Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 631

Chapter 631: Compatibility [Bonus]

Sylas let the Madness Key rest to his chest and exhaled a breath. Although it was nothing but speculation, he trusted his deductive abilities. The odds that this was the truth were quite good.

Maybe he had some details wrong, but the skeleton should be correct.

Sylas walked back over to the Runes and knew exactly what he had to do now.

'This platform is meant to send Will projections one way. That means, if I reverse the flow...'

Sylas sat down, circulating <Maddened Enlightenment>. Large amounts of Aether poured toward him, and his fatigued might was being quickly replenished.

In not even a few minutes, his eyes snapped open, his gaze sharpening.

The twin pair of 20 Foundation Runes appeared in his irises once again and his Will bloomed. But this time, it was much more focused.

CRACKLE.

The air bent and twisted, and then suddenly...

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The Runes on the platform, formed of the strongest material available to Earth currently, shattered apart one after another, shards flying in all directions.

However, the vast majority of what had once made up the Runes were ground into a fine powder, allowing them to escape a tragic fate.

Sylas collapsed to his back, gasping for breath. He could feel his Will slowly replenishing thanks to the passive effects of <Maddened Enlightenment>, but he wasn't paying much attention to that as something else had come to his attention.

'So this is Egypt... why do the buildings feel so much more like Rome? Has there always been such crossover?'

Sylas was intelligent, but that didn't mean he knew everything. He wasn't a historian, and much of ancient history was suppressed to begin with. The only reason he even knew some of these things was because of the System City Library.

But this task was definitely troublesome. Until now, they had been simple, one or two action threads to insert. But now... he wasn't even sure where to start.

He would need to find out what his position was in Egypt. Was he just a Great King here? Or everywhere? What other powers were there?

'No... the scope can't possibly be this wide, or else it would defeat the purpose of there being Legs to begin with. So why would it be so vague?'

Sylas frowned in thought.

'Quell the unrest of Egypt... Mountains of Giza...'

It felt like it was on the tip of his tongue.

And then his gaze flashed. He remembered something important.

Just because he was out of the Pyramids now, did that mean that it was all over? Wouldn't there still be matters related to it? Otherwise, why would the Dungeon be called the Mountains of Giza? Once again... plural.

...

Sylas found what he was looking for the next day when the festivities were through.

In this world, Egypt wasn't a country... at least not yet.

Egypt was a temple. Or more accurately, it was a religious library. And more accurately than that, it was once a normal library that was commandeered by the current religion of this world.
