Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 789

Chapter 789 Ninth [Top 5 Golden Ticket Bonus]

Mospheral clicked a communication device close.

He was a man that liked to be prepared. Although there was a hint of self-satisfaction as he saw Sylas about to fall, he had still ended up making the call nonetheless.

It was best to have contingency plans for contingency plans, and something like dealing with a potential Progenitor needed to be done ahead of time even if that meant getting an edge by a mere few seconds.

The fact that the a potential Progenitor was on the rise was enough for him to act like this, but the fact that a certain change had occurred not long ago told him that this had to be handled with an extra depth of care.

Bringing out that Ancient Aether Treasure for this event was definitely not something that they would do normally.

All Golden Grove Bazaars were given certain quotas for raising geniuses, and a Treasure at this level was something they might only be granted once every millennia, if that.

This one in particular had been sitting in their District's Treasure Vault for 1287 years before it was finally taken out this time.

It was odd. Ulrik's standing in the Thryskai wasn't particularly high, and there were many talents beyond him in their order.

So why do this for him?

The well-accepted answer was that while he might not be the best of the Thryskai as a whole in this Galaxy, he was certainly among the best in this District, and that was enough.

But Ulrik knew that this wasn't all.

What they would entrust with Ulrik next was something that he had to succeed in no matter what, and this would ensure that that happened.

Mospheral's lip curled just the slightest bit as the fifth Rune crashed into Sylas.

When the sixth came, the wrinkle in his forehead wiggled just the slightest bit before settling down.

However, when the seventh came, his smile faded.

"What?"

He sensed it before maybe anyone else.

…

Voxena could finally feel the weight on her chest being slowly set down.

This was for the best. If she not only helped the Thryskai and gained their favor, but Sylas also died, it would be like killing two birds with a single stone.

She wouldn't just benefit, but she would have none of the drawbacks to deal with.

The best part was that her actions were so subtle that it was a surprise to her that Sylas even picked up on them. That meant that even if Sylas had a backer or a powerful ally somewhere helping him, the odds that things would track back to her were slim to none.

A slight smile tugged at her lip and she barely suppressed her self-satisfaction.

She had always thought herself to be above these women here. While she felt pity for a fool like Eliza that had her innocence tainted, she knew that she would never fall into such a trap. Even if she made such a mistake, she was confident in her abilities to find a way out of it.

She had always been quick on her feet, and now, she would truly have a chance to soar to the skies.

The gap between an Apprentice and a True Disciple of Petals of the Seeing Thorn was far too large. She had been suppressed for too long. Now it would be her chance—

Voxena froze.

Her eyes stared at the crumbling eighth Rune, trying to understand what she had just seen.
