"Alert! Alert! Alert!"
"An instant burst of pain will occur in five seconds! Please hold on to your consciousness!"
"Your body will begin reconstruction!"
Suddenly, few red screens appeared in front of him. Mike was startled and didn't understand the reason. But when the pain struck him, he forgot the reasoning. But until then, Claire had already activated Virtual Space.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Inside the virtual space, Mike screamed in agony. This moment became the hellish experience in his life. In an instant, the pain appeared out of nowhere and kept haunting him for thirty minutes. His body began to reconstruct.
"AHhhhhh! AHhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhh!" Mike wailed like a tortured beast. He felt his entire body was screaming with pain. The pain was crumbling his bones and muscles while reconstructing them again. Even though Mike was screaming in pain, he didn't even know the reason behind it.
After half an hour of Hellish Experience,
"Ugh!" Mike groaned after the pain slowly fades away. His eyes were tired and the entire body was extremely bloody. The Healing Lotus in his core was activated at once and started healing him. Mike didn't lose consciousness but he wasn't in the state to speak.
"Sorry Host, I didn't inform you previously. Gene modification is an advanced technology developed by humans. And the system has brought this modification to another level using higher ranking technology."
"Gene modification changes your genetic codes with other genes. Space Essence was from the essence of a Space-Time Bunny Race. It was transformed into the genetic fluid through the system. Only this way, you can balance the elements in your body."
"Normal Gene Modification developed by humans can only merge one kind of gene to a person. But with the system's technology, you can merge with countless genes. While maintaining half of the genetic codes as human, you can mutate several genes into another half."
"But, this also come with the cost of extreme pain since you are forcefully destroying your genes and also dominating other's genes. The pain degree increases by double."
Upon seeing these panels, Mike felt like smashing his head to the ground. But he didn't have enough stamina to do so. Just to bear that pain, his endurance was pushed to the limit. Finally, he closed his eyes and fell unconscious on the ground.
...
Somewhere near Ethen State
"Damn that pest! How dare he kill our sixth prince? Even if the sixth prince is trash among trashes, he still holds the title of a prince. I will skin that pest alive." A middle-aged man clenched his fist with the veins popping out of his hand and face.
He had a dark face with red scales all around his body. There was a heavy aura releasing out of his body. He was eight feet tall and had a bulky body.
The anger was spewing out of his eyes. Just when he was about to leave, another voice rang from behind "Idiot, if you don't want to spend your life in the Hell's Prison, stay where you are."
That voice was soft and filled with disdain. It was a woman who had the same features as that middle-aged man except for her busty chest with the size of a watermelon and curvy big ass.
"Woman, if you want to be like a coward then stay here. I was given the duty to protect the young master. No matter how bad his talent might be, he was still the prince. And, killing the prince is the most heinous crime of our race."
"I know there are rules set by the humanity and other races in the Universal Council. But, I don't give the damn. Isn't the universe giving them huge support because of their spirit talent? I would like to see whether supporting them is worth it."
Without waiting for her answer, the middle-aged man from Zeon Race strode away. He instantly appeared in front of Mike's house but surprisingly the busty lady also followed him.
Slowly, the middle-aged man lifted his hand and positioned his fingers to snap. But just before that, a voice rang on their ears.
"Look what I've found! Two half saints trying to kill a Soldier. Isn't it too much even for an ugly race like you?" Suddenly, a humorous voice resounded from behind. Both of them got startled and turned around.
When they saw a man standing behind them, their expression turned uglier. That man was seven feet tall with a body big as a small car. He had his trademark sunglasses, wearing shorts and an orange half-sleeved shirt.
He took out a Virtual Space Creator and took them to a virtual space. Both of them didn't show any surprising resistance thing that surprises them even more, was Mike's house.
"Wh---what are you doing here? Are you trying to break the rules?" The middle-aged man slowly took a step back with fear as he spoke. After all, the man standing in front of him was deadly strong.
"Well! Let's not talk about breaking the rules. I only came here to meet my disciple. I was genuinely surprised when his points increased so much considering his cultivation from a week ago." The man standing in front of them was none other than Mad Beast Emperor.
Half-Saint, S-Rank Innate Ability, the legend in most people's eyes, one man that can burst the moon into pieces with a single punch.
"Who is there?" Suddenly, a voice came from the house. The door opened and a young man walked out. He was holding a sword in his hand.
Lucas was awake unlike others and practicing in his room. When he heard some noise, he decided to check what was going on. But when he saw two monsters that looked just like the sixth prince, his feet froze.
"Are you Mike's friend? Can you call him out?" Mad Beast Emperor shouted, awakening Lucas from his fear. When Lucas saw the human standing in front of them, he released a deep breath and went inside.
He wasn't sure what should he do. So, he decided to call another. But upon remembering the sound from earlier, he blushed and didn't enter the room. Instead, he knocked few times from outside. Hearing his knock, Jenny and Mike opened their eyes at the same time.
When they stood up, their eyes met. Jenny was surprised to see Mike on the floor but didn't say anything. She wore her clothes and the same for Mike. They covered Sunny with a blanket and went out.
"What happened? Are you alright?" Mike was a little guilty of doing sex without meeting Lucas. After all, Lucas just lost his brother three days ago. Although Lucas seems fine, some scar takes time to fade away.
So, Mike was naturally worried about it.
"I am fine. But, we have a problem. Two monsters from that prince's race are outside. And, another man is standing in front of them. By the way, we are inside the blue space." Lucas gave a short and sweet explanation.
"Another man? Do you know how he looks?" Jenny curiously asked.
"Let's go out and meet them. It's not like we can hide forever." Although Mike was the first one to say that, he was still conflicted. He had just lost Luke. He didn't want to lose another one.
'Two monsters from Zeon Race! They must be the attendant of the sixth prince. I almost forgot that he was the prince. Fortunately, only soldiers can stay in Ethen State at this moment. But, who is another man? Is he trying to save us?'
While walking down the stairs, Mike tried to figure out the situation.
When Mike opened the door, he was shocked for a moment. When he glanced at them his expression froze. In front of him, three auras were shooting towards the sky. He had never seen something so horrible.
Just by the glance, he felt suffocating. When the middle-aged man from Zeon Race saw Mike, his hands clenched. But suddenly, the busty lady caught his hand and dragged him away, saying "We shall retreat now."
"Unfortunately no!" Just when she tried to leave, Mad Beast Emperor burst a powerful aura.
Putong! Putong!
In an instant, Lucas and Jenny fell to their knees. Mike gritted his teeth and tried to stand against the immense aura released by the Mad Beast Emperor. Suddenly, Mad Beast Emperor lifted his finger, pointed at them, and said "Wait until I finish my talk! After that, we have a lot to continue."
Only then, he walked towards Mike. But the Mad Beast Emperor instantly retracted his aura when he Mike bleeding from all over his body. He walked in front of Mike and smiled "Sorry about that! I just wanted to test you."
"Huh!" Mike looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.
'Who in the world test others like this? Are you sure you are not taking this out of me for getting your daughter's virginity?'
For a moment, he expected the Mad Beast Emperor to be Jenny or Liora's father. After all, he hasn't seen Mad Beast Emperor.
"I was shocked when your group earned over twenty thousand points in just a week. Not to mention, your group was so small. I checked your fights and found you defeated the thirteenth rank soldier while being the eighth rank soldier."
"That's why I ran from headquarter just to meet you ahead of schedule." Mad Beast Emperor started explaining his reason but his words made Mike even more confused.
He looked deeply at Mad Beast Emperor and asked "Who are you?"
Suddenly, the smile on Mad Beast Emperor froze.
