Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456: Hero Points

Sylas woke up with a sharp glint in his eyes. He shifted slightly and his bones popped and cracked, his muscles awakening like a dragon stretching itself taut after a long slumber.

The moon was still high in the sky, shimmering with a beautiful fullness. However, Sylas didn't have the eyes for it. Instead, he was looking at the new notification on his screen.

When he saw Leg 006's introduction, he understood that things must have gone very well. It also confirmed for him that the system wasn't just fair; it was biased toward those it supported.

The Sylphs had no business here, and the system knew it. As such, whenever they exposed themselves, the system would give him all the chances in the world to crush them.

These realizations, though, only made him more wary. He definitely wasn't the only intelligent person in the world. For Earth to have failed so many times even with such advantages, and powerful existences like the Dogons and Clypsians as their predecessors... It could only mean that their enemies were far stronger than he knew.

He stood to his feet.

For now, he wouldn't be going to the Ebonspire. To him, the Ravenclaws were never the threat. The people he needed to crush were the Sylphs.

This territory would never be his so long as they existed.

...

Rolland sat in his office, feeling ironically much the same as Plinli. The difference was that he had lost much more than plinli had by the point he realized that he was being painted into a corner.

The price of controlling demon villages wasn't low, and it was also impossible to capture powerful demon villages so easily. The only way to mitigate the hardship was by targeting new demon villages and then investing in their growth.

These demon villages had Level 30s at their helm. The highest Level human right this moment was only Level 28. One could imagine how valuable they were now, but he had lost three in quick succession. And he didn't even deal a blow to his enemies.

Now, he had been sanctioned by the system and couldn't make another move even if he wanted to.

The worst part was that this sanction also targeted the demon villages that were under his control. Not only would this expose his cards to his enemies, but if they took advantage of these three days properly, he would suffer a setback that couldn't be reversed.

His gaze flickered. It seemed that he might have to rely on the other System Cities to do this. There were two others in this territory, and until now, they had been less involved in the Multi Quest than usual. But... it should be possible to pull some strings and...

Rolland suddenly got a notification that made him stand to his feet fiercely.

...

Sylas stood in front of the mission hub, indifferently handing over his missions.

This time, he didn't use a misdirection because he knew that Rolland wouldn't have enough time to act even if he wanted to and... because he knew that it would come in handy right here and now.
