Chapter 115: Gene Synchronisation (Awakening III)

"It's been a long day, huh..." Ray muttered as he swirled his warm tea, watching his reflection in the cup as hot steam rose, gently caressing his face. The warm, inviting fragrance from the tea made him take deep breaths, savouring its aroma.

He opened his mouth and lightly blew the steam away, cooling the tea slightly before taking a delicate sip.

Immediately, his taste buds were overwhelmed with pleasure as the rich flavours of the tea burst in his mouth.

Ray closed his eyes in pure bliss, savouring each small sip, a contented smile playing at the corners of his lips.

The gentle breeze brushed against his face, the warm rays of the sunrise bathed him in light as he sat atop the most luxurious skyscraper.

The distant sound of chickens cooing and the bustling streets below walking in the paved roads with safety.

The shops began to open, and people appeared on the streets, walking calmly. Children started to play with each other, their faces lit up with smiles—something that should have been impossible in the apocalypse.

Ray felt a warm sensation in his heart. After all, this was his city, a place where even amidst the apocalypse, life could be maintained.

There was likely no other place on earth right now where children could smile and people could live peacefully like this.

"This is a blessing in disguise," he muttered, calmly setting down his tea.

"What do you think, Yuna?"

"It's beautiful," Yuna replied, her voice filled with fascination as she gazed at the sunrise, completely absorbed in its beauty.

She stood up from her seat and walked over to Ray, embracing him and snuggling deeply into his chest.

Ray shook his head helplessly but didn't push her away. Yuna and Ray had cuddled so many times that she wouldn't feel at ease or sleep at night without being in his arms.

After an hour of enjoying the peaceful moment, Ray softly muttered to her, "Are you going to lay on me the entire day?"

Yuna strained to open her eyes, then reached up to Ray and gently pecked his cheek. "Yes," she replied with a smile.

"It's time to work," Ray said lightly as he stood up from his seat, Yuna still clinging tightly to him.

"I'll stay like this," Yuna said, burying her head in his chest.

"Alright," Ray chuckled. He wouldn't mind holding this beautiful lady all day.

"Let's start the day by synchronising our genes. What do you think?" he suggested, a playful glint in his eyes.

"Eh," Yuna immediately looked up at Ray, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Let's do it then!"

"Why are you so excited?" Ray raised his eyebrows.

"Let's just use it," Ray murmured as the mutation energy rapidly vanished from his body.

-Mutation energy: 2226

There was no change in his body, but some new information appeared in his mind. Ray then looked at the panel again.

[Gene Synchronisation (Awakening III)

- Bind up to one hundred people.

- Fifty percent chance to permanently gain the ability of the Gene Synchronized person.

- Can share a portion of your skill with the Synchronized person.

- Once Gene Synchronisation is used, it ensures loyalty to the host, making the person never betray you while still retaining their free will and thoughts.

- Can only be used once per day if you want to obtain the skill of the person.]

"This... this..." Ray was stunned. "As expected, a skill that can reach A-class is definitely not weak."

A smile tugged at his lips. If it were anyone else who had awakened this skill, they might not even be able to display a sliver of its power.

But Ray was different, very different. He had the ability to use this skill to its full potential.

While thinking of this, Ray looked at Yuna, who was still cuddling with him.

"Let's Gene Synchronise now, Yuna."

"Alright." She immediately closed her eyes in anticipation, and Ray closed his eyes, utilising his mutation energy once more.

A green light emanated from their bodies, mingling together. The entire area was bathed in a soft green glow with only the faint shadow of the two bodies mingling faintly being seen.

Yuna felt a tingling sensation down her spine, followed by a warm feeling rising from her heart. Her genes seemed to undergo an inexplicable, powerful change.

"It feels different from before, but it's nice," Yuna hummed with a pleased expression.

Soon, the light subsided, and Ray looked around. He could sense that the world appeared slightly different from his perspective.

"Did I really gain the S-class skill: Space Mastery, so easily?"
