Chapter 1664: 557. Felix’s Book: The Wrath of the ‘Khan’_3
Hmm…
I think you already know what I’m talking about.
The small Jackalman like Hog were exactly the first generation Jackalmen designed and manufactured in the Eden District; they called it the ‘Blueprint’. Such creatures lacking power and dignity were obviously not suitable for security work, so the Eden District quickly started the second phase of transformation, which was very successful this time.
Based on the blueprint, the second generation of Jackalmen were taller, more ferocious, more obedient, extremely resilient, full of courage, and visually much more dignified, simply perfect creations!
I also know, they embedded the genes of hunting dogs into our genetic sequence, making us inherently loyal, needing a master to lead us.
This is not a bad thing.
However, with the second generation Jackalmen, the fools in the Eden District were still not satisfied. It was their first time being creators, so they arrogantly wanted to create perfect life.
A bunch of greedy people indeed.
The third phase of experiments was on schedule, and I… Felix, was the only life form in the third phase experiment to reach the final stage.
The King of Bone Biting again emitted the unique laugh of the Jackalmen, tinged with mockery, cackling as it said:
“Before I was born, I was given the name ‘Perfect’, and they even gave me a nickname ‘Khan’! Clearly, they created a king for the Jackalmen, hoping I would lead the Jackalmen who were already starting to fulfill security duties at the time.
But I hate the name they gave me!
I have my own wisdom, I know I have a personality, they made me too smart, I was planning a ‘surprise’ for them while still asleep in the biological pod.
But unfortunately, before I awoke, the Eden District was no more.”
“No more?”
Murphy widened his eyes, questioning:
“What do you mean no more? Why did the Eden District of the past turn into what is now the Dark Mountain Range? Why do memories of the Golden Age seem erased from history? Tell me, Felix, what happened then?”
“You ask me, whom should I ask?”
The King of Bone Biting shrugged, displaying a very human-like helplessness, explaining:
“I already said, I hadn’t awoken at that time, my understanding of the origins and mission of the Eden District and the Jackalmen was gathered from the Civilization Museum of the Jackalmen.
My incubation pod was hidden there, with high security levels, so it very luckily escaped that unknown disaster.
I was frozen in time, supposed to die just like that, yet fate favored me, knowing I still had a mission uncompleted!
Then, over a hundred years ago, a group of daring explorers ventured deep into the Dark Mountain Range and awoke me, I opened my eyes in this world not belonging to me, then cruelly killed those inferior creatures daring to trespass into the land of creation!
Not because I am inherently cruel.
But because I was fulfilling my mission, I needed to protect the land of creation and the Eden District.
At the end of that slaughter, I realized everything was gone, my past, my future, the meaning of my existence, all turned to ashes.
I almost went insane, Sir Murphy… no, Officer Morphy!
Truly.
I was nearly overwhelmed by inner emptiness, wandering in the Dark Mountain Range like a savage, until I accidentally saved some second-generation Jackalmen who were out hunting from a group of evil Goat Men.
The ignorant ones regarded me as a Divine Spirit and passionately brought me back to the Bonebite Clan which only had dozens of people at that time. That night, I got my surname and mate, also, during the insipid post-copulation sage time, I suddenly realized the fall of the Golden Age wasn’t actually a bad thing!
My wise ‘masters’ had long departed, the dog chains around our necks had already broken.
We were free!
Ha!
That was when I finally recalled I still had a mission uncompleted, yes! Those fools claiming to be creators gave me the mission to lead the Jackalmen, so I decided to fulfill it!
In just one week, I easily led the warriors of the King of Bone Biting to conquer the nearby territories inhabited by weak Jackalmen, and pieced together knowledge of the past three foolish failures of the Black Disaster from their elders.
I realized the Jackalmen in the Dark Mountain Range were facing a struggle for survival rights!
They needed a king to lead them.
They needed a ‘Khan’!
I had another epiphany, I returned to the Civilization Museum of the Jackalmen, found our Civilization Slate and completed the binding, inheriting the mission and duties I should have, becoming the Commander level Captain of the Jackalman Division in the Eden District Security Department.
I smoothly obtained the weapons and armor left to me by my creators and completed the evolution granted by the slate.
I chose power!
In this chaotic world, I must have strength to lead my people.
Sadly, my creators nurtured me as a warrior.
They didn’t embed much wisdom or strategy-related segments into my individual genes, and I was too immersed in power and conquest. When I realized I might fail, the entire continent had already united without me noticing.
Alright, I lost.
I underestimated this foolish era like a garbage heap.”
