I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

The sound of flesh slapping against flesh echoed in the room for a long time.

Ray sat casually on the bed while Sibley moved up and down on him, moaning but wearing an expression of exhaustion.

"Move faster," he ordered, giving her another casual slap on the ass. Sibley obeyed, speeding up, her tired face betraying her strain as she moaned louder.

This continued for hours until the cold moon gave way to the warm sun, which slowly rose on the horizon.

The birds began to chirp, and the buzzing of insects from the surrounding area finally ceased, replaced by a serene, beautiful calm.

Ray stepped out of the room, a satisfied smile on his lips.

Inside the room, Sibley's naked body lay sprawled on the bed, her tongue hanging out and her pupils rolled back, her body covered in numerous markings.

"Another Awakened Child, huh?"

He glanced at the red panel in front of him, feeling much better now that all his stress had been released.

Of course, he hadn't used his full strength—if he had, her entire body would have been torn apart by now, but it wasn't.

He could feel the warm energy flowing through him, gradually enhancing every part of his body.

But this felt like a drop in the river—completely inconsequential, with no noticeable change in his strength.

After all, his stats were already too high. While spreading his gene always resulted in a sizable increase in power, it was still limited, and the gain was a fixed amount, depending on whether the recipient could Awaken or not.

[You have awakened a new skill: (A-class) Water Arts. Do you want to activate it?]

"Only an A-class skill, huh?" Ray thought with some disappointment as he swiftly activated the skill.

Immediately, a warm energy flowed through his body, and he distinctly felt some changes within. His mutation energy attributes also changed slightly with it.

"I've gained water attributes in my mutation energy now, huh..." Ray thought to himself. He had grown even more familiar with his mutation energy, thoroughly understanding it by now.

"But wait, why is Water Arts ranked higher than Lightning Arts?"

Ray paused, his eyes gradually widening.

It is said that the four basic elements of nature are all equal and nothing extraordinary, even in most fiction...

"It might not be so in reality."

Ray muttered with a glint in his eyes.

Either way, Water Arts could be an A-class while Lightning Arts was only a B-class art, showing its key difference.

"What's so special about this art?" Ray thought carefully.

Even the Lord of the Sky was an A-class skill, and only with the merge of Lightning Arts could this skill be considered as a pseudo S-class skill.

"And this water art skill could be comparable to that?"

Ray quickly considered the information in his mind, searching for anything useful that could even come close to the level of the Overlord of the Sky.

But he would never underestimate this skill. If even Gene Scryonisation was such a terrifying skill as an A-class skill, it would be a wonder if the potential of this skill was not as it seems.

"For now, I can only manipulate water into different shapes, just like with Lightning Arts," Ray thought as he continued walking in a certain direction, his mind constantly churning with thoughts.

As he went further, the security around him increased, and there were various undead creatures he had placed, constantly surveying the situation. He could practically maintain these undead infinitely since he recovered his mutation energy faster than he could summon them.

With his mental strength having increased, it was now linked to his mutation energy recovery rate, which had grown significantly as well.

"I can recover at least a hundred thousand mutation energy per second," Ray muttered as he approached a metal door.

The door was made entirely of tungsten, one of the hardest metals. But to Ray...

He reached for the door handle and tried to open it slowly, only for it to break almost effortlessly in his hand.

"This door feels too weak," Ray muttered. Of course, he could perfectly control all his strength, but he was testing it by exerting a bit more force, and this already broke.

When Ray entered, he was greeted by numerous people in white coats.

They murmured as they stared at the computers, with dark circles under their eyes, always busy with almost a hint of fanaticism colouring their eyes as they did their work.

The giant quantum computer at the side and the numerous cables that connected them with virtual projections being shown, no doubt felt like something out of a sci-fi movie.

But the most peculiar thing was at the centre where a green orb was lying there, covered in the tube, constantly being shown on the monitor, every nook and cranny being analysed to the extreme.

They were so focused that even the loud sound of the door opening couldn't faze them as they did their work.

"How is it going, Jack?" Ray shook his head helplessly as he found his lead researcher quickly.

"Eh?" Jack was busily murmuring to his assistant, his eyes wide as he looked at the green orb as if it was his wife. When he heard the deep voice, he was immediately stunned as he turned around to look at Ray.

"What?"

"Jack." Ray gave a firm pat to Jack with a smile on his face.

"Ouch, yes boss."

"Now that's an attitude." Ray nodded in approval. "I told you not to work to the point of not sleeping, and what are you guys doing?"

"But this is the greatest discovery I have ever seen in the world, Boss," Jack exclaimed. He seemed to almost jump around like a monkey, his eyes brightened with a hint of fanaticism that made it feel like his entire life depended on it.

"This thing seems to have infinite energy, a never-ending energy to be precise, while it can also absorb the energy from the sun and turn it into its own energy."

"Why are you even so excited about that? Isn't that the same as the solar panels and the plants and trees?" Ray rolled his eyes.

"No, this is not as simple as that," Jack shook his head. "The energy it produces is very mysterious, and the rate of absorption of the sun's energy is unlike anything we've seen. It could very well cause the entire sunlight in an area of a kilometre to be instantly absorbed the moment it shows up."

"It's as if it was made to absorb the energy of the sun, while those plants and trees were just prototypes for it," Jack spoke with fervor.

"A prototype, huh?" Ray frowned as he went into a deep thoughtful expression.

If it was said while he was still an ordinary being, then he would likely not believe it, not in a million years…

But things were different, as Ray used his Analyzer skill to understand this thing.

He knew that this was a part of the power of a planetary being.

A terrifying entity that was even higher than his celestial body. Ray wouldn't dare to imagine the strength gap, as its power would be on another scale altogether.

"Made to absorb the power of the sun."

Ray looked at the green orb and used his Analyze skill. He could pretty much only see the things that Jack had described, but this prototype assumption was completely beyond his understanding, and something seemed to be clicking in his mind, but he couldn't exactly put his finger on it.

"I need more information," he concluded, his brows knotting together.

"Anything else?" Ray looked at Jack.

"No, it might have been easier if there was AI involved, but the AI on our earth isn't developed to assist us in understanding this mysterious thing," Jack put his head down.

"It's fine, you have done your job," Ray commented. "Keep analysing it to the extreme. It doesn't matter if you need to access the technology of this entire continent's country or even the other countries from other continents, it doesn't matter at all."

"Thanks, boss," Jack's eyes lit up.

"You can also recruit some capable individuals as well," Ray commented slightly as he walked up to the green orb and broke it in one go.

"What are you doing, boss?" Jack hurriedly spoke with widened eyes.

"Shh," Ray said, putting his finger to his mouth.

At this time, everyone stopped in their tracks, and their eyes were glued to the green orb.

"I wonder if what I think could be true or not. If it is true, then… if it is not, then it wouldn't hurt trying…"

While thinking of this, Ray slowly floated out of the room, leaving the researchers completely speechless.

"Boss, we still have not researched the green orb, you bastard," Jack cried out loud, not even caring about his life.

"Don't let me find out if it is true…"

Ray seemed to have turned a deaf ear as he slowly floated in the air in the hallway.
