The capability to form a clone wasn't an exclusive or never before heard of ability within the ranks of Paragons or Hegemonies.
In most instances though, it was an ability that could only create something half as strong as the Original, and the few that could do it didn't focus on such an area of their ability as the mana requirement to call forth a clone at the same stage of a Universe were simply too taxing!
So many Hegemonies focused on other aspects of their power, but they had their eyes open as they glanced at the image of Valentina's second clone crossing the Universal barrier as she thundered towards the figure of the calm Chronos once more.
Towards the lifeform that had reincarnated too many times and thought he knew everything, but this development of Valentina that should have never been a possibility was now plaguing him along with a certain problematic Paragon!
