The one true Commandment of Bahlavan. In exchange for the binding of "Continuing to fight without the dread of loneliness", he gets "Being able to create alter egos not one tiny bit different from oneself" as a boon.

Once he becomes alone, as the strongest existence in the universe, wouldn't he only find infinite boredom? If that's the case, isn't the "strongest" an extremely nihilistic concept, devoid of all meaning? To this issue, which is always following around those aiming for the top, Bahlavan produced a certain answer: "To continue fighting oneself, to continue exceeding oneself".

Because this is a Commandment established within his deep psyche/unconscious mind, Bahlavan himself has absolutely no self awareness about it. However, because he certainly possesses resolution, even at the present stage, if certain conditions are fullfilled, this Commadment will be invoked. And that is once Bahlavan meets the same kind of existence that he is.

In the situation in which he fights an enemy that he considers to be "close to oneself" in the physical and spiritual planes, his self-propagation will begin, precisely because the situation would have become a simulation of the state of affairs of there being no one but Bahlavan in the universe.

His multiple existences, appearing in this ocassion as a swarm, are all the real deal. Thinking, power, as well as growth speed, there's absolutely no difference in all of these aspects, and all of them, as genuine Bahlavan's, aim to be the strongest, and will start a battle royale, trying to swallow the enemies standing against them, in a display that can't be called anything but absurd. However, the Bahlavan's aren't capable of recognizing their alter egos, and because of that, they will seek only a 1 versus 1 confrontation, the reason for why will be presented below.

Because it is maximum excitement and exaltation which has given birth to this swarm, Bahlavan enters some kind of trance while this Commandment is active. Because there are absolutely no differences in between the alter egos and the main body, he can't understand the fact of having multiplied through sensible input. It is a system which Bahlavan, still in a half dreaming state, won't be able to truly become aware of until he has accomplished his universal extermination.

Ultimately, at the stage of dry run, what this Commandment means is something hard to understand. The "strongest", the "top", the nothingness he will arrive to at the end, how does one fight and achieve victory? He has already arrived at the answer for this questions, as mentioned above. Thus, with basis on instinctual understanding, battle royale is established, but currently, he's not able to understand this with his own intellect. According to the Bahlavan's own subjectivity, the number of attacks would increase for some reason, and they will receive mysterious, inexplicable damage. However, it is fun. Because Bahlavan is right now surely pushing forward through the path towards his dream, he'll think later. No, there's no need for things such as thinking. To harbour questions regarding one's path is but the hesitation of weaklings, therefore, that's irrelevant to me.

In the past, Bahlavan's activated swarm reached the point where he could multiply his limbs to those of two or three people, however, in his fight against Magsarion, he's been able to create 4 full bodies of himself in complete form. That is, just from getting excited, there's absolutely no numerical limit to these alter egos, from a theoretical standpoint.
