I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

"Hmm?" Ray looked up at the sky with his lips curled into sneer.

"So you are trying to defeat me now huh, planetary being of mars…"

He was completely calm and collected in his heart, after all if the planetary being really came after him that being would have already arrived and caused trouble for Ray but he hasn't.

"There is something, something that can even restrain this planetary being."

Ray guessed, otherwise the planetary being of Mars should have already come to this earth himself, why would he need to take so much trouble and plot?

As for Mother Earth protecting earth, Ray would only sneer in his heart, this mother earth might have been a planetary being previous however now she was of no threat or consequences at all.

From what he could infer from looking at the body of Elaria with his Analyser eyes, this Mother Earth was very very weak, something that Ray was confident that even he could solve her while the planetary being from Mars was definitely stronger.

Ray looked on as the poisonous fog as it grew thicker and thicker in the sky, however his gaze was deep as if he could see through all these poisonous thick fogs and see the being that was slowly under a strange transformation.

And you are absolutely right, nothing could hide from Ray's eyes; everything was as crystal clear within his gaze.

The snake opened its jaws wide as it hissed in pain, the unknown patterns around its body becoming more by the minute to the point where its entire black scales seemed to be entirely covered by an even darker paint.

The wings behind its back grew several in length and width.

"Let's analyse it."

The two pupils of his flickered at the same time.

Ray patiently waited, he didn't need to do any activity at all, these two eyes would automatically infer all the true information and deliver it to his brain where there was a filter system which could accurately give him information that he thought of.

This was like his brain had turned into a supercomputer.

It is said that: Eyes are the gateway to your soul.

Ray wasn't sure of this but he was damn sure that his eyes were also causing changes to his brain gradually making it unlock its full potential.

"I wonder how terrifying this skill would be if I was able to make it full." Ray muttered in his heart, the greed in his pupils became more and more as he looked upon the immortal snake.

This guy was going through the process of breaking his gene as an undead once it breakthroughs the limit then it would likely reach Level Five undead which is likely equivalent to the celestial level.

Ray was sure of it, especially seeing the "5" number slowly materialising in its forehead.

The process was extremely slow and nerve-endearing, Ray even had the urge to enter the fog and immediately end the life of this immortal snake but he wanted…

"It's worth it for the Mutation Energy." Ray's eyes seemed to be shining with a dollar sign.

At this time, his eyes finally seemed to process everything as a stream of extremely detailed information appeared in his brain. Ray's thought process was extreme, not even half the time had passed until now but he had already thought of all the possibilities already and this was the time it took for him to completely analyse the Immortal snake already.

Ray of course only wanted details about the Immortal Snake's ability and also the time it would take for it to complete its transformation:

[Species name: Undead Immortal Snake King]

[Level: 4] (Evolution process)

[State: unconscious]

[Skills: Scale Armour, Flying Wings, Poisonous fog(Advancing), summon a snake army, Swimming…]

"Hmm, its species name?" Ray raised his brows slightly, he has heard about those ancient times when snakes were called as immortals as they shed their skins and become reborn as a whole.

The way they shed the skin was literally the symbol of infinity after all and this species was completely different from the normal snakes found in modern times.

"I guess it evolved when the Apocalypse hit?"

A realisation dawned on Ray's eyes: "That means it has been living since ancient times."

Ray mumbled with inscribable eyes, he was sure of it.

Since ancient times, this single snake has survived countless eras and even was alive when humans were at the peak of development until it got cut off by this Apocalypse.

"Maybe that is also, there were reports of people seeing a giant snake in that continent."

He muttered in his heart, there was definitely some admiration in it's eyes for it to live so long.

But… that was all there is to it!

Ray curled his lips as he waited for a long hour before the fog slowly started to subside.

A new row of information appeared in his mind again.

[Species name: Undead Immortal Snake King]

[Level: 5] (Peak-Celestial Undead)

[State: groggy]

[Skills: True Scale Armour, Flying Wings, Poison Law, Summon an army of Immortal Snakes, The lord of Water, Time Control…]

Ray was immediately stunned.

"These creatures directly reached the peak of Celestial." There was a scowl in his brows as he accessed the undead snake again with a little disbelief, but his body movement didn't slow down at all.

This undead snake was in a groggy state, just the right time for him to take action; otherwise, when the real battle begins, then things would be completely different.

Countless swords rained down from the sky while Ray carried a long greatsword entirely made up of poisoned water as he slashed at the Undead Snake.

To his absolute astonishment and shock, at the last moment the undead snake opened its eyes as a shockwave spread outward from his body. This shockwave spread throughout the place, knocking everything away, even Ray himself.

Ray flung in the air and regained his balance, then he looked at the undead snake with a serious gaze.

"Even if my sword had landed, it wouldn't have even caused any serious injuries at all," he muttered, his hand holding the poisonous sword trembling.

…

In the grand, majestic room in another plant, there was a large throne, and a man in red skin sat down in the majestic throne holding a sceptre.

His expression was strange, with the corner of his lips curved upward with an amusement flashing in his eyes.

"Oh, foolish variant monkey, your greed will be behest of you and your entire race. The greatest sin of all is greed. Your ancestors were greedy, killing their own kind and leading to their own downfall. You are the same as well.

The planetary being of Mars felt so happy that he was about to dance, but seeing his two servants, he restrained himself; he still needed to maintain his image: "But I wonder how these variant monkeys were able to reach that state even with all this greed that was destroying them from both their own race and the other things."

"They were not only able to survive and thrive; they were reaching the cusp of an amazing breakthrough, even having the hope that they might be able to reach a mid-level civilisation."

A mid-level civilisation is made, requiring billions or even trillions of years, where the civilisation would be able to go around and conquer planets, having the capital to freely roam the space.

This humankind had this slightest possibility, which was simply terrifying in itself, while their first signs only showed up in four million years, but the growth right before the apocalypse had reached an all-time high to the point that in the next hundred years or less they had the possibility of making an entire planet hospitable to them and living in it.

"This, despite all the greed, the monkey's variants are fascinating, but their species would end here."

There was a cold and ruthless gaze in the planet's eyes. His eyes were looking at the scene, waiting for a great show to occur in front of him.

…

Ray stood tall in the air as he gazed upon the giant snake with wings.

Not a lot has changed except for it growing larger and larger, but that was all there seemed to be to it with nothing more.

"It has gone off my calculation," he mumbled with a little bitter smile. There was nothing more to it. This was completely out of his calculation for this little worm to become a big worm now even having the power to threaten him.

"Wakey."

An eerie darkness spread as a row of undead appeared; his army and Ray's undying army all appeared, emitting the terrifying presence of half-celestial beings.

But the immortal's snakes flickered with a competitive spirit filled with wisdom that could never be imagined upon an Undead.

Then, in front of Ray's eyes, the snake opens its jaws, throwing a mouthful of green poison out.

This green poison stopped midway, and countless snakes started to form in the sky—more than Ray's undying army as well as their individual presence were almost compared to his undead.

Ray's brows twitched.
