Chapter 48: Ch 48 : Third Talent

"I gave all my divinity to the system, so that it can help you all until the first godly week. It was meant to help you all," Adam said as he defended himself against Sunny’s allegations. "But you spent all my collected faith points on trading. I never thought any god could do so many transactions," Adam now blamed Sunny. "Trading anything requires a huge amount of faith; even just sharing a message in a universe will cost multiple faith points. You can imagine the price yourself for trading items." Adam further complained about Sunny. All the gods who heard this were unable to comprehend how Sunny could have used up all the faith reserves that were meant for all the gods. "Haha, you’re blaming me now? Instead of this, you should have reserved more faith points for us gods," Sunny replied. Adam fumed with flames upon hearing this. But Sunny wasn’t doing this just to make Adam angry. He knew that Adam posed no threat to him, as his perception was high due to his God’s Eye. "We are going to take revenge for you, after all," Sunny said, and the anger that flared in Adam quickly subsided. "Well, Adam, I want to invite you to spend your leftover time in my world. Will you give me this pleasure?" Sunny asked Adam. Adam began to ponder the request. He had nothing to do, and his time was very limited, about one or two days. God Cosmos was currently the leading god of all the gods, so Adam didn’t want Sunny to have any bad feelings toward him. Thus He agreed to Sunny’s request. After a few more dialogues with other gods, the souls of all the gods returned to their bodies in their God space. It marked the end of the seventh day. In Sunny’s God space, he was not alone. Adam’s soul was also with him. "You can visit my world," Sunny said to Adam, pointing toward Veridia. "It is called Veridia." As Adam descended into Veridia, Sunny began to put his thoughts into his divine talent, "Skill-Resonance." The system was no longer there to help him copy a talent from his life forms, so now, in the system’s absence, he needed to do it himself. Sunny focused on Umbra and thought of copying the talent "Cloning." He could also copy Adam’s talent, but he decided against it for now. While Adam’s "Overgrowth" talent helped life forms push past their limits to reach the demigod realm, Sunny’s current life forms were not yet at their talent limits. The few who had reached their maximum potential were only at C-Grade or below; even with "Overgrowth," they would require a huge amount of time to reach DemiGod realm. Thus, he had decided to invite Adam to Veridia, as his talent clearly stated that he could copy the talent of any life form on his territory. Therefore, Sunny copied the "Cloning" technique from Umbra. He felt a familiar feeling, one he had felt when he copied the "Magic Affinity" talent from Nova. But there was no system to show Sunny his current talents. Sunny thought for a second and then used his "God’s Eye" on himself. His "God’s Eye" had the ability to show detailed information about someone. He couldn’t see the information of other gods because of their defenses, but looking at his own information was easy. [God Name: Cosmos Profession: Mage (C-Grade) Talents: Skill-Resonance (SSS-Grade), Mana Affinity (SS-Grade), Cloning (SS-Grade) Faith Points: (you guys guess, I forgot)] Sunny thought about the talent "Cloning," and the detailed information of this talent appeared in his mind. [Talent: Cloning Grade: SS Description: Can use faith points to create a clone. The clone can work and think independently and will have all the strength of the user. Anything the clones achieve will be provided to the main body. Notes: 1 -> The clone can exist without any ongoing cost; it is just a one-time cost of faith points. 2 -> Each new clone you create will have their cost increase exponentially. 3 -> These clones will always listen to the command of the creator.] "-_-" Sunny was shocked as he checked this information again and again in his mind. In the end, after confirming it more than five times, he said in amazement, "My talent is this powerful? Even Umbra would be jealous if she saw this." He immediately created a clone of himself, and the cost was just 10 faith points. This clone looked exactly like him but still appeared lifeless. With one thought from Sunny, the lifeless body of the clone shook, and he immediately came to life. "Woahhh!" both Sunnys exclaimed at once. They looked like twins. Sunny then manifested the attire he wore when he visited Veridia. He handed the robe and mask to his clone and asked it to cover itself. Sunny then created another clone. The price was 100, then 1,000, then 100,000, then 1 million, then 10 million, and then 100 million. Sunny wanted to create more, but his reserves ran out. He had made seven clones of himself, and the next one would cost 1 billion. "I am bad with names, so let’s just go with numbers," Sunny said as he looked at the seven clones, who were now covered with his signature robe and mask. "You are clone number one," Sunny said, pointing to all the clones and naming them one through seven. He then began giving them tasks. The first two clones were given the task of practicing magic. The next two were given the task of learning different fighting techniques. The final three were given the task of keeping their eyes on the demigods and Veridia, as Sunny didn’t want to be in constant fear of another demigod demon attacking. Now, Sunny was officially unemployed. His only task of trading was gone with the system. And now, even practicing magic was also gone, as the skills achieved by the clones would be reflected in him. He didn’t even need to keep his eyes on Veridia, as three clones were performing this duty with all their attention.
