Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 925

The sounds of coughing and wheezing echoed through the world of blood. A cloaked figure kneeled on the endless expanse of crimson, his own blood leaking from him in droplets of drizzling black.

Waves of blood kicked up, volatile winds swinging them up to walls of tsunamis that came crashing down with the force of meteors. Often, the man was swallowed up whole by the volatility, but he didn’t move a single inch, his body still convulsing and struggling to move properly.

The only thing that seemed to save him was hidden in a flicker that almost looked like a digital glitch in reality. His body… it was displaced through the Mesh of Reality.

It had been a very long time since he was in such a sorry state. In fact, he couldn’t remember the last time. Maybe he was juggling the memories of too many.

He hacked up another mouthful of black blood.

It was no good. The injuries were too heavy.

The system was far too powerful. The more powerful the methods used, the more difficult it was to heal. By extension, the more powerful your body, the harder it was to heal.

But his problem wasn’t just that these injuries would take a ridiculous amount of time to heal from…

He wasn’t yet powerful enough to escape from the system. If he appeared too casually now, it would most certainly target him again.

’Risks and rewards.’

The mind of the man was quite calm despite his state. Even his expression was barely moved at all. If not for having to hack up blood from time to time, one would never guess that he was injured at all.

He had taken a risk and he was punished for it.

But that didn’t mean that there were no rewards.

The man finally allowed himself to slowly sink into the waves of blood.

’I will fall into a state of dormancy for now… by the time I awaken, I’m sure iteration 01114 will have matured… I’m interested in seeing if this Greed Seed will succeed… iteration 01113 was a complete waste of my time… what a worthless excuse of a Thryskai…’

These were the last thoughts of Rat before he fell into silence.

Arcane Madness had been close to drifting to sleep when it sensed it.

At first, it blinked somewhat in confusion, not understanding why a buzzing fly was annoying him. Then it got more confused. Why would it even notice a buzzing fly to begin with? For it, a buzzing fly must be quite powerful, no?

"Oh… this… impotent… thing finally… decided to… act…" Discover more content at freewebnovel

Arcane Madness watched as the System’s Eye appeared, growing larger and larger until it rivaled even itself in size.

"Listen… impotent thing… go pick on… something else… I’m tired…"

The system didn’t listen; a beam of light descended in full force. It wasn’t just at it, but every Arcane Madness incarnation across the universe was getting the same treatment.

But the reason for all of them was the same.

A snort.

"Scram."

The System’s Eye froze and then shattered.

Arcane Madness curled itself back into a comfortable ball and its eyes were about to close when it paused, wondering why it was that the system would suddenly take action like this.

"Oh…"

When Arcane Madness’ slow thoughts finally caught up, it began to laugh.

"Ha… Ha… Ha…"

Stars blinked out one after another, much of the region falling into a sea of darkness that would maybe never recover.
