Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543: Interesting

This was a window into Rune Spark.

It could indeed be summarized in one line, but the implications were both heavy and complicated. It meant several important things.

First, Rune Spark and Aether affinity and Aether control could not be separated from one another.

Second, part of Rune Spark's formation incorporated the very same Kingly aura that Bronze Beasts and above had.

Third, he might very well never touch upon even Rune Essence, let alone Rune Spark, if he couldn't manage to heal the Runes of Earth to a better point than this.

Rune Essence. Rune Vitality. Rune Spark.

These were the three levels beyond Rune Soul, and each one was more difficult to grasp than the last.

However, for whatever reason, Sylas didn't find it to be very difficult. Instead, what was really holding him back was the world around him.

What Sylas didn't know was that there were many talents across the universe who were much like him... it was just that these talents were born into far higher Races.

The reason for this was that because Rune Mastery was divided into Grades much like Aether or Levels might be.

Being a Rune Breath Master of the F-Grade didn't guarantee you'd be able to replicate the same feat in E-Grade.

Every Grade was another challenge, and there were many Rune Masters that never made it to the end of the road in one Grade. Making it to Rune Soul was already an exceptionally rare event.

That was why the Unique Gene of the Dogons was even more shocking.

If they could manage to elevate themselves to the E-Grade, or maybe even the D-Grade beyond, and find the materials they needed to likewise upgrade their Genes, they would immediately reach Rune Flesh.

The more one understood about the power scaling of the universe, the more ridiculous these feats became.

To the current Sylas, however, not only was this a great distance away, but it also represented a great deal of work for himself.

There was good news, though. Within his Woodland Territory, not only would he have the ability to suppress others and increase his strength, he would have a Quasi Rune Spark under his control in certain regions where the Poison and Wood Aether were in especially high concentrations.

And in this specific territory...

That was in quite a number of places.

However... that didn't mean that there was absolutely nothing he could do right now.

Sylas took a seat under the tree and entered a sort of state of focus.

Soon, his mind had entered the world of the Mancer's Blossom. It reminded him a lot of the scene near the Ice-Poison pond in the tundra regions north of the Evergreen Territory. But the difference was that this time Mancer's Blossom carried this world around it wherever it went, whereas Mancer's Wand had to be in the presence of high Ice-Poison concentrations to allow him to enter.

Sylas walked deeper into the world, and soon enough, he was surrounded by Runes with 40 to 50 Foundations.

These were the absolute strongest Runes that Sylas had been able to find in the Mancer's Wand before, but now...

He headed in deeper until his eyes landed on the first 60 Foundation Ice-Poison Rune he had ever seen.
