Chapter 124 - The Purpose of the Competition

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The competition was going to end in half an hour. The God of War Peter walked down from the stands with Professor Eugene behind him. Professor Eugene caught up to the God of War Peter when they reached a place with fewer people. He knew that the God of War Peter had something to tell him when he suddenly left.

As expected, the God of War Peter looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. Then, he turned to look at Professor Eugene.

“Professor Eugene, how’s the study of genetic memory?”

When Professor Eugene was following behind the God of War Peter, he probably guessed that his master was going to ask about this and was mentally prepared.

“Master, we still can’t transform the memories of the Thunder God genes into images. We can’t break through this technology for the time being. We can only wait until…”

He did not continue speaking. After all, the God of War Peter cared a lot about the imaging of the Thunder God genetic memory.. However, with the current level of technology in the Federation, it was impossible to break through the technical barrier in a short period of time.

Peter didn’t ask further about this. He trusted Professor Eugene unconditionally regarding the study of genetic memory. After all, he was the soul slave of an S-Grade queen insect. Thus, there would be no betrayal.

“Professor Eugene, what do you think of Donna? I’m talking about the special power in that girl’s body.”

The special power that Donna had displayed in the earlier competition had left a deep impression on Professor Eugene. This was mainly because he had always studied the power of genes. Thus, he was still very concerned about the mysterious power from the East.

“Master, if we compare the power in Donna’s body to the power obtained by the Genetic Warriors, I think the power of genes is the best choice.”

Professor Eugene had been studying genes his entire life, so it was normal for him to come up with such an answer. However, that was not what Peter wanted to hear.

“Professor Eugene, what I mean is that, have you ever thought about what kind of effect our genetic power would have if it merged with the special power in Donna’s body?”

After Peter said what he wanted to know the most, Professor Eugene, who was standing beside him, was very shocked. This bold idea had exceeded Professor Eugene’s understanding. This was no longer a problem that involved a single power system. Instead, the gap between two very different forces had to be crossed in order to fuse them together. No one had ever done this in Professor Eugene’s memories.

“Master, you can let Donna try extracting the gene-strengthening potion. However, what effects it will have will depend on the intensity of the gene-strengthening potion.”

After Professor Eugene voiced his thoughts, Peter knew what he meant. He was asking how strong the gene potion that would be given to Donna to extract would be. Ordinary gene-strengthening potions were usually extracted from mutant creatures, while the genes Peter had extracted were from the Thunder God.

“Professor Eugene, to be safe, we should use ordinary genes first. As for the Thunder God genes, we’re unable to use them for now.”

Then, Peter was about to leave when he suddenly received a message from Locke.

He carefully read the message that Locke had sent from the base city. It said that General David had successfully become the President of the Federation, and that he had issued several new rules.

Among the new rules, there was one that Peter found very interesting. General David had abolished the current system of the Federal elections and restored it to the monarchy system that had existed hundreds of years ago. This was equivalent to saying that the President of the Federation had become an ancient monarch. Furthermore, a hereditary system was in place.

General David — no, President David — had also altered the title of the Federation during his inauguration speech, changing it to the First Empire.

At the end of the message from Locke, there was a detailed list that recorded the true purpose behind David’s secret sale of the gene potion.

It turned out that David was secretly nurturing a large number of Genetic Warriors to form a powerful army of Genetic Warriors in a short period of time. Then, they would be combined with the First Empire’s elite mecha army that had been restructured. As a result, David’s rule would be even firmer.

However, Peter knew more information than Locke. He guessed that David’s goal in nurturing Genetic Warriors was not simply to form a Genetic Army. After, Peter had previously learned that the mysterious Holy War Organization was integrating the bodies of Genetic Warriors with mechas. This was the main requirement to build smart mechas.

Peter realized that he could not allow David to continue developing his rule. If he did not destroy David, the Genetics College might be taken over as well. This was the last thing he wanted.

Previously, Peter had infiltrated New York Base City to find the power that David was hiding in the dark. However, he was discovered by the cunning David in advance. Thus, he could not infiltrate New York Base City this time.

However, Peter now had a lot of power. In addition to the thousands of Genetic Warriors at the Genetics College, there were also thousands of Genetic Warriors from the Federation. When David announced the establishment of the First Empire, many Genetic Warriors in the Federation opposed him. However, they did not have a leader. At most, they simply protested.

Also, there was something else that made Peter determined to get rid of David as soon as possible. It was because of the thousands of Genetic Warriors in the Federation. He had a very bad feeling that David was about to attack the thousands of Genetic Warriors.

In addition to the Genetic Warriors, Peter also controlled the mutated beasts. After he upgraded the A-Grade queen insect to the S-Grade, the S-Grade queen insect could control several times more mutated creatures than before.

With these mutated beasts, Peter could easily break through the defense lines of the base city, which would save him a lot of time.

After Professor Eugene saw that the God of War Peter had left, he had planned to return to the laboratory and continue his study of genetic memory imaging. However, Peter called him back.

He did not know why the God of War Peter had suddenly called him back. Thus, he could only walk quickly to the God of War Peter and wait for him to issue a new order or request Professor Eugene to do something important.

Peter looked at Professor Eugene, who had come to his side, and voiced his plan and subsequent arrangements.

When Professor Eugene heard the God of War Peters’s plan, he looked unusually shocked. This was because the God of War Peter had said very clearly that he wanted to fight David.

“Master, the Genetics College has about three thousand Genetic Warriors, but most of them are very low-leveled. They haven’t even reached the C-Grade. If we want to fight General David in New York Base City…”

Professor Eugene didn’t dare to continue speaking. Instead, he narrowed his eyes at the God of War Peter.

“Professor Eugene, you shouldn’t call him General David now. You should call him Emperor.”

As Peter spoke, he played the message from Locke to Professor Eugene.

“Make the best use of your time at the Genetics College. Calculate the number of Genetic Warriors above the C-Grade first.”

After saying that, Peter ignored Professor Eugene, who was still in a daze. Instead, he quickened his pace towards the parking lot.

He wanted to go to the nest of the S-Grade queen insect first.
