Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 669

Sylas felt that so long as he chose one of these other several dozen hubs, his Will would instantly be transported there, and then his body would soon follow.

Unfortunately, all Sylas could tell was that the city was vast, but he couldn’t pick up on any other important information. But what he did know for certain… was that this city was beyond any sort of human ingenuity that Sylas had ever laid eyes on. It made the hidden Dogon city he had stumbled upon before feel like a primitive wasteland.

Just what was this place?

Sylas couldn’t help himself and he vanished. But what he found on the other side left him completely floored. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

…

Sylas stood in front of a building of crystalline glass. Its walls seemed more sandy than not, formed of a grainy version of the silvery-blue sands that could be found on the outside. But it was also covered in a much clearer material as well, like a refined version of the Glass element.

The building was half this grainy texture and half this beautiful crystalline glass, forming an array of silvery-blue that was a cross between making one squint at the brightness and making one feel like they were being warmly invited.

However, the oddity of the material was only one aspect of it all. The other was that the architecture felt like it had come from the future, and… it was simply enormous.

Sylas had stood beneath tall skyscrapers before, but this felt like it was truly on another level. It felt less like a manmade structure, and more like a feat of mother nature, like he was staring at the form of a mountain that had loomed for thousands of years.

The architecture had an odd flow to it, opting for soft curves instead of the sharp edges and corners of a modern building. There were countless archways and looping structures, some sections even looking like water flowing from a cliff, while others were like flowery petals blooming for others to see.

All the while, Sylas felt like he was craning his neck just to look straight up and yet not see its very peak.

And yet…

None of that felt even remotely important given what was before him.

A City Stele.

It floated in the middle of the archways and there was a constant flow of Aether coming from it that seemed to feed into the city around it directly.

Somehow, the City Stele felt like it was the heartbeat of the city, a part of it in a way that Sylas had never experienced anywhere else, not even in System Cities.

System Cities felt robotic and almost inorganic in a way that this City Stele very much was not.

Sylas reached forward and tried to touch the City Stele despite the oddly far distance that separated them. He didn’t even know why he had, it was like something was calling him to it.

But the moment he even had the thought and his hand had barely raised, spikes of danger practically drilled themselves into his mind.

Sylas froze immediately, stopping his actions.

He took a breath, settling himself down. There was something about this city that was tugging at his heartstrings in ways he couldn’t explain. Somehow, he felt both at home and like he was a foreigner. He couldn’t quite square the two emotions.
