I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse-Chapter 265 : Devouring Laws? Ray Dead?

Ray contemplated briefly before finally sitting cross-legged.

As he remained still, the very fabric of reality around him began to distort. The laws of the two worlds twisted and intertwined, weaving together before surging into his body.

It was like countless invisible threads gradually encasing him, forming an intricate web that pulsed with an overwhelming force.

He was not just absorbing the laws—he was directly devouring them, binding them to his very being.

With each passing moment, more of the laws flowed into him. Tattoo-like markings surfaced across his skin, and cracks spread across his once-flawless face, marring his ethereal appearance.

"Let's use the principle of my Devour Skill at its highest level—capable of creating black holes—along with the essence of Chaos."

This was the solution he had devised.

However, even he could not foresee the consequences of devouring the laws of the world…

"I'm too far into it to stop now," Ray muttered through gritted teeth, his mind filled with determination as he endured the searing pain and continued to devour.

Veins bulge across his body, pulsing with an eerie rhythm, and behind him, a faint blue silhouette flickered into existence.

It was his own soul.

At that moment, his very essence was breaking down in a sequence. Cracks marred its ethereal form, spreading like fractured glass.

"I underestimated the laws."

The Ray in soul form gazed at his physical self with an expressionless face. His semi-transparent hand, tinged with a blue glow, caught his attention. He clenched and unclenched his fingers, mesmerized by the sensation.

"So this is my soul form, huh?"

He had always suspected that all humans possessed souls, but now, standing within his own, he realized—only those with enough strength could perceive it.

His mental power stats, which had always intrigued him, truly did strengthen his soul—so much so that it could now materialize outside his body. He had never realized it before, but now, forced into this state, the truth was undeniable.

However, after the laws shattered his body, he was forcibly ejected from it.

"If my soul wasn't strong enough, I might've died just like that."

A weary sigh escaped him as he attempted to re-enter his body, only to be repelled by the very laws now swirling around it like an impenetrable barrier.

"Hmph." He snorted in disdain.

Ray then waved his hand, infusing the motion with all the principles he had mastered. He sought to exert his will over the laws—bend them to his command.

The result was immediate. Some of the laws turned upon each other, clashing in a chaotic struggle, unraveling in a violent cascade of conflict.

The fire laws tangled with the water laws. Friction laws found themselves obstructed by gravity, and the light laws were engulfed, encased within the ever-consuming darkness…

Ray had only ignited a small spark, but the delicate balance unraveled instantly, descending into utter chaos.

The laws of the two worlds had already opposed each other, and now, like a chain domino reaction, the conflict spread uncontrollably.

In mere moments, the suffocating pressure surrounding his body loosened significantly.

"Now!"

Ray roared, seizing the opportunity as he forcefully reentered his body. But the moment he did, the chaotic laws triggered an unforeseen reaction.

A strange sensation overtook him—an inexplicable, primal instinct whispered that death was near.

Click-Clack!

A chilling sound echoed through the ruptured space.

Then, without warning, his body shattered.

Like fragile glass, it broke apart, crumbling into dust—swept away by the unseen currents of the void.

Just like that, Ray seemed to have completely perished—not even a corpse remained.

The world fell into an eerie silence. The chaotic clash of laws had finally settled, devoured in their entirety. The two opposing spaces, each governed by vastly different principles, began to merge as one.

The pocket dimension and the inner world fused seamlessly, no longer at odds.

***

In a quiet study room, a woman with long pink hair suddenly stood up.

"What happened?"

Tears welled in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. A strange connection—one that had always been there—was slipping away, growing weaker with every passing moment.

She reached out instinctively, as if trying to grasp onto something unseen. But no matter how much she willed it to stay, it continued to fade…

She rubbed her eyes, glancing down at the damp floor beneath her filled with her tears and mucus.

"Must have been the dust."

The door suddenly opened and Freya entered the room.

Her presence alone was enough to darken the atmosphere. Unlike her usual self, she exuded a deep, suffocating gloom, her expression twisted with grief.

"He… he…"

Her voice trembled, unable to complete the sentence.

"Let's look into it first, Freya."

In this grand place of Ray, countless wails and cries echoed throughout.

This was an instinctive reaction caused by the broken connection.

With the merging of the two worlds, a perfect world was created, where conflicting laws disappeared, leaving only stability.

This world was leaning more and more toward a single, unified universe. With the introduction of new laws, the entire universe underwent rapid change, shifting bit by bit.

Ray's divine tree stood at the center of this world, governing all laws.

Stars, planets, and other heavenly bodies began to form according to these laws.

At the same time, shadows appeared above Earth and other planets.

There were countless of them. Some might have been of different races, yet they all appeared gloomy.

Some wept, others stared blankly, while some simply smiled… a broken smile, as if they had lost their minds.

"Is Ray really dead?" Mother Earth spoke, a frown creasing her brows.

Many women echoed her sentiment as they gazed toward the divine tree. Having been so deeply gene-synchronized with Ray, even after losing their connection, they still retained at least the strength of celestial beings and could traverse outer space.

One of the women pointed with madness, her bloodshot eyes wide.

"Let's go there and see."

The hordes of women rushed forward, and upon seeing the empty space, they began to cry.

Vanessa walked forward expressionlessly.

"Sigh, the first time I saw you, you were the definition of a domineering man—a toxic person who knew nothing but how to toy with women. But as I got to know you, I saw your gentle and loving side."

"You armed us and took care of us in that perilous age when human flesh was commonly eaten, and not a shred of humanity remained in the world. The more you grew, the more you dazzled me... but for everything to end like this?"

"I... I am not convinced!"

She cried out with all her heart. No tears fell, but the silence made it even more depressing.

Her heart remained strong, and her gaze was unwavering—like that of a warrior woman.

At that moment, a faint shitolite appeared above the World Tree.
