MasukToday's focus was Lucy and Lindsay's evolution. Whether they succeeded or not would depend entirely on their own fortune.However, the appearance of the golden snowflakes had changed everything. Even if evolution failed, hope was no longer cut off.As long as another golden snowflake could be found, there was still a chance. And Ray already had one stored in his spatial dimension. But… who should he give it to?He was admittedly a little biased. He intended to give this golden snowflake to Stella first.No other reason—she was beautiful, and her skills were excellent. Naturally, she ranked above Amanda and the other women.A man, after all, could be this superficial.Of course, if Lucy's evolution failed, then the priority would shift back to Lucy.In short, his decision was based on pure, unfiltered shallowness.By the afternoon, Lucy and Lindsay had both reached the final stage of evolution.Ray multitasked, running two "procedures" simultaneously with ease.He was simply t
Ray clicked his tongue softly.Jess was excellent at provoking others, but precisely because she had offended too many people, she could never become the leader of the harem. She lacked the ability to command respect.Molly, however, was different. She was composed and generous, with a faint aura of military decisiveness. She handled matters fairly and without bias. Even though she was not the oldest, Honey and Heather were both willing to follow her lead.Having Molly as the matriarch of the household would likely keep everything peaceful.Otherwise, if it were Jess, she would probably end up as a "single commander," with no one listening to her at all—everyone would just gang up and oppose her.Ray didn't even need to go upstairs. A sweep of his spatial perception confirmed that Lucy and Lindsay were still undergoing evolution. They were likely still on track for completion tomorrow.Thinking of evolution naturally brought him to golden snowflakes—and then to the creatures in t
Ray released the hovercraft, spatial wapped Paige onto it, and then piloted the craft back toward Senna City.The hovercraft was slow, traveling at only about forty kilometers per hour. Dolmein lay in the southwest of Senna City, more than a hundred kilometers away in a straight line. But Ray wasn't in a hurry. Nightfall made no difference to him anyway.Nearly three hours later, they arrived back at Bay Garden.At that moment, Paige slowly woke up.Upon learning that she had already returned home with Ray, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Even though this wasn't exactly meeting the in-laws, she still felt a strange sense of guilt.Would she be interrogated? Would she be subtly excluded or isolated by the others?Her thoughts spiraled for a moment, and she even found herself wishing she could stay forever in Guillory City with Ray instead."It's fine. They're all very nice girls," Ray said with a smile, leading her off the boat and into the residence."Honey, welcom
Kirk's total energy of abilities was roughly around 4,000 units.Because Ray's spatial perception—his most precise measurement tool—had been fixed at a 10-kilometer radius, he could no longer use any expansion of range to accurately determine how much ability energy he had absorbed. He could only rely on experience now.After thinking for a moment, Ray decided to return to Paige. The side effects would be kicking in soon.He erupted into full speed and quickly returned to Zimtam Outpost.At present, the entire Zimtam Outpost was occupied only by Paige, making the place feel unusually empty. It reminded Ray of the first time he had seen her—lying in the snow in a wedding dress, that sense of loneliness, despair, and cold beauty lingering in his mind no matter how much time had passed."Did it go well?" Paige asked. She knew he had gone to hunt down the Jayzepanese.Ray smiled and nodded. "It went well. But because it went so well—"Paige's fair cheeks turned slightly red. She now
A strange scene unfolded—Kirk's entire body suddenly vanished, replaced instead by a single strand of shattered hair.Interesting.When Ray had previously killed him via spatial portal consumption or spatial severance, the resulting hair had always remained intact. Even when Gunnr had cut him in half, the hair split neatly into two segments.But now?It looked as though it had been chopped into hundreds of fragments.So the hair reflected the state of his death at the moment it occurred?A substitute-for-death ability… did it even transfer injuries along with death?Good. That meant he could play again."Hey, Jayzepanese bastard, have you hidden well? Heh… I'm coming for you."Ray smiled and leapt out of the tower.Time to search again. How long would it take?Barely fifteen minutes later, he found Kirk once more.As expected, Kirk was alive and kicking, with no trace of injury on him at all. This substitute ability really was something.Unfortunately, Kirk himself wasn't
The results proved that the mutated lobster was not poisonous.Ray waited for a full hour, but Kirk showed no signs of toxin-induced death at all. His blood remained completely normal.This much, at least, Ray—who possessed microscopic observation abilities—could confirm with certainty.Of course, the reason for the delay wasn't only to verify whether the lobster meat was toxic. It was also to let Kirk fully savor suffering.For a bad guy like Kirk, killing him in a single strike would be far too merciful.And since Kirk had many lives, Ray would take his time. The more lives Kirk had, the more times Ray would make him suffer. Ray really wanted to see whether, in the end, Kirk would regret having so many lives.With a thought, Ray activated spatial swap. He swapped a stone inside Kirk's stomach with one outside.The stone inside him was only slightly larger than a fist. But the one that replaced it… was bigger than a human head.In an instant, Kirk erupted in agony."Kill me!
Ray was resting with his eyes closed.He had barely slept a few hours the night before. Even though his body was far stronger than that of an ordinary person, he still couldn't afford to overdraw himself too much.From time to time, he released a pulse of spatial perception. Sending one out every
It was completely impassable.Digging out a passage? It could be done, but how long would it take? It would be even slower than walking out on foot.So one had to keep a low profile. When national power reemerged and accounts were settled later, which bird that stuck its head out could possibly su
A vast shower of stones shot down from the sky, as if a rainstorm made of rock were falling.They plunged at tremendous speed.These were kinetic stones to begin with, already moving at nearly twenty meters per second. Dropping from a height of ten meters only accelerated them further. Ray then op
Moose flashed a helpless smile and said to Lucas, "Captain, I won't launch any more drones."He simply couldn't bear to lose any more.Lucas nodded. "Once we get closer to the villa, try to see if you can control the electrical systems inside—especially the surveillance.""No problem," Moose prom
