Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 801

The fact that he was unable to get the Aether Treasure was a huge blow that he wouldn’t be able to easily get over. But truth be told, he should have already accepted this.

He had entered with only 40 million or so Hero Points. Just entry to gain access to an Aether Treasure had cost over 10 billion, and even with how much she was willing to spend, Nyssa certainly couldn’t afford such a caliber of Treasure.

Aether Treasures were too powerful and important, let alone Ancient Aether Treasures.

The more Sylas learned about these matters, the more he found it odd that the Thryskai had made this a competition instead of just handing it to Ulrik. And all that considered, why Ulrik in the first place?

Everything seemed to suggest that Ulrik wasn’t a big shot amongst the Thryskai, so why was so much effort being placed on him?

Could his lineage outstrip his talent? Maybe Sylas was underestimating just how much the Thryskai were willing to invest into one of their own regardless of rank? Or maybe… there was something going on here that he didn’t have full comprehension of.

Sylas pressed these thoughts down.

He didn’t have the time to waste on them.

A focused flame flickered in his eyes as he focused on the first treasure.

Strings of question marks filled Sylas’ vision. There were no explanations, no descriptions, no hints as to the challenge he would face at all.

A Dungeon Key was a Treasure that spoke for itself. It opened up a portal to another world’s Dungeon, allowing one to challenge it from anywhere within a certain radius.

Sometimes, extremely famous Dungeons would have extended openings thanks to the help of certain Treasures. As a result, they could be cleared again and again, and farmed for their resources.

In such situations, the world in question where this Dungeon resided would sell these Dungeon Keys, allowing outsiders to enter and gain a tidy sum as a result.

For obvious reasons… this was an insane decision by Sylas.

The original cost of this Dungeon Key alone was the exact same as his price of entry into the challenge against Ulrik and Lorien. In fact, it was over the ten billion cost.

And the moment Sylas saw it, he knew he had to have it.

Sylas pulled the key out of the air with his telekinesis, forming a line of connection with it through Aetherflow and twisting it.

There was a ripple that passed through the air and soon a portal spread out.

**

An hour later, Sylas stood in silence, corpses littered around him. There was a deathly stillness as sparks of lightning raced across a desert surface, spontaneously racing across the land.

Sylas himself was in the air, the corpse of an enormous yellow and brown serpent dangling from the slightly curved tips of his fingers.
