My God-Level System Can Rebuild Civilization in the Apocalypse!

After all, in any fusion there was always one side that served as the primary component while the other became secondary.

Just like a cat with a split colored face, nobody would look at its markings and become unable to determine whether it was an orange tabby, a calico, or a tortoiseshell.

As for this struggle for dominance inside zombie Chimeras, Joo Joowon speculated that perhaps Mental Power or even the soul itself played a role.

Only that explanation could account for why, in most cases, the human side remained dominant in zombies fused with animals.

Of course, Joo Joowon was not a researcher.

He had no particular interest in the origins of Chimeras.

After all, understanding how they were created would not necessarily reveal any weaknesses he could exploit.

Joo Joowon’s fingers moved slightly.

Several strands of spider silk quietly spread outward.

Since every aspect of this creature’s habits, appearance, and behavior resembled a rooster far more than a zombie, perhaps using the same methods humans used to catch chickens would prove more effective.

First tie up its legs.

Then prevent its eyes from seeing any light.

Chickens were creatures that usually struggled violently while being captured.

However, once their legs were tied and nobody continued bothering them, they would calm down surprisingly quickly.

If the surrounding environment was dark as well, they would usually stop making any noise at all.

This was the darkness covering method that worked against most animals.

Joo Joowon only decided to try it because the creature’s habits and characteristics were so obviously rooster-like.

Unfortunately, the creature was still a zombie rather than a genuine animal, so naturally it did not react exactly the same way an ordinary chicken would.

Its body had become restrained without it realizing what had happened, and the Chicken Chimera immediately became confused.

It then flapped its wings in panic wildly and cried out.

"Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!"

Joo Joowon blinked his eyes in surprise.

Every Chimera he had encountered before, regardless of what kind of animal they had fused with, had always produced the same growling sounds that ordinary zombies made.

This was the first time he had ever encountered a Chimera whose cries remained identical to those of its original animal form.

Judging from its behavior, its beastly instincts even seemed to have overwhelmed its zombie nature.

Of course, none of that really changed anything.

If this had been a hen, he might have been tempted to see whether it could still lay eggs.

Since it was a rooster, however, it held no additional value beyond its current purpose.

Joo Joowon used spider silk to cover the Chicken Chimera’s eyes.

Because it could no longer see, rather than calming down, the Chicken Chimera began attacking indiscriminately in every direction. Throwing back its head, it released a loud and powerful rooster crow.

When the sound waves reached Joo Joowon, he felt his Mental Power ripple slightly.

The sensation was similar to wind passing across the surface of water, creating brief waves before quickly fading away without causing any actual harm.

He could clearly tell that this was not a purely psychic attack.

Instead, it was a combination of sound waves and Mental Power.

It merely brushed against the edges of psychic abilities, and with his current Mental Power attributes, resisting it was naturally no difficulty at all.

Byeol and Hwi, however, were a completely different matter.

Felines already possessed exceptionally sensitive hearing, which meant they suffered much more heavily under the influence of this skill.

It was similar to the sonic attack Joo Joowon had encountered earlier when he was surrounded by Chimeras.

Their bodies froze completely where they stood.

They had been immobilized.

With the assistance of the sound waves, the Chicken Chimera immediately determined Joo Joowon and the cats’ location.

Although its legs remained bound, it was hardly a creature that relied solely on close combat in order to attack.

As it flapping its wings violently, it opened its beak and spat out a ball of blazing fire directly toward the direction it had sensed.

Joo Joowon easily dodged the attack while carrying Byeol and Hwi with him, then immediately used spider silk to bind the creature’s beak shut, giving it no chance to resist.

He had no intention of letting the Chimera waste its skills on him.

What if it became completely useless by the time it faced the army of ants?

Joo Joowon had never expected such a pleasant surprise.

The Chimera’s abilities actually belonged to the rarer categories.

That meant it should also be considered one of the more talented Chimeras, the kind with considerable potential for future growth.

That was even better.

At a glance, it was obvious that this creature would be able to endure much longer against the ant army.

Joo Joowon picked it up and left the area.

Only then did Byeol finally recover from its rigid state.

Its eyes burned with murderous intent as though it wanted to pluck every single feather from the Chicken Chimera.

Joo Joowon quickly stopped it.

The skills related to Mental Power were notoriously difficult to avoid.

At this stage, they were practically guaranteed to hit their targets.

If possible, Joo Joowon actually wanted Byeol and Hwi to experience this kind of attack several more times.

Perhaps their resistance to Mental attacks would improve because of it.

If that happened, they might eventually be able to break free from such skills much more quickly in real combat instead of being forced to wait helplessly for the effects to end.

The Big Belly Zombie had given Joo Joowon an excellent demonstration.

As long as one’s strength was sufficient, it was entirely possible to break free ahead of time.

Joo Joowon himself was now in a similar state.

Attacks that only brushed against the edges of Mental Power could not be described as completely harmless to him, but they certainly would not affect his ability to move.

After returning to the vicinity of the ant nest, Joo Joowon hid himself in the shadows and carefully observed the surroundings.
