Revenge After Death



Mrs. Ford continued, "Gods are immortal because they can divide and regenerate endlessly. In other words are gods just like cancer cells, in the sense that they could be continuously replicated through their genome?"

I felt chills running up my spine as I watched her. Was the Godmaker Project actually an attempt for humans to create a god?

Humans destroyed humans, and God created humans. Humans destroyed God, and they created another god with their own hands. It sounded like a mad legend, yet it seemed to have come full circle with a symbolic meaning at this moment.

Who knew what kind of monstrosities we would end up creating if humans were to continue to delve into their crazed research into genetics and immortality?

She said, "The emergence of cancer cells is essentially a genetic mutation process in the human body. They double every 24 hours, yet they need to constantly compete for nutrients with the human body, treating it as a battlefield.

"That's why cancer cells would replicate endlessly and spread viciously when someone has cancer. The human body is too fragile to withstand such overwhelming destructive force.

"The reason why Miguel is suffering currently is precisely because the cancer cells within him keep multiplying and metastasizing uncontrollably, isn't it?"

I looked at Mrs. Ford, wanting to make her stop. But it was impossible as she was already on the brink of madness.

"I'm creating a god. I'm changing this world. My research will bring hope and a glimmer of light to patients and families affected by cancer," Mrs. Ford said in a crazed manner. Her arms were outstretched.

"You're not me. That's why you can't understand why I'm this mad trying to do this." She looked at me, as if mocking my ignorance from her own perspective.

She continued, "What would you do if Steven had cancer and the cancer cells couldn't be destroyed, yet they were slowly devouring him? You'd be even crazier than I am right now. That's because you're Stephanie Carlson-you'd only go to even greater lengths."

I was stunned. Suddenly, I could understand her intentions.

Her motivation was her love for Miguel. She wanted to combat cancer for his sake.

"At first, I only wanted to combat cancer cells and find a way to completely kill these immortal cells. But later on, I accepted the reality that they couldn't be killed. The cost of killing them is just too high. I couldn't possibly... sacrifice my loved ones in order to kill those damned cancer cells-"

Mrs. Ford's voice turned hoarse.

"That's why I gave up on researching how to kill the cancer cells. I turned to researching symbiosis instead." Her lips curled upward.

"Steven never told this to you, right? The medium for rebirth, which is the key, is based on the original gene chain. It involves a mutation that uses the uterus as a new source of nutrients and simulates the division of cancer cells using cloning techniques. All this is done just to achieve immortality of the soul." Steven found his inspiration from mathematical formulas. He discovered the genetic code while building on the foundation of immortal cell division. And then... the laboratory found the medium for reincarnation. That was how the reincarnation of souls was achieved.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

I stood in shock, unable to react for the longest time.

Mrs. Ford asked, "Do you know why Steven didn't kill Una but kept her around? That's because he's keeping a backup body for you. He's worried that something might happen to you."

She had a sardonic smile. "You see, Steven is even more unhinged than I am when he loses control. In a way, you're the first person to achieve immortality, Stephanie. That's because your genome was already spread worldwide through the Genome Society's laboratories.

"There are countless vectors with the same genome as yours in this world. You can be endlessly replicated and reincarnated under Steven's manipulation just like HeLa cells."

The reason Steven was keeping Una around was really to be a blood bank and backup for me. No wonder Una was so jealous of me.

Mrs. Ford was mocking Steven, calling him an unhinged madman. That was because he was more unhinged than anyone else and had done too many crazy things in trying to resurrect "Stephanie Carlson". "Now that you three are with me, I won't hurt you as long as Steven successfully reincarnates Miguel's soul." Her smile faded. "After all, I don't want to offend a madman who can create gods."

"If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the soul of every clone subject could be reincarnated?" I looked at Mrs. Ford questioningly.

She smiled and shook her head. "That's what I'm curious about too. How did he reincarnate you so precisely? But only Steven knows the answer to this secret because he's the only one that holds the key to reincarnation and the creation of gods-"
