My Reborn Apocalypse Begins with a Divorce novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

The source of all these changes was that warm energy that had come from the mutated husky. Ray had no choice but to think this through carefully.

‘Could this disaster be causing evolution in humans or other creatures?‘ he pondered.

‘Or is it mutation?

‘Maybe that’s how I gained spatial powers.

‘And that husky… its transformation was different. Its body grew larger, its speed faster, its strength multiplied many times over. Not invincible, but its defense is terrifying. That’s basically physical enhancement.

‘Are there others like me–or like the mutated husky–in this world?

‘Definitely.

“The husky may be powerful, but my ability can handle it. After all, it was just a dumb dog. It couldn’t match human intelligence.

‘But… what if yesterday I hadn’t faced a dog, but a human? How that would have turned out, I don’t even want to guess.

‘More importantly… abilities, powers, whatever you want to call them, can grow stronger by absorbing other powered humans

or mutated beasts. That’s the real problem.‘

He rubbed his brow.

If he could absorb powers to grow stronger, so could others.

He had originally planned to hole up in his villa, only going out occasionally to collect fuel or energy. With the villa’s defenses and his stockpile of supplies, he could have comfortably survived there until the end.

But now, he realized there could be other powered individuals–and the probability was high. Some could continue growing stronger over time. That was frightening.

Right now, Ray was confident that even if the mutated husky resurrected, it couldn’t breach the villa’s defenses. Not to mention the villa–its security doors were stronger than those at the police station.

But… if that husky could absorb abilities and grow stronger? Then all bets were off.

If he stayed holed up in the villa while other powered humans kept growing, eventually, a sufficiently strong individual could smash through and drag him out, absorbing his powers for themselves.

At that point, it wouldn’t matter whether he had made enemies–his powers alone would be the reason others attacked him. That was his original sin.

Would he give up his abilities? No. First, he didn’t want to. Second, even if he tried, he wouldn’t know how.

‘So, if I want to survive freely in this apocalyptic chaos, unbound by anyone, I cannot afford to stay staguant. I can’t just hide and hope to survive temporarily. I must grow stronger. Only when I am strong enough to crush all opponents will no one dare challenge me.‘

Ray drew a deep breath. Having already died once, he had no desire to die again.

To survive, he had to hunt and kill other powered humans.

‘First, I must stay low, hide my abilities, and avoid drawing attention. Second, I must take the initiative, seek out other powered humans, and make myself stronger. After just one absorption, the spatial portal’s maximum size doubled, and all my physical stats improved. What if I absorb a few more?”

The thought filled him with anticipation.

He felt his determination solidify. If even a survivalist like him craved strength, what about the others? Competition and killing were inevitable.

In that case, there was only one choice: face it head–on.
