Chapter 10: The Creation of the Clones
As the Divine Triad consolidated their rule and the multiverse was restored, Sung Jinwoo and Sung Su-Ho knew that their responsibilities extended beyond mere protection and governance. There were greater mysteries within the abyss and the realms that needed to be explored, as well as delicate matters of balance that required more personal engagement. To accomplish these tasks, the Absolute Humanoid Being and Absolute Dragonic Being devised a plan to create clones—beings born from their own power, yet distinct in purpose.

Step 1: The Illusion Magic
The first step in the creation of the clones was to craft powerful illusion magic. This magic was unlike any other in the multiverse. It was born from the very essence of their beings—the Absolute Humanoid Being's mastery over the shadow and the Absolute Dragonic Being's control over destruction. They merged their powers to form a magic that could create illusions so powerful that they would appear as real as any tangible being.
The illusions were not mere projections of light or shadow. They were fully formed constructs, capable of interacting with the environment and creating tangible effects. The Absolute Humanoid Being and Absolute Dragonic Being poured their immense power into these illusions, ensuring they were detailed and authentic. The clones would not simply be empty vessels—they would have the ability to think, feel, and act with the precision of their creators.

Step 2: Materialization and Physical Bodies
Once the illusions were perfected, the next step was to give them physical bodies. This was a delicate process, as the clones needed to be born with the essence of the originals, yet retain their own individual form. The Absolute Humanoid Being and Absolute Dragonic Being used their powers of creation to bring the illusions into a tangible reality. The clones were no longer mere magical constructs—they became living beings, each with their own existence, yet deeply connected to their creators.
The clones were designed to mimic their creators' forms, yet subtly different. The clone of Absolute Humanoid Being took on a more ethereal appearance, with a radiance that seemed to shimmer like shadow and light intertwined. The clone of Absolute Dragonic Being, while still a dragon, had a more fluid and agile form, representing the power of destruction in its most precise, controlled state.

Step 3: Bestowing 5% Power
Though the clones were now living beings, they were not meant to surpass the power of their creators. Instead, the Divine Triad decided to limit the clones' power to only 5% of the original's immense might. While this seemed like a fraction of their true potential, it was by design. The clones would be equipped with maximum focus, control, and agility, ensuring they could carry out their missions with incredible efficiency, even if they lacked the sheer overwhelming strength of their creators.
This decision reflected the balance the Divine Triad had always sought. Power without control was chaos, and control without power was stagnation. With the clones' abilities honed to perfection in terms of precision and focus, they would be able to carry out their missions in ways that their creators themselves might not be able to.

The First Clones: Exploring the Abyss
The first clones, those of the Absolute Humanoid Being and Absolute Dragonic Being, were sent on a dangerous mission to explore the abyss. This was a realm that even the mightiest beings feared to tread, a place where the constellations and their minions lurked in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
Though their power was limited to only 5%, the clones were far from weak. With their focus and agility at their peak, they navigated the dangerous abyss with ease, defeating countless constellations and their legions. Each battle was a test of the clones' skill, for they had to rely not on raw power but on their strategic minds and unmatched control over their abilities. The clone of Absolute Humanoid Being manipulated shadows with perfect precision, while the clone of Absolute Dragonic Being wielded destruction in perfect harmony with their surroundings.
Their mission was one of reconnaissance and conquest. The abyss was a place of chaos, and only through understanding its deepest secrets could they prevent any future incursions into the multiverse. The clones encountered terrifying foes—beasts that could tear through reality itself, and constellations whose power defied logic. Yet, with their skill and mastery over their abilities, they emerged victorious.

The Second Clones: Living Among Humans on Earth
Meanwhile, the second clones, again of the Absolute Humanoid Being and Absolute Dragonic Being, were sent to Earth. Their mission was less about battle and more about observation—about understanding the essence of humanity and family. These clones were given human bodies, perfectly formed to blend into society. They took on new identities, living among humans and experiencing the joys and struggles of life as mortals.
The clone of Absolute Humanoid Being took on the role of a mentor, guiding those around them with wisdom and grace, while subtly influencing events to maintain balance. The clone of Absolute Dragonic Being, in contrast, lived a simpler life, embracing the physical world and bonding with humans through more tangible means. Both clones reveled in their human experiences, understanding emotions, relationships, and the fleeting nature of mortal existence.
As they interacted with their families, friends, and communities, the clones began to grasp the deeper meanings of life. It was an experiment in empathy and connection—something even the Divine Triad had not fully explored. Despite their immense power and divine origins, the clones experienced the world in ways that were distinctly human—and in doing so, they began to question their roles as immortal beings.

The Balance Between the Two Worlds
The Divine Triad observed their creations closely, knowing that both sets of clones would offer valuable insights into the nature of power, control, and mortality. The clones' journeys in the abyss would provide essential knowledge about the forces that sought to disrupt the multiverse, while their experiences on Earth would help them understand the importance of human connection and balance.
Ultimately, the clones were not just instruments of power; they were experiments in understanding the very essence of existence. They were born from the Absolute Humanoid Being and Absolute Dragonic Being's desire to evolve, to grow beyond mere beings of overwhelming strength, and to learn from those they had created.

This chapter sets the stage for the Divine Triad to explore deeper philosophical and existential themes, with the clones providing valuable insights into both the chaotic and peaceful aspects of existence. The Divine Triad's creations are now living examples of their desire to balance power with control, destruction with creation, and immortality with the experiences of mortal life.
