Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 906

Sylas had felt it ever since the mysterious Comprehension of the Great Apes had crossed a threshold. It wasn’t just their body moving, it was the very world around them doing so. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

He had wondered how it could be possible for one person to maintain such a perfect balance of intelligence and wildness. It wasn’t until the Great Apes grew powerful enough to affect the waters around them that he grasped it.

It also became clear to him that it wasn’t necessarily his fault for taking so long to notice. It was because his other senses had been suppressed that he hadn’t noticed sooner.

Without his Rune Mastery able to act and react with the ease that he was used to, it was only natural that he had a harder time grasping the shifts and changes in the air.

But that also went to show something else.

These Great Apes were using a sense that Sylas didn’t understand to reach their current level. Otherwise, there was no reason for Sylas’ sense of the atmosphere to be so suppressed.

For example, two of his three Comprehension had been suppressed, but the one directly related to the trial at hand—Mixed Martial Arts—was fully intact.

That meant something, without a doubt.

This meant that this trial didn’t want him to use Rune Spark to feel out these changes. But…

Sylas felt his Progenitor Flame Ability flicker, and a new world opened up to him.

When he looked at the Great Apes now, he didn’t just see the humanoid before him, but also a large, looming aura. It looked as though they were blanketed by an energy ripped from the world that formed an invisible armor around them.

This symbiotic armor communicated with them, sometimes even puppeteering their actions.

No, puppeteering wasn’t correct. It was like it gave them options, and they were adept at choosing so quickly it almost looked like they were being directed.

When Sylas finally began seeing these changes imprinted into the Mesh of Reality through his spatial perception abilities, reading and reacting to the Great Apes became so easy that it was almost like he could see the future…

But he wasn’t satisfied with this.

He turned it off.

Like he had said, he came here to find something to make him more balanced. If he grasped things like this, he would just have yet another ability that relied on his Will. And this one seemed like it might take more effort and energy than any of the others, especially if he took this path.

But what sense could they be using that he didn’t understand?

’… Blood?’

The first thought Sylas had as he fought his next opponent, trying to get a feel, was Blood Essence. But if that was the case, it was something they were born with and it wasn’t something that he could copy even if he wanted to.

However, Sylas couldn’t shake off the feeling that it was something innate, something deep within them.

And then he stood across from the third-to-last of them and he finally understood.
