Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1149

Chapter 1149: Chaos and Calm

Sylas snapped awake from his stupor, realizing that the pulsing waves of the Dungeon had finally come to a stop. The world around him began to crumble, and a long list of notifications he had ignored to the side seemed to have been pushed even further to the back of his mind.

For a moment, Sylas focused, realizing he was likely going to have to try and find a way to survive the destruction of this. However, just as he was planning on trying to save himself once again, something odd happened.

The floor slipped out from under him, a spatial tear manifesting from the violence of the destruction.

Sylas was going to avoid it, but his sensory perception toward space was actually quite strong.

’... Really?’

Sylas slipped through the spatial storm.

...

When Sylas’ eyes cleared, he found himself on an asteroid in the middle of nowhere. Space rippled around him for a moment as he looked toward the far-off distance. The emerald moon they had been on was so far away now that he could barely see it as a point or dot in the skies.

All of a sudden, the encirclement of Thryskai and Trakar he was going to have to deal with was no longer a problem.

Was this Luck?

Sylas’ stat screen was still a string of question marks, but he could feel that it had accelerated. There was no way it would take this much time for him to assimilate with the galaxy now that he was...

’Am I?’

The Quests the others had received had nothing to do with becoming a Galaxy Progenitor, though it seemed highly likely that this would happen if they were able to gather the three True Chosen Marks.

’I see...’

Sylas wasn’t too surprised. His Quest had never claimed Galaxy Progenitor with any assurance. However...

[Titles: An Enlightened Will; Milky Way Progeny...]

Progeny was certainly an odd choice in word considering it didn’t exactly elicit the same sort of ambience or feel as Progenitor. They carried two completely different meanings.

However, this hardly mattered. There was great assurance in Sylas’ heart that this was all but a guaranteed Title for him, in the very near future at that.

[Title: Milky Way Progeny]

A name stricken from the annals of history and commandeered by another, it has slowly begun to awaken thanks to your efforts and the world has begun to recall the True Name of your Galaxy.

The Milky Way has blessed you with what little it has left, and you have become Her favored child. But to rise beyond, there is much work left to do... _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

An odd Title indeed. There was no specificity of what it did, no stat increase, no sudden bulge in power... but Sylas would surely be a fool if he didn’t know that his easy escape was related to this.

His sensitivity to Luck had increased quite a bit between interactions with Cassarae’s necklace, the improvements to Taboo Bond, and the raw increases to his own.

He knew Luck when he saw it.

’Let’s get out of here first. I’ll have to go and pick up Cassarae so that nothing goes wrong.’
