Multi-Gene

The ground trembled as though an earthquake was happening as the gates released multiple booming sounds, echoing in all directions as they divided into two and slid vertically upwards and downwards.

The dust finally settled and the crowd could finally gain insight to the gates. The entrance was entirely pitch black, like dark hole. It was entirely shaped like a dragon\'s mouth.

Frightening and terrifying. But that wasn\'t enough to hinder the determined crowds.

"Go!"

"Charge!"

"Get out of my way!"

It was hard fro say who moved first, but there was no need for anyone to say anything as the entirely crowd charged with the force of a thousand soldier towards the gate, shoving and pushing the more slower one\'s away. No one wants to be left behind as the treasure inside the hidden gates might have been ripped by another person entirely before the got there.

David was also amongst the crowd of people, but he didn\'t move the fastest, there was no saying how dangerous what was behind the gates could be. David preferled the others testing the waters first. If there\'s danger, then he would be made aware of it since others had gone in before him.

David mixed into the crowd and seeing as more than twenty percent of the five hundred people had gone into the dragon mouth shaped entrance, David finally decided it was time to make an entry.

The black hole swallowed him in a single gulp and David felt his senses getting disoriented and he felt as if he had entered through a layer extremely thick of void, passing through the multiple nodes in space as he broke through time and space as he transversed across multiple dimensions.

Noticing this feeling, David\'s eyes that had automatically closed instantly opened despite the extremely thick later of force tightly surrounding his body\'s aperture and pores. In that moment, David felt his mind blown away. He could see!

Colours of multiple planets and cosmic rays overwhelmed his senses. He was like a tiny grain of sand in this gigantic universe. The whole surrounding was a blur as his body sped through countless verses and dimensions.

David immediately fell into a daze. As though his mind had comprehended something he shouldn\'t have. A unique type of force seemingly started generating from his body. In that unique state of comprehension, David suddenly felt the imminent threat of certain death.

His eyes immediately snapped back to his senses as he checked his situation. He could see that his body which was moving at the speed of lightyears was about to approach a node in space. The node was a thin crack that is impossible to see with the naked eyes unless one has the talent for it or had seemingly comprehended a certain part of space law.

As his body was approaching the node. The speed at which he was moving was suddenly decreasing and then, multiple cracks started around the thick layer of force that was propelling and protecting him from the vicious and force in space. A human body cannot withstand being in space itself as it would immediately explode and compress into meat paste.

David was well aware of this and his heart began pounding as he saw the cracks around his protective later of invincible force continued to expand. From the speed which he was going, and from the speed at which the cracks was spreading, he would not be able to reach the node before his body is no longer protected by that force and then be exposed to space.

Then, it was just a matter of whether he would immediately explode or certain part of his body would explode first before other parts explode, increasing his pain by multiple fold, since his body was far more stronger than that of ordinary person.

Multiple thoughts crosses across his mind and with the speed of his thinking capability, thousands of scenarios passed through his head but with the probability he had calculated, there was less than 5 percent chance he would be able to survive this.

Just David was about to fall into despair, he heard a voice speak into his mind. "Your Combat suit and your Sky walker, use it now!"

It was Hazel! David didn\'t even ask why Hazel had been ignoring him for the past few months and hadn\'t spoken to him, he immediately opened up his storage ring and took out his combat suit.

Putting in the on the helmet, the Combat suit was instantly activated but that wasn\'t all, David grabbed the pair of boot and put on both boots without hesitation. Although it was extremely tough to do so with the kind of speed he was moving with, with the control of his body and with the peril of death he managed to do it.

He immediately activated the thrusters to the highest level. Multiple blasts of blue flames spewed out from the soles of the sky walker. As though that wasn\'t enough, the output of the Sky walker immediately converted. There was a massive work done by the mechanical equipment as the entire body of the two boots mechanically transformed into two huge solid gigantic rocket boosters. David had gotten this new model of Sky walker when he was about to leave the institute.

With this, David\'s speed increased explosively, but with the speed his body had been moving at previously, it was barely enough to do anything.

"Its not enough! Activate the Sacrificial Thrust! Do it now!" Hazel voice was snappy, but David wasn\'t the least bit annoyed, he immediately did as she said without hesitation.

The Sacrificial Thrust is the final mode of the Sky walker, gaining a massive amount of speed in exchange for the rapid decline in durability of the Sky walker.

Rumble!

The sky walker immediately transformed once more. David\'s two feet seem to have turned to magnets as they met each other. The skywalker released a large amount of mechanical sound as it transformed once more. Instead of there being two thrusters, the skywalker combined together to form one single large and gigantic thruster that was more than half David\'s figure. In that moment, David\'s moving speed exploded!

With this speed, it was certain he would reach the node before the force around his body explodes, but David was still feeling restless. He immediately used the highest level of Floating Wind, making his body\'s weight decrease to that of a feather\'s instantly making him thrust forwards with even more speed.

David\'s heart was finally calmed. When he gazed at the space once more, he was secretly terrified by it. There wasn\'t a single beauty in his eyes anymore. To him, the space was like a terrifying beast seeking to rip lives from people!

Finally, David could feel he was very close to node. From his calculations, he guessed he was less than 500 kilometers away from the node which was considered very near.

Suddenly, a flash of light was reflected off David\'s helmet, making David\'s close his eyes from the brightness. After a second, he opened his eyes only to see that more than a few lightyears away. There seem to be an explosion of a what seem to be like a star nearby. The eruption released massive amounts of energy that rippled through out the entire part of the space, creating a bright and luminous display of cosmic flares.

David eyes opened wide and he was immediately put in awe by its beauty. It was as though millions of colorful and bright fireworks had exploded in space. Multiple cosmic rays spread out in all directions, forming what seem to be auroras with its mystifying colours. The beauty itself was mystifying and certainly terrifying.

David was in awe but then, his expression changed drastically. "Fuck! What\'s that!?"

"It\'s the collapse of a star, supernova." Immediately, the blood drained out of David\'s face.

Although he didn\'t know much about space, he knew that the collapse of any star would immediately form a large back hole, determined by the size of the star and the gravitational force around the star. Sucking in everything around a few light years radius like an ancient devouring beast.

David\'s expression changed for the worse. Immediately this thought flashed through his mind, a pitch black small hole started to take form, right at the center of the explosion.

At first, it was the size of a human\'s head but it rapidly expanded as it sucked in a massive amount of star dust and debris making teh black hole expand even more at a terrifying pace.

"Fuck!" David immediately streamlined his body, making it easy for his body to move through space effortlessly. But that was barely enough to increase his speed.

In just about twenty seconds David has transversed tens of kilometers when a terrifying gravitational pill slowly started to build up around David, slowly attracting the little debris of meteorite around him.

As the gravitational pull wasn\'t that strong, David\'s body was barely affected by it, and he was able to move several hundreds of kilometers without being really affected. Until finally the gravitational pull around him got intense, instantly slowly down his speed!

Sweat began seeping out from David\'s forehead as he clenched his fist and hands tightly. "More, just a little bit more!"
