Chapter 165: [Forest Stories!]
[Morpheus’ POV!]
.
.
I don’t know how to explain this, but… being a clone; I felt little difference. I felt like I was Adam Wesker as usual and I can do anything I want without the interference of anyone else.
The only time that I felt I wasn’t the real body was when I was around him. Other than that, I was pretty much normal. Heck, even I might get confused who is the real one among us given how powerful this skill was.
I tried using the [Clone!] skill, but it doesn’t work. Though I expected it, it was kind of a bummer.
However, I can still use the ring to create other clones if I want to.
The real body gave me this ring, thinking that I could find more use of it than he could. I mean, he already has the [Clone!] skill, and there was Wesker who can use as many clones as he wants using the arrays, so that left me at a bit of a disadvantage.
Especially because we were restricting ‘Morpheus’ to only dark, death, and black magic. Along with curse and sword usage. He was also a battle mage who can use fists. Need I mention it?
‘All that 20% crap is still funny though given I was using 100% of my power all the time,’ I sighed as even though I succeeded in creating those bluffs, I really wished that were true, to be honest.
‘At least, I am handsome.’ I was thankful for that.

I was totally going to get laid once we reached the dark society. Hopefully, there will be some chicks there… hopefully…
“You seem to be in deep thought,” a sweet melodious voice came from behind, as I turned around to find one of the chicks that I was talking about.
She was a little old, around 40s, though that just means more ‘experienced’ one, so I will take that as a plus point.
Her beauty didn’t fade, and those two jugs… gulp… were all right. There were a lot of plus points there.
“Something about the Inverse World,” I spoke as I looked at Irene, who had just followed me here, before both of us began walking deep into the forest.
“I have heard a little about the Inverse World. Wasn’t it a place where those among the Gods committed sins, go? Even Gods fear that place as far as I have known,” she began talking more about the topic that I just threw out of nowhere.
“Purgatory,” I mumbled, making her look at me with slight interest.
“Purgatory?” She asked.
“It’s a part of the Inverse World. Occupies 20% of the place and holds most of the prisons there. That’s the place where the prisoners of gods go,” I corrected her based on the knowledge I could collect in the previous runs.
I wasn’t just focusing on defeating the scenario that was presented in front of me, but also trying to get as much information as possible. Who knows when I might need it?
“What about the rest?” She asked again. Her interest peaked quite a lot with all this information…
“You tell me. Why should I tell you about things that are exclusive to me?” I smiled as I looked at her with a slight flirtatious smile, while she chuckled as she answered,
“All right. Then how about I tell you something that is exclusive to me?” She asked in the same tone that I did.
“I like the sound of it. Though, it’s better to talk about it later. We got some more things to handle here right now,” I spoke as we both reached towards the center of the forest where Trisha and Nvida were standing with the rest of the elves.
Turning her head, she too saw them and then smiled at Nvida, the dryad of this forest.
Nvida was also a part of the World Order, though her rank was one less than Irene, so Irene was her superior here.
The main problem, however, was that Trisha, Nvidia’s ‘best friend’, did not know that at all. So if the truth comes out, there is a high chance that Trisha might distance herself from Nvida, or worse, just kill her right off the bat.
“Trisha. I have a message from Wesker. ‘Since all is done, and I have fulfilled my promise, I hope you can lower your guard against me a little. There was something I wanted to discuss with you in private. Come meet me in my shop a few days later,’ ” I made up some shit again, making her nod before she looked at Irene.
“With that out of the way. Would it be alright if I talk with Nvida in private? Ah! Irene, you also come with me since there is something I need to tell you too,” I spoke as I began walking a bit away from the group.
“Morpheus!” Trisha called me immediately before I could run away. I saw her face for a couple of seconds before she spoke.
“These elves wanted to say something,” Trisha added as she pointed at them.
“Thank you for saving us!!!!” Those elves shouted as they bowed and I just nodded before speaking.
“It’s all right. No need to thank us for doing something we would have done, anyway. We didn’t do it for anything in return.” I spoke some heroic bullshit again before turning away as I started walking.
Those elves were probably mesmerized based on their expression that I took a note of. Even Trisha and Nvida were looking at me in a rather positive light right now.
“Aren’t you a charmer?” Irene laughed a little as she tucked her arm around mine while we walked away from the rest of the group. Nvida followed behind us slowly, keeping a bit of a distance, while she listened to our conversation.
‘Well. Seems like most of the things are done here as well. I wonder how ‘Wesker’ and ‘Adam’ are handling things at their ends,’ I thought as I kept walking with a joyful smile on my face.
