Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1917

Chapter 1917: Divide and Conquer

Sylas stepped eerily close to the pool of bubbling tar. It viewed like he was approximately trying to get hit by the fumes, but in reality, that was half of it.

Genes weren't as simple as simpler Genes making up larger ones.

After reaching Infinite Void Mastery of the F-tier, what Sylas realized was that even though he had fully comprehended F-tier Genes, he hadn't truly fully comprehended them.

The best way Sylas could describe it was like a mathematical proof that was intuitive even to a layman, but incredibly difficult to prove without a shadow of a doubt.

Of course, in this case what was "intuitive" was the drawing of Genes, something only a rare few Rune Masters were capable of in the first place. But from Sylas' vantage, he felt it was accurate enough.

He could draw Genes, he understood what formed them holistically, but the individual parts that made them up wasn't something he had grasped. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

In the past, Sylas hadn't thought it to be a big deal. That was because he thought that a Gene was a fundamental unit. Meaning, understanding its individual parts was unnecessary. Instead, it was more important to understand the whole.

It wasn't until he laid eyes on the Legendary Luck Gene that he realized how foolish that thought process was.

The reason he had shattered the Legendary Luck Gene in the first place was because he thought there would be some starting point that he could grasp onto since he couldn't quite understand the whole thing... Only to find that there was nothing at all.

This was all to say that the individual parts that made up something were always important. But it was impossible to understand those individual parts if you couldn't see the full view of them.

The trouble Sylas was facing after making the decision he had was that the Genes he was seeing now weren't just broken pieces of higher level Genes that were weakened down to the D-, E-, and sometimes even F-tier.

No, the real problem was that it was the actual D-, E-, and F-tier Genes being deconstructed.

Genes weren't building blocks that built atop of one another. You didn't stack E-tier Genes on top of F-tier Genes. By the time you started to work with E-tier Genes, your F-tier Genes had already long been fused into your body and become part of your Foundation.

If Sylas wanted to reconstruct these Runes, he first needed to understand how they were broken down, and that required comprehending the Poison that was here first.

By understanding the poison, he would be able to extrapolate how the Runes were broken down, the steps through which they broke down, and thus reform what pieces were left behind into the whole picture.

However, Sylas was definitely choosing the far harder path.

The far easier path would be to stand there and wait. Eventually, enough pieces of low-tier Genes would float up that he could guess at what went where and eventually reconstruct them.

Then he could use the Life Seal to hide his reconstruction from the universe and reform the body of the Hydra at the F-tier.

By the time he succeeded, the Hydra would no longer be a Hydra, but instead a Serpentes Hydra. So, Sylas wouldn't have to worry about it being detected anymore.

The reason Sylas chose this path, though, was because the Poison had fascinated him.
