Chapter 63: The Assignment Of The Slave Force
.....
The first thing Lucifer noticed was the fact that he may have accidentally bought 100+ Middle Golden Core Formation Realm Clones…
In spite of that, the next thing he looked at was the 1st Order Mystic Physique, which, if one might recall, was the culmination of all his Elemental Physiques.
"If I want to progress my Battle Power into the Late Golden Core Formation Realm, I will definitely need to use a bit of Clone Essence in order to evolve Mystic Confluence."
Puting his intentions into action, Lucifer spent up 100 Nonillion Clone Essence. After which, he opened up that part of his system interface.
BLING!
{[Mystic Confluence:]}
[2nd Order Mystic Physique] - [0/100 Decillion]
Following this pop-up, Lucifer took a glance at his Battle Power.
BLING!
[Battle Power: Late Golden Core Formation Realm (Initial)]
Overall, Lucifer wasn't too disappointed with this result, as it meant that his control and utilization of the elements had quite the direct impact on his Battle Power.
Crackle—
He had the Lightning Element dance on his fingertips; it jumped around his palm like a dragon over the vast red seas.
After a second, he put out the Lightning Dragon and controlled the rate at which it fizzled out. After which, he said, "With this level of control over the elements, I should be able to start creating my own techniques to incorporate into |Sword Slash|. What I create will be at a far higher level than all this other street garbage I'm getting from the loot bags."
Even though Lucifer obtained more than 100,000 different Techniques—ranging from the Low-Common Rank to the Late-Mortal Rank—none of them did much for his |Sword Slash|.
It may have gotten to the Late-Mortal Rank, but that wasn't much when considering just how many techniques he incorporated…
However, even with these lackluster results in technique development, Lucifer still wished to see just how far he could evolve a technique as simple as |Sword Slash|.
But for that to happen at the maximum capacity, well, he would need to spend even more of his Clone Essence…
"100 Decillion Clone Essence… It is painful, but I will do it for the greater good…"
Usually Lucifer would say 'fuck you!!' to the greater good of anything in this bullsh*t world, but just this once, he decided to 'take one for the team'.
As he wondered just how one man could be so magnanimous, the system interface started flashing bright blue and golden lights.
BLING!
[Ding! The system has decided to inform the host of how much of a narcissistic prick he is! That is all!]
"!!!"
Lucifer was taken out of his self-indulgent reverie by the condescending words of that stupid ass system of his.
"'HahaHA!' You can laugh your ass off right now, but you just wait! Wait until I come-a-knocking and turn you into the biggest loot bag there ever was!"
After getting out these snarky comments, Lucifer turned his face away from the system and clicked the upgrade button on his Mystic Confluence Physique.
After getting another large boost to his Elemental Control and Battle Power, he put all his focus onto the advancements of his cultivation.
…
After nearly 3 hours of arduous cultivation, Lucifer eventually reached a point where he could begin to breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But for that to happen, he first had to create the absolute best 'Foundation Establishment Building' pill that he could make.
And for that to come to pass…
"Listen, clones #50 through #180, you will begin to concoct Foundation Establishment Building Pills, and you will do so until you're able to produce the absolute best! I'm talking no impurities, full pill lines, maximum number of pill clouds! Hell, I even want you to have that thing untouched by the world itself! And the best part—I want you to make 10,000 of them!"
Lucifer planned to overdose on pills while circulating the 'Star Devourer' Technique, which was what he had been using to consume so many pills with so few aftereffects.
However, for him to reach the epitome of OD, he had his personal slaves make use of High-Mortal Rank Furnaces. Thereafter, they would stuff the pills into his mouth until his belly exploded!
With this plan set in motion, Lucifer watched as various Middle Golden Core Rank Clones created an utterly stupendous number of pills!
It even reached a stage where the entire cave abode was filled to the brim with a plethora of mixed medicinal scents.
Tens of thousands of pills were created every minute. And of those pills, only a very small number of them met the conditions that Lucifer set out in the beginning.
This displeased him greatly, but he still had some time until the fight between his father and the Lightning Lunatic ended, so there was still a decent amount of leeway.
Regardless of that information, while a good chunk of the clones worked on concocting pills, Lucifer himself made great strides in the creation of high-quality techniques.
During this time, it even made it to a point where dozens of high-quality Mortal-Rank Techniques were being made by the minute!
"Dum didi Doo~ I think I created a total of 2,000 Techniques, which means that it's time for conversion."
With his Mystic Confluence in the 3rd Order, the creation and practical application of techniques was made as easy as flipping his hand. After all, over his many years of life, the number of complex concepts he invented had been numerous and eventful.
Even so, Lucifer didn't like to dwell on his shitty past, so he simply continued to sing a tune from his previous life. He did so while attempting to advance his Sword Slash Technique into the Peak-Mortal Rank.
Such an improvement would most definitely take him into a new level of Battle Power, and that was what he needed if he wished to reach the last step of plan 1.
While Lucifer's main body and Alchemy Slaves worked on their set objectives, a number of Battle Slaves grinded exp in the world outside.
Over the last few hours, and with their increased numbers, they managed to acquire more than 15 Undecillion Clone Essence!
Now, what did this mean for Lucifer, one might ask?
Well, the truth was that such a measly sum did just about Jack diddly squat in terms of helping him acquire more high-level clones…
After all, every single Late-Golden Core Formation Realm Clone cost 10 Undecillion Clone Essence a pop!
This price tag was absolutely fucking ridiculous in Lucifer's opinion, but for the Infinite Clone System, it likely derided and sneered at him behind his back.
It watched as he writhed in the agony of it all!
'In other words, the Infinite Clone System is a fucking cunt!'
That was essentially the summary of Lucifer's thoughts when the system was mentioned. Otherwise, the ideas that he formulated inside his head were relatively docile.
You know, the casual decapitation and genocides of entire ecosystems. Pretty typical stuff for him.
It wasn't like he was a pathological, crazy person (he definitely was)—it was just that he liked hearing the beeps go off inside his head…
Speaking of the antithesis…
BLING!
[Ding! You have killed two Grand Elders of the Devilduke Family, both of whom were in the Late Golden Core Formation Realm. The reward is 80 Undecillion Clone Essence!]
