Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 662

Sylas felt a great deal of pressure on his mind, but his stubbornness bore its own fruit.

He had gone through cycles of different schools of thought in this world. At first, he refused to acknowledge that a metric could decide his Will. Then he was forced to accept that maybe there truly was a technology out there beyond his understanding that could do precisely that. But the more he learned, and the more he came to understand that even the system was flying blind in regard to Will a lot of times, the more he realized just maybe… he had originally been correct in his stubbornness.

There was a reason he had used up 1010 Will during his battle with the Glass Monkey, and yet he was still standing here just fine without a single dip in his Will stats.

But it was also because of this sacrifice that he wasn’t in the best position to fight such a battle of Wills… and the Greed Seed seemed to be very much aware of that.

A tearing pain ripped through Sylas’ mind and he found his consciousness was already fading. In this tug of war, he had started off on the losing end, and he had no one to blame but himself. Had he just allowed the Glass Pinecone to do as it pleased, this would have never happened. But instead…

Sylas clenched his teeth, barely holding onto the strands of Will he had left. But as he had also learned recently…

There was a limit even to that.

’No. No, there is not.’

Veins popped up across Sylas’ forehead as he recirculated the medicinal effects of the Targeted Healing Elixirs to his head and then did something he would have never tried in the past.

His fury seemed to have gone to his head and he felt that smirk lurking to his back again, looking over his shoulder and sneering down at him as though he was a mouse stuck in their playpen.

’Not today. Not ever.’

Sylas forced his Fusion with the Basilisk King to activate once again and then used Semi-Fusion on Nosphaleen. But this time, rather than taking her Charisma, he took her Will stat.

Sylas roared, his Madness Comprehension blooming in a violent torrent.

Then, as though he wasn’t even remotely satisfied…

He used the Beast Totem.

BANG!

His outer layer of skin immediately splintered. Blood would have been pouring out of him in waves if not for the fact it splattered out with such force it almost formed a fine mist.
