Copycat

I leave the manor and pop back into my throne room. There hasn't been a walpurgis in a while. The last one was ended rather abruptly by another tenma war. The angels slaughtered the weak demon lords leaving just me, Guy, Milim, Ramiris, Dino, Dagruel, Luminous, and someone called Kazalim. I've become rather estranged from the group as I tend to keep to myself and use Lucy as my proxy.

The humans of this world refer to me as the Titan of Abyssia, due to the tales from the tenma wars. Fear of the demon lords has been spreading recently, mainly due to Luminous' little religion.

By now, my own religion has grown to encompass the entire continent aside from the holy kingdom Luminous runs. Their priests refer to my believers as heretics, while mine just try to preach "my" words because of the teachings.

This has grown the number of souls entering my realm by thousands. Holy wars are honestly a good thing because every believer that enters my realm adds a little to my magicules.

[Magicules gained: 426821 (4,173,442)]

I'm not growing fast enough… If I wanted to grow more now I would have to hunt and kill demon lords, which would piss Guy off immensely. Maybe I should start a holy war against Luminous' religion. Surely the casualties from it would grant me more strength.

I wish I had a way to get Milim's magicules breeder. That girl has just been getting stronger and stronger. Guy is a different beast altogether. I have no clue how he gets so strong. Wait, didn't he copy Milim's skill? Lucky bastard.

[Notice: You could sacrifice a certain amount of skills to use to either create a titan energy reactor or a skill copier.]

'How much would I have to do for each?'

[To create an energy reactor, you would need to sacrifice 10 abilities and mutations. For the copier, you would need to sacrifice 14.]

'Get the copier. Sacrifice these: Slash, Aqua Jet, Ink spray, Turn Humanoid, Impregnate, Alpha call, Sacrifice, Pounce, Water spout, Bullet time, Ink Sac, Bioluminescence, Size Control, Water sac.'

[Notice: 14 abilities and mutations have been sacrificed. In their place, Abyssal Copier Gnshal has been obtained.]

[Abyssal Copier Gnshal: You are able to copy a skill. After each copy, the ability will be on cooldown as it forces an ability to merge itself into your brain. Depending on the skill, it can be as little as an hour or as much as 1m years.]

Oh damn. This ability seems pretty fucking good. I'll have to copy the magicule breeder during the next walpurgis. I could call one and just say it's to chat. Not like demon lords have anything better to do. I bring the ring up to my face and say,

"I'd like to call a walpurgis."

After a second, Milim chimes in,

"Alriiiiight!"

Guys voice then comes from it,

"Sure."

Then Luminous,

"I was wondering when the next one would be."

Everyone else either ignores our voices or just doesn't respond. Walpurgis is on!

—-------------------------------

Misery eventually shows up and brings us to the usual banquet location. I didn't bother bringing Lucy this time and instead changed my body to look like her. I take a seat and just sit silently. Luminous arrives first and looks at me confused.

"Uh, Lucifer? Where is Seraph?"

I wink at her and say,

"I am Seraph, Lucy is back at my temple. I just didn't wanna bring her today."

She nods her head and takes her seat, no longer talking to me. I don't mind that honestly, I'm a bit of an introvert myself. Dino and Dagruel arrive next. Dino has had a spike in power. I suppose he just got Lord of Sloth Belphegor. He's at about 3m magicules now. Once I get Milim's reactor, I'll be swimming in energy. Kazaream shows up with their mask on. I wonder if they're actually ugly under there or just wearing the mask for fun.

Then, the star of the show arrives…

"SERAAAAAAAA!"

Milim runs up to me and hugs me. I wonder why this girl is so obsessed with me.

"Hi Milim."

I pat her on the head as she runs her face into my stomach.

I suddenly feel time stop as a selection screen shows up in front of me. Wow. Even beings like Milim are stopped by this. I guess the system really is a higher creation… The screen lists off all of Milim's abilities and skills from weakest to strongest. Things like fire magic show that it would only take about two hours for the skill to cooldown, whereas something like the wrathful king would take 3 years to cooldown. Magicule breeder reactor however shows that it will take me about half a year to recover the ability. I tap on the reactor and a screen shows up,

[Are you sure?]

[Y] [N]

I tap yes and I feel a burning sensation in the side as my full body brain is manipulated to hold this skill. It's not unbelievably painful, but man is it annoying. Time restarts as the ability goes on cooldown.

[Magicules gained: 1 (4,173,443)]

[Magicules gained: 1 (4,173,444)]

'Only tell me after I wake up from a long nap!'

[Noted.]

Milim continues rubbing her face on my until Guy shows up. She then gets up and walks to the side before sitting down. Ramiris shows up with Guy and looks at me a little confused, but then realizes why I look like Lucy.

Guy then speaks,

"So, why did you call us today?"

I nod my head and speak up,

"I wanted to say hi since it's been a while. That's it really. That and I'm sure humanity is shitting themselves right now because of this meeting."

Dino, Dagruel, Luminous, and Kazaream all get a look of "really bitch?" on their faces. I look at them and say,

"If you don't wanna catch up you can always leave."

At that, Dino, Luminous, and Kazaream all leave. Dagruel stays however.

I look at Guy and say,

"I may not be able to attend the next few Walpurgis'. I'll be sleeping for a while after this. Maybe over one thousand years. I'll wake up every tenma war though. If it's something urgent, inform Lucy as she could wake me up."

Guy nods his head.

"I'm a bit annoyed that you won't be attending, but I understand. It's your nature right?"

I nod my head and say,

"It's not easy keeping such a big body energized."

Dagruel seems a little confused as he's never actually seen my Titan form. Guy, Milim, and Ramiris on the other hand all seem rather understanding. Of course, I'm bullshitting but they don't need to know that.

Well. It seems like my time here in Tensura is gonna be peaceful after all!
