Infinite Clone System Made Me Too OP!

.....

"Ho? Now what the hell is this? Why is the Clone Essence in a different formatting as opposed to before?"

[Ding! For the convenience of the host, the system has decided to multiply and convert all existing and future Clone Essence. Therefore, from this point onward, your Clone Essence will be termed 'CE' and will have an exponent to indicate its existence value-]

"Hol up a second, you acoustic fuck! What the hell does that even mean?? Existence Value???"

Lucifer felt like the system was purposefully making everything extremely complicated. And just as he expected:

[Ding! To dumb it down for the mentally impaired host, big numbers are better! Big equals better! B.I.G—E.Q.U.A.L.S—B.E.T.T.E.R.]

The system slowly reiterated the last part on purpose, clearly making fun of its host.

"...You are truly looking for a beating, aren't you…?" Lucifer tightly grabbed hold of the blue illusory screen. Then, with overwhelming force, he crushed with all his strength.

However, contrary to what would've happened if the screen were a human head, not a single thing changed for the pop-up.

Even in spite of that, Lucifer could feel it oozing smugness from miles away.

But, in the end, there was nothing he could do to that damn system of his…

Tsk.

Lucifer clicked his tongue before throwing the illusory screen off to the side. After which, he started to walk away from the bench he was sitting at.

Or, at least, that was what was supposed to happen…

[Ding! The host treats the system so roughly and then leaves right after he's finished? What sort of bastard is the host?[

Tick!

Lucifer swore that he would one day get that damn system of his to permanently shut up. But, for now, he had to hone his patience.

[Ding! That's right, host! Just run away from all your problems! Quite typical of a bastard!]

'Why does this system make it so hard…?'

Lucifer was on the verge of snapping when, out of nowhere, a small head popped out of a clothing booth.

"Changed clothes… Yum yum now…?"

At the suggestion of her big brother, Li Yan changed her raggedy, blood-stained clothes and got into something cleaner. Which, according to Lucifer, made it easier to travel without so many prying eyes on them.

Though that was what he said, Li Yan had a feeling that her big brother was a little nicer than he appeared to be.

"Ahh, so it seems like you're finally out? Damn well took you long enough! Felt like I was going to fall asleep out here!"

Of course, Lucifer's words were very rough, and he immediately came across as a douchebag. Still, when Li Yan felt him lift her up on his shoulders, she knew that he was different than the rest of her deceased family.

'Big brother not good peoples… But he is my peoples…'

Li Yan tightly hugged Lucifer's head, seemingly not willing to let go.

Even though they had only truly gotten to know each other for such a short period of time, her big brother was the first person to ever treat her like another living creature.

Lucifer may be evil to his core, but Li Yan didn't care.

She just wanted to stay around him for a little bit longer—just a little bit longer…

…

After a few minutes of traveling through Slothian City, Lucifer's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. With his Qi Cultivation achieving the Absolute Peak of the Middle Foundation Establishment Realm, his Battle Power finally broke through to the Early Nascent Soul Realm!

Add that to his Body Cultivation reaching the Absolute Peak of the Copper Rank and his Battle Power even started to progress further into the Early Nascent Soul Realm!

'Ahhh… My Battle Power is improving quite nicely, but if I want to speed up the process, I will need to acquire some more high-level clones.'

'Even though I spent up half of my clone essence a few seconds ago, I was barely able to buy 10 Limit Half-Step Nascent Soul Rank Clones.'

'Though that is good enough for a few lucrative hunting sessions, it isn't anywhere enough to accomplish what I wish to accomplish.'

'That is especially the case when considering just how many powerhouses reside within a Central City like Slothian City.'

Lucifer's perceptive gaze scanned his surroundings, and in just the closest 100 miles, he could feel the existences of at least 10 Nascent Soul Realm Experts.

With his current strength, there was just no way he could hope to loot Slothian City in the same manner as Riversea City. Though that wasn't to say that there were absolutely no other options.

For starters, Lucifer had five of his highest-level clones sign up for an organization called the 'Hunting Association'.

It was a business that specialized in the acquisition of beast materials, obtained through the act of hunting extremely powerful Spiritual Beasts.

Making a Party called the 'Loot Reapers', Lucifer would slowly but surely add to the number of members in the party.

Of course, all of the members would just be different versions of himself. Still, it was this way of exponential replication that would lead to a quick and efficient takeover of Slothian City before ultimately moving onto the Royal Capital.

As for the other five highest-level clones, well, they were sent off to be Alchemy Masters!

Lucifer decided to do something different this time around. Instead of having his clones dig out holes in the ground and concoct Alchemy like little mole rats, he would have them show varied levels of skills at the 'Alchemy Guild'.

Through this well-thought-out action of his, he hoped to have his clones climb the ranks of the Alchemy Guild and achieve high-ranking positions, thus making it possible for Lucifer to conquer two major aspects of Slothian City.

One was Hunting, which was one of the main sources of income for the city. Whereas the other one was Alchemy, which was just as lucrative and also just as vital for city operations.

Now all that Lucifer needed to plan out was the usurpation of the Magistrate's office and the Information industry. Of which, included organizations related to assassination, traders, merchants, etc.

Branching off of information, there was also the Merchant Wagon, which was what bought and sold Pills, Beast Materials, and anything else that helped the city function.

Without even needing to be the strongest in Slothian City, Lucifer already had a clear path to complete Domination set out right in front of him. And all he had to do was reach out and take advantage of anything he could-!

"Hungry… Maybe eat… Hmm… Dere is good."
