Mitosis's thirty-two clones surrounded me, their attacks relentless as they pounded on me from all sides. My vision darkened as I took hit after hit, feeling my strength waning and my body battered and bruised. I knew I was about to lose. It was time for my ace in the hole. I picked my new skill from my unlocked skill choice. The choices were:

  

  
• Echoing Idiocy: Creates an echo of your dumbness that mimics your movements and fights alongside you, confusing enemies and providing additional combat support.


  
• Crippling Confusion: A powerful attack that causes the enemy to become severely disoriented, reducing their accuracy and damage output significantly.


  
• Mental Blockade: Empty your mind to grant immunity to all mental attacks for a short duration, allowing you to focus solely on dealing damage.


  
• Idiot's Resolve: Grants an unthinking surge of determination and willpower, allowing you to push through your limits and injuries to turn the tide of battle.


  

  I chose Idiot's Resolve. A surge of dumb power coursed through my veins, and I could feel my determination and willpower skyrocketing. This was it. This was the power I needed to turn the tables on Mitosis.

  With my newfound resolve, I stood tall, my spirit renewed as I faced the onslaught of clones. I activated Blinding Radiance, surrounding myself with a field of blinding luminous idiocy. The clones staggered, their eyes watering as they became blinded and unable to take action. I used this moment to activate Dumb Magnetism, pulling the clones towards me and making them easier to hit.

  I unleashed a flurry of attacks, my fists glowing with dumb energy as I fought with renewed vigor. I took down clone after clone, my movements fueled by my idiot's resolve. Mitosis watched in horror as her clones fell one by one, their forms dissolving into nothingness as they were defeated.

  But Mitosis was not one to give up so easily. She activated Healing Clone, creating a clone that focused on healing her and her remaining clones, restoring their health over time. The healing clone moved swiftly, its touches leaving trails of glowing light that mended the wounds of Mitosis and her clones.

  I knew I had to act fast. I charged at the healing clone, my fist glowing with dumb energy as I unleashed a powerful Dumb Strike. The healing clone staggered, its form beginning to dissipate as it took damage. I followed up with a Confusion Blast, stunning and disorienting the healing clone, preventing it from continuing its healing duties.

  With the healing clone neutralized, I turned my attention back to Mitosis. She tried to counter with Clone Swap, but I was ready for it. I activated Stupid Surge, temporarily increasing my Strength and Dexterity, and with my newfound speed intercepted her mid-swap. I countered with a Mind Wilt, causing Mitosis's brain to wilt and shrivel, dealing massive damage over time.

  Mitosis staggered, her movements becoming sluggish as she struggled to maintain her form. I seized the moment, activating Radiant Blast, emitting a blast of radiant idiocy that dealt massive damage to Mitosis and left her severely confused and disoriented. She attacked random targets, including her own clones, her coordination shattered.

  I continued my assault, unleashing a Dumb Nova, a nova of pure dumbness that dealt massive area-of-effect damage and left Mitosis and her remaining clones severely confused and disoriented. Affected enemies attacked random targets, including their own allies, and I saw clones turning on each other, their coordination shattered.

  Mitosis, seeing that she was overpowered, activated Clone Explosion, causing several of her remaining clones to explode in a burst of energy, dealing area-of-effect damage and leaving me disoriented. I staggered, my vision swimming as I struggled to maintain my footing. But I stood my ground, my resolve unwavering.

  With a final cry of effort, I charged at Mitosis, my fist glowing with the power of a thousand idiots. I unleashed a powerful Dumb Strike, sending her crashing to the ground, defeated. The crowd erupted in cheers as they saw Mitosis's body hit the floor, her clones dissolving into nothingness as their creator fell. I felt a surge of energy coursing through me as I stood victorious, my chest heaving as I caught my breath, my eyes never leaving my fallen opponent.

  I had done it. I had defeated Mitosis and her army of clones. The crowd chanted my name, their voices rising to a deafening roar as they celebrated my incredible victory. I raised my fists in the air, basking in the adulation of the crowd, knowing that I had earned this moment.
