My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 766

Then, a pop-up appeared before her.

[Potential Zombie King Killed x1]

Kisha blinked in disbelief. She hadn't expected this outcome at all. The potential zombie king was actually a parasite-type, a cunning creature that latched onto a powerful host, devoured its brain, and hijacked its body as if it were its own.

She had always assumed the potential zombie king would be the most visibly dominant, the strongest among the horde. But now, thinking about it, there was strength in being able to take down the strongest without fighting it head-on, too. Being able to overpower and possess the strongest with only a little sneak attack... that was its own terrifying kind of power.

'So, this is why we couldn't find the potential zombie king?' Kisha silently wondered. Even 008 couldn't provide an answer; its sensors have been constantly scanning the map and checking the surroundings for any signs of the potential zombie king, but to no avail.

And only now did it dawn on Kisha that they had been facing it all along.

Her initial assumption had been completely wrong. Only now did Kisha realize the true nature of the 'absolute body skill' that the elite evolved zombie possessed—it was indeed all about physical strength and defense and nothing more.

The elite evolved zombie had strong defenses, but its true power lay in the parasitic evolved zombie, which was the potential zombie king. The potential zombie king didn't need to appear as a separate entity; it simply consumed its host, took over its body, and used its regenerative abilities to aid its host while combining its own skills with the host so they could become one entity and grow stronger.

Kisha also realized that the potential zombie king posed more dangers because it not only had an insane regenerative ability, but also because of its mental-type ability, combined with it. This clarified how it managed to disrupt her telekinetic grip on her floating daggers.

This is also the reason why it could send out a wide range 'Mental Signature Pulse' to call for reinforcements from a distance, because its mental ability amplified it on so many levels, so it could reach an effect that only a fully-fledged zombie king could do.

Now, everything clicked into place for Kisha as she contemplated the situation. With the potential zombie king dead, the remaining zombies lost their coordination and began attacking recklessly. Their only instinct was to feed and fight—nothing more.

For Sparrow and the rest of the team, this change made things much easier. They no longer had to worry about zombies outsmarting them or the additional zombie hordes pouring in from outside the factory, allowing them to focus on eliminating the remaining zombies inside.

Kisha and Duke both felt a massive weight lifted off their shoulders, especially Kisha. With the biggest threat eliminated, they now only had to deal with the remaining zombie horde using a pincer attack. But before proceeding, both of them decided to inspect the fallen potential evolved zombie. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

"It really is ugly..." Duke muttered as he pulled his spear free from the wall. As he did, the wall crumbled along with the fallen potential zombie king, burying it under a pile of debris. Kisha, undeterred, used her telekinesis to shift the rubble, pulling the zombie closer to her.

Focusing intently, she began to sense the crystal core within its head. With careful precision, she extracted the core, not even touching it physically. This level of control required immense concentration, as she had to visualize and feel the structure of the zombie's body in her mind, guiding her telekinesis through her mental map.

Duke kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings, watching for any zombies that might ambush them while Kisha carefully practiced her telekinesis. For her, this was more than just extraction—it was a form of training.
