Multi-Gene

“Boom!!”

Golden flame and black lightning clashed.

David’s two arms and wings were holding the knife, fanatically clashing with Vourde in a fluid motion.

Vourde was surrounded with arcs of black lightning. Vast amounts of electricity sparked on his body, enclosing it like nets.

The two had been exchanging moves while remaining in a stalemate for a while now.

Vourde had been getting unsatisfactory results. He’d even activated dark thunder to increase his reflexes and speed, but to no avail. At this point, it was a matter of who had better endurance and resilience.

But as the king of this land, it was the first time he had to fight someone for this long. Plus, his body was way too big: every move required a vast amount of energy.

He had always crushed opponent with sheer strength before, but this one…

Vourde rapidly blocked David’s attacks. Under the shock wave caused by the two, the surrounding mountains shook and collapsed. Every second, parts of the mountains would split and fall off, making the space flatter and flatter .

Vourde surveyed his surroundings, and immediately landed behind David. He noticed that there were somehow two wings growing on David’s back. He was quite amazed by the blades that grew from wings, and now there seem to be two more wings growing!

Through the tumor, he could vaguely see two more wings.

He, of course, didn’t know that these were David’s new talent. It just didn’t have enough time to develop before, and David needed time to adapt to the new body after evolving it with massive amount genetic energy.

Vourde sensed his situation was dire: if he was only able to keep even in the fight now, against two more wings, he could be in danger.

At this moment, while he was distracted by David’s back, David saw an opportunity.

One black rusty knife penetrated his defense, landing on his neck with a booming sound.

“Snap!! Boom!!”

The rusty blade exploded in an instant. The explosion made Vourde lose his balance and fall backward.

David’s 10-meter-tall body with two arms and tow sharp blade like wings spun. Fist, palm, sword, and knife—four different types of attack flew towards Vourdelike hurricane.

Vourde was forced to retreat step after step. He let out an angry roar, but still could do nothing to improve his situation.

“Damn you!!” he roared, blocking constantly. The lightning surrounding his body had been battered and broken to the point where it didn’t serve any defensive purpose anymore.

David forced Vourde to retreat, all four of his arms rapidly controlling golden flames to form four knife-like edges.

Every time he struck, a long edge swooped down with golden glow.

The giant knife edge of at least 10 meters created a giant blood-red wound every time it connected, completely ignoring Vourde’s scales like they didn’t even exist.

The surroundings shook. Huge boulders fell onto the ground. Everything that fell near the battle zone instantly shattered into dust.

But suddenly, David’s attack suddenly paused as his divine senses transmitted images of the spatial teleportation cave into his brain.

David’s arm finally stopped moving for a brief moment. Even though it was only an instant, but in this level of battle, an instant was enough to twist the whole fight around.

“Restricting Seals!” Vourde retreated rapidly, quite mad at the fact that he couldn’t compete in sheer strength against David. Yet there was nothing he could do. Seeing this opportunity, his heart leapt, and he spat out a giant pale white skeleton hand. The hand flew out and slammed heavily into David’s chest.

“Bam!!!”

With immense momentum, Vourde didn’t even turn his head to look at the result before turning the opposite direction and fleeing.

He flew back, his huge body merging into the stone wall as if it were liquid.

All of this happened in an instant. Before David could react, Vourde escaped.

As David recovered, he realized he was alone.

He silently dropped his knife.

“Boom!!”

Four giant sharp gleams slammed into a wall mountain nearby, shattering countless rocks.

“Damn it!!!” He was one second away from killing Vourde and absorbing his gene Essence. Who would’ve thought that news from the Spatial mountain would distract him briefly and let Vourde escape.

“No matter who you are, you are going to die!!” David roared as he picked back Megaton, turning towards the far mountain a few hundred kilometers away.

“AHAHAHAHA! A greater teleportation array! Who would have thought there would still be one within this place?! I, the Dragon King I’m truly lucky” The Dragon King, laughed maniacally, fanatically striding slowly towards the mechanism in the tunnel. Ignoring Hazel as though she was a mere ant in his eyes that he wouldn’t be bothered to talk to.

Even though the top three great families had their own teleportation device, it was only meant for objects without life and a limited amount of mass to pass through. It was otherwise impossibly for a living organism to enter through the teleportation device. Even an ant would be killed and destroyed before it could reach its destination. Therefore the device was only meant to trade resources with the Outworld. Never in his life would the Dragon King have expected to have found a Greater Teleportation Device so far within the beast territory.

This could be what they considered goodluck! In fact, the idea of killing David seem to have been swept to the corner of his mind as he focused on the device before him.

Seeing the Dragon King coming closer to the teleportation device, Hazel stood up quietly and her beautiful eyebrows frowned as she glances at the man in dragon scale robes.

“You shouldn’t be here.” she said with a knitted brow.

Finally, the dragon King seem to have taken notice of her. His eyes suddenly flashed and he chuckled “An AI with a body constructed from nanobots? Interesting. Are you from the Outland?”

“Why do you ask?”

“Those from the outland sees our method of cultivation as primitive and instead use nanobots for their cultivation. Since creating a clone from flesh and blood is easier not as rare as nanobots, I can only assume you chose that because you disdain our method of cultivation.” The Dragon King stated at her as he made his speculation.
