Puppet Clones

Dante didn't want to waste all of his time travelling around with Mia and San, so he wanted to create a Puppet Clone to do that for him. But Dante also knew that the puppets that Dante used had fully functioning qualities. This could even mean Dante could have children with his puppets when he's older.

But that's not the point. Right now Dante needs to decide what materials he will use to produce a puppet clone. He wants a talent of at least the third Rank for now.

As he had Fairy State Cultivation base twice, his soul is technically split into two different options. Dante also knew that it would keep increasing as he practiced more and more techniques as Puppets.

The benefits of the Puppet Technique is that while cultivation wouldn't be passed back to his main body, part of the soul would be. Which would lead to multiple souls being formed in Dantes body.

Of course all the souls are Dante himself, just increasing his soul strength. Right now Dante only has two souls in his body, one from the Puppet Technique, and One from his Armstrong Family Technique.

Dante didn't want either of those to fully leave his body, so he split a third of his Puppet Techniques soul into his puppet clone body and would retrieve it once the puppet clone created its own soul in the Fairy State.

Despite only being a third of the Puppet Technique's soul, it is also able to have spiritual strength equal to an ordinary Fairy State Cultivator!

Dante searched on his plane for resources available to make a puppet. Luckily he had retrieved the inheritance of the Antique, so he had a large amount of options available. But he also received many cultivation techniques that can be chosen.

The one that Dante selected however was the Flame Beast Cultivation Technique. It was the technique used by the Antique in its lifetime and matched perfectly if Dante used the Flame Stone as a material to make a puppet.

Flame stones are typically made when valuable metals are submerged in flames for hundreds of thousands of years. They are incredibly rare and can boost the cultivation speed of ordinary Fire Cultivators.

Dante looked at the adult sized block of flame stone and began crafting his puppet. If the puppet is made of Flame stone it will likely have a Flame Spirit Physique!

As a Rank 3 Physique, it is especially sensitive to Fires, and if successfully cultivated to the Antique realm it's plane will have the ability to form Flame spirits to fight for it! That's right, Dantes puppet clones can also produce planes connected to the world tree.

The puppet production took a whole day. During this time Mia had fully implanted herself into the role of the young miss. She had formed her own Clique out of the maids who flattered her the most and started to explore the jewelry that Dante had provided her with.

Inside of Mias room, Dante prepared hundreds of valuable treasures for her to enjoy. This included earrings with spiritual space, bracelets that can defend the attacks of Fairy State warriors and even rings that boost cultivation speed.

All of this was left just to Mia to enjoy, and surprisingly she started handing them out as rewards and it seemed to be working. Dante told the puppets to actually treat Mia as the mistress.

So all the puppets with their own free will naturally wanted to raise their status among the new mistress and provided her with all sorts of stories and information about the world. Naturally it was nothing that Dante didn't allow them to share.

And it didn't involve anything secret about Dante.

Even so Mia started hearing about all sorts of amazing sights that just made her even more sure of staying with Dante. After all, someone who can have all of this surely isn't a simple person right.

San on the other hand, locked himself away in the training ground using Dantes medicines that he provided to Mia. What Dante didn't yet know was that San didn't want to fall behind Dantes strength so he could take Mia away if needed.

Unfortunately he didn't understand that Mia was already hooked on this lifestyle.

Finally after two days of intense crafting, Dante finally looked satisfied as he saw the cute puppet copying his face. His attempts were successful, as he managed to make the puppet have a flame spirit physique and used a rare heart of the earth as the core of the puppet.

The Heart of the Earth is a rare material found when planes get occupied. Naturally Dante found it within the Antiques storage. Surprisingly Dante found that the puppet also holds the ability to manipulate earth energy as well as just fire!

Normally the Heart of the Earth is just used to make Planes more fertile and spiritual but now Dante used it as a 'heart' of a puppet. As for what that will cause, Dante at least knew it wouldn't be negative.

As for the reason it took two days? Dante created a third puppet. This time he selected a rare million-year ice block to make a puppet with. The puppet actually had a Rank 2 Frost Physique and as Dante touched it's ice cold skin it was like a frozen cellar.

The Frost Physique Puppet had long blue hair and icy sparkling eyes that seemed to freeze anyone upon contact. This was officially Dantes most skilled Puppet Clone with a Rank 2 Physique.

Even if the Frost Physique is quite a low level Rank 2 it is Rank 2 nonetheless.

Dante split part of his soul out of his body, in the shape of a smaller version of himself. But he floated up to the heart of the puppet and tunneled into his first puppet.

Immediately his head felt flighty and dizzy as it looked as if he was seeing the world through two sets of eyes. He tried moving the arm of the puppet but his main body's hand also moved.

Luckily it didn't take long for Dante to succeed in manipulating the puppet separately. After all, his brain power is equal to millions of genius' on earth operating at the same time.

The hardest part to get used to was the mortal cultivation base of the Puppet Dante named the Dante V2. Even if the Flame Stone is powerful and rare, Dante dedicated all of its strength towards improving the physique.

As for the third puppet, Dante named it Dante V3 and did the same thing as the first puppet. However he left it hidden in the carriage with two ancient cultivators with it.

So the cultivation base of Dante V2 and V3 hadn't even stepped into the body tempering realm yet. Luckily it's talent was high, and with the help of many resources Dante could easily evolve it quickly.

Unfortunately Dante V2s future was destined to be busy, as it was responsible for travelling around with Mia and earning her trust. However Dante realised that the Aura of Heaven is linked with his soul!
