Chapter 76
Overmind (2)
“Dual-Mind?”
It was unusual to start with the name.
Dual Mind.
It means two minds.
‘What? A skill that divides the mind. ’
Sang-woo’s prediction was correct.
“Yes. It’s a skill that breaks the spirit of the caster in two. ”
“Ah.”
Everyone has one heart.
The same is true of Sang-woo, who has a healthy mind.
I was frustrated that I split my mind in two.
“A breakdown”? This isn’t schizophrenia. It’s very dangerous. ’
Sang-woo said.
“I see why you said it was dangerous. It’s not normal to split people’s minds. ”
Aria nods.
“Of course, it’s dangerous, especially against the natural things. Especially the human mind, because it’s a very complex system, and if you mess with it, it’s a big deal. ”
“Hmm · · So what happens when you learn that duelmind? Maybe it controls the mind breaker and the Mana Engine’s core simultaneously, but I’m curious about its pros and cons. ”
Aria replies.
“Sang-woo’s guess is correct. You learn dual minds, and you use them to split your mind. with each of those divided minds controlling magic and core to keep the collisions from happening. ”
“I see · · · ·. But what about side effects?”
“Side effects are, as you know, when the divided mind doesn’t reconcile, or the new self settles in. This happens when you have low levels of dual-mind skills. Of course, once your skills are in place, the side effects will go away and stabilize, but until then, you’re very nervous. ”
“Hmm · · ·. ”
A new identity.
It was very dangerous
But on the one hand, there was a possibility.
‘What if I learned a skill and then had the alter ego use dual minds? If it’s used, I think I can stabilize the skill level with my self and then use it from there. ’
It was Sang-woo rolling his hair.
If it works as Sang-woo thinks, you will be able to skip the early stage with side effects.
After that, you can use Dual-Mind to handle magic and swords simultaneously, as well as use them to carry on self-immolation and command.
‘Fine. Let’s get to know Dual-Mind. You don’t have to use it if you think it’s gonna have side effects. ’
Sang-woo decided to open his mouth.
“Aria, do you have any dual-mind skills? ”
* * *
In a few days.
Sang-woo learned a few more skills before his Dual-Mind skill.
The next skill I learned was the ‘Blink’ skill.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
· [Blink (Lv.1)/Casting]: teleport for a short distance. Expands range based on magical power and level.
Cooldown: 12 hours ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
Sang-woo was surprised when he first found out he had Blink Skill.
‘It’s a jumper’s skill. ’
It was George Lucas, also known as his main skill, Blink.
I heard there are no other Hunters to use, but Heritage has already crafted a Prototype skill sphere.
“There are surprisingly many users with Blink skills. The wealthy Arabs used to buy themselves self-defense. But, like jumpers, we just don’t have the ability to freely utilize materials without waiting time for reuse. ”
Aria explained the Blink Skill.
Sang-woo’s cold Blink skill sphere has been copied and cooked.
‘I have Windwalk skills, but I can’t keep up with teleportation. ’
Sang-woo already had the ability to move very quickly called Windwalk.
But teleportation was literally the ability to move through space.
No matter how fast you run, it will be difficult to keep up with your opponent moving beyond the space.
‘And I’ve been there. ’
Every Awakened was a dreamy ability.
However, the waiting time for reuse was very long, and even close to 50 horsepower could only travel 5 meters, so the range was short, so it seemed to have to be used only for really important moments.
Above all, there were side effects that caused internal injuries with each use, such as when using subspace skills.
‘Only use this when it’s really important. ’
And the next thing I learned was mind-bending skills.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
· [Brainstorming Power (Lv.1)/Casting]: The power of the mind can move objects. Powers up and expands based on your magical power and level.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
Flower of Superpowers, Brainstorming!
The next skill picked up a mind-set, as it had an endless number of abilities to utilize.
‘Maybe I can use this to replicate my sword. ’
Even a six-stage Stormbringer sword, the Whirlwind turbulence, might be able to cast it.
Although it is convenient, it would be useful if we could use it indirectly to expand the upper level of swordsmanship.
‘Now let’s get familiar with the skills related to self-immolation. ’
After learning the skills that would directly help Sang-woo himself, he chose the skills that would help with his self-immolation.
It was a ‘primitive’ skill first.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
· [Primitive (Lv.1)/Casting Type]: You can see far away. Expands range based on magical power and level.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
A skill with a literally far-off view of magic. It was a higher version of a family skill.
I could see it if I knew the coordinates or the location without needing a vector.
It’s not that self-awareness and vision are shared, it’s showing the place, so the field sense fell a little.
‘But since the casting range is wide, the range problem, which is the weakness of the family skill, has been resolved to some extent. ’
The next thing I learned was the ‘Remote Recording’ skill.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
· [Remote Recording (Lv.1)/Casting]: Text can be written on interlocking objects. Expands range based on magical power and level.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
I was already familiar with the skill of buying and communicating a voice message skill to be reported to the alternates, but it was less useful.
‘How do I remember everything I got verbally from the alter ego? ’
It was a skill I learned to make reporting easier. Now that we’ve given orders to record the entire process of self-immolation as a remote recording skill, Sang-woo can easily check the reports and keep track of the situation.
For example:
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
Identity # 2: Kill 1 Troll (2024.05.21./17: 06)
Identity # 1: Kill 1 Troll (2024.05.21./17: 06)
Identity # 2: Defeated 1 Supergiant Deer Worm (2024.05.21./17: 07)
Identity No. 5: Defeated 3 Running Zombies (2024.05.21./17: 07)
· · ·
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
In this way, the acts of self-immolation are recorded.
It was a kind of log stacked in a computer system.
It was a one-stop solution that Sang-woo came up with.
There, I learned a ‘Recovery’ skill that maximizes my body’s regenerative power with restorative skills.
I originally tried to master the Great Hill skill, but Aria recommended it to me knowing Sang-woo’s regenerative power. Reichbury skills were more efficient for Sang-woo.
In addition, as a defensive skill against mental magic, you were able to complete the skills you wanted to learn when you learned the ‘Enhance Mentality’ skill.
Sang-woo then turned his eyes to the dual mind skill that Aria mentioned.
‘Let’s get used to it. ’
I thought the side effects would be severe, so I postponed the child’s blood due to nothing to use, but I thought I could get used to it.
Sang-woo directly copied the Dual-Mind skill sphere and learned about it.
Skill created.
[Dual-Mind Skill was created.]
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
· [Dual-Mind (Lv.1)/Casting]: Divides the mind. Increases the number of subdividable spirits based on mental strength and level.
Current split: 2
There is a chance that another self will be created.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
Let’s check the skill window. The description was short.
However, there was a scary side effect explanation that said, “There is a chance that another self will be created.”
“Isn’t this supposed to cause side effects? ’
Sang-woo has allowed the newly created self to use the Dual-Mind skill.
At that time, Sang-woo also had an unexpected change.
[Identity Enhancement Skill Identified.]
[Combines Dual-Mind skills with Self-Refense Skills.]
[Combines Family Skills into Self-Refense Skills.]
[Messenger skill is incorporated into the self-immobilization skill.]
[Raw Skill is incorporated into Self-Refense Skill.]
[Remote Recording Skill is incorporated into Self-Refense Skill.]
[Incorporates mental reinforcement skills into self-reinforcement skills.]
[Changes self-reinforcing skills.]
Suddenly, I think of the skills I have learned, and a message tells me that the skills are integrated.
And then…
[Overmind skill has been created.]
[MP +10.]
An unexpected, totally different skill was created for Sang-woo.
At the same time, lightning struck Sang-woo’s head.
Kwaguang!
With headaches and headaches, a tingling sensation that seemed to awaken brain cells spread to the brain.
‘Cough · ·!’ Sang-woo was about to collapse from that huge shock.
The headache disappeared as quickly as it did when it arrived.
Sang-woo is fine now.
Instead, a clear and clear mind filled my head.
I feel like I can do anything with this heightened feeling.
The question crossed my mind.
Overminded?
The reason for this change.
He immediately opened the skill window.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
· [Overmind (Lv.46)/Permanent]: It is an intermediary for mental groups. It pushes the limits of the mind.
Enhanced Identity: This reflects 73% of the body’s stats.
Command: You can access the nemesis objects to which the mind is connected.
Identify objects: Allows you to examine the status of a confined object. Organize commands.
Multitasking: enables multiple tasks at the same time.
Mind barrier: Protects and strengthens the mind.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
The identity-enhancing skill that was unlikely to change has changed to a new skill.
After reviewing the contents, it seemed that various skills were blended together.
Specifically, it was Sang-woo’s ‘Identifying Objects’ skill that caught his eye.
‘Are family skills, primitive, remote, and messenger skills integrated into object recognition? ’
Sang-woo has activated an object recognition skill.
And then…
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
Gluttony

Health: 89%

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
It reminded me of all the identities Sang-woo was summoning.
Is this real? ’
He rubs his eyes and looks again, unbelievable.
Again, the status of the identities emerged into the system window. “Awesome!”
Now that the status quo has been made available, he is now able to understand and control his desired identity in real time.
‘There was a command attribute here. ’
Content that allows access to spiritually connected subordinate objects.
There was no mention of the street.
‘What if the street limit has disappeared?’ ’
Sang-woo immediately accessed the identity card in Seoul with a commander skill.
Then, Sang-woo’s mind split in two and another vision bloomed.
What he could see was Sang-woo’s vision in Heritage’s workshop, and Shinhwa 1’s vision in his home in Korea.
‘It’s really · · · connected. ’
The United States and South Korea are thousands of kilometers apart.
that was successful in hitting and connecting to that street.
Sang-woo thought he was moving in Issue 1.
Then, even though he didn’t give the order as before, Issue 1 moved as he thought.
Unlike when using family skills, everything was free as if it were another me.
‘It’s like a real identity. ’
If I had felt like a puppet with only a few commands before, I would feel like I am something more intimate with myself, literally another self.
I felt like I was connected to Overmind.
Moreover, even though the image was divided into two, there was no problem that the vision was narrowed.
I’m not splitting one monitor in two, I’ve got one more monitor, and it’s a dual monitor.
By the way, do you have access to any other identities in this condition? ’
Two identities and connections at the same time?
Somehow it seemed possible
Sang-woo immediately tried to connect to another identity.
End of Overmind (2)
