Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1933

Chapter 1933: Wasting Time (3)

There was one particularly large Serpent that Sylas had met before. Although it had been severely shrunk down, and it only had a fraction of its power while likewise being suppressed to the boundaries of Earth, Sylas was certain of it... Arcane Madness was a creature in a league of its own.

Even being in the belly of the World Serpent, Sylas hadn't felt as much pressure from it as he had from Arcane Madness. It was a wild thing to say, especially since the Arcane Madness Sylas had met back then was only an F- tier, but it was the truth nonetheless.

The strength of Arcane Madness was unfathomable.

But what was also interesting to Sylas was that even as Vipermancy improved, he had been continuously unable to retroactively understand just what Arcane Madness' Race was.

Arcane Madness was certainly large enough to be a World Serpent, but was it? Sylas had met a World Serpent before, one suppressed much like Arcane Madness had been. Yet, despite being suppressed to a higher ceiling, the World Serpent Sylas had met couldn't hold a candle to Arcane Madness.

So... what was Arcane Madness?

Sylas had realized long ago that this was the wrong question.

Why was it that the representations of Madness seemed to be such simple creatures? Why wasn't it more specific?

Back on Earth, Sylas had grown up in an environment where humans were homogenous. There were no Races anymore as they had all blended into one for the sake of creating the strongest Gene pool possible.

So, Sylas' world view was quite warped and different compared to what most in the wider universe experienced. As such, this oddity never really stood out to him until he looked for it.

Back on Earth, even before they had combined all their Races, there wasn't much difference between the various ethnic Races at all. However, in the universe, there was a pretty big gap between a random brown serpent and an Azurex.

Were they even truly considered the same species?

So when Madness decided that Serpentes would represent its Gluttony Path, which sort of Serpent was it talking about?

That was when it clicked for Sylas.

Arcane Madness was no one sort or type of serpent.

It was all of them.

The origin of all Serpentes, the truest amalgamation of all they were, could become, or had once been.

When Sylas put two and two together, he realized there was no stronger path.

If he was going to force the Hydra onto the Path of the Serpentes...

Then he should start at the very beginning.

BOOM.

The Ruby Finger Serpent blasted through another construct, its body bulging nearly beyond the point of no return.

With a flash of his eyes, Sylas' lips slowly parted.

"Echo Fuse."
