The most courageous pirate hunter

The most fundamental starting point and energy.

Any cultivator who wants to cast spells or use certain abilities needs to build upon the foundation of "energy." The only difference might be the quality of this energy and the way it operates.

Or it has been processed.

As long as we return to the origin, then they are one, which is the so-called one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things, and their origins are all the same.

This is also why Hermes was able to use his Haki instead of chakra to open the Eight Gates.

Why did Hermes target the Eight Gates and Shadow Clone Technique from the very beginning? The Eight Gates, needless to say, can continuously increase power tenfold.

The Shadow Clone Technique is even more powerful, whether used for combat or cultivation.

Especially cultivation.

The so-called Shadow Clone Technique is to use chakra to create a physical clone. The clone will distribute the original's chakra evenly and has its own consciousness and a certain degree of resilience. After the clone is released, its memories and experiences will return to the original.

What does that mean.

If Hermes succeeds in his cultivation, he can create ten clones. These ten clones will take away Hermes' power, meaning each clone will possess one-tenth of Hermes' power.

The key is that these ten clones all possess Hermes' consciousness, can think independently, and have all of Hermes' abilities; they can be said to be Hermes himself.

What Hermes valued most was that the clone could cultivate on its own, and its memories and experiences would also return to the original body after it returned.

For example.

When a clone learns an ability, the original body will naturally acquire it upon returning to it, just as if it had learned it itself.

Hermes has been confirmed in Naruto's memories.

This guy summons a large number of clones while training, and then trains together with them before returning to his main body. The ninjutsu that originally required a thousand days to master can now be mastered in just one day.

This fully demonstrates the power of numbers.

This is practically a cheat code for training.

Let's imagine.

Hermes summoned a thousand clones, one hundred of which specialized in the Six Powers, another hundred in Life Return, and others in Armament Haki, Observation Haki, the Teleportation Fruit, the Big-Small Fruit, the Soul-Soul Fruit...

Even those who specialize in scientific research.

If each clone makes even a tiny bit of progress, then when they all combine and return to the original body, it won't be a small problem.

再配合上创世书里的1:6个月时速，而且这次创世书还吃掉了大量灵魂，指不定消化完时速会变成1:1年、1:5年等等。

Lots of people.

There's plenty of time.

If one cultivates for thousands or tens of thousands of years, even a pig could destroy the world.

Hermes' heart raced at the thought.

You absolutely must learn this trick.

In a state of high excitement, Hermes began to concentrate intently on his research, determined to find a solution even if it took a hundred or a thousand years.

outside world.

Mansherry began to tidy up the entire planet, and wherever she went, it was as if nature itself had descended. Gradually, various natural disasters began to subside, and the world was revitalized.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Although the land has recovered, the catastrophe a year ago almost wiped out all life, with only a few lucky survivors, and the inheritance of ninjutsu has been interrupted.

It's estimated that civilization will have to start all over again.

A human settlement somewhere.

I estimate there are only about ten people.

One of the leaders stood atop a mountain, gazing at the horizon, seemingly lost in thought.

His name is Jigen. He survived the mass extinction a year ago and was supposed to create a shell organization according to his original trajectory. In fact, he was parasitized by Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Otsutsuki Isshiki came to Earth a thousand years ago with Kaguya to plant the Divine Tree. He was also Kaguya's superior. For the Divine Tree to bear chakra fruits, an Otsutsuki needed to sacrifice himself.

However, sacrifice is not true death; one can be resurrected through "wedges," which is essentially a form of possession and rebirth.

Kaguya was originally to be sacrificed, but Kaguya, lacking any sense of martial ethics, ambushed Isshiki at a crucial moment, forcing Isshiki to be reborn using Jigen's body.

This information shows that Kaguya has a very low status in the Otsutsuki clan. However, this woman is also smart. If it were Hermes, he would probably choose to become a supreme being on Earth and lord it over others, rather than return to the Otsutsuki clan and be driven by others.

It's a pity she gave birth to two beasts worse than pigs and dogs; otherwise, a thousand years would have been enough time for Kaguya to grow stronger again, and then she would have been able to contend with the higher-ups of the Otsutsuki clan.

Perhaps fate will change completely.

All I can say is that Hagoromo and Hamura are truly heartless.

"Before a suitable vessel is found, he will not be reborn."

"Judging by the time, the clan should have already noticed the problem on Earth, and it's about time they sent someone over, but..."

Isshiki recalled the divine aura from a year ago and couldn't help but feel worried for the Otsutsuki clan members who had come to investigate. Even Kaguya, who had eaten the Chakra Fruit, had been defeated.

The entire world was devastated and many lives were wiped out.

That kind of earth-shattering power is probably only something that the higher-ups of the Otsutsuki clan can contend with.

Otherwise, even a regular Otsutsuki wouldn't be able to defeat it.

Only a year has passed, and this planet, which was on the verge of destruction, has been revitalized, with an ecosystem even better than before. It is practically a newly born planet.

I sighed.

They returned to the gathering place in one go.

He needed to cultivate a new vessel as soon as possible, as Jigen's body could not withstand his reincarnation. Originally, he could have slowly searched the ninja world, but unexpectedly, most of the ninjas died a year ago, so he had to cultivate one himself.

outer space.

A large book shaped like a dragon is revolving around the Earth's orbit.

This page of the Eghelm Institute.

The high mountains and flowing water are like a fairyland.

Hermes can be seen everywhere here; I estimate there are at least a thousand of them. Some are practicing the Six Styles together, some are discussing the return of life, some are studying the mysteries of the body, and some are cultivating the Soul-Soul Fruit, the Big Fruit, and the Teleportation Fruit abilities.

A year has passed in the outside world.

The Book of Genesis states that 365 years have passed.

After absorbing a large number of souls, the time flow in the Book of Genesis and outside is 1 day: 1 year.

In these 365 years, Hermes successfully developed the Shadow Clone Technique, using cells as the starting point and Haki as the energy source.

There is nothing in this world that cannot be studied. If theology cannot explain it, then science can. As long as you return to the basics, you will find that everything is actually quite simple.

Chapter 557 [Having swallowed a fruit, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens]

The high-tech doors of the research institute have been opened.

A slightly disheveled Hermes emerged, yawned, looked at the Hermes covering the mountains and fields, and with a wave of his hand, all the Hermes exploded into invisible cells, which rushed into his body.

time.

Hermes closed his eyes and began to absorb the cultivation results of his various avatars over the past century.

not bad.

He has made progress in the Six Powers, Life Return, Teleportation Fruit, Soul-Soul Fruit, Big and Small Fruits, Armament Haki, Observation Haki, science, and so on. He has made comprehensive progress without any blind spots and has not developed any specialization issues.

In those 365 years, Hermes spent only five years developing the art of shadow clones, and spent the remaining 360 years creating numerous clones for cultivation.

And I haven't been idle either.

I've been researching this!

Strictly speaking, Hermes' Shadow Clone Technique is different from that of Naruto, Tobirama Senju, and others. It follows a path that combines with science, which can be considered an innovation!

Extending an index finger, it exploded out of thin air, and the scattered flesh and blood cells began to transform into clones, this time numbering a full three thousand.

If Hermes is willing.

Hair, body hair, skin, blood, nails, etc. can all be turned into clones, because these are all Hermes' cellular genes. As long as cells are the source and Haki is the energy source, clones can be created.

It's somewhat like cloning.

If those clones are released, they will revert to cells and re-integrate into the body.

The biggest difference between Hermes and Naruto is that Naruto can create clones out of thin air, while Hermes needs a point, which is cells. Without cells, Hermes cannot create clones.

No matter how.

The Shadow Clone Technique was a great success.

If Hermes wanted to create more clones at once, he would have to become stronger, because these clones would take away his power.

There's no shortage of cells, and it can regenerate, so it's practically inexhaustible.

The key is the power within his body. These three thousand clones have divided his power equally, leaving him extremely weak. Fortunately, the three thousand clones can cultivate and then return to strengthen the original body, which in turn continues to create clones.
