Capabilities[]

Users possesses a mass consciousness; an extremely powerful form of consciousness that can connect with the thoughts and feelings of numerous sentient beings. This effectively and immediately capacities them into the user’s very own consciousness, mindset, and drives that mentally and psychically strengthen and empower themselves. In essence, user can make anyone and everyone who comes in contact with this power a part of the collective consciousness. This centralizes the user as the prime host for them all, the more consciousness are added the stronger users become.

This is accomplished by using a very effective type of neural psychic virus, which automatically converts the conscious and subconscious thoughts towards the wielder's favor. It also spreads from host to host, collecting more & more minds into the link, collecting many consciousnesses into one's own consciousness. With enough practice, users can have full control of the psychic network that interconnects and fabricates the collective consciousness flawlessly.

Users are capable of various psionic and neurological effects such as adding or even remove any mind in the system, transferring various information to others. They can even allow others to have their free will and personal thoughts restored entirely and still be linked to them, with or without them knowing it. They are able to live among free people and manipulate anyone the users wishes at will.

Individuals who are added to the collective are see the user as the original host of the collective consciousness who grant users access to endless thoughts, memories, and information that users can use and share with others. They are each assimilated mind in the collective, forever coexisting with the originals as prime beings.

They are capable of having the entire world, galaxies, the universe, or even the entire omniverse under their mercy, capable of doing just about anything; with this power users can do whatever they wish from ruling, destroying, coexisting and so much more.
