I see ! So Bradley is acually one person, and his othey bodies are more like Naruto clones he remotely controls and can transfer to when needed. Do they have the same abilities and intelligence ? What are they capable of compared to him ? How does he ensure that they obediently follow his instructions ? Are they like his technomagical constructs, hardcoded to serve him ? So on the very off chance he were to be physically and mentally destroyed, he would simply "grow back" from Terra Ultima as long as the city exists ?

Well, depite its technical perfection and "100% real data" basis, the matrix remains a virtual place, so materializing part of still requires resources. It's kind of a downer sometimes, but I've grown attached to this "law of conservation" limit, just like the "empirical data" one. Makes it more relatable and interesting, and the omniverse is a big place anyway, there's bound to be no shortage of baren planes to harvest for Selforge's durable expansion.
