up his spine.
"Half-Drow elites?" Selina repeated, her tone low but dangerous. "How many?"
The soldier swallowed hard. "At least a thousand, maybe more. They\'re stationed inside the third layer, according to the footage Cave Crawlers sent us before they were destroyed, the Half Drows seemed to be preparing to attack us on a large scale, so we were sent out to get further instructions."
The soldier proceeded to detail the events that unfolded after they entered the void space, using a holographic display to show various videos.
They expressed their surprise at discovering a large population of cavemen. The narrative continued with an account of their attack on the caveman tribes, which was met with resistance from a large number of Half Drows.
Then the video feeds showed a vast underground space and thousands of Half Drows gathering towards a stone palace, information gathered by hundreds of small mechanical insectoid drones, known as cave crawlers, which they had deployed to dig underground.
"Hehe ha-ha," Selina\'s mind raced, processing the new information.
A crazy smile appeared on her beautiful face, as she licked her lips, delighted in finding a new toy to alleviate her boredom.
"A thousand Tier-3 Half-Drow… that was comparable to an elite army, led by someone. Hehe..."
"Did you find out why they haven\'t attacked yet?" she asked, her voice cold but thoughtful. "They could have wiped out you all and anyone else in there."
The soldier shook his head. "We don\'t know, Commander. All the cave crawlers we sent are destroyed before they can find more information."
Selina was quiet for a moment, her eyes narrowing as she considered the implications.
Finally, she spoke, her decision swift and firm. "You\'ve done well to bring me this information. Rest now but be ready. We\'ll be mobilizing soon."
She turned to the captain, who stood frozen behind her. "Prepare the backup troops. If the Half-Drow army is waiting for something, we\'ll find out what it is."
The captain nodded quickly, now that there was something to deal with, he didn\'t waste time.
He immediately notified all the bio-mechanical soldiers who hadn\'t entered the void space to start battle preparation and enter the void space.
Soon, hundreds of mechanical soldiers gathered from various mechanical shelters forming neat formations in front of the void gate, ready to enter at any moment\'s notice.
"Half-Drows, huh... an intermediate species," Selina murmured, her gaze intense and calculating as she looked out the window towards the Void Gate. "Things just got interesting."
As Selina stood there, deep in thought, the cabin doors creaked open again, drawing her attention.
The captain from earlier came back in, moving quickly but cautiously, flanked by two mechanical soldiers.
The two soldiers were carrying a large, tightly sealed black bag, one that looked disturbingly similar to a body bag.
They approached Selina and set the bag gently beside her, standing at attention, waiting for her command.
The air in the room grew heavier as the tension from earlier returned.
"Commander," the captain spoke with a respectful tone, though a hint of unease still lingered. "I brought the body you asked for."
He didn\'t quite understand why Selina had requested to bring the dead body of a soldier that was brought back from the Void Space, but he wasn\'t about to question her decision, especially not after the report they had just received.
One of the mechanical soldiers quickly unzipped the black bag, revealing the corpse inside.
The body was almost unrecognizable—charred beyond recognition, covered in burns and deep gashes.
Through the exposed wounds, you could see the soldier\'s silver, metalized bones and scorched internal organs.
Selina\'s gaze hardened as she looked at the remains, though her expression was unreadable.
The captain and the soldiers stood to the side, utterly confused, but unwilling to speak up.
Without saying a word, Selina raised her hand and bit down hard on her finger.
The soldiers watched in shock as she let a few drops of her own blood drip onto the corpse.
It wasn\'t long before the wound on her finger healed completely as if it had never been there, but the damage was done.
The drops of blood had already fallen.
The moment her blood touched the corpse, something unusual began to happen. The drops started to vibrate, slowly at first but with increasing intensity.
The soldiers had no idea what was going on, but the captain, with his Tier 4 strength and heightened senses, expanded his consciousness to inspect the situation.
What he saw sent a shiver down his spine.
The nanites inside Selina\'s blood, tens of thousands of them, had suddenly become active.
They moved with a purpose, devouring the dead flesh and beginning to multiply at a rapid pace.
Each passing second saw more and more nanites being created as they consumed the corpse, breaking it down at an alarming speed.
The soldiers watched, wide-eyed, as the tiny droplets of blood seemed to grow, expanding in volume, devouring the entire body bit by bit.
Soon, the once massive body of the mechanical soldier began to shrink, its features melting away.
The nanoids—tiny, advanced machines within her blood—spread like wildfire, rapidly multiplying and consuming the decayed flesh and metal.
Selina watched with a calm intensity as her blood drops pulsed with an eerie energy, spreading over the dead soldier\'s charred remains.
The body, now completely covered by Selina\'s nanites, transformed right before their eyes.
