Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 975

Chapter 975 Pressed

Sylas held Sylviaa's neck in his hand, holding her up as though she weighed not much more than a straw doll. There was a look of calm in her eyes, but Sylas could tell the difference…

The difference between a woman who didn't fear death versus one that didn't think she would die in the first place.

He had intimately felt the difference before. Sometimes he even wondered if his own current indifference toward death was only because he was gaining more confidence in his own abilities rather than the fact he had truly gotten over that fear.

That difference seemed inconsequential, but it was all too important to him.

Sylviaa wasn't so calm because she was ready to die. She just thought that she was too valuable to fall here.

Honestly speaking, she was probably right. She was easily among the top ten talents of Earth, an existence that would be integral to their future rise.

Sylas, though, hadn't decided. The other question was if the choice was even in his hands. Did he have to kill everyone on the Quest Leaderboard for him to win?

The odd part about this Quest was that the end goal wasn't obvious. If it was to conquer the entire world, maybe even killing everyone wouldn't be enough, as he would need to raise a City Stele past the Empire level to do that.

But… Sylas didn't think that would be necessary. He had a pretty good guess as to what it would take, and if he was correct, he could do it even without killing these enemies first. It was just that killing them ahead of time would make things far easier on him, so it was only logical to do so.

Though he said all of this, it wasn't certain. He could very well be wrong, which was why killing someone he could kill ahead of time instead of dragging them around only seemed like the logical thing to do.

He shook his head. Earth had so few warriors, and given the challenges that were coming, he would be arrogant to believe that he could do it all on his own.

Sylviaa's eyes widened in shock, not believing it until she felt her own windpipe shatter to pieces, squeezed down and then skewered by her own spinal cord.

It seemed that he would just have to be arrogant, then.

He didn't even bother to have Nosphaleen take control of her. It would be a waste of resources.

With the situation Earth was in now, it was best if there was just one voice and no one he had to worry about.

Did he care about Sylviaa herself and the threat she posed to him? Not at all. But he wouldn't be able to be on Earth all the time, especially not with what he had planned very soon. The only way forward was a clean sweep.

Since Emperor Eurpeia had died, why not kill some more?

Sylas was about to leave when he paused. After some thought, he used Extricate on Sylviaa.

There was no way that he could risk pushing Taboo Bond to Level 50 for her Potential, but there was something else that he was interested in. After a while, he pulled it out.
