Multi-Gene

In the third star form, he could vaguely sense that he could use it for about 5 hours at most. And during the fourth star, he sensed he would have no problem maintaining that form for about 2 hours.

While in the fifth form, 20 minutes was the most he could do before he collapsed in exhaustion.

"Give it up, there is no way you could break this barrier. Unless you have power equal to an Integrated Phaser. There is no way to break this barrier. You just wait, until you get into my hands, you will suffer for what you have put me through.

I will skin you alive piece by piece, suck out those muscles you seem to be proud of and make you watch as I feed them to some filthy mutated road side dog." Nix said hatefully.

David didn't mind what she had said at all and stared at the barrier with a frown.

The muscles and bronze armour that encased his hands suddenly started vibrating with a unique rhythm and his heart began to beat forcefully like a turbine engine.

The heat in the surroundings increased exponential and even traces of steam began to rise from the grass.

David took a step back with his heel firmly panted to the ground. The ground instantly cracked as an enormous force was been sucked out from it. With a low roar, he instantly punched forwards

"BOOM!!!"

The surroundings quacked massively as visible dense shockwave spread out few m the point of contact.

David was also pushed a few steps backwards, the explosion effect from his exercising method had taken place, resulting into this devastating strike. It was probably his strongest move, using his fist.

Suddenly, the dust cleared and an extremely unstable force field showed. The barrier distorted massively as though a large interference was tempering with its field generator.

But after a while, it stabilised back into position.

Nix had fallen to the ground, Panting heavily. The barrier only block the physical strike, the sound wave had still hit her, causing quiet a damage to her eardrum judging from the blood dropping from her ears.

David frowned deeply this time. He had truly given it his best. Even a Phaser wouldn't dare to take that fist head on but the barrier still stood.

Ignoring the occasional curses from Nix who was still struggling to climb up, David finally muttered, "You leave me no choice then."

Nix immediately got a bad feeling and opened her mouth to talk when she heard David whispered.

"Sixth star!" David's body suddenly shrunk by a huge chunk and his previously 2.5 meters tall body strangely constricted and compressed to a 1.8 meters tall youth. This time, the bronze colour of his skin had deepened by an astonishing degree.

His body was no different from a bronze statue. It was just that, there seem to be a tinge of a silver colour appearing on the surface if his skin.

His muscles were all small but incredibly contoured. They were finely shaped and placed as though chiselled and sculptured by a famous artist.

David didn't even wait a second and a large Axe instantly formed on his outstretched palm.

Taking a step forwards, a bright arc suddenly flashed from his, through the barrier and instantly disappeared as though it was merely an illusion.

Suddenly, David coughed out mouthfuls of blood and his face turned pale as he staggered three steps backwards before falling to his knees.

His bronze body immediately reverted back to its original colour, turning from a sculpted Greek god to just a regularly fit young man in just the blink of an eye.

Hurriedly, he took a serum off his pocket and stabbed at his thighs. His eyes were blood shot as if he hadn't slept good in days.

After a moment, David took in a deep breath and he focused on Nix who was staring blankly at him.

She showed an expression of wanting to talk but was immediately interrupted by David. "Don't say anything, and don't move, you will immediately die of you do."

David's voice was serious as he said that. All of sudden, two streams of tears fell from her eyes and then to her cheeks.

David's heart softened and he steady reach to grab, not letting her body shake a bit. He wiped her tears away after a while. After all is said and done, she's just a little girl struggling to survive in this world. He sighed.

When he looked into her eyes, it was already deadly steel. Laying her gently on the ground. David didn't even touch the treasures on her.

Suddenly he frowned, the injuries he had received this time was very severe. Its even taking the Insta-Heal a quite the while to heal him.

That burst of power had torn his internal system almost pieces. His muscles had been turned into smithereens. He was even lucky to be alive right now.

He had definitely suffered a loss in this bout.

He immediately walked toward the other bloody bodies that was on the floor. After a moment of rummaging through their bodies, David expression darkened for the worse. He didn't find anything of note.

Suddenly, he focused on Nix's dead body. After a while, David only shook his head as he looked away from her. He ws going to focus his rage on someone else.

His eyes narrowed on a particular location quite far from his place. Someone had been spying on them, David had felt it since the very beginning, he just let it be since the dead don't speak anyways.

Immediately, David activated second star and his muscles and figure bulged slightly. In the next instant, he moved.

Back at where the six bodies was lying at, suddenly, a strong wind blew in that surroundings, picking up quite a storm with the leaves the dust and the sand.

All of a sudden, Nix's body was shaken by the wind and in the next instant, her body was split into two.

David's Axe strike had split her into two!
