Chapter 206 - The Result of a Big Brain
Chapter 206 The Result of a Big Brain
After the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was fed, thin bolts of lightning flashed across the clone’s body. These hair-thin bolts of lightning moved around his body and then disappeared.
Roy knew that the fruit had taken effect. After heaving a sigh of relief, Roy felt more confident because, up until now, it was exactly the same as what he had expected.
The reason why he went through so much trouble was that when Roy carefully checked the attributes of his clone, he found something extremely interesting. Although the clone was a clone of him, it was merely the form. Not only did it not have any skills and most of his talents, but it also strangely did not construct any magic power nodes!
After all, it was only the Red Sea Egg replicating his body through using more than two thousand souls, so it was normal. Ultimately, his clone was not like Roy’s main body. Without undergoing any bloodline awakening, it was understandable that there were no magic power nodes in his body.
But this body that did not have any abilities or magic allowed Roy to find a direction of experimentation because the clone was like a blank canvas, giving Roy the possibility of drawing as he wished.
Roy was now trying to see if he could ‘customize’ his clone according to his wishes!
Even though there were no magic power nodes in the clone’s body, after Roy fed him a Devil Fruit, the clone became a body full of lightning power. After completing this step, Roy placed the clone aside for the time being. He looked at the Red Sea Egg beside him and found that it had become much more energetic after absorbing the Jinkela fertilizer, and its volume was slightly larger, so he stopped worrying about it. He opened the system’s 3D skill page and began drawing. The drawing of dynamic skills was relatively cumbersome. Moreover, it concerned the verification of Roy’s conjecture, so he was much more careful. It took him around eight hours to complete a new skill.
With a sigh of relief, Roy took out the Horadric Cube and began to transmute high-quality souls to exchange for the skill.
In the past, most of the skills Roy created used only a few high-quality souls because the ones he made only involved motion sequencing and some special effects. What truly determined the power of the skills was the amount of magic power Roy used. But this time, Roy transmuted a lot of high-quality souls.
He transmuted a hundred high-quality souls in total, which was equivalent to spending about ten thousand ordinary souls. Even so, Roy was still worried that it was not enough.
Because the attributes and definitions of this skill might be extraordinarily expensive… After obtaining enough high-quality souls, Roy reopened the skill page.
In the dynamic demonstration of this new skill, there was an extremely rare two-person model. In the scene, two exactly the same Roys were standing on one side each. The next second, the two Roys moved at the same time. They bent their knees and swung their arms in mirror images of each other. Every action was the same but in opposite directions!
The two Roys shuffled their feet as they approached each other. After all the actions finished, the two Roys bent sideways at the same time and placed the index fingers of both hands together!
This weird dance with left and right symmetry was very eye-catching, right? That’s right! The skill Roy created this time was the most awesome fusion technique in Dragon Ball
The fusion technique’s full name was Metamoran Fusion. According to the original work, this was a special skill from the Metamorans. It could fuse two beings of roughly equal size and power together. Once the fusion was successful, it could instantly enhance your combat strength!
Roy defined like this:
Metamoran Fusion: Two beings of similar size and power fuse together. After fusion, become an even more powerful being; specifically, strength fusion, speed fusion, activity fusion, magic power fusion, magic power node fusion, soul fusion, talent fusion. The fusion allows failure. When the movements are completely the same, the fusion will succeed. Ten minutes after the fusion, the fusion state will end. The skill cooldown is ten minutes. The fusion state can become permanently fixed by using the ‘Forever Potion’.
After defining this Fusion skill, Roy felt that it was a little inaccurate, so when he was preparing to create the skill, he specially instructed the system, “System, extract my memories of Fusion and perfect it!”
The system responded and immediately began to consume high-quality souls crazily. In less than three seconds, a system prompt came. “The number of souls is not enough, and the skill can not be completed. Current progress is only 3%. Do you want to continue?”
Roy was shocked. What’s going on? How can a hundred high-quality souls only complete 3%? This way, it’ll cost me 3,300 high-quality souls, which means 330,000 ordinary souls?
“Why is it so expensive?!” Roy asked in surprise.
“According to the host’s memory, after the fusion is successful, the power increase is between two to ten times, so the consumption is higher.”
Hearing the system’s answer, Roy was stunned. The increase in power can reach so high?! I thought that it would double at most!
It was undeniable that Roy was excited now. It was definitely worth it to create this skill!
If Roy used the one million souls that Fury had given him to exchange for Magic Power Potions to increase his magic power, then it would probably only increase his magic power by tens of thousands. Moreover, this growth had nothing to do with the three attributes, strength, speed, and activity. Roy would have to use more souls to increase these three attributes.
But it was completely different if he was willing to pay an enormous price to create this Fusion skill.
This was like speculating in stock futures. If you simply invested money to speculate, although the risk was not high, the returns were low. On the contrary, if you dared to take the risk of using leverage, you would either lose your life or make enough for a lifetime!
Clearly, this Fusion skill was like ‘leverage’ to Roy! Although he would have to invest a lot, the returns were also generous.
“Okay, don’t worry. Think carefully!” Roy forced himself to calm down and began to calculate.
After he created the Fusion skill, it would exist forever. In other words, he could also use it again. However, if he calculated according to the highest ten times, once Roy successfully fused this time, then the next he wanted to fuse, he would have to invest more in creating clones of similar strength.
This time, he spent more than two hundred thousand souls to make his clone’s attributes relatively close to his. But the next time he created a similar clone, how many souls would he need to invest?
Roy’s current magic power was 5,600. Ten times more would be 56,000. It would cost at least two million souls to feed his clone to this extent with Magic Power Potions.
At the mention of souls, Roy felt pain. The benefits of Fusion were obvious, but the increase in cost was also obvious…
Forget it. Let’s improve first. At worst, I’ll slowly accumulate more souls in the future! Roy gritted his teeth, took out the Horadric Cube, and continued to transmute high-quality souls. He also instructed the system to fix the increase of Fusion to ten times.
This request made the consumption of souls increase again, but Roy no longer cared about it. He had already given 330,000 souls, so why would he care about adding tens of thousands more?
More than half of a million souls disappeared very quickly. After transmuting enough souls, Roy had the system create the Fusion skill.
Seeing that skill finally appear in his skill column, Roy could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He turned to the attribute page of his clone and added this skill to his clone.
Fortunately, despite him not being able to change the attributes of his clone directly, he could increase his skills. This way, Roy’s main body and clone had this Fusion skill. When the time came, as long as they used it together, they would be able to activate Fusion smoothly.
Of course, the premise of using the skill was to let the clone move first! This required Roy to infuse a soul into the clone.
Logically speaking, it was best for Roy to use his soul fragment to infuse into his clone. But after thinking about the drawbacks of soul fragments, Roy decided not to split his soul. It was the case even if the soul fragment could immediately fuse back through the Fusion skill after splitting.
Moreover, this was only an experiment, so Roy took out the soul of Angel Uriel that he had obtained before!
In terms of strength, Uriel and Roy were the closest, and Uriel’s was even slightly higher. This meant that Uriel’s soul size was very similar to Roy’s.
Originally, there was a problem here. Uriel’s soul was an angel’s holy soul, but the clone’s body was a demon’s body. The compatibility between the two was definitely very poor!
However, poor compatibility did not mean that the soul could not drive the body. Uriel’s soul had been in Roy’s hands for three years now. During these three years, Roy had been following Julia’s instructions and using his dark power to corrode this soul. This was the transformation process of a fallen angel. Now, this holy soul had more or less been corroded and had already become the soul of a fallen angel. But because Roy could not create a fallen angel’s body before, the soul could only remain like this.
Moreover, to create fallen angels, it was usually necessary to erase the memories and consciousness in their souls and make them blank. It was the same for Uriel’s soul. Roy planned to put this soul into the demon body of his clone. Such a fallen angel soul might still not match the bodies perfectly, but they already had very high compatibility. But before this, Roy added an attribute to this soul for insurance-Absolute Obedience. This way, even if the soul obtained a body, it would still follow his orders unconditionally.
This was actually the process of Lilith creating the nephilim. But to avoid the risk of failure, Roy replaced the angel soul and bloodline with the demon body and fallen angel soul. The failure rate of this method should be relatively low.
This was why Roy had set the Fusion skill to end after ten minutes if the fusion failed. With this setting, Roy could continue experimenting until the fusion succeeded!
Hmph, Lilith, that crazy bitch. Does she think that I really wouldn’t be able to figure out this kind of fusion without her?
Holding Uriel’s soul, Roy pressed it against his clone’s chest. With a flash of light, the soul immediately entered the clone’s body.
Due to the clone not having a soul, this infusion process was very easy. The next second, the clone’s body began to tremble.
The clone’s face showed a very painful look, and his entire body was convulsing. Roy knew that he was fusing, but he still could not help but worry.
The reason why he chose to feed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to his clone was because of the nature of Uriel’s power. When he fought with Uriel, the golden lightning left a deep impression on Roy. This meant that Uriel had a certain lightning-attribute ability, so the clone also had the ability of lightning and could better fit with Uriel’s soul… But whether or not it really succeeded depended on luck.
If it failed, the soul would be forced out of his clone’s body, but he did not need to worry about damage. However, at that time, Roy would have to think of a way to find a demon soul to match it…
As time passed, what Roy was worried about did not happen, and the trembling and convulsing of his clone seemed to be gradually weakening. This was good news for Roy! Sure enough, about thirty minutes later, under Roy’s surprised gaze, the clone slowly opened his eyes, and his demon pupils gradually became lively…
