Chapter 425: The 30th Day Of The Zombie Apocalypse

’After all, while Terrans who had become zombies might be able to unite with human Evolvers, the same couldn’t be said for those zombie animals and mutated plants.’

’This world-ending scenario could only be solved by being an Emperor rank powerhouse and then going into hiding. However, this approach only saves those powerhouses, and almost everyone below that Evolver rank would die.’

Thinking of this, Zayne had determined that his intervention this time wouldn’t incur the World Will’s retaliation.

The Zombie Apocalypse World Update Theme was about to end, so it didn’t matter if he were to step up and eliminate most of the zombies.

Those zombie marine creatures rarely caused any casualties in the previous weeks of the zombie apocalypse, so eliminating them wouldn’t actually affect the apocalypse experience of the people living on land.

His actions of intervention now were much different if he had intervened in the first week of the Zombie Apocalypse and wiped out all the zombies, which would inevitably go against the purpose of the Monthly Apocalypse World Update.

’Moreover, I feel like there’s more to this World Update aspect than what’s shown on the surface. The World Will seemed to not care about the probability of wiping out everyone on Terra, so there must be a reason for this.’

’Unfortunately, I haven’t experienced the Second World Update yet, so I can’t determine what makes this special compared to other doomsday scenarios.’

Thinking of this, Zayne sighed. He shifted his attention back to the matter at hand, since thinking about the World Update wouldn’t lead him to any reasonable conclusion without experiencing it firsthand.

Controlling the Winter Spawns, it didn’t take him that long to eliminate all of the zombie marine creatures.

In just several hours, Zayne made use of X-rank World Radar to locate every zombie marine creature hiding within the ocean and eliminated all of them swiftly using his winter spawns.

After he had eliminated all of them, he immediately received feedback from the Loan Shark’s Ledger that everyone on Terra had become his debtors!

In fact, even Henry, Damien, and the others weren’t spared.

They were indeed his best friends, but when it came to favors and loans, friendship was one thing, but those were another matter.

After all, his services weren’t free. Only Jade and his future lovers would be treated differently by him, as they were his family.

’Although I didn’t inform Henry and the others about my Loan Shark’s Ledger, they already know that they owe me for this one. At most, Loan Shark’s Ledger will guarantee that they wouldn’t renege on this debt.’

Adhering to the belief of "Even if he didn’t plan to make use of it, it’s better to have it as an option", Zayne didn’t erase their names on the Loan Shark’s Ledger.

He knew that he’ll eventually reach Heaven rank or even be way stronger, and at that time, he might not even use the Loan Shark’s Ledger against them. But since people change, especially when the world updates, Zayne decided to keep this as a last resort if they ever betrayed him.

Of course, if the Loan Shark’s Ledger wasn’t used, it wouldn’t affect Henry and the others in any way, and they wouldn’t know of it.

In Zayne’s case, he differentiated things from those he gifted and those he loaned out. He was quite generous when giving those resources and innate talent upgrades to Henry and the others.

But now, this matter was different, as he had explicitly mentioned that it was a favor they owed him, and they willingly accepted his offer.

After dealing with this matter, Zayne no longer showed himself and left silently. Compared to spending time with those people, he was more interested in investing that time with Jade and his train crewmates.

Anyway, he didn’t need Benedict and the others’ words of gratitude, as they already owed him a favor and their names were already on the Loan Shark’s Ledger, which was more than enough to deal with their debts.

...

Time flew by in Main World Terra.

It was already the 30th day of the Zombie Apocalypse, and currently 11:30 in the evening.

In other words, it would only take half an hour for the world to be updated into a new Monthly Apocalypse World Update Theme.

Although it was 11:30 PM, most people in Terra were awake, clearly waiting for the upcoming Monthly Apocalypse World Update.

Zayne and Jade weren’t an exception. The two of them had remained awake and were interested in experiencing the World Update firsthand.

It had already been a day and several hours since Zayne had brought forth Eternal Winter into the world.

After eliminating those zombie marine creatures, Zayne hadn’t retracted the Eternal Winter and kept it. However, it wasn’t severe and was mostly like the winter season in modern cities, not strong but mild.

Moreover, due to the mild winter in modern cities, there weren’t any Winter Spawns that appeared.

The reason for doing this was for Zayne to comprehend the Winter Sovereignty after he had consumed the extracted Winter Principle from the Spirit of Winter.

Sure enough, he had successfully comprehended the Winter Sovereignty, and it was now at 71.097% law fragment ownership!

It took him approximately two weeks just to comprehend it after the Third Doomsday Life Simulation ended, even with the resources and Winter Cores he had acquired from the Spirit of Winter and Winter Spawns.

Moreover, if not for having Unparalleled Talent (Red) and X-rank Spirit of Winter innate talent, it might have taken him even longer to attain Winter Sovereignty.

Nevertheless, the fact that he had successfully sublimated the Winter Principle into a Sovereignty meant that he had already surpassed the Spirit of Winter Jeff and was a better Spirit of Winter than her.

As for the Apocalypse Principle, Zayne had discovered that it could not only worsen the apocalypse he caused, but it also had the same effect on existing apocalypses that weren’t related to him.

For example, when he had attempted to use it against the Zombie Apocalypse, the mutation of the zombies and their evolution became even faster and seemed to break past the Overlord rank bottleneck!
