I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

Chapter 177: Glimpsing at the Earth's Core

"Hmm?" Ray looked around. He could see through objects as much as he wanted, granting him an X-ray vision, a controlled X-ray that could see the entire continent at a glance. His vision had reached a level where he didn't even need light; he had the perfect capability to see even in the absence of light. This was truly magic, something that defied all the common sense of science.

With curious eyes, Ray looked down at the floor. As his vision passed through all the women who were on the floor—some bathing, some doing their makeup, and some just going around doing work—it felt a little weird peeking at them, so Ray quickly skimmed them and reached the ground floor.

His pupils seemed to focus, as even the ground couldn't stop his vision as it slowly zoomed in.

First, it reached the crust of the continent, his vision filled with a little cluster of rocks, some with a unique texture of white, black, and pink. He also found some light elements such as silicon, oxygen, aluminium, potassium, and sodium.

Then, as he went further down, he reached the mantle, where it consisted of solid rock that filled his vision, rich in iron and magnesium.

"Not bad, not bad. Once I mine all this, I would have enough to make much more technical advancements, which will be helpful for my research."

Ray had already considered these resources as his own, even if he didn't want them for the technology. He could casually throw them into his world, and his world in that dimension might expand and become a complete world.

Thinking of this, he was filled with satisfaction. If Mother Earth were to know about this, she would vomit a mouthful of blood.

She had created this entire apocalypse to destroy the parasite called humans, who have destroyed the balance of her nature. But now she had even created a bigger monster that might directly lead to the destruction of her planet, not to mention the planet he might get his hands on as well.

As Ray looked down, he went layer upon layer down, reaching the outer core, which was entirely composed of liquid iron and nickel.

Then at last, his eyes laid upon a ball made of iron and nickel with an extremely hot temperature.

"Hmm?"

Ray felt his eyes slightly pained, and blood slowly dripped out of them.

"Is this my limit?"

He gritted his teeth and withstood the pain, his pupils narrowing to a thin margin. The pupil power of his moved from his eyes and travelled invisibly.

Bang!

Something seemed to be broken. It was like the chains, an invisible chain that had bound the entire core, had been broken. Externally, there was not much of a difference at all. It appeared completely normal and fine.

Then Ray peeked inside. He was immediately greeted with a vast hollow room, and in the centre of this room was a sceptre shining a green glow that covered the entire room.

Ray squinted his eyes. He could feel a strange power emitting from this thing.

"This is…"

It felt familiar. This was the same power he felt with that squirrel and Elaria, but this was even more so.

"Is this the power of Mother Earth?"

Ray's eyes flashed with interest. He didn't immediately destroy the underground to go there, as it would be troublesome if Earth was destroyed here.

For now, he didn't have any infrastructure for him to transport all his women. The world was slowly building itself in his dimension, but it would still take a long time. Not to mention, to make it suitable, he needed to produce oxygen and restore a balance in nature. Nothing can exist without balance; once the balance is disrupted, eventually things would crumble down.

Then he closed his eyes.

Mutation Energy: 37,024,345

"I can still raise my Supreme Mechanic skill even more." Ray thought in his heart and immediately went to work, directly advancing the skill to the maximum.

There were not many changes in his body, but a vast amount of information appeared in his brain, while more than five million mutation energy was drained from his body.

"It was worth it." Ray sighed at the end with a satisfied smile on his face.

It was really worth it because the skill improved his technical skill by a lot. Initially, he might have only gained the knowledge of all the technology, but now he has the wisdom of it by heart. Even if there was a piece of wood in front of him, he could convert it into one of the destructive weapons easily.

It might not be helpful for his individual situation, but what Ray wanted to create was an Empire, an Empire that will cross the galaxy and have a harem of millions…

"Cough! Cough!"

The corner of Ray's lips turned upwards as he walked out of his room.

What he should do now is to spread his genes in the free time he has. As long as he has enough free time, then he could infinitely grow stronger.

Just like that, his leisurely days started.

First, he spent his days selecting his women and spreading his genes with them. His stamina reached an all-time high, and he was with ten women.

He had spread his genes with nine out of ten, with one remaining, although he didn't gain any new skills. The rest of the day was spent chatting with his women.

On the second day, he was with the last girl until she finally received his gene. That day, he was with twenty women, and sixteen of them were able to become pregnant.

The rest of his time was spent with Yuna and Yukia.

They were the cutest, yet opposite pair, and their purple hair made them almost identical.

Their personalities were opposite, though—one was sweet and innocent, Yuna, while the other was energetic, like a cheerful dog wagging its tail, Yukia. Yukia was a princess in a way but she still had that exciting personality, not like Ray didn't prefer it.

Ray felt like he was looking at a puppy whenever he saw Yukia. She was slightly tsundere, but it was clear she also had feelings for him.

That night, he was with both women and managed to spread his genes to seventeen in total, though still without gaining any new skills.

On the third day, he was with thirty women, like an absolute monster.

Of them, twenty-two were able to become pregnant, while unfortunately, the others were not. After that, Ray spent what little time he had with all his women.

The fourth day was the one Ray was most excited about—not because he spread more genes, but because it was the delivery date of his second child.

With his heart pounding with excitement, Ray watched as his second baby was born into the world with a cry.

He had a chubby, bulky body, and for some reason, there were black circles in his eyes along with a faint aura of the dead.

"Maybe he inherited some genes from me?" Ray thought, smiling. In human terms, if his height and bulky body were measured, he would be considered a giant.

As soon as the baby was born, a new system prompt appeared in front of him.

[Ding! Congratulations! Your Gene has been born into the world.]

[It has been detected that the child is an Awakened individual and has the B-class Awakened skill: Necromancer.]

[Rewards are multiplied by 10 times.]

….

Numerous attributes increased simultaneously, and they weren't weak gains either. All his attributes rose by double digits, even his Physique and Vitality increased by ten.

Ray was shocked in his heart to see that his child also had the Necromancer skill. He remembered that when he spread his gene with Grace, that's when he gained the Necromancer skill, and now his children had it too.

"This is..." He was left a little speechless, but after some time, he casually shrugged it off.

Even if they didn't have any Awakening skill, he could grant his children his own power through Gene Synchronisation.

Ray also discovered that he could immediately Gene Synchronise with his children the moment they were born. Although the power they would gain from Ray would only be a fraction, even a fraction of his strength could annihilate an S-class Awakener.

That meant these babies were theoretically stronger than most beings on Earth, with the exception of him, all his women, and the undead of course.

[Ding! You have gained: 10 Shop points.]

"Only ten?" Ray immediately frowned. If an Awakened only gave him ten, then...

"Sigh. I must resume my duties again."

Ray went back to his duty. He had already experienced the feeling of being a father, and this time, strangely, he didn't feel that much excitement, although he was definitely happy.

On the fourth day, he spread his genes with fifty women, and thirty-five of them were successful.

At this point his Attributes have already skyrocketed.
