(From Translator- I am changing the name of Kyle Building to Emperor Building and will sometime use Empire State Building)
At the Emperor Building, in the top-floor office.
Under Raina's expertly gentle massage, Kyle seemed to have drifted off into a peaceful slumber, quietly reclining on the leather sofa. His typically sharp and aloof facial features softened considerably.
However, suddenly, Kyle's previously steady breathing seemed to quicken slightly, as if stimulated by something.
With a surprised gaze, Raina watched as Kyle abruptly opened his eyes and swiftly sat up from the sofa.
"Boss, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Raina took a few steps forward and asked with a nervous expression on her face.
Unaware that Kyle's consciousness entered the Card Space, his outward appearance remained similar to someone peacefully sleeping.
Seeing the concern on Raina's face, Kyle chuckled softly, shaking his head gently. "Quite the opposite, rather than a nightmare, I'd say it's a tremendous surprise."
"Hmm?" Raina widened her beautiful eyes in confusion, her glossy black pupils were round and innocent, reminiscent of her youthful and playful demeanor back in ancient Tokyo.
"How should I put this..."
As Kyle rubbed his chin, just as he began to look troubled, Raina smiled faintly and took his arm, looking directly into his eyes as she spoke softly, "Boss, if it's something private, or something you don't want others to know, you can choose not to tell anyone — including me."
"Because I am just your weapon, even if it's for another hundred or thousand years." As Raina said this, her face and eyes overflowed with uncontrollable joy, almost bordering on a distorted sense of happiness and satisfaction.
"Raina..." Kyle murmured, laying his hand gently on Raina's black hair, softly caressing it.
Finding and adopting the young Raina was probably one of the luckiest things he had ever done in his life.
Without further ado, Kyle made his decision in his mind and met Raina's gaze, calmly saying, "Alright, I'll tell you about the secrets I hold!"
If Lucy helped Kyle rediscover his human side, rekindling human emotions after experiencing war and bloodshed, then Raina allowed Kyle to let go of years of vigilance and caution, revealing buried secrets deep within his heart.
Yes, it was about rebirth, the Extracting Card System, and other monumental secrets such as sacrificing cards —
These secrets, apart from Kyle himself, were unknown even to individuals like Steve, Lucy, Logan, and even his close aides like Venom and Vis.
In the following time, Kyle recounted many things to Raina, from his rebirth in 1944 to the present day in 2009, from extracting Super Soldier Serum Card to acquiring new cards like the Kryptonite Baby.
The content was intricate, the story was lengthy.
Yet Kyle spoke with ease as if he was unburdening himself of a heavy package he had carried for many years, finally able to integrate into the Marvel universe.
With her head resting on Kyle's shoulder, Raina's long black hair cascaded like a waterfall as she listened attentively and accepted everything without a hint of doubt, even the most incredible aspects.
Because ever since her rebirth in the underground research facility in Tokyo half a century ago, Raina had held a hundred percent trust in Kyle.
As Kyle reached the end of his narrative, he not only expressed his strong desire to leave Earth again but also bluntly revealed his ruthless intentions within the Card Space.
Clutching Kyle's clothes tightly, Raina asked anxiously, "Splitting the soul in two, occupying a lifeform's body to create a second self, would this ability pose any substantial harm to your original self?"
In Raina's mind, Kyle was the only one who mattered, and the act of splitting souls to occupy lifeforms, indirectly erasing others' souls, was an inhumane and demonic act not worth considering.
"Splitting once would consume half of the original's lifespan. Unfortunately, for someone like me with Godly genes and the Life Increase Card, it's practically inconsequential," Kyle said with a casual smile.
It's just a matter of sacrificing some lifespan, after all. He had more than enough lifespan to spare!
"If the second self is successfully created, leaving it on Earth would allow the original self to leave without worries. Even if unforeseen events occur, the second self can inform the original in a timely manner."
Kyle pondered for a moment, his eyes shining brighter as he felt that his idea could be executed.
He contemplated, "After all, the soul is fundamentally connected to the essence of all lifeforms, and I am concerned about potential accidents when creating a second self. But with someone like you, who possesses psychic abilities, assisting me, the success rate should increase significantly."
Raina nodded, firm in her resolve. "I will do it even if it costs me my life."
"Don't speak so grimly, I won't do anything without having sufficient confidence in myself," Kyle chuckled, then directly withdrew a golden card between his fingers in front of Raina.
"Is that the Lifeform Card?" Raina stared at the card, her eyes emitting a silver glow as she probed it with her thoughts.
"Yes," Kyle replied without hesitation, immediately summoning a lifeform with the card he held in his hand.
With a burst of golden light, the card disappeared without a trace, replaced by a cloth-wrapped baby boy, gradually materializing from the void.
Raina used her psychic control to suspend the baby in mid-air inside the room, carefully examining him from head to toe.
To her surprise, she found that the infant, about three months old, was peacefully asleep. He had faint golden hair on his head, his face delicate and petite like a doll, resembling the offspring of Europeans and Americans, showing no signs of his extraterrestrial lineage.
While Raina observed the Kryptonite Baby, Kyle's gaze also fell upon the infant. What saddened him immensely was that despite the emergence of the rare golden Ability Card for "Kryptonite Gene," it remained in a gray, locked state, unable to be read or replicated.
Since he couldn't draw cards, the only option left was to pursue the path of splitting the soul.
"If it were me before my rebirth, perhaps I would have kindly played the role of a Superman dad. But now, I no longer have any moral or emotional constraints. Strengthening myself is the only thing I care about," Kyle muttered softly as he watched the adorable face of the Kryptonite Baby.
His eyes gradually turned cold and indifferent, resembling solid ice.
"Raina, I'm going to start," Kyle said in a low voice.
"Okay," Raina nodded, maintaining her psychic control to keep the Kryptonite Baby suspended in the air.
"Alright then — Soul Split, Activate!" Taking a deep breath, Kyle focused all his strength on unleashing his newly acquired purple ability.
In the next instant, it was as if Pandora's Box had been opened. The top-floor office suddenly became dark, shrouded in a strange and eerie atmosphere, as a thick black mist enveloped and filled the vast space inside.
Kyle trembled violently, before collapsing unconscious onto the sofa, all vital signs such as breathing and heartbeat disappearing simultaneously.
Raina gasped in shock as she witnessed a white phantom, bearing a striking resemblance to Kyle, detach from his limp body and hover in the black mist, revealing clear outlines of its form.
It was Kyle's soul!
