[Genshin Impact] The More Clones, the More Impressive

Pantalone failed to overturn the world.

Dragging his frail, ailing body, the Fatui Harbinger known as "The Regrator" calmly faced death.

But...

Pantalone hesitantly opened his eyes. The world after death seemed a little...

Wrong?

An eight-year-old segment rushed into his arms, huffily demanding funds to capture magical creatures capable of forming contracts with magical girls.

An eighteen-year-old Akademiya student held an acceptance notice from a technical college, excitedly sharing the good news that he'd been admitted through a special recruitment program.

A thirty-five-year-old segment at the peak of his powers was tinkering with who knew what. Every so often, several cups filled with black sludge would explode in the lab.

A reliable, mature man of forty-five would casually mention over afternoon tea that the research institute under his command was studying a deadly weapon called an Ara-Mitama.

A refined, elderly man of sixty-five wore a plague doctor's beaked mask in the golden mansion as he shared the progress of his elixir of immortality with Pantalone.

Everything seemed as if it had happened yesterday. Pantalone's business acumen soon found its use, and he adapted to a life of attending to the needs of different segments at set times every day.

The only problem was how badly his lower back hurt at night.

Pantalone, who had been down on his luck in Teyvat but was thriving in another world, made this observation while celebrating the birthday of Zandik's original self.

1. The characterization may be questionable. Please don't flame me.

2. Pantalone/Zandik is endgame. Jinjiang doesn't allow anything below the neck.

3. This isn't an attempt to redeem anyone. It's purely my kink and the author being desperate.

4. Includes smoking, experiments, psychological manipulation, training, unattended play, body modification, and one-on-one encounters with different segments within a single day. Please read with care.
