Chapter 29: S-rank Zombie Kings
[In response to your question, Lynn clenched her fist and released the accumulated energy towards the human base. An enormous air shockwave was generated from her attack as it obliterated everything in its path.]
[The mental barrier that you had created could let anything enter it but not get out, so Lynn's attack passed through your mental barrier and proceeded to obliterate the walls of the human base as well as the human awakeners and ordinary humans inside it.]
[An S-rank's full-powered attack was enough to destroy the human base entirely, leaving no survivors alive. Even the lightning human awakener from dormitory 172 who was at A-rank Late Stage became nothing but mangled flesh. But since you needed that human awakener's flesh to feed Lynn, only its head was obliterated and the rest was preserved by your mental barrier.]
[Of course, your mental perception had already enveloped the entire human base so you had used your mental power to create a mental barrier, encasing all of the human rations inside.]
[You didn't need to eat human food since you can also devour the flesh of human awakeners and evolved zombies and convert it to energy, like what Lynn did. But you didn't like the thought of cannibalism so you didn't go down that path and still ate human food.]
["Hmm, the rations here are quite low. Lynn, let's raid other human bases." After noticing that the rations in that human base weren't sufficient, you decided to leave this human base which was already in ruins.]
[But before you and Lynn left, the two of you didn't forget to pack up the flesh and limbs of those human awakeners.]
[After leaving that human base, you and Lynn invaded and destroyed other human bases, slaughtering everything in your path. The military even intervened, but their corpses became the fertilizer for this land's growth.]
[You and Lynn were unstoppable. You have forgotten to count the number of bases that you and Lynn have destroyed and the number of humans that you have killed. You didn't care since this was only a simulation anyway.]
[Undoubtedly, you and Lynn became the world's most wanted criminal. Almost every human knew of your notoriety but that didn't matter to you since you have successfully obtained rations as well as the zombie viruses of the human awakeners.]
[Even if you killed all humans aside from yourself and made this world your zombie virus farm, you wouldn't mind as long as Lynn was with you. When you pondered over your future with Lynn, you realized that the mastermind of this world has yet to be discovered.]
[You and Lynn safely returned to your base and from your mental perception, you noticed that nothing had happened in your base. You stored all of your rations in the storage room while the human flesh and limbs were stored in the freezer that you had built underground.]
[With enough food secured, you and Lynn could now focus on improving your power. At least, you plan to reach SS-rank and become as strong as possible.]
["Sigh, at this rate, it's impossible to not get an S-grade as my simulation score. And since it's inevitable, I might as well find out the identity and power of the mastermind so I can be prepared to deal with the mastermind in the full-dive simulation." With that plan in mind, you trained nonstop! Only by becoming strong enough, you can deal with the mastermind!]
[9th month: You further trained your swordsmanship and it has finally stabilized in power. Your swordsmanship has now been upgraded from Master Swordsman (Purple) to Grandmaster Swordsman (Gold).]
[Your mind control superpower has improved again and it could finally affect other viruses. You could only control the zombie virus before due to your proficiency in controlling viral energy but now, you can control entities at the size of a virus.]
[Your air manipulation superpower has also been improved and it was incorporated into your swordsmanship. You can now combine the power of the air and your sword intent to create a wind sword that could cut anything as long as it was the same level of power as you.]
[You dare not boast that you could defeat those who are stronger than you, but the proficient control of your power made you confident that you are invincible at the same level!]
[The strongest zombie is currently at S-rank Initial Stage. It was even dubbed as the "Zombie King" by the human awakeners from nearby cities. You had heard that the zombie king could easily destroy a human base but that wasn't what made it threatening.]
[From what the human awakeners had discovered, the zombie king has gained sentience and wisdom and could even speak in human language! With its power, the zombie king had defeated countless bases in the city adjacent to yours and had taken over that city as its kingdom.]
[All of the zombies in that city were commanded by the zombie king. The zombie king seemed to have the power to control zombies that were weaker than it.]
[But when that zombie king dared to invade your city, you easily beheaded it with your wind sword. You obtained information that the zombie king that you had killed was the one responsible for killing Mark Dolt and the rest of your subordinates who had built their base in the city that the zombie king had previously dominated.]
[You didn't care about the deaths of Mark and your subordinates since it was just a whim for you to make them your subordinates. At least, you had taken revenge for them by killing the zombie king.]
[Driven by the resolve to become stronger, You and Lynn started exterminating the zombie kings in other cities and obtained the zombie virus of those zombie kings.]
[You have successfully evolved to S-rank Late Stage while Lynn is at S-rank Intermediate Stage.]
["From the words of those human awakeners, wasn't Lynn considered as a zombie king? If those zombie kings evolved to SS-rank, would they call that evolved zombie a zombie emperor?"]
