"Because you are killing living beings, we, as replicants, were grown too quickly during manufacturing and did not have time to evolve normal emotions. We are not robots."
George noticed that something was amiss with the psychological state of the party, directly striking at the core, saying:
"You are a cruel and wicked murderer. If it had not been for you killing them, they would have gradually adapted to having emotions and leading their own lives just like me."
It is clearly inappropriate to kill a number one student of the Academy City at this moment, as he still plans to live openly and legitimately with other living clones in the city.
Therefore, when he feels the cracks in Yatou Meng's mind through mental abilities, he immediately stimulates him with words.
If the other party voluntarily gives up the subsequent experimental plan, then it would naturally be a great joy.
If things really can't be done, it's not too late to kill. One cannot leave a potential troublemaker for the future who may seek revenge.
"It turns out, they are not just puppets."
Yatou Meng lowered his head, and his expression gradually collapsed. The intense guilt made him wish to die immediately.
"Taking the spirit and the sight!"
Taking advantage of Yatou Meng's inability to activate defensive reflexes and his mental breakdown, George casually used the "Taking the Spirit and Taking the Thought" spell to probe into the other party's memories.
After learning about the other party's memories, he felt that this should be settled.
However, just as he was about to discuss the next plan with Kayoumi Asogi, a sudden green bolt of lightning suddenly shot towards George from a distance.
sensing the threat, George's body flickered and evaded the green lightning's sneak attack.
After passing George, the green lightning hit a container behind him and managed to pierce through four containers in a row before dissipating, showing its considerable power.
"I didn't expect that a clone would defeat the number one Yatou Meng. It seems that the ranking can't be taken seriously."
A green electric orb floated around Makino Shigenori, as he strutted confidently from a distance.
"You are the clone number 9981, right? Just behave and don't resist. Otherwise, if your body is damaged, it won't be good."
"Who are you?"
Megumi Shindou, supported by clone 9982, came to George's side and asked Makino Shigenori with a furrowed brow.
Makino Shigenori showed a hint of disdain on his face:
"We, the secret agent squad, are ordered by the head of the Medical Analysis Research Institute of Mizuhaza Corporation to capture Clone Number 9981."
By the way, I am ranked fourth among the five-level superhumans, Atomic Breakdown - Makino Shigenori!"
"Is it because of the abnormal behavior I've shown that I've caught their attention?"
George frowned slightly.
"It seems that just getting Yatou Meng to give up the experiment isn't enough; I need these guys to be wary of me as well."
"Yatou Meng has been defeated, the experiment of advanced ability users cannot be carried out anymore. Why do we still need to capture her?"
Megumi Shindou wanted to use her ability, but because she had just expended too much energy when she collided with Yatou Meng, the only spark of electricity she emitted was a small one.
Makino Shigenori giggled.
"That's none of my business. I don't know what plan you're talking about. My job as an item is just to capture her. You better step aside."
Although I really want to fight with you, your current state does not interest me.”
"No worries, you rest, I'll handle this."
George reached out to intercept Megumi Shindou, who was about to forcefully pull her body forward, and walked in front of Makino Shigenori.
"If you want to catch me, then let's see if this five-level superhuman has the skills."
"Hmph, a mere four-level clone who thinks that she can defeat Yatou Meng with a surprise attack and talk like this is too conceited."
Makino Shigenori adjusted her purple long dress, sitting gracefully on a stone bench next to the three people behind her, and said to the two of them:
"Kazuki and Fran, go handle her. Don't kill her, we'll have a hard time explaining it later."
Kazuki is a four-level ability user who can manipulate nitrogen in the air. In attack mode, she can lift a small car and deflect bullets. In defense mode, she can create a nitrogen armor to repel attacks from all directions.
Fran is a zero-level non-ability user but extremely agile and skilled at using various homemade bombs for demolition. Even most four-level ability users would find her quite troublesome.
With their cooperation, taking down a four-level clone should be as easy as pie.
Not every enemy deserves her attention as a five-level superhuman.
"Leave it to us!"
Fran pulled out a customized handgun and shot at George, while Kazuki donned sunglasses and propelled herself to George at high speed using nitrogen.
The bullet was flying towards George at a rapid speed, but it stopped less than a meter away from him.
With his current control over magnetism, even bullets or missiles would be impossible to get close to him.
"Thud!"
Just as the bullet stopped, it immediately emitted a blinding light.
"That's not an ordinary bullet. It's a special flashlight bullet that I made!"
Fran laughed proudly and took the opportunity to take out a doll bomb from her bag and fling it towards George's surroundings.
At this moment, Kazuki with sunglasses on had already rushed to George's side. She took advantage of George being temporarily blinded by the flash bomb and punched him in the jaw.
With the help of nitrogen, her punch could easily flip an entire car.
However, to her surprise, George, who was blindfolded at the time, quickly raised his hand and accurately caught her fist.
"The strength isn't small!"
George's face also showed a look of surprise.
With the enhanced physique from so many worlds, even he felt it was a bit of a struggle to take this little girl's punch with his bare hands.
The blinding effect on him was ineffective because his mental ability can replace his eyes to observe his surroundings.
"It's my turn!"
A surge of wild electricity burst forth from George's body, spreading along his fist towards Kazuki.
For the time being, he doesn't want to reveal his magic abilities unnecessarily.
Now everyone thinks he is an abnormal clone of Yatou. Multiple abilities to hide can be explained, but if he shows too many magic abilities, it would be difficult to explain.
Especially since the magic of Fairy Tail has magical arrays that are very conspicuous. It's hard to believe it's superhuman abilities, let alone magic.
The key is that he is unsure if magic exists in this world. If it doesn't, it's okay, but if it does, what attitude will the school city, which gathers superhumans, have towards magic?
If it's an opposing force, who knows what would happen if the entire Academy City pursued him. That would be disastrous.
It's not that he can't escape, abilities like Phantom Imitation or Mirror World can easily let him escape.
However, this way he would be far away from the protagonist Kayoumi Asogi and might miss some important events. Moreover, he also wants to continue developing his superpowers here, breaking through from Level 4 to Level 5.
"Amazing, it blocked it!"
Kazuki saw that high-pressure current was bursting from George's body. Knowing it wasn't suitable to continue close combat, she quickly formed nitrogen armor on her body surface using nitrogen and blocked the high-pressure current from spreading further. She retreated quickly.
