The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 252 : New Lineage (I)

The amount of energy he got from those Wave Artifacts was not much, but the speed with which the [Earth Fiend Flame] managed to consume all of them was shockingly fast. It made sense since the [Gluttony Module] should be at a level according to his soul force, meaning for a Wave Champion. Since that was the case, it should be easy to devour Bronze Wave Artifacts meant for Wave Warriors.

The [Earth Fiend Flame] left nothing of the more than a dozen Bronze Wave Artifacts in less than three minutes. Although they did not give much energy individually, all of them added up to a large amount.

There were many things Cain wanted to try with the [Gluttony Module], but there was something he needed to do first. Now that he had unlocked the new module, it was time to evolve the old one.

"System, evolve the [Genetic Coder Module]."

As soon as Cain gave that command, he heard the robotic voice of the system in his mind.

[The evolution of the Genetic Coder Module requires 1000 Destiny Force. Does the Vessel desire to carry on with the command?"

"¡Yes!"

[Evolving the Genetic Coder Module]

Cain once again felt a sharp pain in his mind that was soon replaced by a feeling of heaviness. Luckily, it did not last long, and he was good as new in a few seconds.

[Genetic Coder Module has evolved.

...

Proceeding to display new tools.

...

-Genetic Stimulation

-Genetic Suppression

-Genetic Enhancement]

Just like with the case of the [A.I. Chip Module]'s tools, the only difference in the name of the new ones was the lack of the word basic, but Cain knew that their power must have reached a whole new level.

Cain analyzed [Genetic Stimulation] and saw he could now evolve his Lightning Lupus Lineage to the Pseudo Wave King Level, the maximum theoretical purity, but what truly drew his attention was the [Genetic Enhancement] tool.

The previous version generated serious drawbacks that he was unwilling to accept, and he hoped the new one would be better.

"System, display the capabilities of [Genetic enhancement]."

[Displaying available genetic enhancements:

...

...

Due to the Genetic Coder Module's current capabilities, there are no adverse effects on genetic enhancement, but Vessels' current genetic map can only endure one.

For a new enhancement, there needs to be an evolution of the genetic sequence.

The projected outcomes are specific to the Lightning Lupus Bloodline. Different bloodlines will generate different outcomes as the effect on the genome will vary.

...

-Enhanced Genetic Strength: Enhance genes focused on physical strength.

Projected outcome: Increase strength by 9%.

-Enhanced Genetic Speed: Enhance genes focused on physical speed.

Projected outcome: Increase speed by 5%.

-Enhanced Genetic Vitality: Enhance genes focused on vitality.

Projected outcome: Increase vitality by 10%.]

A wide smile appeared on Cain's face as he saw what he could do with [Genetic Enhancement]. He found it hard to believe there could be an improvement in his strength, vitality, or speed of nearly 10% without any drawbacks.

The only bad news was that Cain could only endure one as a Wave Warrior and would need to become a Wave Champion to do another since his genetic sequence would evolve during those cultivation breakthroughs.

Part of Cain wanted to immediately take advantage of the tool's power and get an improvement of 10% in his vitality, but he was able to see things with a clear head. The current genetic enhancements were related to the Lightning Lupus Lineage, so there should be even better ones if he got an even stronger bloodline.

Cain's abilities had already reached the 3-Star Grand Genetic Coder level in Blade Mountain, and he felt that the evolution of the [Genetic Coder Module] improved his abilities even more. That should be enough for him to fulfill a dream he had for a very long time, the creation of a new Lineage for himself.

As for what Lineage Cain dreamed of, it was exactly the one that allowed Iris to escape from Saharo City and overwhelm an enemy that was much stronger than her less than two months ago.

Cain had studied Morgana's notes and the information gathered by Apex from the experiment done in the scions. Thanks to the [A.I. Chip Module], he already knew the Genetic Chain of the Lineage and could now create it.

There were still three weeks until someone would come to bring him to Blood Sea, and Cain planned to have his new Lineage before that.

Using the military interface, Cain brought all the material required to generate the Wave Virus. As he waited for the material to arrive at his residence, he closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Creating this Lineage would require extreme effort, so Cain needed to be in peak condition. He opened his eyes four hours later and saw that the materials were already in his room.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Cain began to work. The first thing he needed to do was the generation of a Grand Vector, and it could not be any type.

Cain needed to create a Grand Golden Vector with 0% Flaws for a Wave Virus that would engrave a bloodline in his genome. That was easier said than done since there were some 4-Star Grand Genetic Coders who had already taken a step into the Saint Genetic Coder realm and had never made one.

Cain cleansed his mind of all distractions before starting to work. He failed again and again, but his skills improved a little with each try. The hours went by, and after an entire day of working non-stop, he finally did it.

There was nothing but exhaustion on Cain's mind, but that did not erase his smile as he saw the Grand Golden Vector that had 0% Flaws.

Now came the creation of the Genetic Chain, and if the Vector were hard, this part would be near impossible.

Cain did not push through and instead chose to rest, as he needed to be at his peak if he wanted any chance of creating the Lineage's Genetic Chain.

Right before going to sleep, Cain sought to test the abilities of the [Gluttony Module]. He sent dozens of death Wave Champion Beast into the [Devourer Dimension], where the [Earth Fiend Flame] set all of them ablaze, generating streams of energy and vitality.

The speed at which the [Earth Fiend Flame] consumed them was fast, but not so fast as with the Bronze Wave Artifacts. Clearly, the higher the level of the resources, the more it would take to consume.

Cain spent 100 Destiny Force to improve the devouring speed by 100% and another 100 points so the [Earth Fiend Flame] would drive the energy and vitality into his Rebirth Heart and body. That way, he could train even if he was sleeping.

With everything in order, Cain went to sleep, and there was a relaxed expression on his face as he felt his Astral Wave and body growing stronger.

Cain slept for seven hours, a lot considering that his vitality diminished the amount of sleep his body needed. He immediately began to work on the creation of the Genetic Chain.

The Genetic Chain of that Lineage was so complicated that Cain had to buy another batch of materials. He worked entire days and only went to sleep once he felt the exhaustion was diminishing his abilities.

That carried on for one and a half weeks and more than a dozen new batches of materials. Cain was wealthy even by the standards of Wave Champions, but he burned over half of his money for this.

Nevertheless, all the effort and resources spent were worth it for Cain once he saw the perfect Genetic Chain. He managed to create it, and after combining it with the Flawless Grand Golden Vector, he obtained a Wave Virus capable of engraving a new bloodline into his genome.

"I did it!"

Cain could not help but shout as he saw the capsule with golden liquid before him. After taking a moment to calm his heart, he focused.

"System, analyze the Grand Wave Virus."

Although the Grand Wave Virus in his possession seemed to be at a level above the Wave Champion realm, he hoped that the system would be able to analyze it.

[Analyzing Grand Wave Virus.

...

...

...

...]

The analysis was taking longer than Cain expected, and just as he thought it could not be done, he heard the robotic voice in his mind.

[Analysis of Grand Wave Virus completed.

Lineage corresponds to an entity that reaches the Apotheosis Realm upon maturation.

There is a focus on strength and a disposition to the element of shadows and the force of darkness. Expected growth in all areas upon implantation.

Name of the Lineage unknown.]

Cain showed a large smile, and the trill in his heart was hard to describe. His Lineage had lagged behind lately, but now he could implant a new one whose power would enhance his power and talent.
