Multi-Gene

David's figure phased and he turned into a blur only to appear right before the Silverback Ape.Â

Although slightly surprised by David's speed, the Silverback Ape wasn't shocked and it sneered instead. The muscles in its legs trembled as they hummed like the engine of a powerful machine. They suddenly inflated, growing twice their size as they stomped in the ground, making the ground shatter as though it was made of glass.

In that moment, he seem to have matched David's speed as they met right in the middle of the field. They let out another punch striking towards each other and as the attack was about to land, David's suddenly let out a smirk and his body turned translucent as the fist touched his own fist, turning his body into flints of starlight as they faded into thin air.Â

That was only a clone, but had slipped past the shocked Ape's defenses and his hands suddenly elongated as thick clean claws grew from his fingers. David stabbed his sharp claw at the exposed ribs of the Ape.Â

The Ape was immediately shocked and was quick to react and it activated one of its abilities in haste.Â

The Silver-back Ape's entire body immediately turned silver in colour, his defenses instantly soared, increasing three times his previous defense using this ability, but what shocked it was that his Silver-Coat ability was only able to stop David's claws for half a second before they shattered into pieces as the claws dig deep into him, reaching for his heart.Â

The Ape's eyes was filled with terror and fear, and desperately wanted to flee immediately, but he wasn't so fast to react as the entire thing had happened in the blink of an eye

"Whoosh!"

David was just about to reach for the heart and yank it out when his ears twitched and he suddenly heard a great sound of thunder, moving closer to him.

David's expression darkened slightly. An attack which might prove dangerous was coming his way. If he didn't retreat and proceeds to rip out the SilverBack heart, he would undoubtedly be attacked and then injured in the process. But if he retreated, he avoids getting injured, but the Silverback Ape would be alive and killing it again would prove more difficult for him as it may flee in fear of its life and right now David doesn't have the luxury to pursue the Ape since his time was running out.

Therefore, David decided to risk it. He phased to his werewolf form and activated Diamond Body at the exact same time. Just as he grasped the heart of the Silverback Ape and gripped it. Dabid saw the tiger moving in mid-air as it seem to have transformed into thunder itself, crackling through the air and reaching for David like a lightning bolt. An enormous force ripped air apart and landed directly at the back of David's head. At the last minute, several diamond bones grew from his shoulder blades, forming down sort of barrier at his skull to protect his brain.Â

"BAM!!!"

Like a ragdoll, David was tossed with force that could rival ten missles combined. The hair on his head stood as lightning crackled within them, his entire skin absolutely pitch place and the back of his head was a tiny hole that appeared to be in the shape of a lightning bolt smoked on his hair.

David finally stablized himself on the air, stomping heavily in midair as he crested massive shockwaves to counter the kinetic force that was rampaging about his body.

Suddenly, there was another crackling sound of thunder and a faint shape of a massive tiger seem to be visible within the bolt of lightning.

David crossed his hands in the last second but the attack suddenly changed directions and struck at his chest

"KA-BOOM!!!"

David took ten heavy steps backwards as he staggered, causing holes in the ground. His entire face was flushed red as the circulation of his blood was being disrupted by the lightning energy invading his body.

"What reaction speed!" David's pupils constricted and he turned incredibly serious. This Snow-thunder Tiger's reaction speed was too unreal! With the speed to its attack, it should have been impossible to change direction so fast with increasing velocity involved but this Beast seem to be an exception.

David's body suddenly split into three as they scattered in all directions. David rapidly switched amongst his clones like flickering light, keeping the snow-thunder tiger even more confused.

"ROOOOOOAR!!!"

An infuriated roar shattered across space as the sound waves rippled through the air for tens of kilometers and as they touched upon his clones, the two clones vibrated and then flickered before vanishing into multiple stars of fireflies.Â

David was shocked, but he had expected something like this to happen and was prepared for his plan to fail. He was well aware that the beast wasn't an ordinary one and his clones might just turn out to be useless against it.

Roughly twelve kilometers belew the massive mountion, David gazed cautiously at the Snow-thunder Tiger who started circling around him menacingly. Its magestic waves roiling off it like a stench mixed with an insatiable anger, which was obvious by the thunder crackling intensely around its skin.

David kept his focus to the top of the mountain and then whispered. "Are you sure it at the top kf the mountain?"

[Yes, the spatial waves detected originates from the top of the mountain. But it doesn't seem to be fully activated yet, you might have to do that yourself.]

Hearing Hazel's words, David's smile widened slightly and he seem to have forgetten about the Tiger when Infact his divine sense was locked onto the energy waves roiling off the Tiger. Such a dangerous entity wouldn't be so easily dealt with.

"W-why you come here… human?" David was instantly dumbfounded and it was as though he had heard wrongly. Was the Tiger actually talking?

He knew there was a stage where animals would be able to act like humans at some point, but he didn't expect the Snow-thunder Tiger to have reached such level yet.Â
