When the rest period ended, the teams reconvened, a mixture of determination and energy evident on their faces. Sylan stood at the center of the chamber, a profound aura enveloping him. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire "The final test begins now. Remember, the Battle Survival Enhancer Wave Virus is not about longevity. It is about enhancing the very essence of a warrior. If there is one piece of work that you can not fail, it is this one since it involves the life and death of our brothers on the battlefield. Begin!" With Sylan's words, the atmosphere became charged with intense concentration. Cain and Dimento, with their newfound understanding, began working on the Genetic Chain. Every twist, every turn, and every sequence was crafted with precision and purpose. The creation of the Vector was not the same as in the previous two tests, since this time, the duo managed to make a truly flawless vehicle for the Wave Virus, one that would allow the Genetic Chain to display its full power. Hours passed, and the chamber was filled with the subtle sounds of coding, each team deeply engrossed in their task. Cain's recent enlightenment proved invaluable. That, plus the power of The Flow, allowed him to predict potential instabilities even before they appeared, allowing for corrections in real-time. The Third Imperial Prince's team, which had been leading so far, seemed to falter slightly. The complexity of the Battle Survival Enhancer Wave Virus was evident, challenging even the most skilled coders. As the final moments approached, Cain and Dimento inserted the last sequence into their Wave Virus. They exchanged a confident look, believing that their creation was unparalleled. A few hours passed after Cain's team finished their Wave Virus for all time to end their work.@@@@ Sylan signaled the end of the test, and once again, the Genetic Evolution Cube assessed each Wave Virus. The results would determine not only the winner of the test but the entire tournament. A hushed silence enveloped the chamber as the scores began to appear on the floating virtual screen: [Fourth Imperial Prince: 93% Battle Survival Enhancement Third Imperial Prince: 92% Battle Survival Enhancement With a wave of his hand, Sylan raised three large pillars in the middle of the platform where the tournament had unfolded, signaling the teams to take their rightful positions. Marlon's team gracefully moved to the smallest pillar, claiming their third-place position. Even in defeat, they held their heads high, embodying resilience. Defeat wasn't the end but merely a step on the path to greatness. This sentiment was shared by the team of the Second Imperial Princess, who remained stoic despite their ranking. In stark contrast, the Third Imperial Prince's team struggled to mask their frustration, flying to the second-highest pillar. Salaman seemed the most upset, but his eyes also betrayed a hint of fear. Clearly, the worries of the Elder Genetic Coder of the Azure Royal Family extended beyond the tournament's outcome. Cain felt minimal concern toward the hostility of others as he, Dimento, and Severin ascended to the highest pillar. Their faces beamed with pride, celebrating their remarkable achievement. Humans might not excel at Alchemy, Rune Crafting, Enhancement, or Wave Crafting, but when it came to Genetic Coding, they were unparalleled in Aether, rivaled only by the Legio Eldritch Race. Dimento, Severin, and Cain, representing the new generation, could rightfully proclaim themselves as peak achievers. Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the cube, Sylan presented medals to the top three teams. Those bestowed upon Cain's team gleamed with a shining #1. --- A few hours after the Genetic Tournament, Cain and the Fourth Imperial Prince, Klaus, sat in a quiet room. Their expressions were calm, a stark difference from the tension of their previous private meeting. Klaus no longer regarded Cain as a member of his faction. With the need for establishing hierarchy gone, their conversation flowed more amicably. "You've been instrumental in our success," Klaus began. "It's only fair to say our victory largely hinged on your involvement. A reward is in order." Cain nodded, acknowledging his pivotal role. From the start, his main request from Klaus was this one's support during the Arcane Ceremony of Nobility. But if Klaus intended to reward him further, it would set a favorable precedent for future collaborations. Klaus, having anticipated this, was already prepared. "I've transferred 20 million military credits to your account, mirroring Dimento's reward. But for your exceptional contribution, I have this."
