Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

"You've got a lot to learn, boy."

It was hard to believe that a mutation could make a 1st stage Student become as strong as a Pre-Intern Savior.

However, the evidence was staring him in the eyes, specifically cat eyes.

With how easily she overpowered him, there was no doubt in his mind that she was someone who could complete Pre-Intern missions with ease. The only way he'd be able to go toe to toe against her was if he used his Blood Transformation LifeSkill. But even then, he didn't know if it would have been enough; she wasn't even using her katars in this fight!

"Are you going to teach me?"

Lizzie pushed her body closer to his and shushed him with one of her long nails. "In time. Don't be impatient. We're just starting to have fun."

Atlan wasn't used to this kind of Lizzie. She was…dominating.

He didn't hate this new her.

She then took his hand and made him touch her soft and fluffy cat ears. "There are a lot of freaks with multiple mutations from different Genuses, and I think they're just wasting their body spaces. Look at me. I only have feline mutations all over my body, now and in the future."

She rubbed her whiskered cheeks on his hand.

"I'll be benevolent and tell you a secret. Mutations can increase each other's power by multiple times as long as they are from the same Genus!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Atlan was curious with her words.

"Is that why you have all cat parts on your body?"

She nodded. "Yes! My first mutation is my cat eyes. Originally, I was only able to see things as far as 20 meters out, but once I got my cat ears, it changed to 40 meters. And once I got my whiskers, it changed to 80 meters. It continued to multiply by two with each cat mutation I obtained until I could see almost 500 meters out with crystal clear clarity!

Not only that, all those subsequent mutations also benefited from the synergy of all my feline parts."

Lizzie put her hands on his chest and dug in her claws. "I told you earlier that a 4-star mutation was stronger than a 7-star mutation. Can you tell me why?"

Atlan felt her claws dig deep into his chest with each second he remained silent. Unless he figured out the answer to her question quick, then she would continue to claw her way to his heart.

He fell silent for a few seconds until he finally found a reason.

"Is it because a 4-star mutation can be easily obtained rather than a 7-star mutation?"

Lizzie smiled and said, "Good job," as she licked her fingers and stroked his chest. Her feline saliva somehow closed to wounds on his skin and prevented further leakage on his SoulTime.

"You can obtain ten 4-star mutations before you can get two 7-star mutations. By then, the person with the ten mutations, all at synergy with each other, will overpower the one with only one 7-star mutation by a large margin. Even if that person has ten 7-star mutations, but from different Genuses, then they would still lose against the synergy from the 4-star mutation.

The synergy of mutations is that powerful."

"Is that why you chose the 5-star feline mutation?" he asked her. "It's high enough to be considered a high rarity bloodline, while also being easy enough to get mutations with."

She nodded, satisfied with his answer. "Yes. My goal in this life is to fill my whole body with mutations, turning myself into a full feline! Of course, this is not an easy task. I don't think I can fill 50% of my body with mutations for at least a couple of hundred years.

But once I obtain mutations on 100% of my body and reach perfect mastery over all of them, then I am sure that I can perform Specialist-level missions all by myself! I'll stand a head above Specialist Saviors.

I will do that, with only a 1st stage Student power LifeSkill, thereby proving the superiority of mutations to the world!"

Atlan didn't know that Lizzie had a passion for her mutations. She was so dedicated to her mutations that she was willing to let her LifeSkill stay at the very lowest level and only focus on improving her body mutations. That took a different level of courage and guts that Atlan was definitely impressed with.

This was the first time he saw a hint of insanity in Lizzie, but it was the kind of craziness that was attractive.

The fact that she was able to prove herself as a Savior with the strength of a Pre-Intern with only her mutations said a lot about dedication and her hard work.

He wasn't the only one who noticed her talent. Custodire, Ninth, the Elder Heads, and a lot of other people noticed Lizzie's powerful mutations, and that was the reason why she was so well-known among the high-ranking Saviors.

She was a pioneer in the area. She inspired other Saviors to invest more of their time and energy into their mutations as opposed to solely focusing on LifeSkills.

And she did all of that within a hundred years. She was a talent that was on par with geniuses, but she was largely overlooked by the general public because they didn't know about the true power of mutations. They only know that she was a 1st stage Student, and thought nothing of her.

The more he thought about Lizzie, the more he desired the power of mutations.

"Tell me how."

Lizzie smiled when she heard that. "Mutations are like muscles, they need to be stretched and broken before they are rebuilt to something better and stronger.

That is mastery. Most people think that mastery can only be achieved through hard work, patience, and time. That isn't exactly wrong, but it's not the most efficient way to achieve it.

For you to achieve mastery over your mutation, then you have to sacrifice something."
