Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1265

Chapter 1265: Beneath

So that was what Sylas did.

The tree had 777 unique Time Runes and 777 unique Spatial Runes. Sylas wasn’t sure why the numbers were so exact, or if this was just the exact limit that the sapling had right now. But he committed to learning them all.

Many of them overlapped, having the same—or abilities so similar that they almost weren’t worth drawing a new Rune for—but Sylas didn’t discriminate in the slightest. In fact, he sought out ones like that.

Runes that had the same function and yet crafted them through vastly different means were the best for establishing his foundation. The concepts from their similarities helped him to learn them faster while also deepening the understanding of the one that came before.

He came across countless shield-type Space Runes. Ones that compressed space into a solid sheet, ones that used distance to force an attack to lose its momentum, ones that used space to divert attacks to other regions, some that used spatial pockets to swallow up large amounts of energy in a single go and have it explode in another dimension...

And these were just the distinctly different types. Within them, there seemed to be just as numerous a number of ways to complete the same action.

For compression types, you could fold space, or you could make it heavy using a more gravity-like approach—though that seemed to encroach on some aspects of Time—or you could bend space to the point that an attack quite literally twisted in on itself, disrupting its Runes and shattering it to pieces before it could even reach its attacker in the first place.

Once again, these were just defensive types... amongst the other Space Runes, there were still those that could be used for attack, those that could be used for movement, and still yet those that could be used on an auxiliary basis.

Movement Runes that shrank the ground with every step, that brought two unrelated points together, that could even completely convert momentum, allowing one to stop on a dime or transfer all of their speed to the swing of a weapon.

Auxiliary Runes that could multiply attacks, transfer a blow meant to land in one location to another, or create distortions in space that could disorient one’s senses, or even use space to create a clone of oneself.

The last one was particularly interesting, it was just that since it was space-related, the number of clones he created would function with an equally divided portion of his strength... fгeewebnovёl.com

Unless he, of course, used some other spatial abilities to compensate for that.

The attack Runes of space, however... were seemingly where it truly shone.

Just the simplest blade could seemingly cut through anything. Even Sylas’ Constitution was shredded to pieces by a blade formed of a 10 Foundation Space Rune.

The way space attacked was simply different from any other Aether Sylas had ever seen. While other Aethers ate at defenses before doing internal damage, space split those defenses apart, creating severing lines in reality where they simply didn’t exist.

Sylas had read many depictions of space in fiction or seen them in many movies. But it wasn’t until it was in his hands that he truly felt the shock of it.
