Multi-Gene

With brows furrowed, David asked. “You can talk?”

“Your language… is very easy to understand, but unlike humans, our vocal cords… are not as flexible as yours. W-hy… have you come here?” It’s voice was rough and sounded like two metals scraping against each other, but even then, David could understand what the tiger was saying.

Somewhat surprised, David didn’t know what to say for a while before responding. “There’s something i need from the top of your mountain, but I have this faint inkling you wouldn’t let me use it.”

“What’s an inkling? You human try….hard to make words hard for each other to understand, and for what?… Fun? If you want to have fun, play… with females, that is true fun. And no, you killed four of my precious subordinates.” It’s somewhat carefree voice changed as it continued.

“You… must die.”

David nodded his head as though in understanding. “To be honest, I see why you would want to kill me. But there’s just one tiny problem.”

The Snow-Tiger calm expression started to change as a brutal expression clouded his expression, gazing at David like a predator to its prey.𝑛𝑜𝚟𝑬𝓁𝑵𝖾xt.𝗰𝐎𝓂

“What problem?”

David chuckled slightly and Megaton appeared in his hands, blazing with golden flames around its body as it seem to melt and pierce through the void, then he responded. “You are just too weak.”

Instantly, grew an entire ten meters, the same height as the tiger ad he phased into his hybrid form. The present David was nearing 15 meters tall. All the muscles heaped on him gave his upper body a bloated, exaggerated but slimmed lined look,

Even the skin on his face had been distorted, pulled apart by his expanding muscles, just like a mask embedded in the middle of a chunk of flesh.

A black network of vein-like lines covered the skin all over his body. A crimson-red streak emerged on his back, covering the entire length of his spine completely. His eyes turned both crimson and golden and he didn’t even bother to activate his diamond body.

“DIVINE MIGHT!!!” A cold gleam flashed in his eyes as he struck with all the might he could muster.

“KA-BOOM!!!”

Struck by his blade, the golden flames detonated instantly, blasting towards the Snow-Thunder Tiger with massive force, dyeing the air in a crimson glow.

“BOOM!!!”

Massive amount of lightning pillars and red glow collided squarely with each other, exploding into smaller specks of smog and red sparks which fell on the grass and corpses of the beasts.

“Szzz szz szz szz…”

The specks of thunder and golden flames all over before landing on the trees and grasses, setting it ablaze. Instantly, the entire half a mile distance had turned into a sea of flames, accompanied by the spread of massive volumes of shockwaves.

“BAM!”

A portion of the standing trees nearby, which had been blasted into pieces by the powerful explosion earlier, came crashing down on the floor, causing the fire to rage with even greater intensity.

In the midst of the raging fire and lightning, David pushed away a heap of rubble and rose to his feet, casting his gaze at the Snow-Tiger who likewise stood a short distance away from him.

Earlier, both of them had struck at maximum power; both of them had experienced the true extent of each other’s combat power.

Their strength was both at the upper limit of the Atman realm and were evenly matched. The attack was hardly able to kill Snow-Thunder Tiger, just as the umbrella girl was unable to break apart David’s hard body defense with the lightning.

All around David, the scorching fire was kept at bay by the Scorching Fury technique cast naturally by his body. On top of that, his body had already possessed extraordinarily high heat-resistance to begin with, making him completely invulnerable to the fire.

In similar fashion, the Snow-Tiger ignored the flames entirely. A faint black substance flowed all over itd body—the power of the Atman realm , which formed a perfect defense against the heat and toxic smog.

“I’ve never seen a human like you…” The Tiger stared at David somberly. Its left claw had shriveled, charred and burnt by David’s attack.

“Now you have,” David replied calmly. The golden flames still erupting from his body like a raging storm, eager to attack once more.

“I-i… Will be back.” With that, there was a crackling sound of thunder and the entire land seem to be illuminated by that single bolt of lightning and then, the Snow-Thunder Tiger couldn’t be found any longer.

David stared blankly for a while before a flash of disappointment streaked across his face. He kept Megaton back in his inner world as he reverted back to his human form.

David headed towards the Silverback Ape and tore a piece of jelly like substance from inside its head. He stored the bodies and headed to the top of the mountain.

But much to David’s surprise, he couldn’t find anything remotely similar or a Spatial transmission mechanisms.

“Hazel, you can check yourself. I’m absolutely certain there’s nothing here!” David frowned as be argued with her.

[Perhaps it’s below?]

“It’s worth a try.” David executed Earth Swim which immediately destabilised the molecules that formed the rocks together, making it sad soft as water and instantly he sank within the mountain like a fish in water.

“There seem to be a tunnel here.” diving through the rocks, David spotted a cave within and he stopped his activation of Earth Swim, making the rocks finally stsblize.

Walkimg through the tunnel, he came across a naturally formed cave and David’s eyes lit up as he saw the gadgets installed within cave.

A circular ring large enough to fit a human was connected to a few gadgets connected with each other. But David couldn’t find the source powering it. The components appeared quite old compared with the current technology in this world and with the dust covering it like a coat, it appears it has been abandoned for a while.
