Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 560

Chapter 560: Finished [Bonus]

The moment the nine pillars took shape, Sylas felt like something was pressing down on him. He was still high in the skies, surrounded by a shattered rain of splintered vines, wood, and wooden roses, but all of a sudden he felt as though <Chilling Rise> lost all of its effects. At the same time, the Ice-Poison Aether that was quickly spreading from Mancer's Blossom suddenly slowed considerably. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

It was a great risk to take Mancer's Blossom out in the first place. Sylas had no idea how good the defenses of the Aether Treasure were, and if the Violet Rose Heart was smart, it would almost certainly go all out to target it first.

But the Violet Rose Heart was an unintelligent existence that acted on nothing more than instinct. This much Sylas had already confirmed, which was why he dared to take such a risk. Diverting its attention away from the crystalline tree while he bombarded it from other directions was more than easy enough.

What wasn't good would be taking such a risk for no return, and these nine pillars seemed to be inching him closer to such a reality.

King Beasts... King Threats...

They were existences that forced entire cities to fight them, powerhouses that shook fear into the hearts of even the greatest experts, world-ending threats so shocking that the system granted merits for killing beasts even with the slightest potential of becoming one...

There was simply no way that Sylas could kill one just by destroying a few vines. And it would seem like his task had only gotten harder because Nosphaleen was now trapped outside of the nine pillars.

Sylas' gaze flashed as a hand slapped out at him from below. The clumsy Violet Rose Heart's palm surged up, extending like it had been launched out of a rocket and appearing before Sylas in an instant.

Sylas himself was already falling from the skies due to the influence of the nine pillars, and now he was being accelerated toward the palm.

The wind stung against his cheeks, and his scale-covered body almost felt as though some would peel off beneath the high pressure.

Even with his Constitution having received such a large upgrade, Sylas felt that the last thing he wanted was to face this palm head-on.

His Constitution was almost 1200. His Aether skin gave him an Effective Constitution of 2200. Layered on top of that, both received a 20% boost from <Madness Control>, which now influenced every aspect of his body, and none of that included the mysterious enrichment of the Scorpion Warlord illusory armor.

And yet, Sylas wanted absolutely nothing to do with this palm.

Realizing that Nosphaleen wasn't going to be able to make it through in these conditions, and also understanding that the longer this battle dragged out, the more familiar the Violet Rose Heart would become at controlling its body, Sylas shed all distracting thoughts.

It was impossible to account for every variable, every change, every little tweak and sudden bump...

All that mattered was to be strong.

So that was what he would be.

His gaze flared, and he struck out with a <Focus Palm>.

Suddenly, his hand was wrapped by a green and violet energy. Aetherflow activated, and he received a 60% boost from his hidden Comprehension infused into his Gene Talent.

The energy that wrapped his hand expanded violently, and in a blink, it was no less large than the palm of the Violet Rose Heart.

A twin pair of palms met in the skies, Sylas' own illusory green-violet palm from above and the humanoid plant's from below.
