I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

Chapter 148: Divine Skill



"Hmm, the poor section, huh..."

Ray's eyes seemed to burn with fury. "I basically own a continent already, but in this shop's terms, I am still poor."

A bitter smile appeared on his face as he looked at the item he had selected.

[True Eyes (Divine-class): The Divine Eyes that can see through everything and its truth. It is connected to your brain and can give you detailed, filtered information of anything below the Multiversal Beings]

[Condition: Must have a fragment of the skill: Analyser]

[Cost: 500 Shop points]

"This is really not bad," Ray muttered while repeatedly nodding his head, with a little excitement in his eyes. After all, this could potentially help him gain a lot of advantages.

"So I finally know why these skills cannot be upgraded even though their rank is C-class or even A-class; they are just fragments of a higher-class skill that couldn't manifest, huh," he thought to himself.

Ray basically has two skills that are of a higher class but couldn't be upgraded: Totem Master (A-class) and the Analyser (C-class).

Both of these skills couldn't be advanced at all with mutation energy, and people who awakened this skill would likely die in the process of Awakening.

This likely caused Ray to be the only one in humanity to have awakened the Analyser skill, but the other skill, Totem Master, is from Elsha after all.

Elsha still had the skill!

"Oh wait, my women can also use it now if I grant them permission," Ray thought with a smile. "In a week, it will be another great day when Grace gives birth."

Grace was the Ice Magic girl Ray encountered on the ground floor of his house after his encounter with Freya. Although they had started on bad terms, they were now on good terms, with Grace's affection for Ray having reached its peak.

Ray didn't need to worry about his women betraying him, thanks to one simple reason: Gene Synchronisation. Even if they harboured other thoughts, he could gradually mould them into his "shape."

It wouldn't take long, anyway. If they had any stray thoughts, he would know instantly through the Gene Synchronisation skill.

This skill was simply too useful for maintaining his harem. Even if thousands of women are added, not only would Ray gain a slight amount of strengthening from them, he will also be able to manage them.

"Now let's see what this skill could do."

Ray rubbed his hand with a smile on his face. He still had a duty of doing it with the numerous women, as barely ten women he has done it with, including these doctors. Except for that, all the other girls were still in their accommodation.

"I can't keep them waiting for too long, can I?"

With this thought, he decisively purchased his very first skill from the System Shop.

The red panel flickered as another prompt appeared in front of his eyes.

[Ding! The host has purchased the skill: True Eyes (Divine-class) from the System Shop. Do you want to activate it?]

"Yes," Ray replied without hesitation.

He immediately accepted.

Boom!

Blood splattered across the area as Ray collapsed to the ground. His eyes had burst, leaving him eyeless with hollow sockets.

"Huh?" Ray was stunned, frozen in place. Veins began to bulge and throb around his hollow eye sockets. He gritted his teeth, enduring the searing pain.

It felt as if every nerve in his body was being stretched to its absolute limit.

The mutation energy within him seemed to vanish into an abyss, completely draining from his body. The blood that had been pumped fiercely by his heart suddenly slowed, reversing its flow.

"Ah," muffled screams struggled to escape Ray's lips as he crumpled to the ground. His body convulsed, trembling violently, while the veins around his hollow eye sockets throbbed and pulsed grotesquely.

His skin tightened over his skull, pale and slick with sweat, while the throbbing veins around his ruined eyes swelled like writhing serpents beneath the surface.

Each breath Ray took felt like shards of glass scraping through his chest, forcing his muscles to contract in spasms.

Time seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, through the agony of Ray screaming, gradually increasing more and more. The sun had long since disappeared, and darkness enveloped him as night settled in. The moonlight cast an eerie glow across his contorted form.

When the first light of dawn broke over the horizon, Ray was no longer screaming. He lay there, his body limp, his chest rising and falling slowly.

His head seemed to have swelled significantly, and a piece of flesh slowly appeared in his hollow eye socket.

He was soaked in cold sweat, which dripped to the floor, creating a puddle.

Gradually, the piece of flesh mended itself and grew into an eyeball. The veins in his eyes seemed to move on their own to accommodate the new eyeball, directly connecting it to his brain in one go, completing the recovery process easily.

Ray slowly stood up from the ground, his breathing ragged. His eyes remained tightly closed.

After an hour of recovery, he finally opened his eyes, revealing that his left eye was red and his right eye was gold.

"Hmm?"

Ray noticed that the world seemed a little different compared to before.

"The world seemed to become clearer again," he thought, looking at the concrete floor.

Immediately, a series of information appeared in his mind, but this information was well-organised and could be clearly discerned, moving according to his will.

It was as if he could determine the ratio of cement to brick and even how it was created, simply by looking at the filtered information, unlike before when he had to take in all the details at once.

"That can't be all, right?"

Ray muttered with a frown. If a Divine-class skill could only accomplish this, it would be a little disappointing.

"Even an S-class skill would be better if this is all it does."

Suddenly, he noticed that his mutation energy had nearly disappeared.

"Huh, what happened to my mutation energy?"

Ray remembered the scene, and a bitter smile crept up his face.

This skill really made his eyeballs grow new, and all the accumulated Mutation Energy was gone, not to mention the terrifying pain it gave.

"If it is only this, then it would be truly disappointing," he muttered.

He shook his head and scrolled through the shop again. There was one Primordial-class skill for his Totem master as well, but the cost of the skill was even more terrifying, reaching ten-thousand mutation energy.

"What is this classification of skills?" Ray had a look of confusion on his face because he couldn't determine which one was greater, the Divine-class skill or the Primordial skill-class, as there were some skills in the shop which cost much higher than this Primordial skill.

There was even Transcendent-class and Cosmic-skill.

"Weird."

Ray muttered with a frown on his face, "hmm."

He closed his eyes to contemplate.

"Different names of the skill, but they should all be higher than the S-class skill. Their powers are similar, but the difference is…"

Ray looked at each and every skill related to the class.

"It's from different species?"

Finally, this conclusion seemed to be drawn in his mind: "How interesting?"

This could only be the logical difference in the skill, that it was a higher version of S-class skills of different creatures.

Ray wouldn't have believed in aliens unless he saw it, however, as he grew stronger and knowing the presence of the Planetary being which looked like Earth itself, it would be foolish to think that there is only Earth in this world.

The differences in these classes were also high.

The Divine-class skill seemed to contain skills related to supernatural abilities, while the Primordial-class skills were related to physical attributes and eating skills, such as the Devourer skill.

The Transcendent-class skills were more related to training, offering benefits ten times greater, and the Cosmic-class skills were related to celestial bodies, like drawing power from the stars and such.

But all these skills had a condition to fulfil – one needed to have an initial fragmented skill to even have the opportunity to buy the skill, not to mention its terrifying cost.

"Wait then, how did I gain the Analyser skill and Elsha gained the Totem master skill, which is the fragment of a Primordial skill, while mine is a divine skill?" Ray pondered, feeling even more confused.

"Forget it, let's look for something in the poor section and be done with it."

Ray simply stopped thinking, he will know these things when he is capable of knowing it instead of making wild guesses. It was crucial to increase his strength more.

Soon, Ray found an unexpected skill that he didn't expect.

[Super Mechanic(S-class)]

The cost of this skill was a hundred shop points so he immediately bought it.

"Maybe there is one even for my body-strengthening skill." Ray thought as he distinctively searched but couldn't find it.

Then he searched the other section not hoping much but a skill stood out.

[Demonic body (Primordial-class)]

It cost two thousand shop points!
