I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

Ray stood in the void, looking back at his fleet.

"Come here, Mother Earth," his voice echoed, and Mother Earth, who had been watching from a distance, immediately floated toward him, shattering the glass in front of her and stopping before him.

"What is it?" she asked tentatively.

"Want to absorb this planet?" Ray pointed at Mars, tilting his head.

"Yes!" Mother Earth replied excitedly. If she could absorb this planet, not only could she fully recover her strength, but she might even surpass it.

"Hmm, should I really give it to you?"

He thought for a moment, seriously considering it, but after a few breaths, he changed his mind.

"But I won't."

"Eh!?" Mother Earth looked at him, disappointed and speechless. She grumbled, "Why did you call me, then?"

"What did you say?" Ray asked her, amused.

"Nothing, nothing." She shook her head, pointing at Mars again. "But if you're not going to give it to me, what are you planning to do with it?"

"Actually, this could be quite beneficial for you." Ray spoke with a mysterious smile.

"Beneficial for me?" Mother Earth scowled. "It would only be beneficial if I could directly devour Mars. That would truly benefit me—nothing else would."

Ray raised his large hand, patting her head with a raise of his brows. "Mother Earth, you're quite innocent. Would you really be happy if you devoured Mars, and I then used all of Earth's resources to develop my own planet?"

He looked directly at her, his eyes showing a hint of indifference.

"Use the entire resource of my planet?" She looked at Ray with a gaze of bewilderment.

"Do you want it to?"

"... no." Mother Earth avoided eye contact with Ray and spoke lightly. There was so much that revealed itself with just this single statement from Ray that she felt genuinely confused for a moment.

First, Ray was somehow building a planet, and he needed resources for it, with his initial plan being to take them from Earth.

As Mother Earth thought more deeply, her white skin turned even paler, almost as if she had anemia.

"Haha."

Ray chuckled. "Then I will take Mars, okay?"

"Alright." Mother Earth nodded her head in agreement.

"Good."

He nodded his head and floated forward. Actually, the planetary being of Mars wasn't entirely dead yet; he would revive himself within the planet. But since Ray had obliterated him out of existence, it would take some time for him to return again.

Until that time, the entirety of Mars was completely vulnerable…

"Especially with this thing." Ray extended his hand, and a red scepter appeared in its place.

This was a sort of remote control for the entire planet. Perhaps the planetary being of Mars could have survived longer had he not lost the scepter and stayed within his planet. But the moment he stepped out into outer space, his end was already certain.

Thinking of this, Ray slowly extended his hand, and the planet began to tremble. The space around it started to distort.

"Should I kill the entire race living on Mars, or should I let them live?" Ray paused, halting mid-process.

"Let's let them live."

He casually swatted his hand, and some shadows flew out of Mars. They were in the millions, although not as populated as Earth, where humans had numbered in the billions before the Apocalypse—but still a large number nonetheless.

The creatures he had swatted out were all human-like figures. As for the beasts, he didn't care about them; they would merely serve as nutrition for his world.

Then, he extended his hand again. The space around them started to distort, and with a rumble, the entire planet disappeared from its place.

The asteroids immediately lost their center of gravity, and Mars's two moons broke free as well.

To this, Ray casually pointed, and everything surrounding Mars was pulled into his inner dimension to become nourishment for the formation of his world.

This was also one of the reasons he wanted to crusade against the entire solar system: to collect all the resources necessary to create the strongest planet.

After Ray casually stored the items in his dimension, every planet and heavenly body began to subtly change their positions.

Earth also started to shift. Luckily, Ray had already prepared and made the necessary plans for technology, ensuring that the entire human race was completely unaffected as protective domes began to appear, withstanding the changes.

There were some volcanic eruptions and landslides, but they merely became energy sources for them. This was the capability of a level one civilization!

The scepter in Ray's hand began to vibrate, trying to escape his grasp.

"Hmm?" As Ray entered his dimension, he immediately heard the loud roar of the planetary being of Mars.

"Nooo…"

"How loud are you?" Ray spoke, his voice firm as he casually tightened his hand and destroyed the scepter.

Rumble! Rumble!

Mars began to slowly break down; numerous ravines formed on its surface, and most importantly, the core of Mars was completely affected by being shattered.

"Noo!"

The roar of the planetary being of Mars grew louder, filled with a mixture of wails and anger.

"How annoying." Ray retracted his five fingers and punched Mars.

Boom!

A massive hole appeared right at the center of Mars, destroying almost three-fourths of the planet.

The voice of the planetary being of Mars finally quieted down, returning to a complete silence within his dimension.

The crumbled parts of all the asteroids, Mars, and the two moons gradually began to accumulate around the core created by Ray.

In just a span of a few minutes, it grew to the heights of the moon before finally stopping its expansion.

"It can't take it anymore?" Ray examined the core with his keen eyes and quickly concluded, "I guess this is the limit of what this core can handle."

Ray then looked a little farther into the darkness surrounding them.

There was actually a small black hole at the center of this place, affecting the core Ray was constructing.

This could be considered a miniature version of the Milky Way and the entire galaxy.

"If I get a chance, I must find the higher version of this S-class skill, if it exists," Ray thought to himself.

Since the core could no longer be constructed, all that remained was to create the crust—a defensive layer of sorts to protect the core. At the surface of this layer would be where water and other essentials could exist.

This was the planetary layer that Ray intended to create. Based on his understanding, this was the best way to ensure life could flourish on his planet, and it closely resembled the model of Earth.

Ray had to give credit where it was due; the resource management on Earth was extremely abundant compared to that of the other planets in the solar system, which demonstrated its effectiveness.

But whether this was a blessing or a curse was still a bit funny, considering she was ironically injured and surpassed by the creatures born on her very Earth. The dragons first injured her and now Ray has already surpassed her. She was quite miserable to be honest.

Ray returned to the void, his gaze lingering on the other planets of the solar system. The two planets in front of Earth—Mercury and Venus—would lead directly to the sun, which was not optimal for him at the moment.

So he focused on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

"Jupiter, huh…" Ray observed it with a peculiar gaze. This was the strongest planetary being he had seen in the solar system, yet it was strange at the same time because it was entirely composed of gas. The planetary being itself was also made of gas.

The larger the planet, the stronger its power, and Jupiter seemed to be locked in a fierce battle with Saturn and Uranus, while Neptune observed from the sidelines.

With Ray's keen eyes, it was clear as day for him to see; he could even look directly at the center of the galaxy.

"Let's go."

Ray returned to his warship, and the entire fleet slowly began their journey.

It would take considerably more time to reach Jupiter. If not for his efforts in preparing his army, he could have easily reached Jupiter in just a span of 36 to 37 minutes.

"Sigh, I will soon be reaching the speed of light. Can I truly upgrade my strength boundlessly?" Ray sat upon the throne and contemplated his thoughts.

While his average speed in the stats remained lower, his actual peak speed was already reaching very, very close to the speed of light.

"Only time will tell. I wonder if I can break reality and even defeat that being at the center of the galaxy with this power?"

He pondered in his heart, filled with curiosity. Ray's ultimate goal was to create an empire that expanded beyond the limits of the universe and into the multiverse and beyond, where he, his wives, and his children could happily live together.

To push his limits beyond all boundaries!
