Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1029

Chapter 1029 Frustration

Sylas' eyes opened to a road of gold. It seemed to consume his vision, making it hard for him to see anything at all in his periphery until he forcefully ripped himself away.

He frowned and then looked around at the rest of the world, only to find that it was equally as gold. The skies, the trees, the grass by the roadside.

There was an almost painful beauty to the world, almost like it was perfect to the point of imperfection, beautiful to the point of ugliness. It didn't carry the same sort of asymmetry or slight faults that a world probably should have.

Every leaf was the exact same, every blade of grass angled in the same way, even the rays of the sun felt almost artificial.

Sylas began to get a headache staring at the world, almost like he had an urge to fix it, to rearrange things. He didn't like what he was seeing at all.

…

"Oh, seems like I was a step late."

In the outside world, the Auran came to a stop three or so meters from Megean with a smile on his face. Though he was obviously talking to Megean, his head had tilted up to the skies as he observed something flash onto the screen above.

In that moment, the enormous golden tree had a few branches flex and aim themselves downward, tapping at the air and causing golden ripples to spread out.

These ripples became screens of light, which soon solidified into the pictures of a familiar man.

Sylas.

The image reflected Sylas staring at the world around him with a tight frown on his face, looking from blade of grass to tree leaf to ray of sun, unable to decipher and settle into exactly what he was seeing.

"Unfortunate. It seems like he's struggling already," the Auran said lightly.

Megean frowned and looked away from the young man toward the screen. Seeing Sylas just standing there, she began to feel some worry. But then she noticed something, and her eyes flickered.

This was a very common thing for newcomers to the Golden Grove, especially when their talent was severely lacking. Even if Sylas had a rare dual Will affinity, that didn't mean that they were particularly strong, and given the Galaxy he came from, the odds of his foundation being anything decent were highly unlikely.

But there was still a difference between Sylas and those people.

Those people… their eyes were always stuck on the road. Sylas was clearly looking elsewhere, though, as though he was distressed about something completely different from what normal people were distressed about when entering the road.

It was just that… Megean didn't know where that difference stemmed from or what it represented.
