Even with 64 blood clones, the pain of division, the life force cost of division, and the loss of life force to maintain the state were significant. But it was worth it because he could maintain it indefinitely, and his escape potential had been maximized.
64 blood clones meant that each one possessed 1.56% of his life force. The loss of one of them wouldn't be felt much.
Apart from the pain he would experience from the destruction of his blood clones, their elimination would actually improve his control of the rest and increase his chances of making them escape.
As long as one of the 64 can escape. That one will be able to turn back into his true form and survive. Of course, if only one escapes, that will mean he had sacrificed 98.44% of his life force for the chance of survival.
It is a worthy exchange for survival in his books. It is just too close for comfort.
After he reached this point, he did it again to ensure that there was no mistake. Then he lay on the ground naked and slept off.
He was just too tired. He slept for nine hours before he woke up. When he did, he immediately tried to enter the two of destiny.
His mind was able to focus on the image of the Tower of Destiny and succeeded in one go. He saw the large white tower made of bricks of information. The bricks enlarged in front of him until he could see the words they contained. These words made up his destiny report.
The first thing he did was to assign his free temporary destiny to his Mind attribute. His fan count has increased from 657 to 701. So he has gained 44 new fans in the four days since his last game.
These new 44 fans are worth 6,952 since he has a kill count of 158. That made his Mind attribute increase from 17,082 to 24,034. It is a 40.7% increase to his mind that will increase the power of his Life Core ability and the control of its specific abilities.
His focus also increased. It is now more than his stamina and on its way to dethrone his total health pool as his largest resources.

A lot has changed since his last game. His mind has stopped being his least important attribute. It has become larger than Endurance and has almost overtaken Constitution. It is now 21.96% of his total power.
Just a few moments ago, his Mind attribute accounted for 16.46% of his total power. The increase of 5.5% is significant. But the amount of 21.96% is nowhere near people like the Count and Thorin, who put about 50% of their total power in their Mind attribute.
He can't emulate them since he has more than one attribute. But he can increase the power of his mind to 30% so that his Mind Domination Network ability, Life Core ability, and Extraordinary Perception ability will be more powerful and useful.
Speaking of abilities, he has gained two new abilities, and both of them are Omega abilities. Life Steal was already an Omega ability before he stole it and fused it with others, but the two abilities that make up Extraordinary Perception are Alpha and Beta abilities.
The two of them fused and created an anomaly. It is why he could sense the position and danger of a demigod despite being vastly weaker and lacking a clear line of sight to the demigod.
Danger sense didn't need to see something to perceive it. As long as it was dangerous and close to him, he would perceive it.
The source of danger didn't need to be a living thing. It could be a natural phenomenon or the reaction of a non-living thing that would affect him. As long as it was dangerous to him, he would perceive it.
Power Identify, on the other hand, needed to see and could quantify its threat. The two of them enhanced themselves to the extent that he didn't need to see the people around him to quantify their threat, and he would see whoever was dangerous around him regardless of their power and his power.
So Extraordinary Perception is the first Omega ability that he created himself. It cost him 150 million dollars and 170 game points to get.
He didn't need to risk his life directly, but he did risk his life acquiring the money and game points he spent to get it. It made him wonder which one was better, stealing an omega ability directly or creating one.
He shook his head and said, "Stealing is better. Those who work hard for something can't compare to those who steal it."
Objectively, he only spent 80 game points to acquire Life Steal. That was just the cost of opening a new slot. If he removed this cost, then he only had to fight with one person to get Life Steal, while he had to work hard as a bounty hunter for many months before he could afford Extraordinary Perception.
So in terms of time and effort, Extraordinary Perception is clearly not worth it. But in terms of danger, Life Steal was very dangerous. He could have even died in the process of getting it.
