Multi-Gene



The surrounding airwaves and debris scattered in all directions, finmall revealing David.

David panted heavily where floated, his breathing causing large amount of fig and smoke to appear within the atmosphere.

David's had retracted back to his human firm but he was in a more severe state. Blood flowed down the corners of his lips and a large hole could be at the surface of his chest. 

Although it was healing at a rate visible to the naked eye, it was still very slow compared to his previous regeneration speed. 

The last attack from Arnold was extremely strong, even surpassing that of a Celestial rank attack. Even if a Celestial was to receive such an attack, they would immediately be severely injured. 

Is this the power of a Cosmic genius? David couldn't help but smile bitterly. After his reincarnation, he had thought that with the ability of cells absolute control and in a world where gene was everything he would become the ultimate genius but it seems that he had only been a frog in a well

Megaton weighed heavily in his hands and David proceeded to keep it within his inner world. David felt like the inner world was muchorr easier to withdraw things from then the storage ring. 

Without further hesitation he strode forwards, daring not to use his full speed in order not to increase nor rupture his injured body. 

After a bit of struggle, he finally reaches the place where Arnold's body fragment floated about in space.

Usumg mental energy to remove the bloody blue bloody pieces that was at his front, David finally reached for a tiny ring with a green glistening jewel set at theiddle of the ring. 

A smile finally crossed across his lips as he immediately wore the ring. It was a storage space ring. With this, he could say it was enough to compensate his bad mood. 

Since the space ship had been destroyed, there was nothing else David could use to travel through space and if this situation remains for long, he would never be able to reach the competition in time to battle which in turn had wasted his entire time and energy. He woukd also have to wait a few more centuries to participate again in tbe competition, this was simply impossible for David as he couldn't determine whether he would be interested in such competitions after a century.

David knew his limits but he was well aware about his own potential! In a century, the genius meet would mean nothing to him as he would have grown beyond the level of fighting for the Cosmic No 1 genius position.

Grabbing tbe ring and placing it in his index finger, David expanded his mental energy outward towards the ring and he immediately wiped out the faint mark of consciousness present within the ring.

Just as his mental wave entered the space of the ring, David's eyes brightened!

"Star coins! So much star coins!" His heart beat couldn't help but increase slightly. This was the first time he was seeing so much money all at once. It was piled up to form a small mountain!

When David finally calmed down, he checked his other spoils of war and the noticed numerous times of treasures within the ring. They were all neatly arranged in one corner of the inner space. Chests filled with precious stones stuck together, while chest filled with herbs as well as precious ores and metals stuck together.

David was about to check through the numerous amount of food lasted in the corner when his eyes noticed something by the corner.

It was in a small chest resting silently amidst other containers within the herbs part of the inner space. 

Even then, David eyes was able to notice it as he felt a faint sense of attraction as well as familiarity from the box.

Frowning deeply, David retracted the box from the storage ring. It vanished within the inner space and it appeared in his hands.

"What exactly is this?" He muttered as he checked the chest properly. Then without hesitation he immediately opened the lid of the chest. 

Instantly, a sickening smell of blood filled the entire space of a kilometer radius. 

A brilliant crimson ray of waves emanated as it emitted the sickening smell of blood. The smell could be visible as it spread through space and even the color could be seen. 

David's eyes widened and his brows tightened as an immediate urge overcame him! 

Instantly, his expression became unstable and his body jerked on its own!

By the time David realized what was happening, his left hand had moved in its own, grabbing the stone from the chest and placing it in his mouth. 

David's expression immediately changed. He immediately regained control of his rivn and was about to put the stone back when his right hand immediately grabbed onto his right hand, preventing it from dropping it back. 

"What's happening? My cells are fighting against me?" David's eyes widened in shock before anger overcame him. 

"Pipe down!" A muscular hand cover in mucus exited his armpit, grabbing at his right to hold it down. 

But before he could do anything, another muscular hand exited his body to stop him. 

This time though, David's face darkened. He was fighting against his urge! His cells were like criminals that had been starving for a thousands years.. 

Now that they've suddenly seen food, they were immediately acting even without David's consent! The Stine was just too attractive to them that they didn't need David's permission and they wanted to devour it to get stronger! 

Even though David's original intention was to consume the stone, he was hesitant as he didn't know the origin of this blood stone.

Moreover, this blood stone seem to be the accumulation and compression of thousands if not millions of human blood joined together. How could he not be skeptical about the origin. 

Also, there was a thing called blood poison. The accumulation of various sickness and Gene defect and blood disease gave birth to blood poison. The more blood a vampire drinks, the more blood poison they get which is why vampires refused to go in a killing streak as their mind would become more muddled by this poison until eventually they become an animal that only seek to satisfy their immediate urge. Like a goat that eats and sleeps whatever and wherever. 

At his stage it was almost impossible for David to contact it. Perhaps it could be because of his special ability to perfectly control his cells. It could also be that he had never really gone on a killing spree before. 

Now, dvsid felt as though his ability was a joke. He was resisting the urge to immediately swallow the strange blood stone as there might be hidden consequences in it. 

Now that his body was fighting him for it, he was definitely right not to consume the blood stone. Ever since he came here, he could perfectly control his body as well as his cells but not it seemed like a joke. 

"BOOM!"

Space congealed into an enormous air wave that blasted away the crimson smell from his nose. Immediately, the attraction of the mysterious blood stine reduced. 

David momentarily regained control of his arms. Closing the lid of the box with no hesitation. 

"What the hell is that stone!?" David panted heavily as he growled. 

Sweat dripped down his body, soaking his robe as though he had just had a bath. 

While everything seem to have happened simply, only David knew what struggle he went to to control his cells and stop himself from swallowing the blood stone. 

His entire pupils were blood red, glowing brilliantly within the darkness of space. 

He hesitated a bit before dumping the stone within the storage ring. He didn't dare place it in his inner world. Who knows what would happen if the blood stone dropped in his inner world.

After a bit of searching, David didn't find anything related to the mysterious blood stine within Arnold's storage ring. 

To be fair, Arnold knew nothing about the Mysterious blood Stone either. His group of bandit had stolen it from a delivery cargo a few weeks back 

When he opened it, Arnold had been disgusted when he realized that the blood stone could form a river if human blood and had immediately placed in at the corner of his storage ring. He could sell it to some Demonic Adept or exchange it for something nice otherwise, he would have immediately tossed it within the expanse of space. 

After thinking for a while, David muttered to himself. "There has to be a method to absorb it otherwise, there woukd not be a need to compress this much blood. I wonder how much my Vampire body would grow if I absorb it?"

David's eyes lit up as he thought about it. The Mysterious blood stone was at least ten times more thicker than his blood core. Now, if could absorb such stone, just how powerful would become when he successful absorb the blood from the Mysterious blood stone!?
