Chapter 366: The Doppelgangers
As soon as Kahn created another copy of himself, the one that contained half of all of his stats and abilities; both versions of himself who shared the same consciousness put their right palm on the peak saint"s core.
Swoosh!
Another surge of mana and world energy pa.s.sed through both of them and soon, they felt the energy ama.s.sing in their respective bodies.
And since they shared the same mind, both the original and the doppelganger felt the amount they were absorbing.
He could already feel that the output they were getting by absorbing so much energy inside the core would be 1.5 times more than all his previous attempts.
30 minutes later, the doppelganger disappeared after it crossed the activation time. But as soon as it disappeared, Kahn felt a rush of energy added to his body and the total reserve increased by 50%.
"Now that"s more like it." spoke Kahn and opened the void crack again to explore what he started calling the True Dimension. Because it was the real dimension of s.p.a.ce while the one they were occupying was the side that was inhabited by the living things that did not have s.p.a.ce force in their bodies.
This time, Kahn entered the true dimension again and stayed there for longer. He started touching objects and constructs and even made slashes on the walls to see if his actions would somehow affect the real world.
"Awesome! So that"s why it"s the most powerful law of reality!" exclaimed Kahn as soon as he saw the results.
The marks he made in the true dimension appeared on the walls when he returned to the real world.
So in simple words… the true dimension did not have any mana or world energy. So if there was a barrier or protection formation in the real world, Kahn could use the true dimension to travel inside that place, return to the real world via a void crack and he would not be detected or seen as the external ent.i.ty breaching inside the barrier.
In simple words… if there was a treasure chest protected by walls, barriers and formations… Kahn could simply infiltrate inside without being seen or sensed and by opening the void crack… he could stand right in front of the chest.
He"d get to steal it or even bring the entire chest inside the true dimension by sharing his s.p.a.ce force with it and not a single soul would be able to know who stole the treasure and how they did it.
So basically… Kahn would be the ultimate thief as well as the person who can reach any place as long as he had enough s.p.a.ce force reserves in his body.
This new method also worked for perfect a.s.sa.s.sinations as well as intel gathering as the other party would not be able to see or sense him no matter how strong they were or which rank they belonged to.
Kahn could watch and hear his enemies by standing right in front of them but no one will ever find out.
Dimensional Void had opened so many doors for Kahn in the long run. And all he needed to do now was keep increasing his mastery and the effective range he could control and access with time.
The current limit was 110 meters just with 2% mastery over dimensional law divine ability so Kahn could guess how far his skill would get him if his calculations were right.
And who knew if the effective range would also increase with his ranks and levels in the future. So many pleasant surprises were waiting for him without a doubt.
And this was just the Dimensional Void.
There was still Dimensional Cut & Dimensional Domain skill that were part of Dimensional Law divine ability. They too would definitely have some OP effects of their own.
For the first time… Kahn started appreciating his choice of choosing this divine ability that was never selected before any of the summoned heroes.
After Kahn repeated the same actions till midnight.. He came to an impa.s.se for some reason.
"Not enough. I need to maximize the output." spoke Kahn as he felt like the additional effects of using a doppelganger were limited.
"System, is there a way to increase the activation time for my doppelganger skill?" asked Kahn.
[Yes. If the host uses a SS Rank mana core or an ore as a source to provide mana supply to the Doppelganger, the summoned copy can stay active for 1 more hour for each SS rank core used.] replied the system.
Kahn on the other hand… was shocked and rooted on the spot.
"System, tell me the cooldown to cast another doppelganger?" asked Kahn.
[The host can cast the skill once the activated period ends.. That is 10 minutes.] reported the system in its lifeless tone.
Kahn then another insidious grin.
"Amazing!! This means I can constantly have the doppelgangers absorb the cores to sustain themselves while they absorb world energy and mana to create s.p.a.ce force.
This way, I can increase my speed of studying s.p.a.ce law by manyfolds." he said in an exhilarated tone.
10 minutes later, he cast another doppelganger and 3rd Kahn appeared. While the previous one was holding a SS rank mana core in the left hand while absorbing from the core.
2nd copy also had 50% of his skills and stats plus shared the soul connection with him.
Kahn"s speed of absorption now doubled. He then repeated the same action for 2 hours and now there are 11 Kahn in the room. One original him while the ten were the doppelgangers.
Although he wanted to create more copies, the system informed that it was his current maximum limit as his body and soul weren"t strong enough to create more copies and share the soul connection without adverse effects.
All of the doppelgangers were given different s.p.a.ce rings of their own. And inside them were hundreds of SS Rank cores.
And now.. Kahn had five times the speed and his efficiency to create the s.p.a.ce force itself improved by five times his original maximum capacity.
In other words… Kahn was simply hacking the game.
"System, will the soul connection be severed if I enter the true dimension?" asked Kahn.
[No. The true dimension exists on both planes of existence at the same time. So the soul connection between the host and the doppelgangers will not be severed.]
"Muhaha hahaha haha muhaaaahahaha!!" laughed Kahn like a maniac.
Soon, other Kahns laughed like crazy psychopaths as well.
Kahn spoke in a coy tone as he opened another void crack…
"My name is Kahn Salvatore.... And I"m the smartest man alive."
