The Serpent Throne became a physical manifestation of light, and then it entered the slot that used to contain the spirit stone . When the blinding light dimmed, the statue's forehead was revealed to now contain a brand-new spirit stone . This one possessed the image of a snake .
"I thought this was a doll type beast soul . Hmm, so why did it just become a spirit stone?" Han Sen was confused .
As he mulled the oddity, he noticed another image inside the spirit stone . It was hazy, like little more than a reflection, but its faint outline suggested the shape of a human .
"Blood River King?" Han Sen was quickly given a shock, as the human image cleared to reveal it was actually Blood River King .
It was different, however, and it seemed to be a replica of the spirit that used to preside over the shelter . But it was a replica built from copper, and it had a texture that mirrored the Serpent Throne itself .
"Master, I am Serpent Throne . " The copper Blood River King appeared before Han Sen and knelt, as if in service .
"What are you?" Han Sen wasn't sure what to respond with, as this was all new to him .

"Master, I am a copy of Blood River King's genes . I am his replica, a doll in his image and being . I possess his powers, to their full extent . I am him in every way, save mind," the Serpent Throne elucidated the curious happening .
Han Sen asked, "So you'll look like this forever?"
"You can put me inside any statue . Do so, and I will reflect the image of the last spirit to occupy that shelter," Serpent Throne said .
Han Sen was delighted . It was a powerful berserk super creature . This meant, even though it could make use of Blood River King's powers, the output would be greater than the original spirit's .
And what's more, it was a beast soul . There was no danger or fear of betrayal; it would do Han Sen's bidding without question .
Han Sen needed to take down Saint Fan's Shelter, and now he couldn't help but imagine the prospect of having a Saint Fan copycat bow before him .
"Can you resurrect like a spirit?" Han Sen asked .
"I am just a clone . Even after death, I can produce another copy of your chosen spirit, but it can take a while . That is the only restriction," Serpent Throne said .

"Very good . " Han Sen escorted the doll to the battleground so he could test its strength .
It really did have Blood River King's powers, just at a greater level . For all intents and purposes, it was now a faster and stronger Blood River King .
Han Sen was now dying to locate an emperor shelter he could take over, so he could have a copy of an emperor . The copy had no fixed power limit, and the power of the shelter was what dictated the power of the copy .
Han Sen currently had Thunder Hell Shelter for an emperor shelter, but first, he wanted to try it out in his underground shelter . Han Sen was super duper curious who the last master of the underground shelter was .
Although it was not able to copy the mind of the previous lord, he'd at the very least like to get a good look at their appearance .
Han Sen went to the underground shelter's spirit hall and summoned Serpent Throne . It entered the spirit stone's slot, like before . However, generating the doll took much longer this time .
After a while, a copper light was cast into the hall right before Han Sen . The image was materializing .

Han Sen examined the doll with great curiosity, as its image was completely different than Blood River King's . This new presence was quite astonishing .
It was a female spirit; one with horns and draconic wings . She had armor scaled like the hide of a dragon, and she looked like a Valkyrie .
"Who is this spirit?" Han Sen asked, with his jaw agape .
"Apologies, but I only copied the genes that form their person . Identities and former knowledge are impossible to replicate," Serpent Throne said .
"Then, how many gene locks do you have opened?" Han Sen asked .
"Ten," the Serpent Throne answered .
"This really is an emperor-class shelter . " Han Sen wasn't very surprised . With the abilities the shelter possessed, it was difficult to believe it could have once been owned by anything less than an emperor . It was unique and special and far beyond any other shelter they had seen before .
After this, he took the Valkyrie doll to the battlegrounds, keen for a showcase of her powers . He expected great things from an empress that once ruled his OG shelter in the Third God's Sanctuary .
After entering and readying themselves, Han Sen expected to be greeted by a multitude of explosions and flashy lights . What actually transpired subverted his expectations, and all he could hear was a low rumble, accompanied by the formation of what could best be guessed to be a black hole .
But soon after, the head of a black dragon appeared out of the dark, swirling vortex . It came out of the fierce pit, roaring with its intimidating teeth on full display . Drops of saliva accompanied the visible exhaust of breath, which was, admittedly, not the sweetest smelling . . .
And then, the body and wings of this magnificent beast emerged . Valkyrie then leapt atop the glorious beast and rode it as if she was a Dragon Knight from an old storybook .
Strangely, it didn't look as if she herself could fight, though . Instead, she just rode the beast, commanding it to attack in her stead . She had to be some sort of summoner or beastmaster; Han Sen imagined her to rely solely on the support of a creature in her command .
The black dragon's power was not too different than that of the fish, all in all, in terms of might and strength .
While this wasn't what he expected, Han Sen was still happy with the results . All-in-all, this just meant Han Sen had acquired the service and powers of another emperor that had ten of its gene locks open .
"Master, can you allow me to display to you the full extent of my might and strength? I believe it will be to your liking," the doll asked with a bubbly attitude, as if eager to impress her master .
"Wait, you mean you can do something aside from summoning and riding a dragon?"
