Chapter 420: Kneel And Prostrate Yourself Before This Sovereign!

The talent boost brought by lower-grade innate talents would almost be negligible if there were a way higher-grade talent.

It was for this reason that Zayne couldn’t just absorb lower-grade innate talents. While it was true that quantitative accumulation would lead to qualitative change, the premise of that was that the quantity of those innate talents wouldn’t be too low.

Compared to red-grade simulation talent, an X-rank innate talent wasn’t really that effective.

’Anyway, forget it. I also don’t want to look and act like an old man. That X-rank Old But Gold innate talent is more trouble than it’s worth.’

’At least, I can snatch and plunder it for Old MacDonald’s sake. He’s the only old man in the crew, but I might have older people as my allies in the future. Who knows? After all, the doomsday scenarios are quite random.’

’And besides, unlike Henry and the others’ case, I don’t have to ask these people for permission. I’m willing to set aside my pride and power when dealing with friends, but these outsiders are fair game.’

Thinking of this, Zayne no longer hesitated and left the Zenith Train, using his X-rank Invisible Force innate talent to make himself invisible.

Even when he had stepped out of the Zenith Train, even the Evolver Overlords within the command room couldn’t detect his presence.

These Evolver Overlords might be powerhouses who could sink and destroy an island, but they were no match for a Celestial rank powerhouse like Zayne who could destroy star systems like it’s a regular Monday.

With his power, he didn’t have to lower himself to accommodate these weaklings with whom he didn’t have any good relations.

Due to this, Zayne didn’t hesitate to use his Bloodline Magic: Absolute Boundary.

"Boundary of Eternity!"

Using the Boundary of Eternity, Zayne infinitely stretched the time in the entire world, making it seem like he had stopped time.

Walking in this eternally stretched world, he decisively summoned Order King to his side, using the pre-programmed World Order to extract their innate talents.

All of the Evolver Overlords present had an SSS-rank innate talent. It was for this reason that they’d even reached Overlord rank.

After all, those who have an SSS-rank innate talent were undeniably talented.

Aside from them, there were also a few SSS-rank innate talent holders among those Evolver Emperors. They were the ones who had the potential and talent to become an Evolver Overlord, but merely remained at Emperor rank due to lack of resources and time.

If they were given another half a month, they’d undoubtedly become Overlord rank.

Unfortunately, there were only approximately a day left before the next Monthly Apocalypse World Update. They no longer had the time to strive for Overlord rank.

...

It didn’t take long for Zayne to extract all of their innate talents. Even the core members from the Going Home Club weren’t spared from Zayne’s extraction.

After all, they might be Henry and Alan’s subordinates or teammates, but he didn’t know them, unlike Jacob and Jackie, whom he at least was familiar with.

Including the two simulation chances he had acquired from the two weeks that naturally passed, Zayne increased his simulation chances by 26 after he had sacrificed the innate talents of everyone present within the command room, except for Henry and the others whose innate talents were already sacrificed by him long ago.

Due to this, his simulation chances were now at 401.

No matter what, using three simulation chances to boost the simulation talent draw rate was no longer that costly to him.

Of course, before Zayne sacrificed their original innate talents, he had already duplicated their innate talents and transferred back a copy each to them.

Due to this occurring in the eternally stretched time where no one was conscious except for Jade and his train crewmates, these weaklings were none the wiser.

’Unfortunately, none of them have useful SSS-rank innate talents. Even if those lower-rank innate talents I’ve recently acquired were upgraded to X-rank, they still wouldn’t be of use.’

Shaking his head in disappointment, Zayne recalled that one of them literally had an SSS-rank Strong Janitor innate talent, which made him speechless.

That Strong Janitor was an Evolver Emperor, and he was lucky that he had a more offensive superpower derived from the Evolver Path. Otherwise, his innate talent didn’t grant him that much combat power increase.

Of course, it wasn’t downright useless. However, it was quite situational.

The Strong Janitor innate talent allowed its holders to summon a mop that could clean any stains and impurities. It was quite useful for cleaning the zombie virus present within the zombie apocalypse world, even allowing those recently bitten to be "cured".

As for why it was called a "Strong" Janitor, it was also due to the rule-based ability that was granted aside from Cleaning. A Strong Janitor would be able to clean any spot regardless of obstructions, even being able to lift objects that got in the mop’s way.

Even if it was a heavy object, as long as its weight wasn’t one major rank and one minor rank above him, that Strong Janitor could lift it.

’I have to admit, these innate talents sure are interesting. Most of them are related to a person’s personality, circumstances, innate potential, etc.’

’Even the Evolver Emperor with the SSS-rank Strong Janitor was previously a janitor before the advent of the Monthly Apocalypse World Update Era.’

While thinking of this, Zayne shifted his attention back to Henry and the others before deactivating the Boundary of Eternity.

Due to this, it made it seem like Zayne suddenly appeared within the command room, causing the fright of almost everyone in the command room.

Of course, Henry, Alan, Jacob, and Jackie were the exceptions. After all, they already knew that Zayne would be coming. They were the ones who invited Zayne in the first place.

After seeing Zayne, Henry was about to greet him, but Zayne decided to create a persona for himself.

Without any hesitation, Zayne leaked out a portion of his bloodline pressure as a Human Progenitor, causing everyone except for Henry, Alan, Jacob, and Jackie to kneel and prostrate on the ground!

"Kneel and prostrate yourself before this Sovereign!"
