Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 385 The Abilities of the Clone

After splitting out the soul fragment, Roy waited for a while as the Red Sea Egg created his clone.

The bud of the Red Sea Egg ejected out a translucent embryo covered in a slimy liquid. He went forward to tear the membrane of the embryo and could not help but frown when he saw his clone.

It was really… too ugly!

Unlike the first clone he created, this clone looked very different from him.

The wings on this clone’s back were not normal demon wings but three pairs of thin cicada wings. In addition to the transparent parts on them, there were also some strange black patterns. The clone’s eyes were big and bulged out. Looking carefully, he could even see the tiny lattices on them, which was the structure of the compound eyes. And two sharp pincer-like parts pierced out from the mouth.

The pair of thick demon horns on the head was no different from Roy’s, but the upper limbs were insect limbs. The two palms on his left and right had become serrated blade arms with many bristles on them, and there was a long demon tail. The clone was about three meters tall and looked a little hunched. It looked like a monster that had combined a fly and a praying mantis.

“I…” Roy wanted to curse but held back as he said with a gloomy face, “This thing is my clone?!”

Benia did not find it strange. “It seems like Beelzebub’s shell affected it, so it has the characteristics of an insect-type demon. The bloodline of the demon king seems more aggressive and stronger than yours.”

That’s right. It seemed that during the process of merging inside the Red Sea Egg, not only did it absorb the magic power of the shell, but it also absorbed a portion of the bloodline genes the shell carried. During the merge, Beezlebub’s bloodline naturally affected the clone, so it displayed the characteristics of an insect-type demon on the outside. This was simply unavoidable.

Although the clone was truly ugly, he was indeed full of powerful magic power. From the aura the clone exuded, he was definitely lord-level magic power pressure. In other words, what the Red Sea Egg created this time was a successful fusion.

Roy was a little conflicted. The thought of fusing with such an ugly clone made him feel bad.

In fact, from another perspective, judging from the aesthetics of demons, his clone was actually quite domineering. His appearance was ferocious, terrifying, and full of intimidation. He was the ‘idol-level’ appearance that many demons dreamed of. To be frank, if this clone were anywhere else in the Abyss, he might attract countless female demons to lick him…

But the problem was that it was the aesthetics of ordinary demons, not Roy’s. Roy was an abnormal demon, so he found it really hard to accept…

He sighed and pressed the soul fragment into the clone’s body. Regardless of whether the clone was ugly or not, he had to see what abilities this clone had first.

Moreover, Roy could not abandon the magic power in this body. If it could not work, he could only adjust the appearance through the system.

Roy infused his soul fragment into the clone. Soon, the clone’s body began to tremble slightly, and after a while, the clone finally could move and stood up.

At the same time, an additional scene suddenly appeared in his vision. How should he put it? It was a super clear… full-length view of his body, and the viewing angle came from the clone opposite him!

In other words, he could actually see what his clone was seeing… This scene came from the compound eyes of his clone. Roy found that this observation method had an extremely sensitive dynamic capture effect, and the compound eyes would receive feedback of any minute changes in his movements. To a certain extent, he could even predict subsequent actions.

After realizing this, he was quite surprised. Although the compound eye structure was a little ugly, it had its unique characteristics. Most importantly, Roy’s main body could choose whether to accept this additional scene from his clone’s perspective, and he could use it as he wished. When he wanted to see, he could see. When he wanted to turn it off, he could turn it off. This made it much more convenient for hmm.

Hmm… In other words, there was actually some connection between the clone and the main body. The reason might be related to the soul fragment. Since it was like this for him, then the others who used clones should also be like this.

Roy thought back to when he was in the Van Helsing world. Gabriel might have come so quickly because of his connection with his clone. Soon after he killed Van Helsing, he came…

Putting aside the other thoughts in his mind, Roy looked at the clone and found that he stood up and tried to move his body before standing there foolishly. Roy could feel his connection with the clone, but he could not control him to move, so he could only let him stand there foolishly. “What’s going on?” Roy was a little confused. “Why does he look like an idiot?”

“That’s natural!” Benia said. “He only received a small fragment of your soul. His soul is incomplete, so it’s impossible for his intelligence to be high.”

Roy understood and asked, “In that case, his intelligence should be able to improve slowly, right?”

“Yes, he can improve it, but the premise is that you let him move freely!” Benia said. “After leaving the main body, the clone will generally follow his instincts and begin moving. He will hunt because he feels hungry, kill because he feels irritable, and find a mating partner because of his desire. In short, he will gradually gain intelligence in the following events and slowly obtain self-awareness.”

“There should be a way to generate intelligence and consciousness directly, right?” Roy said. “Just give more when splitting out a soul fragment.”

“Yes, the size of the soul fragment determines how much intelligence and consciousness you bestow!” Benia said. “If you can give him half of your soul directly, he will be no different from your main body when he wakes up. Be it in terms of thinking or actions, he will be exactly the same as your main body.”

Roy nodded and did not dwell on this problem any longer. The feeling of splitting out a soul fragment was not pleasant, so he had not intended to give much. It was just enough to drive this clone.

Although he could not communicate with the clone because of his intelligence, just as Benia said, the clone still had the corresponding instincts. As long as he received external stimulation, he could respond accordingly. In order to test the abilities of this clone, Roy attacked the clone under Benia’s suggestion.

Then a shocking scene happened. When Roy slashed Frostmourne at the clone, the clone did not move at first. But the moment the blade was about to touch his body, he turned into countless insects with a buzz!

They were truly countless. They were so densely packed that it was hard to count. Every one of them was a small insect with thin wings identical to the clone, but they were much smaller.

Each of these small clones was only a few centimeters or so, about the size of a real fly. The moment Roy’s sword slashed down, the clones turned into a dark cloud of insects and scattered, making the attack miss.

Then these small clones flew to the back and gathered again, forming the three-meter-tall clone.

Seeing this scene, Roy did not know why, but a phrase suddenly popped into his mind: swarm of flies…

“Awesome!” Benia could not help but exclaim in excitement when she saw this scene. “Darling, it seems like this clone of yours really inherited some of Beelzebub’s abilities, in addition to the magic power! This way of dispersing and gathering must be one of Beelzebub’s abilities!”

Roy was inclined to agree with Benia’s words. After all, Roy did not set any settings when the Red Sea Egg created the clone, so the ability the clone displayed just now definitely had its source.

What else could this source be? Naturally, it was Beelzebub’s shed shell…
