Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 366

Chapter 366: entering seclusion
“Roar!”

In the far rear of the snow beast horde, a furious roar echoed with deep resentment.

Endless sound waves pierced the sky.

Even the survivors inside Dawn City heard it clearly.

The roar struck directly at their souls.

For some reason, just hearing this roar made everyone feel a chill, their hearts pounding uncontrollably.

It instilled a sense of dread.

“This isn’t an ordinary snow beast, nor a Snow Beast Lord. Could it be… the legendary Snow Beast King?”

“It’s likely. Just look at the number of snow beasts outside Dawn City, nearly twenty thousand—dozens of times more than in other cities! It must be their king who has come to Dawn City’s outskirts!”

“Haha, it seems the Snow Beast King knows how formidable Dawn City is and the terror of the city lord. Therefore, it specifically appeared here to target the city lord!”

“Haha, just as I thought. It must be the case.”

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Outside the city, the snow beasts that had been charging towards Dawn City suddenly halted upon hearing the roar and began to retreat.

The first wave of the snow beast horde was a complete victory for Dawn City!

“Yay! The snow beast tide has finally retreated. We can finally take a breather. This is wonderful!”

“The snow beasts suffered such heavy losses this time. They probably won’t launch another attack so soon, right?”

“Don’t let your guard down. The Snow Beast King is no less intelligent than we are. If it launches a surprise attack while we’re unprepared, Black Iron City might be our fate.”

“You’re right. I didn’t consider this thoroughly. I apologize!”

“No need for apologies. I’m just reminding everyone to relax but not let our guard down. We still need to remain vigilant.”

“However, I must say, the snow beasts really suffered heavy losses this time. At least several thousand snow beasts were killed. I’ve never seen so many snow beasts combined before.”

“Only a city like Dawn City, with the city lord in command, can withstand such a large-scale attack from snow beasts. Other cities would have fallen centuries ago.”

“Hahaha, exactly!”

With the first wave of the snow beast tide dispersed, everyone in Dawn City appeared very invigorated.

They were all smiling, in high spirits, almost ready to leap with joy.

Nathan, Jose, and the others were equally elated.

Even though they knew the snow beast tide would return, and likely with even greater force and recklessness, they had won— and won decisively.

Alex asked, “What are our casualties? Have they been tallied?”

Nathan responded with a smile, “We’ve tallied them. Our casualties were minimal—only one snow beast breached the defensive line, one person was killed in action, and two were injured. Other than that, we had no additional losses.”

Upon hearing this, Alex nodded in satisfaction and reminded them, “Although we achieved victory in the first phase, we must not let our guard down. The second wave of snow beasts might come soon!”

Nathan and Jose both nodded in agreement. As the front-line commanders, their positions were crucial. They quickly left to return to their posts.

…

Afterwards, Alex reviewed the Originium collected by the two.

Thousands of snow beasts and over a hundred snow beast lords had been killed.

The remaining Originium was quite substantial.

Each ordinary snow beast contained about twenty units of Originium, which could be converted into over twenty points of evolution.

Each lord-class snow beast contained nearly a hundred units of Originium, equivalent to a hundred evolution points.

However, due to the massive power of the laser cannons, a significant portion of the Originium was destroyed.

Additionally, some Originium was buried on the battlefield and difficult to retrieve.

Overall, Alex had gained nearly thirty thousand evolution points.

“Such a large amount of evolution points…”

Alex thought for a moment. The most urgent task now was to enhance his own combat power. His current abilities were all at level four.

To upgrade to level five required ten thousand evolution points. So, while thirty thousand points seemed a lot, it was actually not enough for much.

It would only be sufficient to upgrade three abilities.

Currently, Alex had nine abilities: Transformation, Fly, Pyrokinesis, Shadow Clone, Petrification, Invisibility, Invincible Body, and Teleportation.

“Enhancing my combat power is crucial. Invincible Body is very important, Pyrokinesis is also key, and… Teleportation too.”

“These three abilities are critical. Perhaps they are the key to defeating the Snow Beast King.”

In this world, Alex no longer had any opponents. The only source of pressure was the unseen Snow Beast King.

Initially, Alex only needed to deal with the Snow Beast King to end the snow beast tide.

However, Alex knew that with his current strength, he might not be able to defeat the Snow Beast Lord. Rushing into action might lead to a trap and result in a tragic end.

With this in mind, he planned to go into seclusion to upgrade his abilities. He had a feeling that reaching level five was a crucial turning point. Upgrading from level four to level five would likely be difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, he needed a quiet place for this process.

Before entering seclusion, he spoke with Mia and Olivia. “I have over thirty thousand evolution points and need to go into seclusion. This amount will allow me to upgrade three of my abilities. Additionally, there are over three thousand evolution points left for you. That should be enough for you to upgrade your abilities to level four!”

With that, Alex transferred the evolution points to them. Both Mia and Olivia accepted them without hesitation.

The few thousand evolution points were no longer of much use to Alex. What mattered most to them was Alex himself.

It seemed that upgrading his abilities to level five was not going to be easy.

Noticing their concerns, Alex explained, “I feel that level five is a critical threshold. The upper limit of abilities is quite low, and level five is already very high, nearing the maximum. Therefore, upgrading is difficult, even with enough evolution points.”

Hearing this, the two nodded. They then watched Alex enter the secluded chamber.

…

Afterwards, the two women exchanged glances and decided to upgrade their abilities as soon as possible. Compared to Alex, their upgrade process was much faster. In less than half an hour, they were done.

Mia successfully upgraded her ability [Healing] to level five.

At this point, she could use [Healing] twelve times a day.

Furthermore, each use was no longer limited to a single person; she could heal ten to thirty people at once. This upgrade was truly epic.

Mia was beaming with joy, feeling both excited and thrilled.
