Chapter 1924: Higher State [Bonus]

The Hydra burst into laughter. It was grating, and terrible to deal with given his current headache, but Sylas still weathered the storm, standing firm.

"You speak of the S-tier like it is something you can just reach because you feel like it."

For once, the Hydra seemed to sound intelligent. Sylas wondered if it was really that the creature was so stupid, or if it had had no choice but to give up a lot of its wisdom in order to survive to this point.

Of course, this wasn't related to the stat itself—all of that was certainly gone. Instead, it was more related to its memories, its understanding, aspects of itself that were tied to pieces of its soul that were now forever gone.

The fact it had to fuse with a kernel of Greed in order to survive had probably corrupted even more of it.

The Hydra had already seemed a bit goofy at first, and now it was amplified several times over.

"Even if you were born a God it is not guaranteed, let alone you as a little Mortal. Not only do you want to do that, but you want to reach the True Rune Creation of the S-tier and reform my original body? The Beast Heaven has a few True Rune Creators of even the D-tier, and just one of the C-tier, but the S-tier? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Who do you think you are?"

"Better than they are." Sylas replied.

For a long while, the Hydra didn't say a single word. It seemed to really be sitting with the words Sylas spoke.

Sylas was correct. It had to give up a lot of itself in order to make it to this point. Its memories were fragmented, but compared to its actual raw intelligence, that was considered relatively whole.

Part of why it was being so aggressive and guarded was because it felt that it was too vulnerable to being tricked right now. The one part of its mind that it had managed to keep fully intact was its instinct and survivability.

It could rebuild everything else, but that was who it was as an existence down to its core. It would under no circumstances give that up.

Now, it couldn't help but wonder if it was being swayed too easily.

But it could feel Sylas' Will almost as clearly as Sylas himself could, and it could also see the state of Sylas' brain.

Sylas wasn't joking.

Even with its memories so fragmented, the Hydra could still remember how it had felt when it saw Sylas initially. Back then, it had also been in quite a fragmented state, but it had still had enough to realize that a Mortal becoming a True Rune Creator was asinine.

In fact, if it had had all of its memories, it would have known that Sylas was the only such Mortal across the entirety of the universe.

There wasn't one other Mortal at this level.

Not one.

"Prove it. If you can reach E-tier True Rune Creation, I will allow it."
