CHAPTER 870: CHAPTER 523: COVERING THE SKY WITH ONE HAND (PART 2)

But it’s quite enough on Earth.

Anyway, if a shadow clone is gone, it can be recreated immediately, using up star power without any cost.

"I wonder if upgrading the shadow clone again would allow star power recovery?" Ji Xinghuo opened the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface, looking at the 5.11 million spiritual origin energy required for upgrading the shadow clone to the sixth level, and felt a bit of a headache.

The Solar Eclipse Ability’s electromagnetic polarization, from the seventh level to the eighth level, doesn’t even need this much spiritual origin energy, only 3.35 million.

Yet the shadow clone remains a transcendent ability.

Ridiculous!

Ji Xinghuo shook his head while creating a second shadow clone.

The first shadow clone immediately took off, reaching only supersonic speed on Earth, flying in the most star power-saving way.

A rebellion broke out in the Dalovida Republic, and this shadow clone was rushing over there.

Soon, the second and third shadow clones were also created.

Both flew toward the Indi Kingdom.

Jiu You clung to him endlessly, and the King of Annihilation absorbed dark energy. With Ji Xinghuo’s current star power cultivation, for any other sixth-rank mutant, after star power is depleted, it would take at least a dozen hours or even longer to recover.

However, Ji Xinghuo possessed the King of Annihilation, two Ether Resonances, an Ethereal Exquisite Heart, and the Ether Resonance from the Light Ring.

It only took him about 7 minutes to recover his star power to its full state.

Star power depleted and then recovered.

In this cycle, shadow clones were created one after another, each with a hundred thousand star power.

After more than half an hour, the number of shadow clones reached the limit of 16.

Ji Xinghuo sent all the shadow clones out, most were distributed in the Indi Kingdom and the Dalovida Republic, with one guarding the Bhopal Star Gate in the center of the South Asian subcontinent, and two entering the Bengal Federation.

Within 500 kilometers of each shadow clone, there’s at least another shadow clone, thus forming a transmission network covering the entire South Asian subcontinent.

An instant teleportation takes about a second.

In just a few seconds, Ji Xinghuo could switch to the shadow clone closest to the incident location and then fly to the destination.

In fact.

Most of the time, his real body wasn’t needed as the shadow clones could handle it.

Gradually, many people discovered that Ji Xinghuo seemed to be omnipresent in the South Asian subcontinent, a minute ago he was killing enemies in New Balat, the next minute he appeared in Mumbai, suppressing hundreds of Brahma King followers.

Just after dealing with the Indi Kingdom’s matters, there was another situation in Hyderabad, and Ji Xinghuo arrived in a few minutes.

On many occasions, Ji Xinghuo appeared in multiple places simultaneously.

The upper echelon of the Asia-Pacific Community was the first to notice this, and each Heavenly King was astounded by this method.

Even the leader couldn’t help but inquire.

After learning it was Ji Xinghuo’s clones, everyone was astonished.

Everyone knows about shadow clones, but they had never seen such exaggerated shadow clones, numerous, powerful, indistinguishable from the real body, could last so long, deployed over a range of thousands of kilometers.

"Magnificent!"

Ji Daosheng was very pleased after understanding privately from Ji Xinghuo.

This meant that Ji Xinghuo alone could match more than a dozen top-tier Heavenly Kings, suppressing the world by himself!

The unification process would be held with greater control and could proceed faster.

One day and night.

From the afternoon of March 25 to the evening of the next day, the entire situation on the South Asian subcontinent was completely stabilized.

Ji Xinghuo couldn’t remember how many enemies he had killed, anyway, there had been hours of no enemy daring to emerge in the Indi Kingdom and the Dalovida Republic, and the governments and armies of the two countries had full control.

In international diplomacy, the Asia-Pacific Community and the American Federation clashed intensely.

Condemnation, protest, accountability, statement, rebuttal...

Every diplomatic tool was used, with extremely harsh wording, even to the point of being abusive.

Countries worldwide picked sides one after another.

Except for a few staunch allies of the Asia-Pacific Community, most countries expressed opposition, including the New Roman Empire, which also implicitly criticized the Asia-Pacific Community’s actions as crossing boundaries and not respecting the sovereignty of South Asian countries.

In contrast, the Seven South Asian countries issued support statements, but at this point, the pawn’s stance was no longer important.

Ji Xinghuo had no interest in the diplomatic war of words and international opinion.

Nor did he care.

The things that couldn’t be gained on the battlefield couldn’t be obtained at the negotiating table either.

Diplomatic confidence comes from the comprehensive strength of a nation. This war of words from a distance cannot change anything; the American Federation’s failure to intervene in the South Asian subcontinent at the first opportunity essentially acknowledged the current situation.

After reporting to the leader, Ji Xinghuo was allowed to return home first.

After three teleportations.

His real body arrived near the Bhopal Star Gate, flew into the Star Gate Fortress, which had been entirely taken over by the Asia-Pacific Community’s Star Realm Army.

The originally rotating "Flood" Mostaque Rahman had already been transferred away.

Currently, Luo Baoguo was stationed with two companies, a total of 240 Titanium Cobalt Dragon Men, guarding the Bhopal Star Gate, prohibiting passage.

When Ji Xinghuo entered the Star Gate Fortress, it was a revisit of an old place.

The mutants of the Star Realm Army all turned their gazes upon seeing him.

They did not recognize Ji Xinghuo’s appearance, but they had already received notifications from higher-ups, knowing who this was.

Under the reverent gazes of the Star Realm soldiers, Ji Xinghuo passed through the strict defenses and arrived at the main hall of the Star Gate. The Star Gate was guarded by Titanium Cobalt Dragon Men who wore power armor, with the leader standing over three meters tall, carrying a great sword, resembling a moving fortress.

"Xinghuo."

Luo Baoguo approached and opened his helmet visor, revealing a resolute face that usually had a stern expression but now appeared amicable.

"Captain Luo," Ji Xinghuo responded, "I’m heading back home now."

"Then I won’t see you off."

Luo Baoguo and the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Men watched as Ji Xinghuo entered the Star Gate.

In Star Gate Square in Olympia, Ji Xinghuo’s appearance caused a minor commotion, with someone recognizing his identity, but he quickly entered the Star Gate again, returning to the Chaka Star Gate, and then flew toward Chang’an.

Midway, Ji Xinghuo dismissed the two shadow clones in the South Asian subcontinent with the least remaining star power.

He recreated two shadow clones.

One stayed in Chaka City where the Star Gate was located, and one was placed in Golden City, between the Chaka Star Gate and Chang’an.

This way, it only required two teleportations for the real body to reach the Star Gate.

Then by using the Star Gate to travel to South Asia, or to any continent on Earth.

Speeding through like the wind.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t go to meet the leader; everything that needed to be said and done had already been completed during those one day and night.

He flew directly back to his home on Qinling Mountain.

Entering the villa, he saw his elder sister with her family, Zhao Manying with her family of three, and the An brothers and sisters with several bodyguards, all gathered in the living room watching the news on the screen.

For the past 24 hours, everyone around the world had been focused on the situation in South Asia.

"I’m back."

Ji Xinghuo walked into the living room with a smile and said.

Everyone, seeing his relaxed demeanor, and his spotless appearance, as if he had just returned from a stroll, was utterly unable to associate the person before them with the peerless fighter from the news.

The huge contrast left everyone momentarily stunned.
