Chapter 118: Dead

"What do you want, King?" the blindfolded blond woman asked calmly.

"Haha, I wanted to talk with you alone, but you have so many guards. Aren't you being a bit petty?" King chuckled, glancing around the room.

It might look like they were empty at first glance but that overwhelming killing intent that was being drawn towards him was definitely true.

"Well, for a beggar and a beaver dog, what if it bites and spreads its rabies to other people? That wouldn't be too good, would it?" she replied, her tone still calm, though laced with venom.

King's brow twitched. Her words struck right at his pride, cutting deep because she was speaking facts. His condition was extremely miserable: his clothes were baggy and torn, a pungent smell emanated from him, and he was entirely covered in dirt.

"Are you going to mock me the entire time?" King asked, veins popping on his forehead as his hidden hand clenched into a fist so tightly that it bled.

"I am just telling the truth. What makes you believe that I will cooperate with you to kill Ray?" she said with a sneer on her face.

"How do you know?" King narrowed his eyes. "Ray has an incorrigible hatred for you guys. It is absolutely impossible for you and him to exist-"

"The enemy of the enemy is a friend, right?" the golden-haired woman chuckled with a smile blooming on her face, making her particularly beautiful.

But seeing this smile, King felt an ominous premonition that made him shudder as if on instinct.

"No..." King roared, veins popping in his eyes, the mutation energy in his body being rapidly used in succession as he went into full sage mode.

His eyes started to shine with a blue light, and all his defence, speed, and perception of the surroundings instantly increased by thousands of times.

But still, that undeniable sense of horror for King never went away. Instead, with his perception enhanced, he could clearly feel it. The blindfolded golden-haired woman only smiled at him, and then a golden light instantly shone from her body.

King wanted to leave immediately, but to his horror, he found that his strength was rapidly decreasing. A feeling of lethargy filled his entire body.

Even his cells seemed to have regressed rapidly in succession, and his skin withered.

In an instant, there were five S-class Awakeners who appeared, surrounding King tightly. Even Sibley, the invincible girl, was there, looking at King with an amused smile.

"Is he the cause of the disaster in the future? But he doesn't look like anything special." As she said these words, her entire presence vanished. With a claw tied to her arm, she moved masterfully to attack him from behind.

"Don't underestimate me."

King roared in fury. He was terrified of Ray, but that didn't mean he would fear this bunch of weaklings.

His roar produced a shockwave, causing the walls to collapse and sending Sibley back several steps.

King immediately made a clawing motion, and a huge rock from outside the building rapidly travelled into the room, landing with a crash.

Creating smoke and splattering crimson blood, the smoke lifted to reveal a man on the ground, violently coughing blood. A man in a cowboy hat stood nearby with a revolver in hand.

"You..." King's eyes widened with disbelief as he looked at the cowboy-hatted person.

"How... is that possible..."

She was from the future, and this individual was the cause of every misery in her past timelines. It all started because of him, and his dying a miserable death was her goal, which she achieved.

"But I am not satisfied. I want to rule the world, and for that Ray, you have become a hindrance to me."

She looked up as if she could see through her blindfold and walked away again.

...

The blinding green light continuously flashes in the room as Ray is cuddling with Elsha, their bodies still mingling with each other.

"Did you Gene Synchronise with me?" Elsha asked with a strange expression on her face.

"Yeah, why?" Ray asked with a curious expression.

"I just felt a little tingle, as if we are connected to each other. My body feels lighter and stronger, as if I am a superhuman, and I can control elements that I previously couldn't."

"This is a portion of my power. Don't worry, you will get used to it in no time." Ray rubbed his head against her bust, feeling that soft marshmallow, which made him smile as he looked at his system.

"I have horrible luck."

He immediately cursed himself in his heart. Even with more than a fifty percent chance to gain the permanent skill, he didn't get it.

"I guess I need to work harder."

Ray said and immediately went to work.

"Are we going at it again?" Elsha said in a small voice.

"You don't want it?" Ray looked at her with a questioning expression.

"I want it." Elsha gulped and closed her eyes.

Just like that, an hour went by before Ray got out of the room, with Elsha lying weakly in bed.

"I will come back after freshening up a bit," Ray said lightly and enjoyed his morning coffee.

While slowly swirling his coffee, Ray's mind drifted to other places.

"After I get the permanent skill from Elsha, I will train my body to its limits. If that doesn't work, I'll try other methods, but I definitely won't give up."

Ray tightened his fist, his eyes burning with rage and bloodlust.

After that, he spent most of his time with some of his women to calm his mind, while lightly punishing Vanessa.

Just like that, a day passed, and a green light flashed.

"Finally," Ray's eyes lit up with excitement as he looked at his red panel in front of him.
