Multi-Gene

Chapter 132 - Ghastra



Ghastra was previously a human with no a human with no talent to speak of. His genetic module or map was weak and had no room for growth.

Hence, he wasn't chosen by any institution. And although the government snatches the 16 year old kids from each family in a stronghold, they still had to pass through the testing process.

Although not much, some people genetic make up are weak, which means they would also be rejected by the institute. If the institute still accepted them despite that fact and still insist on performing the operation of the Xenograft, the genetic map would collapse which would undoubtedly mean death.

Ghastra had been unwilling to let go of such an opportunity and the desperation and ambitions he had finally led him into directly consuming a blood orb.

Turning him into what he was right now. A mutant, but that was better since he preferred to be a king in this desolate land rather than being a mediocre person in the federation.

In only a few years, he had grown very strong, strong enough to rule this part of the ruined city or forest as one might have it.

Right now, he was extremely close to breaking through to the next stage and the amount of radiation his body could contain would increase exponentially.

Increasing his strength to a greater height. But to do so, he needed a potent blood of strong Phasers and a massive amount of radiation to assist him in the proceed of advancing.

On a normal circumstance, as soon as the institute scanned through the area and notice a lifeform with a radiation level of 100 Rds or higher, the institute will instantly set up a mission for its senior students for a clean up.

Since it the location was to be used as a testing ground for the new students. They took quite the precaution to ensure the safety of the students.

But Ghastra had been very lucky to find a secret room that was roughly built using Void Metals. That was how he escaped the Institute's prying eyes.

Of course there are other equipment whose waves could penetrate Void metals.

It was just that according to calculations and speculations, it was impossible for a location like this to own even the tiniest bit of Void metals even in their prosperous moments because of how expensive they were.

Ghastra had and was supposed to still be in hiding but he had came out of his shell this time because of the intel he had collected from his, subordinates of a female student with a very intense bloodline.

How could he miss this rare opportunity of collecting such precious material especially in this point in time when he needed to advance.

He had been very happy when he got the report and here he was, trying to capture her when another student whose bloodline seem vague but contains an even more terrifying might.

He couldn't help but think that it was a scheme pulled by the institute to force him out of hiding.

He immediately retreated a few steps backwards, surveying his surroundings carefully.

It was only when he was really sure they were the only ones in that part of the forest did he glance back at David and Lyster.

His eye was cold as ice but the greed within them, he was unable to conceal.

Chuckling sinisterly "Interesting. I didn't expect to meet two people with such thick blood."

Lyster leaned had her back to the tree as she breathed roughly. One of her hands was covered in blood but her face was expressionless as she glared intently at the mutants in front of her.

But immediately David intruded on the scene, her breathing grew weaker for a split second and her face seem to contain an expression of frowning but it suddenly vanished in an instant as though it was never there.

Ignoring the Ghastra's words. Lyster spoke. "Why are you here?" her voice was cold as ice, seemingly with no emotions at all and if one were to gauge, it was even colder than the mutant's voice.

David immediately felt the fire burning in his body quench a little, but soon he regained his bearing. He knew things weren't going to be easy with the girl and he replied.

"I heard the distressed voice of a lady and I wouldn't be a true gentleman if I ignored it." David raised his head as he stared straight into her beautiful eyes.

Lyster paused for a while as she indifferently glanced back at him, holding his gaze her stare held for more than a second this time before she retracted her gaze.

Seeing as he was being ignored by the two, Ghastra didn't get angry, he chucked lightly instead. They were his prey already and already in his palms, he was sure they would be unable to escape him.

So, there was no need to get angry at their antics, it was a bit comical to him instead.

But he had no time to waste, as staying out in the open was a risk in itself. He would never allow himself to be captured or killed. And he didn't want to make too much of a ruckus in order not to expose himself.

Ghastra violently shouted "Enough! No matter how talented you are in the institute, its all useless here." He stared menacingly at the two student and he continued in a somewhat soft tone.

"If you give up now, I will make sure you to give you an honourable death otherwise, do not blame me for being wicked." Ghastra said.

David responded with a smirk when he heard those words.

"There is word going round the institute that humans with extremely low level of talent stupidly chose to became mutated because of their greed for power. You obviously wouldn't be able to reach the next stage before your DNA helix collapse into pieces." David laughed slightly.

"Although I do not know how you got this strong, sadly, you wouldn't be able to advance anyway so why don't you help me help you end your sad and miserable life." David shook is head softly.

And he continued "I assure you, it will be quite painless.." His soft voice rang through the air but the fury and evil glow contained in his eyes rapidly grew stronger by the minute.
