Chapter 27: Attaining Sword Intent And Cellular-level Mind Control
[Your patience had run out and you could care less about what those humans outside would think. "In the face of absolute power, all tactics and conspiracies are meaningless." You spoke as you released your mental power within a radius of 8 kilometers.]
["Heh! With how weak these puny humans are, they can\'t even detect that my mental power had already enveloped and entered their bodies." After mocking those humans who dared to bother your life and Lynn\'s, you controlled your mental power.]
[As if you were an eight-grader, you forwarded your hand, clenched it tightly, and yelled, "Heart Burst!"]
[What accompanied were the lifeless bodies of those humans who had surrounded your base\'s walls falling unto the ground. They were suffering from internal bleeding as you had crushed their heart, leaving them brokenhearted and heartless.]
[You had fun living in this world. Not only you were the strongest, but you weren\'t restricted by so-called human laws. Even the military were exterminated by you.]
[But even so, you know that your power is still not enough. With that in mind, you continued training your swordsmanship and improving your mind control superpower.]
[5th month: Your swordsmanship has improved but it is still a few steps away from reaching the realm of creating sword intent.]
[Your mind control superpower has improved and your mental perception can perceive the world around you within a radius of 9 kilometers. Within your mental perception, you can mobilize the power of your mind control superpower and do anything you want in there.]
[Lynn has also improved her usage of her augment physical attribute superpower. She has developed the martial art of walking in the air by creating an air platform below her foot due to pure physical power and speed. She has now compensated for her weakness in air combat.]
[The strongest zombies you could find were B-rank Initial Stage zombies so Lynn and you decided to wait before you hunt zombies for their zombie virus.]
[You continued training your mind control superpower and swordsmanship.]
[6th month: Your swordsmanship has improved but you feel that you are only a step away from condensing sword intent. Your mind control superpower\'s mental perception can now be released within a radius of 10 kilometers.]
[The strongest zombie is only at B-rank Late Stage so Lynn and you decided to wait.]
[7th month: Your swordsmanship has improved and you feel that it\'s only half a step away from condensing sword intent. You didn\'t further improve your mind control superpower\'s perception range but instead, focused on improving your control over your mental power.]
[You can now control the human body at a cellular level. Although, the downside is that you need to be at full concentration. It still needs more improvement before you can casually use it.]
[The strongest zombie is only at A-rank Initial Stage but it could barely provide any improvement on Lynn\'s strength so Lynn and you decided to wait.]
[8th month: Your swordsmanship\'s realm finally broke through and reached the level of condensing sword intent! With pure willpower and physical skills, you can now create sword intents to kill your opponent! Even using just a tree branch is enough to kill an A-rank evolved zombie or human awakeners.]
[You can now control the human at a cellular level without the downside of being in a state of full concentration. As long as your target is within the range of your mental perception, you can even forcefully remove the zombie virus from their body.]
[You can even kill or take away the cells in a human body. Even controlling the cells is possible!]
[You made an experiment of removing the entire zombie virus within the body of an evolved zombie. When an evolved zombie is deprived by their zombie virus, there are two outcomes.]
[The first outcome has a 90% chance of probability. The deprived evolved zombie transforms back into a human. But, the recovered human body is powerless and it doesn\'t have any soul or mind of its own. It\'s like an empty husk.]
[You guessed that it was likely that the will or sentience of that human couldn\'t be retained due to the erosion of the zombie virus. In other words, they have already died after their mind was eroded by the zombie virus.]
[The second outcome has a 10% chance of probability. The deprived evolved zombie transforms back into a human. But, the recovered human body is powerless. However, they have retained their consciousness.]
[Unfortunately, the second outcome has two results. The recovered human body either retains full willpower or a broken one. The broken one is like a severely mentally ill patient while the full willpower one is a fully functioning human being.]
[Whether it is a full willpower cured human or a broken one, you killed them after obtaining enough data from them. You have no interest in taking care of a bunch of useless humans.]
[Anyways, killing them is already a mercy. After all, if you were irresponsible enough to let them go out of your base, those cured humans would have been eaten by the evolved zombies outside.]
[You are satisfied with the improvement of your power since your mind control superpower has proved to be one of the most powerful and versatile superpowers in this world!]
[The strongest zombie is currently at A-rank Late Stage so Lynn and you have started to exterminate those zombies. After acquiring their zombie viruses, Lynn has evolved to S-rank Initial Stage!]
[On the other hand, you are currently at the S-rank Intermediate Stage. You have finally recovered your power. Not to mention, you have surpassed the time you spent in this world and reached a record of 8th month compared to the time you had committed suicide at the 7th month in the previous timeline.]
[You noticed that your rations had already depleted so you went out to stock up on rations. Lynn accompanied you and you didn\'t mind.]
[You didn\'t mind leaving the base since even if it was overtaken by other human awakeners, you can easily reclaim it. Lynn\'s life and safety were more important than your base.]
[Lynn and you set out to restock on human food rations and human flesh rations.]
