Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 889

Sylas blinked, his vision still not quite clear. His ears didn’t seem to be working well either, but the voice seemed to have spoken directly into his mind. It was impossible for him not to hear it.

"Gogo? Your name is Gogo?" Sylas asked.

The Basilisk King tilted its head as though it were trying to recall something, and then Sylas could feel that it was wondering if it had pronounced it correctly. The way Sylas said it didn’t sound the same as it sounded in his mind, but he didn’t think he was stupid… so the mistake must be his own.

Feeling the complex thoughts of the Basilisk King for the first time, Sylas was taken aback that it could even have such intricate thoughts. He was even more taken aback by the fact that it had such a deep, unfathomable respect for him.

It was as though Sylas could do no wrong. If he was angry, then it must be the Basilisk King’s fault.

There was such an intimate connection and weaving between their thoughts that Sylas couldn’t avoid the guilt even if he wanted to. It weighed on him like a mountain, and the disgust twisting in his gut only grew deeper.

The Basilisk King tried to say its name again, but no matter how many times it tried, it always sounded like Gogo to Sylas.

The disconnect was baffling for more than one reason. Not only did it not make sense that the Basilisk King couldn’t convey its name, but more importantly than that…

Shouldn’t his Insight Path Talent have already told him what it was? Why was it so silent all of a sudden? Could it not sense this? Was this actually beyond it?

Suddenly, a light lit up in the Basilisk King’s eyes, and it opened its mouth this time.

What happened next nearly killed Sylas.

The Basilisk King’s tongue flicked in an odd arc, its slit pupils constricting, and all the scales on its body rippling as though they were the air flaps of an airplane. Radiant golden Runes danced across it, strong hues pulsing from the edges of its black-as-night scales.

And then it spoke.

It was a language akin to the roars of dragons and the thunderous booms of clouds that rang out.

Sylas felt as though the last of his Will was about to flicker out of existence, and it might have been lost had the Basilisk King not realized its mistakes and shut its mouth before the last echoes finished.

Blood leaked from Sylas’ eyes, ears, and nose, but the notification screen still flashed brightly.
