Chapter 132: The Memory Parcels Experiment
Nero sat in the dojo, staring at the newly created Shikigami before him.
It stood still, awaiting direction, its paper body subtly pulsing with the residual magic that animated it.
His previous experiment had proven something extraordinary, he could make clones that weren't just following instructions.
They were thinking, learning, and most importantly, mirroring his own obsessive thirst for knowledge.
Now, he wanted to take it one step further.
"Understanding is good, but what if I could share knowledge?" he murmured, fingers tracing a series of runes in the air.
"What if instead of just observing and analyzing from a blank state, the clones could receive my direct experiences?"
This would be the next great leap in his research.
If he could embed specific memory parcels into the Shikigami, they wouldn't have to discover everything on their own, they would start with an existing foundation, his always evolving foundation.
He could give them advanced knowledge instantaneously, making them extensions of himself in the truest sense.
It was a terrifying and exhilarating prospect.
