Rex looked at the two men fighting at the corner of the room.
Both of them had a similar appearance to him except for some noticeable changes. One of them had long shiny black hair with his pupils having a golden ring at the edge while the other had long snow-white hair and eerie blue eyes. The black-haired man had a robust body and well-defined muscles just like a bodybuilder model, the other also had a good body but his body built seemed more like an athlete runner than a bodybuilder.
Rex had a headache when he saw them fighting like that.
He wasn't an expert at Gene Coding, when he changed one thing to match his choice the others related to it were bound to change. He could control the flow of transformation but not the result.
The severed soul piece given to the clones had two main purposes, the first was to give them personality, and the second was memory same as him. From their expressions and way of fighting, Rex could tell that they both had inherited a part of his personality just like Luna said.
The clones can only inherit a part of the host's personality and not the whole personality. He was fully aware of it.
The first purpose of the severed soul was fulfilled, as for the second, the result was present in front of them.
'If it's just memory then there is still hope,' Rex thought, when it came to dealing with stuff like memory, he was extremely capable in the field.
"Stop! You two," He shouted at them.
The two men abruptly stopped and stared at him, they stared for a few seconds before their eyes shined and their expression turned to that one of delight.
They looked like newborn chicks that have just come out of their eggs and saw their mother's face for the first time.
Rex felt their weird gazes and subconsciously took a step back.
The two men reacted, they got on their fours and dashed towards him.
Rex saw the two naked men rushing towards him with their mouths wide open and drool coming out of them. He had the urge to kick their heads but he couldn't, they were his precious Sacred Blood Seeds.
If their rushing at him wasn't enough, when they got closer they leaped at him without restraint and Rex saw the first sight in his life where he regretted to have a strong memory and good vision.
'My eyes, my damn eyes, they are tainted. Rose, I want new eyes,' Rex covered his eyes and used Telekinesis to hold them down.
[There is no such service,]
He just had pushed the naked duo to the ground and saw that they were already on the verge of crying. The black-haired one had already started sobbing, while the white-haired one was looking at him in disbelief.
Rex couldn't take more of it, he used Mind Control to calm them down. He then pressed his hand on the head of the black-haired man and used Mind Arts to copy and transfer a small portion of his memory.
After a few seconds, Rex stopped. He did the same with another man.
They were weaker them him, there was a limit to how much they could withstand so Rex divided his knowledge and transfer it in decreasing order of necessity.
Rex gave a set of clothing to both of them from his collection, he inwardly made an oath to go meet Lerna after this is over, he needed to completely wipe out a few images from his brain as fast as possible.
After a few turns, the temperament of the duo started to take shape. They both had a different personality so even if the information they obtained was the same, the result varied.
The two men were curiously observing their surroundings while rubbing their heads because of the headache. The headache was the minimal side effect of dealing with the stuff related to memory transfer.
With his current proficiency of Mind Arts and Mind Control, if Rex wants, then he can even program a fake memory inside his target's head but he loathes playing with memory, this was why he avoids it.
While using Mind Arts, he analyzed their body and discovered many changes, some were expected and some weren't.
The first was the degradation of Race. The extra trait influenced them more deeply than he expected resulting in a completely new variant but the life form level of the variant wasn't high as him. Nevertheless, it had its own advantage.
The clones didn't have a core or the ability to evolve like him, but Rex was already satisfied with the fact that he was able to preserve the most important bloodline abilities and talent in their lineage.
'It's confusing to differentiate them based on the hair or eye colour so..' Rex thought.
"You black-haired one, from today onwards you are Blackey," Rex said.
The black-haired man looked at him and shook his head, rejecting without any hesitation.
He opened his mouth and spoke.
"A... Man can be killed... But not humiliated," He said with a firm expression.
Rex's lips twitched.
He breathed in deeply and chose another name.
"Goldy?"
"Doesn't make sense...,"
"Long Hair?"
"I... Rather become... Bald,"
"Monday?"
"Everyone... Hates it,"
"Then Sunday?"
"Just... Kill me,"
'What the heck is wrong with his brain, he can't tell good from bad, Rose any name suggestion?' Rex asked.
[How about Altan? It means golden in Mongolian,]
"How about Altan? it means golden in Mongolian," Rex repeated without a moment of thought.
The man gave him a confused look, he seemed to be in a daze for a second before nodding in agreement.
"Good, you don't need to thank me for the name," Rex said modestly while patting his shoulder.
Altan nodded and spoke.
"Hmm... I will thank Rose," He said.
Rex frowned, he almost killed him in a strike to shut his mouth. Rose is his bigger secret that he would never share, even with the clone, he didn't mention Rose even once in the information he gave to the clone but now, he spoke about Rose.
[How?]
Rex had the same question but then he saw Altan tilting his head in confusion and saying "How?"
Rex rubbed his temples, as he activated Fast Clock and thought.
He was now sure that the clone was able to hear him but how? Although he could share thought with the clone because of the soul connection, if he wished to, but he didn't do it now, neither did he think that some mistake during the process of DNA alteration could result in such a thing.
Rex's eyelids flickered, his gaze landed on the platinum ring on his hand, the only possibility he could think of was the 'Fate Sharing Ring'.
He hadn't researched it or got control over it so there was a high chance that it was the ring's doing.
After some thinking, Rex unsummoned it and as expected, Altas didn't hear anything when Rose spoke.
Rex was now more curious about the ring's ability but right now he chose to focus on the clones.
He turned to the white-haired man who in anticipation of receiving the name, although he was slightly hesitant about it after he saw the names Rex suggested to Altan, but as they say, there was always hope.
But that hope disappeared when Rex suggested the first name.
"How about Snowy?"
After haggling for 20 minutes, Rose gave out another name that was easily accepted by him, it was... Andusk.
'You have inherited my naming sense,' Rex said in a praising tone.
[I'm afraid, I did not,]
Rex ignored Rose's 'unfilialness' and used Appraisal on the duo.

After several hours...
Rex was sitting in the dining room with the duo.
They were sharing a round table, sitting in a triangular formation, and having equal distance from each other.
Rex looked at Altas.
The man had a completely different temperament from a few hours ago, he was wearing a full-sleeved white shirt and black pants, he was sitting comfortably with his right leg folded on the left.
He held a book in his right hand and a teacup in his left, he slowly drank the tea while reading the book.
Altas felt Rex's gaze and turned to him, he lightly smiled and nodded before continuing to read the book.
Rex opened his mouth then closed it without speaking.
The man was too elegant, he performed every single of his actions gracefully, just sitting there and reading the book made him look cool.
'See Rose, he reminds me of my college days, I also had this kind of temperament,' Rex said with a nostalgic tone.
[Oh, sorry but I don't have any data from your third life,]
"..." (Rex)
Rex ignored the comment and looked at Andusk.
He had a 'cold as ice' temperament, his ice-cold eyes could make others break into a cold sweat with a glance. The jet black jacket and blue jeans he wore deeply suited his temperament.
At the moment, he was leaning back on the chair with his legs folded on the table, he held a sharp black dagger in his right hand, he was using it to cut his nails.
"Ahem, if you are now familiar with the stuff around you then should we talk about business?" Rex tapped the table and said.
Andusk raised his head and looked at him.
Altas closed the book in his hands and excitedly looked at Rex, he spoke before him.
"Chief before you start, I want a holiday, there are so many things I wanna see, how about a one year holiday? No, it's too little, how about 10 years...Maybe a century," He stood up and said.
"How about I free you from life?" Rex said in a cold tone.
Altas shut his mouth and sat back on his seat.
"What about clone rights," He muttered under his breath.
"Idiot," Andusk sneered from the side.
"What does this snowy monkey has to say?" Altas said in a mockery filled tone.
Andusk stopped sneering and coldly stared at him with his eerie blue eyes, the atmosphere turned cold.
"Quiet down you too, shut your damn mouths and listen. In about two days, we are going to reach the base, until then I will transfer some blueprints from different field of work to you, try to make the target objects, and tell me which field suits you better, whether it is related to mechanics and artifact refining or biology and mutation, make your decisions within these two days," Rex said.
They both looked at each other then nodded.
They were like newly built AI he had made, it was time to see where they fit better according to their temperament. They were supposed to be normal clones but with Rex's interference, things changed so he could only experiment and decipher the information on them step by step.
Rex nodded in satisfaction, if everything thing goes well then after going back he could sit back and finally enjoy his life at home.
