[Congratulations! Mind Bottleneck has been broken!]
[Host has achieved initial level Mind Control!]
[Host has achieved intermediate level Mind Power!]
On seeing this detailed system notification, Sebastian went into deep thought as he tried to replicate the scene in his head where he was forced to make use of the inherited magic ability in the battle against the Leviathon.
Faced against the OP Atomic Breath attack of the Leviathon, Sebastian was pushed to the brink after trying all his normal methods to block it.
Having strictly instructed himself not to make use of his unique skills at the time as he wanted to test his normal limits, he could only try to be creative, and given the small-time frame, he could only think of his telekinesis ability.
When Sebastian first received this inherited magic ability from his system, seeing a familiar term like telekinesis, he was hyped by its prospects.
When he discovered that he could not use it again, of course, he was disappointed. A few months later, after his purple tier evolution where all his base attributes experienced an outrageous increase, he could finally use it.
To his dismay though, the telekinesis ability didn't offer as much OPness as he expected. With skills like his Rasengan and his bloodline skills, the allure and importance of the telekinesis ability seemed to reduce with time.
Despite the disappointment, he never gave up on this ability.
The fact that this was the core ability of the late Ocean King said a lot, this was why he actively invested a lot of time and effort into trying to work it out.
Now, for the first time, his system notification just gave him a prompt that pointed him in the right direction.
When pushed by the danger of the atomic breath, his creativeness was put to the test and he came victorious again by creating the Telekinesis wall skill.
Instantly after this, his system declared that he had a mental breakthrough.
From the notification breakdown by his system, he now achieved an initial level of Mind Control while also achieving an intermediate level of Mind Power.
Sebastian having seen a similar power scale once illustrated by his system could already guess the next progressive levels but he still asked.
"System, what are the other levels of the Mind Power scale?"
[Mind Power Scale is divided into the initial, intermediate, advanced, master level, and grandmaster level.]
With this, Sebastian finally understood. His perception of the Telekinesis ability was flawed from the beginning, telekinesis was not a skill like his Rasengan, this was an ability that could be seen like his sound magic domain.
The only difference between his magic domain and this was that the latter took his mana as its energy source, while Telekinesis took his mental energy as its energy source.
In a sense, they were different sides of the same coin, all made for the purpose to give him a variety of attack methods in battle.
And clearly, for his telekinesis to become OP enough for it to become another powerful alternative to his magic domain is if he could improve through the power scales of this Mind scale.
Sebastian didn't know how much he improved with this breakthrough, but the fact that he easily created another skill like the Telekinesis Wall gave him a vague idea of what to expect from the skill.
Clearly, his Mind Control stat was related to his proficiency at creating telekinesis skills while his Mind Power was probably related to the power of the skills and how he utilized them in battle.
Sebastian was pleasantly surprised by this discovery. With this, a new world of the Telekinesis magic ability finally became open to him.
The obscured world behind this ability finally became clear a bit.
Sebastian was not sure how leveling up to the intermediate level of Mind Power improved his attack power with his telekinesis skills, but his intuition told him that this was by a lot, and all he needed was creating the right skills.
Perhaps, his Telekinesis powers were finally proving their chops.
Now came the conundrum. Sebastian was imaginative, he knew it, but since transmigrating into this world, he was so used to purchasing skills from his system that suddenly having to create them himself sounded alien to him.
He would have loved to dabble into this creative world in normal circumstances as it would allow him to fulfill some of his old-world fantasies.
The thought of becoming so OP that he could move entire seamounts with his telekinesis ability, throwing them at enemies and dealing tons of damages sounded so appealing to him that he practically drooled at the prospects.
All his imagination soon deflated though, coming to a stop.
Unfortunately, the current circumstances were not normal that would enable him to take it slow and easy, he didn't have all the time in the world.
With the threat of the Ancient Cthulu looming over Oceania and the universe as a whole, he could not afford to take things easy, this also meant that the time to be creating telekinesis skills, he could better use it for something else.
Then this brought the question. If he needed to create the skills, what prevented his system from performing its duty like usual and giving him a ready-made version of these skills?
Sebastian acted on it immediately. He accessed his main system store, but to his disappointment, he discovered no skills related to telekinesis there.
He did not give up though, there was still his evolution system store. He couldn't wait till his next evolution before developing his telekinesis prowess though, so he just decided to explore more ways to cheat his way through this.
This was the main use of his system Afterall, so why kill himself?
Once Sebastian completed his analysis of the telekinesis ability following the system notification, in the satisfied state that he currently was, he finally started going extensively through his battle against the Leviathon.
This battle could not be said to be his fiercest battle yet having once fought in a battle that involved 2 Black tier existences, but 1 on 1, Sebastian believed that this was probably his most intense battle.
In this battle, he got a rare opportunity to test his limits, fighting an opponent that forced him to really go all out without being smacked to death immediately.
In this battle, he got to use all his skills for the first time. From the melee showdown to the magic domain showdown, to the bloodline skill showdown, they all made this battle all the more intense and legendary.
Through the battle, he was able to understand himself better, including his skills and how much effective damage they could deal in battle.
He was able to know how much his skin could withstand damage, and the effects of all his adaptations, most especially the Dense Muscle Fiber Defense. In the battle, this adaptation increased his defense in a way that he did not expect.
He was also able to see most of his passive skills in action. After getting it for a long time, he finally got to see his Undying Zombie passive skill in action for the first time which was such a thrilling encounter to him.
He also perfected his battle style in this battle.
All in all, Sebastian was extremely satisfied with the battle.
Now, he really knew his body and how much he could push himself in battle like a textbook. This was extremely useful as it could prove to be a life-changer in any of his fierce battles that he would be engaged in not long from now.
Of all these gains, Sebastian was happier for the insights that fighting against the Leviathon gave for his ultimate vessel creation plan.
At this moment, he was stoked, he could not wait to start his plan.
That same day, he met Eliana as preparations for the experiment officially began in full force.
