The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 446 - Telekinesis

Han Wu extracted all the crystals from the mutated zombies’ skulls and fed their flesh to his locusts. The energy within the flesh caused many of them to evolve, and two even advanced to the Lord rank.

Han Wu’s strongest unit, the Locust Dragon, also reached the High Lord rank. After devouring the spike zombie, it also awakened a new ability called Bone Spikes. Once activated, its close-combat strength soared, while its frost breath granted it deadly long-range power, making it a truly formidable foe.

Sensing his Locust Dragon’s immense strength, Han Wu abandoned Fawkings’ abilities and used Replicate on his Locust Dragon. In an instant, Han Wu transformed. Sharp, tough bone spikes jutted from his skin, forming an armor that drastically increased his defense. The bone spikes could also reshape at will to form any weapon he desired. With these bone weapons, his close-range attacks became brutally destructive.

Han Wu gained the Locust Dragon’s frost breath as well. He could freeze any opponent who dared to approach before piercing them with his spikes, shattering them into icy fragments.

Satisfied, he led his strongest locusts deeper into Parasol Corp.’s secret base. When the door slid open, Han Wu found the telekinetic zombie sitting on the office chair, waiting for him. It was gnawing on a human thigh and complaining about how dry the meat tasted.

The moment their eyes met, Han Wu felt an oppressive pressure radiating from the telekinetic zombie. Just two hours earlier, it had seemed insignificant. Now, it radiated a violent aura that screamed danger.

The telekinetic zombie tossed the half-eaten limb and looked at Han Wu. “I’ve been waiting for you. You’re finally here. You are strong, and your flesh will taste far better than that stupid old man’s.”

Though startled, Han Wu masked his reaction. “It seems that you’ve grown stronger.”

“I’ve consumed a vial of high-purity virus. I am much stronger now.” The telekinetic zombie’s voice trembled with excitement as it unleashed its full force. Without warning, the table in front of it shot forward and crashed toward Han Wu.

Han Wu quickly summoned bone spikes to shield himself and blocked the blow, but the telekinetic zombie wasn’t finished. Various items within the office floated upward, as if lifted by invisible hands, then hurtled toward Han Wu and his locusts. Worst of all, two Heroic locusts were ripped in half before his eyes.

“Kill it now!” Han Wu howled.

He fired two bone spikes to destroy a flying monitor, then charged straight at the telekinetic zombie with his longsword, greatsword, and Flying Arrow.

The Locust Dragon followed his lead, summoning bone spikes as armor. Now it was strong enough to stand against the telekinetic zombie.

Unfortunately, their attacks failed to land. The telekinetic zombie’s special ability blocked every strike with an invisible force field about three meters away. After consuming the high-purity virus, its power had condensed into something as strong as a solid object. Both Han Wu and the Locust Dragon felt as if they had crashed into a wall and couldn’t reach their target.

Drunk on its newfound strength, the telekinetic zombie laughed maniacally. “Submit to my power and become my dinner!”

“Use your breath attack!” Han Wu ordered the Locust Dragon, then unleashed his own.

Unexpectedly, the telekinetic zombie was strong enough to restrain their attacks and conjure two solid walls with its telekinetic ability to block them. Even the combined might of their breath attacks couldn’t break through.

“You’re powerless. Only death awaits you!” the telekinetic zombie taunted. Yet its grin faltered when it noticed that neither Han Wu nor the Locust Dragon looked afraid. Instead, they regarded it with pity.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” it demanded, glancing between them. “I’ve evolved into the perfect life form and can kill you both easily!”

It stared at them until a strange stiffness crept through its body. When it looked down, it saw that its legs had frozen without realizing it. The ice crept higher, spreading up its limbs with each passing moment.

The telekinetic zombie frowned in disbelief. “Wait, I wasn’t hit by your breath attack. How am I injured?”

Han Wu answered, “You weren’t hit directly, but you underestimated the aftermath. Our breath attacks can temporarily drop the surrounding temperature to -20°C. Even steel can’t withstand that for long, much less your frail body!”

The telekinetic zombie’s expression twisted as it understood its mistake. Obsessed with blocking the attack, it had ignored the freezing air itself. Within moments, it was completely encased in ice. Han Wu summoned his Flying Arrow, shattered the frozen corpse, and sifted through the remains until he found the telekinetic zombie’s crystal.

The crystal stood out from the ones found in other mutated zombies. It had the shape of an octahedron and bore a golden mark depicting a human brain. The mark most likely symbolized the telekinetic ability.

Han Wu decided that this would be his preferred special ability. Ever since his clone descended into Tanuki Town, he hadn’t absorbed a single crystal from the mutated zombies there. The ones he had collected before lacked the uniqueness he sought. Though powerful, God equipment could replicate their special abilities, which made them far less valuable.

However, the telekinetic ability was different. It offered immense potential, remarkable versatility, and was shapeless when used, which made Han Wu favor it even more. Without a second thought, he absorbed the crystal on the spot.

The moment he did, his mind felt clearer, and his senses sharpened dramatically, allowing him to perceive his surroundings without relying on sight. Within 1,000 meters, nothing escaped his awareness. When he focused in one direction, his perception stretched as far as five kilometers. This was a minor but useful perk of his telekinetic ability.

Han Wu nodded with approval. “Not bad.”

The Locust Dragon then handed him a black box. It looked refined and was most likely valuable. It had found it beside Zweisteine’s corpse and thought it should bring it to him.

Han Wu motioned for the locusts to carry the black box back to their base and ordered them to collect anything else of value before returning with him.

A day later, another helicopter landed at the secret base, and two Rank 5 ability users from Parasol Corp. stepped out.

The secret base in Tanuki Town had failed to report to headquarters for an entire day, so they had sent those two to investigate.

As soon as they set foot on the site, they froze. The site was nothing but scattered rubble and churned earth.

They exchanged bewildered looks. “Was there always a cave here? Where did the base go?”
