Infinite Clone System Made Me Too OP!

...…

"My Technique…" Lucifer muttered with an otherworldly tone, as a filament of iridescent energy enveloped every inch of his entire being.

The energy intensified, reaching a point where it could no longer be seen by the naked eye. Then, within the depths of the Metal Spiritual Cave, a mysterious phenomenon occurred.

WHIRL!

What appeared to be a sword of unimaginable proportions materialized out of thin air, hovering over Lucifer's head like the divine blade of the gods.

"So this is what my technique shall be… the first tangible proof of my existence beyond that of being a former slave."

He drew the ethereal sword close to his body before searching for the name of the technique that would define him for the rest of his life.

"Sword… Slash… Sword Slash?" Confusion clouded Lucifer's facial expression, thinking that this was definitely not right.

There was no way that his ultimate, final technique could be called 'Sword Slash'!

Right…?

He gripped the sword tighter, causing its essence to fuse with the very core of his being.

Before he could even attempt to rename this super-powerful technique, 'Sword Slash' had already been inscribed into every fiber of his existence...

"This surely can't be the case… I mean, there's no way that the culmination of my comprehension of tens of thousands of techniques culminated in the name 'Sword Slash'."

Lucifer nearly stumbled when he saw the symbol etched into his Dantian Space—a large golden Chinese character that translated to 'Sword Slash'.

"It truly is the name… the Ultimate Technique… one that is beyond human understanding… Sword Slash…"

A wry chuckle was on the verge of escaping Lucifer's lips as he pondered how his awesomeness had been reduced to this simple name.

However, after a moment or two of glumness, he got over the lackluster name and accepted it, before deciding to test just what his 'Sword Slash' could do.

If his Combat Strength had previously been in the Early Foundation Establishment Realm, then surely it was far greater now with 'Sword Slash'.

Fortunately for him, his speculations proved to be right on the mark. This was verified when he unleashed a slash of the ethereal sword, and a monstrous 1000-meter crevice was carved in the deepest depths of the Metal Cave!

The sheer force of the powerful attack almost alerted the Head Lord, but luckily for Lucifer's wallet, such a scenario didn't come to pass…

After the first strike, Lucifer continued experimenting with his Sword Slash even further. But contrary to the all-out attack that he had initially let out, this time he released much smaller and more controlled slashes.

Lucifer soon realized he could do even more with Sword Slash, as he didn't necessarily need the illusory sword or a real sword with him if he wanted to utilize the technique.

He could use his hands, his feet, or even his ears to unleash a miniature arc of Qi—an arc that would contain an array of elements within. Ice, Fire, Mud, Lava, Crystal, Lightning, and more—all could be selectively incorporated into the Sword Slashes.

Lucifer could even choose to just use the Ice Element Attribute-based Techniques, and it wouldn't be a problem.

Furthermore, he could do this for not only the elements but also the attributes of certain techniques, like strength, agility, or stealth-boosting techniques.

He could use one of them… or he could use all of them.

But regardless of the extensive capabilities the Sword Slash possessed, the boost to Lucifer's Battle Power was the most significant factor. And to be honest, the boost was absolutely massive…

A bright blur of blue and golden light flashed.

BLING!

Lucifer stared at the changes in his system interface, awe-struck at all the glorious things he could now do with all the newfound power contained within his fingertips-

"Wait… 10 Quadrillion!? What the Fuck!?"

His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw the astronomical price tag for his Clone upgrade.

"1-10 Quadrillion…" For the first time in Lucifer's life, he began to stutter.

This price was 1,000 times more than what it had been before!

"To have me pay so much… What the hell is wrong with this wanky ass system… Do you know, I needed a whole month of mass murder to amass this wealth? And now, the Infinite Clone System wants to suck me dry. Doesn't it have any sympathy…? Where's the justice in this cruel world…?"

Lucifer clutched his chest while he reluctantly pressed down on the Upgrade button, followed by the Clone Purchase button.

FWIP! FWIP! FWIP!

Four Middle-Foundation Establishment Realm Clones materialized out of thin air, their presences overwhelming, and their demeanors commanding. Yet, that didn't ease the pain in Lucifer's heart.

"You bunch… Go and kill… Just keep on killing until my heart has been soothed." Slumping into a nearby chair, Lucifer stared at his roof with a listless gaze, counting the number of cracks it had.

After a few minutes, he ultimately mustered the resolve to lift his bum off the chair.

"With all of my clones hard at work… I guess I should do something as well…"

The lazy half of Lucifer really wanted to just laze around and do nothing but sit back for the rest of forever…

But the Infinite Grind half of him

would never allow such a travesty, so with a fire in his eyes, he…!

*Plop!*

Took a nap!
