Infinite Clone System Made Me Too OP!
Chapter 90: Death Would Be A Luxury

...…

After the damage was done and the loot was gathered, Li Yan cutely bobbed her head. "Stupids gone… Loot gathered… Time for big brother."

Her pitter-pattering could be heard echoing throughout the confines of the birdhouse as she skipped away from the scene of destruction and blood that she left at the southern entrance.

Leaving the restoration of the walls and such to the natural |Divine Harmony Formation| that she set up, Li Yan made her way to where her big bro was cultivating.

She couldn't wait to tell him of the killings that happened and the loot that was gathered!

…

The hours continued to pass for the sibling pair, and during this time, many squadrons of Water Nation Scouts came after them to annoy and give loot.

By the end of a series of mass murders, Lucifer's cultivation base had reached the peak stages of the Half-Step Core Formation Realm. Whereas his Body Cultivation jumped from the Late Bronze Rank all the way to the Initial Silver Rank!

With all of these things affecting his Battle Power, it had long since advanced to the absolute peak of the Middle Nascent Soul Realm!

All in all, the strength part of his system interface looked something like:

—-------

{[Lucifer]}

Middle Nascent Soul Realm Clone cost - 10,000 CE²

Body Cultivation - Initial Silver Rank (23.2%)

Qi Cultivation - Half-Step Core Formation Realm (Initial)

Battle Power - Middle Nascent Soul Realm (Absolute Peak)

—-------

With each clone still costing around 10,000 CE² and all those loot bags offering themselves up for free, Lucifer definitely had some spending room to go ahead and buy some more clones.

Although he really only had half a million stored up, it was good enough to improve the farming force by quite a substantial amount.

"Well, first things first; I'm for sure going to need to de-assimilate my current Middle Nascent Soul Rank Clones." Doing just as he said, all his strongest clones transformed into illusory energy before being transported into the system.

In no time at all, around 200,000 CE² was returned to the Clone Essence Bank.

Making sure everything was in check, with no evidence of the system having scammed him, he spent up half of 700,000 CE².

FWIP! FWIP!

35 clones with strength at the peak of the Middle Nascent Soul Realm spawned in out of nowhere. Then, without even giving them the time to digest their miraculous births, Lucifer sent them right out to do the slaving!

"You and you, go there! And you, make sure to do this! And you…!"

After getting out all of the commands, he gave them a good slap and sent them on their way to the grind.

Looking at all his little ducklings leave the nest, a small tear couldn't help but bubble up within his left eye. And with a teary expression, he was going to get down to the Eternal Grind himself-

"Big Bro… Time for eat…?"

'Ahhh-'

Lucifer was taken out of his thoughts by the meek voice of the short black-haired goth girl. Glancing at her from over his shoulder, he noticed that she had a cute heart-shaped bento box in her hands.

Viewing this sight, his complexion suddenly turned ashen, and his forehead became green. "Uhn uh! No way in hell am I consuming anything in that death trap! You already got to test out your Formations earlier! What else do you want from me!? I even had my clone guards go off duty just so you could get some fun in!"

While shouting profanities left and right, Lucifer backed away from his little sister like she had the goddamn plague!

'Nope! No shits! You have to be smoking ten blunts out your damn asshole if you think I'm letting anything in there anywhere near my mouth-hole!'

This time, he was not willing to give in to his sister's request! Nope, nope, nope-!

"Big Brother… Doesn't want to eat with me…" Li Yan's face darkened as she pulled out a butcher's knife and started to grind it against a large stone. "Very well… Will eat alone," she said, letting the grating sound of the sharpener deafen out her cuteness.

Staring at the scene of his psychopathic sister preparing the cutting knife for dinner, Lucifer knew there was at least a 99% chance that his throat would be missing a good chunk of it when next he went to sleep…

'Why is she so insane…? Just who in God's green earth does she take after??'

Giving in like a little p*ssy, Lucifer gritted his teeth and walked over to his sister. Upon setting themselves at a pink goth princess table, they opened up the bento box. And just as he expected…

"Devil's spawn…" He muttered, his eyes emulating the genuine terror he felt.

"What was that, Big Bro…?"

"Nothing… Just trying to say how fucking delicious this uhm… delicious thing looks!"

Lucifer had no clue what the hell he was looking at, so properly terming it was the least of his concerns…

"Mhmmkay… Eats it now." Li Yan believed every word that her big brother said, so without further ado, she stuck a spoon in the black demon soup and then stuck it in her brother's mouth. "Is it yumms…?" She asked.

Upon feeling the slimy black gunk go down his throat, Lucifer didn't know whether he should throw up, shit himself, or kill himself. But what he did know was that the saying 'The Righteous Suffer and the Wicked Prosper' was complete and utter bullshit!

'What 'Wicked Prosper'!? I am sure as hell suffering right now, fucking bitch ass fate!'

'This torture… It's on another level…'

'The texture, the taste, the grittiness… Everything about this dish makes me want to jump off a very high ledge!'

'Wait… Maybe this is the ultimate form of tempering one's mind…?'

'Hold up a damn minute!'

Out of nowhere, Lucifer suddenly received a mind boggling revelation. And to confirm said revelation, he focused on the tempering of his mind.

In less than a few milliseconds of consuming the worst creation to ever be produced by mankind, his suspicions were confirmed!

'My Mental Cultivation… It has just been activated, and furthermore, it directly broke through into the middle stages of the Early Copper Rank!'

Opening up his system interface, Lucifer was once again reminded of this ungodly method for which one could temper one's mind.

BLING!

—-------

{[Lucifer]}

Middle Nascent Soul Realm Clone cost - 10,000 CE²

Qi Cultivation - Half-Step Core Formation Realm (Initial)

Body Cultivation - Initial Silver Rank (32.4%)

Mind Cultivation - Early Copper Rank (52.8%)

Battle Power - Middle Nascent Soul Realm (Absolute Peak)

—-------

Looking at his various aspects of existence, Lucifer couldn't help but think about how overpowered he was going to become…

"Normally, one is not able to activate their mind cultivation until breaking through to the Soul Transformation Realm. Utilizing the effects of a nascent soul is the mainstream way of activating both a Soul and Mind Cultivation aspect of existence. However, it does appear that extreme mental torture also does wonders for activating and cultivating the Mind."

Feeling a mysterious trace of energy permeating the outer layer of his brain, Lucifer knew just what he had to do in order to advance in his Mind Cultivation…

Seeing as he couldn't make use of any Mind Cultivation Techniques until the Bronze Rank, there truly was only one method to speedily breakthrough multiple minor stages…

"Little Sister…" Ashen-faced and in a state of dismay, his voice resounded in the birdhouse.

"Yumms…?" Li Yan looked at her brother. Wondering what his opinion of her food was, she asked, "You like the yumms…?" With eyes filled with expectancy, she awaited a positive response.

Luckily for her, Lucifer had no choice but to say, "Yes… the yumms… So, so good… never had anything better in my entire life…"

Just getting out these words was enough to make him cringe. But for the sake of greater strength and some cool-ass telekinetic powers, this had to be done…

Upon hearing the 'sweet' words spoken by her Big Bro, Li Yan's pretty blue eyes brightened up. Then, with a slight hint of excitement, she said, "Wants more…??"

Swallowing his gut and shooting it out his asshole, Lucifer mustered up the courage to say, "O-Of course… I have never wanted anything more in my entire life…"

'For power… for power… for power…'

Chanting that phrase like it was his saving grace, he forced himself to smile and stick out a plate.

If before he took a spoonful of the shitstew, then now he was practically begging for the whole damn cake!

'Big Brother… He likes my food this much…? Useful… Am more useful…'

Although Li Yan was correct in assuming that she became more useful, it definitely wasn't because of the same reason.

But regardless of what exactly made her more useful, she seemed to beam from that emotionless shell of hers. During which, she made sure to give Big Bro all the slimy tentacles and unknown 'pretty' substances from her homemade shitbox.

"Mhmm… S-So good…" Eating up whatever was thrown his way, Lucifer truly started to believe that no known poison could hope to compete with the sheer lethality of what was going into his mouth.

'Death would be a luxury… But for more power, there is no time to worry about luxury.'

While forcing himself to gobble up everything that the venomous witch made for him, he watched as his Mind Cultivation skyrocketed!
