The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 344 True Avernus Lineage (I)

Marlon was a little surprised by the question, but while he felt there was something more about Cainʼs inquiry than what he was revealing, there was indeed no problem with him using the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber a third time.

”You can use it, but I advise you to wait. You should come back when your Genetic Coding Abilities have reached the Grandmaster level; that way, the type of formula you will unlock might be of Divine Rank.”

All the Grandmasters that heard that slowly nodded since Marlonʼs words made perfect sense. Cain was a supreme talent by every measure, and in just a few years, he might become a Grandmaster and unlock one of the top-tier formulas stored inside the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber.

Since he already obtained the reward and significantly improved his allyʼs battle power, there was nothing wrong with waiting. After all, there was no new reward for unlocking a second Genetic Formula.

Cain glanced at Marlon and softly shook his head.

”I appreciate your advice, but I will use it now.”

Marlon could only sigh and nod as he heard Cainʼs words. Many of the Grandmasters shook their heads, thinking Cain was being too rash and wasting away his last chance.

Of course, there were also some, such as Salaman, who only displayed nasty smiles and silently looked down on Cain.

ʼHmph, stupid brat. Whatʼs the point of being so talented if you canʼt control your drive? That mentality will never allow you to reach the peak.ʼ

Salaman thought to himself as he focused on Cain with coldness. There was already significant enmity between his family and the young man, and since the latter was so talented, Salaman was more than happy to see this one making foolish mistakes.

Cain could feel the intent behind the eyes of everyone in the cube but didnʼt care. The Genetic Formula he was about to recreate was several times harder than the one that gave Krane his Lineage, so his mind had to be in peak condition, and he could not lose focus.

He consolidated the new knowledge and insights, pushing his Genetic Coding abilities to the next level before resting for a few hours. Finally, he shouted out the name of the material.

”Darkness Mountain Heart, Silent Web, Shadow Moon Core...”

Marlon and the rest of the Grandmasters were shocked as they heard the materials that Cain was asking for since they were of an extremely high level. A Genetic Formula of that tier could morph the genome of a Peak Apotheosis Realm Master.

Even though the Genetic Formula that Cain would recreate didnʼt seem to reach the Divine Rank, it wasnʼt far from it either.

However, their shock turned to complete stupefaction when they saw Cain remove his robe and jump into the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber!

”What are you doing!?”

Marlon shouted as he saw Cain jumping into the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber. The young man was actually planning to alter his own genome!

Cainʼs face was calm as he turned towards Marlon and communicated using his Ego Wave.

”I am free to choose whatever test subject I want for my trial, and I chose myself.”

Cain didnʼt wait until his skills reached a higher level because he had a perfect use for the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber right now, and that was to evolve his Avernus Lineage into its purest form.

If he were to wait to become a Wave King, the effect of such evolution on his Lineage would be minimal.

”The dangers are too high. The level of that formula is too much even for a 4-Star Saint Genetic Master.”

”I know, but I will be able to do it.”

Cainʼs eyes glowed with red light, and they had nothing but absolute confidence. Not only did he have the system to suppress the genetic flaws, but he also had a downgraded version of the True Avernus Genetic Formula, so the number of genetic modifications to his genome would be much lower.

Marlon saw the determination in Cainʼs eyes, but he couldnʼt allow such a promising youth to waste away his life like that.

He had a favorable impression of the young man from the moment they met. Despite being part of an ancient and respected lineage and among the highest-ranking nobles of the empire, the White Family had always held in the highest esteem those who sided with the military.

Marlon had antagonized Cain during the feast to rally him so they could face each other without holding back during the Genetic Tournament in a month. He never wanted to generate genuine animosity between them, but now he would have to.

Although Marlon knew that someone like Cain might not take this kind of intervention well, it was a price he was willing to pay.

”I am sorry, but this trial must...”

”Let the trial carry on!”

Before Marlon could finish his words, a booming voice emerged from the ceiling of the Genetic Evolution Cube. Everyone looked up to see a thin, bald old man in a white robe calmly descending from above.

Despite his thin body and old appearance, a bursting life force ran through his veins, and a bloodline force made those with a weak Lineage tremble.

”Father!” Marlon exclaimed, surprised to see his father appear.

Sylan White was one of the few Divine Genetic Coders in the empire, and he typically spent his days engrossed in his experiments, rarely paying attention to anything else. There were times he would spend years, if not entire decades, isolated in his laboratory. That was why Marlon was so taken aback to see him appear for a mere Genetic Trial.

Sylan nodded to his son before turning to Cain, and his expression grew sharp as he saw the bursting red light in the eyes of the young man.

”Go on. Letʼs see how far the drive of youthfulness can take you.”

Cain met the manʼs blue eyes and nodded, blocking out everything else to focus solely on the task ahead.

ʼSystem, how much Destiny Force do I have?ʼ

Before proceeding with his genetic evolution, Cain reviewed the calculations since they would play a crucial role in this evolution. Despite the help of The Flow, many genetic flaws were bound to occur, and he would need the help of the [Genetic Coder Module] to address them.

The Absolute Life Form System immediately answered Cainʼs query.

[Destiny Force: 245,870]

Before his journey into the Blood Sea, Cain had fewer than twenty thousand points, but over the past year, he had battled Titans and influenced a civil war that could have changed the destiny of an entire sector. Hence, his surge in Destiny Force wasnʼt surprising.

However, he didnʼt grow complacent. While it was true his current Destiny Force measured in the hundreds of thousands, the amount the Absolute Life Form System consumed when involved in tasks related to energy levels above the Wave King Rank was astronomical.

ʼSystem, how much did I spend fixing the flaws during Kraneʼs genetic evolution?ʼ

[91,289 points of Destiny Force were spent] Find more to read on My Virtual Library Empire

Cain had to burn over ninety thousand points to avert critical genetic flaws in Kraneʼs genome, and the True Avernus Genetic Formula was more advanced. If Cain had been the target, the cost wouldʼve been around thirty thousand since using the [Genetic Coder Module] on someone other than the Vessel costs three times more.

ʼAccording to the [A.I. Chip Module] calculations, how much will it cost to prevent serious genetic flaws during this evolution?ʼ

[According to data analyzed by the A.I. Chip Module, the Destiny Force needed will be between 140,000 to 200,000 points.]

Cain silently sighed when he saw that substantial figure. Two hundred thousand points of Destiny Force was an insane amount, and it was not like a civil war would happen every day.

However, his eyes showed no hesitation as he set to work. His Ego Wave merged with the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber, and he began his task, analyzing his genes and initiating the alteration.

The Genetic Evolution Cube was enveloped in silence as everyone intently watched Cain use the Genetic Formula to modify his genome and awaken a bloodline.

Destiny Force was burned by the second, but Cain did not even bother to track the amount as there was nothing else in his mind but the changes to his genome.

Cainʼs mind was in a state of absolute focus as he altered his genome one gene at a time, steadily pushing it to align with the True Avernus Genetic Formula. Genetic flaws arose occasionally, some incredibly dangerous, but the [Genetic Coder Module] suppressed them every time they appeared. No one knew these flaws thanks to the [A.I. Chip Module].

The only thing the Grandmasters and everyone else observed was Cain flawlessly recreating a Genetic Formula that was too complex for even a 4-Star Saint Genetic Coder!

A seventeen-year-old boy capable of performing the same type of genetic modification as a 4-Star Saint Genetic Coder. That was something so incredible that it was worthy of being a legend!
