Author Announcement:

Hey readers. Sorry, for the delay. Many relatives had come to my parents' house as we organized a family gathering, so the house was fully packed and I couldnt focus on writing new content. Hence, got delayed.

==========

After greeting goodbye to Chand Roj, Orochi walked out of the Golden Chamber of Commerce.

Then he enquired the news about Beast Tide.

From his inquiry, he learned that the city was successfully able to defend against the Beast Tide and suffered very low damage to life and properties.

Because the news of Beast Tide was reached at a correct time, the City Lord was able to set up proper defenses and take appropriate measures to defend against the Beast Tide.

So, when the Beast Tide arrived the soldiers, guards and all the experts including the City Lord resisted the Beast Tide bravely and successfully repelled the crisis.

But there was one rumor that made Orochis interest spike.

A powerful Royalty Realm powerhouse took a shot and helped in killing the commander of the Beast Tide.

When Orochi heard this, he was truly shocked.

A Royalty Realm powerhouse took a shot.

True, when he was at the Leon Clan, he met many Royalty Realm Powerhouses and interacted with them. Not to mention, his grandfather was also Royalty Realm Powerhouse.

And when he was at the Lamia Tribe, he also saw a few Royalty Realm Powerhouses. And... he also spent some physical moments with one.

Not to mention, he is currently traveling and living with a Royalty Realm Powerhouse- June.

So, Orochi should be Immune to such things.

But the truth is, he has never seen any Royalty Realm powerhouse take action or make a move.

As a cultivator and a person who wants to gain immense strength, he too wants to experience and see what kind of strength do strong people possess. Especially, the Royalty realm powerhouses, which are like gods in the eyes of low level cultivators.

He wants to compare how big the gap between him and a Royalty Realm Powerhouse like June or others is.

Even though he knows that the result would like comparing between an ant and elephant. But still, that doesnt calm his curiosity.

Humans are very curious and they go to great lengths because of it.

And the same goes for Orochi.

Sighing with some regret that he couldnt see the scene with his own eyes, Orochi put away this matter.

But one thing made him extremely vigilant.

A Royalty Realm Powerhouse was passing by?

Orochi doesnt believe this sentence.

A place like the Windy Country where Low grade energy stones are scarce to see, how can an expert Royalty Realm Powerhouse have any interest in a place like this.

In this situation, Orochi can only think that a Royalty realm powerhouse is spending his life to experience ordinary life and understand some profound meaning that can help him/her to gain strength or cultivate to a higher level.

Of course, maybe it is true that the Royalty Realm Powerhouse was passing by.

But his heart still firmly believes in the former theory, not the latter.

Calming his heart, Orochi did not waste any time, he quickly wanted to go back to the town where Armelia and June are staying.

.

During his return journey, Orochi did not go back on his feet. Instead, he took a horse and galloped towards his destination as he was quite tired and his fatigue bar was also above 80%,

While he was riding back, he started to look at the unread system notifications, which he left unchecked because he was focused on fighting against the crocodiles and then escaping from the dark forest.

Host has reached Level 100

Does the host want to Rank Up?

[Yes] or [No]

.

Seeing this, Orochi immediately ignored it and told the system that he doesnt want to Rank up, yet.

The reason why he did so is that he wants to try something.

When he reaches the peak of the Demi-Human Stage and can step into the Transformation realm, at that time he wants to see what changes will occur when he Ranks Up at the same time.

He doesnt know what will happen when he Ranks up, but he knows that his overall strength, soul, body, etc., will take drastic changes.

So, he can only guess the same will happen when he Ranks Up from Rank G to Rank F.

With that said, he looked at the next message,

Intelligence Stat has reached 100,000 points

Congratulations to the host. Since the Charm stat is already at 10,000 points, the host has obtained a new ability- Mind Network.

Mind Network: [Current State- 1 Parent Mind & 2 Child Minds]

This ability lets the host have multiple minds and helps in thinking, learning, and analyzing things at a rapid rate.

Parent Mind- is the original mind of the Host and has the ability and authority to control all the Child Minds.

Child Mind- is like a clone or an assistant of Parent Mind. Can be injected into a clone or enemy and replace their mind with the hosts child mind, and then the host will gain complete control of the enemy.

Note:

1- This ability is an upgradeable ability. For each time there is an increase in the number of digits of Intelligence and Charm Stat, a new Child Mind will be added.

2- Once the Child Mind is injected into an enemy and if the Child Mind gets destroyed, the host can regenerate the destroyed Child Mind with Free Stat points.

.

Seeing this, Orochi felt like he gained a huge lottery.

Just reading the description, his eyes shined with brilliance.

From the description of the Mind Network ability, what Orochi understood is that with this ability he can possess multiple minds.

It's like, in his body, there are 3 minds and all of them are working in sync.

He has the same capabilities and thought processing power comparable to that of 3 people.

In reality, if 3 people are learning or researching something then every one of them will have their own opinions, views, and understanding. So, in such a case some disputes might arise and that could lead to serious conflicts.

But with the Parent Mind, Orochi doesnt need to face such a drawback.

And in Orochis case, this ability is very useful and can help him in various things like:

Control his body parts. Let's say Orochi is facing multiple enemies at a time and they are almost as good and powerful as Orochi. No matter how hard one practices, it is difficult to control and make the body perform a different set of tasks at the same time. So, at that time this ability will come to his rescue. He could assign the control of his left-hand holding sword to one Child Mind, and right hand holding a spear to another Child Mind. With that, both Child minds will work separately and help Orochi stand his ground against the enemies, without interfering with each other because they are under Parent Minds control. Not only that, he can use this ability to perform tedious tasks that require enormous concentration.

Learning fighting techniques and martial arts rapidly. During the time when Orochi practices fighting techniques and martial arts, the Intelligence stat makes things easier for him. And helps him to learn them in a short time. And the Mind Network simply multiplies this learning speed. According to Orochis understanding, if previously his learning speed was 1, then after getting the Mind Network ability, it has now become 3. not to mention, according to the system, this ability is still upgradeable, so that means 3 will become 4, 5, 6, and so on.

Complete control over enemies. This might be the biggest surprise of this ability. What Orochi understood is that if Orochi can somehow inject one of the Child Mind into his enemy, then he can gain complete control over the body by replacing or suppressing their minds. Such that, he can then infiltrate enemy camps and learn their secrets. And Orochi has a guess that even if he does that, there will be no loss of life so there should be no way that anyone would know the person has died and someone is occupying his mind.

Actually, there are many other ways in which this ability can be used and the above mentioned ones are those that are the most peculiar and powerful ones.
