Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1160

Chapter 1160: Swallow

Sylas exhaled a breath, and the shattered world around him seemed to reform in on itself, the Runes fusing back into their original forms and reanimating into the world.

It was almost a beautiful sight to behold, one that was hard to put into words unless you witnessed it personally.

It was like the world was formed of puzzle pieces that radiated their own mystery when put together, and right now, under the effects of the Pride Seed, Sylas could feel it more clearly and wholly than ever before.

He could sense the very fabric of the Mesh of Reality—not just its existence, but the underlying emotion within it. It was like he could feel out the heartbeat of the world, reach out…

And crush it.

BANG!

The world around Sylas shattered once again, this time even more completely than before. Chaos surged, and the world split and whined.

This wasn’t the effect of the Pride Seed. It was the effect of Sylas’ Unravelling Pupils. However, when the two came together, it was like it called for the destruction of the world.

Sylas could feel the abilities of the True Pride Seed far more clearly than he had sensed Gluttony or Lust.

As far as he knew right now, the Gluttony Seed was capable of swallowing Destiny and bolstering the impact of his Will, allowing it to exert its force on things with larger mass—

A moment of enlightenment suddenly hit Sylas like a truck.

‘I finally… understand…’

For the longest time, Sylas had been wondering why his telekinesis was so finicky. Why could it exert its power only based on the weight of an item he was targeting?

But that was the key the entire time. It wasn’t weight—it was mass. And most accurately, it was the impact of said mass on the Mesh of Reality.

His telekinesis was always interacting with the world through the Mesh of Reality. However, an item, depending on its mass, would curve the Mesh of Reality.

When an item had more mass, the Mesh of Reality would curve more around it, making it more difficult for Sylas’ own telekinesis to exert the same influence.

Sylas almost felt stupid.

It was simple, so very simple. An explanation he could have come to when he was a child.

As for why? Wasn’t that just a unique application of the Theory of Relativity?

That same concept also explained why he could exert more power if he coated his fist with Aetherflow rather than just sending out a fist.

If he sent out a fist, it had to maintain its influence on the Mesh of Reality by itself, but if he coated his fist instead, his body was already exerting its influence, and then his telekinesis could match and increase that influence on top of it.
