Superpower Sequence

Biodata

Power Progression

The following milestones document Jiang He's advancement. Additional sequence awakenings and acquired skills are distinguished from increases in level.

Awakening and Advancement

Sequence Crystals

• Direct consumption: Humans can awaken a Superpower Sequence by swallowing a special crystal, but the success rate is below 30% 5.
• System fusion: Jiang He's All Things Fusion System guarantees successful awakening through crystal fusion. He initially intends to use this method, but an immediate threat forces him to swallow his first crystal instead 5.
• Crystal sources: Jiang He obtains crystals while killing Demon Seed creatures. Wang Qian later reveals that her and Liu Lu's original crystals came from the Thunder Convoy, rather than being found by chance 35 49.
• Multiple sequences: Jiang He retains Berserker while subsequently awakening Priest and Thief through his system. The system states that fusion costs multiply as his number of awakened sequences increases 46 48.

Advancement Resources

Ranks, Levels, and Limits

• Sequence rank and personal level are separate measurements. Berserker has sequence rank 4258, while Jiang He advances from his initial awakening to level 2 without changing that sequence's identity 6 9 25.
• A level advantage does not guarantee victory. Higher-ranked sequences can possess unusual abilities capable of threatening a stronger-level opponent 21.
• Combat aptitude varies by sequence. Wang Qian's Technician is explicitly treated as a support rather than combat sequence; Priest and Thief are also identified as non-combat types when Jiang He appraises their crystals 33 39.
• Superpower reserves are limited. Newly awakened users can activate their abilities only a few times. Liu Lu's attacks weaken and fail as his reserves run out 6 23.
• Recovery takes time. Jiang He waits for his ability to recover after testing Death Coil 42 43.
• Awakening does not remove basic biological needs. Jiang He still requires oxygen despite his enhanced body 18.
• Ordinary users remain vulnerable to monsters. Fighting a single Weird or Mutant Beast of the same level is described as the limit for an ordinary sequence user 15.
• One skill per level is unconfirmed. Jiang He proposes this explanation after obtaining Flame Jet, but the system does not answer him 10.

Documented Physical Enhancement

• An ordinary person's average basic physical attribute is 10 9 25.
• Jiang He's enhanced senses allow him to overhear deliberately quiet conversations. His appetite also increases sharply; one meal amounts to eight times an ordinary person's intake 9 10.
• His luck increase from 20 to 80 is explicitly marked as a system bonus, rather than an ordinary sequence benefit 9 25.

Known Sequences and Skills

Berserker

Rank: 4258. Known user: Jiang He 6.

• Fire Control: Controls flames and reshapes them freely. Creatures killed by a Berserker's flames lose the ability to resurrect 6.
• Flame Jet: Converts superpower into compressed, high-temperature flames released from the palm as a long-range pillar of fire 10.
• Combined use: Fire Control redirects Flame Jet's flames and shapes them into precise weapons, including a sword used to pierce the Insect Mother's heart 13 18.
• Fuel efficiency: Using gasoline reduces Jiang He's superpower expenditure to one-fifth for approximately the same Flame Jet effect 48.

Assassin

Rank: 4107. Known user: Liu Lu 22 23.

• Infinite Assassination: Locks onto a target within range and launches successive translucent black energy attacks that pierce everything in their path 23.
• Scaling: Greater superpower allows more consecutive attacks 23.
• Drawback: Launching more than two attacks in one use makes the user rigid until those attacks dissipate 23.

Technician

Rank: 5124. Known user: Wang Qian 23.

• Mechanical Manipulation: Improves understanding of mechanical components, permits the creation or modification of mechanical objects, and allows nearby machinery to attack enemies 23.
• Activation bonuses: Attack power increases by 10%; intelligence and agility increase by 100% 23.
• Practical applications: Wang Qian uses it to start and drive Jiang He's upgraded bus. A fingerprint lock also fails to prevent her entry into the camper 33 48.
• Limit: Even a Technician can struggle to repair a severely wrecked vehicle 22.

Priest

Rank: 3090. Known user: Jiang He 39 46.

• Superpower Healing: Increases superpower recovery speed by 200% and injury recovery speed by 150%. It can operate during combat without preventing other ability use 39 46.
• Cost: Self-healing consumes no superpower; healing others consumes a small amount 46.
• Duration and cooldown: At Jiang He's documented strength, it operates for 30 minutes per hour. Greater strength improves its effect and duration while shortening its cooldown 46 48.
• Rarity: Recovery-type support skills are described as extremely scarce in the apocalypse 46.

Thief

Rank: 6189. Known user: Jiang He 39 48.

• Flying Flowers and Clinging Leaves: Increases running speed by 100%, reduces body weight by 80%, and increases physical agility by 30% 48.
• Cost and availability: Consumes little superpower, with no cooldown or usage limit 48.
• Practical effect: Jiang He covers a route in 51 seconds that would normally require six or seven minutes. He initially struggles with balance but adapts through testing 48.

Unidentified Transformation Sequence

• An unnamed woman alters her appearance, first while rescuing Jiang He and later to impersonate Rampage Group member Li Zhuang and obtain food 6 10.
• Its sequence name and rank are not disclosed in the provided encounters 6 10.

Interactions with Supernatural Objects and Creatures

Role in Survivor Groups

• Authority: Liu Lu's awakening ends opposition to his convoy rules. Sequence users commonly suppress or kill challengers when establishing control 11.
• Recruitment value: Wang Qian considers a Superpower Crystal valuable enough to replace the Rampage Group's lost sequence user 35.
• Preferential treatment: Jiang He's convoy assigns seating partly by powers and contribution. Existing passengers must surrender certain seats when new sequence users join 42 43.
• Growth during the heavy fog: Jiang He expects increased monster encounters to create more opportunities for survivors to kill creatures and become sequence users, despite the accompanying rise in deaths 28.
