A few years ago, which is not much time for someone like Eilistraea, she found out that Baphomet was sending his essence into many lower level worlds.
Using their essence people can create a clone of themselves. After creating their clone they can plant a wisp of their consciousness into the clone to control it.
The power of the clone depends on the amount of essence you used while creating it.
With the help of a wisp of consciousness, the clone will be able to move independently. You can give it general instructions and it will act the way you instructed it. Since the clone is made of your essence and consciousness, you can even control it by yourself.
Baphomet was using his essence to create many clones and was sending them to many lower level worlds.
After knowing Baphomet was sending his clones into the lower level worlds she was curious.
The reason for her curiosity was that, in truth sending your essence clone into lower level world is useless.
Even with their clones, people who are above S rank can’t enter into lower level worlds.
If a person with a higher level sent his clone into lower level world, that clone will be sent into a dungeon of that world instead of directly appearing into that world.
After appearing in the dungeon, that clone will be destroyed by the rules of the dungeon.
Even if that clone survives somehow, it will not be able to leave that dungeon and will just turn into another monster of that dungeon.
She knew Baphomet is not an idiot, and there must be a reason why he is sending his clones into the dungeons of lower level worlds.
She wanted to know what is he trying to do, so she also thought about sending her clone into one of the worlds where Baphomet sent his clone, to see if there is something different in that world.
But just like what happened normally, her clone was sent into a dungeon of that world and she lost her connection with it after that.
Even though her clone was not destroyed by the rules of the dungeon, she knew it turned into a mindless monster of that dungeon.
Before sending her clone, she thought she will find something different in the worlds where Baphomet sent his clones, and she might be able to enter in that world using her clone.
But after what happened to her clone, she confirmed that those worlds are the same as others and people can’t enter there even with their clones.
After knowing those worlds are the same as the other worlds, she became even more curious as to why he was sending his clones to those worlds.
After thinking she reached at two conclusions.
First, somehow Baphomet can ignore the rules of the world and his clones can enter the lower level worlds without being sent into the dungeons.
Second, his clones are still sent into the dungeon, but he is somehow able to preserve their ego and they did not turn into mindless monsters after being sent into the dungeon.
She knew the chances of her first conclusion being true are quite low since it is not easy to ignore the laws of the worlds.
But even after reaching at these conclusions, she wasn’t able to guess the proper reason why Baphomet is sending his clones into lower level worlds.
Honestly, there is just one reason why she wanted to know what Baphomet is trying to do.
And that reason is – she is bored
She is bored because she has nothing else to do.
To relieve her boredom she started to find out what Baphomet is trying to do.
In past when she reached at the conclusion that Baphomet can somehow ignore the rule of the dungeon she was not even surprised.
It might be a very big deal for other people but she just treated it like a regular event.
Very few things can surprise a person like her who is alive for thousands of years. After leaving for so long Eilistraea believed there will not be anything in this world that will surprise her anymore.
But after absorbing the essence that just came back she was not surprised, she was actually shocked to her core.
There were many things that were wrong with the essence that came back.
Like its quantity was not even one tenth of the original essence that she sent into the lower level world. Or the fact that the essence was in very bad shape, it was like someone completely destroyed it with brute force.
But she was not shocked because of the missing amount of the essence or the fact that it was in very bad shape.
She was shocked because of one of the scenes she saw through the essence.
Since most of the essence was missing and the essence she received was in very bad shape, she was just able to see very few memories of her clone.
Eilistraea saw all this time her clone did nothing and just sat in the same place. freewёbnoνel.com
But in one of the memories she saw her clone fighting against three black coloured monsters.
Generally, she would have never paid any attention to those three monsters because she can kill monsters like them with just a flick of her finger.
But the reason she was shocked was because of their look.
Just by looking at the black hippo, panther and cyclops, she recognised what they were.
“Shadow undeads” Eilistraea muttered in a trembling voice.
She tried to see if there was anything else in the memories she received, but she wasn’t able to find anything other than some scenes where her clone fought against three shadow undeads.
“How is this possible?” Eilistraea felt her mind going blank for the first time in thousands of years and her body trembled.
“It can’t be real, there is definitely something wrong. He is already dead and there is no way someone else can create them” Eilistraea started to speak like she was trying to convince herself.
But then she thought about Baphomet and her eyes trembled.
“Could it be the reason Baphomet is sending his clones into different worlds is related to this?” Eilistraea said and narrowed her eyes.
“I was not planning to barge there uninvited but looks like now I don’t have a choice” The next second Eilistraea disappeared from her place leaving behind the giant tree of life alone.
