Apocalypse King System
Chapter 84 84: Bestowing Abilities

The enhancement of abilities brought about significant effects. Not only did Derick's overall physical qualities increase by about ten points, but he also felt that he could now control a much larger amount of thunder power. It was as if his body contained an ultimate destructive force.

Clenching his fist, the thunderous light extinguished, and the lightning outside his body gradually concealed. Derick's face showed an excited expression. Indeed, this power was not ordinary. Now, if he encountered the previous Level 3 zombie, he could easily kill it with just one move.

The mission was completed, and Derick collected the heavy machine gun and the remaining bullets from the ground into the system space. Then, he jumped down from the rooftop, and a dense array of lightning arcs flashed behind him.

With the additional thunder ability, Derick felt like he had reached the pinnacle of speed. He could now control lightning to travel, almost achieving short-term flight. However, prolonged use of the ability would consume a considerable amount of mental power. Only when the ability level increased further could he fully achieve aerial maneuvering.

Derick left, and many survivors nearby wanted to find traces of him. They thought that such powerful firepower meant that the military had entered the city. However, they ultimately found nothing.

Back in the hospital, Gina stood by the bed, looking at Camilla, who was hiding under the covers. She tried to persuade her gently, "Why don't you go out for breakfast? It's not good for your body to stay like this..."

Camilla remained silent, sitting on the bed with the covers wrapped around her, her beautiful face still showing traces of tears, and her complexion appeared pale.

"Alright, you two should go out. I'll take care of her," Angelica walked in and said to Gina and Joy.

Both maids bowed and respectfully left the room.

Angelica looked at the beautiful woman sitting on the bed, clearly feeling disheartened, and the obvious signs of intimacy on the bed, including large wet spots on the sheets and lingering licentious aura in the room, made her feel a little weird.

However, she had studied psychology and had good communication skills. She proactively helped persuade Camilla, eventually coaxing her to get out of bed, get dressed, and have a meal.

"What kind of situation is this! I have to help my brother persuade the women he's been with... to take care of their emotions," Angelica felt a little strange. Such a situation was truly unimaginable, but she was willing to do anything for Derick.

Not long after, Derick returned directly to the hospital. His return speed was even faster than when he left, taking less than one-third of the previous time.

"Master..." "Master, you're back..." Several maids responsible for maintaining the fence saw Derick return and quickly knelt down to pay their respects.

"Alright, get up. Where is Angelica?" Derick asked.

"Master, she's working on the third floor~" a woman quickly replied.

Derick glanced in that direction, nodded, and then stepped on the thunder to leave the spot.

"Wow... Master seems to have become even more handsome..."

"It's a pity that we haven't caught Master's attention. It would be great if we could be favored by Master, even if it means serving him closely." Several maids discussed enthusiastically.

They were all smart women and knew that the person in charge of this base was Derick, the only man of the highest status here. Naturally, these women were eager to climb up the ladder. However, Derick's standards were now much higher, and he didn't find ordinary women appealing unless they had made significant contributions.

Derick went directly to the third floor and saw Camilla and Angelica sitting at the table having their meal, with Gina and Joy standing beside, serving them.

Camilla noticed Derick and her eyes showed a slight fluctuation of emotions—there was a mix of resentment, fear, curiosity, and helplessness, but mostly indifference.

Derick decided not to tease or flirt with this vulnerable beauty for now. Although she seemed calmer, it didn't mean she had forgiven him. He would let her gradually adapt.

In any case, she couldn't escape from his grasp. Moreover, she had a masochistic tendency, and targeting this weakness would eventually make her Derick's cherished pet.

"Sister, come out for a moment..." Derick took Angelica to the rooftop.

"What's going on? Why so secretive..." Angelica asked curiously.

Derick didn't say anything but hugged his sister and kissed her beautiful red lips. His tongue gently teased her desire, and the two merged into each other's embrace.

Angelica's body went weak, and she leaned into Derick's arms.

After enjoying a passionate kiss with his sister, Derick didn't forget his purpose. "System, bestow Thunder Ability, target: Angelica..."

As the system's ability was activated, a seed separated from Derick's thunder ability and gradually entered Angelica's brain, while her body was also slowly transformed.

Angelica had experienced this feeling before when she was bestowed with abilities before, but this time it was more pronounced, and her mind was filled with much more information about the ability.

Angelica's eyes widened in surprise as she felt her own thunder ability. She couldn't express her shock. The abilities she had received before were indeed amazing, but they were still within the realm of what humans could achieve.

However, these "abilities" were completely beyond imagination. It was unprecedented. Angelica knew that her brother had some abilities that ordinary people didn't have, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to bestow abilities on them. But could these abilities be shared?

Angelica carefully opened her eyes, and a bolt of lightning shot out, instantly leaving a scorched mark on the ground. Its power was not to be underestimated.

She smiled with her eyes narrowed and felt very curious. She continued to try her abilities, but after a while, she felt a bit dizzy. Derick hurriedly held her, "Sister, this ability is not for unlimited use. The higher your mental power, the longer you can use it. Killing zombies can also enhance your mental power and ability level."

"Great, from now on, I can go out and kill zombies too..." Angelica's eyes brightened. Although she had been bestowed with many abilities before, Derick had worried about her safety and hadn't let her go out to kill zombies. Now with this ability, there was no need to worry.

"That's right, sister. Maybe you can become the Goddess of Thunder or something like that. It sounds good," Derick teased with a smile.

"Hmph..." Angelica ignored her brother's teasing and enjoyed using her new ability.

The abilities Derick bestowed upon them were differentiated from his own thunder ability and could be given without the need for points, as long as the loyalty reached 90 or above.

There were many advantages to this. For example, if the women's mental power was exhausted due to excessive use of abilities, Derick could transfer some of his mental power to them so that they could continue using their abilities. The abilities transmitted could be reclaimed at any time and could be strengthened by killing zombies, benefiting both parties.

Of course, there were also some drawbacks. These women's abilities couldn't surpass his own unless Derick's abilities upgraded again. But as far as he was concerned, this was not a drawback.

For now, Derick didn't plan to bestow the Thunder Ability to too many people. At most, Angelica, the little slave girl Lisa, the policewoman Zelda, and maybe Judy, the little girl who seemed to be a bit rebellious but had a loyalty level above 80 and was gradually increasing. It seemed that the pathway to a woman's heart was through her vagina.

Zelda and Lisa had already taken their teams out to kill zombies, leaving only Judy at the base, training the female warriors' marksmanship.

Angelica excitedly went downstairs to try out her new ability, while Derick sought out Judy, intending to give her some training to increase her loyalty to 90 or above as soon as possible...
