453: Blueprint-based

Sophia noticed that the two butlers, who had been very resistant to her recent actions, were now showing goodwill.

“How strange, but it’s a good thing, I suppose.” She didn’t dwell on it.

What happened next completely baffled her.

One by one, they seemed to lose their minds, voluntarily handing over their duties to her and even offering careful guidance.

“Have they also submitted to the great Master?” That was Sophia’s first thought.

Otherwise, she couldn’t understand the reason for their change in attitude.

But when she asked, they hadn’t.

“Never mind, Master is coming. I’m too lazy to investigate further.” She gave up on trying to get to the bottom of it.

She very boldly used the two butlers.

Shiba and Benjamin were incredibly excited.

“Lady Demon God has acknowledged us.”

“This is a good thing.”

“If we build a good relationship now, how will those other butlers compete with us when we return?”

“Hahaha, I can sit in this position for another billion years.”

The two became even more eager.

They worked extremely hard.

It wasn’t that the two butlers lacked discernment.

It was simply that the technical team was largely managed by Sophia.

If the technical team betrayed them and left backdoors or hidden features in the formations and such, how would these laymen understand?

They weren’t completely without basic knowledge; at their age, they would understand a little.

But leaving backdoors was like coding on a computer; unless the original programmer was present, others might not even understand the meaning of a single line of code.

The two were at that level; as long as the program ran correctly and smoothly, they didn’t care about a specific line of code within it.

.........

When Lin Ye received Sophia’s message, he also felt a bit bewildered.

Is this truly fate assisting me?

How strange.

But then he didn't bother to care.

Fate indicated that their actions were beneficial to him.

It was also because he activated fate and received a prompt that he told Sophia, and only then did Sophia dare to boldly use those two.

“Master, all legions have assembled,” Vega said to Lin Ye.

“Depart.”

“Yes.”

Lin Ye did not appear before the public.

His identity as a Blood Demon was already compromised.

He was being hunted by gods.

Although he wasn't afraid, he didn't want to be targeted after seizing Bafang City.

So Lin Ye planned to change his identity.

However, changing identities wasn't that simple.

His aura was known to too many people.

The reason Siviya found him was because his aura was recorded, coupled with the angels' unique identification ability, so he had nowhere to hide.

“This is a good opportunity to try another function of the clone skill.”

Besides creating clones identical to the main body, the clone skill could also use one’s own power as a blueprint to extract a portion of it to create a clone.

This ability had existed for a long time, but Lin Ye had never had an opportunity to use it.

Now, he needed to conceal his identity, and this was where it came into play.

“With fate as the main body, the Prophet clone condenses.”

A clone appeared; he wore a long black robe embroidered with mysterious symbols and patterns that seemed to contain the mysteries of the universe, full of enigma. His eyes were like stars, full of wisdom.

Lin Ye handed him the Book of Prophecy.

After taking it, he retreated behind Lin Ye.

Although the Book of Prophecy had not fully recovered, under some basic uses, it was still stronger than a normal three-star divine artifact.

“The Blood Dragon Body belongs to the Blood Demon identity, so I can’t use it. Then I’ll condense a few other law-based clones.”

“Soul Reaper, come forth.”

The Soul Reaper, carrying an evil aura, appeared. Even without slaves, the Soul Reaper’s own Soul offense and defense were not bad.

Lin Ye handed him the Magic Mirror.

“Time-Space Hunter, come forth.”

The power of time and space condensed.

The Time-Space Hunter, inheriting abilities like Wormhole, Time-Space Tear, and Forbidden Grip, appeared.

Lin Ye handed him the Starry Orbit (gifted by the Galaxy Lord).

“Undead Star God, come forth.”

The Undead Star God, inheriting abilities like the Star Law, Starry Sky Battle Body, Indestructible and Unextinguished, Bodyguard Star, etc., appeared.

Lin Ye took out a set of armor (from an unknown cannon fodder) and gave it to him.

Each of these clones had an independent aura; the strongest, like the Prophet and Soul Reaper, were close to Dominator Eight-star.

The Time-Space Hunter and Undead Star God could only reach Dominator Seven-star, but due to the special nature of their skills, they could still play a certain role.

That’s enough.

Four clones attacking together would be enough to give Phoenix a hard time.

Moreover, this type of power-splitting clone had one extremely buggy aspect.

Besides having different auras, they even had their own unique Divine Kingdoms.

Under this ability, who could guess their connection to the Blood Demon?

At most, some people familiar with Lin Ye would be curious as to why these people resembled Lin Ye so much, each having different abilities.

But what was Lin Ye? He was basically unknown, perhaps only the Curse Demon God had a deep impression of him.

But even if the Curse Demon God came, he wouldn't believe Lin Ye could progress so quickly.

The fact that these clones could possess Divine Kingdoms meant they could travel independently.

Lin Ye hadn't used them before because the clones created by splitting power were too weak.

Without the amplification of the Blood Dragon Body, even with divine artifacts, their clone strength would greatly decrease because the divine artifacts weren't perfectly suited to them.

If his Blood Demon identity wasn't so universally reviled, he would have chosen to confront them head-on.

........

The news of Vega’s march could not be concealed at all.

The vast army, though a motley crew without even a unified military spirit, was simply too enormous in number.

Along the way, wherever they went, living beings scattered.

Even those mindless Chaotic Beasts weren't foolish.

Are you kidding me?

Being mindless doesn't mean having no instinct; encountering so many demons, even a fool would know to flee.

“Whose army is this, and why is it so vast?”

“I don’t know. Which Demon God could raise such a force?”

“Their strength isn’t comparable to a typical Demon God’s legion, but their numbers are too impressive.”

“They’re just a disorganized rabble. Only a few legions even have a military spirit; encountering other legions, they’ll just be cannon fodder.”

Some were scared, some were confused, some were disdainful, some were awestruck.........

The legion raised by the unknown Demon God was ten times larger in number than a typical Demon God’s legion.

For ordinary legions, like the Phoenix Phoenix Legion, maintaining a scale of 100,000 was already good.

Any more, the combat power increase was limited, but the maintenance cost greatly increased, making it too uneconomical.

However, Vega, regardless of cost, raised a million-strong legion.

This million-strong legion alone would cost 100 million void stones just for the admission fee.

Lin Ye couldn't afford this 100 million void stones, and Vega would also be hard-pressed.

If he had that kind of foundation, he would have used it to help Lin Ye advance long ago.

But Lin Ye had a ticket share from the Dragon Race.

This money could only be paid after the event ended, which for Lin Ye meant it was a distant solution that couldn't quench immediate thirst. Delaying his advancement speed to wait for this money would be a loss.

So, he came up with the idea of sending Vega’s army through an accounting method.

After some communication with the Dragon Race, this awe-inspiring army was sent in.
