[Equipment: Grappling Hook (C), Tattered Cloak (U), Lantern of the Damned (UR), Destruction Wand (R), Sun Bird (R)]

[Experience: 470]

The cocoon breaks, and in it is walking out a new Blaze Singer.

Due to malnourishment, Blaze has been skinny and shorter than anyone else his entire life. He was only 165 meters previously.

165 for a 16-year-old is pretty short. Jake was more than 180 meters. And Alyson is around 180 meters.

Now Blaze is a head taller than before, reaching 185 meters in height.

His entire body is sculpted out of pure, hard muscle. Each muscle line visible on his skin like a masterpiece of a statue, an actual god amongst men.

Crevices of abs breathe out steam. Sweat runs on the perfectly smooth skin and rock-hard muscles.

This is no longer the ugly trashy. Blaze, now, looks like an actual superhero.

His shorts were disintegrated in the process of metamorphosis. He is now completely naked.

Blaze raises his hand. The Sun Bird flies up from the ground and into his hand, then it disappears into Inventory.

The Tattered Cloak covers him. Now the figure is larger than before, with an even more terrifying aura around it.

"I should find some clothes."

The Tattered Cloak is useless in the morning, so he can't wear it when day comes.

The Akansa High has a bunch of sports clothes lying around. They should be suffice for Blaze to use.

But before that, he will test this new S-rank power.

"My luck is actually not that bad."

Thinking he was going to get another low-rank power. This unexpected surprise really caught him off guard. A free S-rank without having to waste too many experience points.

It's not a combat power, but it is still useful.

The new superpower created a new window inside the System.

[CLONES]

[Existing Clone]

None.

[Available Genesis]

- Normal: Genetic traces received from the User's human genome.

Price: 5 days lifespan or 50 EXP

- Shocking Force: Genetic traces received from Force Shocker (B-rank).

The clone can use the Force Shocker (B-rank) and its lower-rank variations.

The clone is resistant to electricity damage and can draw energy from it.

The clone's strength is greater than that of the user (+2).

Price: 5 years lifespan or 1000 EXP

[Clone Storage: 0/2]

After Blaze opens the new window, several messages pop up.

[Clone Creation: can use other forms of suitable energy]

Current suitable energy: Lifespan; Experience Points.

[Clone can be stored inside the Clone Storage]

[Clone Storage Expansion: 2000 EXP per slot]

The new superpower is worthy enough for the System to create a dedicated window for it, along with the current STATUS, INVENTORY, and QUEST.

It even prepares a storage unit for Blaze. But still, the expansion price is incredibly high, even more than the Inventory Expansion.

"Hmmm. These clones aren't just temporary. They are an actual body when created and won't disappear after use."

Blaze feels the new power within, knowledge comes out from his genetic components, teaching him its reach and limits.

He wonders if the Jade Snake can also be used as a genetic sample for the Genetic Absorption.

Blaze opens his palm, a Jade Scale appears. Purple energy pours out of his skin, the power of Genesis Legion, and touches the Jade Scale.

Unfortunately, Genesis Legion has no interest in the Jade Scale at all.

Blaze also tries with the Snake's Flesh, resulting in the same rejection.

Then, he takes out the Snake's Core.

[Detecting suitable DNA sample for Genesis Absorption!]

The purple energy covers the Snake's Core and draws out its power. Blaze can feel the green orb in his hand turn smaller by a little bit.

[New Genesis Clone is unlocked!]

- Acidic Jade: Genetic traces received from Snake's Core.

The clone can use the Acidic Spit (D-rank).

The clone is resistant to acidic damage.

The clone has natural defensive scales on its skin.

Price: 5 months lifespan or 250 EXP

"It's actually work. Interesting..." Blaze mumbles.

He now has three Genesis to choose for his clown.

Normal Genome is basically him without any of his power. A true cannon fodder that won't have any other uses.

Shocking Force Genome contains the power of Force Shocker and its enhanced attributes.

Acidic Jade has the abilities and characteristics of the Jade Snake.

By going through the Genomes, Blaze suddenly realizes another limitation of Genesis Legion.

None of his clones can have two types of Genomes together. One clone for each superpower alone.

But Blaze is able to house both Force Shocker and Genesis Legion. Many superheroes also have multiple powers.

The Pale Harpy can create energy feathers for combat, and she can also fly. A notable example for multiple powers.

Not only that, Genesis Legion can absorb the DNA to create a clone with new power. But it can't integrate this power to the original, Blaze himself.

Blaze definitely will not be going to use his life expectancy for the clone. Experience points are much cheaper and can be collected.

No one is dumb enough to use lifespan.

[Current experience points: 470]

Since Blade cannot upgrade his power nor do anything more with the experience points, he decides to test the superpower.

Wasting 250 EXP, Blaze creates an Acidic Jade clone.

[Creating clone...]

[Please design the appearance of your new clone!]

Blaze ponders.

He can create another version of himself. His mother is going to faint when she sees two of them.

Or he can create a handsome clone. Good for making connections.

An intimidating one is also useful in some cases.

But right now, he needs the appearance of someone to help him save Alyson.

"William D'Angelo…

Yes, his face can help me rescue Alyson."

There will be time until William's death is announced. That is enough for Blaze to infiltrate their organization and save Alyson.

[Please choose your clone's Genesis]

Blaze chooses the Acidic Jade.

[Remaining experience points: 220 EXP]

Purple energy pours out of Blaze's skin and converges into a humanoid figure in front of him.

Bones birth from the purple energy, and flesh materializes into the air.

Then, once the shell is formed. The purple energy pours into the middle of the clone's forehead, establishing a mental connection between Blaze and it.

William D'Angelo is now reborn into the world.

He looks exactly like how Blaze remembers him.

Blaze even scans his memories before so he knows each and every part of William's body, helping create an exact copy from the original.

[Detecting compatibility between your Power (Genesis Legion S-rank) and your equipment (Lantern of the Damned - Ultra Rare)]

[New Sub Power is unlocked!]

[New Hidden Power is unlocked!]

[Lantern of the Damned]

- Soul Bound: You can assign a soul to a body that it is 100% compatible with. Giving it control of the body.

[Genesis Legion]

- Genesis Soul: A soul that is assigned to your clone will integrate its soul genome to the clone.

Blaze smirks.
