Infinite Clone System Made Me Too OP!

...….

A few days flew by in the blink of an eye as Lucifer spent this entire time cultivating at the 'Spiritual Pool Congregation'. This was what the official name of the dozen+ Spiritual Pools was.

Over this period of time, he managed to not only get his Lightning and Fire Elemental Body's to Stage 7, but he also felt that the Water Elemental Body was close to leveling up as well.

In addition to this, Lucifer also started to feel a potential Physique rearing its head within his body. It was unknown what exactly this Physique would turn out to be, but it would surely increase his chances of achieving a Stage 12 Elemental Body.

Though Lucifer would need more than 1 Special Physique if he wanted to reach Stage 12 in all Elements, a single Physique was a good place to start.

On a side note, the amount of Clone Essence and wealth that he obtained over this recent period of time was quite substantial. It even reached the point that if each 10th Stage Qi Condensation Realm Beast gave him 250,000 Clone Essence, he was making that per Clone Kill.

And furthermore, let's say that each Clone made that with every 3 minutes that passed, accounting for the lack of High-Level Spiritual Beasts.

If one were to take that number, multiply it by 20 to get up to an hour, further multiply by 24 for a day, and then, of course, multiply by the number of Clones…

Well, let's just say that Lucifer was now making 100 Billion+ Clone Essence with each passing day. And that number was only growing with time and Clone Essence spent on Clones.

To sum it up, Lucifer was once again rolling in the big bucks, edging ever closer to a Trillion Clone Essence!

Or at least, that was the case till Clone Summoning Day came around…

It turned out that reaching the 10th Stage Qi Condensation Realm was also another milestone for cost management, bringing the original 10,000 straight up to 10,000,000!

10 Million Clone Essence for a single 10th Stage Qi Condensation Rank Clone… Is the system trying to drain me dry?

If you wanted to do it so badly, you should've just asked me to pull my pants down, and I would've let you go to town…

Tsk!

Lucifer clicked his tongue with a hidden trace of contempt in his gaze. After a moment or two of allowing his moni to stay with him for one second longer, he dumped more than half of it right into the purchase of Clones.

More than 200 Billion Clone Essence vanished without a trace as 20,000 10th Stage Qi Condensation Rank Clones were added to the 'Clone Storage'.

"Well… With the piercing of my heart done with and out of the way, I think it's about time I increase the rate at which I farm both Alchemy and the Beasties."

Lucifer had already prepared for this moment beforehand, so the conniving Lu Lu was asked to bring in more than 10,000 Low to Mid-Common Rank Furnaces the other day.

She asked no questions, made a few naughty moves on the 'Naive Young Master', and then went on her merry way, acting as if everything was only natural.

That Lu Lu… To acquire so many Alchemy Furnaces… Just what sort of batshit crazy seductress is she?

Lucifer was reminded of that curvaceously devious woman before dispersing his train of thought and getting back to the matter at hand.

FWIP!

50 exact copies of a rather handsome, sharp-eyed young man materialized from thin air. In their hands were large bronze cauldrons, all of which Lucifer spawned them in with.

"You all, go make my pills. Make sure they come out in the most addictive way possible… If I don't come out smacking some sense into a few Young Masters upon ingestion, then you will slave 10 times as hard. Is that understood?"

"Yes, it shall be done." All of the Clones responded in a robotic monotone.

"Very good; be on your way then." Lucifer shooed away his clones before summoning the next batch of clones.

After more than 10 minutes and over a hundred iterations of this, all of the Drug Slaves stationed their positions in holes in the ground.

They all actively used presence concealing techniques as they concocted pills like little mole rats in their burrows. This increased efficiency a millionfold and allowed for a pleasant master experience!

As for the Clone's feedback… Well, that didn't matter!

Anyhow, I still have to get out my Farming Clones. They should be capable of some good slaving out in the forests, dancing among the monkeys.

FWIP!

Another series of Clone Spawning happened, this time spanning over half an hour.

Considering how many slaves had to be put to work, the substantial amount of time made a lot of sense...

Nevertheless, after this was done and over with, Lucifer watched as the last group of clones dashed into the woods with nothing but their fists to fight with.

"I guess I should get them some proper gear…"

Lucifer truly rued this day ever coming to pass, but there was no helping it now. Either he coughed up the funds or his clones stayed as naked monkeys for the rest of the Infinite Grind!

"My reputation among the readers will surely go down if I don't at least clothe my Clones. I guess this has to be done… For the impeccable rep sheet that I possess… Truly sublime amount of rep…"

Sigh after sigh escaped his mouth as he reluctantly took out a bag from his Storage Ring. Inside that bag, there were hundreds of millions of Fire Coins, all acquired from the Beast Materials 'he' collected all by himself.

"Damn, I'm good! Even in this aggressive environment, I managed to effortlessly obtain all these resources. And I did so with these two hands…" Lucifer extended his hands and marveled at the awesomeness that was produced by them. "...Oh the woes of being superior to the masses… My humbleness truly knows no bounds."

He clenched his hand midair as he reveled in his immense amount of shamelessness. After which, he went back to the grind, arduously instructing a few of the 'Marketing Clones' to buy up every Common Rank Weapon they could find. He also told a few of them to sell up any of the Monster Cores and Materials that he didn't need for Alchemy.

"With all of the hard work out of the way, it's time to get down to the easy stuff."

Lucifer walked out of the Water Cave, as he had just achieved a 7th Stage Water Elemental Body.

Following this minor achievement in his eyes, he walked toward the Earth Spiritual Pool. As he did this, a certain being was watching from the other side of the Elemental Filaments, inexplicable greed flashing past this being's gaze.

"All of your Spiritual Stones will be mine! I don't care why you're spending so much time inside so many different Spiritual Pools; wasted effort does not pay the bills. You however… You will pay all my bills!! Jajajaja!"

Maniacal laughter followed not long after as the elusive entity nearly fell off his rolling chair.
