Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572: Unexpected

The peacock descended from above with a strong flap of its wings. Sylas hardly gave these City Lords a look before a crown flickered above his head.

Instantly, they all felt the horror of having their stats suppressed by 50%. No matter how hard they circulated their Aether or their Wills, it didn't change things in the slightest.

'Unexpected...'

Sylas looked at the bear demons who seemed prepared to battle already, but they were all looking toward Moose for his orders. As for Moose himself, he was in a bit of a shocked state as well. None of them had ever expected that Sylas would appear here.

None of them knew about the City Stele's ability. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone as far as to kill their own messengers in the first place.

But that was still only part of it.

Even if they had known about the City Stele's hidden aces, they would have still come here. The reason being, a Territory was much too large. There were easily tens of thousands of people who called it home and several times that number in beasts.

Even if you had an aerial view of it all, how could you account for it all?

It was like staring at a satellite map. Unless you zoomed in, you wouldn't be able to find anything of interest. And if you were looking close enough to make out details, it would take you an impossibly long time to scan the entire region.

The only reason why Sylas knew exactly where their cities were was because picking out a large structure on the map was far easier than picking out individual people. If the latter was so easy, he would have already found Ragnar.

But how could these people know that he had been eyeing the Aether Stone Mine this entire time? Not just because of the mine itself, but also because of the city hidden underneath it. There would have never been anything that happened here without him being aware of it all. However, this sight alone made Sylas deduce many things in an instant.

His gaze flashed as he landed on them one by one.

"So. Which one of you is going to tell me where Ragnar is?"

There were several changes to their expressions, but they were all colored with confusion. Sylas didn't mind it at all.

They had all already realized that he was the Sylas Grimblade they had been hearing so much about. Though they weren't ready to meet him now, those among them smart enough to set all of this up would be...

Unfortunately for this person, they weren't smart enough to realize that they were being

used.

Sylas scanned over them one more time before landing on Moose.

"Are you going to keep up the act?"

Moose blinked, his simple giant persona coming out so smoothly that it was difficult for even Sylas to find fault with it. Sylas had always thought himself to be a person who read others

well, but Moose's antics, well...

They were certainly something.
