Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 689

Chapter 689: Is That So?

Sylas' gaze sharpened.

Silver City Stele? He only knew of one. Or more accurately, he only knew of a group of one. The System Cities.

Was this a clue about System Cities? Was Archibald implying that he had figured out the truth behind them as well? But then what did he mean by "all roads lead to Legacy"?

'Rome... he's making a subtle implication that he's also aware of my appearance in the Split Realm as well. But at the same time, he's pointing me to Legacy. Is he trying to say that Legacy is a traitor? No, that wouldn't be useful information. At least, it wouldn't be useful enough to risk communication like this with me, even going as far as giving Nathan something so valuable in return.'

At this point, there were so many traitors on Earth that Sylas couldn't even find it in himself to care whether Legacy was among them or not. He had long reached the point where he felt like he was surrounded by enemies.

There was only one way forward when things had reached this point.

Be Strong.

Those words of the Madness Key rang more and more true every day.

But if Archibald wasn't trying to warn him of this, then of what?

'Legacy has the solution.'

Sylas' gaze flashed. That was the only answer.

Why would Archibald mention the System Cities and then point him in the direction of Legacy? He also implied a connection through the Split Realm, which was a Dungeon surrounded by the mysteries of ancient Earth and inextricably linked to the machinations of alien Races in undermining their chances of a successful Summoning.

Legacy had the solution that Sylas was looking for. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

The Madness Key required 10,000 Silver Genes to give him the answer he wanted. All things considered, Sylas didn't feel like he had a single shot at gathering that many Genes.

Not only were the beasts mind-numbingly powerful, but even those he had once had to go all out against were not just rare, they also only had one or two to their names.

Unfortunately, the ticket to the Mancy world he had gotten wouldn't give him a chance. If he understood correctly, those beasts were virtual and didn't have real Genes attached to them. Instead, they were formed by Blood Essence, which was a good enough replacement for what Sylas needed.

Even if he could farm Genes from that world, would he have the time? There was a limit to how long his gate would stay open, he didn't have forever.

It also had to be considered that everyone on Earth was already rapidly approaching the limits of the F-Grade, and yet Silver Genes were still so rare.

Reaching the E-Grade wouldn't magically mean your Genes got better either. In fact, most alive on Earth right now would either never reach the E-Grade, that was something that future generations would have to pave a path for.

And, reaching the E-Grade just meant that one would have to start fighting for Fragmented E- Grade Genes instead. By that point, even Gold F-Grade Genes would be useless.

That was all to say that with the cap of the F-Grade rapidly approaching... Sylas couldn't see a path to gathering such a large number of Silver Genes. The fact that he had run into anyone carrying these Genes at all was a rarity amongst rarities.
