I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

Ray hovered in the air as the cold wind brushed against his face, his short black hair fluttering. The hair on his head, brows, and other parts of his body were slowly regrowing, though at a normal pace, despite Ray's many healing abilities.

He stood tall and proud, still holding Sibley with one hand.

Sibley's expression was filled with despair.

"If you surrendered, would Aurora come back?" Ray chuckled, an amused smile on his face as he surveyed the devastation before him.

The entire hive had been erased, reality itself seeming to break apart but slowly mending.

This was Ray's full strength in action.

"She… she won't come back," Sibley stammered, her despair deepening. "But can't you summon her from the dead?"

Ray gave her a deep look and said, "She will still be dead nonetheless, although I have also bound her soul to my summon. If, in the future, I could make her alive again, but..."

His eyes flashed with a malevolent gaze, making Sibley shudder even more.

At this time, a cracking sound came from the ruined wasteland.

"Hmm?" Ray looked in front of him with a curious gaze, and immediately his eyes flashed with excitement.

"Can it even survive my punch?" he muttered while tightening his fist.

"What 'it' can survive your punch?" Sibley couldn't help but ask instinctively.

"The level three undead," Ray said after giving her a glance.

"The... the level three undead bee," her body trembled, "we are going to die. You do not know the horror of a level three undead."

"Really?" Ray asked with a smile. "How do you know about its horror then?"

"It's because the Seer told me of its horror. It can summon an army of bees and has the power to destroy a country. Even the 'big mommy' released couldn't completely destroy it, almost causing the entire humanity to be annihilated!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Interesting," Ray spoke lightly and stopped paying attention to her as he casually released her to the ground.

"Let's have a long battle."

The corner of his lips curled into a smile, and in his vision, a shadow was rapidly enlarging.

Boom!

All Ray heard was the buzzing sound of a bee, and his vision filled with darkness as Ray was sent hurtling through the place, sending him far away.

Sibley looked on in despair as a bee stood on two legs like a human, with a black carcass and two long, segmented antennas twitched atop its head.

The creature's most unsettling feature was the grotesque sting protruding from its back, rising even higher than its head, standing rigid and sharp like a spear.

There was a "3" marking on its head.

The bee tilted its head and looked at Sibley with its crimson eyes filled with killing intent. It opened its proboscis as if trying to speak, but no words came out of its mouth, only a blood-curdling scream.

The level three bee paused for a moment, as if trying to clear its throat before it tried to open its proboscis again.

"Are… you… the… one… who… killed… my… human… mother?"

The voice was extremely strained but filled with rage after uttering these words. This level three bee seemed to have been possessed and filled with rage.

What was the greatest difference after a creature has been affected by the mutational energy compared to a living creature? It was sheer rage and anger that consumed their entire being.

Except for rage and hatred, there would be nothing left, as if an omniscient being was controlling all this and implanting these thoughts into them.

Even if the level of the undead is high and there is a certain wisdom, their instinct of rage and hatred is still engraved in their minds.

This was the same for Kikyo as well. Even if she didn't want to, she would still kill innocent creatures just from the sheer rage and hatred from being undead, no matter how much wisdom she possessed.

After becoming an undead, they were completely helpless, but after they die and Ray summons them from the realm of the dead, they can still be controlled by him. Otherwise, they are truly helpless.

The level three undead bee stomped the ground, creating a terrifying earthquake that almost created a ravine in the ground. Its blood-curdling scream resounded throughout the place, causing Sibley's ears to bleed as she trembled with closed eyes.

"Damn it, that bastard," she spoke with anger. While she was speaking, a faint shadow appeared and hit the level three undead squarely with a thud. The bee turned its head around, but it was too late to react.

The black carcass instantly had a print of a leg as the level three undead bee was sent into the ground, digging deep into the hole underground as it didn't stop for a long time.

"Take this," Ray casually stood up with his torn clothes while wiping the dust away from his body.

"You... you are not dead," Sibley said with disbelief.

"Haha," Ray laughed with an amused smile but didn't reply to her, his gaze still on the ground looking at the place where the bee was launched with a deep gaze.

"It's still alive."

Ray could see some red magma in the deep underground.

That meant he had sent the level three undead bee directly into the magma, but there was still that dense mutational energy in the lava that he hadn't obtained yet.

This dense amount of mutational energy made even Ray slightly startle.

If he could kill this level three undead, then he would definitely get a lot of mutational energy, at least a hundred thousand.

As he was thinking, his eyes could already see a black dot that was rapidly enlarging again.

This time Ray was prepared.

He extended his hand towards the sky, and the weather in the place instantly changed, turning extremely cold. The clouds gathered, and small white ice fell to the ground, with one falling, countless millions followed suit. In the span of a minute, the entire area was instantly covered in snow.

"Let's set up the homefield," Ray snickered.

This was the true power of his A-class skill: Overlord of the Sky.

The only disadvantage was that it consumed too much mutation energy, but for Ray, who already had over one thousand mutation energy from his slaughter, this was absolutely nothing to worry about.

By the time the undead bee was about to arrive, the place had become extremely cold to the point that water would instantly freeze in place, and all heat seemed to be snapped out of existence.

This was even more terrifying than the skill used by Seraphine in the fight with Ray. Ray patiently waited like a predator until the level three undead bee came within close range to him.

With his hand extending forward, a giant ball of ice instantly formed and clogged the entire hole.

"Hmm, this Ice Magic is quite weak," Ray frowned. With the amount of mutation energy in his body and his terrifying mental strength, the ice ball was not big enough, considering that Ice Magic had already reached Awakening III.

But this was a C-class skill, so he wouldn't expect more from it.

"Oh, well," Ray casually turned towards Sibley, who was invisible right now. "If you dare to escape, you will die."

He muttered in a cold tone. With his current state, Ray is able to use his Analyzer skill all the time, so it was almost impossible for Sibley to escape.

"No, I am not running away. If I don't become invisible, then I will be affected by the cold."

"Oh, I forgot you were a weakling," Ray touched his chin and nodded his head, "but you aren't affected by the cold while you are invisible."

"Yes, basic elements of nature cannot affect me; I can only be hurt physically."

"I see, interesting," Ray looked at the ice ball again.

"Is- is that undead already dead?" Sibley tentatively asked.

"No."

Boom!

The ice shattered into pieces as the furious undead bee appeared again; however, compared to its initial speed and strength, it has rapidly weakened.

"This environment really helps," Ray's eyes lit up as he shot forward, punching the undead.

The level three undead bee couldn't dodge in time, so it was hit directly by his fist. Instantly, it was plastered on the ground as the snowy ground broke like webs.

Ray raised his fist and punched again, every fibre of his being working in tandem with his fist filled with power.

His hand moved so fast that it seemed to be close to breaking the barrier of sound effortlessly, and even space itself seemed to be torn.

Bang! Bang!

Ray didn't relent, punching with all his strength combined while slightly in the air to get the benefit from the Overlord of the Sky.

When Ray finally stopped, he looked at the splattered remains of the level three undead bee with a disappointed expression.
