I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

Chapter 189: Ray vs Planetary being of Mars

"Hmph." Vanessa rolled her eyes. Even if Ray was telling the truth, she wouldn't believe it.

"Haha, anyway, we should enjoy ourselves," Ray chuckled with a casual shrug.

He spent the entire trip indulging in the company of his woman, basking in the greatest luxury humankind could offer.

"Life is good," Ray muttered as he slumped into his comfortable throne, feeling as though he were sinking into it.

And just like that, time passed in the blink of an eye.

Sound couldn't travel in outer space; however, with the technology Ray developed, it was now possible for it to travel even great distances without a medium. This was achievable thanks to his understanding of space.

The fourth dimension—unseen by human senses—revealed the curvature of space and time.

This understanding was key to enabling sound transmission in space, as it utilised both Space and Time.

Extensive calculations and complex techniques were required to make this possible. Without his mastery of Space and his Super Mechanic skill, it would likely have been impossible.

Loud horns, like a war cry, echoed through space, causing the surroundings to tremble.

Ray appeared atop the warship, seated casually on his throne, his gaze fixed straight ahead.

"Finally, we have arrived, and this will be the end of you, Planetary Being of Mars," he muttered slowly in his heart, his arms resting on the armchair and shoulders slumped, lying lazily.

At that moment, a being slowly came into view. His skin was entirely red, with two horns protruding from his body, and he carried a sceptre in his hand that glowed red.

Beneath him were numerous of his people, already prepared for battle, though they had neither warships nor flying equipment. Some carried guns, while others held spears and shields.

"I didn't expect you to be so mediaeval," Ray spoke with a disappointed gaze, his voice travelling far and wide, reaching the ears of the Planetary Being of Mars.

Even though there was a language barrier, they could still understand each other. At the peak of Celestial or higher being, language could no longer be a barrier. But even if the Planetary Being of Mars couldn't understand Ray's words, the deep disdain in Ray's eyes made it clear he was mocking him.

"You... You..." The Planetary Being of Mars's eyes turned bloodshot as he flared with rage. "Attack!"

He pointed.

The beings beneath him instantly sprouted wings and flew into the sky, transforming into ferocious beasts.

"Is that all you can do?" Ray looked at the creatures with sarcasm as he raised his hand.

All the turrets, all the guns, pointed at the army of red, ferocious monsters, beams of light gathering at the tips of the guns as a strange sound signalled the power accumulating and gathering, ready to unleash hell.

Ray casually lowered his hand and spoke one simple word:

"Attack."

"Nooo!" The Planetary Being of Mars's eyes widened as he hurriedly positioned himself in front of his army and crossed his arms.

Boom!

The laser turrets, the blasters on the spaceships, and every weapon in the fleet instantly fired at the Planetary Being of Mars and everything behind him.

"Hello."

"Hello," the Planetary Being of Mars forced himself to smile and replied. "Is there... a chance for an alliance?"

"Alliance against whom, though?" Ray asked, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"This is my last straw!"

The Planetary Being thought, every fibre of his being screaming at him to run, to get as far away as possible from here!

But he continued, clinging to a sliver of hope, hope to see another day and live life to tell another day: "Join hands with me to fight my brothers and sisters. After we accumulate our power together, we can defeat our father and take over this entire solar system."

"What then?" Ray asked, putting on the most innocent face he could muster. His lips were threatening to curl up into a laugh but he held on with his dear heart.

"Then?" The Planetary Being of Mars was momentarily stunned but quickly began thinking; his life was at stake, after all. His gaze lingered on the missing sceptre with a hint of regret—Ray had already hidden it, and he couldn't locate it for now.

"We can crusade across the galaxy and take it over."

"Then?" Ray asked again.

"We can conquer the Universe!"

"And after that?"

"Umm... after that..." The Planetary Being of Mars hesitated, glancing up at Ray.

"That's the end of a beautiful story—and the end of you."

Ray smiled—a smile that sent a cold chill down the Planetary Being's spine.

"Ru—!"

Boom!

It happened in an instant, reaching nearly the speed of light itself—before anyone could even process the situation, the Planetary Being of Mars simply vanished, disappearing from existence in an eerie chillness.

Everything around remained completely untouched; there was no sign of damage, and nothing seemed affected. It was as if the Planetary Being of Mars had never been there at all.

This was a Planetary Being, a higher life form with the strength of an entire planet, and yet he had vanished as if he'd never existed.

From afar, Mother Earth, who had been watching, couldn't help but tremble.

"He's become too much of a monster. He could have been stopped before he fully grew, but now... this is simply monstrous." Her eyes were wide as she thought, fully aware of the strength of the Planetary Being of Mars.

He had been nearly her equal in her prime, yet he hadn't even been given a chance to fight. It was an absolutely massacre!

Mother Earth turned to the side where Ray's numerous women stood, each with a nonchalant expression.

"How can you girls be so calm!?" she shouted instinctively.

"We just trust him. Although he is a bit of a horn dog, he does have some redeeming qualities, and we've already accepted him," Vanessa replied with a chuckle, and the other woman nodded in agreement.

"These girls are just brainwashed," Mother Earth thought to herself.
