The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 343 Unlocking a Lineage

Yordana might not have known about Genetic Coding, but she knew about people, and the fact that all those Grandmasters calmly waited for Cain to rest so they could see his next attempt told her just how impressive the young man was.

A meaningful light appeared in her eyes as she focused on Cain, and her interest just kept growing. However, unlike what one might expect from a young woman in the prime of her life, there was no romantic love in her eyes.

Yordana had already investigated Cain and knew of his relationship with the Blood Maiden of the Blood Sea. The fact that he used the excuse that he did not know much about the opposite sex to keep his distance revealed a lot, but she did not have a problem with that.

What Yordana was after was not Cainʼs love but his influence and power. He was young, but it was already clear he would become not only a powerhouse but a very influential figure in all sorts of aspects, and she wanted to establish a relationship with him soon.

ʼNo matter what, I need to pull him into the group of the Second Imperial Princess!ʼ

As countless plans crossed Yordanaʼs mind, Cain finally opened his eyes and spoke.

”The same material from before.”

Marlon and the rest of the Grandmasters were surprised to hear that since Cain would try the same Saint Genetic Formula from before. While he showed surprising improvement in the last half an hour, it would still not be enough to complete it.

Marlon knew that and was about to offer a word when he saw the resolution in the young manʼs eyes. In the end, he could only sigh since he understood that his words would be useless and would not change the young manʼs mind.

Just as the chamber was filled with the materials and the King Beast was about to be deposited, Cain acted.

”Stop!”

Cain forced the robotic claw to stop before his eyes turned toward Krane.

”What are you willing to risk to once again strive forward in your path of power?”

Utter shock appeared in the eyes of the people in the cube when they heard that since even the dumbest could understand the meaning behind Cainʼs actions. The young man asked Krane if he was willing to enter the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber and become the test subject for the Saint Genetic Formula. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

If successful, Krane would gain an impressive Lineage, but there was no way that the risk was worth it, especially since it did not seem that Cain could succeed. However, people didnʼt understand that the effect of the bloodline on Krane would be much more than just an enhanced talent.

That Lineage could replace wounded organs with wood elements, and the overflowing vitality meant it should be enough to heal his cracked Evolution Core.

Krane remained silent as he heard that offer. Cainʼs Radiance of Life would be able to heal him in the future, but that was always under the condition he was of value, and the assistance he had been providing the last week was very low.

”¿Chances?”

”80% success.”

Cain immediately replied to Kraneʼs question, making many Grandmasters frown. Based on his previous trial, the chances of success were less than 80%, and the young man should know it.

Krane noticed the reaction of the other Grandmasters. Yet, unlike them, he had been quite some time by the side of the young man and knew he would not lie to the people who put their lives in his hands.

After a lot of struggle, a flash of determination appeared in Kraneʼs eyes, and without saying a word, he jumped into the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber.

Many people wanted to say something, but Marlon glanced at them, reminding them to stay quiet. While Marlon was not happy with Cainʼs words, Krane acted of his own volition, so there was nothing to say about it, and they could only respect his decision.

Cainʼs eyes grew sharper and sharper as he blocked everything, triggering The Flow and pushing his Ego Wave to the absolute limit, but that was not everything.

ʼApex, while I work, use the [Genetic Coder Module] to suppress the genetic flaw that might arise in Kraneʼs genome. Allow some to appear, but make sure they are recessive genes incapable of causing any physical or mental disability. Use the [Hacking Tool] so no one realizes I fixed the flaws, and make them think they just never happened.ʼ

The [Genetic Coder Module] could suppress flaws at the Saint Genetic Coder level, but the price was high. That was why Cain did not use it in the first test.

ʼAre you sure? Not only will that cost a lot of Destiny Force, but leaving such minor flaws will rouse suspicion and put you in the spotlight.ʼ

Apex gave his opinion to Cain, remarking on the cost and dangers of what he was going to do.

ʼHe put his trust in me. Letʼs do it.ʼ

Cainʼs eyes burst with red light as he uttered those words, and Apex did not say anything else, limiting himself to help him, making sure no genetic flaw would remain in Krane.

Cain did not hesitate nor waste time and began to work, acting over Kraneʼs genome. Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes, an hour passed, and with every second, the shock in the hearts of the Grandmasters became more and more intense.

Marlon and the others were entirely focused on the information reaching their A.I. Chips and could barely believe what they were seeing. The number of genetic flaws that appeared in Krane was simply too minor. Some even wondered if they were getting the wrong information, but they saw how the middle-aged man just kept growing stronger, and there were no visible defective mutations on him.

The process was excruciating, but Krane did not utter a single scream. He did not want to distract Cain, and the feeling of his body growing more and more powerful and an immense source of vitality fixing his Evolution Core was more than enough to help him ignore all of it.

Krane could see how bark grew in some areas of his body, but not only were they minimal, they had an aesthetic component and only made him look even more handsome. Of course, if he were to trigger his bloodline, an incredibly thick bark would cover every centimeter of his body, better than most Gold Wave Artifacts.

After five hours, Cainʼs eyes were bloodshot, and he felt a sharp pain due to the high fever resulting from overexerting his mind, but that did not erase his smile as he had finished.

”¡BOOOM!”

A blast echoed across the cube as Krane emerged from the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber. He looked no older than thirty, and his body was full of life, but that was not even the most important thing.

What filled the man with thrill was that his Evolution Core was fully fixed, and due to the new power of his bloodline, his Essence Wave was bursting with energy as he evolved to the Late Wave King Rank!

Krane could not contain his smile, but soon, focus appeared on his eyes as he appeared in front of Cain and kneeled on the ground before performing a deep bow with his head reaching the ground.

Cain stared at the man before nodding, signaling for him to rise. The duo exchanged glances, and while no words were spoken, a tactful agreement was made between them.

Before, the relationship between Cain and Krane had been a simple transaction, but now things have evolved. Cain had given Krane the thing he wanted most in the world, and the middle-aged man was ready to return the favor, even if it meant putting his life on the line to do it.

After that, Krane moved away from Cain before using the top-tier energy inside the cube to improve his body and energy, solidifying his cultivation.

Silence reigned for a long time before people finally reacted and saw the change in the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber. Cain had unlocked a new Saint Genetic Formula, and it was one that could help to grant a mighty Lineage!

Although a powerful Lineage was far from enough to secure the birth of a new powerhouse, it was enough to grant someone willing to push themselves beyond their limit a chance to reach the peak, obtaining the power to crush mountains with their bare hands.

Marlon stared at Cain, who was recovering, with pure awe and amazement, and he was not alone since the rest of the Grandmasters felt the same. The young manʼs talent in Genetic Coding was simply too exceptional, and no one in the young generation of the Genetic Coder Association could compare with him.

Just as Marlon was about to declare Cainʼs success and give him his reward, he spoke.

”There is still an attempt, and I would like to use it.”
