Chapter 62 Vs Clone, Defeat
The Pod has the enviable ability of replicating everything about the user and even their surroundings, down to thest detail into the digital world, and this is the reason why Ss chose it as an alternative training ground for his training session.
In addition to that function, the Pod''s training tform for its user, Domain, is the most terrifying with its ability to create everything and anything the user thinks of.
Thanks to these two reasons, Ss was able to create a clone of himself, with all his knowledge and abilities.
They say that for a fighter, there''s nothing worse than fighting an unrestrained version of yourself, at its peak condition.
Back to the present, Ss was still shuttling miles through the air after he was sent flying by a punch to his face.
Ss'' body smashed through multiplerge diamond rocks before he finally stopped flying as his body smashed a hole into a diamond mountain and was embedded in it.
"What in the actual fuck?! That was just a punch!" Ss shouted in shock and rage, as he pulled his body out of the mountain.
He looked towards his clone, and saw it blitzing towards him like aunched projectile.
Seeing this, Ss tightened his feet into the mountain, andunched his body towards the clone, using the mountain as aunchpad, and more than half of the mountain came crumbling down as a result.
Ss and the clone met each other in the air with a punch, and a loud booming sound resonated from the impact of the punches, and the two of them were sent flying in different directions.
Ssnded on the floor and just as he was about to regain his bearing, when he saw an unknown object closing in on his vision.
He made an attempt to dodge the unknown object and was sessful, but he couldn''t celebrate as another unknown object hit him right in the face and sent him spinning into the air, yet again.
Ss managed to stop himself from spinning but was unable to catch his breath, as he saw the clone closing in on him, with two swords made of earth, in each hand.
"Shit! How the fuck is it able to do that?!," Ss screamed in shock when he saw the earthen swords in the clone''s hands.
"Ohh.. I can do that too," Ss said with a smile, aftering to a realization and started free-falling to the ground.
The clone seeing Ss free-falling towards it,unched itself into the air and shed at Ss'' head.
Ss, seeing this, was calm. He gently controlled the air current around him and formed two small whirlwinds, concentrated around his hands, and met the earth swords head-on with a full-powered punch.
A massive collision sound originated from the impact of the two attacks. The whirlwinds around Ss'' hands acting as a guard and an attack amplifier, lost their form and dispersed, and the earthen swords shattered.
The two of them were yet again sent flying in different directions and smashed into the ground, creating a massive hole and dust clouds.
Ss quickly picked himself out of the hole and blitzed towards the clone''s position.
His vision wasn''t affected by the dust cloud at all, as he could see the clone creating a human-tall earth shield with spikes on its surface.
Seeing this, Ss also controlled the earth around him and created arge earthen longsword.
Immediately, he appeared in front of the shield and shed across it, with all his strength.
Ss didn''t n to hold back but instead, he intends to crush this fake version of himself who sent him flying with a punch.
Yes, he''s pissed.
Unfortunately for him, the shield proved to be sturdy as all he could achieve was leaving a light scratch on it.
Ss didn''t have the chance to prepare another attack as he felt an impact on his chest, and was sent flying backward, yet again.
At this point, Ss waspletely pissed and thest of the restraint that was holding him back finally broke.
"Are you fucking kidding me?! I''m being yed by a damn clone! My own clone!"
Before he couldnd and his feet could touch the ground, Ss disappeared from the spot, leaving shes of afterimages behind.
The next moment, he appeared beside the clone and punched its face with his fist coated with solidified earth.
The attack unfortunately, didn''t connect as the clone caught Ss'' hand and threw him forward, before immediately dragging him back and mercilessly smashed him into the ground.
Ss'' anger at this point had deted as his smashed bodyy sprawled in the hole.
Ss didn''t know whether he should cry at how badly he was beaten or be happy at how strong he actually is.
Yes, he was the one who wanted to train himself by fighting a clone in nightmare mode, but he didn''t expect to receive such a whopping.
"This is enough for today," Ss said and logged out.
Immediately, he found himself awake and the Pod''s ss opened, allowing him to exit its interior.
Ss stepped out of the Pod andy down tiredly on the bed. He wasn''t actually tired but the beating he received left him feeling defeated and very moody, but it wasn''t permanent as his mood improved the next moment when he thought of how strong he''s be.
"That was really intense," Ss said, as he let out a long sigh and smiled.
Putting aside the beating he received, Ss was very happy and satisfied with the results he achieved.
He now have the strength that easily allows him to pulverize a concrete pir. His speed measuring 510 mph, almost as fast asmercial nes, if not faster.
His abnormal stamina, something that left him stumped since he woke up after the ind incident.
After Ss did the 85 miles sprint, he felt that he could still go a couple moreps, but this was only his thought.
Ss'' charisma attribute with 1000 points has made him into the most handsome male on the, or should he say beautiful. He literally went from an ogre to a EX rank super model.
Ss didn''t have any words for his intelligence that allows him terrifying mental abilities and control over matter.
The intense training fight with the clone, even though it was a one-sided beating for him, proved that he was extremely strong and he was still hiding more, especially thest attack he made.
The attack made Ss understand that he could still go beyond his current speed but that''s something he would have to confirmter.
With this, Ss knew that he wasn''t actually nerfed but instead, just like the system said, his body has hit its limit.
While he was thinking of his rapid increase in strength, his thoughts also drifted to something else; his superpowers.
Ss was actually able to see to an extent just how terrifying the [Matter Maniption] is.
The ability that allows him to control any form of matter and shape it into whatever he wants is insane!
Ss felt he hase a long way from someone who couldn''t even control a tennis ball of water to someone who can shape the earth into whatever he wants, even though it''s still F Rank. N?v(el)B\\jnn
Due to the limitations of his rank, Ss is only able to freely control and shape the original states of matter into whatever structure he wants, but it''s still not perfect.
Ss noticed that when he created the earthen longsword, he felt how weak its structure. Even though the longsword appeared very terrifying, Ss felt that all he needed was a flick of his finger to shatter it to dust.
After a careful analysis, Ss knew that there''s still more work to be done.
Herees the confusing part that Ss still can''t understand. Is the superpower, [Regeneration] just as straightforward as its name?
If yes, then why does he feel that there''s something more to it.
After a while of thinking, Ss decided not to burn anymore of his brain cells. He felt that the mystery behind everything would unravel itself soon.
"Since, I don''t have to worry about my strength for a very long time, then I can focus on my business ns and for that, I will need system points," Ss said as he thought to himself.
"I haven''t been able to extensively explore the system store. Something I should start doing as soon as possible."
