Arjun was no longer just a survivor; he was becoming a force of nature. However, as he moved deeper into the city's 'Red Zone,' he encountered a pack of 'Frenzy-Hounds'—mutants that shared a hive mind. If he attacked one, a hundred would descend upon him. He couldn't fight them all, but he could break their connection.
[Target Identified: Hive-Mind Alpha. Requirement: Bio-Electric disruption.]
Arjun used Shadow Camouflage to get close to the Alpha. Instead of killing it instantly, he gripped its spine, allowing the Apex Gene to interface with the creature's Central Nervous System.
[Initiating Neuro-Synaptic Hijack...]
Arjun felt a surge of electricity through his fingertips. His own Neurons began to emit a specific frequency of Neurotransmitters. He wasn't just killing the beast; he was rewriting its commands.
[Evolution Successful: New Skill Unlocked - 'Neural Override']
[Effect: Send a bio-electric pulse to 'hack' the nervous system of lower-level mutants. Can force enemies to attack each other.]
With a thought, Arjun sent a pulse. The Alpha Hound froze, its eyes glowing with a faint purple hue. Suddenly, it turned around and tore into its own pack. The hive mind was in chaos. Arjun stood in the center of the carnage, untouched—the puppet master of the apocalypse.
