161 New use for the module

“He really believed that children’s tale? How can someone be so stupid?”

Apex’s voice echoed inside Cain’s mind as this one used his Ego Wave to create a telepathic link between his mind and that of Simon.

Although Cain shared Apex’s wonder at Simon’s stupidity, he did not have time to relax as he focused on making sure none of the scientists noticed his invisible Ego Wave.

“I have learned a lot about this person and knew that striking his ego was the right thing to do. How is the hacking going on?”

“I am doing my best to finish it as fast as possible, but the device has high-level firewalls, so even if I am consuming your Destiny Force to enhance the module, it will still take some time.

It would have been easy if I could use brute force, but that would have alerted the old man and made all our hard work useless.” Apex knew the urgency of their situation, so he was doing his best to finish the hacking.

Cain could only internally sigh when he heard the System Spirit. He knew that a single mistake could lead to his doom and had to be patient.

‘Ahhh, I really bit off more than I could chew this time. I had the feeling that they would sacrifice those at the lower end of the guest list, but who would have thought that even those at the higher end would suffer the same fate?

Even if these people were the drags of their families, they were still n.o.bles and had fathers and elders with the might of Peak Wave Champions. Yet, the mysterious organization for which Orlando and Morgana worked did not care about inciting their rage.

.....

It was clear to Cain by this point that this mysterious organization had power that could face off even peak powerhouses like his master, Zarak.

Cain had considered sending a request for help to Zarak. Although it would have been awkward, what was a little embarra.s.sment compared with his life?

However, Apex detected a unique force field that would pick up any message sent to the outside world. That meant that if Cain wanted to get out of there, he could only depend on himself.

As he searched for a way out of his current predicament, Cain remembered how thigs started.

Everything began when Cain appeared in front of Simon and Loras. Before the duo could do anything, he hypnotized them and got into the vehicle.

The vehicle moved on its own toward Saharo City while Cain interrogated both Simon and Loras until he knew every secret of the duo.

Since the mysterious organization had plans for the scion, Cain decided to take the role of the bodyguard. It was not easy, but he managed to mimic Loras’ Astral Wave density and emulated the characteristic of the man’s cultivation technique using his superb domain over the Four Basic Wave Arts.

With everything Cain learned about Loras, killing the man was not a problem, but he did not know if the mysterious organization would find out somehow. That is why he injected a Wave Virus that led to brain death in the bodyguard while keeping the rest of the organs working.

Apex managed to hack Loras’ A.I. Chip, generating a backdoor that redirected every message or calls this one received to Cain.

The last part of the disguise was the physical one, and Cain managed to achieve it by using One Hundred Faces. He obtained the artifact during the two weeks he had of preparation after testing the limits of his battle power.

Cain made a very good judgment call by taking the role of bodyguard, but now he had to keep the useless scion alive, or else Cristian would throw him into the cauldron full of boiling blood.

Not wasting time, Cain continued using his hypnosis abilities to diminish Simon’s pain while he guided this one.

“Yes, Simon, you are unique. You have been special from the moment you were born.

Although you are facing a calamity, there is good news. If you surpa.s.s it, the hidden power inside you will finally awake!”

Simon could not stop his body from trembling as the idea of awakening his dormant power filled him with an immense thrill.

Cain noticed the state of the scion and carried on.

“Follow my guide, and you will have a one hundred percent chance of surpa.s.sing this trial, but you must do everything I say.”

‘I will, Holy Spirit!’

Simon’s reaction resembled an innocent child’s, but Cain knew the scion’s past, so he did not feel guilty for tricking this one.

“Good. Try to mobilize the bloodline through your body according to my instructions.”

Cain had not been wasting his time these past few days. He had been paying attention to every word the scientists said, learning more about this unique bloodline and how it affected people’s genomes.

Using his own Genetic Coding knowledge and the [Basic Virtual Simulation] tool, Cain came out with ways to handle the bloodline so the genetic flaws that emerge would diminish.

Of course, it was a complete lie when Cain told Simon that everything would be fine if this one followed his guidance. The scion’s genome was so full of mistakes by this point that the best Cain could do was slow things down.

Cain was doing his best, and the guidance he gave to Simon should have allowed this one to endure several more days, but the scion kept making mistakes and failing to keep up with his commands.

“Holy Child, that is not what I told you to do.”

‘I know, but I thought this could work better. It was as if the hidden force inside me was telling me to do it.’

When Cain heard Simon’s thoughts, he almost went berserker. It took everything inside him to keep calm and carry on.

“I see, don’t trust your instincts too much, Holy Child, as the hidden force inside you is still dormant and could make mistakes.”

‘Hmm, ok.’

Cain wanted nothing more than to strangulate Simon as he heard that narcissistic response, but he endured and carried on.

Despite Cain’s best efforts, the genetic flaws in Simon were gathering too fast, and he would perish at any moment. The only reason the scion had not fallen unconscious by now was Cain’s Ego Wave.

‘Useless piece of s.h.i.t. I am doing my best and exerting my mind to its limit, and you can not follow some simple instructions!’

It was very odd for Cain to lose his temper, but Simon’s stupidity drove him to the limit. He was about ready to stop blocking the pain so that this one would understand the consequences of not obeying his words.

‘We fear not G.o.d-like rivals, but pig-like team members. I finally understand what the people in the Old World meant by that. ‘

Cain took several deep breaths and regained his focus as he tried to figure out how to help Simon survive the genetic flaws.

‘Wait! Genetic flaws!’ A flash of enlightenment crossed Cain’s eyes as he remembered one of the first ordeals he faced shortly after obtaining the Absolute Life From System.

‘System, repeat to me the description of the [Genetic Coder Module].’

[Genetic Coder Module: Module meant to grant Vessel the means to control life’s fundamental building blocks.

-Tools: – Basic Genetic Stimulation

– Basic Genetic Suppression

– Basic Genetic Enhancement]

The description immediately appeared in Cain’s mind, and he focused on the second of its tools. In the past, he had intended to use [Basic Genetic Suppression] to fix the flaw of the Lightning Lupus Bloodline.

In the end, he did not do it since his willpower grew so powerful that those emotional outbursts became insignificant, so he never got the chance to use it. However, according to the description of the [Genetic Coder Module], its power did not limit itself to just his genes.

‘System, can I use the [Basic Genetic Suppression] tool on people other than myself?’

Although the answer from the Absolute Life Form System came almost instantly, as always, Cain felt that the wait was eternal since it directly impacted his chances of leaving this underground city alive.

[Vessel can use all the tools of the Genetic Coder Module on other life forms, but specific conditions need to be met.

-There must be a connection between Vessel and the target. It can be physical contact or intangible powers like an Ego Wave.

-The target must willingly accept the effect of the system’s module on their bodies. It can not be forced, and the slightest resistance will generate a failure.

Note: Use of Genetic Coder Module’s tools on people other than Vessel has a price three times higher.]

Cain did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw all that. The fact that the [Genetic Coder Module] could work with other people filled him with a sense of thrill, but the price was like a dagger to the heart.

He had always done his best to save his Destiny Force, and now he would have to waste it in garbage like Simon.

‘Ahh, whatever. I can always get more in the future, but I can not buy a new life.’
