Chapter 108 – The ultimate, most expensive human bomb ever!

Chapter 108 – The ultimate, most expensive human bomb ever!

Gerhart arrived in his bedroom and removed his shirt. He planned to make a new clone! However, this time, it wasn't like Primo. He planned on making a linked clone.

{Unique Talent - Superior Linked Division(Main Body): Can divide into dependant subordinates with different personalities, roles, talents, and souls but share their consciousness, memories, and thoughts through a soul link. However, these bodies and souls are also dependent on the main body and cannot grow more powerful than the main body. Hence, they have absolute loyalty to the main body. Creating each clone requires a corresponding amount of energy(The more invested, the better the quality). Subordinates are incapable of Division and cannot leave a 100km distance from the Main Body. When Divided, they consume energy but can also gather energy. Limit to Division: 10,000)

{Unique Talent - Superior Linked Merge(Main Body): Can merge with subordinate bodies, gaining all their talents and skills while improving and providing power to the main body. Merged bodies can separate again. When merged, subordinate bodies don't consume energy and add their energy to the main body. The main body won't become bloated due to merging. Limit to merge: 10,000)

Gerhart was planning on creating a Clone as a test and giving it a Corrupted Crystal. After corrupting a clone, Gerhart could merge with it, those borrowing its talents, including the Corrupted talent, while creating an insulation layer. While he could technically eat one himself, he didn't want to eat any of those things, even with the Relic in his body.

"Okay, let's start the test," Gerhart muttered as he attempted Superior Linked Division.

As soon as he activated it, Gerhart had a vague sense as a long list of roles appeared in his mind.

Select a role:

BlankServantLaborerMinerLumberjackFarmerMechanicArchitectBuilderSmithHunterFoot SoldierLiving BombArcherCavalryBodyguardBrawlerMagicianHealerThiefAssassinAgentMerchantMinisterDiplomatAlchemistDoctorHerbalist...EntertainerMusicianDancerSeducerGigolo...PlayboyLittle BrotherBig BrotherUgly BastardBDSM Enthusiast...

Gerhart was interested as he read the list, but he also read some weird shit.

"Well, I get that a city has those, but I don't want to make a seducer or gigolo. And what the fuck is with Playboy, Little Brother, Big Brother, and Ugly Bastard? Are those even roles?! They sound like personalities! And why, for all that is holy, is BDSM there?!" Gerhart mentally retorted before ignoring the weird roles.

He didn't need anything specific, so he chose a Blank.

The Host is performing Subordinated Linked Division on himself.The new body has a dependent subordinated body and soul. If the main body dies, the subordinate dies.The Subordinate Body can serve as an extension of power but cannot replace the main body should it fall. Low priority advised.Reminder - Investing Energy now is +100% more efficient.

"This is a test run, so 100 points are fine," Gerhart muttered.

Soon, a lump of flesh grew out of Gerhart as he felt a slight drain in his Aura, Magic, and Vitality. The lump soon separated from him, turning into a full-sized adult. The clone's appearance differed from his, and while it shared his consciousness, memories, and thoughts, its personality was blank. It wasn't like his Split Soul, which was an exact copy. Also, he felt the clone was subservient to him, unlike Primo.

Looking down, Gerhart saw it had genitalia, but it was relatively smallish to even his original size. It was also afflicted with Sterility. While Gerhart could make it to have sex with someone, it was fruitless.

Looking at its talents, it was akin to seeing your common peasant.

"Hm. Okay, let's start the test." Gerhart muttered as he took out the bottle with the A-rank Corrupted Crystals.

These were the weakest crystals the Echos produced and treated as expendable cannon fodder. But that was what Gerhart needed.

"Eat." Gerhart handed the crystal to the clone.

"Yes, master." The clone blankly replied, taking the crystal before obediently swallowing it.

Almost instantly, the clone underwent a violent transformation as black veins covered it, and its eyes glowed red before receding and returning to normal.

Warning! Unnamed Subordinate Clone ingested Malicious Energy.Hacking Malicious Energy- Success.

Gerhart also received energy from the Universe. But the amount was negligible, barely 50,000 points. Gerhart didn't need to be a genius to know this clone was mass-produced cannon fodder.

Looking at the clone, it was now more robust and handsome, and it packed a larger package.

"Hm... I see." Gerhart muttered as he checked the clone's status.

???

"... Right..." Gerhart muttered as he looked at the clone. "Show me your status."

"Yes, master." The clone blankly replied.Ne/w novel chapters are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m

Gerhart then checked again.

To prevent crippling and killing the target, convert the Malevolent Energy to a benign form.

Doing so would be beneficial to the target.

"When the disposal time comes, I can leave them a nice present." Gerhart maliciously smiled as he planned his new clone.

He had to get Qold's Great Mind of Clearwater, so he called her over to copy it since Gerhart needed it before he got to work.

Investing in the clone's five core talents given by the archetype up to tier 7, Gerhart didn't stop, raising it to the Golden Marrow and evolving it into a Golden Noble Human. Thanks to that, Gerhart roughly found the benefit that a Golden Noble Human gets.

Benefits: Five Initial and Evolvable Compound Talents. Allowing tier 7 talents to evolve. Base racial stats are three grades more powerful.

Finally, Gerhart also invested a bit so it would have the stats of an SS-rank Berserker and gave it a Greater Veil of Mysteries and Superior Transformation(Partial). And for the final touch, he gave it the SS-rank crystal.

Looking at his masterpiece, Gerhart had a broad and malicious smile.

"Perfect." Gerhart said.

"Master, you are evil... I like it!" Laverne also had an evil grin.

Later, Gerhart showed everyone his new clone, now dressed. It looked like his disguised self, and no one could tell the difference.

"Everyone, meet my new clone, Deadmeat Junior," Gerhart introduced. "Deadmeat Junior, show your status for everyone."

Everyone had an unnatural look on their faces. Those who knew Gerhart's dark past tried hard not to laugh.

"Yes, master." Deadmeat Junior nodded.

When the party saw Deadmeat Junior's status, they couldn't help but inhale a sharp breath.

"Gerhart, that's evil..." Hope said, her lips contorting.

"Nya... I almost feel sorry for them." To-Meri winced.

"Hahaha! That's my master!" Qold openly laughed.

"I think I met my nemesis." Havre looked at it with a hint of fear.

"How much damage would he cause if he exploded?" Ray warily asked.

"I am unsure, but it would likely match a tier 8- no, tier 9- no... maybe a tier 10 forbidden spell?" Calvin made a bold guess.

"May the one unfortunate enough to get hit by it find quick rest." Bertrand made a silent prayer.

"Oh, man. I want to see it go boom!" Ariyana's eyes sparkled.

"Big boom! Stella wants to see it too!" Stella chirped in.

"If you want to see it explode, stay far away. I think ten- no, twenty miles would be safe. I think." Flora warily said.

"And build a magic-proof shelter using several layers of defense- just in case," Honorius added.

What they were seeing was the ultimate, most expensive human bomb ever!
