Multi-Gene

Despite his arm close to being erased from his gnome, David would never accept his loss and would never give up on his arm. And as for going to the hunter family to plead with their demigod for help in exchange for the Unity technique that he used to merge his legacy technique, he would never do that.

But giving up means reaching the Atman realm in the future would be ten times more difficult, maybe even impossible.

David gritted his teeth tight and his body spasmed, twitching uncontrollably as an incredible pain surged within his brain. His eyes turned white as sweat dripped off his body. Unless he gain power close to that of a demigod, he wasn’t going to last long in this condition.

Suddenly, his eyes twitched and his nose flared. The entire ten-kilometre radius had been reduced to plain wasteland by their collision, enabling one to be able to see through the distance without much obstruction.

David turned his head to the left, from there he saw a group containing four people heading rapidly towards his direction with a sonic boom exploding from behind them.

His eyes immediately narrowed as he recognised all of them. Alan, Teela if that’s even her real name, Rutherford and Gordorf.

Boom!

Dust rose as they landed 500 meters away from David. Alan’s expression was incredibly dark as he saw the numerous spatial tears. He didn’t expect this realm to have gotten so wrecked and if he had gotten the World Orb at the beginning, he would have expelled everyone from this realm, this situation might not have happened.

All of this is David’s fault. But what was he doing? He glanced at David who was in one kneel, he couldn’t help but frown.

“Young master, he’s the one! That’s David.” Rutherford was quick to inform the young master.

“He seems to have been grievously injured. Young master do you still want the key, this realm is already too unstable and would collapse in time if we are not careful.” Gordorf could see the spatial tears increasing slowly.

“First, I must capture David for his insolence. When we get to the Palace, he will have to atone for his crimes before my father or I might just kill him here.” The young master smiled. Raising his legs, he vanished from his previous position and appeared behind David.

BANG!

David instantly moved and used his left hand to block. But he was instantly sent flying backwards by the force. Spit and blood pouring out of his mouth.

David adjusted his body in mid-air and landed stably with his hands on the ground as he drifted backwards.

Puu! Cough!! Cough!!!

Black blood was spat to the ground and David fell to one kneel again, weak in strength.

His eyes glared at the young master but there was an annoying smirk on his face. “Do you only know how to attack when your opponent is weak?”

Alan sneered. “Even in your prime, you wouldn’t be a match for me.”

He was suddenly behind David. As he clawed at his back. David twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the attack and as his left hand lanced in the ground, his left leg whipped at Alan’s neck. Alan quickly withdrew, narrowly avoiding the attack.

BANG!𝔬𝓋𝗅xt.𝒸𝚘𝚖

A massive stir surged as an invincible wind exploded from his attack and struck the ground, destroying it.

“Even your body strength is dwindling. And from what I could guess, your cells are waning which means you are unable to Phase.”

David didn’t say a word and instead remained in his upside-down position with his hand on the ground and his legs up straight in the air.

His eyes drooped ever so slowly and it looked as though he was sleeping with his entire body relaxed even the pain he was feeling couldn’t pull him out of his focus mode.

Whoosh!

David’s skin rose and his hair fluttered. His fingers shifted and his body twisted, swaying to fall to the left but then he suddenly kicked to his right.

BANG!

Alan quickly forfeited his attack and crossed his hands, blocking the attack, staggering five paces backwards.

David changed his posture, remaining still, one with the world and at peace. He knew he was only dragging his demise, but if he was going to die, it wouldn’t be from the likes of someone as cowardly as Alan.

Alan was immediately furious. He could sense David was incredibly weak and his strength waning. But he didn’t think David would still be able to retaliate from his weakened position.

He couldn’t help but admire him and also loath him. After images overlapped and sonic boom pierced through the air as he vanished.

David’s eyes squinted and his fingers moved, he suddenly shot upwards to the skies and almost immediately, the ground beneath him broke as Alan shot from within, his fist shot out towards David.

BANG!

David blocked with his left hand in mid-air but was thrown upwards uncontrollably with intense speed. His body flipped rapidly in mid-air without his control as he broke through the clouds. In the next moment, he started to descend rapidly to the ground.

With that speed, if he was to land without slowing down, with his condition he would be even more severely injured. But as he was just a meter to the ground, a pulse erupted from within him, David’s body suddenly halted in mid-air, all the kinetic energy faded like smoke and then he dropped to the ground.

David spat out another mouthful of black blood as he chuckled. He couldn’t even revolve his blood with oh getting seriously injured. His blood vessel, muscles and skin seem to be drying out.

Was this how he was going to die? David laughed.

BANG!

His body was thrown a few hundred meters away as Rutherford kicked him. “The proud David, rolling and living amongst death.”

BANG!

David’s body curled as another kick landed in his stomach, sending him another kilometre away as he rolled on the ground.

Rutherford’s smile widened. “I saw in your eyes that you wished to kill me and I must admit, I was scared of you but now, you are just another weak person crawling beneath my feet.”

Another bang and David were sent rolling to the young master’s feet. Alan’s expression turned indifferent. “Now I see why my father agreed for you to be in my team. You are incredibly strong and just a test In my path. In the end, you are just another stepping stone for me.”

Whoosh! BANG!! CLUCK!!!

Alan was about to kick once more when his legs was grabbed by David. As he was about to react. David pushed Alan’s leg, making him fall to the ground.

As he was falling, a massive rainbow descend from above, bathing Alan’s body as he immediately backed away from David, floating in mid-air.

But his eyes suddenly widened. And blood spilt out from his mouth he frowned and looked downwards, his heart had been punctured by a hand from behind, showing him how his heart pumped blood.

His eyes suddenly darkened as he lost sight, life leaving his body. Even as he died, he had no idea how David had suddenly appeared behind him.

From the air, David fell downwards but as he fell, his one hand formed hand seals and a Flying blade appeared in mid-air.

Whoosh!

Rutherford who was still in shock staggered backwards in an even greater shock! A hiltless blade could be seen jutting out from the back and from if his neck.

Rutherford was in confusion as he fell to his knees, in sync with David falling to the ground. Blood sprouted out from Rutherford’s throat like a tap and he died.

David instantaneous dropped to the ground like the dead. He had not even a single strength to withdraw his arm from Alan’s dead body.

Gordorf was immediately in shock, his expression not too far off from Teela’s. He immediately turned around and fled. Afraid that David might want to kill him to prevent him from telling anybody.

Teela gazed at David, surprised but she also turned around to follow him.

But they had no idea David was just too weak to do anything at this moment. His fighting Alan and killing Rutherford had left him even more waker than before, giving the poison more chance to infiltrate his body.

He had thought about using the technique he had developed to counter poison with poison; the destructive frequency. But the destructive frequency was immediately engulfed by poison from the demigod, increasing its effects even more. It was like they weren’t in the same class, different realms entire. Something which David understood. He was still a mortal, therefore the destructive frequency is only deadly to mortal poisons and could do nothing to poisons of higher existence.

As he was thinking of this, David’s ears twitched and he felt a presence appearing not too far from him. A familiar presence.

“Teela,” David muttered with clenched teeth. He could feel the killing intent flowing from her body.
