Chapter 429: Top Survivor Ranking!

With his system, Zayne felt that it wasn’t that difficult to attain perfection. For others, it might take millions of years or even more.

But in his case, it would only take an instant in the real world. Of course, it was inevitable for him to experience a lot of time within the Doomsday Life Simulation, so even his system only gave him time to achieve it faster.

For the process, it wasn’t skipped, and it was something he had to experience and attain. At most, the simulation talents ensured that he wouldn’t be stuck at a certain threshold. But for the most part, it still relied on his hard work within the Doomsday Life Simulation.

Like in the Second Doomsday Life Simulation, it took him more than a hundred years in the train survival universe and more than a thousand years within the time dilation of the Zenith Train.

’Since perfection isn’t that difficult to achieve for me, I presume that it’s merely the minimum requirement to enter the gaze of those top powerhouses.’

’Anyway, it’s not a problem for me since I am confident that I’ll eventually reach it. Not just me, but Jade as well. If my train crewmates are lucky and I encounter their parallel selves, it’s not impossible for me to let them achieve perfection as well.’

While Zayne had such thoughts, the World Will continued its global announcement a few minutes later.

[The punishment has been successfully delivered. Those who had died and had been punished will be resurrected in the next Monthly Apocalypse World Update.]

[Now, the publication of the Top Survivor Ranking and Perfection Ranking will commence, starting from the Top Survivor Ranking!]

Reading the rankings within the Top Survivor Ranking, Zayne saw his name on it and the title beside it, and he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Damn you, World Will!"

"Is the World Will this petty? Now everyone knows I’m the Sovereign of Order. Even my power rank beside my title wasn’t revealed in the end, due to how absurdly high it is."

"But this way, this shows how abnormal my power rank is, as well as yours."

Hearing Zayne’s exclamation, Jade chuckled, "Rather than us worrying about our power and title being revealed, the ones who should worry are those top survivors."

"To be honest, I didn’t expect someone could reach the rank above Overlord, especially when the upper limit of the zombie virus is merely Overlord rank."

"After all, the two of us haven’t surveyed the entire world, even if we could. We weren’t interested in voyeurism and haven’t checked the innate talents of everyone on Terra."

Zayne nodded, "That’s true. I presume they’ve achieved Overlord Ruler due to their innate talents."

"Since they escaped Absolute Compass’s detection, then even if they aren’t necessarily good people, they at least aren’t that bad. Those who were beyond saving had already been killed by me and harvested for their innate talent."

"Moreover, from the looks of it, I’ve underestimated them. To think two people have reached Ruler rank above Overlord rank... It’s truly unexpected."

"One thing I’m certain is that they definitely do not have an X-rank innate talent. Otherwise, my Absolute Compass would have already detected it long ago. In other words, they’ve accomplished Ruler rank due to their SSS-rank innate talent."

Hearing your words, Jade suggested, "Darling, how about you use Hint Prompt on them to acquire more information? I’m curious what their innate talents are."

Listening to Jade’s suggestion, Zayne nodded and used Hint Prompt, with the name of Arthur and Green on the Top Survivor Ranking as the medium.

{Hint Prompt: Arthur Vanfort is 27 years old, male. He is a survivor who has awakened the SSS-rank Rank Upper innate talent. Rank Upper allows him to increase his current power rank by one major rank, bypassing the power rank limit of a power system as long as it doesn’t exceed Starlight rank.}

{Hint Prompt: Arthur’s SSS-rank Rank Upper has a cooldown of only being able to use it once a day, with a duration of one hour. Moreover, prolonged usage of Rank Upper allows him to loosen the bottleneck of reaching the next major power rank, which was what allowed Arthur to reach Evolver Ruler despite the viral evolution power system’s power rank limit of Overlord rank.}

{Hint Prompt: Green Browns is 19 years old, male. He is a survivor who has awakened the SSS-rank Devouring Beast innate talent. Devouring Beast allows him to devour and consume almost anything, thereby extracting the "nutrients" of those he has consumed. It is not limited to inorganic matter but also organic matter like the flesh of monsters and even humans.

However, the resources needed by the holder of the SSS-rank Devouring Beast innate talent will be several times more than those of powerhouses of the same rank.}

{Hint Prompt: Green Browns had relied on SSS-rank Devouring Beast to not only eat zombies, mutated plants, and zombie animals, but even fellow humans who had become Evolvers. Due to not being a picky eater, he had managed to let the zombie virus within his body evolve into Ruler rank, becoming a legitimate Zombie Ruler Late Stage powerhouse!}

Reading the hint prompts related to Green and Arthur’s innate talents, Zayne couldn’t help but exclaim, "Damn! I sure missed out a lot. Their innate talents are way stronger than I’ve expected."

"Moreover, this is just the SSS-rank version of their innate talent. If I can upgrade them to X-rank, it will become way stronger!"
