I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

Ray floated in his own dimension.

"Now, what can you do to me?" He snickered inwardly as his attributes went through another round of increases and were steadily growing at a rapid pace.

This was simply because of the two black holes that had formed in both the Fourth Dimension and the Third Dimension.

As they grew larger and larger, they would consume everything and turn it into nutrients for Ray.

Although there was a certain limit to their growth—meaning this growth would eventually stop them even if they could consume more—it was still a terrifying phenomenon that was enhancing and developing his attributes.

As for offending that Universal being, Ray didn't care. He could spend all his time here, using it to empower himself further, and then he could confront it if it was offended.

Ray would never back down!

Slowly, he returned to Earth to see its changes. Luckily, even though it had become the second orbiting planet after his main planet around the sun, a day was still about twenty-six hours, which wasn't too significant of a change.

The sun's rays, when too close, could cause disastrous outcomes, but all those effects could be mitigated with the help of the technology he had built.

He had already predicted that something like this would happen in the near future, so he prepared special defences specifically designed to counter it, and it seemed to work swimmingly.

All the sun's rays were filtered out in the Earth's atmosphere, allowing only a limited amount of heat and light to seep through—perfect conditions for the survival of living beings.

As he entered the most luxurious skyscraper, he took in his surroundings.

There were already many of his women waiting for him, smiles on their faces.

"How did you know I was coming?" Ray asked curiously.

"You think you're the only strong guy here?" a woman in a green robe said, pouting as her eyes trailed over Ray with concern.

"Oh, so that's no surprise," Ray nodded. He knew better than to underestimate the power of a Planetary being, especially since he hadn't made any effort to hide his presence; it would be easy for someone of her calibre to spot him.

"Ray, when did we gain such unique sisters?" Vanessa, who was standing to the side, said with a mischievous smile.

Naturally, all his women were looking at Mother Earth, the fox-tailed woman, and the Planetary being of Uranus, whose skin was entirely blue.

With their unique features, it was impossible not to stare at her.

"Haha, why do you care?" Ray chuckled, casually shrugging it off.

"Come on, let's go inside and enjoy ourselves."

"Now that you mention it, what happened outside?" Elsa asked, a look of confusion on her face.

"It's a long, long story, but to sum it up: I destroyed the sun by creating a black hole, which caused trouble with a Universal being because I couldn't contain it."

"A Universal being!?" Mother Earth and Uranus exclaimed in unison, their bodies trembling with wide eyes. Their expressions froze as if time itself had come to a standstill.

Seeing the overreaction from the two, the others immediately understood without needing any further explanation.

"Will we be fine, Ray?" Yukia tentatively tugged at his sleeve.

"Yeah, we will be fine. I've shifted our planet into my dimension now, so we can remain hidden as long as we need to, it shouldn't be able to reach us.

"Woah." Yukia opened her mouth, unable to close it. At that moment, she felt a gentle pat on her back.

"Yukia, you don't have to worry. As long as Ray is here, nothing will happen," Yuna said with a smile.

"Hehe, you're right." Yukia rubbed the back of her head, feeling reassured.

"When did you two get so close?" Ray asked curiously.

"Well—"

The two exchanged sheepish smiles while looking at Ray.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it…"

Ray shook his head, speechless, and then they all went inside, spending some quality time together.

The same couldn't be said for the countless Peak Planetary beings who were constantly searching for him, only to find nothing in the end.

Helpless, they could only wander through the void, desperately looking for him.

They could see the black void increasing by the second, consuming all things in its path and stopping at nothing.

Its mass was gradually reaching the size of the Sun.

"Should… we… return…?"

A giant squid spoke, causing billions of these Peak Planetary beings to fall silent as they started to shiver.

Their trembling didn't stop as they all looked at the centre of the galaxy at the same time.

Time paused; everyone froze in place as a shadowy figure appeared with long, glowing, thick purple hair and eyes shining a bright pink.

Everyone bowed in place, showing their respect without hesitation.

There were billions of Peak Planetary beings, all bowing in unison, which was quite a sight to see.

"Hmm," the dark figure nodded its head, and it's pink, pupil-less eyes looked over at the black hole.

Crick!

A strange sound resonated in the void as chains appeared, capturing the entire black hole within them.

This was done in the most silent way possible, and the next second, the entire black hole stopped expanding, completely trapped by the chains that bound it.

Then, it began to shrink smaller and smaller, reaching the size of a small ball before slowly floating toward the figure's hand.

A rift appeared in front of the being, and the strange sound resounded again.

Crick!

The chains engulfed the black hole that was in the Fourth Dimension, compressing it into a small black hole before allowing it to enter the being's hand once more.

"Leave."

As the being spoke, all the Peak Planetary beings immediately started to depart from the area, returning to their own stars to reside.

Billions of them moved at a quick and steady pace, like flowing light disturbing the peaceful space.

The being silently observed the two black holes the size of a ball, its pink glowing eyes fixed on a certain spot.

"The unique human species has evolved so much that such a person has been born? Could a failed experiment achieve this much?"

The being tilted its head, then sat cross-legged in meditation.

"I shall wait for you, human, and when you emerge…"

It didn't finish its thought, quietly resting in place.

Ray had no idea that someone was camping at his spawn point, nor did he care; that would be up to the future Ray to deal with. For now, all he had to do was enjoy himself and spend quality time with his woman.

He was a single man, after all, and the women were too many to count, so his attention was actually rare, and he was busy most of the time. However, seeing the smiles on their faces made Ray feel warm again.

After spending three days enjoying their company, Ray finally returned to the main office to handle business.

"Greg, how is it going?"

"Boss, we are encountering problems." Greg said, his brows knitted together.

"What's wrong?"

Ray paused and asked coldly.

"Even though we don't sell land, some people are claiming lands on their own and collecting rent for them."

"Just kill them." he stated.

"Eh, what?"

"I think we already made the laws for this, didn't we?" Ray asked.

"But some of these people are connected to those who work for us. If we proceed with this, then…" Greg hesitated, his voice trailing off.

Ray stepped forward and placed a reassuring hand on Greg's shoulder. "No one should be above the law—not even me. If someone has committed a crime, they must face the consequences. As for those connected to our people, they shall meet the same fate without exception."

"Remember the rule: there must be no politics involved. If I ever catch wind of any propaganda aimed at spreading hate toward a minority—or even the majority—the consequences will be the same, no matter who is responsible."

"Isn't this a little cruel?" Greg murmured, glancing at Ray uncertainty.

"Do you know why this will be more beneficial in the long run?" Ray didn't respond to Greg right away, taking a moment to choose his words.

"Why?" Greg asked, curiosity tinged with hesitation.

"There's a popular saying: 'Rules are meant to be broken.' You've heard it before, haven't you? That saying exists because of the mindset of people who believe they can exploit leniency. If we allow light punishments, countless others will follow in their footsteps, thinking they can get away with the same crimes."

Ray spoke deliberately, emphasising each word. "If we don't act decisively now, countless ordinary people will continue to suffer. Those who want to live honest lives deserve the right to a safe, healthy environment, free from fear and exploitation."

He paused before his voice turned cold, filled with resolve. "As for these despicable people, they seek shortcuts in life by tormenting others for their own gain. They are parasites who prey on the weak."

Ray's gaze hardened. "Execute them on the spot. That's an order!"

"Yes, big brother," Greg replied, nodding firmly. He knew Ray was right—hesitation would only prolong the suffering of innocent people.
