Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster-Chapter 120: Mass Synaptic Hijack, And Asserting Dominance
Rael simply stood there, watching as the car finally stopped in front of him.
The moment it did, Seryn stepped out, holding the Ember, his expression puzzled.
"Did you kill her...?"
"Something like that. I killed her confidence," Rael replied with a chuckle, taking the Ember from his hands.
However, instead of eating it, Rael stored it inside his inventory for the time being.
After all, eating it would end the quest, and if he planned to return in the future, it was best to stay on good terms with the people of this land.
Rael smiled, walked to the car, and nodded at Sweepus.
"Nice one. First thing I'll do when I'm back is grant you any request you want. How does that sound?" Rael asked, earning a thumbs-up in response.
"Great. Though I'll have to store you for now... unless you want to be caught in the crossfire?" Rael teased.
Of course, Sweepus swiftly shook its head.
Rael chuckled and stored Sweepus, then the car right after.
He looked ahead, and after a few seconds, the Scorching Lands' soldiers appeared, circling the two of them with their horses.
Surprisingly, the woman who'd tried to fuck him over with the staff rode a fancier horse than the others.
Soon, she stepped down from her horse and began walking toward him, twirling her staff around menacingly.
But aside from her bouncing jugs, Rael was focused on something else entirely.
<(x310) Human [Level 100 ~ 328] has been Threaded!>
<Decreasing Willpower by 4%/sec>
<Mass Synaptic Hijack: Available!>
<Cost: 1,550,000 MP>
Rael raised a brow. Mass Synaptic Hijack? And since the skill reached level 100... the cost went down to 5,000 MP per person. Shit...
It was a bit overpowered—not too much, but just enough for him to want to abuse the skill to its limits.
That was why...
[MP -1,550,000 3,599,877/27,749,200 (x1x Mass Synaptic Hijack)]
Immediately, his vision darkened. However, it wasn't the same as before.
There was no mental fight to be had, and as he finally reopened his eyes, he found himself standing on shallow water, likely in the mind realm.
But as he looked around, Rael saw hundreds of cocoons strung up on silver threads, hanging from the limitless sky. Some were very high up, while others were practically touching the shallow water.
Out of curiosity, Rael approached a random cocoon and placed his hand on it.
The moment he did, his vision once again darkened, yet as he reopened his eyes, he noticed he was a little higher up than usual.
As he looked down, Rael realized he was sitting on horseback, with the rest of the Scorched Lands' soldiers staring toward the center.
And of course, in the middle was none other than Rael's real body, Seryn, and the black-haired woman holding a staff.
Yet just as he processed what was happening, a pop-up appeared.
<Mass Synaptic Hijack is active!>
<Duration: 25 seconds.>
It only activates when I select a body? I guess the timer is going down now as well, Rael deduced as a smile appeared on his face.
Nonetheless, since he wanted to make this a power play, he cleared his throat and spoke.
"You, black-haired chick. I'm not sure what you want from me, but I want you to know that at any moment, I can kill each and every single one of you present," Rael stated through the soldier's body.
The woman soon turned to him, puzzled.
Yet the moment she did, Rael imagined himself going back into the mind realm. Soon, his vision shifted back, and he found himself in front of the cocoons again.
At the same time...
<Mass Synaptic Hijack is paused!>
<Duration: 19 seconds.>
Holy shit... Rael's eyes widened. So I can just keep doing this for as long as I want? Time doesn't exactly pass that quickly in here either...
Safe to say, he was a little excited. Therefore, with a massive grin, he touched another cocoon, and like last time, he took over another body.
<Mass Synaptic Hijack is active!>
<Duration: 19 seconds.>
This time it was a woman, and she was on the opposite side of where the last soldier was.
Nonetheless, Rael continued.
"However, we can come to a little arrangement."
The moment he finished those words, Rael swapped bodies again.
"What do you say to establishing a connection with me? And no, I don't mean marriage. More like a relationship that benefits both parties."
He switched, this time to a soldier who was slightly closer to the black-haired woman, likely one of the captains.
"I'm going to be visiting this land again in a few months, maybe even a year. When I do, I want the Scorched Lands to be an ally, not a foe. In exchange, I promise to spare your lives here and now."
And as a final show of power, Rael went back to the mind realm and proceeded to summon a pillar, lifting himself up to the very top of the mind realm, where a single cocoon hovered peacefully.
The moment he touched it, Rael took over the body of the very person he'd been offering these terms to in the first place.
Her heart was beating much faster than he expected, which meant his intimidation worked.
"Hmm..." Rael hummed in a feminine voice as he stared at his actual body's face.
Without wasting a moment, he walked forward, stabbed the staff into the ground, and reached for his own hand.
And, like the innocent soul he definitely was, Rael taxed her.
<Payment Sent: 250,000,000 Trell.>
<The recipient has 5 minutes to accept or deny your payment.>
He closed his eyes with a smile and reopened them in his own body.
<Synaptic Hijack has finished!>
<Payment Received: 250,000,000 Trell. Accept? Yes/No>
<Confirmed.>
<Balance Updated: +250,000,000 Trell | New Balance: 1,516,751,533 Trell>

Rael flashed a warm smile and glanced straight into her shocked silver eyes.
"So, Aria Draconia, what do you say to my offer?"
<Primordial Sight has greatly affected the target!>
