The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 341 Genetic Trial (II)

Chapter 341 Genetic Trial (II)

Cain felt the eyes of the Saint Genetic Coders on him, but he showed no reaction, maintaining a composed expression as he glanced back at Marlon. While joining the Genetic Coder a.s.sociation would bring all sorts of benefits, and he was sure his talent would be more than enough to excel, he had significant reservations about it.

Firstly, joining any organization would prompt it to investigate his past, and all sorts of problems could arise from that, beginning with how he reached such a high level in Genetic Coding without any master's guidance. If he were to reveal the events in Saharo City, that would open another Pandora's box with The Organization, and he was not willing to do that.

Not to mention, they would surely want him to focus more on his Genetic Coding than his cultivation. While it was important for Cain, and he did not take it lightly at all, Genetic Coding was just a means to an end, and in his mind, what truly mattered was brute power, one that only cultivation could grant.

Silence reigned in the cube as people watched Cain, waiting for his answer.

"Is there a third choice?"

Marlon showed a small smile as he heard that answer, knowing that Cain would not want to join the a.s.sociation.

"Yes, there is. We have something called the Genetic Trial. You can pay one million military credits to partic.i.p.ate. If you succeed, you will get a Tier 1 Bio Genetic Chamber, the type that is even useful for the genome of Apotheosis Realm Masters."

Cain was just testing his luck, but it seemed there was a way to get a top-tier Bio Genetic Chamber, which would cost him just one million military credits. However, by how the other Grandmasters looked at him, it was clear they did not expect him to succeed, so whatever that Genetic Trial was, it must be extremely difficult.

"What does the Genetic Trial involve?"

Marlon nodded as he heard that question, seeing that Cain did not lose focus due to the reward.

"If you and your friends could come to this level, I could explain better."

There was no reason for Cain, Yordana, Krane, and Samantha to refuse, so they rose to the higher level where Marlon was. Cain noticed the poisonous gaze given by Salaman, but he just stared back at the middle-aged man with pure killing intent.

Since the other party was willing to antagonize him, Cain would not contain himself and would respond with even more ferocity.

Make yourself so dangerous that the mere idea of being your enemy would inspire dread in people's hearts.

That was Cain's philosophy, one that would deter anyone from offending him. While he had not realized it yet, that was the mentality of a ruler, not a hero. Everything was so gradual that he had not realized it, but his ego was slowly growing like a sun above everything.

Once they reached Marlon's room, Cain couldn't help but be impressed by the sophisticated equipment, impressive Wave Viruses, and life forms growing in different types of Genetic Chambers. There was even a Bio Genetic Chamber among his devices.

"Lady Yordana, Colonel."

Marlon saluted the duo again now that they stood before him, and Cain and Yordana did the same, replying to the man's politeness and etiquette.

"Please, accompany me."

Marlon guided the group to the level's midpoint, where a large Bio Genetic Chamber stood above a large podium. This one was several levels above the ones sold on the first floor, and there was a ma.s.sive eye in the center of it.

"This is Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber, a living artifact with a mind of its own. It was taken by the Patriarch of the White Family thousands of years ago. While powerful, it was unruly and only accepted orders from members of the Legio Eldritch Race, so we were forced to lobotomize it."

Cain's eyes couldn't help but narrow as he focused on the Bio Genetic Chamber. He knew there were several types of Drones among the population of the Legio Eldritch Race, and this Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber must have been one of them.

As for the knowledge imparted in cla.s.s about all Drones lacking sentience, that might have been an error or purposefully taught that way to make it easy for soldiers to kill them.

Cain did not care either way. They were at war, and there were very few things he would not be willing to do to secure the survival of his race.

Marlon allowed Cain to a.n.a.lyze the Bio Genetic Chamber momentarily before continuing.

"The Genetic Trial is pretty simple. The Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber has a record of all previous recipes used on it. You can fuse your Ego Wave into the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber, access the record, and recreate one of the experiments. If you succeed, that Genetic Formula will be unlocked for all, and you will gain a Tier One Bio Genetic Chamber."

Saint Genetic Wave Viruses Formulas were not different from Saint Techniques, with their knowledge so immense that just gazing at it was far from enough to truly learn it. That was why it was so important to unlock them.

Yordana was shocked to hear that, and her eyes widened. The Genetic Trial was incredible in her mind since she was sure the Genetic Formula stored inside must be extraordinarily precious, and just gazing at them must be more than worth one million military credits.

"How many attempts do I have before being locked out of the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber?"

Unlike Yordana, who was too amazed by the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber, Cain immediately figured out the problem with such a magnificent artifact.

If there were no limits, he was sure that the Grandmaster Genetic Coders of the a.s.sociation would have long ago unlocked all the recipes inside it.

However, that was not the case, and they even allowed total strangers to access it, making it clear that they needed as many people as possible acting over the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber.

The rest of the Grandmasters focused on Cain, nodding as they observed the young man's behavior. A Genetic Coder alters the fundamental blocks of life, and for that, one must have a clear head and always look at the bigger picture, a.n.a.lyzing all factors, even the hidden ones.

Marlon was pleased as he saw the calmness in Cain's eyes, but he kept a stern face.

"You have three attempts. After that, the lobotomized Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber will adapt to your Ego Wave and lock you out."

Cain stared at the artifact for a long time before approaching the Tier Zero Genetic Chamber and taking a deep breath. He stood like that for nearly twenty minutes, but no one dared to interrupt him.

Even Salaman did not dare to disrupt Cain since the Tier Zero Genetic Chamber was a sacred artifact for the Genetic Coding a.s.sociation, and anyone who interfered in the Genetic Trial in any way would face dire consequences.

'Hmph, stupid brat. There is no way a mere commoner could unlock a recipe from that thing.'

Cain's mind peaked, and he opened his eyes, bursting with his Ego Wave as he communicated with Apex.

'Apex, make sure the full power of the [A.I. Chip Module] is on the task, as are the [Genetic Coder Module]'s scanning abilities. I will not use [Genetic Suppression] to fix flaws, but I want to know the type of effect it would have, so I need the information.'

'Consider it done. I will pause all side tasks and focus the full power of the Absolute Life Form System on it.'

Apex could feel the solemn aura in Cain's soul and did not take the task lightly. Although for him, this was nothing more than child's play, it was a fundamental step in Cain's path to the peak of Genetic Coding.

Once everything was done, Cain paid the one million military credits to the Genetic Coding a.s.sociation through the military interface. He was ready to use the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber.

Cain sent his Ego Wave into the Tier Zero Bio Genetic Chamber, and immediately, a plethora of information appeared in his mind. He saw a vast s.p.a.ce with hundreds, if not thousands, of light dots; as he focused on them, he could see small descriptions of unique Genetic Formulas.

Some were so complicated that just listing the components surpa.s.sed Cain's abilities, and even the easiest ones were hard.

Cain was not so full of himself as to try the Genetic Recipes that were meant to alter the genome of a Divine Ascendance Realm Master and focused on those that were at his current level.

Many of them caught his attention, but suddenly, a flash of shock appeared on his face since he saw a Genetic Recipe he already knew because he made it and even gave it its name.
