Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 948

Sylas’ thoughts practically streamed through his mind. Several possibilities came up, but he didn’t commit to any one of them. In fact, he suppressed them on purpose.

For this… there was no need to overthink things.

He had already shifted the way he looked at the world. But the point of his shift in mindset wasn’t to ignore the words of the Madness Key completely. It was to learn when to learn that mode, that desire for carnage off, and use his brain instead.

But right now, that wasn’t necessary.

He didn’t have enough information to outthink his opponents. He was not only facing the geniuses of the Skai Galaxy, but they had come ready and prepared.

From Gralith’s words, it was clear that this was something that many were actually in the know about. At the very least, the highest echelons of society had at least some rudimentary information about it.

In that case, there was no need to use his brain so much. In fact, he might even benefit more from shutting off his mind entirely.

All he needed right now was absolute power. That was the only thing that could get him the victory he needed.

He came to a stop.

This should be the location, but the target he was looking for wasn’t here, and there wasn’t a city either.

’Indeed, they can leave cities.’

Sylas just stood there, his senses carefully scanning the region. Much like always, even if the range of his visualization was two kilometers, the amount of it that his Wisdom could focus on at a single time was limited—especially after his Wisdom stat was suppressed by this world.

He shrank the area down, focusing on smaller and smaller regions, trying to pick out anything of interest.

He wasn’t completely blind to his own intelligence; he knew that whoever had been looking at him was most likely the Frostbane Sylph. The odds that someone else would sense him first were unlikely, which meant that he was looking for a type of Aether that he was quite intimately familiar with.

But with how low his affinity had become for the Aether while his Class was suppressed, it wasn’t a simple matter. Not with so much other Ice Aether swirling around at the same time.

Sylas found that it wasn’t until he had once again shrunk his visualization to a hundred-meter radius that he could truly take in everything.

And yet there was still nothing at all.

His eyes narrowed.

Logically, there should be something. The only reason the area would be so clean would be if the Sylph sensed him feel their presence and then acted accordingly.

In which case, he had just walked into a trap.

Sylas was quite calm when he reached this conclusion. He had known that this was a possibility before he even moved. If he had time, then he would consider a different approach.
