Joel looked at the axolotls swim around in the house he made before starting on the megabase. At the same time, Joel also prepared a few stacks of white terracotta to be sent to The Undergrove by balloon. And while both of these things happened, Joel gathered warped stems from the Nether in preparation for continuing to build the interior of his megabase. And there were a thousand more of him, all doing their own tasks. He passed a shulker box to himself. There was no reason that his bodies had to say a single word to each other, but he liked hearing his own voice.

And another new body was sculpted in the cavern under the Mother Tree. He took control of it the moment it was complete and added the new part of himself to the resource gathering efforts.

Perhaps being in so many places at once would have been confusing if he hadn't been doing it since whenever he had started to exist.

He harvested a wheat field near that old tent with a body that was clearly from a little while ago because it was dressed in silver and green instead of gold and purple. Annoyingly, the right hand broke off when he put the hoe back down after finishing. He brought the body to the nearby ocean and dampened the wrist of the separated hand so he could reattach it. After he was done, he diverted less of his attention to that body and moved his main focus elsewhere.

4 bodies worked together to build a house. They were far more synchronised than anything that didn't share a mind ever could be. It was complete before the balloon got to The Undergrove.

A thousand bodies means two thousand eyes and two thousand ears. Joel knew everything that happened in Mezalea. He even had a couple of bodies in the Ocean Empire, and one in the Cod Empire that was giant and immobile but part of his consciousness regardless. If he didn't see or hear something it must just not actually exist! Right?

The Joel that was looking at the axolotls is the one that most outsiders would consider to be the king. It didn't matter much to him which body he met the other rulers with at first, but now that Lizzie knows that body inside and out, he always keeps a little bit of his focus on it. Any other body made around the same time would be pretty much identical, but it matters to him, okay?
