Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548: Psychological Biologies (1) [Bonus]

"What was that?" Sylas asked.

He had already had Nosphaleen help Tasia settle down. The two of them now shared the same home in the Duke District. Considering the size of the lot, it would have been more than enough for twenty people, let alone two.

What he didn't expect was that Nosphaleen would come back on her own to speak with him. They had been here for almost a week already, but this was the first time she had done this without it being triggered by outside interference.

Sylas had already realized that she was avoiding him somewhat. But it wasn't out of subterfuge... she was scared of him.

He was just fine with that. The more apprehensive she was around him, and the more respect she held in her heart, the less likely she would be to ever betray him.

"She's odd..." Nosphaleen said again, not quite knowing how to explain further.

This time, Sylas just waited for her to sort her thoughts. Eventually, she spoke again. "As you probably know, my charm works subconsciously. I don't have to try to trigger it." Sylas nodded. The first time he met Nosphaleen, he had almost lost himself in her beauty, something he never did. He managed to snap out of it, but he was always cautious with guarding his mind around her now.

If he wasn't cautious, he could end up slipping.

That had become less of a possibility after the most recent evolution of his Will, but he still had his guard up in a lot of ways.

"Her mind is oddly tough for someone without Levels. She's potentially dangerous."

Sylas knew some of this already. The fact the system agreement process worked with her could only mean that her Will had a more tangible form than most.

But this was still a surprise. Even Sylas couldn't fully resist Nosphaleen at the start, so how had Tasia done it?

"And you know nothing about this?"

"I have a guess, but..."

"Go on."

"The odds are just too low. If she was a descendant of my Clypsians, it would make sense. But for her to look so human, her blood must have been considerably diluted, at least four, maybe five generations removed.

"The only way for her to have such innate charm, then, would be for a mutation to trigger.

"I don't know much about Earth, but the odds one of my people would get away with copulating with one of your kind is next to zero. The child would almost certainly be killed. But for the child to not only survive, but then make it through several generations..."
