Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053 Six Digits.

Gralith had told Sylas quite plainly not to attempt to fuse with the Unique Gene of the Scorpion Warlord Armor until he felt like he had reached the absolute limit of what was possible for the Armor itself.

That made sense. The stronger his Armor, the more perfect the Rune. But Sylas still felt that there was something peculiar about his and Gralith's last interaction.

Obviously, his words had enraged Gralith. But the reason behind that fury might not necessarily be what it seemed like on the surface. In fact, the mere fact Gralith didn't rescind his discipleship despite the fact he had yet to actually become one officially spoke for itself.

Gralith didn't seem to be angry with Sylas, but with something else. And he didn't seem to be reprimanding Sylas, but instead warning him.

As for what he was warning Sylas about, Sylas wasn't entirely sure at the time… but the closer to perfection his Scorpion Warlord came, the more he realized that it would be impossible to reach 100%…

And the more he understood that it wouldn't be his fault.

Technically speaking, only the system could possibly reach 100% Mastery of any Rune. But after Sylas heard this, he didn't really believe it.

The system must have been created by someone. It wasn't a natural part of the universe. If there was someone who could create something that could reach 100%, then it was only natural that the person in question had been capable of it too.

The real deciding factor here was the gap between Sylas' real skills and the F-Grade Runes that he was dealing with right now.

Alone, Sylas certainly couldn't. But with the support of the UniForm boosting his mental capabilities, helping him to decipher it step by step and then incorporating that into his own Mastery and comprehension, it seemed only natural for one to flow to the next.

And that was why it made so little sense that Sylas wasn't able to push past 91% Mastery, as though there was a permanent roadblock sitting right on the path that wouldn't allow him to go any further.

It didn't take him very long at all to realize what it was.

At first, he assumed that it was because his self-created Poison wasn't of 100 Foundations, but instead just 99. He hadn't had reliance on the UniForm back then, so the leap from 99 to 100 felt impossible.

But after he thought of several possible configurations for the 100th Foundation of his Rune, he realized that there was a very big elephant in the room right now…

That wasn't the answer.

And the elephant…

It was none other than the [Earth Escape] skill.

It was ironic. That skill had just saved Sylas' life. It was undoubtedly powerful, helping him to avoid the rage of a C-tier existence, even to the point he was able to heal himself moments later.

Sylas wasn't capable of dealing with C-Grade Aether, let alone heal himself from it. The only reason he was standing here now was because the C-Grade Aether never reached him—because he sacrificed the parts of his body that would have suffered from it, cutting off its chance to influence the rest of his body.
