Sylas had never given Yamero a quantity at a time to give him. And given the fact that Yamero was only taking advantage of brief instances in time he had to snatch the Lineages Sylas needed, the fact he could do this at all was already a shock.

Plus... if Sylas wanted to accomplish what he wanted, he was going to have to speed this up. There were dozens of Lineages. He couldn't just take his time on every one of them.

But he had already factored that into his process. Because he knew with absolute certainty that with every Armor he completed, he would improve by leaps and bounds.

Sylas' eyes narrowed when he saw the two Lineage Orbs in his palms, though. One was the Cheetah and the other was the Tiger. Two Big Cat Lineages. One of them was ironically also all about speed, and the other was one of fierce attacks.

The foundation of the two was still the same, though. Power and physical prowess. That was what most of the Cat Lineages were built on, the Lion Lineage being the only slight exception.

'Opportunity.'

Sylas still hadn't grasped Legendary E-tier Physical Genes. While he had all his Mental Genes completed, his body had still not perfected this.

Chi. Chi. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He shattered both orbs at the same time without the slightest bit of hesitation, his eyes darting around.

What he was doing was a baffling matter to the Emperor Sanctum. It had been said millions of times before, but The Sanctum wasn't an organization of Rune Masters. They were an organization of Will Masters.

To comprehend a Rune Armor was to grasp the very essence and Will underlying the creature it represented. You couldn't just randomly decide you wanted to comprehend another. Even the Spirit Beasts themselves had a lot of trouble doing exactly that.

Every Spirit Beast was born with multiple Spirits. It was just that one of them was dominant. What made God Beasts so powerful was precisely the ability to tap into more than just one of those Spirits at the same time, and have them be of opposing types and kinds.

Sylas didn't seem to struggle with it at all. He grasped the kernel of truth hidden within the Cheetah and the Tiger instantaneously.

Not every Lineage would have some magical hidden secret in them like the Vulture and the Dove. Some of them would be on the right track already... and just not be nearly good enough.

Sylas felt that there was absolutely no need for so many Cat Lineages to exist. And he certainly didn't believe the Lion Lineage deserved to exist as it did.

There would already be a Pride Lineage in existence. There didn't need to be a second one.

Instead, he would take the Cat Lineages another path.

He reached out at the air as Yamero brought another, and then another. The next was a Jaguar Lineage, but the fourth of them was the Lizard Lineage. Sylas let that one vanish into his Madness Key.

Yamero understood what was happening without direct communication and the next several Lineages that were brought forth were all Cat Lineages.

Sylas shattered them one after another, his eyes still darting about as his mind split into several streams, memorizing each and every one of them.

He was beginning to find more and more contradictory things, things that overlapped but other things that cancelled one another out.

But there was one that stood out to Sylas the most.

Almost all of the cat species were solitary. The only exception was the Lion Lineage. Cheetahs were barely an exception to even that rule.

It was a difference that left the disgust in Sylas' heart churning all the more. However, it wasn't contradictory.

Lions on Earth were exactly like this as well. If anything, the Lion Lineage was just following their Will perfectly.

It made Sylas wonder if he should really go about stripping the Lion of what it represented so much, or if he should honor its Will the proper way.

There was no real decision to be made. Sylas knew that if he broke free of what the Lion's Will dictated, he would only be harming the Lineage. At that point, he wouldn't be allowing it to flourish to its true height.

The only other possible choice was eliminating it entirely, and that was unacceptable.
