Super Template System In Marvel and Beyond-Chapter 200: Fighting against himself

The A.I. that controls the clone is perfect—it's as if everything is calculated. It knows exactly which moves to use and when, whether to attack or defend.

And that's its weakness—because it follows a set pattern.

It lacks the instincts and unpredictability of a human who can think outside the system.

Dave could fight it indefinitely as long as he analyzed its methods, predicting its next move. Once he recognized the repetitive patterns, the battle became easier.

From a general point of view, fighting an A.I. that can perfectly mimic your skills is one of the hardest challenges.

Yet, this was what Dave excelled at.

It had already been over 13 minutes since the battle began, but thanks to Madara's passive skill, which allows for infinite stamina as long as one is in combat gave him plenty of time to think and analyze its patterns.

This was the key to survival—never letting your mind go idle.

Even in battle, the moment you stop thinking, you're as good as dead.

Dave exhaled slowly, his grip tightening around his sword. The clone in front of him mirrored his movements perfectly, as if staring into a reflection that could strike back with the same deadly precision.

The battle had already stretched beyond fifteen minutes, an eternity in combat. Every exchange of blows was like a violent chess match, with neither side gaining a decisive advantage.

But Dave wasn't concerned.

He had already analyzed everything.

"This thing... it's strong, but it's predictable."

The AI-controlled clone had no instincts, no adaptability—it was bound by its calculations, limited to an optimal strategy. It attacked and defended at the perfect times, but that also meant it lacked creativity.

Dave smirked.

"Then I'll do what it can't predict."

—100,000 Army Massacre Sword!

Dave's blade descended like a guillotine, but just before impact, he canceled the skill mid-motion.

The clone, expecting the attack to land, had already begun calculating a counterattack—but now it was exposed.

Dave used Blink.

—Stealth Sword!

His figure vanished instantly, and before the clone could react, a blade sliced through its torso.

Blood sprayed. The clone staggered.

But it wasn't over yet.

—Madara's Crushing Sword!

Dave followed up with a brutal overhead strike, shattering the clone's defenses.

—Frost Spears!

A dozen icy spears materialized in the air, impaling the injured clone before it could recover.

"Checkmate."

The AI-controlled Dave let out a final breath as its body shattered into fragments of light.

"Kuaaaaak!"

The clone screamed with rage as it turned to grey.

[You have won the fight against yourself!]

[You have acquired 1 skill level point from the mission clear reward.]

—[You have unlocked a new title: "One Who Surpasses Himself"]

"No wonder you never tasted failure."

"You have both the intelligence and the strength to use that intelligence perfectly," Sage Sticks said, and Dave nodded.

—[You have overcome your limitations and have taken one step closer to becoming a true Myth.]

—[One of Madra's Descendant's hidden pieces, 'Sealed Ability,' has been acquired.]

"I got good abilities from both of you," Dave said.

Madra and Mumud nodded.

"Yes, Domain Skills are what all true masters possess. You are lucky to have obtained them from us," Madra said as...Mumud added too.

[ They are not that rare every Master possess such skills as Sir Madra said ]

[Skill Point]

Increases the skill level of a specified skill by 1 level ]

" I will save it for later" Dave mumbled as he looked at the next Island.

"Do you want to move on to the next island?" Sticks approached him and asked.

Dave nodded without hesitation.

"I will do that."

There were 36 days left until the National Competition. Before that, Dave planned to conquer all of Behen Archipelago, so he hastened his steps.

[You have entered the 42nd island.]

[You have entered the 43rd island.]

[You have entered the...]

The trials of overcoming himself seemed to have ended. The 42nd to 49th islands consisted of ordinary missions such as monster hunting and boss raids.

"This is comfortable."

The monsters inhabiting the 40s islands weren't weak, but they were far easier compared to fighting his clone. Because of this, Dave's momentum remained unbroken until he finally reached the 50th island.

[You have entered the 50th island.]

[This is a save point. Would you like to register?]

[You have been registered. When you enter the Behen Archipelago later on, you will start from the 50th island.]

"The mobs are over level 360."

Dave finally finding monsters good enough to help him level up.

[You have entered the 51st island.]

[A mission will be created.]

[51st Island]

Defeat 10 golden crowns in 20 minutes.

First Clear Reward: 1,900 Challenger Points.

Green monkeys wearing Golden Crowns jumped down the cliff and attacked Ash.

Dave looking at their number used 100,000 army massacre sword but...

[You have dealt 1 damage to the target.]

"Eh?"

"It says Golden Crown—attack the crowns, they are the real monsters. They are parasites that have taken over the monkeys' bodies," Sticks explained.

Dave nodded and aimed his attacks at the crowns.

"So the crown is the weakness."

While dealing with them, Dave used King's Insight to analyze them.

[Golden Crown]

A parasitic being that uses other monsters as hosts.

Since there is no limit to controlling the host's body, the overall stats are higher than other monsters of the same level.

The host's body becomes invulnerable while controlled.

Golden Crowns emit light to attract monsters, using them as hosts and displaying overwhelming combat power.

Weakness:

Despite their strength, the Golden Crowns have low health compared to other monsters of the same level.
