Multi-Gene

The sound of collision echoed through the tunnel, making the metal walls tremble.

The swarm of nanobots flowed like water, merging to form a sharp sword and  clashed with the war hammer once again—both of them took large steps backward.

Whoosh.

Steam shot out from behind the Cybernator’s back, releasing the overload pressure from his implanted body. He was breathing heavily, sweating, and his already very pale cheeks became paler.𝒐𝐕𝔩xt.𝗇𝓔t

Using power required energy, but his mechanical implanted body could not generate energy. The mechanical implants gave him dynamic weapons and a harder body, so he would not die so easily. However, that came with a price—he could not last long in battle.

At this time, the mechanical implant body had damage everywhere, releasing electric flames. Stoned was very fierce and powerful, but the Cybernator was confident that he would not lose to him. However, this was not a one on one—hundreds of Pirates hid at the side and shot at him. He had to be aware of the stray bullets at all times, so a lot of energy was wasted in building the nano shield. His concentration was diverted too, and a lot of damage was caused by the other Pirates.

At the end of the tunnel behind the Cybernator was the door to the main control room. If he walked away, the main control room would be in danger, which had restricted his movements for a very large extent. He did not dare ignore Stoned and deal with the Pirate sidekicks first.

The door of the main control room was closed tightly, and all the situation outside was shown on the monitor from the surveillance cameras. Everyone in the main control room was terrified. The captain wiped his sweat, pressed on the table, and murmured, “Twelve minutes till we arrive at the security perimeter. You have to hang on!”

The intense sound of gunfire sounded again. the Cybernator could only create the shield to protect himself while Stoned grinned ferociously. Not giving the Cybernator any time to catch his breath, he pounced again and slammed the war hammer down rapidly.

The Cybernator’s eyes were filled with blood, his face was cold, and he tried to hold on. However, the Silver light shield was turning dimmer at a visible speed.

Suddenly, the metal shield burst, and the war hammer hit the left side of the Cybernator’s body without any hindrance.

Boom!

Half of the Cybernator’s body exploded. Parts splashed out like a blossoming flower, shooting onto the walls, and the oil splattered all over the ground!

the Cybernator flew out and hit the wall, but there was no pain on his face. His body was half implants, so the shattered mechanical body did not have a sense of pain. This technology was more mature and complete than what ordinary planets like the ones David had visited. Of course, it would not damage one’s life.

Suddenly, flames shot out from under his feet. He flew up, jumped over Stoned, and fled.

The reward was why he helped; his life was more important to him. Half of his body had shattered, and the situation was very critical, so he immediately fled without any hesitation. It was so rational it was almost too cold.

“This spaceship will definitely be lost. No matter what the Pirates want to do, I’m not their target. The security perimeter shouldn’t be far from here. I just have to take the emergency aircraft to escape—the Pirates will not chase me.”

Seeing that the Cybernator had fled, the captain lost all strength and plonked himself in a chair, his eyes shut in agony.

“It’s over. It’s all over.”

The Cybernator had run away, and the enemy was inches away from the main control room. What more hope was there?

Stoned suppressed his desire to chase. He remembered the main mission and brought the rest toward the main control room door.

Panic and terror spread—the people were horrified. Every step that the Pirates took, the captain’s heart sunk deeper.

This situation was already hopeless. The captain could not think of anything that would reverse the situation. He could not help but think of his wife, his kid, and his mistress back home, and his heart filled with sorrow.

As Stoned raised his massive war hammer, he could feel the heat and energy from the explosion behind him rapidly approaching. His trained warrior instincts kicked in, and he pivoted on his heel, his senses on high alert.

Suddenly, he saw it – a towering, muscular fist, covered in writhing sinews and blazing infernos. Its mere presence was enough to send shivers down Stoned’s spine.

In a split second, Stoned channeled his energy and summoned the fiery power of his hammer. The flames coalesced into a protective shield, encasing Stoned in a sphere of searing heat. With a resounding clash, the Fist collided with Stoned’s force field, sending shockwaves reverberating across the battlefield.

The fist hit right on target!

Bang!

As the Fist collided with Stoned’s fiery shield, a burst of energy erupted, causing the war hammer to transform into molten iron instantaneously. Stoned let out a guttural scream as he felt the searing heat consume him, and he was hurled across the hall.

The impact of the explosion was deafening, and the ground shook violently beneath him. As he struggled to regain his bearings, Stoned could feel the ember on his arms and chest still burning with a fierce intensity.

“What?” The captain’s expression suddenly changed.

At the other side of the tunnel, a muscular two meters tall human took back his majestic fist, glancing nonchlantly at the others as he huffed out massive amounts of smoke from his nose.

Scorching fist, enough to turn the tides of any battle as long there enough physical prowess to back it up.

“Unfortunately, the damage from the Scorching Fist was too much as its level is simply too low for my current strength but it should be more than enough to take care of these bloody pirates.” David glanced at the scene, as he said, “Looks like I’m just in time.”

Stoned struggled and stood up. He picked up the war hammer, letting it burn his hands, and stared daggers at David. “Another one! Kill him!”

Other Pirates turned around and focused fired him—bullets and arrows were everywhere. The tunnel was narrow, so there was nowhere to dodge. With one thought, David’s genes as well as his cells began to rearrange, forming and adding a different genetic structure to his previous ones.

The flesh in his forearm expanded, forming a thick and solid flesh shield. Butting his hands together, it was as though David was holding a round shaped shield before him.

Stoned spun the war hammer, not to attack David but the main control room door.

With a loud bang, the door fell, and the main control room was exposed. The people inside hastily backed away from the door, and the captain banged into a chair while going backward, falling onto the ground. He looked up at the tall Stoned with horror on his face.

Just as Stoned was about to enter the main control room, at this time, a dark red stream of light appeared between David’s eyebrows, [Mental Stab]!

Without any hesitation, David used all three psychic impacts on Stoned. David knew that since the Stone Giant blood gave him very strong physical resistance, correspondingly, his mind was his weakness.

Stoned stopped in place. The next second, thick blood shot out from his nose and mouth, and he felt like his brain had exploded. The world was spinning, and he lost control of his body, fell before the main control room door, and could not get up.

David endured being hit multiple times and dashed through the Pirates’ blockade. His biological muscles expanded as he grabbed Stoned’s braid and threw him to the other side.

Their positions had swapped. Now, David was blocking the door.

These actions had resolved the crisis of the main control room. The captain felt like he was toeing the line of life and death. He gulped nervously and said, “Are you a passenger, too?”

The captain could not express what he actually meant because he was so nervous. What he actually meant was, this mysterious warrior seemed to have even stronger combat power than the slightly renowned Cybernator, but why was he not on the passenger list earlier?

The captain had originally thought it was hopeless, but David’s appearance made him see the dawn once again.

This time, David turned around and said, “I heard you’ll pay a reward.”

Although his face was covered by squirming muscles and veins, his tone was also calm. However, due to some reason, the captain felt like he could faintly see a profiteering smile on the man’s face.

Probably my imagination…

After the disappointment from Cybernator earlier, the captain did not dare hesitate at all. He had to grab onto this life-saving rope at all costs, so he hastily exclaimed, “That’s right! I can give you a lot of money! You must stop them!”
