Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 436

Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Level Up
She lost control.

A sharp pain shot through her spine, and the next second, she wasn’t standing on two legs anymore.

She had four. Her vision sharpened, colors becoming more vivid, her hearing picking up even the smallest sounds.

She had transformed into her wolf form.

The little cub gasped. “W-Wolf Goddess?!”

Su Jiyai’s breath came out in quick pants. Her paws dug into the ground, her tail flicking behind her. She felt stronger, faster, more… alive.

Then, another feeling hit her.

A pull. A deep, desperate hunger in her core.

Her blood crystals. If she absorbed them here… she would grow stronger.

Her paws trembled. She wanted to take them out. To use them. But before she could, something even crazier happened.

A powerful energy surged through her body, bursting out like a raging storm. The air around her crackled. The ground trembled beneath her paws.

Then—

A golden light shot out from her body, illuminating the entire clearing.

She had broken through.

The little cub’s jaw dropped. “T-The goddess… She’s ascending!”

The wolves who had followed from behind gasped in awe. Some even fell to their knees, their tails wagging as they howled in praise.

Su Jiyai barely noticed them.

Her body was burning, but it wasn’t painful anymore. It was power. Pure, overwhelming power rushed through her veins.

Her silver fur shimmered, glowing under the energy swirling around her.

Her claws dug into the ground as the force finally settled inside her, wrapping around her core like a warm embrace.

She had leveled up.

[Host, I am back~] The system’s voice sounded cheerful.

[Congratulations, Host, you have Level Up!]

[Congratulations, Host, you have Level Up!]

[Congratulations, Host, you have Level Up!]

…………….

The notification continued and stopped after a while.

The glow around Su Jiyai slowly faded, but the energy inside her didn’t. It felt like fire running through her veins, hot and powerful.

She flexed her claws, feeling the strength in them, the sharpness.

The little cub was still staring at her with big, shiny eyes. “Wolf Goddess, you’re even more amazing than before!”

The other wolves were bowing now, their tails wagging so hard they almost knocked each other over. Some of them even let out small, respectful howls.

Su Jiyai let out a breath, shaking her fur. “Well, that was… intense.”

[Host, you have reached level 20 of your fire superpower, and you have awakened your werewolf lineage!]

So many benefits?

Su Jiyai sucked in breath.

Werewolf lineage fully awakened…it meant that her physical condition would now reach to that of a superhuman.

Super speed. Super strength. Super agility. Super healing. Super sharp senses.

The little cub tilted its head. “Wolf Goddess, are you okay?”

Su Jiyai shook her head to clear her thoughts.

“Yeah, just… processing.” She flexed her claws again, testing her strength. The ground cracked under her paws.

The little cub’s eyes sparkled. “So strong…”

The other wolves nodded in agreement, their tails wagging even faster.

The little cub suddenly gasped. “Wolf Goddess, look!”

Su Jiyai followed its gaze and saw the wolf statue from earlier glowing softly.

Slowly, it lost the luster.

Su Jiyai’s heart sank.

She had absorbed all the power from the statue, and now…it has lost all of its power.

The little cub blinked. “D-Did the temple just… turn off?”

Su Jiyai stared at the dull statue. “Looks like it.”

The other wolves whispered among themselves. Some looked amazed. Others looked nervous.

“The goddess took all the power…”

“Does this mean the temple is useless now?”

A hint of sadness appeared in everyone’s eyes.

The temple was their way to survival. Breakthrough for Darkfang Wolves is already difficult. The temple’s statue assured their safety during the evolution, but now, even that safety was taken away from them.

Yet none of them dared to complain.

“I am sorry.” Su Jiyai said softly.

The gray wolf, who had reached after limping, said,

“It wasn’t your mistake. We knew the statue would someday lose its power. Not to mention, you are our goddess. It is only rightful for you to take the power in the statue.”

Su Jiyai’s ears twitched. She could hear the sadness in the wolves’ voices, even though they tried to act fine.

She frowned. She didn’t like this.

The statue was their hope, their protection. And now, because of her, it was just a useless rock.

She dug her claws into the ground. Wasn’t there anything she could do?

[Host, actually… you can do something~]

Su Jiyai’s eyes narrowed. “What do you mean?”

[Check the statue.]

Su Jiyai’s tail flicked, and she walked over to the statue.

The things that she had missed out on earlier now became clearer.

The statue held a faint smell of blood…

Her eyes narrowed, and various possibilities flashed in her mind.

Finally, she asked,

“Wait…this statue is smeared with blood. Maybe blood is the medium for providing energy. That energy makes sure they evolve without any failure.

Since this werewolf looked so much like me and reacted so violently at my arrival, maybe it is related to me. So, as long as I smear my blood on the statue, maybe the glow will return. Am I right?”

[Host is getting smarter.]

“Just don’t suppress my intelligence, and I would be able to solve 90% of my problems.” Su Jiyai muttered.

Changing the subject she asked,

“So, is it gonna work or not?”

[Hehe~ Why don’t you try and find out?]

She let out a sigh and raised her paw. With a quick bite, she made a small cut, letting a few drops of her blood fall onto the statue.

The second her blood touched the cold stone—

WHOOSH!

A deep, golden light burst out from the statue, swirling around like a small storm. The wolves gasped, their ears perking up in shock.

The little cub bounced on its paws. “It’s working! It’s working!”

The golden glow didn’t just return—it exploded.

Waves of powerful energy pulsed from the statue, sweeping through the entire temple like a raging storm.

The wolves, who had been standing still in awe, suddenly let out startled yelps as the light washed over them.

Then, the real miracle happened.

One of the older wolves—his fur streaked with gray—let out a loud howl, his body trembling.

His form flickered, his muscles tensing as a deep, golden glow surrounded him.

The younger wolves gasped as his body began to shift. His fur darkened, his limbs grew stronger, and his aura intensified.

The old wolf was evolving!

Then another wolf. And another.

“T-The temple never did this before!” one of the wolves shouted, panting heavily. “I-It’s too powerful!”

“What is happening?!” another gasped as his body trembled with the force of evolution.

Su Jiyai stood in the center of it all, watching everything with narrowed eyes. Unlike the wolves, she wasn’t struggling.

[Host, do you know why this happened?]

Su Jiyai flicked her tail, watching as the last few wolves finished their evolution. She had already figured it out.

“It’s because my bloodline is superior,” she said calmly, not even surprised anymore.

“The original energy inside the statue was strong, but my bloodline is stronger. So when I mixed my blood with it, the effect became even more powerful.”

[Ding ding ding~ Correct!]

[Your werewolf lineage is far superior to the original energy in the statue. When your blood mixed with it, the entire energy system of the temple changed. Now, the evolution boost isn’t just from the statue—it’s from you.]

Su Jiyai hummed in understanding. So, in other words, she was now the true source of this temple’s power.

The little cub stumbled over to her, still glowing faintly. His paws wobbled, but his tail wagged like crazy.

“Wolf Goddess! I feel… super strong!” He bounced on his paws before tripping over himself, landing in a fluffy heap. “Oof!”

The older wolves were still in shock. They looked at each other, then at Su Jiyai, then back at the statue.

“This… this wasn’t a normal blessing. This was something greater,” the gray wolf murmured, his voice shaking with reverence.

“The Wolf Goddess didn’t just restore the temple… She made it stronger.”

“No…” Another wolf shook his head. “She became the temple.”

A deep silence followed those words. Then, slowly, the wolves lowered their heads.

“From today onward, we pledge ourselves to you, Wolf Goddess!” the gray wolf declared, his voice filled with unshakable faith.

“You are not just a legend to us—you are our goddess, the one who gave us strength!”

The other wolves howled in agreement, their eyes burning with devotion.

[Darkfang Wolves are now completely devoted to you. They won’t just follow you—they’ll fight for you, die for you. They see you as their true leader!]

Su Jiyai’s gaze flickered to the wolves, their eyes filled with trust and admiration.

Well.

That could be useful.

She smirked, stretching her claws.

“Alright, then. If you’re all gonna follow me, you better follow some rules. First and foremost rule, you can’t hurt humans and…”

Thump

The sound of a thump caught everyone’s attention, and they saw a female human.

“Ragnar, I never thought you would betray humanity!”
