Chapter 47
Skill Completion
Tony quickly pulled a glowing item from his backpack—the "Psychic Power Operation Manual," which had been sitting at the bottom of his inventory for a long time.
As soon as Tony took out the book, the glow of the cover disappeared, and then the pages inside began to glow, as if reminding him which page to look at. When he turned to the glowing page, he found that the skills he could master had been updated.
Specific mind control – genetic domination (low level): It can invade the mind of any organism (including derivatives and clones) that has been fused with, infected, or carries fragments of its own genes, issue subconscious commands, and restrict its behavior.
Hive Will – Mind Intrusion (Low Level): Allows for unilateral mental connection with subordinates (gene-imprinted individuals) to perceive their thought processes.
After studying the instructions in the "Psychic Power Operation Manual," Tony basically mastered how to use the two new skills and also understood their origins.
As stated at the beginning of the user manual, users can continuously develop telekinetic skills based on the abilities they acquire.
The psychic power operation manual directly uses psychic power to complete the missing skills of the Heart of Domination.
Having acquired the means to control his subordinates and a simplified version of mind-reading, Tony can be considered a low-end version of Professor X tailored to a specific group of people.
Currently, the skill can only be developed to a basic level. To upgrade, you need to acquire new abilities to complement the development of your telekinetic power.
Tony pondered how to use the two skills, then spread his telekinetic energy around him before looking out the window at Eric, who was preparing to leave.
The telekinetic power invaded Eric's brain without any hindrance. The source of Eric's T-virus enhancement was his own blood, meaning it was imprinted on his own genes.
Since he had just mastered the skill, Tony could only sense Eric's emotions: he was extremely excited and drooling over Obadiah's corpse.
What the hell? Wakanda still has a tradition of cannibalism? But that's not surprising, after all, a tribe with advanced technology that still insists on hand-to-hand combat might just have their brains ruined by eating human flesh.
Perhaps I should help Eric restore the glory of my ancestors. Genetic control activated, go do what you want to do, don't hesitate.
Eric grew increasingly fond of Obadiah's muscles as he looked at them, drawing ever closer, his hand involuntarily reaching out to touch them, as if caressing fine silk or the skin of a lover.
"Look at these muscle lines, they'd still be this hard even if they were dead." As he touched them, Eric suddenly realized something was wrong, and the other members of the action team around him gave him strange looks.
Eric immediately stopped caressing her, his expression instantly transforming from that of a pervert to that of a tough guy, and said stiffly, "Look at those muscles, everyone go back and do extra training."
The team members immediately stood at attention, solemnly received Eric's orders, and then continued packing their belongings in preparation for departure.
However, some of the muscular guys looked at Eric with a strange expression, wondering if their boss shared the same interests as them. Although they were usually attackers, they couldn't really rule out the possibility of playing defense for their boss.
Poor Eric may face workplace sexual harassment in the future.
Tony, who was inside the room, also felt a chill and dared not explore Eric's thoughts any further, for fear of seeing something he shouldn't and getting a sty.
Did I guess wrong? Eric didn't want to eat people, but chickens.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. If I keep thinking about it, I'll just imagine it. I can understand Eric, after all, he used to have a lot of work pressure, and it was inevitable that things would get out of hand.
By the way, now that you mention it, is Eric's obsession with revenge because he has a lover in the team?
In Tony's rambling thoughts, everything came together.
These two new telekinetic skills are not easy to practice, since there aren't many people with the T-virus in their bodies yet. It seems we need to promote T-virus enhancement more and develop more T-virus drugs in the future, so that the whole world can become T-virus carriers.
Tony then turned his attention back to the Overmind. After merging with the core, he saw some of the Overmind's memories and gained some understanding of its functions.
Its primary function is the first one: gene engulfment and fusion.
Since it's just a core without a body to control, the devouring function disappears. After all, Tony can't directly devour other creatures, and even if he did, he wouldn't have the corresponding organs to break down and absorb their genes.
However, this ability is not entirely useless. In the latter part, the gene fusion ability is very useful. Although Tony cannot analyze the genes he has absorbed, he can use various enhancement techniques to do so.
For example, with the T-virus enhancement, after fusing with the core, Tony could clearly feel his body beginning to evolve again. The Overlord core optimized the fusion of his human genes and the T-virus, further strengthening him.
Moreover, with Marvel's advanced technology, even if you don't get enhancement technology from the treasure chest, there are many enhancement methods in the Marvel universe, such as Captain America's serum, Hulk's mutation technology, and Peter Parker's spider abilities.
These things don't need to be analyzed by yourself; there are plenty of people figuring them out. As long as there are ways to enhance them, your own master core can ignore the risks and be forcibly installed.
After installation, the Overmind Core will handle the rest of the work automatically.
With various enhancements, he could then have Umbrella study his blood and develop an enhanced version optimized by the Overlord Core.
If you don't like the T-virus enhancement, what about the Hulk's or Captain America's? There's bound to be one that appeals to you.
At that time, everyone will be enhanced, everyone will have my genes, and everyone will be governed by my genes.
Hydra is nothing. It's better to hide. I'll sell you the enhanced technology later. I'll have people in Hydra. From now on, don't shout "Long live Hydra," shout "Long live Tony!"
After Tony envisioned a perfect future, he suddenly realized that he could no longer live in his villa. Although the previous chaos had been quelled quickly, many parts of it had collapsed.
After thinking about it, and not having a good place to go, I simply drove to the Umbrella Corporation. Along the way, I saw the desolate Mabbury neighborhood, with no one on the streets and the doors of the houses destroyed by various organizations that were capturing zombies.
Tony could recognize S.H.I.E.L.D., Umbrella Corporation, the military, the FBI, and some people in police uniforms. There were probably many other private organizations, whose members were dressed in uniforms that made it impossible for him to identify their affiliation.
The various factions coexisted harmoniously. After all, there were too many zombies and too many organizations, and no single organization could stop them, so they simply stopped trying.
"With so many organizations, Umbrella doesn't stand out much, which is a good thing."
---------------
Tony arrived at Umbrella late at night and didn't get much rest. After Umbrella obtained the zombie test subjects, all the researchers were in a state of high spirits.
Even Wesker, a CEO known for his "sensible" approach, couldn't contain his excitement and would frequently report the progress to Tony.
Moreover, after Tony entered the company, his telekinesis directly connected with the test subjects, and all sorts of complicated thoughts flooded in, making him very uncomfortable.
Unable to sleep soundly, he decided to start training new skills and try to control the infected individuals in the laboratory.
It wasn't until late at night that Wesker realized he shouldn't keep disturbing his boss's rest, so he didn't go to Tony's room again. Tony was also tired from practicing, so he finally rested.
Tony slept until almost noon the next day when he was woken up by Pepper's phone call.
"Tony, look at the news!"
