Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 980

Chapter 980 Inside and Out

Sylas pulled on his Will as hard as he dared, pouring it all into larger and larger Rune formations.

The Africor Monarchs were simply the gift that kept on giving. In this situation, if he needed a method of stopping Lorien from overtaking the world… then didn't he just need to disconnect her from it?

Separating the Aether Treasure from this projected world was a far simpler task than separating the Glass City from the purview of the system.

Sylas was not only far stronger than the three Monarchs combined, but his task was far easier. How could he not succeed?

Originally, he hadn't thought of this solution because the situations weren't perfectly analogous. But after he ran out of options and came to this conclusion, it seemed only natural.

Back then, he hadn't been able to get close to the three Monarchs because of the sheer control they had over the region. Wasn't control exactly what he needed right now?

It was also for this reason that Lorien had been so confident in rendering Sylas' Rune Master capabilities useless.

But now, she wouldn't have such an option anymore.

BANG!

Sylas' pupils constricted.

Fast.

A woman, with hair of mist pink, looking more goddess than human manifested before him in a line of rose. She practically painted the skies with her Will, her palm appearing at Sylas' chest in an instant.

Sylas had yet to fully take control of the region and was still locked in a wrestling match with the Aether Treasure. At most, he had gained about 10% of the control back, but that still left Lorien with a majority of the control over the region.

His Rune forging ability was severely limited, and even with the sharp increase to his Wisdom recently, the control of this formation took up practically all of it.

But not everything.

Sylas' eyes sharpened.

His current stats were far beyond Lorien's. Her ability to control the world was far beyond his own.

Now it was just a matter of who would win this tug of war.

And he had no doubt in his mind that it would be him.

He had lost to this woman once before. Unprepared, and thrust into a world far beyond his understanding, he had struggled, only to be crushed.

Once again, he was unprepared, not even having expected his Progenitor Quest to involve others in this way.

But it didn't matter.

This world didn't allow for excuses, it didn't allow for ignorance, it didn't allow for weakness.

He would win.

And he would win no matter what.

His Will flourished.

BANG!

Lorien thought she was fast enough to catch Sylas off guard, but she was very wrong.
