Demon Lord's Real Body

'Interesting! Humans' way of gaining strength is completely different from mine.'

Inside a large void where no matter, star, or any other being lived, there was a small child who looked no older than three years old.

Of course, this child could transform into any age, but chose not to. He wanted to experience growth, even if it wasn't the same type of growth as others.

This child was just floating in the void, with a large screen in front of him, showing everything Alan was going through.

This was Alan's true body, and the teenage Alan was just a clone he created to enter the Earth.

After all, he knew he was just a baby Demon Lord. He might be nigh invincible inside the void, but outside, that might not be the case.

So, he created a clone out of his mana and sent it to the Earth.

'Hmm! So, they absorb Dimensional Energy, which seems different from Mana that I have. But I don't have that kind of obvious ranking. Let's see what the System has to say about this.'

"System, reconfigure my current stats to the people of the Earth!"

A soft voice came out of his mouth. The next second, a new panel appeared in front of the screen, showing a strange list of powers and stats.

[System Creator- Alan

Identity- Demon Lord

Void Power Level- Nigh Invincible

Earth Power Level- Diamond Rank

Universal Power Level- Moon Buster Level

Inventory- None]

Looking at this panel, Alan rolled his baby eyes. Because he didn't need the system's help to know this.

He had a near-omniscient level of knowledge inside the void. Even the system was created by him at his birth to help him better control his powers.

"System, show me the stats of my clone!" Alan spoke with an annoyed tone.

[System Creator- Alan

Identity- Demon Lord Clone

Earth Power Level- Diamond Rank

Innate Ability- Energy Transfer, Energy Transformation

Inherited Powers- Nine Elemental Lotus Core, Soul Transfiguration, Teleportation, Telekinesis, Elemental Manipulation

Self-Created Powers- Nine Elemental Chaos Art

Inventory- Souls*15]

Looking at his clone's inventory, Alan smiled and swept his hand. Suddenly, fifteen souls appeared in front of him.

While these souls looked similar to their bodies, they were light green and were invisible to normal people's eyes.

Now that he had these souls, he could try something new.

He raised his palm, and those souls began to spiral above him. While they were spinning, they were screaming in agony.

But Alan simply ignored their voice and turned them into a green crystal ball.

Then, he instantly ate that crystal ball.

As soon as he ate that crystal, he closed his eyes and entered a strange state.

A large amount of mana gathered around his body and started moving strangely, sometimes like waves, sometimes like quakes.

After a moment, the mana started to calm down, and Alan opened his eyes. He raised his finger, and a drop of blood came out of his finger, followed by fourteen more drops of blood.

Not only that, his clone's panel had changed as well.

[System Creator- Alan

Identity- Demon Lord Clone

Earth Power Level- Diamond Rank

Innate Ability- Energy Transfer, Energy Transformation

Inherited Powers- Nine Elemental Lotus Core, Soul Transfiguration, Teleportation, Telekinesis, Elemental Manipulation

Self-Created Powers- Nine Elemental Chaos Art, Blood Guidance Art

Inventory- Demon Lord's Blood*15]

Yes, in just a few minutes, Alan created a new power that allowed him to turn a large amount of soul power into his blood.

The Blood Guidance Art relied on his ability to transform energy from soul power into blood energy. He did this to transfer some of his power to those children.

Not only could his blood help them awaken a technique, but it would also allow him to control them in case he needed their help in the future.

............…

"So, what are your names?"

Looking at eight children in front of him, Alan asked.

"Sir Demon Lord, my name is Ryan." A tall kid with blue hair and purple pupils spoke. His appearance made Alan believe that this kid was unique.

"Sir Demon Lord, my name is Carol." A girl wearing a grey skirt and a t-shirt spoke. She was shorter than most kids but had a round face that made her look cute.

"Sir Demon Lord, my name is Aros." Another kid introduced himself.

"Sir Demon Lord, my name is Clan."

"Sir Demon Lord, my name is Atlas."

When Alan heard that name, he nodded. He could see the height and body shape of this guy. He could call himself a small giant.

"Sir Demon Lord, my name is Cassie."

"Sir Demon Lord, my name is Dan."

"Sir Demon Lord, my name is Frank."

After noting their names, he also remembered their appearances. Except for Ryan and Atlas, the other kids were closer in height and body shape.

Carol was the shortest, while Cassie was only an inch taller than her.

More importantly, their clothes and appearance weren't that great. They did come from an orphanage in this war-torn world.

So, Alan didn't mind their appearance. Instead, he was curious how his mana would interact with the so-called Cosmic Energy.

He believed Dimensional Energy was just a name for the Cosmic Energy because he was given the ability to absorb all kinds of energy, and the Cosmic Energy was the energy present in this universe.

At this moment, Alan had taken them outside the city, where there was no one watching them. So, he could start his experiment.

He took out a drop of blood from his fingertip and said.

"Ryan, come here and drink it!"

Ryan was a bit disgusted by the sight of blood, but he still nodded. He knew this was a chance their grandfather had begged to get.

The Old Man who managed the orphanage was no different than their grandfather or even a parent.

Not only did he give them food and a place to stay. He would also protect them whenever they were in danger.

The population of the orphanage would shift every single time because of the constant arrival of Alien hunts.

He walked in front of Alan and opened his mouth.

Alan swept the drop of blood to his mouth and watched the reaction.

The moment it entered his mouth, Ryan felt a violent energy coming off that blood.

It was so intense that he fell to his knees and started screaming.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The other children held each other's arms and looked at Ryan's condition in fear. They didn't cry since they had seen much worse, but they were frightened for sure.

While Ryan was screaming, his body was letting off a large amount of steam. His blood vessels were bulging, and his body began to change.

A golden light emerged from his body, blinding those children while Alan remained unaffected.

More importantly, when this golden light appeared, Ryan's eyes began to process a strange piece of information that was being stored in his memories.

As time passed, a large tornado gathered around his body, large enough to raise a car or a cow.

But it didn't affect anyone else. It was kept pouring into Ryan's body.

This tornado was made out of Cosmic Energy, and it was merging with his body, increasing his lifespan and physical aspect of his body.

In just a few minutes, he went from a kid with no power to a person with a lifespan of over 200 years.

At the same time, his skin also changed a little, turning red for a few seconds before disappearing.

'Hmm! If I am correct, that was the appearance of one's bone and muscles being tempered by Cosmic Energy a hundred times to achieve Bone Rank.'

'So, this kid went from a mortal to Bone Rank Superhero in a matter of a few minutes. Was that soul that potent? No, it shouldn't be that. It should be my mana that fully awakened his potential and improved it.'

'Considering that he didn't show any sort of abilities during his awakening, I can assume that what he awakened was a Technique.'

'System, show me Ryan's stats!'
