Apocalypse Descends: I Win Effortlessly by Turning Trash into Treasure

”Look down there!”

A sudden shout from an unknown person on Noah’s Ark drew everyone’s attention.

Following the direction of the pointing fingers, everyone looked outside.

Below, the bar owner hovered in midair. Behind her was a door emitting a strange, wondrous light.

Further down, a chubby pink fish was bound by a pair of vines like a dumpling, with no strength left to resist.

The players present knew the bar owner was powerful. After all, this was someone who could casually customize four-star cards, so the Card Level she possessed must be high.

The Survival Game Administration had even speculated that the bar owner possessed a five-star card.

But guessing was one thing. Seeing it for real was another matter entirely.

Looking at the chubby pink fish below, it appeared harmless and weak, but they hadn’t forgotten the violent impact from just moments ago. There was no doubt that this fish was the culprit.

Especially since it was the twenty-ninth day of the game, just before the final day. This was arguably the most dangerous time.

What kind of ”good” fish would a chubby pink one that suddenly appeared now be?

Meanwhile, some players who had bought identification items from Perry Yates already knew the chubby pink fish was actually a Mimic Octopus, but they chose not to say anything.

At the same time, Perry Yates’s battle was also drawing to a close.

She watched the Mimic Octopus below, now completely drained of strength and no longer struggling, and gave her final command to the Seed of Life and the Dodder Seed.

As the Seed of Life continued its consumption, countless small red beads were collected by Perry Yates. These were all Flesh Essence, absorbed and condensed from the Mimic Octopus’s body—one could also call it Life Essence. It had the ability to heal wounds and restore energy.

As the Mimic Octopus’s body was completely drained, the chubby pink fish finally reverted from its mimicked state. A giant octopus over two hundred meters long appeared before everyone.

Its body, however, looked a bit too shriveled.

With the death of the Mimic Octopus, two cards appeared above its body and slowly floated into Perry Yates’s hands.

After seeing the two cards’ abilities clearly, Perry Yates was so excited she almost screamed out loud. She managed to hold it back, however, knowing that quite a few people on Noah’s Ark were watching her.

Although she didn’t scream out loud, she couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from turning up in a smile.

After turning and stepping through the Any Door, Claudia Vance also returned to Perry Yates’s hand.

That’s right. The only reason Perry Yates had been able to hover in midair was thanks to Claudia Vance.

The people on Noah’s Ark hadn’t noticed because she had dispersed Claudia Vance, turning it into a thin layer of mist.

Never mind the people on Noah’s Ark. Even someone up close would have had a hard time spotting it.

Back in the cockpit, Perry Yates eagerly took out the two cards.

Both were three-star cards, and both were Skill Cards.

The first Skill Card was named Tentacles. When used, it would cause flexible, octopus-like tentacles to sprout from the user’s body, which could be used for both offense and defense.

It was a three-star card, so its power was undeniable. It’s just...

Perry Yates looked at the menacing, writhing tentacles depicted on the card, an expression of utter disgust on her face.

Then came the second card.

This Skill Card was named Mimic Skin. Its ability was to allow the user to disguise themselves as anything they had ever seen, including inanimate objects. Additionally, Mimic Skin could also change the surface color of the body.

In other words, after integrating this card, you could instantly turn yourself into an Avatar.

The only drawback was that after using this card, the user’s skin would become extremely fragile. Fire was its nemesis, and the skin had to be kept constantly moist.

Perry Yates, who had been thrilled about the card’s potential, instantly sobered up.

’The ability to disguise myself as anything is tempting, but not if it comes at the cost of a fatal weakness. Better just forget it.’

Perry Yates shook her head and put the two cards away. ’I should probably just sell these.’

”Seriously, all that excitement for nothing.”

Perry Yates sat in her chair and stretched her arms overhead, feeling completely deflated.

”When the hell is this damn game going to end?”

Perry Yates complained internally, but her eyes remained fixed on the security monitors, her vigilance never wavering.

「Nightfall.」

The once-clear night sky was suddenly filled with raging winds.

A deafening roar sounded from outside the protective barrier, exceptionally loud in the rainless night.

Because Noah’s Ark was flying high in the sky and had been shrunk down so much, it was somewhat affected by the violent gales.

Perry Yates watched the scene outside from the control room, her expression grim.

’Just as I thought,’ she mused. ’The game really was saving up its biggest move for last.’

The Moonlight was bright tonight. Combined with the high altitude that allowed for a vast line of sight, Perry Yates could see a shimmering white line in the distance, at the very edge of the sea, steadily approaching.

The first thing that came to mind upon seeing this was, of course, a tsunami. After all, out on the open ocean, what other disaster could it be besides a typhoon?

However, Perry Yates noticed that this was no ordinary tsunami. There was clearly something else hidden within the seawater.

It was Deep Sea Cannibals and Mimic Octopuses.

Just then, a wave dozens of stories high surged toward Noah’s Ark like a ferocious beast.

Amidst the surging wave, a pink tentacle was clearly visible.

Judging by the tentacle, this Mimic Octopus was far larger than the one she had killed earlier.

After all, Noah’s Ark was flying at a considerable altitude, yet the tentacle had still nearly reached it.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Perry Yates raised Noah’s Ark’s altitude and restored it to its original size.

As the saying goes, size begets strength. This held true for Noah’s Ark as well.

Although its larger size made it an easier target, its defenses were also stronger.

Thanks to Perry Yates’s decisive action, Noah’s Ark was completely unaffected.

The giant wave roared past, crashing down with unstoppable force upon the city of Solara, which had only just weathered one disaster.

Solara, already a city in ruins, was instantly wiped clean—including everyone still inside.

In the end, the city still could not escape its fate of utter destruction.

As far as the eye could see, the entirety of Solara had once again become a boundless ocean.

「The Thirtieth Day of the Game.」

Today was the final day of the game. Inside Noah’s Ark, nearly every player was both excited and tense.

After all, it was the final day, and no one wanted any last-minute trouble.
