Chapter 883: Impressive Clone(s) (1/2)
There was a total of six vortexes that formed around him. As Krune intensified his concentration, the number of vortexes in the surroundings increased to twenty. He decided to stop at this number until he learned more about them and became more proficient in the process.
A tremendous quantity of Godly Energy was sucked into each vortex, forming smaller vortexes of their own as they began to condense into spheres of Godly Energy. While that was happening, Krune noticed how they resembled his Wisp Core.
He left most of them to continue about the process while he focused on three spheres at the end, causing them to change their structures slightly. Instead of Wisp Cores, they transformed into equipment. Besides those pieces of equipment, some vortexes took on another form, taking on the appearance of equipment spirits.
Krune then focused on another Wisp Core, changing it into a beating heart that soon developed into a human. He also experimented with other vortexes, changing them into demon beasts.
'So, I can change their structures without even having to make sure a small part of them resembles the Wisp Cores. Well, that saves me a lot of trouble,' Krune thought to himself as he watched the Godly Energy swirl into each figure and condense their forms—humans, equipment spirits, and demon beasts.
It took about five minutes before they finished condensing. It was a long process, considering he was in an environment with dense Godly Energy whose quality alone was equivalent to a Rank Three God Stone.
In other words, if he tried it in a regular environment, it would take even longer to condense them. Nevertheless, Krune was still satisfied with the result. After all, his incarnation wasn't based on instant effects but that of accumulation.
Therefore, as long as it was possible, he would be able to create them and store them. At the very moment they finished forming, Krune noticed how the energy in each of them was at the level of a First Stage Godly Fusion Realm cultivator.
With one thought, they began to pull in Godly Energy, accumulating energy as their cultivation bases gradually increased with time. They were cultivating, but it wasn't as if they had any cultivation bases. Krune was just attributing the energy in them to the respective cultivation base.
They were just sacks of energy, after all. Within a few hours, the quantity of energy in them had eventually reached the Second Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm. But while he was watching the process, Krune noticed a stark difference between them.
The Pseudo-Wisps who were in his Wisp form reached this level the fastest, followed by the equipment spirits, demon beasts, with humans being the last. Not only that, but this difference was by a lot, almost an hour between the Wisp form and Human form.
'So that means, the closer they are to my true appearance, the greater their efficiency,' Krune nodded as he understood what was happening, turning the appearance of every Pseudo-Wisps into Wisps. This was a secluded place anyway, so there was no danger of a third party stumbling upon them.
Besides, normal people were unable to recognize a Wisp. It must be noted how even Dima failed to recognize his true appearance and assumed he was a True Spirit. After all, none of them might have come across a Wisp or a True Spirit in all their lives. With that, they were just guessing.
When even the Guild Master of Sunkan City's Spirit Awakener Guild, a Semi-God Realm cultivator failed to guess his race, there was almost zero possibility of the regular populace being able to guess it correctly. Even then, he had no reason to show them his true appearance. It was only because the current place was secluded did he relax a bit.
To pursue greater efficiency, Krune turned all the Pseudo-Wisps into his original form, the Wisp form. The moment he did so, the vortex of Godly Energy being siphoned into them increased.
Then again, Krune noticed how he hadn't even made a dent in the amount of Godly Energy available in the dome. After all, it had been collecting energy from the entirety of the Lawless Plains for at least a couple of years. With that, it went without saying that the quantity of energy it had accumulated was massive.
The cultivation stages of the Pseudo-Wisps increased by one stage every few hours. After all, even when cultivating using Rank One God Stones, Krune broke through the stages of the Godly Fusion Realm in a matter of days.
Now, in the presence of Godly Energy, whose quality was akin to a Rank Three God Stone, their cultivation speeds were staggering.
'Let's check my other abilities,' Krune thought as Little Krune took action, exiting his Wisp Core. It burrowed into a Pseudo Wisp, taking control of it. Thanks to the shared thoughts, Krune felt as if he had two bodies right now.
The only defect of the Pseudo-Wisps was the fact that they didn't have any sentience.
Now, with a fragment of Little Krune taking control of one of them, it became no different from an actual Wisp. It wasn't a different individual per se but Krune himself. That was the sole difference. In any case, it was just a clone of himself that he could actively control.
Passively, Krune was able to control the Pseudo-Wisps to move and execute a couple of orders. But that was his limit. Even for this, he had to concentrate a lot of attention on each one. Nevertheless, when Little Krune took control of a Pseudo-Wisp, it became no different from his actual self.
