Chapter 123: Celestial

In the broad daylight, the serene environment persisted in the city, with the tall skyscrapers blocking the sunlight almost entirely.

However, in the sky, a faint shadow rapidly whizzed through the air, flying at a rapid pace across the sky.

"Mom, look up, it's a bird," a child who was on the ground licking his lollipop looked at the sky with eyes full of curiosity and excitement while tugging his mother's sleeve.

"A very big, big bird."

"How big can a bird be, son?" the mother chuckled with an amused smile on her face as she looked up in the sky. Then her body froze in place.

"It's not a bird, that's a human..."

Many people also noticed this scene and couldn't help but take pictures of it on their phones with excitement in their eyes.

The people in the skyscraper also started to notice and quickly took pictures, while some couldn't restrain their curiosity and immediately began to upload them on the internet.

From ancient times, humans have always been bound to the land. Sure, they could fly using planes or helicopters, but they couldn't fly on their own without any support from external gadgets.

Now, this was possible in front of their very eyes as a man flew across the sky completely free and unrestrained from all external things.

"Let's see what he looks like," a boy rubbed his hands as he was full of excitement.

"Buying that Universe S24 Ultra phone for this is well worth it."

As he zoomed the camera 50x to look at the man's face, he immediately froze in place.

"He is the leader of this city, fuck." the boy inadvertently shouted.

Those who knew immediately froze in place, hurriedly keeping their phones to themselves; even those who didn't know kept their phones hidden.

But the photos already uploaded to the internet can't be removed.

The figure in the sky moved wildly before quickly stopping at the tall walls and landing on them.

"Hmm?"

The guards around the area, almost dozing off, immediately woke up at the sound. Just as one was about to shout in anger, he saw Ray's face and froze in place.

His eyes widened, and his body trembled.

"Si- sir..."

"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost," Ray said with a chuckle.

Of course, the figure flying madly was Ray himself.

"I- I..." he stammered.

"Don't worry," Ray reassuringly patted his shoulder while looking at the nameplate and gave a simple order, "don't come to guard duty from tomorrow."

"What!?"

"Did you not hear me?" Ray's voice was slightly cold in his expressionless face.

"Yes, sir." The guard immediately scurried away with a flustered expression while cursing his luck.

Ray stood in place with a calm and collected expression, the wind assailing his face and the noises from the crowd inside the city constantly ringing in his ears.

"Status."

Suddenly, he seemed to have recalled something. When Ray was being bombed by the military, the aircraft was at a very low altitude, which was why he was able to reach it, but why would the aircraft be at a lower altitude?

At this time, his ears twitched as he heard some voices in his ears.

"Hmm?"

Ray looked up with his squinted eyes; even through the clouds, he could see the faint figure of thousands of birds.

With his Gene limit being broken, all his five senses had also been significantly enhanced, reaching new heights.

The most amazing thing about it was that he could control the five senses to have normal hearing or super hearing, and the same applied to his other senses as well.

He looked at the flock of birds, almost completely featherless with redskins and a dense amount of pattern on their bodies.

But what surprised Ray was that there was a "2" written on their heads, each and every single one of them, and they were measured in the hundreds.

"Is this why?" Ray looked, but his gaze was strangely calm, and his heart pulsed with excitement.

The countless level two undead birds finally revealed themselves in his vision.

"Blackbirds?"

Ray murmured as all the blackbirds looked at him with ferocious gaze, opening their beaks, and a loud sound echoed.

All these sounds, however, combined to form one whole shockwave, and it rapidly approached Ray at a terrifying speed.

Everything on the path of the shockwave was destroyed as it immediately came towards Ray rapidly.

The sky itself seemed to tremble under the might of the shockwave, even the void trembling.

But Ray stood calm and tall like an unmovable mountain.

Ray extended his hand forward, his muscles coiling with raw power, and tightened his fist into a punch. The surrounding mere act of tightening his fist caused a terrifying shockwave.

Boom!

In an instant, an even more powerful shockwave was produced that directly crashed into the other, causing a collision in the sky.

"They are weak," Ray muttered as he lightly punched them from far away.

In an instant, the world seemed to tremble with his force. The entire surrounding became discombobulated as faint appeared in the sky.

The wind grew violent, producing countless storms as Ray's punch landed on the flock of Level Two undead birds.

In front of his eyes, the world was instantly turned to shreds, and all the level two undead birds paused in the sky as if time itself had slowed down.

After a few seconds, the birds moved, only to turn into dust blown away by the wind.

Ray slowly retracted his fist, feeling the rapidly increased mutation energy in his body.

"Weaklings."

He left the word as he rapidly travelled in the sky, leaving the crumbled remains of the level two undead blackbirds behind.
