Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1115

Sylas felt a huge rejection the moment he stepped foot into the maze.

One would have thought that it was easy, and even a child could think of what the plan might be. If he was in the maze at the same time as Matriarch Valeria, then the latter would be vulnerable while he was not.

While Nosphaleen had been the one to fuse with the Unique Gene of the Petals of the Seeing Thorn, Sylas had obviously not, so how could the maze affect him?

But if the Seeing Thorn Maze could be handled so easily, then it wouldn't exist in the first place.

The reason the maze itself existed was to eliminate human error. Something like having to get anyone who stepped into it to have the Seeing Thorn Unique Gene first was precisely the sort of human error they would want to avoid.

If that was the case, then any enemy who crossed into their territory could make it to the maze and go through it without obstruction, while their own people would be helpless within it.

Again, if things were so easy, the Petals of the Seeing Thorn would be foolish and not nearly as well respected as they were.

Sylas experienced that immediately.

The Unique Gene wasn't just there to hide the exact location of the Petals of the Seeing Thorn. It was also a form of protection for its people.

The Seeing Thorn wasn't just any moniker, nor was it just a clever play on words fusing the intelligence gathering aspects of the organization with a metaphor about the women that graced their halls. Though… it could be that as well.

The Seeing Thorn was one of the most powerful plant existences in the Sector. They were an invasive species known for their ability to swallow entire planets whole and mutate ecosystems to their own liking.

The Seeing Thorn Unique Gene caused the maze to mistake you as one of it. When it wasn't on your person, it treated you like everything else… _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

Something to devour.

This alone would be something that was shocking enough. But, this was only the tip of the iceberg for the Seeing Thorn. The creature's description didn't do it enough justice.

What did it mean for something to be capable of swallowing a planet? It meant that it could overtake its function, suppress its Core, overwhelm it and become, in effect, its Progenitor not by right, but by force.

This sort of concept wasn't something that most could even wrap their heads around. Even if it took a Seeing Thorn millennia to accomplish such a thing, it was more than capable of doing it.

But there was one thing that would make its prowess as clear as day.

The Seeing Thorn was a B-Grade Race.

Chi. Chi. Chi.

Gogo had only just appeared when his body was torn in a countless number of ways, ripped and torn to near shreds. His body was so large that hundreds of thorns shredded his scales apart.

Every ounce of pain was felt by Sylas, and he would have raised his head to the skies to roar, if it wasn't for the fact the thorns had already grown vines to fill up Gogo's throat and lungs.
