Apocalypse King System
Chapter 92 92: Upgrading Special Abilities

"Quiet..." Lisa shouted to the women, and the noisy chatter below gradually quieted down.

"I won't say much else. The main reason for gathering you here today is to recognize some women in the base who have performed exceptionally well. To commend these two, I have decided to grant them the means to use superpowers," Derick said, standing with his hands behind his back, addressing a group of awed women.

"Lisa, come here first..." Derick beckoned to Lisa, who obediently walked over and knelt on one knee.

Derick didn't dawdle. He placed his finger on her forehead and channeled his special abilities to transfer a seed into Lisa's brain.

As he did so, Lisa's skin began to flash with streaks of lightning, exceptionally dazzling and visible even from a distance. The surrounding women observed in awe as Lisa's skin seemed to become transparent, with a stream of lightning continuously transferring from Derick's finger to her.

Soon, Derick withdrew his finger, and Lisa slowly tried to stand up. Lightning radiated around her, and as she opened her palm, crackling arcs of electricity sounded, frightening the other women and increasing their fear.

In the hospital, the women feared Lisa perhaps even more than Derick, as she was the one who usually punished the disobedient maids and female warriors. Most had witnessed her methods firsthand.

Watching Lisa now adeptly trying to master and use her newfound abilities, the women started to envy her, especially those who had recently joined the base, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

The power to control lightning, a capability only gods in myths were believed to possess, was now in Lisa's hands. Countless women, at that moment, wished they could replace Lisa and receive this special ability. However, the majority understood that in terms of appearance, physique, or even cleanliness, they were far behind Lisa. Such aspirations were mere daydreams for them.

The second to receive the transmission of special abilities was Mu Ling. Following Lisa's example, she knelt on one knee, both nervous and excited.

The procedure was repeated, and Mu Ling also successfully acquired the power of lightning. Under the envious gazes of the other women, both Lisa and Mu Ling released bolts of lightning, splitting a car in the distance.

"The abilities have now been passed on to both of you, but remember to practice diligently and kill more zombies. Only then will your abilities improve. I hope you won't disappoint me…"

"Thank you, Master. We will not let you down…" Holding back their joy, the two women looked at the powerful and mysterious man before them, feeling endlessly grateful.

Derick helped them up, "Use this power well. Now you can go and try it out~"

Mu Ling and Lisa nodded simultaneously and quickly reached the hospital entrance. Opening the gate, their palms surged with blue electric light. A wave of their hands, and the thunderous lightning pierced through a zombie's head, then continued to smash the heads of the second, third, up to a row of seven or eight zombies before dissipating into the air.

"It's incredible, the power inside feels endless…" Mu Ling marveled at her palm. Although she had witnessed Derick's miraculous abilities before, it still seemed like just the tip of the iceberg to her. Like her current power, she could now effortlessly kill the level 2 zombies that she had once struggled to defeat.

Is this the power that belongs to the gods?

Character: Lisa

Special Ability: Lightning

Physical Strength: 89

Attack: 113

Speed: 91

Spirit: 100

These are Lisa's current attributes, making her akin to a little superhero. Tasks like splitting marble with her hands or taking down a tiger with a slide are now effortlessly within her reach. She's on a completely different level compared to before gaining her special ability.

Moreover, as her abilities improve, their strength will be further enhanced. Watching Zelda and Lisa effortlessly annihilate more than a dozen zombies – foes they previously had to fight against with great effort and the risk of infection – the other women's envy reached its peak.

Observing the expressions of the women, Derick nodded in satisfaction. It wasn't in vain that he had put in the effort to gather these women to witness the process of transmitting special abilities. The reason for doing this was to showcase his power to the women, to let them see his omnipotence and mythologize himself as the supreme god of the base.

This approach had many advantages. Just a while ago, Derick received a system notification that in just a short period, among the nearly two hundred women present, at least half had their loyalty exceed 80, and one-third surpassed 90, with the rest not far behind.

"You don't need to be overly envious of them. You too have the potential to gain these abilities. If you perform well, show sufficient loyalty, and contribute to the base, I can also grant you this kind of power to become stronger and fearless in this apocalypse," Derick said, looking down at the women with an invisible pressure emanating from him, causing a tightening in their hearts.

Derick's words struck the women's hearts like a hammer. They couldn't help but wonder – did they also have a chance to gain such miraculous abilities?

Derick wasn't merely making empty promises. Although he wouldn't easily impart special abilities to other women in the short term, besides those few who had been with him from the beginning, there was a possibility of him doing so later, once he acquired more diverse abilities.

These female warriors, if they possessed special abilities and killed zombies daily, could bring him a substantial amount of experience. The points they were already bringing in were significant. With special abilities, they would be even more powerful, a win-win situation that Derick certainly wouldn't overlook. However, that was a matter for the future. For now, these words were only meant to motivate them.

In fact, not only the fighting female warriors but also the maids responsible for farming and cleaning harbored a desire in their eyes. Who wouldn't want to take control of their own destiny?

However, lacking the ability to kill zombies and being timid, yet still wishing for a better life, they could only try to make themselves look more attractive, hoping to catch the master's eye someday.

"Hand over your weapons to me..." Although Derick wasn't going to impart special abilities to these women for now, he would still bestow some gifts upon them. For instance, he could now use his power to enchant their melee weapons, effectively attaching his lightning ability to them.

This way, when they swung these weapons to kill zombies, the weapons would carry his special ability, making them almost unstoppable. It would also feed back some power to enhance their physical attributes. The more zombies they killed, the higher their three-dimensional attributes would rise. Though it might not be as potent as having special abilities, it would undoubtedly make them much stronger than before.

"Thank you, Master..." The female warriors, looking at the weapons in their hands glowing with blue light, were very excited and couldn't wait to test their power.

"Mu Ling, lead these female warriors to kill zombies. The rest of the maids, return to your respective duties..."

"Everyone else, follow me..." With a wave of her hand, Mu Ling took the lead and charged out with the female warriors. The light of lightning flickered on her palms, shattering the zombies at the forefront.

[Ding, Mu Ling killed a level 1 zombie, the host gains one point, gaining 586/3000 lightning ability experience.]

[Ding, Mu Ling killed a level 1 zombie, the host gains one point, gaining 591/3000 lightning ability experience.]

Derick hardly needed to act; his points and ability experience were rapidly increasing. Under Mu Ling's leadership, who was a special ability user, the morale of the female warriors skyrocketed. They knocked down rows of zombies, appearing incredibly formidable.
