Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 645

Chapter 645: Help

Sylas listened to Jake's story silently, allowing him to spill everything he could remember before asking more pointed questions.

Unfortunately, he couldn't expect everyone to have a memory as good as his own. There was only so much he could ask Jake before his memories became fuzzy and his answers became much more vague.

However, Sylas had still learned something very important.

All this talk of Star Festivals and tracking the movement of celestial bodies kept occurring for

a reason.

He might not have spent much time studying this stuff in the System City Library, but what he did know for certain was that pyramids, whether Mayan or Egyptian, often acted like calendars for the stars.

'Twin Moon Healers... The Moon is also a celestial body, and now it seems that this couple received a class related to this matter...'

The rest was nothing more than sheer speculation. Too many things were possible because Sylas still knew too little about this world he now called home. He didn't yet have a good grasp of what was functionally possible and what was still in the realm of fantasy. In a world like this one, everything felt like it was a go.

For all he knew, these pyramids were communicating with the stars to provide direct transport to Earth by alien Races.

Or, that could all be science fiction nonsense and that wasn't even possible.

There was only one way to find out.

Sylas looked out of the windows to find that night had fallen.

"Alex. See what you can find out."

Alex nodded and then vanished into his own shadow, disappearing from sight.

As much as Sylas wanted to sneak in personally, he didn't have the stealth skills that Alex had.

'Maybe I can find a Serpentes in the future that can help with that.'

He slotted the matter to the back of his mind and then waited patiently.

It wasn't long before Alex returned. Less than 10 minutes passed.

"There is heavy security around the entrance. There's only one way in-." Alex began.

This was the first time Sylas had heard Alex speak with his mask on, and for a moment, he thought that two people were speaking at once. One was Alex's real voice, and the second sounded almost like a much deeper echo with the same cadence.

It felt like he wasn't facing a human anymore at all, but rather a Demon.

However, Sylas didn't comment on it.

"I managed to slip inside, but the defenses do not lax. Once again, there seems to be something happening in the basement, and there's an odd concentration of silver light beaming down and accumulating from the moon above through the various windows. It feels like Aether, but also not like Aether at the same time. It is difficult to describe it in more detail than that.

"I didn't check any of their Levels because it would dismiss my stealth Skill, but there are several dozen guards just accounting for the depth I made it to, and the worst of them are probably high Level 20s. They only grow more powerful the deeper inside I went."
