I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

Chapter 175: Pupil Power, Illusion

—--

[Name: Ray Crownwell]

[Status: Divine Awakener]

[Unadvanced Skills: True Eyes(Awakening I), Supreme Mechanic(Awakening I)]

—--

These were the only unadvanced skills left, and then Ray would finally have all the power. As for his Mutation Energy, it was also down by a lot, a lot less to be honest.

Mutation Energy: 47,034,345

"Hmm, should I upgrade the Supreme Mechanic first?" Ray frowned. The Supreme Mechanic skill was an S-class skill, while the other was a Divine-class skill.

After thinking for a bit, Ray decided to spend it on the Divine-class skill first, then go for the Supreme Mechanic. The Supreme Mechanic skill would only improve him externally, which was not really beneficial for him.

External strength can only be relied on for so long. True strength, which stays with you forever and ever, is the way to go, and no external weapon can be compared to it.

For example, if you give a gun to a normal person, they will inevitably make mistakes and even die before they could do anything. If you give it to John Wick, then he could absolutely slaughter everyone with ease, even with a pencil...

This is an internal power that does not rely heavily on external things.

So Ray decisively advanced his True Eyes skill first.

[Ding, it is detected that the host has Ten Thousand Mutation Energy, would like to advance skill: True Eyes (Divine-class) from Awakening I to II?]

"Yes," Ray immediately agreed with a smile on his face. He was a little shocked by the cost of the advancement. Even the first advancement for an S-class skill was only a thousand, but this was almost ten times the price.

Immediately, his pupils started to change, circles appearing in his retina and slowly flowing outward in symmetry.

It felt like someone was hypnotising people, and this lasted for a long, long time.

Ray felt a sharp pain shoot through his brain, but nothing else; everything was perfectly calm and perfect.

For a long time, Ray just stood tall and proud, letting his eyes adjust to the new changes while he could distinctly feel the changes happening in him.

Some portion of his mutation energy from his vast reserve was all gathered in his eyes, swirling in a circle around it, making a concentric circle.

What was special was that he was getting information directly in his brain about…

"Illusion technique?"

Ray was immediately fascinated and digested all the information in just a few moments.

While the transformation of his pupils was still going on, Ray extended his hand with a smile on his face.

The mutation energy in his body slowly started to move before flowing into his hand and into the tip of his finger.

"Who should I test it out with?"

Thinking of this, Ray slowly swirled his finger in a circle. An eerie darkness slowly circled him, and from it emerged a cat covered in darkness.

"Why did you call me, Ray, nya?" Kikyo immediately made her cheeks puffy.

"I want to make you my guinea pig," Ray said with the most innocent smile on his face.

"No, no, I don't want to be a guinea pig, nya!"

"The internet is a little slow here, you said 'yes,' right?"

Kikyo tilted her head slightly, its soft fur catching the light as it blinked its wide, innocent eyes. Then, with the gentlest of motions, it shook its head.

The corner of Ray's lips twitched while looking at Kikyo: "All I heard was yes, so yes it is."

"Nya!"

With the overreaction of Kikyo, Ray directly swirled his finger in a circle, and a black line formed in the sky.

Kikyo's eyes instinctively darted over the black circle, and she immediately froze on the spot. Her whiskers stood up with a look of horror.

"Hmm, let's change the illusion," Ray thought in his heart and quickly circulated his Mutation Energy in different patterns before making a circle in the air again.

Kikyo's whiskers fell down, and her mouth gradually enlarged into a silly, sweet smile.

"There are so many nya!"

"Hooman, Ray, clean my feet, nya… hehe…"

Ray looked at this Kikyo with a little speechless expression, "Remember, the cat owns you, you don't own the cat."

This sentence seemed to resonate through his head. After Ray cancelled the illusion, Kikyo returned back to reality again.

"Eh, nya! What happened to me?"

"Nothing." Ray directly cancelled her and sent her to the shadow realm again, "I guess the benefit of being stronger is that I don't have to utter such embarrassing words anymore."

Thinking of this, Ray rubbed the back of his head with an embarrassed smile.

At this time, his eyes' advancement seemed to have finally stopped, and Ray looked at his own eyes in the mirror.

Before he could even look, a crack appeared in the mirror, and then cracks started to spread from the damage like webs, instantly destroying the mirror in place.

"Eh." Ray was left dumbfounded and in utter disbelief.

He looked up, only for cracks to appear in the wall, so Ray hurriedly closed his eyes. He could faintly sense a force that was emitting from his eyes that destroyed everything he saw, even subconsciously.

If he truly wanted to, then Ray felt like he could destroy this entire luxurious skyscraper with just a glance. This was how powerful his pupil's force had become (Ray decided to name it as such).

After a moment of adjusting, Ray finally opened his eyes.

His pupils were still the same as ever, but there was a hidden power behind them ready to be unleashed.

It was said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and the illusion technique he had acquired was rapidly enhanced when he used it with his True Eyes.

"If previously I might only be able to do it to a half-celestial, but now I can even use illusions on a Celestial being," Ray could feel it; his illusion could directly affect the soul of the being.

Being a Celestial, there were not many physical constraints that one faced, but the same couldn't be said about the soul.
