Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1766

Chapter 1766: Open Vessel

The Genesis Forge Obelisk trembled. Its ancient Runes lit up, lines of crimson forming around it.

Germaine didn't even know what was happening, and honestly, neither did Sylas. He had entered this half expecting that he would need to take the risk to join the Professors as well. The reason he was pressuring Germaine so much was because this was the only way to ensure that she wasn't trying to trick him.

By the time she had fallen to a knee, Sylas had already resolved himself to take the chance. But it seemed that... that would be unnecessary.

The obelisk stabilized, radiating down an almost gentle might. However, the Runes themselves had sparks of crimson lightning within.

Sylas walked forward, his eyes still tightly sealed as blood continuously poured from them. He didn't seem to register the pain, though, as he pressed his fingers gently onto the obelisk.

A pulse formed a feedback loop with him, and he sensed an echo from the universe.

'What a... feeling.'

Sylas couldn't remember anything feeling so good. It wasn't the sort of high one experienced during sex or something of the like, but it was the sort of feeling one felt from accomplishing or executing on something particularly difficult.

For Sylas, discipline was something he had forever hung his hat on. Completing what was difficult was an art to him, and it was what fueled his Pride on Earth even when he was bored by everything else.

He was familiar with this so-called "runner's high," but he felt it from doing anything from studying, to eating well, even to waking up early in the morning. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

And this feeling was exactly like that, but multiplied several hundredfold.

It was impossibly addicting, and Sylas realized that it was like his mind was being expanded into the Mesh of Reality, experiencing the world as it truly was instead of what he simply hoped it to be.

He took a step back and exhaled.

This was it.

However, the feeling itself was only vague. Sylas knew that this wasn't how to use the obelisk.

The Genesis Forge had always required a great amount of energy. The first piece had literally come with the World Jade, one Sylas had needed to use a D-Grade Treasure on before he could get it to work properly.

In this form, it was no different.

While the Genesis Forge could still be used to upgrade Races like Sylas had been using it for, its new function was far more important to him... It no longer just upgraded Races. It could allow Sylas to peek into an elevated state while it was active.

Before, the obelisk could only be used to reach B-tier even in its completed form. Sylas had managed to use that as a springboard to elevate himself before to A-tier, and even touch Demi-God, but because of that, it had become useless to him.

Sylas had ultimately chosen to leave it on Earth so that his family could upgrade their Races, but after he had become the origin of the Grimblade Bloodline, the obelisk had become useless to his family too and had just been sitting there.

But now, this obelisk was on an entirely different level. Not only could it now upgrade one's Race all the way to the A-tier, it could certainly do it much faster.
