Chapter 182: 182. I am you and you are me
"My weakness?" Orion laughed wryly. He had almost infinite energy, a curse for physical strength, and elemental curses of fire, ice, and lightning. He can teleport, make his body intangible and many other cheat-like abilities that almost make him a perfect being.
Although, if he did have a weakness, it would be his rank. He was just at the iron rank, and without his curses, he wouldn't belong here at all.
And the most dreadful thing was that his clone also possessed all those abilities but had a higher level of control and strength over them than Orion, making the clone even more terrifying.
"My only weakness is my rank, which is only at the iron rank," he said to her.
Elyn frowned when she heard him. "Aren't you too full of yourself?" She asked, her voice laced with irritation.
"It's truth and I don't care if you believe it or not." Orion shrugged.
Elyn was about to argue more when she sensed something and turned her head upward to look at the sky.
In the sky, both Astral and Grey Orion suddenly came to a stop after clashing with each other with only brute strength.
"You are strong, very strong." Grey Orion nodded in excitement.
However, Astral didn't seem as excited as Grey Orion and only looked at him with a deep frown.
"You... who are you?" He asked. "How could you be so strong when you are only at iron rank?"
He had never seen anyone with such a low rank possess such monstrous strength. It was impossible to have that level of power at such a rank, even for someone like himself, who was at the peak of gold rank and had to use a forbidden ability to reach that level.
But the guy in front of him didn't seem serious at all. It was as though he was excited about the fight, like someone who had been holding back their strength for a long time and finally had the opportunity to unleash it.
"Who am I?" Grey Orion smiled. "Don't you see the face? Don't you recognise the voice? The Body? I am Orion but far better and more powerful than the original one."
As he said that, he swiped in the air beside him, causing a crack to appear in the void.
"Are those?" Erick's face turned grim when he saw what came out of that crack.
Grey Orion smiled. "Yeah, these are your clones—all the people that came here have a clone here."
"How could that be possible?" Elyn exclaimed, seeing so many clones of themselves come out of the crack. Meanwhile, her eyes were fully focused on the clone of her, who just looked like herself but only in black and white.
"How do all these clones exist?" Astral frowned. The situation became even more complex now that everyone's clones were here.
Grey Orion laughed. "Don't worry too much; these clones are not like me. You see, all of them appeared to have been controlled by someone unlike me, who has complete control over my body and thoughts. Also, they want you guys dead so it all works out for me."
Astral and others could tell that there was something wrong with their clones by how they only stared at them like puppets.
"You know what the best thing is?" Grey Orion continued. "Although they appeared to be controlled by someone, for reasons unknown, they seem to listen to everything I say to them."
Everyone's faces turned dark when they heard him for they knew what he could do with that ability.
Grey Orion smiled, seeing their expression. "Clones, kill them."
As he gave them the commands, all the clones came to their originals and started attacking them.
And in a moment, the grey lands became a battlefield between clones and originals.
Astral's clones were attacking him, who had also opened his five limits. They were fighting toe-to-toe with each other, just like Elyn and her clone. Erick, Princess Luma, and all the people that came here started to fight with their clones.
Only Orion and his clone remained.
One was smiling while watching all of this, while the other had his head down, completely oblivious to the ongoing war between the clones and the originals.
