Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace

Jimmy turned to Andy with a desperate look. "Don’t be hasty, Andy-we’re relatives. I didn’t know she was here to kill too!"

Andy looked at Sophia coldly and instructed his men, "Kill her."

"Killing me would cost you much more than just Sarah," she said coldly, looking down at Sarah’s body.

She continued, "If I can kill her, I can also bring her back but I suppose there’s no need for that, right? she wasn’t that important to you anyway. As a clone subject, I could provide you with so much more than she could."

Andy narrowed his eyes before smiling. He walked over to grab Sophia by her chin and carefully studied her." You’re just like a mutated version of Sarah-a product of her genetic cells dividing. Yet you’re stronger than her, with an independent soul and thoughts."

She was the perfect cloning artwork-or to be exact, the perfect experimental product.

"You’re actually aware that I was the one who proposed the Theory of Reincarnation from the start." Sophia pushed Andy’s hand away and started strolling around.

As expected, Andy did not instruct his men to kill her.

She continued, "The reason why you killed my foster parents was because they found out about my secret. I’ve been researching the exchange of souls and reincarnation. I was trying to figure out if the human consciousness could be swapped out freely just like computer chips."

If the main unit was broken, one could just copy the data onto a hard drive and transfer it to a new computer.

Andy remained silent as he looked at Sophia. He did not refute her words.

Sophia continued, "From the start, you’ve been the one manipulating Genome Society and the Rebels behind the scenes.

"You’re also the one who nurtured Carol into the leader of the Rebels and guided her every step up until now. You’re wanted to eliminate her because the Rebels have lost their value."

She turned to look at Carol. "Every single one of us is nothing but a pawn of yours. The ultimate goal behind your intricate plan isn’t Dexter-it’s me."

The reason Andy panicked when Dexter died was because Sophia had lost her memories and forgotten everything about the Reincarnation Project.

Dexter had told him that he had deleted everything related to the Reincarnation Project from her mind, and he was now the only one with the key to reincarnation. That was why Andy only targeted him.

Dexter used his own life to protect Sophia.

Sophia said, "You were the one who continued to guide the Rebels, trying to provoke me to make me recover my memories and recall my past. That was why you guided Carol and the others to set up a series of killing games."

"First, you used Carol’s hands to kill "Sophia" in the serial murder case, to see if Dexter could really reincarnate her. You then got an answer that satisfied you, but she still couldn’t recall her grand plans even after reincarnation. "That’s why you used the Rebels to set up the survival games in the ruins, the Death Cruise, and everything else." Sophia chuckled. "I really should thank you. I snapped awake the moment Dexter died. I never have been this aware. I’m aware of who I am, and I know what kind of position I should be in."

Andy smiled as he asked, "Who are you?"

"I’m someone who can be God." Sophia opened her arms and laughed maniacally.

Jimmy stared at her in shock. "You... Aren’t you—"

Weren’t they here to look for Dexter’s clone subject and sink this place once they were done? Wasn’t he supposed to become the next leader? Why did it seem like she was playing the role of a double agent now?

Jimmy was perplexed, wondering which was the true Sophia.

Carol was also looking at her with a frown.

"You’re right," Andy said, clapping for her. "If we work together, we could become the new gods for the future of humankind."

Humans created their own gods, and those gods would then grant life to advanced humans.

The elites or the wealthy-anyone with money, intelligence, or social status who could secure benefits for their new world-wouldn’t have to die. They would be able to live on eternally.

Their youthful clone subjects would be lined up like clothes in this vast ocean of sin, ready for them to choose from. The elderly among the wealthy could then change into a youthful body of their own, as if selecting "clothes" fit to their own tastes.

"But before that, shouldn’t I be testing your abilities first?" Andy looked at Sophia. He wasn’t sure if she had truly regained her memories.

"You want me to revive Sarah? Do you still have new clone subjects for her?" she asked indifferently.

Andy chuckled and said, "No. I’m willing to trust you, so I’ll offer myself for the experiment."

Jimmy looked at him in shock. Even Carol thought he was insane.

Andy wanted Sophia to reincarnate him into the body of a new clone subject.

"Do you really trust me that much?" Sophia asked, smiling as she raised her brow.

Andy replied, "I should trust those I’m collaborating with. I wouldn’t have invited you otherwise."

He walked over to the lab capsule. "The hatch to the lab capsule on the bottom level can only be opened by me.

Only I have the password. If someone were to force their way in or key in the wrong password, this entire cargo ship would be blown to pieces.

"Inside the lab capsule, there are invaluable assets of Genome Society-including Dexter’s clone subject. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Andy smiled, having thought of everything in advance.

Everyone would die if Sophia failed to reincarnate him, and there would be no chance of Dexter reincarnating.

Dexter, who was standing beside her, sighed. He whispered, "Just kill him, Sophia. Blow this ship apart and leave with the others."

"Does that mean that your life is in my hands now?" Sophia looked at Andy.

Andy chuckled as he backed away, accepting the gun from his subordinate. "No. My life will forever be in my own hands."

He was truly a ruthless lunatic.

He pressed the gun against his own temple and fired it with a smile, collapsing onto the ground instantly. Sophia took a deep breath before turning to Jimmy and Carol. They were both stunned and shocked at the sight. Carol considered herself a lunatic, yet she valued her own life. She wasn’t as crazy as Andy.

"Come with us." The leader of Andy’s mercenaries pressed a gun against Sophia’s temple and urged her to follow his instructions.

They then carried Andy’s body into the lab capsule. A clone subject was soon brought over.

He was still damp all over, suggesting that Andy must have made thorough preparations before Sophia and the others came over. He must have conducted a series of screenings to ensure his new body was the best possible choice.

"Don’t tell me you’ll really reincarnate him, Sophia? If he were to reincarnate into this clone subject, in the future, it might be hard to..." Jimmy nervously glanced at her.

Sophia ignored him and stood beside the operating table quietly. She looked at the clone subject, who had lay down stiffly.

Like marionettes, clone subjects had no souls. This clone subject wasn’t afraid of death, even looking as if he was anticipating it. He was craving death out of instinct.

Everyone held their breath as they heard the beeping sounds from the medical equipment.

The mercenaries outside were geared up and ready. They were to keep no one alive if their master did not wake up.

Sophia was aware that there was no room for failure in this experiment.

She needed Dexter’s clone subject, so she couldn’t let Andy die now. However, that didn’t mean that he wouldn’t die after that.
