Apocalypse Rebirth: Awakened Powers from the Start

In 2035, the "Crimson Moon" descended. The zombie virus, mutated creatures, and rifts to other dimensions erupted all at once, ushering humanity into the Apocalypse Era. The male lead, Tang Yutian, was reborn three days before the apocalypse. He gained a System that let him fuse the talents, abilities, and bloodlines of his kills, allowing him to crush his enemies from the start. Tang Yutian had just led his team in wiping out the remnants of the Chaos Behemoth when the base's core crystal suddenly suffered an energy disruption, bringing the defense system to the brink of collapse. It was the first crisis since the disaster that had not been caused by an external enemy. The safe zone urgently dispatched Shen Lu, an "energy repair specialist," to help. She claimed the crystal had been contaminated by "unknown radiation" and needed to be dismantled and repaired. Though Tang Yutian sensed something off in her shifting gaze, he temporarily handed over authority and cooperated.

During the dismantling, Shen Lu stole a fragment of the crystal amid the confusion. Tang Yutian immediately tracked her with his energy sense and held his claws to her throat. The first twist revealed that Shen Lu was an undercover agent for the "Dimensional Raiders," sent to seize the crystal's energy and activate a cross-dimensional portal. Tang Yutian crushed her communicator with his bare hands and forced her to reveal that a Raider squad was already lurking on the outskirts of the base. After a thoroughly satisfying show of dominance, a new crisis followed: Shen Lu's accomplices launched a surprise attack, and more than a dozen "mechanical fusion warriors" smashed through the base gates. Their weapons could absorb supernatural energy.
