Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1925

Chapter 1925: Very Bad

Sylas' steps paused. Of all the answers he considered he might receive, this wasn't one of them.

He quickly asked about the rest of his body, but it seemed that only his brain was experiencing this change. Why was that?

[Host's brain is an anomaly. After experiencing trauma, in addition to a forced baptism of the God Realm, it had chosen to evolve for the sake of self-preservation] — 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Sylas stood there in the middle of the beautiful Mancer Scape for a long while.

He wasn't excited.

In fact, this was bad. Very bad.

The brain was one of the most calorie-reliant parts of the body. In fact, if Sylas remembered correctly, according to Earth's science, the brain was just two percent of the body in terms of bio mass, and yet it took up a fifth of the energy.

If Sylas' brain suddenly entered the Demi-God Realm, it would need Demi-God level nutrients. Or he would need to somehow eat enough Mortal nutrients to satiate it.

It was a good thing that Earth had started to create the exact sort of food Sylas might need, but he would still need a strong enough digestive system to digest it, and the rest of his body would have to be up to par to keep up with that sort of flood of nutrients as well.

Sylas' body was a mangled mess right now. Let alone having a sturdy enough gut to digest what he needed to, it was actively shutting down. Not being able to see was the least of his worries.

"Gogo." Sylas said.

There was a flash and the Basilisk King appeared, rising into the skies with Sylas on his head.

"Forward."

Sylas had seen one place while he was scouting things in the sky before. That was going to be his best chance of dealing with the situation right now.

Gogo launched himself through the skies, slithering through without regard. And yet, not a single soul attacked them.

"A Basilisk?" the Hydra finally said after a long while. "You Contracted a Basilisk? How is that possible?"

Sylas was too focused to answer. The question was too rhetorical anyway.

"The Basilisks should be extinct. How-..." the Hydra's voice trailed off and then Sylas felt a rising anger from it that slowly ebbed away.

Then it fell into silence, saying nothing.

Sylas couldn't help but frown when he sensed this. Why was it so angry? What had enraged it?

But the Hydra had also made it clear that it had no intention of raising a finger until Sylas could reach E-tier True Rune Creation. It was unfortunate he couldn't just ask the Madness Key to read someone's mind.

Sylas pushed it out of his mind. Right now, his main priority was healing his body.

Back in the Emperor Sanctum encampment, disciples moved in and out... well, if the slow traffic could be described that way.

The sheer number of injured and dead were off the charts. The Sanctum had entered this matter expecting to lose at least half their number, and they were well on pace to doing exactly that.
