YM778.TV Chapter 81: Gene Synchronisation
"It is the perfect opportunity for a bloodbath," he muttered to himself as he glanced at the red panel in front of him with excitement in his eyes.
He hadn\'t gotten this for a while; almost all the genes he had spread recently were unawakenable.
"Can I only get skills now from higher-class awakened mothers?" Ray frowned at this thought.
The probability of gaining an awakened baby seemed to decrease as Ray spread more of his genes.
Still, this was just his conjecture, and Ray couldn\'t prove it without more data.
After all, although his women had reached three digits, there were still more than thirty women he hadn\'t touched yet. It still wasn\'t enough.
"I need to spread my genes even more!" Ray declared proudly, raising his hands.
"Umm, what are you doing, Ray?" Yuna\'s weak voice came from behind him.
"Cough, cough, nothing. Just rest in bed, even if you are pushed to the limits," he said, with a hint of embarrassment.
"Alright." A faint smile curved the corner of Yuna\'s mouth despite her weakened state.
"Looks like I need even thicker skin, but it\'s not bad to see her smile…" Ray muttered to himself, then looked at the prompt again.
[You have awakened a new skill, A-class: Genetic Synchronisation. Do you want to activate it?]
"Yes." Ray accepted the skill without hesitation, closing his eyes to sense any changes.
But he stood there awkwardly for a solid ten minutes before his brows began to furrow.
"Nothing?" Ray wondered to himself, a question mark hovering in his thoughts. The suppressed chuckle from Yuna, who was nearby, made the situation even more awkward.
No matter how thick Ray\'s skin was, he still felt a little embarrassment in his heart.
"Status."
The familiar red panel appeared in front of him.
—--
[Name: Ray Crownwell]
[Status: Awakened (A-class)]
[Skill: Body Strengthening (Awakening IV), Necromancer (Awakening III), Analyser (Awakening I), Weapon Master (Awakening I), Fire Magic (Awakening I), Lightning Arts (Awakening II), Healer (Awakening I), Ice Magic (Awakening I), Mechanic (Awakening I), Genetic Synchronisation (Awakening I)]
—--
"Hmm, my class is still A-class?" Ray observed.
The sum of his skills was essentially categorised under the Awakening class.
Even with the new addition of an A-class skill, he still couldn\'t reach the level of S-class.
However, if he gradually accumulated A-class skills, he might eventually reach S-class without acquiring any S-class skills at all.
"I still need to spread my Genes more."
Ray then focused on his new A-class skill, Genetic Synchronisation.
[Skill: Genetic Synchronisation (Awakening I)
A powerful awakened skill that allows the user to share their genes with others and inversely. When the user shares their genes, they temporarily gain a portion of the other person\'s abilities, as all awakened skills are recorded in the user\'s genes.
This skill can be used once per day. With prolonged use, the user may permanently acquire the other person\'s ability depending on the Awakener\'s compatibility with the skill and gene.
Condition:
-To share genes, the user must have an intimate and close connection with the person, both emotionally and physically.
Limitation:
-Consumes a massive amount of mutation energy and time to synchronise with the person. The temporary ability lasts between ten minutes and one hour, depending on the strength of the connection. The user experiences a period of vulnerability after the temporary skill is revoked.]
"How considerate."
Ray muttered to himself. It was his first time seeing the conditions and limitations for a skill in his system.
"But how can this skill be classified as A-class?" Ray frowned. Although this skill was undoubtedly valuable to him, the skill class is universally determined, and there was extensive data about it.
Just like his necromancer skill, which was only B-class due to its shortcomings, this skill also had its flaws.
"It must be because the potential is even higher, despite the numerous shortcomings."
Ray thought excitedly, especially since he already had Yuna, an S-class Awakener.
As he thought of her, he looked at her figure covered under the blanket with a fiery gaze, but he restrained himself just in time.
"It\'s time for us to escape." The lustful part of his brain could only be temporarily suppressed for now.
Ray let her rest for a moment until she was able to walk properly.
"Are you fine now?"
"Yes." Yuna blushed when she felt his hot breath against her skin.
"Good, then we\'re preparing to leave right now."
Ray carried her and casually walked out the door.
"Umm, I can walk."
"You walk too slow."
"..."
As soon as he opened the door, six women tumbled over each other.
"You guys."
"We just stumbled here." Vanessa said, looking embarrassed.
"Fine, fine." Ray rubbed his temples. "We\'re leaving now."
"So soon? It\'s only 11 pm."
"Yeah."
With Ray\'s instructions, everyone got ready to leave while he pulled Yuna aside with a serious expression on his face.
"Yuna, tell me everything about your ability if we\'re to escape or defeat the army."
Her expression turned serious as she relayed all the details of her ability to him.
"I seem to have an independent small space of my own."
"Hmm, can you enter it?"
"No, I can\'t. It\'s too small. I can send smaller objects into it, though."
"Can you enter if it becomes larger?" Ray\'s eyes brightened.
"I assume so." Yuna extended her hand, and with Ray watching intently, her arm seemed to vanish from sight, as if it had ceased to exist. There was no blood flow, making the scene quite eerie.
"This…"
Before Ray could say anything further, the hand reappeared in front of him.
"It\'s fine."
"You almost gave me a heart attack," Ray said seriously.
"I\'m really fine," she replied softly, feeling her heart warm.
"I\'m glad. Is there anything else you can do?"
