I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

Chapter 193: Kikyo Vs Saturn

"Weakling, Nya!" Kikyo uttered lightly, her tone mocking as she pointed at the remaining two planetary beings. "Attack them."

In an instant, the undead army surged forward, some wielding swords, others raining down fireballs, ice, and other elemental forces. Even the void itself began to tear under the onslaught, releasing an eerie chill from the ruptured space.

Each undead creature mirrored Ray's abilities, a terrifying outcome of Gene Synchronisation that granted them a portion of his powers. This was the overwhelming might of Gene Synchronisation.

As the undead attacked with full force, the two Planetary beings—despite their defences—were gradually worn down, their forms breaking apart bit by bit.

Ray observed the spectacle silently from his warship.

"Are your undead truly this strong?" Mother Earth asked, wide-eyed, before quickly shaking her head. "No, it can't be... those three were only clones."

"Clones?" Elaria asked, tilting her head in confusion as she settled comfortably on Ray's lap.

"Yes, clones," Ray replied, smirking slightly. "Think of that chubby squirrel you love—it's like that, only unlike our little fluff ball, these clones actually contain some of the Planetary being's power."

"I see..." Elaria nodded thoughtfully, then slipped off his lap. Before Ray could question her, she reappeared, holding the chubby squirrel in her arms.

"Why did you bring her here?" Ray asked, curiosity flickering in his eyes.

"Because, Ray, she's actually quite fascinating."

"Fascinating?" Ray's gaze shifted to the squirrel, his intrigue deepening. Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow. "Alright then... Transform, chubby squirrel!"

A cloud of dust swirled around them, and when it settled, a petite yet graceful girl stood before them. She had long, flowing brown hair and a fluffy squirrel tail swaying behind her. Other than that, she appeared perfectly human, her innocent eyes looking up at Ray.

"Interesting," Ray remarked casually, snapping his fingers. A piece of cloth flew through the air, wrapping itself around the girl who had been the chubby squirrel moments ago.

"Wear some clothes, woman."

"Yeah..." The girl, now fully clothed, nodded, her cheeks puffing out slightly in a pout.

Ray chuckled, turning to Elaria. "Is this your surprise?"

Elaria grinned. "I thought my husband might enjoy a different taste."

Ray shook his head, speechlessly. "What do you think of me?"

"Horn dog." Vanessa commented in a whisper at the side which Ray completely ignored.

Mother Earth scowled. "That's one of my avatars."

Ray raised an eyebrow. "You have other avatars too?"

"I—" Mother Earth began, but before she could finish, Ray's eyes gleamed, glowing with a bright crimson and golden light.

"Woah, you really have 360 avatars, huh?" Ray muttered in awe.

Mother Earth stared at him, disbelief written all over her face. "What kind of eyes do you have?"

At that moment, a loud rumbling sound echoed through the surroundings, mixed with wails and screams of pain.

"Is he finally taking action himself?" Ray gazed forward, his eyes deep and focused.

Outside his massive warship, Jupiter was rapidly deteriorating, the planet edging closer to total destruction. Massive holes started to appear across its surface as far as the eye could see, and furious voices filled the air.

Casually retracting his fist, Ray glanced down at Kikyo, his brows twitching.

"Kikyo, why were you overreacting?"

"Nya! When did I ever overreact?" Kikyo exclaimed, flying into the air with a shocked expression, as if she had been wronged.

"Don't think I don't know you," Ray said, playfully pulling her cheeks to form a shape reminiscent of a rice ball. "You're an undead; how could you faint from mere gas?"

"Hooman, it's your job to protect me. I've already done my part," Kikyo insisted, shaking her head as she tried to return to the void.

"You little rice ball, why do you suddenly seem so much chubbier?" Ray teased, moulding her cheeks in a playful manner.

Though enveloped in darkness, her skin felt incredibly soft and cold to him.

"Maybe I should stop the tuna you've been eating every day," Ray muttered.

"I am not chubby, Nya! I'm already dead! How could I possibly gain weight?" Kikyo retorted defensively.

"Alright, alright."

Kikyo returned to his summon, and Ray narrowed his eyes, contemplating the situation.

"I still cannot see through the darkness with my true eyes," he mumbled to himself.

"I guess it isn't much of a True Eyes after all."

With a sneer on his face, he looked up at the vast expanse of outer space.

"Are they already growing restless? It's finally time to end it all." Ray spoke in a condescending tone as he flew upward into the sky.

He had already tested his army and knew that while they might pose a threat to a Planetary being, they couldn't effectively defend themselves in such a situation once the Planetary being decided to retaliate.

Although Jupiter was the strongest of the eight Planetary beings, the actual strength of the others didn't have a brutal gap. Even when he fought against the Planetary beings of Saturn and Neptune, the Planetary being of Jupiter found himself neither losing nor winning, slowly being worn down in the process.

Ray vanished from his previous location after ascending into the sky, completely disappearing from sight.

The next moment, he reappeared in outer space, where his fleet and army had already faded from existence.

Rumble!

A loud rumbling echoed as Jupiter disappeared, taking with it the entire asteroid belt and its moons. Everything affected by Jupiter's gravity was drawn into his dimension, where it would become nourishment for Ray's own planets.

Back on Earth, significant changes were occurring among humans. While the planet's gravity and orbit remained unchanged, even the slightest alteration could have catastrophic consequences for humanity.

Yet, they stood protected by the machines, completely unaffected.

Ray directed his attention toward Saturn. The Planetary being of Saturn appeared as a tall man adorned with a ring encircling his head and rocky skin.

"Can we talk—?" Saturn gulped nervously.

"Yeah, good luck," Ray chuckled, as he tore through the void, erasing him from existence.

"Noo, Father won't let this pass." The last words of Saturn resounded.

Ray shook his head casually, glancing at the planet before it vanished from existence.
