Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 984

Chapter 984 Adjustments

Sylas stood in front of the world's core, staring at it calmly while the fiery pits of hell seemed intent on burning him to ash. At least that was what it seemed like; he couldn't feel much of it at all. And why would he? He was inside the core and hadn't had to cross through all of that to make it here.

The World Scepter was the World Scepter, after all. It could teleport to any location on a world… including its core.

Did that mean that Sylas could have made it here any time after he succeeded in allowing the treasure to work here?

Yes.

Did he still go out of his way to deal with most of Earth's lingering dangers, kill Ulrik, and prove himself against Lorien?

Also yes.

It was all more than worth it. He felt aligned with his Will and Demonic Will now in a way he had never been before. Much of the suppressed angst and rage had been alleviated, and he simply felt light… as though he could tiptoe his way to the very clouds themselves.

But then he remembered all the pressure still weighing on his shoulders.

Earth would complete its Summoning soon and enter the wider galaxy… Cassarae's Quest was still an unknown variable… he was surrounded by enemies from all sides no matter where he looked and even from places his gaze couldn't even reach.

What did Legacy want? Who was targeting Earth? Who put the Greed Seed inside of him?

And those were just questions about his enemies; none of it even began to touch the questions he might have about other things like who the first Overlord Race of Earth was or what the Madness Key was…

'Be Strong… Be All-Knowing…'

This was the only answer that could solve all questions.

Sylas reached a hand forward, a suffocating Will lighting forth.

In order to light a world's Progenitor Flame, one needed a Will at the Sparking level at the very least. But that was just a baseline. Depending on how a World felt about you, the bar could be higher by a substantial degree.

The more Merits you had, the easier it was. The more Demerits, the more impossible.

If you met all the requirements, the toughest part was just making it to the core of the world. The heat, the danger, the concentrations of Aether… they were all off the charts.

But for Sylas?

Almost immediately, a feeling of euphoria washed over him.

Earth had been in a silent state for an entire day and a half. In this time, no one seemed to be able to level up, Dungeons closed their doors and made many worry about breaks occurring, and no one could seem to replenish their Aether whether they were in the Aether Plane or on Earth itself.

And then there was a sudden flash. Everyone received the same notification at the same time.
