Obviously, there was a reason why demons were keen on creating their clones.
In order to meet the increasing demand for magic power growth, demons needed to devour more souls. Although the Abyss could connect to the Infinite Worlds, demons could only enter one world at a time if they used their main bodies. Even if they tried their best to fish for souls, they might not be able to fish for many at a time. The hatred and wariness of the various races of the Infinite Worlds toward demons, the obstruction of angels, the competition of the same race, and so on greatly reduced the plans of demons to devour souls.
It was precisely because of this situation that demons thought of using clones to help their main bodies plunder souls. The more clones they had, the more worlds they could go to at the same time. This was a way to cast a wide net. Even if they did not have many harvests in a few worlds, they could make up for it with more in other worlds. In addition, clones could also grow, and this was a good way to increase their combat strength, so it was not difficult to understand why demons liked to use clones.
However, Roy also realized that while there were benefits to clones, there were also many disadvantages!
Firstly, in order to create a doppelganger, one had to split a part of one's soul. The soul was the driving force of all living beings. The stronger the soul, the more power the body could bear. Therefore, one had to pay attention to the fragments of one's soul.
If the soul fragment was small, then the power that the clone could exert would naturally be small, and it would be easy for enemies to kill and destroy the soul fragment. Roy had picked up a bargain in the Van Helsing world. The Van Helsing of that world was a clone created from a very small soul fragment of Gabriel. After seizing the opportunity, even Roy, who was still a low-rank demon at that time, could easily kill this clone.
In other words, if the soul fragment was too weak, then such a clone would actually be a burden.
But … what if he gave out more soul fragments? For example, what would happen if he gave out half?
When he thought of this problem, Roy could not help but become vigilant. He had been bombarded by all kinds of imaginative movies and novels, so the first thing he thought of when splitting into two clones was not that his strength would become double, but that … it would cause the problem of blurring the primary and secondary!
After splitting half of his soul, which of the two bodies was the main body and which was the clone? Since both of them shared the same consciousness, how could they clarify this issue?
Wasn't this how it was written in many movies and novels? The clone was no longer satisfied with its identity as a clone. Instead, it replaced the original owner, inheriting the social status, family, wife, children, flowers, and so on. Then, in order to take back everything that belonged to it, the original owner had to fight with itself.
In these movies, everyone would definitely be happy in the end, but that was just what the people who made up the story wrote. If it were the demons themselves, it might not necessarily be the case. After releasing the avatar, if the growth speed of the avatar surpassed that of the main body, and the soul grew to the point where it crushed the main body, then it would really be the reverse of the primary and secondary.
With this association, Roy realized a very strange phenomenon.
Look, during this period of time, why are the demon king-level existences I've encountered, such as Samuel, Lilith, and seraphs like Gabriel and Raphael, all clones?
These famous demon kings and seraphim seemed to have legends about them in many worlds, proving that they had once appeared in these worlds. According to Roy's thoughts, those were probably clones.
But … just like what I mentioned just now, what about their true bodies?
In the Abyss, there had always been rumors about the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings. It was said that they had not appeared for a long time. In the past, Roy had always felt that it might be because the places where the Deadly Sin Demon Kings lived were too deep, so ordinary demons could not see them at all. However, when Roy suddenly thought of the situation regarding the clones, he suddenly realized that things might not be so simple!
Even if he could not imagine how powerful the Deadly Sin Demon King level was, even for them, if they wanted to create a demon king-level clone, they would probably have to split out more soul fragments, right?
This way, it would be fine if there were fewer clones, but if there were more … Even if it was the Deadly Sin Demon Kings, could they split them?
A flash of light flashed in Roy's mind, and his eyes could not help but widen. Could it be … could it be that the disappearance of the Deadly Sin Demon Kings is because they have too many clones and are unwilling to reassemble?!
Demons were originally an ambitious race, and the demon kings created by the clones might have inherited this personality. Therefore, the clones did not want to disappear but wanted to snatch the other clones and make them the main body …
Roy was shocked by his own imagination. Although he usually had a big imagination, he was still shocked by what he thought of this time!
If this guess is true, doesn't it mean …
Stop, stop! Roy quickly stopped his thoughts from drifting further and further away and returned to the situation at hand.
But after thinking about it, Roy made a decision. It was best not to create clones for the time being before he completely understood them.
Although he thought a lot, in fact, it was only a few seconds of thoughts in Roy's mind. Roy estimated that the Red Sea Egg had accidentally created this clone. In terms of magic power level, it was at most at the level of a middle-rank demon, barely a little higher than cannon fodder. If he split out a soul fragment to drive him, he would have to take care of him at all times. It would be very troublesome if he was killed by the enemy.
Therefore, Roy did not intend to let him move and planned to take him away first.
"Raphael's clone …" Roy looked at the Red Sea Egg and remembered the scene of Raphael cutting it into two, and his expression could not help but turn gloomy.
Now that Raphael had left, Roy could take away the Red Sea Egg without any obstruction. However, Roy was also a ruthless person … or rather, a ruthless demon! When Xeron forcibly enslaved him, Roy had thought of ways to find an opportunity to take revenge, let alone almost being killed by Raphael this time. He had to take revenge!
To put it bluntly, since he had become a demon, he had to be ruthless! Without this awareness, how could he survive in the Abyss? Wasn't the reason why he desperately pursued power so that he could ensure his own survival in the face of such a situation?
Roy was not Raphael's match now, but it did not mean that he would not be in the future. Moreover, it did not mean that Roy did not have the ability to take revenge now!
Roy opened the system space and took out all the remaining tactical nuclear bombs he had plundered.
In fact, during the three years of waiting, Roy had been trying to search for the remaining nuclear bombs left by humans from other places, but the results of the search were not ideal. Now, he only had fifteen tactical nuclear bombs in total, and most of them had a yield of about three thousand tons. However, there was also a special tactical nuclear bomb with a yield of eight thousand tons, which was his greatest harvest in the past three years.
After stacking these tactical nuclear bombs together, Roy thought for a while and drew in the system interface.
He made an iron box the size of a shipping container and placed all these nuclear bombs inside. He also set this iron box as a 'sensor'. Once it sensed that a creature was approaching within ten meters of the iron box, it would immediately detonate all the nuclear bombs inside!
Yes, Roy had already guessed that Raphael's appearance might be because he had touched the Red Sea Egg. If he took the Red Sea Egg away, Raphael might come back to check. At that time, the fifteen nuclear bombs in this container would be Roy's parting gift to him!
Even if he could not kill Raphael, Roy would skin him alive!
With this thought in mind, Roy threw his clone back into the system space. Because the clone had already been recognized by the system and was not a living creature, it could be stored in the space. But the Red Sea Egg could not, and Roy could only bring it out through Teleport.
Back then, in order to teleport with objects, Roy had specially modified the definition of the Teleport skill, which cost him a lot of souls to achieve. Roy was only a frost demon and did not know how to use this spatial magic. Other than using the system to generate it, he had no other way.
If Roy could grasp spatial abilities, it would be another matter. A pure elemental demon did not have a high upper limit, which was why Roy wanted to borrow the power of the nephilim.
Of course, it was just borrowing, and it did not mean that Roy wanted to turn himself into a nephilim. The nephilim were a race cursed by both angels and demons, and their situation was not good. Moreover, Roy was quite satisfied with his demon identity and did not intend to change it. His current goal was only to obtain stronger abilities and strength.
After placing the container in place and confirming it, Roy came to the Red Sea Egg. The egg had taken root again, but it was not deep. Roy pulled hard and quickly pulled it out.
This time, Roy did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately grabbed the Red Sea Egg and activated Teleport.
Swoosh! A ray of light soared into the sky, and the next second, Roy and the Red Sea Egg disappeared …
