Multi-Gene

The spaceship suddenly shook and got out of the light jumping state. The window at the side of the hall showed the ship closing in on a dark-gray planet. Its surface was covered with mountains, and there was not any hint of green. It was just a desolate rock, with dark and black streams formed from the dead rivers.

This was Daark Zone 5, filled with dangerous places, and this planet was one such place. Its danger level in the Godot's Star Map was 'Medium-High', which meant there was more than a forty percent chance that an investigator would die there. The evaluation of the planet David just left had the  danger evaluation in their database as only 'Low'.

As the spaceship descended into the atmosphere of the desolate planet, the engines roared loudly, causing the ground below to tremble. The ship slowed to a hover, hovering high above the mountainous terrain below. From the belly of the craft, several airdrop cabins were released, each descending towards the rocky ground with precision.

As the cabins landed, a figure emerged from the shadows, draped in a ragged white cape. The figure was tall and imposing, carrying a large bag across their chest, the sound of metal clanging as they walked towards the scanning gate.

The passenger that had just boarded at the VIP entrance was covered in a ragged white cape. The body shape under the cape was tall and large, and a big bag was hanging across his body. His footsteps were very heavy, accompanied by the clunk of metal clashing.

Coming in front of the scanning gate, this person unbuttoned their cape and showed their real face—he was shockingly half man, half machine. A very large area on his body had gone through mechanical modifications. Pipes and wires were hidden between the gaps of the armor, indication lights flashed, and only his right arm was human of his four limbs. There was no modification above his neck. He looked cold and handsome, especially his sharp eyes, which gave off an unwelcoming aura.

The eyes of this person were light green, beautiful like emeralds. His skin was very pale, and his half-machine body was full of scars from battle.

After the scan was complete, a sound came out of the broadcast. "Welcome aboard passenger. You have reserved the business cabin. Your passenger identification number is… Please enjoy your journey."

The business cabin hall was at another place. There were not as many passengers there as the economy cabin, so its environment was better and quieter.

This person had no intention of stopping. He walked past the hall and went straight back to his room, with the passengers in the hall looking at him with shock.

"Is that 'The Cybernator'?"

"That's him alright, one of the very few warriors of the Cyborg Family, high-class machine of the Mech Alliance, a very strong guy."

"How unexpected to see him here. Didn't they say they migrated?"

The people chatted among themselves and subconsciously lowered their voices. It was like they feared that person and did not want him to hear.

…

Of course, David did not know who had boarded the ship. The broadcast announced that the next stop was another star zone. There would still be a few more stops before they arrived at the Cosmic Genius gathering , but he was patient and not in a hurry.

He made use of the time to gather information from the passengers and the galactic channel on the communicator. The communicator also worked as a television. With advanced technology came psychological enjoyments—many channels were dedicated to playing all sorts of entertainment shows.

After looking at it for a while, David turned it off in silence, his eyes burning.

David's mind raced with anticipation as he contemplated the upcoming gathering. This was no ordinary assembly, but a convergence of brilliant minds from across the cosmos. The very thought of it sent a shiver down his spine, igniting his curiosity and fueling his imagination. What sort of beings would he encounter? What mind-bending concepts and technologies would be displayed by the cosmic genuises?

David didn't consider himself a genius, but he had a talent for defeating opponents who were physically stronger than him. It gave him a measure of confidence that he could face whatever challenges lay ahead. Yet, a nagging feeling in the back of his mind told him that this next obstacle would be different, more difficult than anything he had faced before. In fact, it might even be harder than his battle with the Sun Fire celestial!

He had faced dangerous enemies before, both organic and mechanical. His battles with Demigods and celestials were legendary in certain circles. But this time, he was heading into the unknown, a place where his hardwork might not be enough.

David had always been a quick thinker and an adaptive fighter, relying on his cunning and strategy to outwit his opponents. He had honed his skills through countless battles, each one a learning experience that he had taken to heart. But this time, he knew that he couldn't just rely on his instincts and natural abilities. He needed something more, something that would give him an edge in this unknown territory.

As the ship hurtled through the void of space, David meditated on what he knew about the gatthering. The information he had been given was sparse, only a few key details about the target and the potential risks. It was clear that he was being sent into a dangerous situation, one where his skills would be put to the test.

Despite his experience, David knew that he couldn't be too confident. There were too many variables at play, too many unknowns that could trip him up.

David took a deep breath and steadied himself. He had faced tough challenges before, and he had always come out on top. This time would be no different. He would use all of his skills and knowledge to overcome this next obstacle and emerge victorious.

David shook his head, getting rid of the thought and let out a rough breath. His breaths came slow and deep, each one filling his lungs with the cool, crisp air of the ship's recycled atmosphere. He felt his muscles twitching, his heartbeat racing faster and faster, as if in anticipation of what was to come. His muscles squirmed as the blood in his veins hummed as sloshed around his body like the tide of a river, his heart beat were like the  ever increasing crescendo of a battle drum, getting intense and intense.

"HUM!!!" "BZZZZ!!!"

Suddenly, a drop of thick blood fell from the blood core, mixing with his real blood.

With a sudden surge of energy, David shook slightly, feeling the raw power coursing through his veins like an electric current. The hum of his blood grew louder, drowning out all other sounds, as if he was standing in the middle of a raging storm. His muscles squirmed and writhed, responding to the primal force that now animated him.

It hadn't been long since he formed this blood core, but David was surprised how much his strength increased with the blood core. David marveled at the power coursing through his veins, the strength that came with the newly formed blood core. It was a sight to behold - a swirling vortex of crimson, pulsing with an energy that he could feel resonating throughout his entire body.

It was very different than his last blood core. The crimson colour was intensely rich and the tube of veins that connect the blood core to his heart, muscles and organs was two times thicker which meant he could burst out with more explosive strength without fear that his veins might burst during a battle.

The undulation of the blood core was stronger and even the shape wasn't round like it previously was but was beginning to gain a diamond shape. David felt it was thrice as powerful now even with how weak it was since he had just developed it. Could it be his core gets stronger the more he destroys it and reform it?

There was even an urge to destroy it but David held himself back. The battle ahead would be a very tough one, assuming he survives, destroying his blood core once more would reduce his chances even more.

As for the werewolf body and the dragon body, David had been trying to breakthrough from the Hexa-gene Phaser stage to the Atman Realm.

The work was already half done since he had scarred the runic pattern on his bones during the Evolution of the Vampire body, he just needed enough energy to develop and produce the werewolf core. Since he had an inkling of what to do, David immediately got to work.

Roughly thirty minutes had passed when David's face changed drastically as he realised things were not as simple as he had thought. The werewolf gene was actually refusing to flow through the gene path the Vampire body had taken!

Which meant he would need to create another gene path in his body to bring the werewolf gene to being!!!
