Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 666

It wasn’t long after Sylas made his decision that he found out that the glass pyramid they were in was precisely the heart of the Africor Government’s power.

Unfortunately, there was nothing to rob.

It seemed that the Constitutional Monarchy wasn’t as useless as they seemed. Though the city had been evacuated, it had likely been done systematically and with a set plan of retreat. Sylas wouldn’t be surprised if they were already planning for a return. The only thing delaying these matters was the return of their monarchs.

With his new Class, Sylas was able to dismiss and move around the constructs of the Glass Monkey with ease. So the hidden infrastructure beneath didn’t take much effort at all to make their way through.

As they dug and made it to the hidden quarters of the Africor Government, Sylas began to wonder if he should consider staying here. If he lied in wait for the return of the three monarchs, this den that the Glass Monkey had spent the effort to build would give him a huge advantage.

Sylas wasn’t out for revenge, though that was a small tick at the back of his mind—after all, the Africor Government was responsible for the cities that targeted him back in the Woodland Territory. Still, his real purpose was their wealth. Killing the monarchs of this government would surely benefit him greatly in that riches department.

In the end, though, Sylas chose to shelve these thoughts for the moment.

It was easy to overextend yourself after so many successes. Over-leveraging could come to bite him in ways he wouldn’t easily be able to deal with.

These governments were more powerful than he knew. It wouldn’t be smart to underestimate them too much.

’Hm?’

Sylas was thinking about returning after they found nothing for such a long while, but then he felt a fluctuation of Aether.

’So hidden…’

He turned back to Alex, Cole, and the others, only to notice that they didn’t seem to have noticed anything.

’These walls, they’re Aether restraining…’

There were two reasons Sylas pressed forward. For one, the explosive growth of the Glass Monkey was still unexplained. A part of him thought that it was related to the Glass Pinecone, but he wasn’t sure. The Glass Pinecone had been a reward of the system. Could it have existed on the Glass Monkey’s person ahead of time?

The second reason he was pressing forward was because no matter how thorough the Africor Government was, it was impossible for them to truly escape with everything valuable.

This place was their headquarters. They likely planned to expand outward from here with this city of Cairith as their main core.

If it was so easy to pick up and leave, then it wouldn’t be much of a stronghold, now would it?

However, Sylas still hadn’t found anything valuable. And what he sensed when he finally did find an oddity was out of his expectations.

But that explanation didn’t make any sense. How could the Portal related to the Glass Monkey’s growth be so carefully hidden away here? _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
