LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 378: Infinite cloning
The Dragon Queen scoffed at Atlan, feeling as if she had been cheated. She thought that she had finally cornered the humans into realizing their stupidity in fighting her, but she underestimated how crafty this one boy could be.
'It's a crafty neat trick, but it doesn't matter. As long as I can continue to die, my clones will multiply infinitely and eventually overwhelm you into submission.
I will not repeat this again. Surrender the traitor or face the consequences.'
Atlan didn't even bother to respond to the Queen. After all, he would never give up Tulip to her scheming hands, not now that he was already fighting her with everything he had.
Just as the Queen said, the three dragon clones finally reached the battlefield and entered the space with a triumphant screech.
GRAOOO!
This time, the clones seemed to have realized their mistake after the last time. They moved together as one, protecting each other from any type of distraction or attack that the humanoid puppets could create.
The Frog Dragon, one of Atlan's puppets, tried to rush towards the three clones and rain forth a ball of acid in their direction. Now that they were all curled up in a small space, it was the perfect time to spew acid in their faces.
However, the three dragons countered the acid by spitting out three spheres of void and destruction toward the acid ball, turning it into nothing but mere atoms upon contact.
And the three balls didn't stop there. They continued to rush up towards the Frog Dragon and combine into one single giant black hole that swallowed everything in its path.
The Frog Dragon used its giant legs to 'jump' up to a higher altitude, but not before having the black hole graze one of its legs. Upon contact, its legs were destroyed and devoured down to the bone.
Atlan's puppet started to fall. The loss of its legs led to a disharmony in its flight path.
Thankfully, since his puppets were at the level of a Specialist Savior, it was able to recover its legs in a relatively fast manner. However, it was not fast enough for it to stop its descent, forcing it to crash down into the forest and land on several trees.
Meanwhile, the three Dragon clones continued to rush toward the humans, with their intent clear as day. They wanted to devour the humans.
It was at this point that Atlan finally made a move.
He commanded his clone puppet to intercept the three dragon clones in their flight path.
'What is your clone gonna do? This is utterly ridiculous!' the Dragon Queen ridiculed.
But Atlan knew what he was doing. The clone puppet flew down to protect Ninth and the other, using its intense physical strength to defy gravity.
Then, it simply raised its hands and pointed at the three dragons.
At first, the Dragon Queen didn't see anything significant with the clone puppet. In her eyes, it was as weak as the original or even much weaker. It did not pose a lot of trouble to her own three dragon clones.
She even ridiculed Atlan. After all, her clones were a source of pride for her. It was ridiculous to think that the puny human would think that his clone would be better than hers.
But then, the clone suddenly closed its eyes and raised its hands.
Suddenly, a familiar power emanated from the clone. It was something that everyone had seen before.
A giant needle and a giant ball of yarn suddenly appeared beside the clone. And just like the original, the clone ball of yarn and needle started to move on its own, creating another puppet at a fast speed.
It didn't take long before it created another four puppets in its midst: the Beast, the Prince, the Frog Prince, and the Huntsman.
The Dragon Queen Malificient felt that something was wrong. This wasn't supposed to happen. It wasn't supposed to be possible.
The new puppets then raised their hands. Power surged from their humanoid bodies, the same one that the other humanoid puppets emanated.
Then, a single command from Atlan's clone puppet made the other puppets unleash their LifeSkills.
The Huntsman fired off an Apocalyptic Hellfire arrow at the three dragon clones, creating a ruinous explosion that knocked off their scales.
The Beast rushed towards the three dragon clones and started to wreak havoc on one of its backs, tearing scales with his bare hands.
The Frog Prince swallowed another scale from the Dragon clones and started to transform into a dragon as well.
The Prince used his protective bubble to protect the three clones from being destroyed by the dragon clones' retaliation, which consisted of another three black holes.
With the combined strength of the 2nd generation puppets, the three dragon clones were helpless as they got bombarded with Specialist-level LifeSkills.
The Dragon Queen Malificient felt her pride get shattered once she saw this.
'YOU BASTARDS!'
Somehow, Atlan's clones were able to beat her own clones. This shattered her pride into a million pieces and evoked a furious reaction from the Queen.
In her anger, she summoned more and more clones, this time bringing a total of twenty Dragon clones from the death of the three dragons.
This would have made other people tremble in fear, but Atlan didn't even break a sweat.
"You're not the only one who can summon an infinite amount of clones."
Atlan's clone puppet summoned the giant needle and yarn again to create the last puppet.
The Queen thought he'd create another White Beauty.
But instead, Atlan's clone puppet started to create another clone puppet of its own, with all the powers and abilities of the original Atlan.
The Dragon Queen's jaw dropped once she saw the 3rd generation clone puppet start to manifest its own giant yarn ball and needle.
She couldn't believe it.
She thought she would have the advantage of numbers against the human boy. But this 'skill' completely evened out the battlefield.
"That's right, you lizard. I can infinitely create puppets too."
