Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1966

Chapter 1966: Slashed

The Dino Race that Sylas saw on Earth wasn't like the dinosaur species posited by biological historians. The latter group claimed that dinosaurs were actually feathered creatures, but the Dino Race Sylas saw on the statues didn't have feathers at all.

They were a scaled race. Sylas didn't even feel any pushback when he used the Serpent Rune Armor as a foundation to build a Dino Armor for Cassarae.

Back then, Sylas hadn't thought much about it. He didn't actually care to. The secrets of the Dino Race seemed irrelevant when it came to deciding between the First Race and the Great Ape Race. It even seemed like an afterthought compared to the Clypsians and Dogons as well.

Of all the Lineages, it was the very last Sylas would have ever chosen. He only gave it to Cassarae because it suited her overwhelming strength so much.

But... was he missing something? Was the Dino Race really a bird race?

Sylas' plan to become the Progenitor of The Sanctum had no choice but to be multi-faceted. He had to attack the problem from multiple paths. So, when he was given the chance to potentially tie a Lineage to a former Overlord Race of Earth, it made sense for him to do so.

If he could tie The Sanctum and Earth together, the odds that he would be acknowledged as the Progenitor were even higher.

But right now, something in Sylas' mind seemed to have begun to churn.

It wasn't triggered by something external, but instead by himself. Just now, he had used Reaper Sealwright to sense the ancestor of the big cats on a whim. He had been too stubborn to allow the Lion Lineage to maintain their false pride, so he crushed it in his own unique way.

However, that method had also opened up a new way of thinking for him.

If the Ancestral Will of a Lineage was more powerful, then it made sense to use it instead. But in this case... 'The Dino Race is the only one that didn't survive in some way, shape, or form on Earth. Why is that?'

Sylas had already deduced that from the Great Apes, to the first Human Overlord Race, right up to the second Human Overlord Race, one could see the fingerprints of the First Race of Earth.

The Great Apes evolved into the first Humans, and then the first Humans copulated between one another to combine all of their races together to eventually create the population of Earth that Sylas knew now.

Every step forward was better than the last, and it was clear that a reconstruction of the First Race was slowly being worked toward.

However...

A Humanoid Dino Race?

Sylas had just assumed it was an anomaly. Maybe it took time for the First Race's plans to kick into gear. After all, the Clypsians and Dogons certainly didn't have anything to do with their plans either.

'Humanoid Dino...?'

Sylas frowned, his brows furrowing.

He had made a mistake. Why was he so interested in tying the Dino Race to the dinosaurs? The dinosaurs weren't humanoid, they were beasts. There was no evolutionary chain between dinosaurs and a humanoid version of them.

So where had the Dino Race come from?

A majority of Sylas perceived that he was overthinking things. There was no evidence of the Clypsians, the Dogons, or the First Race in Earth's science either. So why would he find evidence of the Dino Race there?

He was wasting his time trying to find a common thread through it all.
