Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 952

As Sylas was lost in thought, Nosphaleen had already gotten to work.

It seemed that Sylas was still unable to properly scan Aurion’s stats. That told him that the stat adjustments to the Quest weren’t likely universal to the whole Skai Galaxy. However, from his Will, he could tell that Aurion’s current suppressed stats were far inferior to Nosphaleen’s. He wouldn’t be able to resist her at all.

The reason he had her stay here this time was because he didn’t want a repeat of what happened last time. There was no need to take such risks for just a little bit of comfort.

This time, however, the gap between Nosphaleen and her target was so large that it didn’t take much. Aurion was groveling at her feet within minutes. He would have probably been licking at her toes had she had any.

…

Soon, the story was relatively known to Sylas.

As he expected, there was a strategy of efficiency. According to common strategy, there were two main paths to a World War event. The first was Sylas’ path, but it was commonly ignored by those with enough foreknowledge and resources to plot ahead.

In the latter case, most would choose City Steles as their starters.

This intrigued Sylas because there were so many things limited by the system when you entered this place. So what foreplanning could they do that could carry over?

The answer was about what he expected.

Aether Treasures.

But there was a second answer that had been the missing piece of the puzzle…

Metarock.

What was truly shocking, though, was how all of this was managed. All of it boiled down to one fact…

City Steles were forged with Metarock as a key piece.

This secret was the reason City Steles could meld into the foundation of a world so easily, and how they were able to grow to the point of becoming a world’s core as well.

City Steles started off at Villages, before becoming Towns, then true Cities. After this, the scale began to become larger and larger, growing to Kingdoms, and then Empires, and finally, what was truly important right this moment…

Worlds.

In order to embody the world they were in, Metarock was necessary. It was just that this Metarock was usually worthless outside of the value of the City Stele itself.

Metarock could only be used once. Once it attached itself to the laws of a world, it couldn’t be reused. And as valuable as Metarock was, it was nowhere near the value of a City Stele of equivalent Grade. So destroying a City Stele just to get Metarock made no sense whatsoever.

As such, this became an open secret no one took advantage of…

Unless it was in such a specific circumstance.
