I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Su Ze examined the strange, grass-sprouting egg again. “Will it stay in this form forever?”

Mage answered, “Right now, it’s merely in its infant stage, equivalent to a newborn baby. As it matures, its form will change. However, we aren’t certain what it will look like eventually, since there is no precedent to reference.”

“Does it count as an intelligent lifeform or a Spiritual Plant?”

“The upper limit of a Spiritual Plant is far inferior to that of an intelligent lifeform. Therefore, we used the Witch Egg as the main body. It is equivalent to an intelligent lifeform of a Dominator Race. Alternatively, you can treat it as a mutated Witch Race member. But because it fused with the mutated seed of the Hundred-Change Flower, it can photosynthesize like a Spiritual Plant and even take the path of growth and evolution.”

Su Ze scratched his head. “Isn’t that just a Witch Race version of Feng Bqing?”

Liou Wenxin smiled. “That’s not wrong.”

Feng Bqing was a mutated Human Race member who could grow, evolve, and photosynthesize like a plant, though his fundamental essence remained human. His situation was exactly the same as this “grass egg,” differing only in their respective races. However, this egg clearly possessed more potential. After all, it had a father who surpassed the Ancestral God level.

The Pope added, “However, we used the consciousness of the mutated Hundred-Change Flower to dominate it. Subconsciously, it won’t consider itself part of the Witch Race, but rather a plant.

“Additionally, as the Witch Race grows, their forms undergo drastic changes. Their bodies transition from tangible to intangible, becoming a pure Soul Body. The evolutionary path of this… grass egg might also follow this route. After all, it cannot deviate entirely from its origins.”

Su Ze nodded. An invisible, formless Plant Element intelligent lifeform skilled in Soul Attacks? It sounded quite formidable.

Wenxin complained, “Are you really going to call it a ‘grass egg’? That sounds terrible, almost like you’re cursing.”

“Makes sense. Let me think,” Su Ze pondered. “The Hundred-Change Flower is actually a flower. It just sprouted and hasn’t bloomed yet. Calling it a grass egg is indeed too hasty. It should be called a flower egg.”

Wenxin shook her head. “Alright, whatever makes you happy.”

“Flower egg” still sounded better than “grass egg.” She was afraid that if she objected again, Su Ze would come up with something even weirder.

After careful consideration, Su Ze said, “No, that’s not right either. ‘Flower egg’ doesn’t fit since the egg form is only temporary. At its core, it belongs to the Witch Race. It should be called the Flower Witch!”

And just like that, the new name was finalized: Flower Witch.

Wenxin and the others officially handed the Flower Witch over to Su Ze. They wanted him to nurture its growth to help establish a trusting relationship between them. Su Ze was quite indifferent to this aspect. In his eyes, using the Blood and Flesh Parasite skill would resolve everything perfectly. What was the point of nurturing feelings? Besides, he had no interest in babysitting. Fortunately, the Flower Witch had inherited the powerful survival capabilities of the Witch Race. It could grow entirely on its own without requiring Su Ze to do a single thing.

It had absorbed more than half of the Super Star Energy, storing it all within its body to fuel its growth. Once it fully absorbed this stored energy, it would be able to shed its eggshell.

After taking the Flower Witch away, Su Ze tried communicating with it. Currently, it could not speak, but it was capable of simple interactions through Spiritual Power. Upon gaining a concrete understanding of its current state, Su Ze realized that the Flower Witch was a rather underwhelming Sun God. Because it was still in its infant stage, its offensive methods were relatively one-dimensional. It only knew basic Soul Attacks. Although they were at the Sun God level, there was absolutely no technique involved; it simply crushed opponents through the sheer weight of its Spiritual Power. It was the crudest form of attack, lacking any corresponding mental skills.

In terms of defense, the Flower Witch was indeed at a genuine Sun God level. Thanks to its powerful Racial Talent, its Defense Power and vitality surpassed most Sun Gods. The problem was that these defensive traits only applied to itself and offered no protection to Su Ze. This meant the Flower Witch currently possessed crude attack capabilities and powerful survival skills, but in actual combat, it was completely unmatched against a normal Sun God.

However, as part of the Intelligent Races, the Flower Witch could acquire skills by absorbing Evolutionary Material, just like humans. Additionally, having fused with the Hundred-Change Flower, it could awaken new skills naturally through growth and evolution.

As a race born as gods, the Witch Race was rather unique. They could still acquire new skills at the god-level stages, gaining up to three skills per stage. This meant they had a total of nine skill slots. While this was much fewer than races that normally evolved into gods, the new skills the Witch Race gained were all divine abilities. This difference in quantity was made up for by sheer quality. After all, other races had to undergo a process of subtraction upon reaching the god-level stage, reducing their number of skills through fusion.

Although the Flower Witch was a natural-born Sun God, it also had nine skill slots. Unlike an ordinary Witch Race member, however, only three of these slots could be filled through plundering. The remaining six skills had to be awakened naturally through its own growth and evolution.

“Looks like I’ll have to find some suitable skills for this little guy in the future.”

If he wanted the Flower Witch to unleash the true combat strength of a Witch Race Sun God, he needed to let it grow and equip it with the right skills. Su Ze shook his head. He now had another Gold-devouring Beast on his hands. He had painstakingly upgraded his weapon seed to the ninth tier, and now he had to deal with a Sun God-level Flower Witch.
