"Host does not need to constantly control the clone. The clone can act independently based on the commands given by the Host and possesses a portion of intelligence.
Currently, the clone has eighty percent of the Host's strength. However, the Permanent Clone Technique has already been used, and when the Host becomes stronger, the clone will not automatically change.
After the clone absorbs energy and grows stronger, it will feedback fifty percent of that energy to the Host." The voice of the War God System echoed in Rek's mind.
"Armor Transformation." Rek controlled both his main body and the clone to undergo armor transformation. Fortunately, he had brought a spare protective suit. Rek put it on first and then controlled the clone to wear the protective suit as well.
Afterward, Rek controlled himself and the clone to exit the tent, retracting the isolation tent and storing it back into the storage compartment of the Hover Motorcycle.
Rek sat in the passenger seat of the Hover Motorcycle, allowing the clone to take the driver's seat.
Rek began controlling the clone to drive the Hover Motorcycle to increase his proficiency with it.
The Strategist III Hover Motorcycle sped through the white desert.
Rek did not rush to hunt down the Alien Horde.
For three days, Rek familiarized himself with controlling this clone created by the Permanent Clone Technique.
After all, this clone was his weapon, which he would be using for a long time in the future.
Moreover, Rek discovered something somewhat tragic. Once released, he could not retrieve the clone. The War God System only allowed for skills to be deployed but did not provide a means to retract them.
"Host, this is called Permanent Clone Technique. Do you know what 'permanent' means? It means that as long as your clone does not die, it will exist indefinitely." This was the System's explanation to Rek.
According to the War God System's description of Permanent Clone Technique, if the clone dies, both his body and soul would suffer damage in proportion, followed by a month of weakness.
Based on Rek's understanding of the deceptive War God System over the past month or so, he estimated that if his clone died and he suffered damage as described by the System, he would likely be rendered nearly useless for that month.
Rek had already decided that unless absolutely necessary, he could not allow his clone to die. If it remained alive, it could level up and potentially unlock other special skills; new skills might include fusion abilities or similar. However, if it died and he had to use Permanent Clone Technique again, he would likely have to level up the clone from scratch once more.
The clone that shares a connection with Rek also possesses its own intelligence, making it quite convenient for Rek to use. This somewhat alleviated Rek's complaints about the War God System.
"Previously, hunting ten Alien Species alone might have been a bit dangerous. Now, with the clone, the two of us working together to find Low-Level Aberrations should not be a problem," Rek thought to himself.
On the fourth day after leaving the Super Soldier Academy, Rek began searching for low-level Alien Horde based on the Electronic Map provided by Maya.
Most Alien Species are also mobile. The Electronic Map given to him by Maya only indicated the locations of Alien Horde detected by the academy's sensors three days ago near the Super Soldier Academy Fortress, so now he could only find a rough area.
Fortunately, Rek had previously retrieved two small reconnaissance drones from the weapon warehouse of the Super Soldier Academy Fortress.
Rek deployed the drones for low-altitude reconnaissance.
After spending half a day, Rek found three Two-Headed Lizard Variants hidden under the sand. This type of Alien Species had not appeared on the Electronic Map provided by Maya and had not been detected by the Super Soldier Academy.
Rek recalled information about the Two-Headed Lizard Variant from his previous life.
The Two-Headed Lizard Variant can range from three to ten meters in length, has six limbs, and features two massive heads positioned one in front and one behind, rather than side by side. Its head has a serrated large mouth with incredible biting power.
The Two-Headed Lizard lacks a tail and has hard scales. Inside its mouth is a sharp, spiny red tongue that possesses a pair of compound eyes.
This type of Two-Headed Lizard typically buries its body in the white sand of Dark Space, slowing its bodily functions and exposing only a small red tongue with an eyeball, resembling a red fruit, making it difficult to detect with normal scanning methods.
When a creature approaches, both heads spring out from the sand simultaneously to bite their prey.
Once bitten, even alloy machinery can be crushed.
In his previous life, this type of Two-Headed Lizard was referred to by Star Alliance Soldiers as Lizard Mine in the Dark Space Sand.

During these three days outside the Dark Space Fortress, Maya would spend several hours each day in the monitoring room of the Super Soldier Academy. She would observe the red dot on the large display monitor in the control room to track the location of Rek's Hover Motorcycle.
On the first day, Maya stayed in the monitoring room all day, watching the screens and feeling a bit worried about the boastful and arrogant Rek, who had directly charged into the Alien Horde to meet his fate.
After all, the new recruits were undergoing military training, and there were only two in the Special Class: Alice and Rek. Currently, Alice was on leave until the training ended due to a bet, while Rek was outside the Dark Space Fortress. For these few days, Maya didn’t have to take students for military training like other classes did with their homeroom teachers, so she had a lot of free time.
After watching for three and a half days, Maya noticed that the blue dot representing Rek's Hover Motorcycle on the monitor was consistently avoiding the red dots of the Alien Horde.
In other words, Rek hadn’t approached any Alien Species at all during these three days; he was just steering clear of them.
"It seems Rek is planning to just coast through the five-day mission period. After five days, when the principal announces that the hunting mission has failed, he’ll have a good excuse to head back to Sanctuary Base. Not a bad plan; at least it saves face, and he’s not in any danger," Maya thought to herself. Although she felt a bit disappointed, she also understood Rek's choice.
These past few days had been so boring for Maya during the day that she looked forward to nightfall. Every evening, when she returned to her Teacher's Dormitory, she would take the small radio that Rek had given her and broadcast the Savior's Declaration. This broadcasting time was when Maya felt happiest and most joyful.

On the fourth day at noon, Rek had already driven his Hover Motorcycle to a sandy area about three hundred meters away from the Two-Headed Lizard Variant.
Looking into the distance at three small red balls swaying like tiny fruits in the sand, Rek had already used a low-altitude drone to observe them carefully several times, confirming that only three small red balls were exposed above the sand.
However, Two-Headed Lizards were social creatures. Although their populations were generally small, some feeding Two-Headed Lizards wouldn’t expose their tongues.
Seeing three red tongues of Two-Headed Lizards in the sand nearby suggested that there could be five or six or even seven or eight Two-Headed Lizard Variants present. This was why these Two-Headed Lizards were referred to as lizard landmines.
