Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 720

Chapter 720: Ready

Bone Essence and Comprehensions had both been added. The former confused Sylas, but the latter made his gaze quite intent. It changed everything.

Didn't this mean that he wouldn't need to be as careful from now on?

Until this point, Sylas had been holding back on his second and third Comprehensions because he thought that he would only have a single shot at it. As such, it could be said that he was holding himself back from a great deal of possibility.

It had to be remembered that thanks to the Fusion Crystal, he could have an additional Comprehension, but thanks to his Dual Class Constitution, the Crystal was doubly effective on

him.

Still, even with this leeway, Sylas hadn't been willing to take risks with what Comprehension he chose next because his recent experiences had made it clear to him just how rare Fusion Crystals were.

Although they were weak, he could still find Gene Crystals on the market from time to time, likely being sold by people who they were no longer useful to.

But he had never seen a single Fusion Crystal on the market.

This was the obvious dividing line between something truly valuable and something that was just rare.

Of course, this wasn't to say that Fusion Crystals were definitively more valuable. It was just that while Gene Crystals had several tiers of grade to them, a Fusion Crystal either helped you or it didn't.

Its grades were much more acute in nature, whereas a Bronze Gene Crystal might have a wide range to them, a Fusion Crystal only had a few types.

This aside, Sylas realized now that he would no longer have to be as careful.

'Fragmented Comprehension...? What is that...?'

Sylas' eyes narrowed. His Comprehensions were only ranked from F- to FFF+. Could it be that all of these were Fragmented?

There was only one way to find out, so Sylas turned Extricate on himself again.

It didn't even take a moment before he confirmed it.

Indeed... it seemed that his comprehension was Fragmented.

Sylas frowned. If it was possible to get Comprehension above FFF+, then why was it that even after the Fusion Crystal had followed him for so long, he hadn't raised a single one to above FFF+?

[How do you comprehend an above Fragmented Comprehension?]

Sylas' gaze sharpened. 'Taboo... push through.'

Hunger increased.

[How do you comprehend an above Fragmented Comprehension?]

[The Legendary Path of Comprehensions had long been cut off. Unless you are a descendant of an Ancient Race, forming a Common, Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Legendary Comprehension is impossible.]

Sylas' brows raised.

He didn't like this the slightest bit.

On the one hand, it was good news. His Taboo Bond Path was even more broken than he knew.

If these Comprehensions were something you could only be born with, but he now had the ability to steal them, he had all the ingredients he needed to break free of the limits of his Race and soar beyond.

But...

Setting aside whether these Races would have the same protections against such things that the Sylphs had back when they managed to stop Sylas from stealing their Unique Gene, what good was taking another's Comprehension?

Sylas really liked Madness. Unless Madness was also a Comprehension passed down by one of these Ancient Races, how would he improve it to the level he wanted?

Did that mean that he would be stuck abandoning Madness in the future for something stronger?

'Wait...'

A thought came to Sylas and he pulled on his Madness Comprehension again.

Soon, he felt like he had lost a large piece of himself as his Will began to waver.
