Infinite Clone System Made Me Too OP!

Chapter 96: Nah, I Think I'd Win

...…..

Click!

Spending up half of the Clone Essence, Lucifer painfully watched as his total stash was split in half…

But from that excruciating experience, more than 100 Clones in the Late Nascent Soul Realm came into being!

FWIP! FWIP!

With their immensely powerful auras out in the open, they nearly overwhelmed the entirety of the walking birdhouse!

"Ahh, so their strength is somewhere around the Peak Nascent Soul Realm, huh? Considering that there are discrepancies between what the system deems a realm and what is actually that realm in the Fire Nation, such an approximation will always stay roughly accurate. After all, depending on the skill and techniques of my opponents, these 'Battle Power' statistics could prove to be quite useless."

This train of thought led to Lucifer wondering what would happen if he ever encountered someone who could be termed a 'genius'.

How would their strength stack up against his?

Would the system be correct in how it gauged Battle Power?

So many questions and so few answers…

While contemplating a number of abstract concepts, a short goth girl decided to make her appearance in the wide, expansive area that Big Bro was in.

Pitter. Patter.

Running over to her big brother, Li Yan started to wonder where all the loot bags went. Therefore, upon making it to Big Brother's side, she asked, "Loot Bags… Gone…?"

"Hmm?" Turning his head down to 'short stuff', Lucifer said, "Nah, they have been looted and assimilated; I just did it from far away. You see over there?" Picking up the goth midget, he pointed toward a few slightly bloody mountains in the distance. "Their heads went pow! And then the loot rained down from above!"

"Umu…"

Li Yan didn't quite understand what her brother was talking about, but as long as he got the loot, she was happy.

Though, she had still yet to understand exactly what the 'Loot' really was…

'Loot is… Big brother's imaginary friend…?'

When Li Yan was 5 years old, she recalled having an imaginary friend. And figuring that big brother was going through the same phase, she nodded her head and went back to hugging his thigh.

"Umu…?" Feeling that he was low-key being dissed, Lucifer narrowed his eyes at his little sister.

'Why do I feel like she has a really unusual opinion of me…?'

While thinking about the intricacies of the goth midget's brain processing methods, he also made sure to shoot out a few slimy black tendrils and absorb the cultivation of the last of the headless loot bags. After which, he watched as his Battle Power rocketed up to the absolute peak of the Late Nascent Soul Realm!

On top of that, his cultivation also made a direct breakthrough into the Middle Core Formation Realm!

With his Core growing a few feet in size and the color becoming far clearer than before, Lucifer could officially be considered a Middle Core Formation Realm Cultivator!

OOOM!

Feeling the increase in aura evenly dispersed across his entire body, he figured it was just about time that he dealt with those 'other guests' of his.

"..."

Focusing his soul-piercing gaze on a specific area in space outside his progressively moving home, there was no doubt about it.

'These ones are strong… Far stronger than those whom I just mind-fucked…'

'Peak Nascent Soul Realm… and nearing the peak of that realm to boot… Just about as strong as the 13 Strongest Cultivators in the Elemental Nations…'

'It does appear that someone has finally decided to go all out.'

Prepping all 150+ of his Late Nascent Soul Realm Clones, Lucifer figured he would use them as meat shields and veer the enemies away from him for a second.

With a solid plan forming inside his mind, he patted his little sister on her head before taking her off his shoulders.

"???"

Confusion was apparent in the glossy blue eyes of the adorable midget, but Lucifer had no time to be teasing the girl. Therefore, it was with a stringent tone that he said, "You must abandon this place and go deeper into the Water Nation. You will then cross a border to the east and make your way into the Nature Nation.

They are relatively friendly with foreigners, so you should do alright. When I reap these Loot Bags outside, I will meet up with you in the Nature Nation. But until that point in time, you must lay low and hone your mastery of Formations. Use said mastery to protect yourself until I find you, alrighty?"

"..."

Quickly realizing that her big brother was serious, Li Yan tightened her grip on his thigh even more than before. "Not leaving," she said.

"Listen, Little Squirt. If you stay here, you will likely die, and I currently have no way of resurrecting you, so-"

"Not leaving," Li Yan repeated, her grip on his thigh becoming even tighter. "Am useful… Will show you usefulness…" With an usually determined glint in her two big, round eyes, she stared into the two blood-red pools that swirled around in Big Brother's face.

"..."

Looking at the stubborn expression the goth midget was making, Lucifer immediately realized that he would not be getting through to her anytime soon. Hence, the best decision he could make to ensure her safety was…

Bonk!

Taking out his bonking stick at a speed far surpassing the speed of sound, he whacked Li Yan on the top of her head!

Falling over in a state of unconsciousness, her body was about to hit the ground with a thud...

But before that could happen, two large hands grabbed hold of her small frame. Then, with a slight conjuration of Nature, Illusion, and Beast Magic, he summoned forth an illusory bear.

Putting his sister on the 10-meter large bear, he then told the bear to transport her to the Nature Nation.

"Stay active until I arrive, and when she wakes up, I don't know… Give her some snacks and candy or something…"

After shrugging his shoulders in confusion on the matter of how to calm a little girl, Lucifer spun his right pointer finger in a circle. Using the Fire and Plasma Elements, he sliced out a perfectly round hole in the northern side of his home.

"Well? Get your fluffy ass a move on!" Lightly kicking the dumbfounded bear in the rump, Lucifer sent it flying through the hole in the wall.

Thereafter, he watched as the giant bear hovered in the air before galloping through the sky like one of Santa's lost reindeer.

"Now that all of that is out of the way, I think we can begin a little game of 'Can you kill me before I become strong enough to kill you?'" Clapping his hands in excitement, Lucifer leapt up off the ground, smashing a hole right through the roof of his home!

BOOM!

After popping out the top of the birdhouse cave abode, his eyes brightened up and turned a dark red in color. Then, with an insane level of heat emanating from them, he lasered what was once known as the Walking Birdhouse Phenomenon!

It was only after the entire thing was razed to the ground that Lucifer said, "Can't have anybody obtaining any clues on where the little squirt has gone off to. Therefore, destroying all evidence is best, umu!"

Nodding his head like he accomplished a great thing, he crossed his arms over one another and stared off into the distance. After which, he sped up toward the five extremely powerful energy signatures, each one stronger than the last.

FWIP!

Upon slipping out of the speed stream, Lucifer was greeted with the sight of three women and two men, all wearing robes with fire marks plastered across them.

Possessing auras in the Peak Nascent Soul Realm and carrying around attitudes akin to those of emotionless statues, they levitated in a triangle-shaped formation.

Deeply glaring at the raven-haired man that just appeared, the man at the forefront of this five man party said, "You will die. You know this, do you not?"

Hands behind his head and whistling a faint tune, Lucifer said, "Sure, I am prepared to die at any given moment. But do I think that I'll die to you losers in that lame ass Halloween getup? Nah, I think I'd win."

WAAA!

Gathering together an aura at the very peak of the Late Nascent Soul Realm, Lucifer's grin widened to both his ears. Then, like a crimson black blur, he broke the sound barrier!

Blitzing through countless air donuts, his speed achieved levels hundreds of times that of sound. But from the looks of it, his speed was only exponentially increasing!

"Tell me, I do wonder if any of you have ever been hit by a freight train??" With his face fading in and out of reality, he suddenly appeared behind the leading 'Fire Brigadier'. Dipping in for a downward spiral kick, he seemed to be going for the kill!

However, as if the Head Fire Brigadier witnessed every move that their target had made thus far, his left eye shot in the direction of the insanely fast man. Then, with an iron-hard fist, he attempted to perform the same move that a baldy used on a speedy assassin's testicles!
