MasukWhen they reached the river, Ray acted with a thought.Boom!The nearby snowpack and thick ice instantly shattered apart. He lowered the cruise ship into the massive opening, then filled the surrounding gaps with broken ice. Before long, the ship sat securely in the middle of the river.Not bad.It looked exactly like a vessel that had become trapped in the frozen river.Ray nodded in satisfaction.The only drawback was that someone might eventually discover it.The odds were slim. After so many days of the apocalypse, survivors had already searched most places worth searching. Who would think to comb through the frozen river looking for a cruise ship?Still, even a small risk was worth guarding against.Ray decided to focus on cultivating Molly's strength as much as possible. That way, after he left, she would be capable of holding her own. With the support of the other women, they would form a force that was far from weak.Just to be safe, Ray took a tour around Ida City.
After resting for a while and allowing his body temperature to return to normal, Ray resumed his journey.He only needed to stop once.By the time he was close to overheating for a second time, the cruise ship had already appeared within the range of his spatial perception.Everyone was safe.Ray let out a sigh of relief. His figure flashed, and the next moment, he was already aboard the ship."Ray!"Jess was the first to rush over. She wrapped her arms around his waist and began acting spoiled.Lucy and the others were all smiling as well, unable to hide their joy."Where did you go?" they all asked.Ray briefly explained what had happened, leaving everyone dumbfounded.In just a few short days, he had not only traveled north and wiped out the invading Jayzepanese forces, but had also crossed the sea to Jayzepan itself and destroyed a large number of ability-user factions.Katla City was the most populous city in the entire Jayzepan. By nearly uprooting all of its ability-u
However, they still decided to give it a try.Now that killing ability users no longer brought any benefits, returning home would only mean fighting over food supplies. No—since global evolution had begun, every country would likely reunite under the leadership of powerful ability users. When that happened, rebuilding civilization would become the new priority.But... what kind of structure would the world take by then?Most likely, it would become a society ruled by one or several powerful individuals, where a handful of people held absolute authority."Gray, we've decided to head back to Gohaven as soon as possible," Tristan said to Ray. "Are you coming back with us?"Ray couldn't possibly agree. He had come here for one reason—to kill the Jayzepanese. Even if killing people no longer granted abilities, trampling Katla City beneath his feet had been a dream of his for a long time. There was no way he would quit halfway through.At the very least, he intended to wipe out every a
Ray felt a flicker of disappointment. He had originally intended to let these Jayzepanese die by suffocation, forcing them to experience unbearable agony before death.A pity.Forget it—just die.With a single thought from Ray, all the "elementalized" Jayzepanese ability users were instantly annihilated.The ice users and fire users were forcibly compressed together—ice and fire annihilated each other on contact, vanishing entirely. The metal users were broken down to the nanoscale, stripped of all biological activity, reduced into nothing more than inert metal…Before someone at the 170,000-unit level like him, this was nothing more than one-sided slaughter.Every Jayzepanese ability user died on the spot. That faction was completely erased.Ray reached out and began absorbing their abilities.Victoria's legs went weak again. Her eyes turned misty and alluring.Ray frowned slightly in surprise.That Jayzepanese man clearly had around 120 units of ability, but he only absorbe
It was obvious that these Jayzepanese ability users had all benefited from last night's purple moonlight.There were eighty-six of them in total. From an energy standpoint, they could have provided an additional 8,600 units of ability compared to yesterday, ignoring the loss incurred during absorption.It was a very considerable harvest.Ray smiled and walked toward them."Who are you?"He immediately drew the attention of the group. All at once, the Jayzepanese ability users turned to look at him with unfriendly eyes. However, when Victoria followed closely behind with small, careful steps, their attention was instantly drawn to the former national goddess."It's… Victoria Meenos?""It really is her!""She's even more beautiful than in photos.""Haha, is this a celebration gift for us?""Then we won't hold back!"Their gazes locked onto Victoria without the slightest attempt to hide their desire.Victoria's expression turned cold as she snapped back, "How dare you covet my
Ray showed a hint of surprise.His cells were… evolving.Compared to directly absorbing energy, the effect wasn't as violent—but compared to normal training, it was terrifying.Was this the beginning of a global evolution?After a brief thought, he immediately said, "Everyone, get up. Put on your clothes and go outside."He transmitted the message through his spatial domain, as if speaking directly into everyone's ears.Instantly, whether they were asleep or awake, whether they were in the middle of something or not, everyone jolted awake, stopped what they were doing, and hurriedly got dressed and ran outside.What was going on?But the moment they stepped out, they immediately understood why.The moonlight… was actually accelerating their evolution.Everyone eagerly absorbed this unexpected benefit. For a moment, all of them were excited and thrilled—but not a single person spoke. They simply stood in silence, taking it in.The night passed.When sunlight returned, the pu
After passively absorbing the other abilities, Celine's power had leapt forward dramatically.Even going from one unit to two was a 100% increase—but the abilities Ray had dispersed earlier amounted to at least four units. With all of them absorbed, Celine had instantly reached a strength of five u
"Who… who told you?" Geronimo stammered, his voice tight with disbelief.Jack laughed, a cold, triumphant sound, his eyes locked on Geronimo like a predator sizing up its prey. Geronimo felt a shiver run down his spine. Then Jack said casually, "Your wife.""Bullshit!" Geronimo roared, rage burnin
Riding high on the fear he'd inspired by killing Jack—and convinced he now possessed "superpowers"—Geronimo felt invincible.Ray, however, simply smiled.After watching last night's spectacle unfold, he couldn't quite bring himself to kill all these people. It had been… entertaining.A slight fro
Ray almost gave Mary a thumbs-up. She was the first person ever to enter a spatial portal and survive. "Huff… huff…" Mary panted heavily, her face flushed with lingering fear.She had come so close to dying! And she wasn't the only one shaken—everyone else's scalp tingled in shock.A living hu
