Multi-Gene

Back when David was still a Spryher, he had discovered the devastating might of those waves and it had help him crossed through difficult situation easily.

But not without a price. It always in one way end up destroying the tissues and the cells in his body the longer the waves stayed in his body.

Usually, he was always cautious about the quantity he produced so as to not kill himself, annihilating his body from inside out in the blink of an eye. And also, his body wasn’t nearly strong enough to withstand the destructiveness of that specific frequency of wave.

But this time, David totally threw caution to the wind as the situation was dire. He didn’t only produce a small amount of the wave this time, he oscillated every inch of his muscles at that dangerous frequency, making the miniscule amount of disastrous wave explode like a tsunami!

Every single cell in his body was being consumed at a rapid pace that could be seen if a microscope used to observe him. And as for the intruder waves that was scanning his body for his secrets, it was immediately consumed and converted without even the slightest chances of fighting back at all.

The blonde guy’s eyes widened and then squinted as a drop of blood formed at the corner of his eyes, dropping to his cheeks.

But instead of being angry, a smile formed on his lips and his eyes seem to glow in excitement. He was about to take a step forwards towards David but then, a body blocked him and said.

“Student Vathar, you’ve received your rewards, please return to your line. Or is something else the matter?” The old senior professor cut In with a smile as he asked.

Everything took a while to explain but in actuality, the event happened in the blink of an eye! The exchanging of attack and defense happened within the span of a snap of a finger. 

Vathar was reminded of where he was and he gave David a stare that seem to interpret to ‘I will find you’

But he was met with David’s stare which was so deep and unfathomable a deep killing intent radiated every single inch of his eyes but others seem to be unable to see it, only Vathar could with his ‘sharp eyes’ the meaning behind his stare. ‘Don’t let me find you’

After the rewards had all been distributed, the senior professor proceeded make some small talks and a bit of announcement and never ending advice that seem like it wouldn’t end anytime soon. 

“Hey, are you alright? You are sweating buckets here.” The second year student standing side by side with David frowned and asked. 

“I’m fine. Just the nerves, don’t worry too much about it.” David responded through clenched teeth trying to endure the massive pain shooting through every inch of his body. He immediately gulped down a mouthful of the liquid in his hand.

Roughly half an hour later, the senior professor officially ended the competition under the permission of the Grand professor. As soon as the competition ended, David didn’t even bother going back to the year one stand to celebrate with them. Neither did he go to meet the instructor like she had asked him to do. 

Instead, he stomped his feet to the ground and propelled his body to the air. Pressing on his toes, massive amount of hot air combusted out from his shoes and like a rocket, he pierced up through the atmosphere, disappearing like a phantom in the blink of an eye. Leaving most of the students that were about to congratulate him stunned.

Sweat poured in the floor like rain, dripping down from David’s body as though there was no end in sight. 

“Hmph!” David released a pained muffled groan. The pain had increased by two more times already. 

“How much time do I have left?” David asked as he flew through the air.

“Roughly two hours.” Hazel replied and her voice was shaking as though she was nervous. 

David’s expression darkened. “That little?”

“The cataclysmic waves is consuming your cells to produce more of itself. Its like a cancer, but accelerated by almost a thousand times. The reason you haven’t died is die to your super regenerative ability. Even your genetic force is being used to strengthen and produce more if its self. In two hours, your cells will be broken down and all that would be left would be the cataclysmic waves.” Hazel’s voice sounded frantic as though brain storming on what to do. 

“Have you found a solution yet?” David asked with a slight glimmer of hope which was immediately dashed as Hazel softly responded negatively. 

“The only solution I found is impossible to implement. I’m sorry, I’m still trying to come up with a another frequency you can use to counter this waves.” Hazel was beginning to sound a bit exhausted and David could notice that she was working with almost a thousand percent of her functionality, trying to help him find a solution to survive. 

This instantly put a smile on his face as he said with a whisper. “So you care about me uhn?”

“Is that what you are supposed to be thinking of right now!?” Hazel fumed in frustration but immediately ignored him and went back to work. 

“I don’t care about you. Your death will immediately put me in a difficult situation which I would very much like to ignore.” Hazel scoffed and refused to say any words as she placed all her functions on finding a solution.

A few minutes later, David opened the door to this room and he didn’t need to say before the incognito mode was activated. Locking down the entire room, from prying eyes. Signal from whatsoever place would be unable to penetrate or leave the room until the incognito mode is been deactivated. 

David sat on the ground, cross-legged and barley half a second after, another groan escaped his lips but this time, it was even more louder. He could barely endure the pain.𝑵𝑂𝒱𝖊𝑙𝑵𝑒xt.𝕔𝑜𝕞

It was as though millions of needles were pricking against very pores in his body. But that wasn’t all, as though millions of hammers were pounding on and crushing on all of the cells in his body leaving not a single one behind. 

That only barely describes how much pain he ewe feeling at the moment. 

He closed his tightly shut and oscillated his muscles, the part that weren’t twitching like crazy to move in another frequency, trying to quell the disastrous waves rampaging about in his body. 

But even after trying a dozen frequency that came to his head, they were only able to at most reduce the pain he was feeling and mostly slow down the rate of conversion from cells to wages in about a few minutes which is barely enough. 

“Have you figured out any solution yet?” David asked softly. 

“Not yet, be patient. I don’t think I can find a solution within the limited amount of time left. Except if your body can be stronger than the waves it’s self. And that’s like strengthening your body by almost ten times before your cells would be able to withstand the attacks from the cataclysmic waves.” Hazel replied with a shaky voice. 

David’s eyes opened and despair could be seen at the deep corners of his eyes. He didn’t try to activate his silver body or his strengthening techniques or even his Multi-gene as that activating them will only cause his cells to degenerate further. Activating them required the use of his cells which will immediately gradually become weak, allowing for the waves to eat them up even rapidly, so he dared not activate any technique whatsoever in other not to increase his time left in this planet. 

Suddenly, anger began to burn through David’s heart.”Is this how I’m going to die!?”

“I refuse to believe it!” he and slammed through the ground, shaking his room with a loud rumble, scattering his things in the floor. All of a sudden, he caught sight of the bix he had been given as a reward.

A glint of hope appeared in his eyes and he immediately scrambled to it without hesitation. Breathing carefully and softly, David proceeded to open his the box slowly with his heart pounding in fear. 

But then, he was immediately put back into the pit of despair as he saw the content inside the box. What was inside was a book. He didn’t even bother reading it and immediately closed back the box without hesitation in mind. 

His eyes had long since turned blood shot and his veins bulged around his body like little snakes squirming for help. He downed another mouthful of high quality blood from the elder he killed back then. 

“Nnmnnnnng!” David’s teeth clenched tightly, releasing wierd noise in the process. But then, he mistakenly knocked into a bottle that had fallen down to the floor die to his previous banging. It was then he caught si

ght of what was written on the label of the bottle.

“Body Tempering serum.”
