Apocalypse System: I Evolve by Devouring Everything

Zero Point Zero One Percent

"Erase trash like you from this timeline Jhonatan." Valerius shouted. His voice thundered like lightning splitting the sky. His light spear glowed brighter blinding anyone who dared to look at it.

Jhonatan spat on the asphalt his bloody face grinning wildly. "Existence? Your language is too fancy punk. Come down here. Do not just perch on top of a monster carcass. Are you afraid your golden feet will get dusty in my city?"

"Your mouth really needs to be shut Jhon." Sarah shouted from a distance. Her hands were still trembling holding the sniper rifle. "That guy's aura is no joke Jhon. Be careful."

"Shut up Sarah. Just deal with Bram's men who are still gawking." Jhonatan turned towards the remaining military soldiers. "Hey all of you. Look at your Boss. He is a vegetable now. Do you still want to be loyal to a corpse or do you want to join me?"

"Do not listen to him. Shoot. Shoot that damn mutant." one of the soldiers with a little courage left shouted.

"Shoot me? With what? A water gun?" Jhonatan stomped his foot.

[Absolute Domination Protocol Active.]

[Range 100 Meters.]

[Target 5 Humans (Military Personnel).]

[Status Motor Nerves Locked.]

In an instant the five soldiers froze. Their weapons slipped from their hands and hit the asphalt with a pathetic clatter. They tried to move but their bodies seemed nailed down by a gravity thousands of times stronger.

"W-what did you do to us Jhon?" one of the soldiers whimpered. His face turned red from the strain.

"I did not do anything. I just asked if you want to live or if you want me to make you street decorations?" Jhonatan walked towards Bram's body which was still convulsing on the ground. "System what is the condition of this Colonel?"

[Subject Bram.]

[Status Nerve Damage 98 Percent.]

[Human Consciousness Erased.]

[Suggestion Use as a Systemic Slave to control the military network.]

"Awesome. You hear that Bram? You will not die in vain. You will be the most loyal guard dog I have ever had," Jhonatan laughed coldly. He placed his hand over Bram's head. "System install Alpha Puppet Protocol. Now."

A deep purple light flowed from Jhonatan's palm seeping into Bram's eyes and ears. The colonel's limp body suddenly tensed. His bones cracked loudly elongating and hardening unnaturally.

"J-Jhon. Are you really going to make him a slave?" Emma ran closer her face pale. "That is so cruel bro."

"This world does not need mercy anymore Em. If I let him go he will come back with a nuke for us tomorrow." Jhonatan turned towards Emma his eyes flashing purple. "Do you want that to happen?"

Emma fell silent biting her lip tightly. "But still."

"Shut up Kid. Let the Boss handle it." Sarah chimed in from behind. "Look at that Golden Boy up there he is starting to heat up."

Valerius who had been watching with disgust finally moved. He jumped from the monster's carcass descending like a golden meteor. "Enough playing around. How dare you touch Federation assets right in front of my eyes."

BUM.

A golden energy explosion hit the parking area creating a large crater. Jhonatan leaped back nimbly while Bram who now stood tall with empty purple eyes blocked Valerius's attack with his bare hands.

"What? How can a human corpse block my light spear?" Valerius gasped in shock.

"I told you Bram is different now." Jhonatan smirked from behind the dust. "Bram. Show our guest here how the military greets an enemy."

Bram let out a horrifying mechanical roar. From his back black cables emerged and instantly connected to the computer system of the fallen Apache helicopter.

"Hey look. The helicopter is moving on its own." one of the survivors shouted.

The three wrecked helicopters suddenly lit up again. Their bent blades spun wildly. The muzzles of their large caliber cannons turned locking onto Valerius's position.

"Damn it. You hacked Federation technology using a corpse." Valerius panicked. He tried to fly back into the air.

"Where do you think you are going Pretty Boy?" Jhonatan dashed cutting off Valerius's flight path with his energy sword.

CLANG.

The clash of metal and energy created a shockwave that shattered all the windows in the base building.

"You are really arrogant Valerius. You come here acting all tough but all you can do is stare." Jhonatan pressed his sword harder.

"You do not know anything Jhonatan. We created that system for galactic evolution not for trash like you." Valerius growled his armor cracking slightly.

"This trash is going to make you bow punk." Jhonatan kicked Valerius's chest sending the Inquisitor flying into the building wall.

"Sarah. Now." Jhonatan shouted.

Sarah did not waste time. She pulled the trigger of her sniper rifle which she had loaded with a special bullet coated in Alpha energy.

DORRR.

The bullet hit Valerius's shoulder exploding and destroying part of his armor.

"Aaaakkhh. You damn ants." Valerius roared in pain.

"Ants? These ants are going to eat away your golden body until nothing is left." Jhonatan charged again.

Meanwhile Bram began to integrate himself with the remaining military vehicles. A tank parked at the end of the road suddenly started its engine. Its cannon turned aiming at the monsters starting to approach from the north.

"Look at that Em. Jhon is really crazy. He is controlling the entire military force by himself." Sarah muttered in disbelief.

"Not by himself Sarah. He is using Bram as his central server," Emma stared in horror at Bram who was now surrounded by cables and sparks of electricity. "Jhon he is becoming less human."

"So what if he is not human? As long as we survive right." Sarah reloaded her bullet. "Hey Jhon. The monsters are getting more numerous. Finish off that Golden Boy quickly."

"Patience Sarah. I am enjoying this moment." Jhonatan choked Valerius's neck and lifted him onto the car wreckage. "How does it feel? Does it feel good to be stepped on by trash?"

"L-let go. The Federation will not stand idly by." Valerius gasped his hand trying to reach his fallen spear.

"Your Federation is far away Val. Here there is only me." Jhonatan stared into Valerius's eyes very closely. "System absorb his armor technology. I want to know how to make cool clothes like this."

[Initiating Technology Absorption Process.]

[Absorbing Golden Energy Core.]

[Warning Energy Too Dense. Host Body Experiencing Overload.]

"I do not care. Swallow it all. ABSORB." Jhonatan shouted his body starting to emit black smoke.

Valerius's golden armor began to melt turning into particles of light that were sucked into Jhonatan's skin. Valerius screamed hysterically as his power was forcibly pulled out until his body shrunk and wrinkled.

"Do not. Please. Stop." whimpered Valerius who now only looked like a dying old man.

Jhonatan threw Valerius onto the asphalt like throwing away plastic trash. Jhonatan's body now glowed gold mixed with purple. His aura was so oppressive that the survivors behind him were forced to kneel from shortness of breath.

"Wow crazy. It feels so good. I feel like I can split the earth in two." Jhonatan cracked his neck his voice now sounding very deep and echoing.

"Jhon. Are you okay?" Sarah asked hesitantly. She did not dare to get close.

"I am more than okay Sarah. I am truly dominant now." Jhonatan turned towards the remaining military soldiers who were still frozen due to the Absolute Domination Protocol. "All of you. Look at this. Your Inquisitor is a corpse now. Do you still want to fight?"

"Mercy Boss. We will follow you. Please do not kill us." one of the soldiers shouted while prostrating.

"Good. You all are now my infantry division. Bram. Give them orders." Jhonatan instructed his systemic slave.

Bram emitted a high frequency humming sound. The communication chips in the soldiers' helmets suddenly glowed purple. They all stood up in unison their movements stiff and synchronized their eyes now having small purple dots.

"Now they are in my network. No betrayal no fear. Only absolute obedience." Jhonatan walked towards the tank which was now fully active.

"Jhon those monsters that came from the north. They are very close." Emma pointed to the sky blackened by thousands of winged monsters.

"Relax Em. I just got a new toy from Bram." Jhonatan jumped onto the tank. He patted its large cannon barrel. "System connect this cannon barrel to my Alpha energy. We will give them the most expensive fireworks in the world."

[Connecting Weapon Network.]

[Alpha Energy Conversion to Plasma Projectile 100 Percent Complete.]

[Ready to Fire.]

"Sarah Emma. Get inside the building now. This is going to be a little noisy." Jhonatan grinned widely.

"Come on Em. Let us go. Jhon wants to show off his power again." Sarah pulled Emma's hand and ran into the building lobby.

Jhonatan stood tall on the tank looking at the thousands of monsters covering the sun. He raised his hand high. "All units. Fire simultaneously. Destroy the sky."

BOOOOOOMMMMMMM.

Dozens of tanks and cannons from the hacked helicopters fired purple light shots simultaneously. The dark sky suddenly turned into a sea of purple fire that incinerated thousands of monsters in an instant. The smell of burning flesh filled the air and fragments of monster bodies fell like heavy rain.

"Hahahaha. Now this is a party." Jhonatan laughed insanely amidst the shock of the explosions.

Suddenly his system gave a new blazing red warning.

[WARNING Overlord Level Threat Detected.]

[Coordinates 500 Meters Underground.]

[Status Awakened by Energy Explosion.]

The ground under Jhonatan's tank suddenly cracked wide open. A giant hole yawned and from it emerged a hand larger than a skyscraper. The hand was made of burning rock and magma.

"What now. The problems never end." Jhonatan jumped down from the tank just before the steel vehicle was crushed by the giant hand.

"Jhon. What is that?" Emma shouted from the second floor window.

"I do not know but it seems the earth really does not like me." Jhonatan brandished his new gold purple sword. "Bram. All units focus fire on that hole. Do not let that thing come out completely."

Bram gave the command and all the heavy weapons began to bombard the giant hand. However the plasma shots that had destroyed thousands of monsters earlier now only looked like small fireworks that had no effect on the creature's stone skin.

The creature began to crawl out. Its head emerged a giant skull with sharply curved horns. Its eyes were craters of burning lava.

"System. Give me info. What is this creature?"

[Target Identified Gaia’s Wrath Ancient Guardian.]

[Level Unknown (Exceeds Sensor Capacity).]

[Suggestion Run. Chance of Winning 0.01 Percent.]

"Run? There is no word run in my dictionary punk." Jhonatan growled. He felt his body tremble not from fear but because his system was starting to resonate with the power of the ancient creature.

[Alpha Gold Synchronization 120 Percent (OVERLOAD).]

[Warning Host Body Will Disintegrate in 5 Minutes.]

"Five minutes is enough for me to turn this stone statue into gravel." Jhonatan dashed straight towards the giant creature's face.

He swung his sword creating an energy wave that split the air. "Taste this you damn Earth."

Jhonatan's sword hit the creature's forehead creating a very large explosion. However the creature did not even flinch. Instead it swung its other hand sweeping the entire parking area and Jhonatan's base.

"Watch out." Jhonatan shouted but it was too late.

The skyscraper base was hit by the giant stone fist. The lower part of the building was instantly destroyed making the entire structure start to tilt and about to collapse.

"SARAH. EMMA." Jhonatan shouted in panic. He saw the building starting to fall towards him.

In the midst of the chaos a shadow shot out from the building ruins. It was Emma but her eyes were no longer purple but a very bright pure silver. Her body floated in the air holding back thousands of tons of concrete from the building with just her mind.

"Emma. You." Jhonatan gaped.

"Jhon. I will handle the building. You handle the monster." Emma's voice echoed full of a foreign power.

"Okay. Do not die kid." Jhonatan refocused on Gaia's Wrath.

He flew higher toward the top of the creature's head. "System. Activate total destruction mode. Take all the energy from the military network. I do not care if they all die."

[Command Received.]

[Drawing Energy from 50 Military Personnel and 12 Combat Vehicles.]

[Dangerous Extraction Process Initiated.]

Below the military soldiers who were Jhonatan's slaves began to scream in pain as their life energy was forcibly pulled through the system cables. Their bodies dried up in seconds turning into terrifying mummies.

Bram himself began to emit fire from all the pores of his skin. The colonel's body exploded leaving behind a giant purple energy ball that shot towards Jhonatan's hand.

"Sorry Bram. I will remember your sacrifice." Jhonatan laughed wildly.

The power in Jhonatan's hand was now so great that the space around him began to crack and distort. His sword was no longer a sword but a black gold light spear ten meters long.

"Die you Big Rock." Jhonatan plunged the spear right into the giant creature's lava crater eye.

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

White light engulfed the entire city. The sound of the explosion was so loud that everyone still alive suddenly went deaf.

When the light faded Jhonatan was sprawled on the asphalt which had melted into lava. He gasped for breath his body cracked like ceramic about to break. In front of him the giant creature Gaia's Wrath stood frozen slowly cracking and disintegrating into grey dust.

Jhonatan tried to get up but his legs could not move. "Hah. Hah. I. I won right?"

[Mission Complete Defeat Ancient Guardian.]

[Evolution Points Gained Plus 10000.]

[Alpha Synchronization Sharply Decreasing.]

[Body Condition Total Critical.]

"Jhon. Jhonatan." Sarah ran closer her clothes tattered and her face covered in dust. She knelt beside Jhonatan. "You are crazy. You are really crazy. We almost all died."

"But I won right?" Jhonatan smirked blood flowing from his mouth.

"Yeah you won Jhon. But look." Sarah pointed to the sky.

Jhonatan looked up. Behind the dust clouds hundreds of new dimensional portals opened. This time not monsters not the Galactic Federation but thousands of black robed figures holding large scythes.

"Who are they now." Jhonatan muttered weakly.

"Those are The Reapers. The cleaning crew from the forbidden dimension," a voice was heard from behind them.

Jhonatan turned with difficulty. There stood Valerius who was somehow still alive even though his body was very fragile. He laughed a very creepy little laugh.

"You think by defeating the earth Guardian you would be free? No Jhonatan. You just rang the doorbell for those who are really hungry," Valerius said before he finally disappeared into dust.

The portals began to emit a very low humming sound that made anyone who heard it feel like their heart was about to stop. The robed figures began to descend slowly surrounding Jhonatan and Sarah.

"Sarah. Take Emma. Run." Jhonatan whispered.

"I will not leave you Jhon. We will fight them together." Sarah brandished her knife even though she knew it was futile.

One of the robed figures landed in front of Jhonatan. He had no face only pure darkness behind his hood. He raised his large scythe which glowed with a cold blue light.

"Subject Jhonatan. Your time in this simulation has ended," the figure's voice sounded like thousands of people whispering together.

Jhonatan tried to move his hand looking for remaining energy in his system.

[Energy 0.001 Percent.]

[System Shutdown in 3. 2.]

"Do not you dare turn off my system." Jhonatan growled his fading eyes trying to glare at the Reaper.

The scythe began to swing cutting the air with a deadly hiss. Jhonatan closed his eyes waiting for his death. However just before the scythe touched his neck.

STOP.

The voice was not Emma's not Sarah's. It was the voice of a woman Jhonatan knew very well but much more mature and full of authority.

The robed figure stopped. Jhonatan opened his eyes slightly. In front of him stood a woman in a long shining white dress holding a staff with the Alpha symbol at the end.

"Sienna?" Jhonatan gaped.

"No Jhon. I am not the Sienna you betrayed," the woman said turning around. Her face was identical to Sienna's but there was a small birthmark under her eye that Sienna did not have. "I am the original system developer. And I am here to."

Suddenly the earth shook violently again. A giant red laser was fired from outer space hitting right where they were standing.

Jhonatan saw the red light engulf his vision and as he tried to scream—
