Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 972

Chapter 972 Two Birds

Sylas stared at Moose's movements for a long while.

This method of hacking the system was powerful, but there were limitations. The most important of them was mobility.

The World Scepter needed to be here, attached to the City Stele. That meant that if Sylas used it, he could teleport instantly to the location he wanted to be at, but if he wanted to use the World Scepter again, he would have to rush back to his city from however long the distance away was.

Sylas had come up with his own solutions to these problems, of course.

For one, he didn't care about leveling up his city at all; it was here for this purpose alone. He planned to personally kill off the competition and deal with them that way. That meant that he could just uproot his city.

The trouble with this method was that there was a penalty for moving cities, and it would also damage the Runes that he had laid down, and he would have to redraw them.

Redrawing the Runes was easy. The real issue was the energy that he used to activate them on a large scale. That energy was limited, and without finding another equivalent source, Sylas knew that he could only do this four more times. _{freёwebnovel.com}

This was the most flexible of the options.

The second option was finding the resources he would need to modify the Runes and make this a new, quasi-portable option. But he had no idea where he might find such resources.

The obvious answer was the Nexus. He bet that the access he had with a Bronze City Stele was on a whole other level compared to Cassarae's. But there was also a chance that much like Earth's Nexuses, this City Stele was limited to what the Quest could provide and what other City Lords here put up for sale.

Depending on the system's whims, this could either be a very, very good thing, or the exact opposite. However, that would require Sylas to survey the landscape personally before he could make a choice.

And, even if he did do that…

How?

He had no experience with picking out materials and using his Runes on them. Basically, his entire Rune Master journey was figuring out how to grow powerful enough so that he didn't have to rely on external items, whether that be because he couldn't afford them, didn't have time to gather them, or didn't want the Scorned Wraps to destroy them.

These thoughts were complex and seemingly endless, but Sylas knew that he was making a pivotal decision right now. Moose was certainly not in his plans…

He couldn't let this sort of anomaly just run around without being addressed because it would certainly come back to bite him. But it was precisely because he wasn't in his plans that Sylas didn't have an immediate answer for him.

Should he waste a teleportation on him or not?

The ultimate conclusion was simple.

Do it.

Since he would have to deal with Sylviaa anyway…

Why not two birds with one stone?
