That afternoon, Solomon's original body left the Apartment alone and headed to a deserted, open area on the outskirts of the city.
With no one to spy on him and no buildings blocking the way, it was an ideal place to test and hone his abilities.
After breaking through to level 3 energy, all his superpowers had undergone a qualitative transformation, far beyond what they had been at level 2.
The limits, strength, and endurance of his many abilities had all reached new ceilings, waiting to be tested and adapted to.
The first ability Solomon tested was Self-Duplication. Its control range had continued to break past its limits as his energy level rose.
At level 1 energy, his control radius had been just three hundred meters. At level 2, it had shot up to three thousand meters. Now that he had broken through to level 3, the range had made another tremendous leap, reaching thirty thousand meters-a full thirty kilometers of coverage.
As long as they stayed within that thirty-kilometer radius, all his duplicates were under his original body's complete control, their movements synchronized with his thoughts.
It was not just the range. The maximum number of duplicates had also risen dramatically, though Solomon had never deliberately tested that limit.
Ever since unlocking this ability, he had followed the principle of making only as many as he needed, never producing duplicates in bulk.
After all, once created, duplicates could not be taken back. They could only remain scattered in various places on standby. Having too many would instead become cumbersome baggage and make it easy to leave openings.
A control radius of thirty kilometers was neither particularly long nor particularly short, but it was enough to cover the entire city.
This meant that he only needed to stand quietly in
