Investing in My Harem in the Apocalypse Makes Me Stronger

Heavenly Demon was not simply moving quickly as every successful step increased the power behind the next.

So, the longer he maintained the sequence, the more dangerous his movement became.

Cain returned to the information.

[Heavenly Demon Finger]

[Compresses an extreme amount of Heavenly Demon Qi into the user’s fingers.]

[The concentrated energy is released through a precise thrust possessing tremendous penetration and destructive power.]

[The skill is particularly effective against concentrated defensive points, armor, Mana barriers, and vulnerable energy nodes.]

[When successfully penetrating a target, the condensed Heavenly Demon Qi continues spreading inward and damages surrounding tissue and Mana pathways.]

[Demon Subduing the Heavens]

[Temporarily unleashes the deeper power contained within the Heavenly Demon True Body.]

[Greatly increases Strength, Agility, Physique, Mana circulation, Heavenly Demon Qi output, and the destructive power of Demonic martial techniques.]

[While active, Heavenly Demon Qi continuously reinforces the user’s muscles, bones, organs, and Mana pathways, allowing the body to withstand far greater combat output.]

[The greater the power released, the heavier the burden placed upon the user’s body and Mana reserves.]

[Prolonged use greatly increases energy consumption.]

[Heavenly Demon Suppression]

[Releases concentrated Heavenly Demon Qi and the user’s overwhelming presence throughout the surrounding area.]

[Enemies affected by the pressure experience increased difficulty controlling their bodies and Mana, while their concentration and energy circulation are disrupted.]

[Significantly weaker beings may become unable to move properly beneath the pressure.]

[The suppressive effect decreases substantially against enemies possessing comparable or superior strength.]

[Blood-Devouring Demon Claw]

[Condenses Heavenly Demon Qi around the user’s fingers, forming destructive Demonic claws.]

[The claws greatly increase cutting power and can tear through flesh, armor, and energy defenses.]

[When the claws successfully wound a living target, the user may forcibly extract a portion of the target’s Blood Essence and Life energy through the wound.]

[The stolen energy is purified by the Heavenly Demon True Body and converted into nourishment for the user.]

[Heavenly Demon Annihilation Seal]

[Condenses an enormous amount of Heavenly Demon Qi into a massive Demonic seal above the targeted area.]

[Once formed, the seal descends with overwhelming pressure, suppressing everything beneath it.]

[Upon impact, the accumulated Heavenly Demon Qi violently erupts and destroys the surrounding area.]

[The power, size, and suppressive force of the seal increase according to the amount of Heavenly Demon Qi supplied.]

[Heavenly Demon Scripture]

[A supreme Demonic cultivation method perfectly compatible with the Heavenly Demon True Body.]

[Continuously refines Mana into Heavenly Demon Qi while strengthening the user’s body, Mana pathways, and Mana Core.]

[Greatly increases the efficiency at which absorbed energy is refined and converted into usable power.]

[As the user’s comprehension and Echelon increase, deeper portions of the Scripture become available.]

Cain finally closed the information.

For several seconds, he simply watched the battle below.

’This guy is ridiculously strong.’

Cain finally understood why Heavenly Demon had consistently remained ahead of everyone else since the apocalypse began.

An Origin-rank constitution already gave him an absurd foundation, but that was only part of it.

His Mana was continuously refined into the far denser Heavenly Demon Qi, and he possessed a cultivation method perfectly suited to his body.

Even the devouring ability of his constitution allowed him to absorb resources that would normally be dangerous or unusable, including the contaminated Cores and Blood Crystals scattered throughout this Corridor.

The more Cain learned about him, the less surprising Heavenly Demon’s previous achievements became.

Cain smiled faintly, as he kind of felt that he might have met with someone who could be his rival.

The thought amused him more than he expected.

Cain raised his hand.

He was about to order everyone to enter the battlefield when a powerful voice came from the military plaza.

”Don’t interfere with my fight!”

Cain stopped.

Heavenly Demon had kicked one of the commanders away.

Black Qi curled around his body as he briefly glanced toward the ridge where Cain’s group stood.

His voice carried easily across the battlefield.

”These three are part of my Advancement Mission!”

Cain raised an eyebrow as he found it interesting that the Heavenly Demon’s mission was to kill three 3rd Echelon beings by himself.

Cain lowered his hand.

Before he could speak, another shout came from farther away.

”Same here!”

Northern Tyrant caught the shaft of the war hammer with both hands.

His muscles tightened as he forced it away from his body.

He looked toward Cain’s side for only a moment.

”This bastard is mine!”

The commander tried to pull his weapon free, but the Northern Tyrant headbutted him.

BANG!

The commander’s head jerked backward.

Cain looked across the rest of the town and chuckled.

”Fine.”

His raised hand pointed toward the battlefield below.

”Leave the four 3rd Echelons alone.”

Ron tightened his grip around his spear.

”Focus on the 2nd Echelons and help the northern group clear everything else.”

Aurelia unsheathed her sword, her Light Mana spread across the blade.

Her people prepared behind her.

Cain looked toward Elara.

”Go.”

Cain glanced toward Aurelia next, but before he could say anything, she had already begun walking forward.

”I know.”

The combined force rushed down the ridge.

Ron disappeared ahead of everyone else.

Lightning burst around his body as he charged down the damaged road and headed straight toward one of the nearby groups of Zombie Race soldiers.

Nathan remained farther back.

Wind gathered around the arrow resting against his bowstring while his eyes searched the battlefield for dangerous targets.

Aurelia’s force moved with them.

The humans already fighting inside the Northern Anchor Town quickly noticed the arrival of reinforcements.

The Zombie Race soldiers nearest the ridge had already changed direction and were rushing toward them.

Cain remained behind for another moment, then his gaze returned toward Heavenly Demon.

”I’ll watch you properly later.”

Just as he stepped forward, Cain’s expression changed as he heard the notification from the system and a translucent panel appeared directly before his eyes.

[Ding!]

[A major change has occurred within the World-Class Mission Zone.]

[An external reinforcement force has entered Invasion Corridor 73-A.]
