CHAPTER 11: THE SHURA AND THE SPIRIT

"A genius has finally risen from his family," Vice said as he laughed while holding the hands of a guy who looked like he was in his eighteens with silvery hair and silvery eyeballs. He looked at the guy with immense joy on his face. The guy is Laurel Martinez, the one Wallace fought the day he first awakened.

Due to some unknown circumstances revolving around the DNA he absorbed from Wallace, more specifically the reason Wallace's body was able to produce primal energy influenced his brain allowing him to awaken his alpha region which in turn allowed him to undergo another mutation where his body was destroyed and the energy from the geno-spirit and the unique energy his alpha region produce combined is the only influence that formed his body allowing his to form a rare spiritual body, it also modified his cells turning his organ into silver and also his skeleton also undergo mutation becoming silver. A mutation of its kind in the whole universe. His two eyeballs are now special having a unique ability.

"I did not expect you to survive that destruction and also awaken your omega region, it has been said that only the dead can awaken those" Vice said surprised.

"You are the first person to awaken it," He said. The whole family was called back including Laurel's two older brothers, his father, his mother, and those who make important decisions in the main branch of the family to celebrate the successful awakening of Laurel. Everyone fawned over Vice telling him how the family is going to quickly rise above other families and become an important vessel in the Dark Fury. Vice was just beaming happily the whole day. He could picture himself gaining a lot of respect and recognition during the genius meet that would happen a year later. Later that evening when everyone already left, Laurel went to meet Vice.

"Grandpa I want to leave this planet for the main time and go somewhere I can train my strength for a year," He told Vice.

"That will be nice, with your new strength, you should be unrivaled in the evolver stage and no divine realm expert should be able to kill you," Vice said.

"I have someplace for you to go, it's a place you can train this year," Vice said.

"Thanks, Grandpa" He smiled.

"I will arrange for you to move in five days because the place is special, it's one of the planets we've just conquered but it's vastly different from the other ones and your brothers will also be following you. They will be your follower" Vice said gratified.

***********************************

Earlier that morning

Wallace and Floret are in one of the training rooms of Vincenzo's house.

"Stop resisting the dark energies in your body again," She told him. He stopped resisting those dark energies and immediately he was taken over. The dark heart started to beat vigorously in his body and the dark energy took over him, it quickly rushed towards his soul to contaminate it so that it could have full control over the body but it stopped because it felt a dangerous aura from the outside world.

"Bang" Wallace's body was smacked away. He knocked into the sturdy walls of the training room and his bones broke in many places. He started to heal but it would take some time Floret was already rushing towards him with overflowing killing intent. The dark energies that were going to contaminate his soul before quickly reversed, four shadow beings emerged from his shadow and surrounded him, they fused into his body while the space in the training room turned dark like all light around the area had been devoured.

"Good," Floret said as she arrived in front of Wallace and smacked him away again.

"Bang, bang" Wallace was smacked around the training room for ten minutes, and the feeling of death came over him. He is feeling the threat of death and he must do something about it. He regained slight control of his consciousness, Floret stopped when she felt it.

"Focus on the dark heart, you will see a dark face there, the orb is sentient and it is trying to take control of your body. It's the dark will, you should focus on devouring it" She told him. He saw the ominous face and slowly allowed his consciousness to surround the face. The face corroded it immediately and he lost control.

"Bang" Another round of beating started again and it continued for some minutes until he regained slight control of his consciousness. These continued for a day, with Floret beating him uncountable times until his consciousness was strong enough again to start contending against the dark face. It is not taking control of his body again, he then starts to devour it little by little turning it into dark energies that enter his body while also fighting against it. This continued for three days before the dark face finally turned into a gaseous mist that dissipated out of his body. He fell asleep immediately because of the tiredness hitting him.

"Is he ok?" Vincenzo said as he saw Floret carrying the battered Wallace out from the training room.

"He has erased the dark will from his body again so there should be no complications again. His consciousness is very exhausted so it will take some time for him to wake up" Floret said as she carried him to the room and sat beside him. He slept for one day before he woke up.

"You're awake" he heard Floret's voice.

"Hmm," he nodded his head.

"The dark will in your body has been erased again but don't lose your guard, as long as the dark heart is inside your body, it will come back again so you should learn to control your emotions because emotions such as rage, fear, and other negative ones are a catalyst for it," She said.

"Hmm," He nodded his head.

"I and Vincenzo have arranged the place you will train before the genius meets for you. Don't worry, I will take care of the remaining, what you should just do is train" She said.

"Bye I need to go back to finish what I'm doing, we will meet again," She said.

"Bye," He also said. She disappeared.

"Prepare, you will leave tomorrow," Vincenzo told him when he got to the dining table.

"Where are we going" He asked as he dug into the food.

"You will be going to the Beast planet, it's a planet that has just been colonized a month ago. It can only allow the evolver, divine realm, and meta-divine realm expert, there is a canopy covering it that resists any sage realm expert. From its name, it's a planet that is being controlled by beasts. Apart from the fact that it is being controlled by beasts, it has a different environment that makes one marvel and also one of the most resourceful planets. It is currently being colonized by the Life organization, the Draco, the Shura, and the Spirits" Vincenzo told him.

"This Shura and the Spirits are also part of the five families, they are also fighting for the control of the planet in this galaxy. We usually get into scuffles with those five families also because they also fight for the un-colonized galaxy to get more resources. Anyways it's just a small branch of the family"

"The Shura families also look like humans but they have horns on their head. These are species that also cultivate but this time they only cultivate their body which allows them to have insane physical strength. They also have four cultivation stages in the beginning, the evolver realm, the divine realm, the meta-divine realm, and the sage realm but this time their cultivation is based on how large their combat body is. A shura in the evolver stage is between ten feet and a hundred feet. A shura in the divine stage has close to one thousand feet body, a shura in the meta-divine realm has close to ten thousand feet body and one in the sage realm has close to a hundred thousand feet body.

They don't cultivate skills because their body is enough to break through all skills. A ten-foot shura is a beginner evolver but they are stronger which means the strongest of them can reach late late-stage evolver realm and this depends on the number of spikes they have on their arms. A shura with one spike is not that talented so at ten feet, it is comparable to a beginner evolver. Each spike has an amplification effect of 2 times to their body and the highest spike a shura can have is 10. Five on both arms. It has an amplification of 1024 times on their body which is an insane amount.

"But not to worry, the highest you will ever find here is four spiked shura. Starting from five spikes, they will join the main branch in the center of the universe where they will start to undergo training.

The second race here in the Milky Way is the spirit race, these races are elusive. They cultivate their spirit into something called spirit crystals which in turn form elemental bodies. Their strength difference lies in which and how many elements they can control. Some control fire, and ice while some go further in controlling the major elements such as space, time, and death, you can't know them because the ones you will find here are inferior beings that can only control at most two minor elements" He was told.
