Chapter: Explaining Lily power.

---

The Chapter opens far from Adam’s base, where an old-fashioned Japanese mansion exudes an aura of serenity, its intricate architecture standing as a testament to the past.

Surrounding the mansion is an unbroken line of security personnel who, at first glance, appear to be ordinary civilians.

However, their calculated movements and sharp gazes reveal their true nature—highly trained operatives camouflaged as everyday people.

They patrol the perimeter with disciplined precision, ensuring that no threat breaches the tranquility of the estate.

Among the guards, Atlas and Hang, two imposing figures, move through the grounds.

Atlas, with his broad shoulders and intense focus, meticulously inspects every corner of the northern perimeter.

His sharp eyes scan for anomalies, his every step deliberate.

At the opposite end, Hang moves with surprising agility for his stocky frame, his hands constantly brushing against his concealed weapon as he evaluates potential vulnerabilities in the defenses.

Their synchronization highlights the significance of their mission—to protect the mansion and its secrets at all costs.

Inside the estate’s heavily guarded grounds, the clones of the power holders who allied with the government—Sona, Ninja, and Tayo—are conducting their patrols.

These clones are exact replicas, their movements and mannerisms indistinguishable from their originals.

Ninja leaps across the towering boundary walls with the fluidity of a predator, each movement precise and calculated.

His sharp eyes dart across the landscape, ensuring no hidden threat escapes his gaze.

Meanwhile, Sona and Tayo soar gracefully above the estate, their wings cutting through the air with barely a sound.

From their elevated vantage point, they scan the area for anything unusual, their synchronized movements a testament to their efficiency.

Despite their silence, an unspoken tension lingers in the air.

These clones are not just guarding a mansion; they are defending a stronghold that serves as the epicenter of Lily’s plans.

The scene transitions to the interior of the mansion, where Lily sits in a spacious room.

The decor mirrors the traditional Japanese aesthetic of the mansion, with sliding bamboo screens and low wooden tables.

Lily occupies the center of the room, seated at a large table covered with documents. She appears calm, yet her sharp gaze betrays the intensity of her thoughts.

Across from her, Zora, a clone of a captured power holder, kneels in submission.

Zora, who has been captured by the government, is currently held captive in their secret base by Logan.

His head remains bowed, his posture rigid as if afraid to draw Lily’s ire.

The flickering light from a nearby screen reflects on his face, highlighting his nervous expression.

Lily’s focus shifts from the documents to Zora. "Have you noticed any movement from The Union members?" she asks, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade.

Zora, still kneeling, responds immediately. "My dear Lord Lily-sama, we have observed no movement from them. We expected that they would act as soon as the government’s announcement was made, perhaps by approaching the government directly. But nothing has happened."

Lily’s brow furrows as she processes his report.

Setting her documents aside, she turns her attention to a large television screen displaying footage from the government’s recent press conference.

The room falls into silence as she watches, her mind racing with possibilities. Behind her, Zora keeps his head lowered, too intimidated to speak further.

Lily’s confusion grows. The Union’s lack of response to the government’s announcement is uncharacteristic.

Normally, an announcement of such magnitude would provoke an immediate reaction, especially from a group as formidable as The Union.

Her gaze shifts toward the garden visible through the large window to her left.

The meticulously maintained landscape contrasts sharply with the unease gnawing at her. Suddenly, her attention is drawn to movement outside.

Ninja teleports into the garden, his sudden appearance breaking her train of thought.

His presence seems to demand attention, and Lily obliges, turning her full focus to him.

"Ninja," she calls out, her tone sharp and commanding. "Did you detect any activity from The Union members?"

Still kneeling on the garden floor, Ninja shakes his head solemnly. "My dear Lord Lily-sama, I deeply regret to inform you that I found no activity from them. Furthermore, I failed to locate their base."

Lily’s expression hardens. "And what about their leaders? Did you uncover anything about them?"

Ninja’s response is immediate. "My dear Lord Lily-sama, when you created us, our memories were wiped clean. We only retained the knowledge of how to use our skills. Despite all our searches, we have found neither their base nor their leader."

Lily’s sharp gaze lingers on Ninja for a moment longer. His failure to gather any significant information only adds to her frustration.

As Ninja returns to his patrol, Lily leans back in her chair, her thoughts turning inward. She contemplates the limitations of her cloning ability, her mind replaying the intricacies of its function.

When I created these clones, their memories were automatically wiped out.

This ensures their loyalty to me rather than to their original leaders, she thinks.

Yet, despite its usefulness, this feature is a double-edged sword.

Without their memories, the clones lack the context that might make them more effective in their missions.

Her thoughts deepen. I can clone anyone simply by observing them. The clones I create are just as powerful as the original at the moment of cloning.

However, this power has a critical flaw: if the original becomes stronger, the clone does not. No matter how much training a clone undergoes, it cannot surpass the strength it had when it was created.

Lily’s gaze drifts to the ceiling as these limitations weigh heavily on her mind.

For all the power her ability provides, its restrictions leave her vulnerable in ways she cannot ignore.

She resolves to find a way to overcome these challenges, even as the uncertainty surrounding The Union continues to loom large.

The Chapter concludes with Lily deep in thought, the tension in the air thick as she grapples with the mysteries that surround her and the limits of her power.
