Chapter 176: Mutation Energy Not Enough
Ray slightly calmed his breathing, and after recovering for a bit, he looked at the next advancement for his skill.
[Ding, it is detected that the host has Ten Million Mutation Energy, would you like to advance skill: True Eyes (Divine-class) from Awakening II to III?]
He almost flipped on the spot. From ten thousand to ten million, was the second advancement going to be a million?
Ray's eyes immediately became thoughtful. He had already wiped out all the undead from this continent.
There were seven continents in total, which means six were left, and some undead remained in the sky and the ocean.
Even with all of them combined, he might not even reach a billion mutation energy.
What if he could wipe out all the undead but could only upgrade this Divine-skill, which was obviously not as good as the other Divine-skill?
This was the conclusion he came to by comparing the prices of the other Divine, Primordial, Transcendent, and Cosmic class skills; among all of these, this was one of the cheapest Divine-class skills.
That doesn't mean that the skill was weak, but compared to other skills of its own class, then it might be one of the weakest skills.
While Ray himself was facing a Mutation Energy crisis once he defeated all these undead.
"Maybe I should raise a farm of undead or something?" Ray mused, but quickly shook his head. Only these undead could absorb the Mutation Energy in the air and gradually grow stronger. If they are in a constrained environment, for some reason they stop absorbing Mutation Energy entirely.
"I initially thought that I could infinitely accumulate skills and advance them to the point where I could even destroy the world with a simple fist, but now it seems impossible…"
He could only sigh in pity in response to all this. But there was still something, a cheat that can infinitely make him stronger, even if there is no mutation energy.
"Haha, even if I can't reach the Planetary level, I can destroy them if I spread enough of my Gene."
Thinking of this, Ray's eyes glinted. Until he reached the limits of his height and broke through the bottleneck, only then would he go looking for trouble for these planetary beings, whether it was Mother Earth or the Planetary being from Mars.
They would face his wrath, but it wasn't the time for it yet…
"Be patient, Ray."
Ray advanced his skill in one swift move. Ten million mutation energy vanished from his body, all flowing into his Gene, unlocking other chains in the process.
Thump!
His heart pounded with a loud rhythm.
Thump! Thump!
The building seemed to tremble. Veins bulge in his head, and his muscles expanded all at once.
His head swelled, and his eyes were completely destroyed once again.
"Sigh."
Ray stood tall and proud, his back straight, without even a flinch in his heart.
He had gradually grown resistant to the pain. Compared to the first time, when he was completely caught off guard, at least now he expected it.
Information flooded into his brain, and Ray processed it effortlessly.
From all the advancements in his skill, especially True Eyes...
—
- Mental strength: 789
—
His mental strength had increased by more than five hundred.
—
[Lifelevel- Celestial]
-Strength: 2.1 ton- Gene Limit broken
-Speed: 1.2k Km/h (600 original)
-Stamina: 678
—
His speed, strength, and stamina had also increased to a terrifying height. You have to know that this was his average, not the peak which he could reach. If he punched out, his strength had likely crossed two hundred tons, the same for speed as well.
Especially the stamina stat was the most important in Ray's eyes because this was vital for him to spread his Genes. Those women were also vixen who would drain him sometimes to the extreme.
If he didn't have an insane amount of stamina, then he could likely kiss his liver goodbye. Besides, he would need to shoot many shots to spread his Gene even if he could overwhelm them with his muscular body.
"Poor me," Ray prayed to himself, "I have to sacrifice so much for this…"
—--
-Physique and Vitality: 445
Mutation Energy: 37,024,345
—--
His Physique and Vitality had increased by a lot as well. It still didn't match up to his other stats, but what was different was that these stats were most important. It dictated how high his lifespan could be, as well as his overall body structure and defence.
This was pretty much granted from increasing the Holy body to the max. This skill was the true reason his Physique and Vitality had reached such insane heights.
While Ray was calmly looking at his stats, he ignored the terrifying condition of his body.
After an hour or so, his body finally stopped its transformation.
When Ray looked at himself again, his expression immediately turned weird.
The pupil force had increased by at least a hundred times the strength. Now he felt he could destroy half the continent solely relying on this.
And most especially, this power was very much contained and was in sync with his body, unlike the previous one.
Then the ability that appeared in his mind that he was excited about.
"Soul control," he muttered in his mind. This was already an ability he gained from Kikyo. The only problem was that it couldn't be advanced like the human Awakened skills. All the abilities gained from his undead, even with Gene Synchronisation, couldn't be advanced.
Still, he was already satisfied with all his abilities. Now that True Eyes also granted him the ability to manipulate the soul, the addition wasn't one plus one, but the ability was multiplied several times to the point where he felt it could even affect Celestial Beings.
Ray glanced at the next advancement and heaved a sigh of relief.
Luckily, the skill cost of the next advancement was fifty million, not a hundred million. Once he wipes out undead from another continent, it might be upgraded to the max.
Thinking of this, Ray also carefully sensed the ability he gained from the advancement.
