Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 147 Separation of Souls
Harvey only felt a throbbing pain in his head, and was helped down from the experimental table by Reiner with cold sweat all over his body. He had just completed a sneak attack on the church's high-level judge Zack Hyde in the magic network with Mr. Inner Demon.

In order to ensure the success rate of this cross-dimensional assassination, after the inner demon locked the coordinates of the Evil Moon Mountains in the magic net through the believers' summoning ceremony, they immediately drove the mental projection to the magic net area, and then saw dozens of blood cores representing the Knights of the Church's Inquisition Army rapidly gathering here.

Neither Harvey nor his inner demon could accurately determine which of these cores belonged to Chief Judge Zack Hyde. The best way was to not let any of them go.

So Harvey could only use all his mental power to guide the planetary energy gathering array connected to him in the real plane, and gather all the pure magic energy stored in it into an energy beam to shatter these cores one by one.

He and the inner demon were not worried that the other party would detect the danger and malice from the magic network space through the blood core. The energy beam could travel a distance of tens of thousands of meters. They hid at a very far distance, one person was responsible for locking the target, and the other was responsible for launching the attack.

"I hope that among these dozens of cores that I shattered, there really is Zack Hyde of the Divine Punishment Sect..." Harvey, exhausted both physically and mentally, politely said goodbye to Mr. Inner Demon who had been helping him, and immediately left the magic network space and returned to the real world.

Reiner helped him to the rest chair in the laboratory, and Egno still handed him a healing potion to restore mental strength and nourish magic power. After Harvey took it, he immediately closed his eyes and began to use meditation to guide the recovery of his mental strength.

At the latest by tomorrow morning, he should be able to see first-hand news about this terrorist attack on the spellcaster forum, and then he will be able to confirm whether his action was really successful.

While trying to focus his thoughts and guide his mental strength to recover, Harvey fell into a deep dream unknowingly.

After the familiar feeling of dizziness faded, he returned to the mysterious beach in the spiritual anchor.

Turning his head and looking around, he saw the three transparent round eggs containing miniature baby embryos that he had accidentally discovered on the beach last time. They were now quietly placed on the small hill that Harvey had deliberately piled up with sea sand.

Harvey originally planned to take some time to study them, so naturally he needed to place them properly to prevent them from being accidentally washed back into the sea by the tides brought by the waves, where they would be difficult to find.

Harvey couldn't help but start to wonder if it was because he devoured the three demon slayers who invaded his spiritual anchor on this beach that caused some unknown changes in this space, and finally gave birth to these three strange round eggs.

He had previously used magic patterns to locate and kill the undead priests of the evil orcs in the Ice Valley, and today he even used energy beams to destroy the blood cores of dozens of the Church's Inquisition Army, but he had never encountered a situation like the one before.

It seems that this strange thing can only be formed after using the strange devouring ability in the spiritual anchor to kill the opponent.

Magic could not be used in this space, and Harvey was unable to use the wizard's hand to control the round egg to observe it. He could only grit his teeth and take the risk to pick up one with his own hands and observe it carefully in front of his eyes.

The round egg tentacles were extremely soft, as if they would break if squeezed with a little force. Harvey felt that it was just like the water-filled balloons that he loved to play with as a child in his previous life, and he couldn't help but want to pinch it in his hands and play with it.

The soft round egg kept changing shape slightly in Harvey's hands, and the miniature baby embryo inside was slowly floating in the liquid. At first, Harvey felt that this thing was a little cold to the touch, but as the temperature of his palms permeated it, it seemed to be getting warmer and warmer, and gradually it felt a little hot.

He was shocked and immediately put the round egg back into the sand pile, but was surprised to find that it was constantly expanding and getting bigger. Finally, the eggshell could not bear it and burst with a puff.

The tiny baby embryo, stained with an unknown liquid, rolled out of the eggshell and began to grow almost instantly, as if it had gone through the developmental process of a person from a newborn baby to a child, then to a teenager and a young adult in just a few seconds.

Harvey was so scared that he took several steps back, his eyes wide open, his mouth open but no sound coming out.

A naked, hairless, pale human was lying face down on the beach less than three meters in front of him, but he was clearly just a fist-sized embryo just a few seconds ago.

Harvey's heart beat heavily with fear, and the strange man's body trembled slightly several times in the same frequency. Then he climbed up from the beach with stiff movements and slowly turned his head to face Harvey.

This...what's going on?

How come he...how come he looks exactly like me!
Harvey almost couldn't help but turn around and run away immediately, but curiosity and a strange sense of familiarity still controlled most of his mind, making him unable to move and stay where he was.

The strange, pale human in front of him... no, it should be said that this was a newborn human who looked exactly like Harvey. He just stood there quietly, his lifeless eyes staring blankly at Harvey for a long time.

He didn't know how much time had passed when Harvey suddenly felt a little embarrassed. This feeling even briefly masked his inner fear and curiosity. The other person had the same face as him, but he was standing there naked. It made him feel like he had just taken a shower and was running naked in the mirror. How fucking embarrassing!

After waiting for a while and finding that the pale clone was still motionless with lifeless eyes, Harvey finally plucked up the courage to approach him.

He stretched out his hand tentatively, spread his five fingers and placed them on the other person's chest. He wanted to try to feel whether the other person was really a living human being, whether the heart was beating normally, and whether the skin had a normal temperature.

The moment the palm just touched the other person's chest skin.

Harvey felt as if his mental strength, thoughts, and soul were instantly split in two. The illusory feeling of being torn and disintegrated made his entire body cold and numb. His eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

After he adjusted for a few seconds and immediately opened his eyes to regain his sight, he found that the person standing opposite him had suddenly changed his appearance.

The face was still his own, but his lower body was suddenly covered with a funny, ill-fitting, baggy swimming trunks with a strange pattern of SpongeBob SquarePants from the cartoon drawn on it.

But the other person's eyes were no longer dull, but were moving around smartly, observing him intently.

No! He didn't put on pants suddenly!
Harvey suddenly noticed something unusual and immediately looked down at his body, only to find that he was standing there completely naked, pale and bare.

My soul and mind have been transferred to this weird clone?

No, he was so scared that he quickly raised his hand close to his original body, wanting to return to his original body in the same way.

The original body in shorts also raised his hand almost synchronously with him, and touched Harvey's palm to palm.

"Huh? What's going on?" Harvey couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He felt his sight immediately shifted back to the pants themselves, and he uttered the same sentence almost at the same time.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Harvey immediately understood the problem because he found that he could control both his original body and the clone's body at the same time, making the same movements and speaking the same words.

Moreover, because the two people are standing at different angles, they can obtain two different perspectives almost at the same time.

"Is this... the legendary state of... separation of spirit and soul?"

He carefully began to familiarize himself with manipulating two bodies at the same time, and gradually began to adapt to multitasking, making them perform different movements, sometimes clapping, sometimes squatting.

"Am I schizophrenic now?" Harvey in Pants muttered to himself with a frown.

"If it continues like this, the condition will probably get worse. After all, it's two bodies and one soul." Clone Harvey covered his private parts with his hands and answered with a wry smile.

They seemed to suddenly think of something at the same time, and almost at the same time turned to look at the two strange round eggs remaining on the sand pile.

They cursed in unison: "Damn it, are there two of me inside those two eggs?"
