I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

He hadn\'t even used his full strength yet, but the level three undead was already dead.

"Hey, was this the mere Level Three Undead that you were so scared of?" Ray turned towards Elsha and chuckled.

"How?"

Sibley didn\'t reply, her gaze still on the splattered remains of the undead Level Three Undead with disbelief written clearly in her eyes.

"Did the seer really lie to me?" The cold hue brushed past her face as she slowly closed her eyes to analyse the things in her mind with a calm mind.

"No, she didn\'t lie to me because she didn\'t have to lie to me for no reason, it\'s just that…"

Her eyes turned towards Ray and froze in place.

"What?" Ray asked with a smile on her face.

Sibley immediately bowed to the ground in a Japanese seiza style, her body trembling as she uttered,

"I am willing to accept any punishment, but please spare my life..."

Ray squinted his eyes. All he could see in her trembling bowing body was despair—despair deeply ingrained to the bone.

"I can spare your life, but you\'ll have to become a breeding mother for life, essentially my slave," he spoke casually, as if he had not decided her fate for her entire life.

"Yes."

Sibley\'s eyes lit up as she bowed her head repeatedly.

Ray paid her little attention and instead looked around with a confused expression.

In his black pupils, all that reflected were the hues of the snow and nothing more.

But Ray had an instinctive feeling that something had been watching them at the last moment, as he pummelling and destroyed the Level Three Undead Bee.

"Was that my imagination?"

The thought crossed his mind, but he quickly shook his head. There was no way he was imagining it.

His sharp senses, honed after reaching the celestial level, wouldn\'t lie to him. Besides, it felt far too distinct to be a figment of his imagination.

Ray looked ahead, his eyes narrowed in contemplation.

"Umm, can you please fly me out of this place? Once my invisibility runs out, I\'ll freeze to death."

…

Deep within the core of the Earth, far beyond the molten layers of iron and nickel, there existed an anomaly—a hidden chamber untouched by time.

This chamber, nestled in the heart of the planet where no life should have thrived, its walls forged from glistening iron and shimmering nickel, reflecting the molten glow of the magma surrounding it. It resembled a cave, though far too perfect,

At the centre of the chamber lay a wooden bed, stark and out of place against the metallic surroundings, and upon it, a woman rested.

Her figure was draped in soft green cloth, delicate and flowing as though she had been asleep for centuries. Her body lay motionless, frozen in a state between life and death, her skin cold as ice and unnaturally pale, with numerous cracks emitting an aura of desolation and decay.

A delicate feather materialised above her, spinning softly as it descended, carried by an invisible breeze. The feather was the colour of red and blue slowly touching her nose.

The moment it finally touched the tip of her nose, a faint glow pulsed from the feather, sending a subtle ripple across her motionless form.

Her brow twitched ever so slightly, the only sign of life. The eerie pallor of her skin, ghostly like a corpse, began to stir with a fragile warmth, as if a hidden force deep within was awakening. Slowly, her complexion regained a faint flush, the signs of vitality creeping back step by step.

The woman opened her eyes slowly.

Immediately, the world trembled, as if responding in sync. Everything seemed to resonate with her presence.

"Did the plan fail?"

As she stood, these words escaped her lips, and her emerald eyes flashed with a white light.

She extended her hand, and a green sceptre appeared in her grasp.

"The plan to wipe those filthy animals from the world and restore it to its peaceful, prosperous, green state has failed because of a single variable."

Her eyes narrowed, anger visibly etched on her face.

"Those pesky monkeys," she spat, her fist trembling.

"I went to sleep after those lizards dared to destroy nearly half the world\'s resources. I wiped them out with my power, but it caused me to slumber for aeons."

"When I awoke, those vermin monkeys had already occupied the world, brimming with the slaughter of my children. I was powerless and helpless."

"This is definitely a scheme by my seven brothers," she muttered, her fist trembling with even more rage, "one of them must have done it to grab the attention of dad."

"Humans, those pesky vermin monkeys are so similar to us, especially with their strange weapons that can even weaken my power. I could only watch helplessly as my children, the source of my strength, were slaughtered."

"There were some humans who sought to protect my children, but the greedy vermin wouldn\'t leave them alone."

"The destruction caused by these vermin monkeys was even more terrifying than the lizards, and I was powerless to stop it."

"One day, a strange creature appeared before me..."

Her eyes flashed with a peculiar light as she recalled her memories, clarity slowly returning to her mind.

"Hmm, what was that strange creature?" she muttered, raising her scepter. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn\'t fully discern the nature of the creature.

One thing was certain: that strange creature had brought her the plan for the apocalypse, and she had turned the very weapon of those vermin monkeys into their own destruction!

She also recalled her children; barely one hundredth of her power was left in her body now.

"Who is this vermin monkey?"

She looked at the last scene of a tall man with short hair and deep black eyes pummeling the creature in a snowy landscape.

"His name?" She tilted her head. "Ray!"

"Good, good," the pale-skinned woman covered in green began to laugh, madness glinting in her eyes.

"This vermin monkey dared to resist. I will kill them, kill them all."

Rage burned in her bloodshot eyes, filled with madness, as she stomped her sceptre onto the iron ground.

The whole world shook as changes began to take place. The mutation energy in the world underwent another transformation, washing the entire earth in a new tide!

…

Ray was flying in the sky with Sibley suspended, barely clinging to his hand in the air, carried like a ragged doll and he wasn\'t gentle with her as well.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, he paused as his eyes darted everywhere as he sensed the world changing rapidly in moments.

Although it seemed that nothing had visibly changed, Ray could definitely feel it—the mutation energy in the air had become denser.

When Ray looked down at the ground, he saw creatures rapidly mutating and becoming undead in great numbers right before his eyes. Humans were turning into undead at a higher rate, while animals were fewer in number, with most of them dying.

"What… what just happened, Ray?" Sibley\'s expression shifted to confusion.

"You felt that too?" Ray looked at Sibley with curiosity.

"Yeah."

Sibley replied honestly, having gradually become more open with Ray.

"I don\'t know, but it seems like the whole world has changed again. Didn\'t your seer mention anything about this?"

"No, she didn\'t. From the future, she said this didn\'t happen at all!" Sibley shook her head firmly.

"Oh, it didn\'t happen?" Ray raised his eyebrows.

"What about me? Did I do exactly as the seer said?"

"No, she didn\'t mention you at all from the future," Sibley groaned.

"I guess she\'s not incompetent after all," Ray muttered, looking at Sibley. "And this \'seer\' isn\'t so omniscient after all."

He sneered, thinking that if she were truly omniscient, she would never have meddled with him. This realisation relieved him of some worries he had about potentially slaughter them all down to the last bit.

If this Seer was truly omniscient then, Ray might not exist until now.

As Ray pondered, his hand tightened around Sibley\'s arm.

"Show me the way."

"Alright, alright!" Sibley screamed in pain and hurriedly pointed in the direction, which was overseas.

Ray shot into the air, his speed comparable to a Thrust SSC, reaching Mach 1 as he flew rapidly, his figure blurring.

Sibley felt dizzy and nauseous almost immediately and could only helplessly become invisible, or her body might really burst from the sheer speed of Ray.

He soon arrived on another continent, and Sibley dutifully guided him to the location while recalling it carefully.

"By the way, how did you even get there in the first place, given that you\'re such a weakling?" Ray couldn\'t help but ask curiously.

"There\'s something called jet planes that can be used," Sibley thought to herself, rolling her eyes internally but not daring to voice this out loud.

"I came in a jet plane."

"Oh, have you controlled the entire government?" Ray raised his eyebrows.

"Not just the government. We control the entire continent, although we don\'t protect it. The entire military is under our control, in fact, not just on this continent but almost across all six continents except Africa."

"Why is that?" Ray tilted his head.

"There are terrifying undead creatures… and the terrain is…"

"Forget it."

Soon, Sibley led Ray to the "base," but all Ray saw was an empty, scorched land.

"Where is it?"

"I swear, it was here," Sibley said hurriedly, her voice tinged with despair.
