When the time comes, George can have each of his major clones manifest a vast multitude of "minor avatars" to venture into the Primordial Chaos.
These minor avatars wouldn't need significant power, but they would need overwhelming numbers. Only with sufficient numbers would there be a chance of locating the other clones within the boundless, infinite chaos while simultaneously "sweeping for mines" to clear away potential dangers.
Once the coordinates of the major clones are secured and the hazards along the routes are identified, they can consolidate their actions and merge into a single entity.
Furthermore, these minor avatars can serve as scouts to discover new worlds within the chaos. Now that the main body is sealed, he can no longer split his soul to leave the Marvel Universe and seed new clones in fresh worlds. If he wishes to continue learning the laws of different universes, devouring new worlds, and rapidly increasing his strength, he must rely on his own exploration.
In a way, this was a blessing in disguise. Reliance on oneself is always better than reliance on others. The main body's cloning ability originated from Grandmaster Hongjun; it wasn't his own innate power, and there was always the risk it could be reclaimed one day. Developing a replacement method and opening new worlds through his own efforts was a much more secure path.
If a minor avatar finds a new world while searching for the other clones, it can transmit the coordinates and covertly infiltrate. This allows George to study new power systems and expand the laws of his multiverse. Later, when the clones finally converge, the nearest one can descend upon that new world.
If the world has a master, the decision to devour it will depend on the owner's attitude. If it is masterless, he will simply assimilate it, adding a new realm to his own growing multiverse. Should he have the luck to find worlds comparable to Marvel or the Great Desolation, his potential would become even more staggering. With enough avatars, he might find multiple worlds simultaneously—a far more efficient process than the main body's old method of generating one clone at a time.
Fourth, and finally, there is the deep exploration of the Great Desolation (Honghuang) world. If the clone in that world reaches the strength of a Saint, the individual strength of every other clone will rise to that level as well. When they eventually merge, the main body's individual power would be equivalent to a dozen Saints combined. At that point, breaking the Living Tribunal's seal—or even breaking the Living Tribunal's skull—would be a trivial matter.
Of course, becoming a Saint is no easy feat. But one must have dreams; what if they actually come true?
With his plans set, the various clones began their move.
Expansion Across the Multiverse
In the Fairy Tail world, the Multiversal-level George clone devoured and fused all four sub-worlds of that universe into his internal multiverse in one breath. This instantly boosted his internal count to six worlds, making him a "Six-World Multiversal" powerhouse.
Next was the clone in the Harry Potter world. He similarly absorbed the world gifted to him by that universe's Creator. His internal count rose to seven. With his current strength, he was finally able to fulfill his promise and heal the Harry Potter Creator's injuries, which he did without hesitation.
Despite his desperation to save his main body, George maintained his moral compass. He refused to use his superior strength to forcibly devour the worlds of friendly Creators like those of the Harry Potter or Middle-earth universes. Instead, he chose to exchange knowledge and progress alongside them. He recognized that his rapid growth through "shortcuts" had left his foundation somewhat unstable. These Creators had reached their levels step-by-step; by learning from them, he could solidify his foundation for future breakthroughs.
In the Academy City (A Certain Magical Index) world, George suppressed all Magic Gods and True Gremlins. He discovered that a Creator no longer existed there—or rather, the Creator had long since perished, leaving the world suspended aimlessly in the chaos. Consequently, he had no qualms about assimilating this world into his multiverse. His count rose to eight.
In the Cardcaptor Sakura world, George stepped outside the boundaries of the universe to find the Creator, Mokona. This was a Multiversal being who had created over a dozen worlds. Mokona was extremely friendly and powerful, and the two quickly became friends, exchanging insights into their respective laws.
The Type-Moon world was more complex, consisting of two major branches—Fate and Tsukihime—along with various timelines. Its Creator possessed strength equivalent to a ten-world Multiversal being. When George located him, the Creator was anything but friendly, intending to devour George and assimilate his internal worlds instead.
George, naturally, fought back. A titanic battle erupted within the chaos. On paper, George with eight worlds should have been no match for a ten-world opponent. However, while the opponent was a Multiversal being in terms of "world-scale," his individual body was not particularly robust. George, however, was a Multiversal-level combatant himself. Combined with his mastery of diverse power systems, spells, and combat techniques from multiple universes, he managed to utterly crush the opponent. George's count jumped from eight to eighteen worlds.
In the League of Legends world, George found the celestial dragon, Aurelion Sol. He assisted the Star Forger in defeating the Targonians and reclaiming his stolen power. Though League consisted of only one world, its sheer energy density and intensity were comparable to a ten-world multiverse. Once restored to his full power, Aurelion Sol possessed the strength of a ten-world Creator. Out of gratitude, Sol shared all his celestial knowledge and even sacrificed half of his world's fundamental essence to help George bolster his own. While George remained at eighteen worlds, the quality and energy density of these worlds now surpassed those of a standard twenty-plus world multiverse.
Finally, there was the Elder Scrolls world. This was another high-intensity universe where the Daedric Princes essentially governed their own independent realms. The original Creator of this world was functionally absent. George seized the opportunity to assimilate this reality, but he didn't take it all. Since the Eight Divines (led by Akatosh) and certain Daedra were amicable, he only targeted the hostile, evil Daedric Princes. He eliminated twelve Princes and devoured their realms.
By the end of this campaign, George had become a Multiversal being with thirty worlds. Furthermore, his thirty worlds were significantly more powerful than those of a standard being of the same rank. Through his dialogues with the Divines and friendly deities, he had amassed a wealth of knowledge far beyond his previous limits.
