Multiple explosions occurred as a person who looked like Jin was sent flying through multiple buildings. His face was bruised, blood dripping out of his nose, and his arm was severely broken in multiple places.

"Dammit!" Jin cursed, trying to get away from his pursuer. He had already gotten what he wanted, and now it was time for him to go.

"Don't even think about it." Jin arrived, hovering above the other Jin, the clone Jin, and pinned him to the ground with energy rings that wrapped around the clone's arms and legs.

"Does restraining me feel good? I thought you would at least want to talk, you know, being brothers and all."

Jin chucked. "You're not my brother. You're nothing but a lowly clone who isn't even perfect."

"Ouch, you talk to your mother with that mouth?"

Hearing the clone insult him while using his mother really pissed him off, especially while wearing his own face. So, Jin slammed his fist into the clone's belly, rupturing a few organs, then destroyed the mana stone, preventing it from using mana.

"Keep my mother's name out of your fucking mouth."

"Arghahahahaha! You know, it's funny looking at you right now, how weak you are. Man, the look on your face when you learn the truth will be priceless."

Jin paused upon hearing what the clone had said. If he had interpreted the clone's words correctly, then Eve was cooking up something dangerous that needed to be stopped as soon as possible.

The only downside was that he had no idea where Eve was, but that would be changing today.

"Weak, you say? That's fine. At the end of the day, I'm not a disposable science project like you. Besides, I'm the original, while you're the fake, and a fake is nothing against the real deal." Jin opened his palm, and the clone flew into his hand, Jin gripping its neck.

"Nnnghh! What are you doing?!"

"Getting answers." Jin dove into the clone's mind. For the most part, there was nothing going on in its head, but even if it had no 'memories', it still had information coursing through its mind.

Jin used every bit of his strength to look into these pieces of information, finding them blocked by a powerful mental protection spell, the same spell that was in Ally's mind. However, this spell was weaker, and it didn't seem to have the many layers of protection as the spell in Ally's mind.

'Because this is a clone, Eve didn't care to use as strong a spell to protect their minds. Heh, this is your fault for being sloppy.' It still took Jin some effort to break the spell, but once he did, his mind flooded with information.

He saw an assembly line of clones being made, as well as the location of the factory. Jin smiled, knowing that once he found the factory, it would bring him one step closer to finding Eve.

"Be thankful that you were useful to me. As a clone, that should feel like praise to you, right, being thanked by the original?" Jin tossed the clone to the side and pointed a finger at him.

"Heh! Hahaha! Y-You know, it's amazing how confident you are. To be modeled after you is such a disappointment." The clone grinned

"Yeah, I don't give a fuck."

"You will." The clone got up and lunged at Jin. Mana coursed through its body, and it went in for an attack.

Jin was so taken off guard by this that he folded space around the clone on instinct, tearing the guy to shreds.

"What the hell? That's not possible! Did that clone just use my mana signature?"

---

After returning home, Jin told everyone what he learned and packed up a few things before he headed to the warehouse where the clones were being made.

"Need some backup?" Brittany asked

"I'm fine. I got this." Jin declined.

"I'm coming." Jessa walked over to her son.

"Thanks for the offer, Mom, but it's fine. I can handle this alone. It might even be pretty weird seeing multiple versions of me, haha."

"That's exactly why I'm going. I want to see the bastard who dares to clone my son!"

Jin didn't feel like arguing with his mother, not that he would even win the argument, and relented, allowing her to accompany him.

"Alright, just keep up, okay?"

"Sweetie, I'm the fastest woman alive."

"Sure, sure." Jin took off with Jessa trailing behind him.

Over the past week or so, Jin did train with his mother to see if she was able to use her powers to their fullest without any drawbacks, and surprisingly, she could use her powers better than before.

Everything that she could do now was something she could already do in the past; it's just that she could do it easier now.

And most importantly, Jessa was fast, faster than Jin realized.

She wasn't on his level of speed, but she was right there. No one that he knew or had encountered in this world was faster than her, and he could tell that she wasn't even pushing herself.

Thanks to her powers, she could use her abilities relative to her enhanced body, meaning she didn't get as tired as fast as a normal person or a person who doesn't have super speed.

Now, thanks to her heart merging with a phoenix core, Jin healed her heart because having a phoenix core by itself was unstable; she was able to run for extremely long periods of time, and her heart never felt as if it was pounding very hard.

In a matter of minutes, they arrived at their destination with only a second or two in speed difference, Jin being faster, of course.

"Damn. You're fast. I wonder how fast you are at other tasks." Jin wanted to run some tests.

"Well, if it's important to know, I'm actually pretty slow in bed. Your father was the fast one. Hahaha!"

"Mom!" The embarrassment Jin felt was too overwhelming, so he just walked inside the building.
