Chapter 867 Acquiring A New Divine Ability
—–It has been a few hours since the conversation with the Venerable, and I found myself sitting over a large room inside of the Ice Castle. This place was my area of experimentation where I often did as I pleased. After having a breakfast and spending some time with the family and friends, I came here alone to create a second body. It has yet to be a whole day outside, so there’s a few hours outside before we go to the Frost Tower. I have to use this time to create this second body of mine.
The theory is simple, because all my Skills ended fusing over my body permanently, I should be able to create a clone by pseudo converting myself into a slime, dividing myself, and then turning back into ice giant form… Right? Yeah, I hope so.
”Alright, here goes nothing!”
I turned into a mass of blue and rainbow slime, and quickly divided myself like an amoeba. It wasn’t hard at all to just cut off slimy pieces of my body to turn into Lesser Divine Slimes that I can easily control on my own from a distance, but a whole second body which is literally me in power and talent is not something so simple!
Of course, I had to take this Slime form for it!
”Hehe… Aren’t I a cute giant slime? I guess I am a Slime King now, not a Dragon King! …Wow, it’s crazy how I can just turn into a Slime. The power of the ability to gain Skills from the Mana Cores I ate was truly crazy…”
[Are you going to keep goofing around, Drake?]
”Ah! That attitude kind of reminded me of your past self…”
[I apologize if I was rude…]
”No, no, don’t worry, I am really just goofing around. Let’s get to the point… Divide!”
I imagined a giant knife slicing through my body and cutting it down into two equal halves, and there it was! I was two now. I looked at my other slime form and it was simply… me. We were slightly smaller in density though, but I made that density grow by using a large amount of Mana, until I was back to my original size with my first and second body.
”And now… Change!”
”And now… Change!”
FLASH!
FLASH!
Both of my bodies changed into the ice giant form. We were identical, even in the clothes, which actually were modified scales I had created and shaped into clothes, an easy way to just create clothing without wasting time and effort.
”Speak.”
”Speak.”
Wow! It worked, I can actually speak at the same time with both, and the other body is certainly me as well, it lacks a personal ego or something. Hm, to put it in perspective, it is as if my soul was a puppeteer using strings, both bodies were puppets controlled by the same strings. So at the end, it is a single puppeteer controlling two puppets. This is how it kind of feels to me right now. And it is just alright.
”Alright, I’ll use this one body to take care of things in Heaven Port while I’m off.” I said with a nod.
”Alright, I’ll use this one body to take care of things in Heaven Port while I’m off.”
”Ah, how do I make it so he doesn’t just say what my first body says?” I sighed.
”Ah, how do I make it so he doesn’t just say what my first body says?”
”Ugh, this is getting annoying…” I said.
”Ugh, this is getting annoying…”
I closed my eyes and concentrated my mind, and then, I quickly began to control the second body better. I began moving him independently from my first body, while I nodded with my first body, my second body was walking in four legs and then jumping around.
”Hahaha! Seeing myself do this is hilarious.” I laughed. “Maybe I could even turn you into a dragon while I ride you or something, wouldn’t that be hilarious? I could call myself a Dragon Rider like that.”
[That’s a strange idea.]
It is, isn’t it? Yeah… I better not try anything weird for now.
[…However, it does seem interesting if you were to use it to fake a new identity, Drake]
Thanks for being nice with me, but I know that I had a stupid idea…
[It appears that you have unlocked something new as well as the realization of your own goofiness]
Ding!
[You have acquired the [Doppelganger (B)] Divine Ability!]
Eh?! I got a new Divine Ability?!
—–
[Doppelganger (A)]
The Divine Ability that allows the user to create a perfect body double. This body double can use up to 70% of the user’s total power, and all of their Divine Abilities and Divinities. The initial cost has no Divine Power requirements, but to create multiple Doppelgangers, large quantities of Divine Power need to be used. Each Doppelganger Summoned loses 10% of their total power, summoning too many might result in weaker versions of the user. Doppelgangers can rejoin with the main body to enhance their power temporarily. The more Doppelgangers, the greater the boost.
—–
Huh, I see! I guess it allows for the creation of even more Doppelgangers without having to do all this arduous job I did. So my current one only has 70% of my power? I guess it is not completely perfect, but not bad either.
Also, I assume I can make the Divine Ability of higher Ranks so it has greater enhancements and effects, isn’t it? I could use it to probably make the Doppelganger stronger.
”System, how much does it cost to make more Doppelgangers?”
[Roughly 50k, each Doppelganger increases its cost by 50k for the next one]
”Eh?! So much?”
[The first one costs no Divine Power, but the others do cost because this divine power is being used to maintain them while also letting the copy part of your power. It seems to be an arduous technique that is oversimplified through the Divine System into merely asking for a portion of your Divine Power.]
”Interesting…”
