Next, he’ll complete the Ritual Array and bring his true form into this world. You won’t stand a chance against him… So take my advice—get someone to extract me to Earth early. Don’t be stupid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Ethan immediately thought of Nightbane. The runes he’d carved into the corpse nest back then—those must’ve been part of the Ritual Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of array could tear open the fabric of space, allowing alien entities to descend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Dr. Morgan messaged him again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So? You wanna reply to him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m busy. Not wasting my time on that clown,” Ethan said flatly, not giving a damn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll tell him exactly that,” Dr. Morgan replied, and true to form, he sent Ethan’s words back word-for-word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan had more pressing matters—he was gearing up for a fight. Time to see what a fifth-gen Cyborg with alien consciousness was really capable of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink, he vanished from where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within a chasm that looked like a bottomless abyss, Lil’ Shroom and The Snowy Owl crawled out from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Darius of the Vampire Race was still locked in combat with the Awakeners from Genesis Biotech, cursing under his breath as he fought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was undeniably powerful, taking down several of the modified humans. But their cybernetic enhancements had a nasty surprise—self-destruction protocols.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions rocked the battlefield nonstop, plunging everything into utter chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn freaks! Just die already!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darius was covered in soot and blood, his fury mounting. Even worse, the mutant virus he was so proud of—completely useless now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re leaving,” Lil’ Shroom said, scanning the battlefield. She wanted to get out before the mechanical army arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, a massive cloud of dust kicked up in the distance, a sandstorm rolling in like a tidal wave, blotting out the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the storm, sleek metallic figures emerged—tall, lean, gleaming with a cold, silver sheen. They moved with inhuman speed and precision, closing in fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading them was a strikingly handsome young man, moving so fast he blurred through space, shrinking the distance between them to just a few hundred feet in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spatial-type?” Lil’ Shroom narrowed her eyes, sensing the immense power radiating from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genesis Biotech had codenamed their fifth-gen Cyborgs “Alkaid”—a name symbolizing peak combat capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mere seconds, the Cyborg stood before them. His face was sharp and intense, but there was a flicker of excitement in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hand over the stone tablet, and I might let you live.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep dreaming,” Lil’ Shroom snapped coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That tablet was something her boss needed—she’d die before giving it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s expression darkened, his eyes turning deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then die it is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his hand, a wave of searing heat burst forth. Flames roared to life, swirling in his palm, growing hotter and brighter by the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, a massive fireball formed—like a miniature sun blazing in his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heat was so intense it cracked the ground beneath them. Even the swirling sand began to melt. Everything around them lost its color, swallowed by the blinding light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth-gen Cyborg’s power was terrifying—right at the edge of SS+ class, just a hair away from breaking through to something even more monstrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp motion, he hurled the fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it tore through the air, the ground caved in beneath it, the sky screamed, and the sheer force threatened to erase everything in its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So strong…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lil’ Shroom couldn’t even move. The attack was overwhelming—and fire was her absolute weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she could do was watch as the fireball closed in, engulfing her and The Snowy Owl in a blaze of destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion was volcanic, a violent eruption of energy that scorched everything in a thousand-foot radius. The earth was left with a massive crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lil’ Shroom—was gone. Obliterated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth-gen Cyborg’s expression twisted in confusion. Something felt off. Just as Lil’ Shroom was swallowed by the fireball, he caught a glimpse of delicate white filaments drifting through the air—mycelium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, not even a second later, another Lil’ Shroom climbed out from the pitch-black crevice, a sly smile tugging at her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you thought that was the real me? For a so-called advanced AI, you’re not much more than a glorified toaster with a bad attitude.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—!” The young man clenched his jaw, seething with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were still a pure Cyborg, maybe he would’ve detected the mimic. But now that LORN’s alien consciousness had taken over, he was burdened with emotions—human-like thoughts that clouded his judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!” he snarled, vanishing in a blur. His hand turned blade-sharp as he slashed straight for her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lil’ Shroom didn’t even flinch. Still smiling, she let him slice clean through her throat. Her head dropped, but again—no blood, no flesh. Just a puff of white mycelium dispersing into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>LORN had expected this. He didn’t even look surprised. He just turned toward the edge of the crevice, peering down, determined to find the real one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what he saw made his eyes narrow in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of figures were climbing up the dirt walls of the chasm—each one a perfect replica of Lil’ Shroom. And not just her. There were Snowy Owls too, all eerily lifelike, indistinguishable from the originals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clever little zombie…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man muttered under his breath. Even if he scanned each one individually, it would take time—and time wasn’t something he had in abundance. So he made the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill them all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his command, the mechanical army surged forward, leaping into the crevice. They opened fire, tearing through the mimics with brutal efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes glowed green, scanning every target, searching for the real Lil’ Shroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, deep inside a shadowy cave, two figures huddled in the farthest corner—two Zombie Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry,” Lil’ Shroom whispered. “They won’t find us that easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snowy Owl was trembling, feathers puffed up in fear. “But they will eventually. It’s just a matter of time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine. My boss is coming to get me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your boss?” The Snowy Owl looked at her, stunned. He knew how powerful Genesis Biotech’s Awakeners were—especially the Cyborgs. Could anyone really stand up to them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the mechanical soldiers were dropping into the chasm one after another, wiping out the mimic army with ruthless precision. The search was tightening. The Cyborgs were getting closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snowy Owl clamped his wings over his beak, not daring to make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, a squad of machines approached the mouth of the cave. Their eyes glowed, scanning every inch of the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no… they’re almost here!” The Snowy Owl’s heart pounded in his chest. If they were found, it was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—at the very back of the cave—came a faint rustling sound. Like something digging through the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snowy Owl’s eyes widened. Something was moving. Something… was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soil began to shift, crumbling away in chunks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, a head popped out of the dirt—dark-skinned, beady-eyed, with a few scraggly whiskers on his cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Mole’s here—digging you outta trouble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here’s a redemption code for everyone:\u003C\u002Fp>",1225,"2026-06-02T09:29:24.861Z",1,"novelbin.me","fbba4ba0c8b4d8d6aa8536d0585a35f806205159a46816273f5c6e78f294a21f","apocalypse-king-of-zombies-chapter-607","apocalypse-king-of-zombies-chapter-605",1329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-king-of-zombies-cover.jpg"]
