Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 576

Chapter 576: Not a Single One [Bonus]

Sylas stood on the peacock's back in the far-off distance, his brows tightly wound into a frown.

He had known that things would be bad, but this was even worse than he expected.

The reaction of the Demons to the Demonic Aether was outside of his calculations. He thought that the main problem would be the influx of new Demons coming from the other side of the Demon Gate, not realizing that the main horror was the Aether itself.

The Demons here had been in a state of repression. They were using Aether that they weren't compatible with, and as such, they were several orders of magnitude weaker.

Now that they had their own Aether to use and pull upon, they were far stronger not only in Level but in relative strength as well.

Every single one of them had become an FFF+ threat.

And this was all before the Demons on the other side even set their sights on this region. Sylas truly wasn't sure what to do.

The smart thing was exactly as he had decided previously...

Leave.

This situation was far too much for him to handle alone. Getting the Africor Continental Government to deal with it would be ideal. After all, they couldn't let Demons rampage through their country like this.

But if this Demonic Aether continued to spread like this, the Territory would be overrun much faster than Sylas ever expected.

On top of that, there was another problem.

The other side of the Demon Gate... could it be considered a world off of Earth?

In that case, could it be that if he went over in an attempt to destroy the Shrine, would he lose months at a time again?

It was all bad no matter what angle you looked at it from.

'Maybe...'

Sylas' eyes narrowed.

If the Demon Gate really was another world, maybe for the first time, he would be able to benefit from this time dilation instead of suffering as a result of it.

Because of the time dilation, any Demons on the other side would take quite a while to begin making their way over. This might actually give Sylas more time than he thought he had.

'From what I've seen, a day or so is about three to four months... That means even a few minutes is quite a delay.'

[What happens if you destroy just one of the two Demon Shrines?]

[The Demon Gate will become unstable. On the one hand, this will make it more difficult for Demons to cross, but on the other, it will increase the flow of Demonic Aether]

'It seems like there's only one choice, then.'

Sylas took a step off of the peacock's back, free-falling from the skies.

He would destroy this Demon City and the Demon Shrine they hid. Then, he would wipe out all of the Demon Cities in his Territory.

And he gave himself a week to do it at most.

Could he destroy 236 Demon Cities in a week?

There was only one way to find out.

BANG!

Sylas' knees bent as he landed on the ground and he erupted forward into a blazing acceleration.

He didn't waste a single moment, appearing before the first bear demon and punching a hole through its chest.

'Not good.'

Sylas used the stop in his momentum to take a step back, dodging out of the way of a long array of swiping, black claws.

The bear demon actually wasn't dead, but that wasn't the main issue. It was only Level 20, but
