Infinite Clone System Made Me Too OP!

Chapter 74: The Light Nation, The Great Pope



.....

Lucifer proceeded to pull a katana out of his storage ring. However, before he could plunge it into his stomach and go out with a righteous heart filled with loot, a small hand landed on his head.

It started to rub his hair—back and forth, back and forth. Without stopping its rythematic movements, the pats kept on coming.

For some reason, Lucifer found this gesture of Li Yan's quite sweet. So, with newfound will to live, he turned his head behind him and-

Wipe Wipe

"..."

"What are you doing, Li Yan…?" Lucifer inquired with a twitching expression, his eyes shaking erratically as if he were on the verge of completely snapping.

"Yums… No napkins, so soft hair good for dirty."

Li Yan showed her chocolate-covered hands to her big brother before going back to wiping them off on her personal head napkin.

Lucifer's face darkened to insane degrees as he tried his best to restrain the growing urge to pick the girl up by her head and sling her into a wall.

However, after taking a moment to meditate inside his mind, he calmed his nerves and focused on the matter at hand. Namely, it was of his Body Refinement Realm and how he planned to further progress it.

"If I just use the Godfiend Technique, then I should be able to passively advance my Body Refinement Realm up to the peak of the Gold Rank. Still, considering that I am just of the Initial Copper Rank, there's definitely a long way to go."

Lucifer immediately started to circulate the Godfiend Technique. Hence, the Qi in the air flowed toward him in great amounts. After which, it created a thin layer of energy around his body.

This energy stuck to him like glue and faded into a certain layer of his skin. Which, in return, led to it not only actively refining his body but also staying hidden from all prying eyes.

"Say, system, what is the percentile rate of my Body Refinement Realm?"

[Ding! Your current cultivation rate for the Body Path is '24.5% of the way into the Initial Copper Rank']

[Ding! 24.7%... 25.2%... 25.8%... 26.4%...]

As Lucifer's thoughts flipped by in a measurement of nanoseconds, his Body Refinement Realm improved by leaps and bounds!

"It will likely take no more than-" He couldn't even finish his guess before being interrupted by a system notification, saying:

[Ding! Your Body Refinement Realm has progressed from the 'Initial Copper Rank' to the 'Early Copper Rank'.]

[Ding! Your Battle Power has slightly improved!]

Following all of these system notifications, Lucifer felt the layer of energy over his skin start to thicken in density. Subsequently, his Battle Power increased appropriately.

Taking a quick peek at his Battle Power, Lucifer realized that it was very close to breaking past the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm!

"After all this damn time of fighting against that barrier, it's finally about to crack! I have been in the Half-Step Nascent Soul Battle Power rank for ten seconds too long!"

He felt that all he needed was one last push to tip him over the edge!

"But to get that last little bit… Hmm… There is no one left alive besides that dumb whore aunt of mine. So in the end, I still have to head out for the Fire Nation Royal Capital."

Lucifer was a little annoyed about this information, but that didn't stop him from leaving the cavern with the small munchkin still atop his head.

His destination:

Aunt Fu Wen, and then the Royal Capital of the Fire Nation.

As the two lunatic siblings went through many peculiar phases, a few figures in priest attire walked through golden-plated halls of the Light Nation's Holy Cathedral.

"Brother Huang, why has the Great Pope called for our convening today?"

"You have not heard?"

"Heard what?"

"The Lightning Lunatic—he's dead."

"!?!?"

"How could he just die!? He was at the top of the Half-Step Nascent Realm! There's no way he could just drop over dead!"

The first priest was someone ranked fairly high within the Light Nation, and he was also someone who went by the name of Li Gao.

On the other hand, the second priest was ranked quite a bit higher than Li Gao. Still, he was at just the right rank to be privy to more information than Li Gao.

"Ai, Li Gao. You really don't keep up with the times. Always so busy with the comprehensions of the Divine Samaritan Scripture… It's admirable, but it might one day lead to your death…" Zhao Huang heaved a heavy sigh before turning around a corner. "The Lightning Lunatic as well as the rest of Riversea City have all died following the attack of the Water Nation..."

"???"

"What do you mean by that!? Riversea City, then the Devilduke Family… They lost to the Water Nation…? If that's the case, why would the Lightning Lunatic be dead…?"

Li Gao truly couldn't comprehend what his senior brother was saying, but that didn't stop him from hounding him about all the things he didn't understand.

In the end, Zhao Huang had to inform his Junior Brother of every single thing that his silly little brain wasn't already aware of. Which, as a result, led to Li Gao staring slack-jawed at his Senior Brother.

"To wipe out every single person in Riversea City… The Water Nation… The Devilduke Family… and all the forces we sent in to assist the Water Nation… T-This is…"

Li Gao was at a complete loss of words, utterly unable to comprehend the nonsense that he was listening to…

"Whatever the case may be, you will need to get your bearings together before we meet the Great Pope. Even though you are a genius in the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm, you are still new around here." Zhao Huang pushed his body around another corner, making it to a wide open space.

Expensive chandeliers and fancy, dazzling jewels drooped down from the roof of this room. Still, the most eye-catching thing in the extravagant location had to be the ten golden-armored men, all of whom stood in front of the Great Pope.

The Great Pope.

Someone who stood at the very apex of the Light Nation!

He was the epitome of perfection in the eyes of all the devout zealots of the Light Nation!

He was their God!

But something changed within him on one fateful day…

What that something was… Well, no one knew for sure…
