Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1762

Chapter 1762: Insane

There were any number of reasons the Petals of the Seeing Thorn could have separated from the Seeing Eye Guild in some distant past event. Maybe they didn't progress the way the Seeing Eye Guild hoped, maybe they had a difference of opinion on how to do something, or maybe they had just naturally grown apart.

When so many people were trying to coordinate for a mission that took place in a completely separate Heaven- one that couldn't be easily visited from another Heaven-it was only natural that a few things went wrong.

But the essence of it all was that it didn't matter what the answer was.

The fact the Seeing Eye Guild didn't know who he was the moment he arrived meant that they had no connection left with the Petals of the Seeing Thorn anymore. That meant their current relationship was non-existent, which likewise meant that it was safe to assume that the Petals of the Seeing Thorn were responsible for their own survival.

The Quest had mentioned the Seeing Eye Guild, but said nothing of the Seeing Thorn.

From Sylas' deductions, that meant that if he applied pressure to the Petals of the Seeing Thorn, the odds that they'd stick to the original mission they were given were very low.

Things could go one of two ways.

Either the Petals of the Seeing Thorn would remain loyal to their original Heaven, or they would defect.

If they remained loyal, they would feel like the Seeing Eye had already been exposed, and thus would have to prioritize their own survival so that there would still be a chance to fulfill their original mission.

If they defected, then it was even easier. They wouldn't even see themselves as members of the Cryst Heaven any longer, and thus it would be even easier for them to choose to stay away from all of these matters.

Either way, Sylas won.

This was why information was so valuable. But it could be said that without Reaper Sealwright, Sylas wouldn't have been able to form this final connection at all.

"Then what do you want to use the City for instead?"

Cassarae handed the City Stele over. It pulsed with a rainbow of colors the moment it touched Sylas' palm, when before it had looked little different than the usual Silver City Stele embellished with a little bit of fluttering lights.

"Well, thanks for nothing," Cassarae cursed the City Stele. Clearly, it hadn't liked being with her.

"Myself," Sylas answered.

"Yourself? How are you going to do that?"

Sylas pointed and the pulsing golden portal of his Hibernation Realm appeared.

"Show off."

"It's not that simple, though," Sylas said, still a bit lost in his own thoughts. "I'll have to work out some things."

"Well now I'll have no Affiliation, no City Stele, and no responsibilities."

Sylas looked up at her and seemed to really look at her for the first time since he had arrived.

The room around them was as bland as could be, and in the depths of space, even the windows didn't have much other than twinkling blackness for them to see.

"You want a baby?"

Cassarae stared at Sylas blankly. After several seconds, she seemed to register what he was saying, and her eyes started to twitch.

"Did you knock a few screws loose?"

Sylas shrugged. "Just asking. You sounded like you wanted something to busy yourself."

"Are you actually going to leave me on the sidelines this whole time?"
