[Chapter —37]

Watching my clone that was high on demon force fight off a high class demon to a standstill I was kinda proud of my creation but getting confused stares from everyone around me mostly the mutants who thought that the person up there was me was kinda funny, they kinda got used to it after seeing a couple more of me around.

Everytime my mana had gotten regenerated I had used my ability to spawn more of my clones which led to the battle coming to a standstill as I spawned more me's who some had actually died and I killed 3 more demon's too though but more seemed to replace the ones that had fallen.

" Hey Jer!" I got pulled out of my musing by the voice of Jean who floated right besides me looking a bit jacked up.

" Hey Jean, need something?" I asked not really that invested into the battle anymore.

" Urh actually since I can't connect to your mind we got a bit worried but the other X-Men were asking if that was you and I've already met a couple of your clones and they pointed me towards your direction saying that you were the original" Jean said with smile before she looked behind herself and found a demon rushing towards us but she simply held out her hand towards the demon and with a bit of telekinesis she threw it through a couple buildings and after it flew a couple miles it just popped into gore.

" Did that demon just pop?" I asked getting distracted from our conversation for a bit.

" Oh yeah we have found out that if they stray too far from that beam of light they start getting weak and if far enough they explode." Jean said making me pause for a bit.

' Wait a minute…demon's only explode like that due to the world pressure…ohhhh, so the abeam of light is negating the world's pressure for them and the further they go the less that negation works.' i found myself coming to my own conclusions.

" Anyways I was asked to come and ask you what's with that guy able to fight what seems to be the leader of the demon's?." Jean asked getting to why she came to me.

" Oh yeah, that's my clone…I don't know how but after it killed a demon the demon attempted to use some magic to enter my clone and takeover its body…I think it didn't work well and this is the result of that failure." I lied…well kinda, I told some truth but mostly lied to get myself out of any trouble that might come from this.

" Not gonna lie, I thought that was you being all cool and shit." Jean said with a cheeky smile.

" Oh Ha Ha, I can't help it of I'm not that cool for you." i playfully said with a playful pout earning a laugh from her.

" Well seeing that you're taking care of your self-ves? I'll go join your clone and hope a little bit of help may take down one of their leader." Jean said before she flew towards the batgle between my demon force clone and a high class demon.

" This sucks…" i thought with a sigh before I suddenly caught at the corner of my eye a person squashed by rubble that littered the battlefield but it's not the body that caught my attention but the box of cigarettes and a lighter.

Walking towards them I grabbed them and put one in my mouth and lit it before drawing in the smoke and breathing it out.

" That feels good." I thought with a smile.

" Urhh hey son, I don't mean to be a spoilsport but aren't you a bit too young to be smoking?…in a battleground no less?" I heard someone say behind me and looking back I saw a bloody captain america with his signature shield which was equally as bloody looking at me with a tired expression on his face.

" Oh it's one of you…how many are you guys anyway?" Cap asked.

" About 32 not counting the one who's currently on demon steroids fighting the demon leaders." I answered throwing the cigarette away and putting the rest in my inventory discreetly.

" CAP!!" Another voice said behind me and looking at who said that I found a robot man in red and gold floating behind me.

" We need you at the beam site, more stronger demon's are coming out." Iron man spoke before looking at me." Oh hi many kid." He said towards me.

" Many kid?" I asked actually confused.

" isn't that your hero name?…I swear one of your clones said that was your name." He replied.

Twitching at that one of my clones is fucking with me I shook my head while I thought of a name.

" Calm me infinity." I said with a sigh coming up with a hero name on the spot.

" Urh infinity…wait shouldn't the original be the one coming up with a name?" He asked as he dropped down to the ground probably forgetting about what he even came here for.

" Believe it or not…I'm the original…that guy fighting the demon leader just got lucky and gained a plethora of superpowers by accident." I said with a sigh still kinda bitter I wasn't the one to gain the powerup and I had tried re-doing it but my clone just had its soul destroyed and died.

" Reall—" Tony was about to continue but was suddenly stopped by the shout of well…me…my Nathaniel avatar to be exact.

" ENOOOOUGHH!!" I heard my Nathaniel avatar shout causing the entire battlefield to come to a stop and look up finding a black clothed figure descending towards the pillar of energy which had the other 7? Demon leaders standing there.

' When the fuck did they multiply?' i thought with a shake of my head.

Descending to the battle between the demon force empowered clone helped by Wanda the scarlet witch and Jean fighting a jacked demon who spewed hellfire with his every breath.

Shaking my head at that I looked at the demon leader who watched me warily but were mostly staring at the person I had on my shoulder.

Throwing the body onto the floor Infront of the demon that had been fighting the scarlet witch, Jean and my Jericho clone I looked at him as if daring him to fuck around and find out even though I knew I'd probably die against a high class demon.

" That is the demon you came up here for right?" I asked putting my hands inside my pockets just to look cool while staring down at the demon.

The said demom walked towards the person and grabbed him, sniffed him and then looked at his face before looking back towards the other demon leaders.

" It looks like him." The demon said before he suddenly started shrinking into a demonic human with horns, wings and a tail covered in clothes made of hellfire.

A demon leader walked up to the body and brought out a paper and tagged the body before the paper started lighting up.

" It's him…" The demon spoke with a nod before looking at me as I started floating in the air thanks to my upgraded gear.

" Thank you human…and we apologize things had come to this." The demon said with a boy before he grabbed into the demon clone of my original self and dragged him inside the pillar of light and dissapeared.

The demon wearing clothes made of demon fire simply grinned looking at the people he was fighting.

" It seems that this is where our battle ends…. Phoenix force user and the scarlet witch it has been an honour….you who I know nothing of, I hope I see you in the others." He spoke with eloquence all the while keeping his grin before he spoke in demon tongue which made the lower classes demon's start running away carrying their dead companions and entering the pillar followed by the high class demon's finally ending the battle as the pillar dissapeared.

" Finally" I thought with a smile finally letting the sigh of relief out but that seemed to be the wrong thing to do as in that time I had let down my guard I felt a punch connect to my jaw leading for me to be suddenly shot towards a damaged building bringing it down on me.
