Chapter 171: Backstory **
"Fine." Mallory said while closing her eyes just as Ray was about to raise his whips again.
"Good."
Ray nodded his head with a curious expression, then he waved his hand behind him.
A chair appeared behind and he slumped in the chair with eyes full of curiosity. He extended his hand and a popcorn appeared in his hand.
Then Ray casually took some popcorn and ate it with a crunching sound.
"Go on."

"..."
For a moment, Mallory was wide-eyed with her brain seemingly processing things.
"Hmm?" Ray raised an eyebrow.
"Fine you bastard…"
Mallory gritted her teeth.
…
"At first I had a lover, my college friend, Alf, we hadn't even touched hands yet. One faithful day when I pulled the courage to invite Alf to my house…" Mallory closed her eyes, gritting her teeth in frustration.
"Then when Alf came over, the apocalypse had already descended so we both were left in the house stranded."
"I was immature and was not of my mind and the food was running out so we went out of the house eventually…"
"Then it happened… Alf killed an undead, he Awakened the skill I have…" Mallory looked at Ray silently.
"You weren't in our future."
"I see." Ray nodded casually while touching his chin, "the future she experienced was it a parallel world or just a simulation."
His eyes flashed.
Even according to his current understanding there was no time travel at all. Time flows at a straight line once it passes it will never return, this is what the theory Ray believed in.
"Continue." Ray took another piece of popcorn and with a crunching sound.
Mallory's brows twitch even more.
"I couldn't Awaken but Alf still didn't abandon me, I did the cooking and all while he scoured for resources that was the happiest time of my life…"
"He gradually grew stronger and stronger reaching to the point where he was fully capable of killing undead level two. We survived together…"
"Then the entire government of all over the world started to move… announcing a purge of the undead… I wanted to stop Alf from leaving me but he didn't…"
"I cried and begged but he still left me to kill the undead… he was a righteous individual…"
Mallory spoke with a reminiscent gaze: "While you… you are just a bastard…"
"There is a saying, good people live shorter and bad people live longer. I don't want to die young." Ray casually shrugged off with a snicker.
The world was a cruel place to live in whether you like it or not. Moral's depended on entirely one person's perspective, there was no good or bad.
From one perspective, Ray was a cruel person who killed his enemies mercilessly but at the same time he has built this paradise in the midst of Accopalyse.
Countless people could fill their stomach and live their lives safely, technology here was rapidly developing at a speed that couldn't even be comprehended before the Apocalypse and everyone could live happily provided that they brought value doing their jobs.
The advancement of humanity was rapid to say the least.
So for Ray it depended on one's perspective whether he was good or not. He was a firm believer of logical thinking, he wouldn't do things out of kindness neither would he do it for the sake of it.
"You will go to hell." Mallory spoke with hatred in her eyes.
"Oh, I have already gone to hell though?" Ray tilted his head, his confused eyes looking at Mallory, "Do you think my summons came out of nowhere? I personally went to hell to summon them."
"Wh.. what." Mallory's voice croaked, her eyes becoming even more bloodshot.
"Then that Level Three Undead Bee made an appearance, everyone in the purging team was wiped out except for my Alf… his left hand was served but in his right hand there was the served head of the undead bee…"
"So you're going to ignore me, huh?" Ray thought in his heart while curiously listening.
"I was scared and happy at the same time… Alf was recognized as a hero and his fame rose through the entire world…"
"Everything seemed to go swimmingly again… five years passed in the apocalypse…. Then the second tide took over…"
"Countless Level Three Undead appeared in sight and humanity was on the brink of collapse… Alf used his power with other people…"
"He was able to become unbeatable like you, flying in the air and even breaking his Gene Limit becoming a true celestial."
"Because Alf was so busy killing all the undead we still hadn't held hands, then there was an encounter with that betrayer King…"
"At first they were comrades in arms but when Alf and the other's encountered problems with killing the undead snake, King backstabbed him…"
"I don't know what happened after that but Alf came home fully injured and dying before leaving me with a single sentence…"
"I am leaving my powers to you, you can take the ring in my finger to gain power beyond your imagination."
"After saying this, he closed his eyes and went to sleep forever."
"Then I gained all skills but failed to break through my gene limit causing me to reach half-celestial only." Mallory closed her eyes, her body trembling.
"You cannot break through your Gene limit with a borrowed power, you have truly experienced the brutal life and death scenario, the will of steel and the body reaching the peak of what you are truly capable of, only then can you truly reach the Celestial level." Ray spoke lightly, what he has experienced when training and also simultaneously the reason he was able to break through the Gene limit so quickly.
But this Alf was able to reach the Celestial level in just five years, it showed his years of dedication and effort he has put into it as well as the talent level.
Although the skill might seem to have transferred over to Mallory, the full potential of the skill might have been lost with it.
Otherwise with her puny skill, it was very hard for her to even have the chance of reaching her gene limits.
"Can you let me finish?" Mallory glared at Ray to which he responded casually while taking a popcorn or two: "Sure."
"I also started to hunt undead, but I made other companions and fought them, gradually becoming stronger."
"Since my power was half-celestial except for that Immortal King Snake there was no trouble at all and I seem to have become humanity's strongest and for a time the entire world seemed to have finally been able to get a grasp."
"After another five years, humanity finally gained a foothold and they were able to gain enough ground, I will be filled with hope. But then that woman in green descendant looking at us with a cold, chilling gaze."
"You vermins are a mistake of evolution." Mallory spoke word by word with hatred reflecting in her eyes. "That was said by Mother Earth herself as the plants spread all over the world and destroyed us all."
"I was helpless to stop it even when I reached half-celestial in front of that being i was wiped with a single finger."
"I only had one question in my mind "Why?" "Why?" Then the Planetary being of Mars came like a saviour and showed me the path. He turned back time itself and brought me here…" Mallory paused, her eyes closed.
"What happened then?" Ray looked at her with curious eyes.
"I… I tricked him into transferring the skill and killed Alf." Mallory spoke in an extremely hoarse tone, then she broke down sobbing intermittently.
"I need to do it as part of the contract… and Alf believed it…"
Mallory cried a river until the dark floors were wet and every single ounce of water drained from her eyes.
Even Ray couldn't help but change his expression slightly:
"This woman is vicious and…" he looked at her intently, "Stupid."
"If that being could turn back time itself i would be dead already, that means that Planetary being used his tricks to manipulate her and like any soul she fell for it…"
Ray thought in his heart, then he stood up without a hint of pity, he walked up to her. His pants falling to the ground.
"Suck it!"
Mallory's eyes flashed as she slowly opened her mouth and in one snap, bite it…
Crack!
It was the sound of teeths cracking as it fell to the ground.
"It's useless to bite it, you are too weak." Ray chuckled "the greatest limitation of any male has been simply removed by just breaking through my limits."
"And…"
He casually whipped, causing Mallory to cry out in pain.
"What did I say I would do?"
Mallory trembled as she closed her eyes before slowly taking in his giant little brother in her small mouth.
"It's too hot." it felt like her mouth was burning from just taking in her mouth.
