[ Infinite Extraction Complete!! All impurities have been absorbed from the target object ] [ Upgraded Stella Protection (Minor Edition) ] [ Grade: 7 ] [ Function: A bullet proof vest made with a mixture of nanotechnology, with no impurities within its materials, hence increasing its effectiveness by varying degrees. Can be worn over anything, while bestowing +160 to Defense ] 'Now we're speaking, that's some enhanced defense right there.' Snickered the duplicate. With their natural defense (STR stat) and vitality, only damage over 200 points would be considered threatening to them. 'But... the problem remsins; the spreading disease, or whatever it is. If my guess is right, it spread through breathing or long exposure towards it. Then we'll need masks, gloves and even hats.' It assessed, going through more of the room. Meanwhile, everyone else were done changing clothes. They wore black oeathery boots, with a metallic sheen underneath, gray military gear with white vests within,
The lieutenant commander said, and number two nodded, looking at Jason, who immediately responded. "Nah, ride with her instead." He said, pointing at Beatrice. 'I can trust you to protect her, but not any other bastard around here.' 「As you wish」 Replied Number two, picking up Beatrice to help her climb the tall war horse. Meanwhile, Joe also added, "I can ride a horse, so this won't probably be hard for me." He said, in which case, the lieutenant commander nodded in agreement. Jason surveyed the remaining novaks, and pointed at one whose armor was a bit damaged up. "Hey, you bastard, I'll entrust my little brothers here to you." He said forcefully. The Novak in question instinctively flinched back at his words, seemingly frightened by him. But how could it not, when Jason had just attacked it not a long time ago, scarring its soul. 「...」 It once more did not respond to his words, but nodded instead. 'Good. This way, if he believe Roy is my brother, he'll probably treat the boy
A different notification appeared before the duplicate, black in color. It wasn't the first time the duplicate saw this notification, as they appeared when the other duplicate created undeads during its killing spree. According to the Doomsday Admirator, this was a power system of death, made by the death gods of the Universe, for their believers, the necromancers and black mages. 'Funny how death gods care more about their believers than other gods.' Snickered the duplicate, remembering how one of Jason's friend, had once told him about Hades. A death god who was the only one amongst its siblings, with a hint of morality. A funny contradiction, if one may say. "
"As expected, my Bloodlines surpass that of a goddess. Or maybe, her Bloodline has deteriorate throughout the ages... who knows?" It thought, feeling its vision turn blurry. 'I won't make it till he comes out. Six minutes is a lot of time. Time that I don't have.' It thus duplicated itself as a solution, "I'll leave this one to you. As for me, I'll be letting the main body know about everything that occurred around here this time." It said, deactivating itself. From now on, it will no longer be the main duplicate made by Jason. It's short life ends here, as from being made bait to attract Daemon so that the others can escape, it ended up protecting Timicus, teleporting outside, seeing the hoarde of monsters and zombies, going on a killing spree, and experiencing this rising epidemic first hand. 'I've been through a lot, in just a couple of hours. Who can believe that?' Were its last words, as it disappear and returned to its origin, back to Jason himself. "...There's no rest for t
"Oh? Though low leveled, that's quite a pretty Talent... It's so beautiful I'm almost craving it." Thought the duplicate, then it added towards Timicus. "Let's move. We must escape this hell hole fast." And began running. Timicus wanted to ask more questions, but still felt it almost impossible to open his mouth regardless of what. 'I... I just have to follow his instructions without a say.' He thought with a sigh. Meanwhile, the duplicate continued with its appraisal. 'His Vitality is straight at zero points, meaning he has no life force, but his intelligence was only decreased to 5 points. Is that because of being a high undead?' It thought. 'Also, it seems my talent is in safe hands with this guy. It did not fuse with him or whatever, but was instead transferred. Now that's nice, I got "Power Bestowal" in my grasp?' The duplicate joked, and the two rushed after Jason and the novak. The two of them rushed forward at full speed, and throughout the chase, the duplicate had to admi
[ Brahma's Mind Eye (LEVEL S) :- The ability to see through tricks and lies of entities below your strength, and to detect information of Talents, Abilities or Traits below Level S.

Especially so, as it was also self-managed by one of his subconsciousness.

And now, I wonder what might have caused it to react like this.' He thought, viewing
"Jason, what's the matter?" Joe rode his own mechanical war horse forward with expertise, as he inquired with a frown on his face. He had no hint of doubt at Jason's words at all, but right now, he wished he did. "Look man, there are thousands upon thousands of monsters rushing over towards our direction as we speak." Jason responded with a frown of his own, "And there's a dead end ahead, hence I think we are trapped or something." He added. "I see... Do you think the creatures are smart enough to anticipat our moves beforehand, and planned everything out?" Joe nodded at Jason's words, and then queried for his thoughts on the whole matter. Yet the one to respond to his inquiry was not Jason, but number two, who rode their horse towards the two of them. 「The creatures of this Apocalypse are not that intelligent. They have purposes, true, but none of those purposes should allow them to be this intelligent at all. At least... under normal circumstances」 They said, their words carryi
Number two added, and Jason urged as he realized that the monsters and zombies were inching closer and closer to them. "Yeah yeah, we get it. So how does that explain the fact that it's their fault we are stuck here?" He asked in a rushed tone. 「Simple. There's a single passage that leads to the sanctuary in each cardinal direction, only known by the lieutenant commanders. Not even the monsters would know of it, hence it would be understandable to claim that they were destroyed from the inside, instead of the outside. An orchestrated plan of sorts」 The lieutenant commander responded, finally accepting the words of number two. Jason hurriedly nodded and summarized the situation. "So the higher up novaks planned a conspiracy since years ago, blowing up the passage and throwing away eight hundred thousand novaks as bait, to the Apocalypse all just for their goals hidden away from the public." "While their main purpose is what? We don't know, and I bet we won't know if we keep standing
He snapped his fingers, and above his palms, a white crystal appeared. Pure white, and radiant in nature, it dwarfed any normal jewel or crystal the two have ever seen within their life. "This is..." Anabella exclaimed, as she felt her blood boil at the appearance of the crystal, with her breathe slowly hastening. 'What... What's going on with my body..?!?!' She panicked. "Calm down. This is a shard of divinity, exactly what you're looking for to exceed your current Rank and mortality." Jason saw through her sudden excitement and panic, as he decided to calm her down, then went back to appraising the shard of divinity closely. [ Shard of Divinity ] [ Rank :- 20 (Deity-Low) ] [ Function :- A rare graded treasure, that is obtained from Higher Worlds or from Planes above worlds, or from divine beings killed. It can be used with, and within anything, having high Affinity with almost all things within the Universe. The higher its rank, the higher the Affinity with Existence. Can act a
A question that was not much of a question at all. It felt like a command. And hearing that she would grow even stronger, Anabella felt dread invade her nerves. Just ranking up three times gave her a sense of great power, let alone when she went as far as to Rank up six times!! She dreaded the idea, but went forth with it nonetheless. "Uh, ye–yes, right away." Anabella, though even more confused and frightful, still did as ordered, and ranked herself up again. And this time, it was the first time she went through six Ranks at the same time. No, nine ranks, including the prior three ranks from Rank 9 to Rank 12. The changes to her mentality? Were great. [ TING~ ] [ You have spent 101,250 units of Energy Essence to promote yourself towards the next three ranks ] [ An achievement made!! Congratulations for being one of the top 100 humans to reach Rank 18 first –all your stats have increased by ten points each ] "Oh?" Anabella paused in shock, letting out a light exclaim at the
The true clone was having a conversation with Felix, trying to learn more about the opponents it had to take out before facing the big boss, Fein the demonic deity himself. And the conversation was just beginning to take place, when a sea of notifications made an entrance, detailing an inclusion of a high element into the conversion process. Just like how the creation of the demonic undeads had the inclusion of Constell, or rather now known as Daemon, the corrupted greater god of constellations and destiny's bloodline, made them a demonic variant of undeads. This time, the inclusion was a fragment of divinity. The true clone briefly glanced through the notifications, and the choices the Jason, within the "Temple of Stars", had chosen t
But what would the death gods do even if Jason swore onto their name and divinity? Nothing, and he knew that too. They had no access to his destination, and they all knew their incarnations would be easily destroyed when sent down. Hence they could only swallow up their pride, pretend they heard nothing of such, and respond to his genuine concern. And sure thing, a response quickly came. The same introduction as always appeared before it, and the true clone smiled, continuing to read through more red tinted notifications that flashed by. The true clone paused, and briefed through the notifications once again. It went through t
[ TING~ ] [ 25% of the obtained units of energy essence have been transfered to your party members, and is shared equally amongst them ] [ TING~ ] [ 25% of the obtained units of energy essence have been transfered to your demonic undeads, and is shared equally amongst them ] 50% of its energy essence... gone!! The true clone reread through the notifications that suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but sigh. 'I forgot about these guys, and their presence. Well... honestly, this alone is still enough to last me far longer than I can presume.' It thought to itself. Fifteen million units of energy essence was still a lot to have. Even when including the fact that Jason required seven times more energy essence than others to Rank himself up. It was still enough. 'I bet this is enough to take me all the way towards the rank of semi-higher beings, or the likes. Maybe even beyond that level.' It thought, a smiling etching itself on its face. And taking into consideration the fact th
From his deduction, the Cypressian Lord would not survive for the next coming ten seconds. By then, it would truly be dead, regardless of how much of a struggle it puts on. "What can I say? I'm just every false god's living nightmare." The true clone responded with pride, sighing in relief as it's bet and calculation took place perfectly as calculated. After all, taking down eighty million points of Vitality was not something easy to do. Not even for itself. Next time, [Fenrir's Rage] would be excluded, since the raging special effect was not of much use to it. 'If it wasn't for the "Black Gloves" and the fifth grade blessing of the [White Shadow Blessing], I would have long pulled back without any sort of hesitation at all.' It expressed, now waiting to reap the benefits of killing the Cypressian Lord. It then went through its plan again, and how risky it would have been if it failed. But first, it checked the wondrous definition of the fifth stage of the [White Shodow Blessing].
"Fucking go back." The true clone uttered, throwing down yet another Dual Lance towards the Cypressian Lord that had secretly escaped the hands of death. It's intention clear, as it wanted the Cypressian Lord back into the folds of death, and the [Undead Monarch] Trait also cried out in defiance when it felt parts of its authority being rejected right before it. 'Perish.' The true clone thought, as the Dual Lance tore through the skies like a white flash of lightning, entering through one portal-way, and out another. And like the judgement of the gods repeating their punishment once more, the Dual Lance struck the same place, and snuffed out the life force of the Cypressian Lord, not even giving it the chance to let out a cry of pain. "..." Yet nobody celebrated. "It... has yet to die." Felix added once more, now understanding why Fate had warned him not to go against his brother, without sufficient preparations to die. 'Fein, oh Fein, you seem to be determined to fight against
"...Like a war king, my brother has his defense unit, offense unit, as well as support unit. Oh, the artifact you destroyed not too long was supposed to have been the scouting unit. Fortunately, it was not yet a half-divine ranked artifact, and was not blessed." Felix carefully divulged, information that would be considered 'snitching', as he was throwing his own brother under the bus. And without remorse, added more with a straight face. "...And to add, each one is actually more of a greater threat than the other. Personally, I believe this one is the easiest to deal with as long as–" He continued, looking straight at the true clone, and how it visibly got more and more annoyed at his attempts. Until finally, when a smile crept up on his face as if he knew he was annoying it. The true clone finally snapped, and gave him the attentions he needed, "Shut up for a minute. I promise I'll get back to you in a minute, you damned bastard." It said, bathed in anger and annoyance. "Okay."
[Undead Monarch] was only for just in case an error took place, and it would die. This Trait gave it power over death, temporarily giving it Undead properties such as being undying, as long as it's subjects still existed – the demonic undead trio in this case. Each one acted as a soul courier, whereby if they exist, it exists. [Dawn of The Trimurti] also gave it amazing boosts of strength, secretly increasing each stat by 4,000 points. A hidden effect not included within its long description, and something that the true clone did not mind. Plus, it also had plans for [The Creator – Brahma's Mind Eye], which allowed it to be able to create anything of its level once a weak. 'Didn't think I'd be wasting this chance here, but I don't mind. I'll just create something that can kill someone, regardless of it's reviving powers. Hence, I can eliminate this guy with just one shot.' It thought, not sure if such an effect was at its level or beyond it. Nonetheless, it had to work. [Son of Me
