Multi-Gene

In the gene pool, it was all quiet and silent. There weren't any sound made from there.

With infinite DNA strands in his gene pool with the colour blue while a giant DNA strand stood at the centre with two different colours mixed together.

At first, David hadn't noticed it at the centre of his gene pool.

The giant DNA was particularly segmented into six parts but his were barely visible and seem as though they weren't at all divided.

As if they had been one since the very beginning. But in a different Phaser, every segment in that particularly giant DNA strand meant another chance to merge a gene into the DNA.

And normally, when a new Phaser had just opened his or her gene pool, there would be only one DNA segment out of the main DNA strand that would change its colour according to the gene that had been chosen.

In order words, that Phaser is considered a One gene Phaser.

Which means, when two of the segments changes its colours and merge together, that person would be considered a double-gene Phaser.

There was also one ability a Phaser would automatically gain, it's the power to faintly reshape the shape of the main DNA strand with time and practice according to the genetic structure instructed by the Genetic Map.

But David was different as with any other Legacy disciple. They had no need to swallow serums to merge with their gene because their gene map and structures had already being altered by the legacy techniques which means from the beginning as a Phaser, they were automatically a Six-gene Phaser.

The only thing they needed was just to keep practicing the legacy technique to advance in strength as their strength wouldn't be any different than a regular single gene Phaser.

The only advantage is that, they own a complete set of generic map already. Therefore, they could surprise and stun their opponents by faking as a six-gene Phaser which wouldn't work if the person had seen it coming.

Also, having five more genes in a fight, is no different than having five more arms in a battle. The one with the five arm would always win without a doubt.

Unless the opponent had been equipped with lightning fast reflexes, there aren't many who would stand toe to toe against a Legacy disciple at its infant stage not to mention at its adult's.

Legacy disciples categorise themselves using levels.

In the whole process of being a Phaser, a Legacy disciple gains three supernatural abilities apart from the normal ability that came with the gene such as Night vision, Ground drilling, echolocation and other normal abilities.

They would develop a supernatural ability at the first level while the next supernatural ability would be developed when they reached the third stage.

And the third would manifest when the sixth stage had been reached.

Seeing as he couldn't view his other abilities, David mulled for a while. In the information he had been given, only blood arrow was revealed to him to be a kind of supernatural ability which had come from his vampire side.

But he is a Multi-gene, there should have being two supernatural ability for him at the first stage. And he had seen the first ability which had revealed itself when he was almost killed.

As for the supernatural ability from his werewolf side, he hadn't seen any information regarding it as of yet.

But David want very worried about it. He could feel it developing deep within his gene, it just wasn't time yet.

As David was about to snap back into reality, he paused and gazed at the giant DNA strand with a focus.

After a few seconds of scrutinising, David smiled." I guess the Formless Heat I developed in the past didn't just disappear into nothingness."

Suddenly, as David's eyes burst open and his pupils glowed brightly. One red In colour while the left pupils hold in colour in particular contrast with his sliver skin.

As he stood up from his cross-legged position, rumbling sounds echoed from within him and the air trembled violently as though it was about to crumble to oblivion.

David stood silently for a moment, and closed his eyes. Breathing gently to have a feel for his new body. Every cell in his body cheered with joy. He could feel every pieces of flesh in his skin thrum with energy.

Suddenly, David burst into motion causing a shocking boom to ring out as the air exploded.

His speed was now at least twice as fast as it had been before. His eyes glowed with joy and he clenched his fist, slamming it into a huge boulder in front of him.

"Boom!"

The boulder instantly crumbled to dust. And nor just into large chunks of energy. The shear amount of power was in several levels than his previous strength.

David's breathing grew heavy from excitement. He immediately thought back to the fight he had with the middle-aged man. He was pretty sure if he had this though if strength back then, he wouldn't be placed in such a terrible state.

David tested his new strength for a bit before moving to test his defensive strength. He was shocked to realise it was more than three fold stronger than when he had the bronze body.

Grabbing the spear on the ground, David stabbed himself without putting much force and only using 20% of his current strength.

But he was shocked to realise he couldn't even penetrate his own skin. It was only when he used 50% of his strength was he able to draw a single white line on the skin which instantly closed up in that moment.

 David's eyes shone in excitement as he continued to test in his skin. After a while of testing, David stopped the activation of the silver body and wore his clothes proper, dressing himself quite well before leaving the forest.

There was no saying other people would come look for the two middle aged couple. With their strength, it was definitely possible, which was why he rushed to leave the forest.

"How many days has it been?" it was already noon and David navigated his way through the forest. He had found his bag where he had kept it and was leaving the forest for the site had landed when he came to this region.

He could have also searched for his sky walkers too but he didn't want to risk it. What If there was actually someone from those people's side, looking for him. He was barely able to survive the previous ordeal. He wasn't going to test his luck any further.

And although he had bought the shy walkers for a ridiculous amount of price, his life was worth more than that. But deep within him, his heart bled and it took an enormous amount of will power for him not to go back to find the Sky walker.

"It's been fifteen days since you woke up." Hazel replied him casually. She had been really silent through out and rarely did she get irritated by his questions.

"Is something bothering you?" David couldn't help but ask. Hazel was his AI anyways, if something was wrong with her, his life wouldn't be a roller coaster either as doing things by himself would be difficult.

"I- nevermind. I might have been thinking too much into things." Hazel stopped as she was about to tell him.

"Oh, alright. But you know you can just tell me, right? If anything is bothering you, it might as well be bothering me too. So, just tell me."

Hazel remained silent for a while before she responded. "Do you remember a few days ago when I said my system was interfered with by something?"

David nodded his head as a sign of agreement. "Yea, I remember. Did it leave any adverse effects on you?" He asked worriedly. There were just so many gadgets out there in the world and some of them might just be incredibly dangerous that they could corrupt the inner structure of an AI.

"No, it didn't. It's just that..." Hazel then paused as though she didn't know how to put it into words.

"It's just that what? Common Hazel, when did you suddenly be one do dramatic?" David chuckled to lighten the mood.

"The upgraded life scanner managed to ppick upa unique life signature before the system shutdown ."

David gradually grew solemn and he paused in the middle of the forest and asked "What did it read?"

"It gave the same readings a small sun would." Hazel hesitated for a moment before she spoke.

"That's impossible. It might have read wrongly." David's first instincts was to deny it. There was no way anyone had enough energy to contain a mini sun. It was virtually impossible.

"Yes, that was what I thought at first, but when I compared it to the some of the records and data I had retrieved in the past from the tattered combat suit's system... "

"What did you see?" David's breathing grew heavy as he asked.

"The previous owner of the Combat Suit had also experienced the same exact situation… It's the Werewolf King, Alpha Cain."
