Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction - Chapter 98

When Anna left the Federal Building, a hidden door was opened in General David’s office. Only General David himself knew about this hidden space. He didn’t even tell his assistant about it.

There were various strange devices in the space. In particular, there was a creature that looked like a human embryo in a huge glass container. The embryo had almost reached maturity. Just by looking at its face, it looked very similar to Anna.

General David walked towards the glass container and looked at the embryo inside. Then, his eyes lit up with joy.

“The plan to clone Anna seems to be going smoothly. It won’t be long before a clone that is far stronger than Anna is born.”

General David turned again to another corner of the space, where a device that looked like an altar stood. It glowed faintly in the space as he knelt in front of the altar and kept talking.

“Great Savior, mankind is about to perish. I am willing to follow you and become an eternal law-enforcement officer!”

After David finished praying, the light from the altar grew dazzling. Then, a mechanism on the altar was activated, revealing a red energy body.

David stretched out his hands with a very serious expression on his face. He took the red energy body from the altar. Then, he quickly placed the energy body in his mouth and swallowed it.

As the red energy body was eaten by David, his eyes emitted a red light, as if he was absorbing a tremendous life force.

This didn’t last long. When the red light disappeared, David had finished absorbing the energy. He looked at the skin on his hands, which was more elastic and lustrous than before, and smiled in satisfaction.

“After absorbing this a few more times, the insect in my body will transform. Then, my power will surpass that of all humans!”

Later, General David deliberately looked at the embryo in the glass container before leaving.

“Anna, don’t blame me for being ruthless. After sending you to the Genetics College, I might never see you again. Your future missions will be completed by your clones!”

After returning to his office, General David received a report from his assistant. He learned that Anna had left the base city in an aircraft and was heading to the Genetics College.

…

Peter respected Anna’s choice. When he first met Anna, he did admire her talent. However, he also knew that he could not forcibly deny others of their choice. After all, everyone in this world had the right to choose.

At this time, Anna boarded the aircraft that was flying to the Genetics College. She would be able to see the God of War Peter in less than ten minutes. Anna was now feeling unusually complicated.

Anna had once wanted to stand in front of Peter as a Genetic God of War. She wanted to prove that she could still become a Genetic God of War without being nurtured by the Genetics College.

She had done it now, but she wasn’t happy about it. After all, the insect inside her made it impossible for her to forget what had happened. That damned General David had set her up and made her a puppet of the mysterious Holy War Organization.

A destination notification appeared in the aircraft. The aircraft would arrive at the parking lot of the Genetics College in a few minutes. Before boarding the aircraft, Anna had spoken to Professor Eugene of the Genetics College. She had waited for Professor Eugene’s approval before preparing to return to the Genetics College.

This was also a new scheme planned by General David. There was a very common book among the items Anna carried. The middle of the book had been hollowed out, and a dried insect was hidden inside. This was an insect that had been prepared to control the God of War Peter. Anna needed to activate it with a special potion before she saw the God of War Peter.

Anna sat in the cabin with the book containing the insect in her hand. Then, she looked out of the window at the world outside.

After her body had been parasitized by the insect, she had tried to resist it, but she had failed. She could not tolerate the torture the insect inflicted on her as the pain was terrifying.

However, this was not the end of it as General David had discovered another way to torture her. She wondered where General David had gotten the picture of her father. He also told Anna that there was a good chance her father was still alive, and that as long as she followed the orders of the Holy War Organization, she would have a chance of seeing her father again.

After learning that her father was still alive, Anna completely gave up on resisting. In order to see her father alive, she would do it without hesitation, even if it meant offending the entire human race.

“Reminder to God of War Anna that we are about to reach Parking Lot No. 4 of the Genetics College!”

“Please check the items you are carrying with you to prevent yourself from forgetting anything!”

The aircraft issued a reminder that it was about to reach the Genetics College, causing Anna’s hands to grip the book uncontrollably. In her backpack was a very small potion bottle that contained a special potion to activate the insect. Anna should have activated the insect on the aircraft. However, for some reason, she didn’t activate the insect hidden in the book until she got off the aircraft.

A team did not receive her at Parking Lot No. 4 of the Genetics College. Instead, there was only a staff member, who was responsible for miscellaneous items, waiting to lead Anna to her dormitory.

This had been specially arranged by Professor Eugene. He was angry about Anna’s choice to leave the Genetics College and join General David’s camp. Thus, he needed to vent this anger. Most importantly, the God of War Peter did not mention anything about the problem of receiving Anna in this way. This was equivalent to him tacitly agreeing to Professor Eugene’s decision.

According to the rules of the Federation, there were many complicated procedures to welcome a Genetic God of War. This was mainly because only a small number of people in the human Federation could become a Genetic God of War.

When the staff member waiting at Parking Lot No. 4 saw the God of War Anna get off the aircraft, he took the initiative to walk over and hand Anna a thick towel. After all, the late autumn night was still very cold. Moreover, this staff member did not have any grievances towards the God of War Anna. Thus, he prepared a thick towel for her in advance.

“Thank you!”

Anna reached for the towel and was about to drape it over her shoulder when the staff member saw that she was still holding a book. Thus, he reached out to touch the book, wanting to help the God of War Anna.

“No! Stop what you’re doing. I can do it myself!”

The staff member was shocked by the God of War Anna’s reaction and retracted his hand awkwardly.

“I’m sorry. I might be too tired and in a bad mood.”

Anna then realized that she had been too sensitive. If the God of War Peter or Professor Eugene were here, they might suspect that there was something unusual about the book in her hand because of her unusual behavior.

Then, they would discover the strange insect from the book. The more Anna thought about it, the more afraid she became. She didn’t want others to know the secret of the insect. However, deep down, she wished that the insect simply didn’t exist in the first place. This very contradictory thought kept tormenting her.

The staff member didn’t say anything and led the way to the single dormitory area of the Genetics College. A single room had been prepared for the God of War Anna.

When Anna followed the staff into the dormitory area, a familiar voice sounded in front of her.

“Anna, welcome home!”
