Hunting the ghost Simon was something that he had been doing for a long time.
After nearly ten years of secret investigation, the only participants were the clone that had nothing to do with the Alliance of Justice and Justice and Haley.
The calm finally paralyzed Simon, and his movements gradually returned to normal. Only then did he find the pattern of his main body's movements.
Before today, Luke had already investigated and analyzed this weird Simon from all aspects, and had done enough psychological profiling.
Then, he had relied on psychological profiling to figure out the pattern of Simon's movements, as well as his real trump card — his main body.
If he only killed the part of Simon's soul that was possessed, or the part of the soul that the main body left behind, he would only be seriously injured, but there was still a chance that he could escape.
When that happened, Simon would definitely hide and slowly recover his damaged soul.
Thus, he could either destroy Simon's main body and the possessor at the same time, or take action while his soul returned to his main body in three days.
Luke chose the second option, because he only had one little witch.
First of all, she could sense the possessor's abnormal soul within a range of five hundred meters.
Secondly, she could create an energy field to restrict Simon's soul transfer within a range of a hundred meters.
In short, the little witch that the Mind Gem lured out was the bane of the ghost Simon.
The Mind Gem and the Soul Gem should be able to do all this, but the energy fluctuations of the gems themselves might wake Simon up.
This was an extremely cautious guy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have manipulated his mother into getting married, and then helped his stepfather develop his company to make money.
His soul transfer could be done in an instant, and there was no countdown at all.
Besides, using the Infinity Gem to torture this guy was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
With such a useful tool like the little witch, Luke wasn't interested in taking out the Mind Gems and Soul Gems that had been hidden in various hidden corners of the universe.
For safety's sake, he had made it extremely troublesome to hide the two gems, and even he didn't want to go there again.
The partially learnable Soul Transfer was a huge surprise for him, because it could be fused with the Justice Star's abilities.
Although the Infinite Possession feature was greatly weakened, Luke's soul transfer targets were limited to the clones created by the Justice Star compared to the original version, where the soul could move freely.
On the other hand, as long as one of the main body's clones survived, the special characteristic of being able to continue living was preserved.
Of course, if the System used points to hit Old Mo with a "Soul Lock" type of attack, the main body and doppelganger that were not present would not be able to escape.
But Luke's soul was tightly protected by Daddy System. Although he had to pay for it, his life was more important.
Considering Luke's situation, his main body and his three clones were equivalent to four databases that shared everything.
Destroying any one of them would not result in their death.
As long as one clone was still alive, it wouldn't be difficult for the main body, which had Intermediate Self-Healing, to "grow" again.
This also meant that from the moment Luke learned to fuse soul transfer with it, the strongest and biggest "weakness" of his true self no longer existed.
Others could no longer destroy his main body to kill him in one fell swoop.
Finally, Luke's version of the soul transfer had an advantage that Simon's original version didn't have, and that was that the "sub-soul" didn't have to return to the main body regularly to "recuperate."
Because of the special nature of the Star of Justice, Luke's clone was actually a part of his body.
Thus, he didn't need to split his soul, and simply allowed it to move freely in the "limbs" that were his main body and clone.
Whichever of his main body and clone was destroyed, his soul wouldn't be as "dumb" as the original Simon's.
After a moment of joy, Luke suddenly realized something. Damn, why was the first "soul skill" that he had obtained in his life still improving his survivability?
I'm very strong now. If I improve my survivability … that would be even better. He curled his lips. Which normal person wouldn't want to be safe?
Apart from dropping the "Best Skill Book" for the soul transfer, Simon also had the ability to take away other people's abilities.
Hand blades, underwater breathing, fighting, firearms, and so on. Some of them were still of some value, and could be considered "bonuses" in the gift bag.
But this also made Luke glad that he had finally killed Simon here.
If Simon had been left alone like this, he might have become a stunted version of "Luke."
Thankfully, Simon was greatly limited in learning other people's abilities, and was far inferior to the system's.
Some abilities couldn't coexist in the body, and couldn't be learned completely. Furthermore, the learning process was very long.
It would take at least one or two years, and at most three to five years, for him to barely reach 70% to 80% of the original owner's level.
Simon was a very low-key psychopath.
When he was young, he had been hiding behind his mother and stepfather, quietly accumulating strength.
It wasn't until he mastered the ability to plunder other people's abilities after a lot of experiments at the King's Rehabilitation Hospital that he felt that his life had entered the fast lane. Only then did he shed all pretenses of cordiality with the other capitalists and caused a huge stir.
In the end, he was only high for a few days before Joker almost killed him.
Ever since then, Simon had become very careful. His targets were all 'wild' Supers that had yet to be discovered, and he rarely exposed his whereabouts.
But this also greatly reduced the efficiency and quality of his harvesting abilities.
Over the years, he had been picky, and the number of superpowers he had learned didn't even reach double digits.
Even so, Simon still imagined himself cultivating hard → mastering divine abilities → breaking out of seclusion → becoming invincible.
Unfortunately, one of the greatest tragedies in life was running into an enemy who was more powerful than you in everything.
As the old Chinese saying went, "If there was a Yu, why would there be a Liang?"
After hiding for so many years, Simon felt that he was at least several times stronger than when he had first met Joker. The next time they met, it would be for revenge.
In the end, a cheat-like version of Simon with all his stats at 140 suddenly arrived. The low-level version of Simon didn't even have a chance to fight back before he was instantly killed.
Luck was also a part of strength.
Clearly, in this aspect of strength, Simon, who had had everything going for him, had been crushed by the stronger Luke, and became a complete tragedy.
…
Walking out of the apartment building, Walter, who had been observing Big Dipper the whole time, couldn't help but ask, "You … seem very happy?"
Big Dipper nodded. "It's very important for me to get rid of that lunatic Simon."
Walter hummed in acknowledgment and continued walking.
Big Dipper, however, stopped. "So, I should give you a reward."
The little witch had done a lot to catch Simon today and obtain a top-notch skill book like "Soul Transfer."
A simple reward clearly wasn't what she wanted the most, so he decided to help her solve a big problem.
Hearing that, Walter was curious. "What reward?"
Big Dipper stared at her. "After we complete this mission, we can start our long-distance journey. But before that, I need to ask you some questions. "
Seeing his serious expression, Walter's heart couldn't help pounding.
Taking two deep breaths, she asked, "What questions?"
