Multi-Gene

David's eyes turned bloodshot, his teeth and his fist clenched tightly, enduring the pain from the lightning seed.

His veins on his neck popped out, crawling around his skin like snakes.

After a few seconds, David grunted and he gradually stood. His brows knitted to a frown.

"The pain is even more intense than the other times." David had no idea why this was possible.

"I need to find a way to channel the lightning to avoid affecting my body." but the only problem here was that the electricity uses his blood as a medium unless he stopped the glow of his blood from his heart to his body, there was no hope of restricting the lightning.

David frowned, his body needed blood, his muscles, veins and organs needed blood, and he himself needed blood to say alive, blood from his heart and his otter organ strengthen his body and his gene, therefore he couldn't do without blood.

Suddenly, he had an idea, but as he was about to start it, he suddenly saw Vather's body, starting to transmute.

Under David's shocked expression, Vather's entire body gradually melted and turned into a metal ball, suddenly, it released a horrific shriek and several tiny threads of metal stabbed towards David.

Astonished, David slammed his hand against the ground, his body directed backwards. His eyes popped wide opened and David's muscles shook, releasing multiple shockwaves from his feet, changing his body direction in mid-air avoiding multiple stabbed towards his skin.

BANG!

He released a massive shockwave, pushing him three hundred meters backwards.

Breathing heavily, he looked at the liquid metal at the distance that was slowly turning back into a metal ball, rolling away at an incredible speed.

"What the hell is that!? Venom in real life?" What if he had still been paralysed by the lightning, what exactly would have happened? David shivered, controlling the goosebumps he was feeling.

"Go! Catch it before it escapes!!!" Hazel's panicked voice resounded in his brain.

"Me? Ha! Forget it. I'd rather put off a fire with my fire." David scoffed as he retorted, he had never feared anything, but the sentient metal ball gave him that feeling of goosebumps, making him shiver.

"Hurry up and don't let it escape!" Hazel shouted.

"And why would I do that? If you don't explain to me?" David didn't make a move and even sat back to the ground as he meditated.

"Do you think I'm doing it for myself? If that thing escapes, you would be in a big load of trouble you fool." Hazel snapped.

"Yeah, I believe pigs can fly, just like I believe your exact words." David rolled his eyes, the ball of sliver almost out of his sight.

"You don't trust me." Hazel suddenly whispered softly. She wasn't asking a question, she was making a statement.

David sighed. "You never include me in whatever the hell you've been planning, you have remained quiet for more than half a year, making the excuse of being afraid to get caught by the old man, an insignificant Astra-realm expert, you honestly expect me to believe that?"

Hazel remained quiet for a while before responding. "I was preparing my consciousness for data transfer."

David's brow knitted slightly. "But I haven't found a body for you yet, wouldn't that be a waste since there would be data loss after a while of coupling."

"Yes, you have." Hazel's tone was mysterious, making David frown.

"I have?" confused, David thought for a while when suddenly, his eyes widened as he gazed at the fleeing metallic Orb.

"Are you messing with me? There's no how you could have predicted this exact situation would happen 7 months ago." David stood up, a serious expression on his face, shaking his head with doubt.

"Except I did. I just didn't predict what your reaction would be like." Hazel said softly.

"That meant that you knew what Vather was?"

"Yeah, I did. Can we have this conversation at a later date? The Nanobots are escaping. If this one escapes, it might be impossible to find another as good as this." Hazel pushed.

David remained silent for a while. While he didn't entirely trust her words, at least she was been honest for once.

"Fine, but I'm not touching that thing." a reluctant tone of agreement escaped his lips. The space before him warped and he appeared right on a tree, gazing at the rolling orb that was moving with the speed of sound, David clicked his tongue.

"How do I catch this thing?"

"Since my chip is on your left hand, use your left hand to touch it, I will release a frequency, rendering the nanobots helpless, you can then place it within your inner world, I will take it from there," Hazel responded.

"I've told you, I'm not going to touch that thing." David shook his head resolutely.

"I've never asked you for anything, have I? I'm only asking you this once."

David grunted reluctantly. He took a step forwards and was right before the Orb.

Startled, the metal Orb released another shriek and turned into liquid metal, numerous sharp spikes heading for David. There was no way to avoid them.

David suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind the silver ball nanobot, it was defenceless behind at this point.

David immediately touched it with his left hand, simultaneously his palm reverberated releasing a soft harmless vibration but the metal needles stretched out from the metal Orb fell helplessly to the ground as though been paralysed.

Swiftly, David placed it within his inner world. David sighed in relief.

"Thanks, I will handle things from here." Hazel truly sounded grateful.

David nodded his head and suddenly he frowned as he remembered something as things clicked.

"Wait? You can access my inner world!?" David's eyes glinted coldly.

"Yes, and so can it." Hazel replied softly.

"Wait, it? who is it?" David hoped it wasn't who he thought it was, Flint.

He quickly closed his eyes and hurriedly entered his inner world, grabbing the three storage rings he had gotten from the heaven realm expert, he sighed in relief when he saw it was still intact, Flint hadn't gotten hold of it. It was great Flint hadn't realised it yet and Hazel had told him before it could do so.

Keeping the Rings on him, David hurriedly left the place, the strain placed on his body after each teleportation was enormous.

Although his body had been strengthened incredibly, it still couldn't bear the strangulation of space for a long while.

Making his calculation, he could only teleport ten times and if he wanted to push his body past its breaking point, he could make two more teleportations.

But after that, his would surely crumble. But if he activated his strengthening technique to the highest level, which is 12 times his true strength, which meant he could teleport unlimitedly.

But David wasn't sure his body could handle the 12 stars for long without his genes crumbling in the process. His body might just explode after the first five seconds which meant that he needed to strengthen his body even more. But what better way could he strengthen his body than the Heaven grade technique with him.

"It's a pity this world is too stingy." David clicked his tongue, glancing at the sky with the corner of his eyes.

Finally, David made his third teleportation and saw a large mountain before him.

"This will do." David nodded his head. Grabbing the Megaton blade, he threw it at the peak of the mountain.

A loud rumbling sound echoed and dust rose up in the air, a deep large hole appeared right at the centre of the mountain.

David smiled softly. "This blade is truly useful." Hearing David's words of encouragement, the blade spirit almost puked out blood in anger.

He, the great and magnificent Megaton blade that could weigh twenty mountains at its lowest point and an entire planet at its peak was actually been used as some, some ground digging tool! This bastard!

Naturally, David wasn't aware of this, he leapt upwards, crossing the mountain with a single leap, reaching the peak point and he descended softly into the hole he had created.

"Eh?" David muttered, noticing the slight resistance he was feeling from the large blade but then, he ignored it and placed it within his storage ring.

Sitting in meditation, he took out large amounts of blood and placed it before him. It was finally time to fix the lightning problem.

David's idea was to create another path for the lightning to pass through which is entirely different from the path through which his main blood would flow through.

This was a very dangerous endeavour since he was experimenting very close to his heart.

There were hidden and small blood vessels connected to his heart which are not in use, he could use that to store the lightning being conducted by the blood and then release it when it was full.. It was just like creating a personal storage space for the lightning, instead of it affecting his whole body.
